"abbe gadhe... jaldi uth.. kumbhakaran ke vanshaj uth..."

"sam... sone de naa yaar... and who the hell is this kumbh-whatever-ran!!!"

"angrez ki aulaad... nahin utha na to main teri aisi ki taisi kar doonga.. Riya tab se call kar rahi hai tere mobile pe..."

"KYA???!!!! RAJDHANI EXPRESS??? KAHAN? I MEAN KAB SE???" shouted a half naked Arjun, pushing aside the sheets...

"PHATTOO!!!!"came a girl's voice. sameer ducked well in time and pillow flew above his head and hit Arjun straight on his face.

"HOLY CHRIST!!!!! WHAT THE!!!!" Arjun screamed.

"what the nahin angrez Raute.. this is Riya... Riya Mukherjee... and for my EARS sake, don't swear..."

"shut up Mukherjee... I don't need you temme what I need to do..." Arjun stepped down from the bed and stretched himself. His 23 year old, well toned, muscular lean frame, with white track pants dangerously low on his hips caught her eye. His tanned skin made him look like a Greek god. She did not notice that her mouth was open and she was shamelessly ogling at him.

"like what you see???!!!" Arjun snapped his fingers in front of her eyes bringing her out of her fan girl mode. She reluctantly tore her eyes from his bare torso...

Riya pushed him keeping her hands on his chest feeling the power beneath them.

"shut up moron. Go throw some dress on yourself. Ladki ke saamne aadha nanga ghumte hue sharam nahin aati?!"

"dekhna waalon ko koi sharam nahin to dikhane waalon ko kya hoga??" he winked at her.

She turned to a pretty shade of red.

Sameer who had ducked down, slowly pulled down the duvet from his face revealing his eyes. He asked in a kiddish muffled voice

"hogaya guys??!?!! Kuch toda to nahin??!!!"

"todungi na sam... iss angrez ka sar!!! Kab se phone laga rahi thi kamina phone hi nahin uthaya..."

"look Jhalli!!!"

"you know hindi words too Angrez?!"

"teri to main..." Arjun picked up a pillow and threw it at riya. She pushed it aside with her hand which directly went and crash landed on sameer.

He who was sitting on his toes lost his balance and fell on ground.

"owww...!!!" Arjun turned and saw sameer trying to get up only to get entangled in sheets.

"LOL MAN!!! LOOK AT YOU!!! HAHA"

"Arjun... its not funny. Sam... main madad karti hun!!" she went to help Sam and so did Arjun.

"Arjun, aaj date kya hai?"

"14^th feb. kyon?"

"gadha. Ullu. Tera kuch nahin ho sakta"

Sameer turned sad at the mention of 14^th February.

"kya hua?" Arjun asked.

"kuch nahin yaar... bads aise hi... chal ja. Taiyaar hoja. Ghoomne jaate hai. Tu itne saalon baad aaya hai Mumbai."

"wo to hai. Ae miss. run-away-from-mental-hospital, tu bhi jaa... aur haan. Apna cell phone check karliyo. Samjhi ya...samjhau??" Arjun waggled his eyebrows.

"jaa jaa, bhains ki chamdi, Jaa pehle fresh ho jaa..."

Riya made her way out of the room sparing a quick glance at sameer and a longing glance at Arjun, who was busy yawning and scratching back of his head. His hand, shoulder and back muscles flexing with his each movements.

~~~~~

Half n hour later:(SMS convo)

'oye, ladki bhi taiyyar hone mein itna time nahin lagati'

'main washroom mein hoon pagal'

'ganda. Washroom mein koi mobile lejaata hai kya?'

'tere ko kya?'

'chod. Waise aaj kya plan hai?'

'meet me up at purple orchid. Shap at 5. samjhe ya...'

'samjhane ki koi zaroorat nahin hai. I ll be there.'

'I ll be waiting!!'

~~~~~

It was five in the evening.

Arjun was dressed in a pair of black formal pants and white shirt, with top 2 buttons open.

His hair wayward, small smile adoring his lips.

