Chapter 5
We've been driving for the past 5 minutes and she hasn't even said a word, wow shocking!
As much as I would have liked her absence, her being quiet is annoying me, all she has been doing is texting, she is not a freakin' teenager..urghh
There, look at her smiling like a goof after that vibrate, Jesus Christ! Why is she smiling at the screen when I'm sitting right here!
I hope something happens to her device or the person who apparently is more important then me, stops replying.
_______________________
Keep me busy friend, otherwise this situation will get more awkward than it already is.
Why can't he stop looking at me, it's so darn uncomfortable
I know I'm gorgeous and all but dude give it a break! Baad mein dekhlena yaar
And this car ride seems to be going on forever, urghh I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out!
Oh my god, why did he stop replying, text dammit text.
Having no choice left I had to look in his direction and smile awkwardly. Very awkwardly
____________________
Phew! Looks like that other text freak finally got something better to do and stopped replying.
She looked at me and passed an awkward smile. Really'
"so how are the preparations going?" she asked going through her purse to look for something.
"I don't know, isn't that your job?" I said making sure she saw the lack of interest clearly.
She shook her head in disbelief Ha! She knows I'm right.
"oops wrong question I forgot yahan pe aik abla naari, I mean abla mard hai jiski shaadi zabardasti ho rahi hai, hai na?"
She's a lioness or what.
"tumhe usse kia? Tumhari company to chal rahi hai na, do waqt ki roti to mil rahi hai tumhe kaafi nahi hai kia?" I said with annoyance evident in my tone.
Why on earth is she talking about my wedding right now, like we don't do that enough in front of everyone else already.
"Jeez! Relax man"
"waise tumhe shaadiyaan karane ka bohat shok hai na khud kyun nahi ki abhi tak? Koi mila nahi kia?"
There! Tit for tat
"kia karein hum sab to AR ke malik nahi hai na, company chalani hai zindagi banani hai shaadi bhi karlenge aik din, jaldi kia hai"
She said with such ease as if it's a trivial matter, and I won't show it but im impressed that she cares about being independent and all.
"anyway you tell? All set for tomorrow?" she said again typing something on her device
"for what?" I said absentmindedly genuinely not realizing what she's talking about
"your roka'don't tell me tumhe yaad nahi tha" she said after staring at me for a good five minutes with saucer eyes.
"mujhe yaad nahi tha"
And honestly I really did forget about it.
"tsk tsk tsk, sharam karo kuch"
Sharam kis baat ki kapde to phene huye hain poore
"udhar bechari tumhari dulhan asmaano mein udh rahi hogi yaha dulha saab ko to short term memory loss hai"
She said with a sadistic expression as if I had committed some serious crime.
"relax its no big deal, tum to aise keh rahi ho jaise maine shaadi se inkaar kardiya ho"
I mean what's the big deal? It's just another useless and nonsensical rasam.
"tumse to baat karma hi-"
dammit the car stopped!
What now..urghh
Think Arnav think.
"let me check"
She raised an eyebrow as if doubting my capabilities.
I went out of the car to check what had happened, no I couldn't call Mohan or Aman at this moment she would think I'm too dependent.
izat ka sawal hai.
So I opened the bonnet and checked to find nothing there'except'
Except some steaming pollution coming out of it, I could smell something burning too. What the hell is going on.
I could feel the fume coming out of my ears and nose just when my eyes landed on her face. Oh that angelic face.
She was fanning herself with a file and kept looking at her wrist watch as small beads of sweat started to appear near her forehead glistening in the sun
Kuch to hua hai
Kuch hogaya hai
I involuntarily smiled, even the sun that normally bothered me seemed very happy, the pollution that irritated me seemed invisible. If something was visible it was her.
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
Her phone vibrated and she smiled seeing the message.
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
Do Chaar Din Se Lagta Hai Jaise
Sab Kuch Alag Hai
Sab Kuch Naya Hai
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
_____________________________
Arnav stepped out of the car in trying to pretend he knew what to do, bechara tsk tsk tsk. Doesn't even know that I know he doesn't know all this.
Trying to impress me? Lets see what you can do Arnav Singh Raizada.
So he went and opened the bonnet and the confusion was so obvious on his face he made the same face as a five year old does when he gets confused between the shapes.
Oh how so adorable he looks.
Wait. Did I just say adorable? Damn it! Mom was right I AM losing it
Cheezein Mein Rakh Ke
Bhool Jaati Hoon
His expressions were priceless and I was forced to smile regardless
Bekhayaali Mein Gungunati Hoon
Ab Akele Mein Muskuraati Hoon
Badli Hui Si Meri Ada Hai
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
____________
Ok I give up. I don't even know what is happening here and it keeps fuming'urghh what do I do!
I started pacing back and forth hoping she doesn't see my movement behind the bonnet.
Darn. She saw it. Aaj to kismet hi kharab hai.
