Chapter 18
Virat stood transfixed in his place. He kept staring at Prem from head to toe, still trying to take in the fact.
Prem however, looked at Virat's baffled expression and strided towards him.
Virat was just about to open his mouth to speak up, when Prem punched him in the stomach!
Jeevika and Heer gasped and Manvi and Viren walked closer to them with hurried steps.
Virat realized that it was indeed Prem and held his hand, while Prem moved forward and glared at Virat.
The very next moment, the pair of them hugged each other and separated smiling, leaving the family confused.
Prem punched Virat again on his arm, "Kaminey.. Ab mila hai tu.. Itne saalon baad.."
Virat: "Ouch! Yaar.. bass kar ab.. Kitna peetega.. dikh raha hai tune dolle-sholle bana liye hain.. Lekin saari mehnat mere pe hi kharch karega kya?"
Viren finally stepped forward and stood next to Virat, "Tum dono ek doosre ko jaante ho?"
Virat smiled, "Bhai! Of course jaante hain..Yahi toh hai, mere college ke dinon ka eklauta dost!"
Prem was shocked and looked at Viren,
"Bhai? Iska matlab aap Viren Bhai hain.. Damn.. Maine pehle kyun nahi pehchana aapko?"
Viren had by now recognized Prem and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Kaise pehchante, hum miley thodi na hain pehle?"
Prem nodded his head and stood next to Virat and that's when he saw the ladies gaping at them. Oh oh!!
Virat walked to Jeevika, "Bhabhi, yeh hai Prem. Mere college ke dinon ka buddy..
Aur Prem, yeh hain meri sweet-si, eklauti Bhabhi.."
Prem smiled and folded his hands again to greet her, which Jeevika reciprocated with a smile.
He then turned to Manvi and smirked, "Aur inse, toh tum mil hi chuke ho, kyun? Meri Bhabhi ki paagal behna, Miss Manvi Rowdy Chaudhary.."
Manvi glared at Virat and turned her face away in annoyance.
Virat saw Prem looking at Heer and he walked up to her. He put an arm around her, "Aur yeh hai, meri behen, meri Heeriye."
Prem was stunned momentarily, "Behen?!!"
Virat laughed, "Haan. Meri cousin hai.. Lekin tu itna tensed kyun hai? Pasine choot rahein hai tere.."
Prem wiped his forehead and smiled, "Nahi nahi.. main kahan tensed hoon?"
Manvi followed the direction of Prem's gaze and saw it end on Heer.
Viren: "Achha chalo ab.. Meri biwi ne itna badhiya khana banaya hai.. Thanda ho jayega.. Chalo.."
Jeevika blushed and walked into the kitchen, followed by Heer and Manvi.
Manvi sat down next to Heer while she served everyone. Heer walked up to Prem with a plate of aloo puri. She bent forward to serve him. She kept on adding Puris to his plate, waiting for him to stop her. Confused, she looked up at him and saw him staring at her. She cleared her throat and stepped back and that did the trick. Prem came back to reality with a jerk and looked around embarrassed.
Manvi and Virat were fighting over who got to eat dahi bhallas first, while Viren was forcefully feeding a blushing Jeevika.
Virat snatched the bowl for the fourth time now, "Oye Chatori, samajh nahi aata? Pehle main khaunga.. Yeh mere favorite hain.."
Manvi grabbed the bowl and dipped her spoon into it, "Haan toh, kalko tum kahoge ki Katrina Kaif tumhari favourite hai, toh kya woh tumhari ho jayegi? Ainvayi!!"
Virat glared at her and pinched her on the arm, "Dekho dedh-futiya, keh raha hoon tumse, mujhe khaane do..varna.."
She hit his hand, "Varna kya, haan? Yeh dhamki-vamki kissi aur dena.. Main nahi darti tumse, samjhe? Chep kahin ke!"
Heer and Prem looked at them and were shocked to see them fighting over food like kids. Prem left out a laugh only to receive a sharp glare from Heer.
He quickly looked down into his plate and started eating.
Heer walked forward and stood behind Manvi. She gently tapped her shoulder and whispered something into her ear, while Virat looked at the pair suspiciously.
