Dressed in his ever fav business suit, Ram was waiting for his wife Priya. She asked him to come quickly to the shopping mall nearby his office as she was in mood to shop her heart out with her husband beside her. He was confused if she asked him to come on towards east or west side entrance. Since he was not sure,he decided to wait for her there itself. He scanned in all direction,upto where he can see, and spotted her talking to salesgirl. She looked cute and innocent dressed in yellow-green kurti paired with jeans and a stole adorning her neck. The yellow-green combination held a important place in his love life. He blushed remniscing the moment-the moment when his wife made it clear that she takes genuine compliments not fake ones;thus earning a brownie point. He walked towards his and tapped on her shoulder exactly like in their first meeting. She turned with a smile and he checked her out making her uncomfortable. He d
"Aaj itne saal baad jeans kurti kaise?, Ram asked randomly
"Excuse me! Itne saal baad? Mai toh roz yehi pehenti hoon, She snapped
He let out a laughter, "aaj mazak ke mood mai lag rahi ho, maine toh hamesha tumhe saree mai hi dekha hai
"Saree mai?, She scrunched her nose, "maine Saari sirf Trisha ki mehendi mai pehni thi
"Common yaar! Kitna jhoot bologi aur yeh Trisha kaun hai, he asked
Her eyes popped out,aap Trisha ko nahi jante?
"Kyu wo koi celebrity hai kya jise mai jaanu,he smirked
"Celebrity wo nahi aap hai...wo sirf aapki beti hai, she calmly reminds
"Meri beti?, Ram was shocked, "yeh kab huyi?
"Mujhe kya pata, She was getting irrirated
"Priya hamari sirf 3 betiyan hai, he counts on finger, "Pihu, Pari aur Myra
"Mai Priya nahi hoon aur aapko ho kya gaya aaj jo itna different behave kar rahe hai,She was annoyed
"Are you Tipsy?, he raised his brows.
"Now you got it, she smiles in relief, "aapko yaad aaya k mai Tipsy hoon
"Tumhe pata hai na tum drink handle nahi kar sakti toh kyu drink kiya, he whispers gritting his teeth
"Mai kyu drink karungi, She grits her teeth
"Tumne abhi kaha k tum Tipsy ho, he reminds
"Haan kyunki mai..., he interrupts her, "agli bar meri absence mai tum drink ko haath bhi nahi lagaogi, he warns her
"Mai counselor hoon aur mai hi drink karungi, She retorted back
"Apna profession kab change kiya, Ram was shocked
"Maine kuch change nahi kiya bas aapka dimag kharab hogaya hai, her endurance was giving up.
Ram calmed his nerves, "we will discuss this later...abhi batao kyu bulaya mujhe yahan
"Maine aapko nahi bulaya...aapne bulaya
"This getting too much
"Aiyyo Kadavule, she gasps
"Aiyyo what?, he felt weird, "yeh kaunsi language hai priya
"Behave Mr Khanna, She shows him her palm, "aapki film mail rahi aur mujhe aise mazak nahi pasand
"Mr Kapoor se Mr Khanna, Ram was astounded, "tumne mera surname kab badla...mai Ram Kapoor the business tycoon hoon
"Aap Karan Khanna the superstar hai, she chewed the words, "enough of this non sense
In the same mall, in opposite direction same drama was going on.
"Aap ne apne kapde kab badle, Priya asked in surprised tone
"Ofcourse ghar pe, he answered
"Aap ghar kab aaye? Aap toh office mai the na, Priya enquired
"Tanpuraa, he stretched the name, "if you have forgot I am Superstar aur superstar office nahi jaate
"Accha aap superstar hai?, Priya mocked him, "yeh sab kabse horaha hai aapke saath
"Kya kabse horaha hai, he was confused
"Yehi aise ulte khalayat ya phir brahm kahu, She checked his forehead
"Yeh Tanpura alag behave kar rahi hai...khud mere maathe pe haath rakha, he was excited. He couldn't help but ask, "kafi bold hogayi ho tum Tirupu
"Tirupu? Aap yeh naam dena kab bandh karenge, she angrily stared at him, "aur Bold se matlab kya hai aapka?
"Wo tumne khud apne se mere maathe pe haath rakha na, he smiles
"Aap toh aise baat kar rahe hai jaise maine aapko pehli bar touch kiya, she shrugs
Karan was taken aback to see the bolder version of his beloved Tirupu, "Tipsy tum thik toh ho na
"Enough Mr Kapoor!, Priya gritted, "whats wrong with you today? Kaisi baatein kar rahe hai aap
"Mr Kapoor?, he popped out his eyes, "hello mai Mr Khanna hoon
Priya gave him deadly glare but he remain unaffected and Priya was surprised as her husband who usually get tamed on this look remained unaffected. She started thinking if he isn't really her Mr Kapoor.