She came out and threw her blazer inside the car and rolled her sleeves.
Oh man! what a beauty.
She told me to move aside and started checking the car.
Ok I'll admit it now, I'm hating myself for allowing her to act this way around me
Im Arnav Singh Raizada and no one tries to act smart with me! No one!
Urghh but it doesn't work with her its like some unknown force tries to stop me from thinking and acting rationally and I totally lose it.
Even Di was saying I m acting different these days. Mujhe khud nahi pata to unhe kia bataoon.
Pighla Pighla Hai Dil Mera Jab Se
Achcha Rehta Hain Mood Bhi Tab Se
Haske Milta Hoon Aaj Kal Sab Se
Khush Ho Gaya Hai Jo Bhi Mila Hai
Kuch To Hua Hai
Kuch Ho Gaya Hai
She fixed it and I don't even know what she did, I didn't even realize it was done until she waved her hand in front of me and I had to blink.
Jesus Christ! It's embarrassing! She caught me! Urghh I'm losing reputation here.
The car got fixed and she fixed it, well I helped too and it wasn't even that big of a deal so it's cool.
___________________
Finally! We reached the mall, thank god! Longest drive ever!
So now he is acting like he just recovered from coma or something
Kia problem is ki! Doctor ke paas kyun nahi jaata
____________________
Damn the car ride was short, mujhe pata bhi nahi chala aur shopping mall agaya
Urghh ab kia karoon.
Well with no other choice we entered the mall and soon enough we found Di and Lavanya.
Great.
"Chotey, Khushi tum log agaye, yeh dekho hum ne kuch sariyaan select ki hain kaisi hain?"
"nice choice Anjali"
She complimented seeing one of the saris Di had selected.
"oh hi Lavanya, how are you?"
She said as soon as Lavanya appeared from behind.
"I'm good Khushi how are you?"
The were acting as if they were friends and got separated in childhood. I rolled my eyes on instinct.
Time which seemed to have been struck and it felt like we came to this mall ages ago, apparently flew by according to Di.
We all went home together dropping Lavanya off at her house. Good. Cus she had literally chewed my brain off during the ride home and that wedding planner was holding her laughter, I could clearly see. She thinks she's all that. Chodoonga nahi usse to!
__________
24 hours later
"choteyyy choteeeyy!!!"
Di should start acting like a civilized human being for a change, maybe this circus won't seem that chaotic for once. But again I'm just being too demanding aren't I.
"kia hai Di"
"uff oh! Aaj ke din to khush hojao roka hai tumhara"
Exactly.
"aur yeh kia tum abhi tak tayar nahi huye? Jaldi karo ladki waale aatey hi honge"
Roka is about to start and she's not here yet. I hate people who are not punctual. And that woman acts all professional. What a mockery.
Di took out the sherwani that Khushi brought for me and shoved it into my hands and left smiling.
And did I tell you? She smiles more than all of us do'combined. It's not even funny anymore.
And so I got ready and I'll admit I did look dashing. I hope Khushi doesn't faint seeing me.
Now mission finding Khushi begins.

"Nani, mithai wale agaye?"
"Am I looking bootiphool?"
"Relax maasi you are looking gorgeous"
"Payal..woh mera button tooth gaya"
"abhi ayi Akash ji"
"Arre Anjali bitya idhar aaye"
"Khushiii! Nani ko dekhlo kia chahiye I'm a bit busy here"
Khushi'there she is.
I ran down the stairs and reached the end of the hall where I could see Khushi, her back was facing me and she was walking towards the door.
Oh.My.God.
She was wearing a maroon colored lehnga, the same maroon as mine. Copycat.
Her hair was left open and was only pinned by a few pins at the back of her head.
She was wearing half sleeves and those creamy white hands adorned with maroon embroidered bangles totally had me gazing.
I was walking towards her when she opened the front door and squealed in joy seeing the visitor. I couldn't see who it was but a sudden spark of hate could be felt through in my veins.
As I took a few more steps and that intruder entered my jaw literally dropped and eyes popped out.
"AMANNN"
"KHUSHIII"
And soon were followed by their nonsensical handshakes that Im guessing is a part of an old habit since the two lunatics seemed so perfect at it.
True I had called Aman to feel like I belong in this circus at this occasion but I had no idea he would be linked with this woman my woman in any way.
The two soon stopped whispering and looked at me as I came closer.
"Hi Arnav"
"I mean Arnav Singh Raizada"
I could see Aman bit his lip in order to hold back his laughter, as I continued to stay quiet and shoot daggers at them.
"shut up"
"Aman you know her?"
"Yeah she's your wedding planner isn't she?" he said acting as if he hadn't seen me witnessing their "great friendship"
I gave him looks which clearly spoke I am your boss not the other way around so stop acting smart.
"Congrats"
He came and hugged me.