Manvi nodded her head and held out the bowl to Virat, "Viraaattt' Yeh lo.. khaa lo.. Vaise tumhe meri pasand-napasand ka bhi toh khayal rakhna chahiye na? Partner hoon tumhari main.. Lekin chodo, main bhi kisse expect kar rahi hoon.. Chodo.. Tum hi khaa lo pehle.. Yeh lo.."
Virat was shocked to see a smiling Manvi, Isse kya ho gaya, ek minute mein Bandit Queen se Mother India kaise ban gayi?
He looked into her puppy eyes, "Nahi Manvi.. Its okay. Tum hi kha lo.. Vaise bhi, yeh toh tumhare favorite hain na.. Main toh bass tumhe chidhane ke liye.."
And Manvi had already dipped her spoon into the bowl, served herself and ravished one serving. He glared at her, while she winked at Heer and muttered a thanks.
Virat swore under his breath and looked at Heer with a murderous look. Prem looked on and winked at Virat which irritated him further.
Heer returned to her seat and began eating. Prem however, had just bitten into the puri, when Manvi called out to him, "Premji?"
His head shot up, "Ji?"
Manvi smirked, "Woh aap Virat ke purane dost hain, hai na?"
Prem smiled and nodded. Virat however, looked at her suspiciously. After all, he knew his Bandariya better.
Manvi: "Aap dono ne kaafi time ek doosre ke saath bitaya hoga, nahi?"
Prem: "Haan.. lekin aap kyun pooch rahin hai?"
Manvi shifted in her seat and threw a glance at Virat, "Nahi who. Maan na padega, iss Chep ki sangat ka aapke upar bilkul bhi asar nahi pada!"
Virat spat his food out, while Prem gasped and looked at Virat.
Manvi smirked and was happy, "Kitna farq hai aap dono mein. Aapne, humari, Heer ki kitni help ki mushkil mein.. Aur ek yeh Chep hai, ki bass apni padi rehti hai isse.. Doosron ke naak mein dum karna toh koi isse seekhe.."
Virat was getting annoyed while Manvi seemed to be enjoying the situation. Jeevika exchanged worried looks with Viren and spoke up, "Mannu.. Bass bhi kar ab.. Aur khabardar jo mere dewar ke baare mein aisi baat ki toh. Kaan kheench loongi tere.. Samjhi?"
Manvi frowned and resumed eating while Virat smirked at her.
Prem and Virat were sitting in the verandah chatting, while Manvi and Heer were busy helping Jeevika clean up after lunch and Viren was busy on a phone call.
Prem: "Toh, Kya chal raha hai, in dinon?"
Virat: "Kuch nahi yaar. Bass abhi abhi Dadaji aur Bhai ko join kiya hai."
Prem shook his head, "Main kaam ki baat nahi kar raha, mere dost. Koi ladki vadki mili ya nahi?"
Virat smiled and almost blushed, Prem, however did not miss it.
Prem: "Are you serious? Tujhe pyaar ho gaya hai? Hai na?"
Virat nodded in negative, "Chup be. Kuch bhi bolta rehta hai."
Prem however kept pestering him for a while, "Kaun hai, bata na? Oh wait! Don't tell me, its Maya? God No!!"
Virat looked at Prem and gasped, "Oye nahi oye! Haan, aayi thi who dobara mujhse maafi maangne aur patch up karne. Aur main ulloo ki tarah uski baaton mein aa bhi gaya. Yahan tak ki engagement tak honewali thi humari."
Prem was shocked, "What? Engagement? Itna sab hone ke baad bhi? How could you, Virat? Tera dimaag toh thikane tha na?"
Virat smiled, "Dimaag toh tha, lekin shayad dil nahi tha.."
Prem shot him a confused glare.
Virat: "Lekin woh nahi badly thi. Maya aaj bhi sirf mere status aur meri ameeri se pyaar karti hai. She's still the same. Lekin Bhai ne mujhe iss baat ka ehsaas dilaya, ki maine Maya se kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahi tha. Mera asli pyaar toh koi aur hi hai. Maya ke saath toh bass ek attraction tha. Asli pyaar ke maiine toh maine kissi aur se seekhe hain. Jabse maine pyaar ko samjha hai, sirf ussi se pyaar kiya hai."
