Ramona smiled at the confused faces before her.
"Extra help? Yeh kaisa help hain Ramona" Sur asked on behalf of all.
"Hum dho aise logon ko layenge jo dil aur rishthe iske maamlein mein expert hain" Ramona replied with an excited smile.
"Yeh kaisa experts hain bhai" Krishna asked scratching his head in confusion. While Maan and Sur exchanged a totally confused look.
"I guess it's better you guys meet them" Ramona replied standing up "It's time they arrived"
She gazed towards the door expectantly.
A metallic silver Audi R8 came to a screeching halt in the spacious front porch of Khuranna Mansion.
"The first one is here" Ramona said.
Ramona rushed towards the door with a fond smile playing on her face. Maan, Sur and Krishna followed her.
A tall handsome man stepped out of the car. He was dressed in a t-shirt, jacket and jeans. A naughty smile was playing on his face enhancing his features.
Ryan Oberoi
"Wow! This is one hell of a mansion" he said looking appreciatively around KM.
"Ryan" his most beloved sister's voice sounded from behind him.
He turned to look at her with a smile and walked towards her with open arms.
"Deedhs" he said happily taking her in a bone crushing hug.
Krishna looked at them with a smile. He and Ramona were very good friends now. They were also partners now on the mission of bringing his Sid bhai on track. He loved to see her happy and smiling. It helped ease some of the guilt he felt for his previous misbehaviour towards her.
"Let me go shaithaan, do you want to crush me" Ramona said playfully.
"Not fair Deedhs, ithne dhino ke baath mein apni beautiful deedhs ko mil raha hun'..waise Deedhs aap mothi ho gayi hon" Ryan said, with a grin.
"Mein mothi! Never!" Ramona said with a pout "Badi Bhabhi kya mein mothi hun?" she turned and asked Sur.
"Bilkul nahin'..magar apne shaithaan bhai ko humsein tho milao" Sur said with a smile.
"Dekha Ryan, I am not fat" Ramona said to her brother, putting her tongue out "Everyone this is my one and only shaithaan urf brother Ryan Oberoi'..returned from Switzerland when we were in Mauritius'.he is going to help us in our mission"
"This must be the eldest gorgeous bahu of this house Sur Khuranna" Ryan acknowledged kissing Sur's hand. Maan grinded his teeth and glared at Ryan (which wasn't missed by Ryan who smirked).
"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Oberoi" Sur said in equal style and then patted his cheeks with a laugh
"Maan Singh Khuranna, the alpha male of Khuranna empire, pleasure to meet you sir" Ryan extended his hands for a handshake and got a bone crushing one from Maan. Krishna suppressed a snigger seeing his elder brothers and brother-in-laws expressions.
"Jeejs" Ryan went forward and hugged Krishna.
"Deedhs had explained everything to me'.Jeej its good thing that you have redeemed else by now you would be in the hospital" Ryan said giving Krishna a mock threatening look.
Ramona mouthed a sorry. Krishna nodded understandingly. In the process of explaining about their new mission she had to tell him the entire truth about the family.
"So now we are on mission Sid and mission Nidha, by the way where are these characters" Ryan asked while walking into the Mansion.
"Sid bhai has gone out to god knows where but Chothi that is Nidha" Krishna said, looking around for Nidha "There she is" he pointed towards the dinning table where Nidha was standing engrossed in some work.
"Chothi what part of you need rest is difficult for you to understand" Sur said scolding Nidha and walking hurriedly towards her.
"Badi bhabhi I am fine besides you told that guests will be coming today so I thought the work will be extra" Nidha explained with a smile.
"I am sure that I do not belong to guest category Senorita" Ryan said walking towards her and pulling of his shades. He took her hand and placed a kiss on it "I am family right Deedhs"
"Ryan, Ryan Oberoi, chothi bhabhi's brother right" Nidha said with a smile.
"At your service madam" Ryan bowed with a flourish of his arms.
