Tia's Thread - Backstabber!!!

There are no bigger blessing than great friends...

There are no bigger threat than smart enemies...

But there is nothing more dangerous than enemies who are disguised as friends...

Because you will be on your guard with enemies. But you won't keep your guard on with your friends. 

When enemies hurt, people get over it. 

When enemies disguised as friends hurt, people can't get over that betrayal so easily.

However, when people themselves stick their head in the mud and refuse to see all the evidences lying around them, they only have themselves to blame for their misfortune.

As I always say, love with all your heart. But don't leave your brain behind.

Love intelligently, not blindly!!!


EPISODE: The episode starts with Bhaiya and Sonakshi coming home.

They call Ishwari to assure her that they are fine.

Ishwari says: Thank God. I knew that if you have gone then you will return with Sonakshi.

Bhaiya says: Yes, we are fine. Go to sleep.

Ishwari again asks about Sonakshi and Bhaiya assures her that she is fine.

Radha makes a gesture to Ishwari as if asking about Sonakshi. She looks worried.

Ishwari assures her that they are both fine. They are on the way.

Radha looks relieved to hear that.

Me: Were those Dixit house keys or magic wand? How the heck can a bunch of keys change someone's personality that much? In that logic, if Bhaiya hands over the keys to his business to Vicky, he will also have a complete personality change. Won't he?


Both Bhaiya and Sonakshi say together: We won't tell Maa.

They smile together.

Me: Yep. Don't tell her or both will get locked up in Dixit house forever. As it is Ishwari is the worry queen. Her that habit didn't change.


Radha is going to bed when she sees Elena sitting sadly in the window by the dining room.

She asks: Elena, what happened to you? Why are you sitting here?

Vicky comes there to get a glass of water.

Elena says: Nothing, Mummyji.

Then Radha sees Vicky and asks: Vicky, how much water will you drink? Do you want anything else?

Vicky also denies.


Radha is suspicious.

Vicky says to Elena that he wants to talk to her.

Elena doesn't respond.

Radha notices Elena's stone face.

Radha asks: Did anything happen between you two? Did you fight with each other?

Vicky denies: No nothing like that. I just want to talk to her.

Radha asks: How did nothing happen? You two aren't even talking to each other. Tell me what happened.

Elena says: There's nothing left to say. Whatever Vicky had to say and do, he has said and done it.

Radha looks at Vicky angrily: Vicky, what is Elena saying? Tell me.

Vicky says: Nothing happened. You go to your room. I will talk to her.

Radha tries to protest but Vicky tells her to go.

Radha leaves reluctantly.

Me: Radha, you have put so much poison in Vicky that it not only making the foundation of your newfound sense of family hollow but also it's making his every relationship toxic. He couldn't be a good son, a good brother, a good nephew, a good husband, a good father. Heck, he couldn't even be a good human being. 

When the ground is toxic, how will prosperity grow there?


Vicky tries to talk to Elena.

Elena gets up and starts to leave.

Vicky holds her hand. Elena shrugs off her hand.

Vicky says: Elena, I am trying to say sorry to you and you are walking away shrugging me off.

Elena: Keep your sorry to yourself, Vicky. What you have done won't go away with your sorry. Who gave you the right to raise your hand on me? You are forgetting one thing. You are my husband, not my God. 

Me: Well said, Elena. I hope every women is listening this who had been brainwashed to believe that somehow when a man goes round the fire with them overnight turns into God from human being. Husband or wife aren't God to each other. Husband and wife are life partners. Neither has the right to run rough shed over the other nor they have the right to physically, emotionally or mentally abuse the other.


Vicky whines: I knew it. I knew this will happen. Because people keep interfering in my life. No one wants to see me happy in this home.

Elena: I am now absolutely convinced after hearing your talk that you have completely gone blind. You can't put the blame of your own deed on someone else...

Vicky gets angry and walks aggressively towards Elena: Elena...

Elena glares at him: Why did you stop? Raise your hand. You can only do that. But before you do this, just remember that if you cross this line again or tried to hurt our family, then I will leave you and I won't leave alone. I will take Golu with me.

Vicky: You will go away leaving me?

Elena: If need arises, then for sure. I will get a divorce. Then you will understand what family means.

She walks away. Vicky thinks.

Me: Vicky had loved only two person in his life - his mother and his wife. Golu for him is a possession, not his son yet. 

He always thought that his mother and Elena will always support him no matter what. Now after poisoning his mind for years, suddenly Radha turned getting the control of the house and Elena is also totally devoted to his no. 1 rival - Dev Dixit. 