Prem smiled and patted his shoulder, "Maan gaye Dost! Tu toh sach mein aashiq ban gaya hai. Waise, naam kya hai uska?"
Virat was about to open his mouth when Manvi walked in and Virat swallowed his words, "Kaun? Kiska naam?"
Manvi looked at them with a quizzical expression on her face.
Prem was confused and looked at Virat.
Virat decided to irritate Manvi, "Ohh naam? Tu toh jaanta hai na usse? MAYA!!"
Manvi spun around on her heel and glared at Virat, "Kya? Kya kaha tumne?"
Virat smirked, "Haan. Maya. Woh Prem mujhe meri girlfriend ke baare mein pooch raha tha.. Waise Prem, I must tell you haan, Manvi ko Maya bohot pasand thi.. They were good friends, in fact."
Manvi walked to him and grabbed his shoulder, then realizing Prem's presence around, left him and stepped back.
She turned to Prem and gave one of her fake sugary smiles, "Haan.. haan.. bohot achhi friends thi, hum dono toh. Itni acchi ki agar mere saamne aa jaye, to baal kheench loon, mooh nochloon, uss chudail ka main!"
Virat bit his lower lip to hide his laughter, while Prem gasped and looked at him. Manvi waved her dupatta dramatically, "Jeeju aap dono ko garden mein bula rahein hain..Agar aapki baatein ho gayi ho, toh kripaya bahar aa jaayein.."
She stomped off, not before glaring once more at Virat. Virat finally let his laugh out and dragged a confused Prem out of the house.
Everyone had assembled in the garden. Manvi sat down next to Viren and declared that she and her Jeeju would be partners. Virat was annoyed, "Hey.. That's not fair. You don't get to decide that.."
Manvi smirked at him, "Oh hello. Kyun nahi? Ya phir tum abhi se dar gaye? Haan? Bolo.."
Virat was about to retaliate when Prem stepped in, "Ruko ruko.. Hum ek kaam karte hain. Lets not play cards."
Jeevika and Heer seemed to be relieved, while the others were annoyed.
Viren realized the confusion and whispered something into Heer's ear, to which she smiled and her eyes lit up.
Viren stood up in the middle of the circle to make an announcement, "Shaanti.. shaanti.. Actually, Prem is right. Lets not play cards. Cards toh buddhe logon ka game hai.. Mere paas kuch interesting hai.."
Jeevika arched her eyebrow, "Aisa kya aapke paas, Virenji?"
Viren sat down next to his wife, "Jeevika ji, hum ek song game khelenge.. Yaani ke har koi ek gaana gungunayega."
Manvi interrupted them, "Gaana matlab? Koi bhi gaana, huh?"
Heer smiled, "Jee nahi. Koi bhi gaana nahi.. Iskeliye bhi ek solution hai humare paas."
Viren: "Exactly, ab dekho, tum sab ne kabhi na kabhi apne future life partner ke baare mein socha hoga. Woh aisa ho, waisa ho.. Kuch toh..
Toh aaj hum, bass uss dil mein dabi hui baat ko bahar le aayenge.. Sabke saamne.."
Virat scratched his head, "Matlab humein exactly kya karna hoga, Bhai?"
Viren shook his head, "Matlab ki, mere Bhai, hum sab ko ek gaana gaana hoga.. Ek aisa gaana, jo aap apne mehbooba se relate kar sakte ho ya phir aankhein band karne par, aapke zehen mein sabse pehle jo gaana aaye, bass usse gaa dena chahiye.."
Virat smiled and stole a glance at Manvi. Heer pinched him, "Haan, aur agar aap na chahein, toh unka naam secret bhi rakh sakte hain.."
Prem's head shot up hearing that and he gazed lovingly at Heer.
Manvi rubbed her palms together, "Okay then.. Ready.. Yeh wala game toh main hi jeetke rahungi, kyun Dabbu?"