"Good thing Jeh isn't here" Krishna muttered causing Ramona and Maan to snigger.
"There is four more beautiful ladies in this household I believe" Ryan said looking around.
Badi Daadi and Mummyji came into the hall at the time. They smiled politely at the newcomer. Ryan went and took blessings from both the elderly ladies.
"Apni behen ko shaadi ke baath bhool gaye kya Ryan" BD asked, affectionately holding Ryan's ears.
"Ouch BD! You still remember me" Ryan said, slightly surprised.
"It's been only one and half years beta, we both are not that old" Mummyji said ruffling his hair fondly.
"You both are still sexy" Ryan said with a wink.
"Shaithaan" BD scolded trying to hit him but he moved back. In the process he hit Fiza who was coming down the stairs causing her to fall. But her fall was broken in the nick of time by Ryan. Sid entered the mansion at the same instant.
"Oh boy" Ramona muttered looking back and forth between Sid and Ryan, who was now straightening up Fiza.
"This must be the bold and beautiful Fiza Khuranna" Ryan said smiling at her, giving her too kiss on the hand, causing Sid's blood to boil further. Ryan didn't miss that and he knew that his job was going to be all the more easy
Makkan he thought
Fiza gave him a confused polite smile.
"Bhabhi this is Ryan, my brother" Ramona introduced him to Fiza.
"Oh so this is your charming brother, he truly is a charmer Ramona" Fiza said with a smile towards Ryan.
"Ryan this is Sid bhai" Krishna said.
"Nice to meet you Sid bhai" Ryan said extending his hand.
"The pleasure is ours Ryan" Sid replied with an almost threatening smile.
At the moment,
"Hello hi bye bye kahe humaar dimaag khaye rahe hon aap, hum bolath rahe hain na ki hum trayffic mein phas gaye, ee liye latiya gaye Khuranna Mansion mein pahoonchne ma" a middle aged woman shouted into the phone while walking into the KM. She cut the call and looked up at the people.
"Manno maami" Fiza and Nidha screamed simultaneously rushing towards her.
"Hello hi bye bye mere dho pyaari angels'.kithne dhin hue hain tumhein dekh kar aur tumne humko yaad bhi nahin kiya" Manno maami said hugging both girls tearfully.
"Manorama aap jab chacho tab yaha apni betiyon se milne aa sakthi hon'..inke shaadhi ke saal gira par bhi aap nahin aayi" BD said coming forward to her.
"Savitriji hum aathe who ka hain na humaar bete ke liye Bridewa dhoondhne mein bujy the hum ee liye hum aa na paye'.lekin jab Ramona bitiya bhulaya aur kaha ki humaar dhono angelwa ko humaar yaadh aa raha hain tab hum dhudkar aa gaye" Manorama explained smiling fondly at her nieces.
"Maami aap usse nahin layi" Nidha asked looking around her maami.
"Kisse? Oh usse'..uske bina hum kabhi aaye hain ka" Manno maami said "Kaha gayi who'. Lakshmi" Manno called out.
They heard someone shouting from outside.
"Who the hell let this mutton inside" Jeh was shouting at some poor shivering servants, pointing at a goat dressed in a colourful coat "It has eaten almost half of the plant" he pointed at small rose plant.
"Lakshmi" Nidha shouted running towards the goat and picking it up.
Jeh looked at his wife incredulously. She was cuddling the goat like a pet poodle.
"Nidha is this your pet mutton" Jeh asked her looking at her with wide eyes.
"Mutton? Koi jeethe jaagthe bakhri ko mutton bulatha hain kya hain Jeh'..tum bhi na" Nidha said shaking her head at him "Aur waise bhi iska tho ek naam bhi hain, Lakshmi...call her that" she finished threateningly.
Jeh's eyes were the size of dinner plates now. His wife couldn't get any more weirder.
Everyone standing in the courtyard laughed at the site in front of them.
