Ram: Neha please I don't want to go away from mom
Neha: k bhai Rishabh atleast you go and take rest
Rishabh: k di bhai I'll be back soon and he left to get freshen up
***************************************
After some time he came and saw that Ram was still sitting hand mom's hand in his and Neha was sitting on the other side
Rishabh: bhai now you go please
Ram: no Rishabh how can I leave maa
Rishabh: bhai I and di will be here only atleast you freshen up after a lot of insisting Ram went out of the room as soon as Ram went out Rishabh went towards the door and locked it from inside
Shailaja thought about a plan and called Neha
Neha: maa how are you
Shailaja: Neha I want you to help me
Neha: yes maa tell me
Shailaja: I have found a suitable bride for Ram and need your help for making Ram agree to this marriage
Neha: sure maa even I wanted bhai to settle down now... maa we'll involve Rishabh too
Shailaja: sure I'll call him and she later called Rishabh and told him everything
Rishabh: k maa I'm ready to do anything for bhai
Shailaja: great then Neha will call Ram and will lie to him about my health, I'm sure he'll come back even Neha will tell Ram to bring you along with him you just behave as if you don't know anything
Rishabh: wow maa you have become expert in planning
Shailaja: what can I to do if I have a son like this who is not interested in marrying then I have to do something na
Rishabh whispered: maa... maa now you can wake up
Shailaja opened her eyes: Ram went away
Neha: yes maa
Shailaja: thankgod atleast now he left the room otherwise I don't know for how long I had to act like this only
Neha: maa you only gave this idea now you are only saying like this
Shailaja: Neha I know this was my idea but I didn't know then that sleeping all the time would be this difficult
Rishabh: maa you have forced bhai to come home but now how will you make him agree for this marriage
Shailja: you just wait and watch and by the way I didn't call you both to watch the drama over here you both will also help me for this... right
Neha and Rishabh: yes maa we are with you, we also want a bhabhi we have been waiting for so long
Shailaja: what are you 2 doing speak slowly if Ram comes to know about it, he'll never agree for the marriage
Both Neha and Rishabh came towards her: we are with you... the mission of bhai getting married will definitely be completed this time and all three of them hugged, there was a knock on the door
Ram: Rishabh... Neha... open the door hearing Ram's sound Shailaja lay down on the bed and Neha was sitting on the bed holding her mother's hand and Rishabh went to open the door
Rishabh: bhai you came back so soon you should have taken rest for some time
Ram: no I'm fine... did mom wake up
Neha tensed that he might have heard tried to cover up: no one bhai only 3 of us
Rishabh: yes bhai mom is asleep only we two are there
Ram: then how come I heard 3 voices and were you guys laughing I mean I heard...
Rishabh: no bhai me and di were discussing about mom's health
Neha: bhai actually we were thinking... why did mom get high BP attack... is she worried about something
After hearing this Ram became thoughtful: what is that, that is bothering mom I should ask her there Shailaja was silently listening to the conversation she knows very well about her son she know what he thinks she was already prepared for his questions