"Thanks"
I said with the least amount of gratitude in my tone.
"AMAANNN" there came Di's voice and he sped in her direction leaving the two of us alone. Thank god.
"care to explain?"
"well, not that I have to explain but I pity you so here you go"
Really. Just spill it woman!
"he's my best friend since childhood, and I knew he works with you, and he knew that
I'm your wedding planner"
"and none of you bothered telling me?"
Aman was my well wisher, well that is what I thought. And Khushi'well she is just being Khushi at the moment.
Aman ka bacha. Dhokebaaz!
"since when do I owe you explanations?"
And once again I was speechless. -__-
Before I could say anything I saw Di and Aman coming in our direction.
"Isne tumhe bohat tang kia hua hai na, har waqt kaam kaam kaaam" she said cupping his cheek and giving me "those" looks.
Seriously, she's MY sister but I feel like a stranger whenever Aman comes home.
Aman always finds Di gorgeous and all but Di instantly made him her brother the first time they met and had tied rakhi on his hand on raksha bandhan. And that too before me. Wow. Talk about injustice.
She thinks Aman has proved to be a better brother than me and gave strict instructions to not make his life hell at work.
Like she hasn't already made mine at home.
Oh look the infamous "ladki wale" are here
So our roka was done and Khushi seemed very happy. Jaise uski shaadi ho rahi ho.
What the.
All lights gone. I had personally made sure there were no such problems. See this is what you get when you live in India, but Di will never understand and dragged me here finally.
One blinding spotlight on Khushi another one on Aman
What.the.hell
What are they doing.
Why is Aman dressed exactly like me and Khushi like Lavanya?
Freakin' copy cats
____________
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Exactly a week from now met the two souls Arnav and Lavanya to tie in the sacred bond of marriage.
____________
So they mimicked the whole scene like it actually was when we went to ask for Lavanya's hand. Khushi pretending to be Lavanya, how cute she looks while batting her eye lashes.
And Aman is acting all grumpy. And Di, well Di is being Di. She's a one piece after all.
Wait was I really acting that grumpy the other day? I bet not! This Aman likes to exaggerate any way and it's not like he can become ASR just by wearing the same clothes as me. Silly boy.
___________
The two fell in love and the celebrations began.
The bond had been created not between two souls but two families
__________
Oh my god. Who the hell is narrating this mess up of my life? and who even said I love Lavanya? its so damn irritating and Lavanya is blushing as if someone just said I love you to her. Even if they did what's to blush about. These feminine traits, they don't even teach the logic behind womanly attributes at Harvard. Maybe cus there is isn't one.
So they fast forwarded the story and came to the present day, which is my roka sadly.
What the.
Did Khushi and Aman just exchange rings?
Damn you Aman.
Wait a sec. Phew they were just pretending to be and Lavanya.
As soon as they exchanged rings the rose petals exploded I don't know from where and some weird music started playing and Di and Aman hugged.
Seriously Di control your emotions, we have found your lost brother.
Mahi Ve
That's The Way
Mahi Ve.
Khushi and Aman broke into a similar dance and slowly moved to the beat.
Tere Maathe Jhumar Dhamke
Tere Kano Baali Chamke
Hai Re
Mahi Ve
Aman did all the gestures while Khushi just swayed gracefully. Her silky hair falling everywhere making it difficult for me to stand stable.
Tere Haatho Kangna Khanke
Tere Pairo Payal Chanke
Hai Re
Mahi Ve
Now he was dancing with Di.
Unbelievable.
Naino Se Bole Rabba Rabba
Amrut Ghole Rabba Rabba
Tu Soniye
Jind Mahi Ve
Soni Soni
Aja Mahi Ve
Everybody Sing
Soni Soni
Aja Mahi Ve
Everybody Sing
Soni Soni
Aja Mahi Ve
Now everyone else started dancing too in their respective places and surprisingly they all the knew the steps.
I feel like the odd one now. Well don't I always.
That's The Way
Mahi Ve
O Teri Ankhein Kaali Kaali
Tera Gora Gora Mukhda
Hai Re
Mahi Ve
Now he's singing it to Lavanya who is also dancing with the maniacs.
Teri Rangat Jaise Sona
Tu Chaand Ka Jaise Mukhda
Hai Re
Mahi Ve
Gaal Gulabi
Rabba Rabba
He danced with Di
Chaal Sharabi
Rabba Rabba
He danced with Khushi
Dil Ki Kharabi
Rabba Rabba
He danced with Lavanya
Tu Soniye
Jind Mahi Ve
Soni Soni
Aja Mahi Ve
Aman and the ladies danced in sync. Kill me before my eyes jump out of their sockets.
Everybody Sing
Soni Soni
Aja Mahi Ve
And their mini act ended. Thank God!
The music end was still playing and they left to get changed walking actually dancing towards the exit.
Did she just wink at me?
