PART 20

Living room- everyone eating

They are all spread out, suhaani next to samrat- adhiraj next to mayank- uday with nupur/dia- benji with gunjan

" benji tum kab aaye?" mayank asked him smiling

" kal shaam ko pappa " benji replied letting go of gunjan and bending to give mayank another hug falling on uday who was near him. Dia helped him get up.

mayanks smile disappeared in a frown as the rest of the gang laughed.

" achha hua. Tumhaare hi kami thi" nupur grinned at him warmly doing a hi fi with him and glancing at dia

" wo main apne mummy pappa ko bohot miss karne laga tha na tho..." benji replied in baby voice. mayank s frown deepened .

Benji went to stand behind nupur saying," mummy, bachao." nupur grinned patting his cheek like that for a child.

"waise tum kya karne waale ho benji yahaan?"

"abhi tak tho kuch socha nahin. Kisiko assistant ki zaroorat hain kya?"

"haan mujhe" nupur replied sarcastically

"tumhe? Main mummy nahin bansaktha"

she hit him ," nahin mera college ka kaam karo na. Uday bhaiyya aap mujhe sabji paas karenge please, kab se khudh hi khaa rahe ho! " and snatched the kadaai from him. (imagine udays face)

"kya nupur tum college continue karrahin ho?" benji ,accusingly turning to mayank. Mayanks face changed slightly but nupur replied back

"kuch hi mahine tho hain .agar graduation bhi nahin karoongi tho baby kya sochega? Ki uska mummy ek baarwi paas bhi nahin " gunjan, samrat looked at mayank who had a small joyful smile on his face.

"achha, tum 12th bhi paas nahin ho?" uday looked surprised

dia suddenly laughed loud," nupur tumhe yaad hain bui ne tumhe kahaan tha ki tum apni BA ka exam ninth month mein likhoge? Imagine karo tum kaise dikhogi" they all started laughing while gunjan,mayank tried not to.

" Waise main tumhaare bte ko comedy karna sikaao?" benji grinned at her.

She nodded holding her tummy suddenly as something happened inside . mayank who caught the movement raised his eyebrows but it passed and she nodded reassuringly at him. he mouthed a thanks and she smiled shaking her head pulling a bowl towards herself

"...bhai ki wedding hain! " suhaani was saying as she hugged samrat sitting next to her,"aur wo bhi itne saalon baad! Sab kuch kitna same same lagrahaani hain nahin?" she looked around at everyone ," jaise ki jab hum sab tumhaare pehle ghar me milthe the?"

"same to same ? nahin...yeh.. Yeh nupur, jiski fridge mein mereliye hamesha icecream rehtha tha, jo mayank se hide karke mujhe khilaathi thi! Yeh meri same bloodgroupwaali sister group..!" uday stopped unable to continue

"tum mujhse hide karke uday ko...? isiliye mera grocer bill itna hain, main uday ko khilarahaan hoon?!"

"offo mayank! maine kya kiya uday bhaiyya?" nupur went and placed her hand on his arm apologetically

"tum sab kuch khudh hi khaa jaathi ho nupur, mere liye tho kuch bhi nahin bachtha" uday made a crying face. All of them had typical expressions- samrat/suhaani amused, dia and benji exchanged glances, mayank looked disgusted while adhiraj laughed

Nupur looked at him ashamed while gunjan intervened," uday bhaiyya, wo tho baby ke liye hain. kya aapki tarah di ki baby bhi stroing nahin hona chahiye?" nupur nodded

Uday looked at his muscles and gave up after astruggle," achha? agar tum kehthi ho gunjan...chalo .maaf kiya" And let nupur hug him saying," aur main tumhaare bte ko muscles banana sikhaaonga" mayank frowned

"haan tab wo basketball bhi khelpaayega, haina adhiraj? " samrat added excitedly

"agar girl baby hui tho? nupur main tumhaari princess ko style ke baare mein sab kuch sikhaaoongi" dia added dreamily

"aur di main gudiya ko gaana sikhaonngi"

"gunjan tujhe kitni baar boloon, mujhe beta chahiye"

"mujhe bhi! aur sirf gaane se kuch nahin hota gunjan, usko dancing bhi aana chahiye, acting school bhejhenge. Kyun nupur?" Suhaani added

" haan wo teek rahega" nupurs eyes brightened and both said together- itne shidaat se maine tumhe pane i koshish ki hain ki saare kaaynaat ne mujhe tumse milaane ki saazish ki hain- and laughed holding each others hands happily , suhaani with tears in her eyes

"tum na suhaani bilkul bhi nahin badli " nupur told her happily

"Stop sab lag stop ! Ek (pointing to samrat) mere bte ko basketball sikaayega, ek usko muscles banana aur ek use joker banayega tho ek usse nautanki karwaana chahtha hain...wo mera bhi baby hain okay. Wo jo bhi karegi,mere hisaaf se karegi. mere tho koi sunhi nahin rahaan! 50% contribution mera hain. tum sab log usse door hi rehna samjhe? " mayank shut them up

" main iske bachhe se door kaise rahoongi? " nupur asked to no one in particular and everyone looked at each other and started laughing

adhiraj who had been quiet throughtout stretched out and said," kuch bhi nahin badla! Sab kuch waise ka waisa hi hain " to mayank with a satisfied smile. Mayank looked at him and was forced to smile back.