Golu was always devoted to Bhaiya. So now he is feeling that he has been left alone and in his twisted mind, he thinks that if he gets everything Bhaiya has in terms of material wealth, his mother and his wife will again be completely devoted to him. 

I guess he will learn after his mistakes how wrong he was.


Sonakshi and Bhaiya are coming home.

Sonakshi: Dev, can we stop for coffee somewhere? 

Me: Are you kidding me? After what happened you still want to hang around on the road of Delhi? Crazy or what? 

Does she think Bhaiya is Superman? No seriously. What if some other goons attack. Then what? One sets of action wasn't enough for her? Any other person will be shocked and trembling. But Sonakshi wants to go on a coffee date. 

Bhaiya agrees.

Me: Great. Bhaiya also thinks he is Superman.


Saurabh and Ronita come home. Saurabh says: Whatever the doctor said, we will do this. We won't do anything new.

They enter their home and sees the whole house is decorated with flowers and candles.

They get surprised.

Ronita says: Wow, so beautiful.

Saurabh says: We should go out more often.

He tries to get romantic.

Just then Bijoy clears his voice. Asha is also there in bridal-ish attire.

Me: Not sure why they are all so decked up though.

Bijoy asks: You two are here so early? You were supposed to come three house later, no?

Asha says: You didn't even call and tell us that you guys are on the way.

Me: Hain? Were Bijoy and Asha planning date night?


Ronita: Maa, our work got done fast, so we came home early. By the way, who did this decoration? It's so beautiful. And why are you so nicely dressed up?

Me: Good question. I'd also like to know that.


Bijoy says: This is our wedding dress.

Me: They date in wedding attire? How strange.

Bijoy says smugly: We completed the seven rounds. We got married again.

Saurabh says: But you said that there will be no talk about this.

Asha says: Yes. He had said it. But then he himself said that the rituals must be complete. So I agreed to make him happy.

Me: I think Bijoy thinks Asha might dump him. So he is tying her up in every way possible. 


Ronita says: Awww... How cute, Baba.

Bijoy says: What cute? We are newly married couple. And you two ruined our first night.

Asha scolds him: Bijoy...

Ronita's giggle come out. Saurabh says: No problem. We will go to a hotel.

Bijoy says: No point in that. Now you have seen everything. All the thrills are gone.

Saurabh says: This is not fair. You two also came on our honeymoon.

Ronita signals Saurabh. They say good night and leave.

Me: I must say, Bijoy is very romantic even at his age. Asha is very lucky. 

I can tell you from my own experience, romantic husbands aren't those who book candlelight dinner every week or take you on a date every weekend (although those are nice as well). Romantic husbands are those who will rub your back after a hard day of work, run their fingers through your hair when you are snuggling and watching a movie, suddenly look at you for some reason and forget their train of thought. 

Everyday romances go a longer way than special occasion romance.

Sonakshi must take after her mother.


Bhaiya stops his car by the coffee shop.

Sonakshi is about to go out when Bhaiya asks her to stay put.

He gets out the car, looks around the area and then opens the door. He gently holds Sonakshi to help her out of the car.

Then he hugs her by his side and holds one of her hand and walks to the coffee shop.

He gently makes her sit and orders two coffees. Then he sits down and holds her hand as if to make sure that she is there.

Sonakshi smiles a little.

The waiter gets them coffee.

Bhaiya takes both coffee and thanks the waiter.

Then he hands one of the coffee to Sonakshi and again puts one of his arm around her. 

Sonakshi gets busy drinking coffee and Bhaiya gets busy in his favourite activity - staring at her.

Then he gently caresses her hair.

Sonakshi looks up and sees him staring at her.

She smiles. Bhaiya smiles back. But hugs her closer.


Me: See how traumatised he is? Why are you raising his stress level and blood pressure? Go home and make coffee there. You already got your garden to hang around. 

He is more shaken with the prospect of losing her than she is on the prospect of getting into huge trouble. 

You'd think that her brain will get active and she will understand that more than her, Bhaiya needs comfort and assurance right now. But nope. Sense is too much to expect from Sonakshi.


At Bose house, Saurabh tells Ronita: What are you saying? Had I known, would I have come home early?

Ronita says: You should have known, naa Saurabh.

Saurabh: Great!!! You also live in this house. You could have also find out.

They enter their room and see that their room is also decorated with flowers, candles and cupid vomit tacky decorations. 

Ronita says: Wow, this is so beautiful.