"Jyotsna, keep those lilies aside... you cant put them there. she is allergic to them."

He took two ribbon chains and stepped up the stool, putting the decorations on place.

"hey Phatichar, wo usse pasand nahin aayega.. I am telling you go for sunny yellow..."

"sacchi riya?! She wont like this?" Arjun looked down at her and then at the white and pink ribbons in his hand confusedly.

"ask me. After all, Aisha is my best friend..."

Arjun got down the stool and slumped on the stool. Main aur kya karun yaar... kuch samajh nahin aaraha hai... I need to make it indeed special day for her... unique proposal..." he pouted cutely. Riya pulled his cheeks and ruffled his hair some more.

"dun do that riya..." he tried to set his hair in their place.

"sun Arjun... jo bhi taiyaar kiya hai tu ne, that's good. Small changes karne hai, I ll help you..."

"sach!!! Chal phir..."

He turned around and suddenly something flashed in his mind.

"By the way tumne Aisha ko kitne baje aane ko kaha?"
"6.30... bdw sam kahan hai? Dikh nahin raha..."

"pata nahin. Last I checked he was at book house selecting something!!"

"aaj bhi book house??!!! (she picked roll of yellow ribbon and indicated him to set it on the wall) iss ladke ka kuch nahin ho sakta..."they worked on decoration swiftly.

"jo bhi ho... its already six now. I ll meet you at 9... aah!!!! Aagaya sameer..."

"I ll leave Arjun... ciao..."

"abbey sale tu itna late kyun aaya??? Kitna kaam tha aur main akela..." Arjun slapped sameer's back..

"sorry buddy, wo... mujhe ye kitaab leni thi... I had ordered it... to..."

"chal.. ab thoda to haath bata... riya bhi chaligayi.. Aisha thodi der mein aa jaayegi..."

~~~~~

"kya hua Aisha maan gayi?!??!!!" riya asked him handing him glass of water.

He pushed his cell phone towards her.

"watch this..." he started gulping water.

There was stunned silence on the table. No third person could make out what exactly was happening.

Riya's mouth dramatically widened after some and she broke into peals of laughter.

"OMG!!!! I cant believe this Arjun... she... hahah... Aisha proposed... not...haha"

People from near by table stared at the strange duo who were rolling on their chairs laughing.

"haan... riya... Aisha ne sam ko propose kiya... hahaha... I was you know, faint hone waala tha... Sam, shy nature ka hai pata ai... par I love you nahin bol paayega uske saamne, ye nahin socha tha maine... haha... sweat bahake decorations maine kiya aur... aur he did not propose her... Aisha did...hahaha"

Their faces turned red due to continuous laughing.

"that means you did not teach him properly..." riya raised her brow at him, giving him a cheesy smile.

"aur kya sikhau??? I taught him how to tell I love you over skype... he said that to me so many times to practice that my friends at London think that I am in love with... sam!!!!!" Arjun shuddered at the remainder of those teasing stares his friends gave back at London.

"sirf kiss karna sikhana baaki rehgaya hai..." he muttered in low voice.

Hearing to his words riya doubled laughing.

"aage ka video dekhna de naa Arjun..."

"aage bas sam ki aur embarrassment hai bas... Aisha pulled him into kiss" Arjun covered his mouth with palms and laughed silently. He slid few inches from his chair and banged his fist on table trying t control his laughing bout.

Riya's mouth hung open for few seconds before she was in her laughter fits..

They had their dinner amidst laughter and masti.

It was half past ten when they were out of restaurant.

Arjun slowly slid his hand in her and entwined their fingers.

Riya looked up and gave him a shy smile.

"thank god ki sameer and Aisha are together.."

"kyun??" riya asked why he sounded so relaxed.

"hum saare cousins mein he is eldest. 25 ka hogaya hai wo... ab meri line clear hogayi..." he winked and she blushed.

"I missed you a lot Arjun..."

"I missed you too express mail... I love you..."

"don't I know that?" she smiled mischievously at him.

He snuggled closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder, walking slowly towards their car.