"Mr Kapoor sach sach batayie aap kaha se aarahe hai, Priya narrowed her eyes
"Yaar stop calling me Mr Kapoor, Karan was irritated, "mai seedha apne sets se aaraha hoon...shooting khatam huyi toh socha tumhe shopping karao
"Shooting?, Priya was hell confused, "jahan tak mujhe yaad hai aap ek businessman na ke koi star
"Business aur mai, Karan asked in shock, "mai khudke accounts manage nahi kar sakta aur mai business karoonga
"Listen Mr Kapooor I am loosing my patience...aapki koi trick hai na yeh...Vikram ke saath plan kiya yeh?, Priya warns him
"Ab yeh Vikram kaun hai, Karan asks
"Haww! Aap apne best friend Vikram ko bhool gaye, Priya could not digest this fact
"Arey yaar mera dost toh Vishal hai, Karan was going bonkers
Priya had enough of it, "Ok fine! As you say. Aaj raat ghar wapas aane ki zaroorat nahi hai and with that she walks off leaving confused, bemused Karan behind.
"Yeh Tipsy itni bold hogayi ki backless blouse pehna, Karan wonders and then he felt the need to stop people staring at her so he goes behind.
There Tipsy too starts running away from Ram shouting she isn't his Priya but ram is Ram. He is chasing her in full anger. After all he cancelled his important meeting to be with her and here she is playing silly games with her and speaking alien words like nasapure(nasaamapoore) something.
"Priya stop right there...accha nahi hoga, Ram shouted.
Tipsy turns to see if Ram is close to her or far away and in the process she bumps into Priya coming from opposite direction lost in her own world.
The moment they see each other, they go numb. Priya felt as if she have bumped into a mirror. But wait, mirror shows exact reflection so why is she wearing jeans kurti in her reflection. She looks at herself to confirm what she is wearing is a saree. Tipsy,on other hand, stretches her arm to touch Priya.
She was shockingly surprised to see a identical woman, " aap toh bilkul...
"mere jaisi lagti ho, Priya completes the sentence in astonishment.
Ram and Karan who came behind them were equally shocked seeing identical women and their replicas.
Few Moments Later:
Four of them were sitting in a restaurant,in a secluded corner, to talk. How many times does it happen that you come across your dupe? So why not just check out how identical they are?
All were sitting quiet not knowing what to say or what to speak. Priya broke the silence, "kya lenge aap?
"Anything in non-veg, Karan quickly answered.
Priya smiled at him n murmured to Ram, "sirf shakl hi nahi aadatein bhi aap jaisi lagti hai...koi judwa bhai toh nahi hai na aapka
Ram fakes a smile,dekho yeh bhi ghas phoos order kar rahi hai..kahin kumb ke mele mai kho toh nahi gayi thi, Ram pointed to Tipsy who was busy ordering veg sandwiches.
"Tum bhi vegetarian ho, Priya asked
"Haan aur aap?, Tipsy asked.
"Pure vegetarian, Ram answered on her behalf and places his and Priya's order.
"Toh kya karte hai aap?, Karan asked Ram.
"I am businessman, Ram smiles, "aur aap?
"I am Karan Khanna...the superstar, Karan proudly introduces himself
"Oh films mai kaam karte ho, Ram asks.
Karan was pissed that he dont know the superstar Karan who have won many awards, "mai actor hoon wo bhi A-lister
"Oh! I see. I hardly watch movies, Ram answers.
Karan was not liking it one bit that the superstar of his stature is being treated like nobody. He decides to get it even with him, "Toh aap sabzi ka business karte hai?
Priya spits out the water she was drinking and looks at her husband who was turning red.
"Ek kaam karna...yahan se jaane ke baad google kar lena aur dekhna mera "sabzi ka business kaise chal raha hai, Ram mocked a bit. (Mr Kapoor any day over Mr Khanna so I just cant let him get insulted)
Karan didnt liked the tone and was about to say something when Tipsy's "Behave Mr Khanna stopped him.
Priya noticed Tipsy using Sanitizer after keeping menu card and Karan noticed Ram checking water with his microscopic eyes. They both looked at Ram and Tipsy and then looked at each other and passed a smile to each other.
"Yeh itni Cleanliness Freak hai, Priya whispers to Karan
"Aapke pati bhi kuch kam nahi lag rahe hai, Karan answers making Priya smile.
"Mr Kapoor, Priya whispers to gain Ram's attention.
"Kya hua?, Ram asks
"Wo dekhiye samne, Priya points towards Tipsy and Ram looks in her direction,aap ki tarha OCD hai...aapki perfect partner lag rahi hai
Ram scrunches his nose, "chup chap khana khao apna
While having their food, they keenly observed each other and their habits and were thankful to Gd for having such amazing partners.
Tipsy was glad that Karan was bit childish and not an angry man like Ram as it would have been difficult for her to handle him.
Ram was relieved that Tipsy isn't his wife. Who would like to have such a naive and cleanliness Freak wife? His freakiness was enough for him and Priya. Also his Sherni wife is much better than meek Tipsy.
Karan was glad that his Tipsy was so unlike bold, dominating Priya. He cannot imagine being dominated by his better half and for that matter being taunted and lectured for even small issues. His naive and cute Tipsy is all that he need in his life.
Priya liked Karan but his childish behaviour was bit off putting for her along with his "I,Me, Myself attitude. Her Mr Kapoor is all that she need in her life-little egoistic, lil angry bird,lil childish,lil emotional.
After having lunch, they all bid goodbyes with resolve not to meet each other again. Priya's devilish mind was weaving a plan to irritate her husband using Tipsy as she shared most of the habits with him.