Saurabh says: Yes, okay. But I am getting confused. Did they do it for us or Maa and Baba are planning to do it here...

Ronita laughs: How stupid, Saurabh. Of course they did it for us. I can't believe this. They have done such nice decoration for us, no?

Saurabh says: Yes. My parents must be feeling so embarrassed naa?

Ronita: Your? Our parents who are super cute.

Me: Typical Bose family cute scene, typical low budget tacky decoration. Moving on.


Next morning, Ishwari is leaving for work. She says bye to Riya and Nikki.

Me: Ishwari is looking 30 years younger. I swear to God, Supriyaji is looking younger than Sonakshi with much better attire.


Nikki says: I am so happy that you have decided to go back to work. Lakshya will be very happy to see you there. No one was feeling good since you left.

Riya says: Maa, you are looking lovely. All the best.

Ishwari says: Thank you.

Radha comes there: Jiji, you are going to work, naa. Then drop me at the market. The vegetable vendor didn't come here for two days.

Ishwari says: Arre, why did you have to go to market to buy vegetable? There is an app in my work laptop. 

Radha doesn't understand app.

Ishwari says: It's like vegetable market. I can go there and order whatever vegetable you want. Tell me what you want to get, I will order, vegetable will come home.

Radha becomes happy.

Ishwari then asks Riya: Why didn't you send Aru's picture yet?

Riya says: I didn't have time to make the print, Maa. 

Ishwari says: But I don't need the print. I am going to make a design in the laptop with everyone's picture. So email me the picture. 

Ishwari then tells Radha: Did you know that no matter how many picture we need, we can put them in clouds.

Radha takes cloud literally: Hain? In the cloud? Jiji, whatever...

She laughs.

Nikki says: Maami, Maa wanted to say that people can save documents in cloud storage through internet.

Radha is still giggling: Really?

Ishwari says: I am getting late so I am leaving. Let Dev and Sonakshi know.

Radha nods. Nikki and Riya waves good bye.

Me: Wow. Ishwari is progressing leaps and bounds. From computer illiterate to apps to making designs around photographs to cloud storage... That's why people say, there is no age limit to learning. One can learn anything anytime.

I am totally loving Ishwari these days. I don't even have problem with her Halwa anymore since she no longer gets the ho ho funeral music.


Sonakshi comes to Bhaiya who is sleeping in last night's outfit. That hair is still unbearable.

Sonakshi kisses him on the forehead which wakes him up.

She says: Arre, don't get up. Go back to sleep. You have done such a long action scene last night, so much stress, so much tension. Now go back to sleep. When you had enough rest, then get up. I am going to work.

Me: Oh so you are not oblivious, you were just insensitive. I thought that you didn't understand Bhaiya's stress. But you did and you just didn't care. Great!!!


So Sonakshi says that she is going to work.

Bhaiya asks: So soon? 

Me: What soon? Your mother already left for work. 


Sonakshi says: Yes, I forgot to tell you last night. The deal with the investors got finalised. It's a big deal and time is short. So that's why I have to leave. Your breakfast is ready. So eat before you leave, okay?


Sonakshi is about to leave when Bhaiya grabs her hand.

Sonakshi smiles and sits down: I shouldn't leave? I wish I didn't have to go. But I have to or I will be late. Okay? Bye. 

She leaves.

Bhaiya shouts after her: Be safe.

Me: I hate to say this. But Bhaiya is exhibiting signs of trauma. Let me see some more and see if he behaves normally the rest of the day.


Sonakshi is in a meeting. She tells the guy: First we will have to analyze what kind of food our consumer likes to eat. Right?

She notices the guy's expression: Did I say something wrong?

The guy says: No, you didn't say anything wrong. Dr. Bose, I have no doubt on your capability. But this is a big project whose aspect scale is huge. Investment is a small thing. But the quantity of deliverable is huge...

Sonakshi says: I can understand that. The way I have promised you, I will deliver you that. It is as important for me as it is for you. So don't worry.

The guy nods but he still has hesitation.

Me: One thing I don't get here. All these concerns should be addressed before signing the deal, not after. He could not wait until the next day to meet, made Sonakshi traipse through the city to make this deal and today suddenly he has concerns. How and why?


Sonakshi gets a call from Bhaiya. She cuts the call and says sorry.

She is about to speak, but gets his call again.

The guy tells her that she can attend the call.

Sonakshi picks up the phone and says: I will call you back. Okay? Bye.

She turns off the phone.

Me: Sonakshi, good etiquette of business is to turn your phone silent or off during meetings. I thought you'd have learned this. 