Dabbu twisted his face, "Haha.. Aapka muqabla Dabinder Singh Chaudhary se hai, Manvi Di!"
They all laughed out.
Viren decided to sing first and begin the game,
Viren:
Tum dil ki dhadkan mein rehte ho, rehte ho
Meri in saanson se kehte ho, kehte ho
Baahon mein aajao, sapnon mein khojaao..
Tum dil ki dhadkan mein rehte ho, rehte ho
Deewano sa haal hua, humko unse pyaar hua
Deewano sa haal hua, humko to unse pyaar hua
Dheere se voh paas aaye, chupke se izhaar hua
Ab naa kisise darna hai, sang jeena marna hai
Baahon mein aajao, sapnon mein khojaao
Tum dil ki dhadkan mein rehte ho, rehte ho..
Viren bent down on his knees and kissed Jeevika's palm. She blushed and hid her face on Manvi's shoulder.
Viren smiled and tapped her shoulder, "Ab aapki baari, biwi.."
Jeevika smiled and looked at him lovingly,
Jeevika:
Aaye ho meri zindagi mein, tum bahar banke
Mere dil mein yunhi rahna, tum pyar pyar ban ke
Ankhon mein tum base ho, sapne hazaar ban ke
Mere dil mein yunhi rahna, tum pyar pyar ban ke-
Mere saathi mere sajan, mere saath yun hi chalna
Badalega rang zamana, par tum nahi badalna
Meri mang yun hi bharna, taare hazaar ban ke
Mere dil mein yun hi rahna, tum pyar pyar ban ke..
Viren lovingly held her hand and gazed at her. Virat cleared his throat and everyone laughed again.
It was Dabbu's turn next, he scratched his head and looked at Viren,
"Jeeju, mujhe aankhein band karke bhi koi gaana nahi sunayi de raha hai.. Kya karoon?"
Manvi poked him, "Haan haan.. Itna saara khaana thoosne ke baad, gaana kaise sunayi dega! Aankhein band karne par toh sirf neend hi aayegi na!"
Dabbu shifted in his seat and looked at Viren again.
Viren: "Theek hai Dabbu.. Toh koi aisa gaana suna do, jo tumhare dil ke bohot kareeb ho.. Koi bhi.."
Dabbu pretended to rach his brains and smiled, "Yaad aaya.."
He threw one arm around Jeevika,
Phoolon ka taaron ka.. sabka kehna hai..
Ek hazaaron mein.. meri behna hai..
Then walked over to Manvi,
Saari umar.. humein sang rehna hai..
And then all three of them began singing in chorus. They hugged each other after the song finished.
Next it was Heer's turn. She looked around at everyone, embarrassed.
Manvi: "Kya baat hai, Heer? Tumhari shakal pe baara kyun baj gaye? Ek gaana hi toh gaana hai.."
Virat sensed her discomfort, "Oh come on Heeriye.. suna de na.. Meri izzat ka sawaal hai.."
Heer smiled, "Dekhiye, aap sab insist kar rahein hai, isliye gaa rahi hoon.. Main ek doctor hoon, yeh gaana vaana mujhse nahi hoga.."
She stood up and shut her eyes and started humming,
Heer:
Koi sacche khwab dikhakar..aankhon mein samaa jaata hai..
Yeh rishta.. Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai..
Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai.. Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai..
Tasveer banati rehti hoon..
Main tooti hui awaazo par..
Ek chehra dhoondhti rehti hoon..
Deewaron kabhi.. daarwaazon Par..
Ek chehra dhoondhti rehti hoon..
Deewaron kabhi darwaazon par..
Main apne paas nahin rehti..
Aur door se koi bulata hai..
Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai.. Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai..
Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai.. Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai..
She opened her eyes and saw everyone staring at her.. Embarrassed at being the centre of attention, she sat down and hung her head and heard everyone clap, the very next instant.
However, one person sat still and had his eyes on her all through her song.
It was his turn next.
He rested his elbow on Virat's shoulder,
Prem:
Saanwali si ek ladki..
Saanwali si ek ladki.. dhadkan jaise dil ki..
Dekhke jiske woh sapne.. Kahin woh main toh nahin..