Then she continues her meeting: So what I was trying to say is that your concern is valid. Don't worry. I will handle everything.

Just then that guy's phone rings: Mr. Dixit? Sure, tell me what I can do for you. Okay. I will tell her right now.

Sonakshi gets pissed off. 

The guy says: You didn't tell me Dr. Bose that you are Dev Dixit's wife. He himself is such a huge name. After knowing this, now I am even more assured that I can't get a better partner than you.

Sonakshi says: If you are more confident in my work than my name, then this deal can get done.

The guy says: Of course. I have no doubt on your work. Now you go. Mr. Dev Dixit is waiting for you downstairs.

Me: Normally this would be annoying to me. But today I can get Bhaiya. I have a strong feeling that he needs to deal with the trauma of almost losing his wife. Because right now, he is not in normal head space.


Sonakshi comes out and scolds Bhaiya: What are you doing here? And how did you get his phone no?

Bhaiya jokes: Why, how and what, you don't have those answers. Your husband has them.

Sonakshi says: This is not funny.

Bhaiya: Yes, even I am serious. You got out from home and I was right behind you.

Sonakshi: So you started following me too?

Me: Hain? Mad or what? You don't know your husband? Tera bhi nehin, tera hi peecha personally karta hain woh to. Baaki ke peeche to jasoos lagata hain.

(Not you too, but he follows only you personally. He sics PIs after everyone else)


Bhaiya makes excuses: Not following you. I was thinking about you and missing you.

Sonakshi says: People who miss someone don't hide their gaze like this.

Bhaiya is still looking away: Wife of people who miss them don't get mad and scold them.

Sonakshi says: Dev, look at me. Whatever happened yesterday was an accident. People take out umbrella when rain falls. They don't stop going out.

Bhaiya: Why is all your example related to rain? I missed you. So I came. No big deal.

Just then Sonakshi gets a message. She shows it to Bhaiya: Do you see this? He accepted my proposal.

Me: Hain? I thought the deal got finalised yesterday. Didn't she say that this morning? Now what CVs? You are not even watching the same day episodes?


Bhaiya gets happy: Congratulations... This is what you wanted no?

Sonakshi says: Yes. This is what I wanted. I didn't want to make you do this. If I get this by using your name, then it's not my win. 

Bhaiya: But I didn't do anything.

Sonakshi: You did everything. You called him and said that I am your wife and all his confusion vanished in a minute?


Bhaiya: You are my wife, it's as big a truth as that you are Dr. Sonakshi Bose.

Sonakshi: You don't understand anything.

Bhaiya: Look, I understand this much. You are smart, intelligent, hard working and that's why you got this contract. Now you are also my wife along with all these. Now what can I do about it?

Sonakshi gets mad and goes and sits in Bhaiya's car.

Bhaiya says: And reply to your messages.

Sonakshi slams the door.

Me: Bhaiya, here's an advice for you. When a woman is angry, don't crack jokes. You are most likely to get your head bitten off. 

Sonakshi, here's an advice for you too. Stop getting shocked at Bhaiya's typical behaviour. The guy who charges his ex-girlfriend's boss for not treating her well, get her fiance's loan rejected, gets his nephew passed despite bad academic performance, how can you assume that he won't go and grease your way specially when you went and revealed how important this deal is for you?

Don't you know your husband even a little bit?

Dev Dixit will always remain who he is. You just have to handle him with brains.


Vicky comes to Bhaiya's office. He confirms with someone that he is at Bhaiya's office.

That guy says that there is a lot of security in Dev Dixit's office. There is cctv cameras everywhere. He will have to be careful there.

Vicky says: Don't worry about that. I will delete the footage the moment I step out.

Vicky gives assurance to the guy that he will do what he promised.

The guy says: There is profit. But I hope you two brothers are not getting me into trouble.

Me: I think Vicky is planning to leak company secrets to that guy. He must be Bhaiya's rival. 

Vicky says: I knew you will say this. We will meet in the evening and you will get the proof.

The guy agrees.

Vicky sets up the bug right behind Bhaiya's desk where he keeps his laptop.

Then Vicky sits in the chair and smirks.

Me: And that's what I said in my little blurb on top. When you hug a snake, you will get a bite. That's not the snake's fault. It's its nature. It's your fault for not paying attention to its nature.

It's not the first time Vicky stole from you that you will find out about. Once he stole from your company when he eloped with Elena, then he sold your company space to Sonakshi without your knowledge and pocketed the money, then he stole from Golu's investments you made for his future. Your mistake was that when you keep catching him red-handed and keep letting him go.