Saanwali si ek ladki.. dhadkan jaise dil ki..
Dekhke jiske woh sapne.. Kahin woh main toh nahin..
Uski ghani zulfon mein.. Kisiki taqdeer hai
Uski haseen aankhon mein.. Kisiki Tasveer Hai
Aata nahin.. mujhko yaaken.. Par kahin woh main toh nahin..
Saanwali si ek ladki..
Virat nudged him a bit and Prem stopped singing. He looked around and Manvi wolf-whistled and everyone else clapped.
Viren: "Kya baat hai Prem! Kaun hai, yeh saanwali ladki haan?"
Prem looked straight at Heer and then turned to face Viren again, "Pata nahi.. ab tak mili hi nahi.."
Jeevika: "Mil jaayegi.. Mil jaayegi.."
Prem smiled and turned to Virat, "Mere Majnu, ab teri baari.. waise mil jaayegi se yaad aya.. Tu, woh jo painting banaya karta tha.. Wahi.. teri mehbooba wali.. jiski shakal tujhe dikhayi nahi deti thi.. Dikhi ya nahi?"
Virat looked at him and smiled, "Shayad!", leaving a confused Prem and a shocked Heer and Viren and laid down on the grass, crossing his legs.
He started humming, and saw an angelic face flash in front of his eyes. Well, she wasn't an angel really!!

Virat :
Kisi roz tumse mulaakat hogi
Meri jaan uss din, mere saath hogi..
Magar kab na jaane, yeh barsaat hogi..
Mera dil hai pyaasa..
Mera dil akela..
Zara tasveer se tu.. nikalke saamne aa
meri mehbooba..
Meri taqdeer hai tu.. machalke saamne aa
meri mehbooba
Meri Mehbooba.. Meri Mehbooba..
Meri Mehbooba.. Meri Mehbooba..
Meri Mehbooba..
He sat up straight and looked at each one of them,
Nahin yaad kabse, magar main hoon jabse..
Mere dil mein teri, mohabbat hai tabse..
Main shaayar hoon tera,
Tu meri ghazal hai,
Badi bekaraari mujhe aaj kal hai,Mujhe aaj kal hai..
Zara tasveer se tu.. nikalke saamne aa
meri mehbooba..
Meri taqdeer hai tu.. machalke saamne aa
meri mehbooba
Meri Mehbooba.. Meri Mehbooba..
Meri Mehbooba.. Meri Mehbooba..
Meri Mehbooba..
Jeevika, Manvi and Dabbu were gaping at him with their mouths wide open. Viren and Heer were stealing worried glances at each other, scared that Virat might spill out the truth, while Prem was smirking at his best friend and was the only one, thoroughly enjoying the performance.
Jeevika stood up and placed a hand on Virat's shoulder,
Jeevika:
Bhala Kaun Hai Vo Humein Bhi Bataao..
Heer went and sat down next to him,
Heer:
Ye Tasveer Uski Humein Bhi Dikhaao..
Prem joined the gang,
Prem:
Ye Kisse Sabhi Ko Sunaate Nahin Hain..
Magar Doston Se Chhupaate Nahin Hai..
Chhupaate Nahin Hai..
Viren:
Tere Darde Dil Ki Dava Hum Karenge..
Jeevika and Heer stood up and waved their dupattas at him,
Na Kuchh Kar Sake Toh
Dua Hum Karenge.
Na Kuchh Kar Sake Toh..
Dua Hum Karenge
Dua Hum Karenge!
Manvi had been observing her Partner carefully for the last few seconds. Finally, not being able to control herself, she too joined the lot,
Manvi:
Tadap Kar Aayegi Voh..
Tujhe Mil Jaayegi Voh..
Teri Mehbooba..Teri Mehbooba..
Teri Mehbooba..Teri Mehbooba..
Teri Mehbooba..Teri Mehbooba!!
Virat and Manvi both looked at each other, the very same instant. She felt his heated gaze on her, while he was lost in her innocent eyes once again.
Both, unaware of the fact, that their family members had finished clapping and cheering and were now looking at them with loving yet confused stares..