Just think, a man who can steal from his own son's account, what can he do to you? 


Bhaiya and Sonakshi come to work. Sonakshi storms to her side. Bhaiya looks at her and then goes to his office.

He sees Vicky is standing by his desk and pretending to work. 

Vicky pretends as if nothing happened yesterday when he accused him of stealing his son and almost hit his wife.

He says: Bhai, this is some audit report I wanted to discuss with you...

Bhaiya says: Not now, Vicky. I need some time. 

Vicky says: Okay. As you wish.

Bhaiya sits down on his desk and opens his laptop.

Me: Which is exactly what Vicky wanted. Bhaiya, didn't it even seem strange to you that someone who was behaving like you ruined his life, suddenly today behaving as if nothing happened yesterday? 

Doesn't it ring your alarm bells? I am curious if you are playing along to catch Vicky or are you that dumb these days?


Ishwari comes to her office. Shivani greets her.

Ishwari says: How are you?

Shivani says: We are good. But we are angry with you.

Even Raman jokes: This is really not done.

Lakshya comes out and sees Ishwari.

He is pleasantly surprised and smiles at her.

Shivani wishes him good morning. He happily says good morning to her too.

Raman and Shivani walk away.

Lakshya says to Ishwari: What a pleasant surprise. 

Ishwari says: I have come to take my resignation back.

Lakshya says: Really?

Ishwari says: That day you came to my home and you said that I should not leave my job. If there is still a space for me in this office, then I...

Lakshya says: You will always have a space in this office. No one can take this place. So welcome back to our company. 

Ishwari smiles and thanks him. She says: One more thing I have to say to you.

Lakshya says: Tell me.

Ishwari says: I want to remain your intern and you to remain my boss here. I don't want our personal talks to come to this office. So if we keep our personal life away from here...

Lakshya says: Your request is just and I agree with you. You are just my intern here and my favourite employee and I promise you that. I just have one condition.

Ishwari asks: What?

Lakshya: Please don't call me you (formal)... Please...

Ishwari smiles and agrees. 

Lakshya says: Awesome.

Ishwari also says: Awesome.

Ishwari and Lakshya walk away smiling.

Me: I really like how their bonding is forming. Ishwari and Sonakshi forged their bond through fire of trials and time and Ishwari and Lakshya forged their bond through ice of indifference and nonacceptance.

Both bonds are now getting stronger and beyond the lifestyle choice and personal decisions or point of views, they are coming to appreciate the person.


Sonakshi is working at her desk when she heard shouts outside.

She wonders: What is this noise? Did I miss anyone's birthday?

Just then her employees come to her and cheers: Three cheers for best boss in the world. Hip hip hurray.


Bhaiya also hears the noise and looks through his little window of Sonakshi view.

Sonakshi wonders: But what did I do?

Her employee says: As if you don't know. You got this huge contract on your own. 

Other employee says: Celebration is a must, Dr. Bose.

Bhaiya also says from his office: Miss Bose, this is the time for happiness. So you should celebrate. But if you don't want to celebrate, I will still make you celebrate.

Sonakshi says: You guys arranged cake so fast too.

The employee says: Come on, ma'am. You must cut the cake.

Bhaiya says in his office: Silly girl. You celebrate happiness. You don't even know that. So what? I will give you so many reasons to be happy that you will have to be happy.

Sonakshi cuts the cake and distributes cake to her employees.

They thank her and leave.

Then she looks at her favourite stalker.

Bhaiya looks away quickly. Then looks again: Celebrate Miss Bose. This is your win and your win is my win.

Sonakshi is doing something with the remaining cake. 

Me: May be she will take it to Bhaiya to share. After all, he is her life partner. She could have call him to cut the cake though. If nothing else, he is her husband.


PRECAP: Bhaiya has decorated the room and gave Sonakshi a present.

She asks what is this?

Bhaiya asks her to see it.

She opens the box and smiles.

It's Mangalsutra and a pot of sindoor.

Bhaiya puts Mangalsutra around her neck and Sindoor on her forehead.

Then he turns her to the mirror and hugs her from the back: Like you are now in my arms. You are mine and no one can snatch you away from me. No one.


Me: Bijoy part 2. I guess Sonakshi looking unattached was sticking to Bhaiya's craw. So just like Bijoy, he also sealed the deal as fast as possible. Didn't I say that Bhaiya is going to be Bijoy as time goes on?



NO RULES!!! YAY!!!
