From the author's desk: Rather than being one long update, I decided that it can be two short updates on the same day! just to ease you all the wait for Kushi's entry- Pakka promise - next update will have kushi in it!
But you all might have to wait for mid next week for the update- I will be travelling for the next 5 days and might get busy with the festival thingy! thanks for your patience!

Chapter 2- Lovebirds in despair

Part 4- Warning Signs

As all the three dashed down from the first floor, Akaash jumping steps, while Anjali and Nk was following him close behind, Anjali broke into laughter

"What madness is this?" NK commented as he went past her

"you mean Payal's madness or mine?" Anjali asked in between her laughter

"we are going to find out Payal's but why are you laughing now?" he asked gasping for breath

"We are going to get either of the two things tomorrow-" Anjali pondered as she ran behind her brothers clutching her Icecream bucket still in her hands "either Dadi will have a heart attack or Nani is going to do an express wedding for Akaash and Payal the first thing in the morning"

"Or Dadi is going to pronounce no entry to Payal now- and Akaash is going to stay a bachelor for this life" NK joined in as they laughed out loud with Akaash's profane words reaching them

****

Arnav came out of the master kitchen holding a brown paper bag with sugar doughnuts in it. He had initially checked the kitchen counter in the first floor and having found nothing, he had come down to the master kitchen in the ground floor.

The cooks had been putting away what ever was left out and all they could manage to find decent enough to eat - after Arnav ordered them not to cook anything for him due to lateness of the hour - was the doughnuts and the chocolate cake ordered for the party in the evening. He had enough of the cake in the evening and so had settled for the doughnuts- though it was too sweetish- Anjali's choice!

He was surprised when he heard the knock on the door and gestured the approaching servant that he would get it. He was surprised to see an agitated Payal in her night dress - who was followed by an arguing automan who was followed by the security.

"Payal" Arnav exclaimed " to what do we owe this surprise?"

"Arnav- pay this fellow" Payal said as she stepped

"50 RS saab" the man announced

"What 50 RS? you told 30 when I got in... after seeing the house are you asking more?"

"Its late in the night madam"

"Late? you call 9.00 late?" she asked as Arnav gave her his brown bag to hold and reached for his wallet in his pocket. He gave the man a 100 Rs note

"I dont have change Sir"

"Its ok- keep it" he said as he took back his paper bag "Security, accompany him to the gates"

"What? why are you paying him double the amount he asked?" Payal asked him as he took her to the family lounge.

"I dont have change either Payal- besides, I am relieved that he brought you here safe- Did you run away from your house in a night dress?"

Payal didnt get to answer that as they were distracted by the sound of others reaching the room.

"Payal" Akaash called out to her as he reached the ground floor, out of breath with equally out of breath Anjali and NK on his heels

"Wait till Dadi sees you in this Payal" Anjali giggled inbetween her breaths as she clutched her stitches.

"Is this the usual visit hours for you Payal? Akaash never told us" Nk joined the gang teasing

Akaash was but not perturbed by the teasing this time. He went towards Payal.

"What happened? you look worried"

"Akaash, I cant stay there anymore"

For the first time, the other three saw Payal taking a worried tone to Akaash, it was so different to see her not bullying him as usual that all the mood to rag the two was instantly lost.

"What happened? what did they do?" Akaash asked in whisper

"I have told you about my mother's kitty party friend? Mrs. Ganga Khatri? - Such a cow she is..Her family visited today evening- with their US returned son- Vinod- You know that guy- Vinod Khatri- you have met him also once- he is such a snub- idiot- he behaves as if he is the president of USA- I hate him Akaash- My Parents have finalised him for me"

"What?" Akaash gasped

"So What?" Arnav asked

Payal looked at Arnav bewildered

"You tell him that you are not interested! "

"No use Arnav" Payal told him dejectedly " I told him that I love someone else and he says that he knows it and he is ok with it"

"Payal, cool down, you dont have to be worried so much about this- they cant get you married to that guy without your consent"

"I know that- But"

"Payal, just few minutes back I was telling Akaash that would take a lot to break your resolve- Dont prove me wrong" Arnav smiled at her

"You told him that?" Payal asked Arnav looking wide at him as Arnav nodded his affirmation.

"Thanks for that- but you dont know the real problem yet- My parents asked me take him around and show the garden - Thats when I told him about Akaash and he said he didnt care- then that - rascal misbehaved with me and and"

"What did he do?" Akaash asked tensed

"The question should be what did you do I suppose" Arnav remarked.

"I cant believe your brother understands me better than you Akaash!" Payal glared at him

"No dont mistake him- when a man is in love, he tends to get overprotective of his girl, often leading him to forget that the girl would be able to handle the situation well" Arnav told her as Akaash looked at him thanking silently but it soon changed into apologetic one as Payal replied back to Arnav

"Personal experience Arnav? Do you feel the same about Sheetal too?" Payal asked as Anjali and NK bit back smiles and Arnav stared at Akaash for telling Payal about Sheetal

"Hey leave that- thats another big topic- we will do justice to it someother time- tell us what you did" Nk prompted her again

Payal smiled wickedly

"I kicked him on his groin" Payal admitted proudly

"Wow! Payal I am so proud of you" Anjali came forward hugging her as the other three men stood staring at her with shocked smirks

"Hey Happy birthday sweet heart- I couldnt call you- My parents have taken away my mobile from me- how did the party go?"

"leave that- tell us what was the real problem is now" Arnav asked Payal again - "you seem to have managed the issue quiet well"

"My parents reprimanded me for hurting him- can you believe that? They were perfectly ok with him groping me or trying to kiss me forcefully - but they told me off in front of that cow and her useless husband that what I did was wrong- after they left- I had a huge argument with my mother and - she locked me in my room"

"That is really serious! But how did you come here?" Nk asked her

"I removed the bathroom window panes and jumped out... "

But before anyone could comment on her escapade, a resounding voice echo the hall

"Payal!"

Everyone turned to look at Dadi who was looking at Payal with murderous glare

"How dare you come here again? "

"Dadiji-I-" Payal started to say but Dadi put her hand up to stop her

"Why have you come here again? in that dress? coming here at odd times in inappropriate seducing clothes- Dont you know when you are not welcome anymore- you are supposed to stay out?

"Dadi, calm down She just came to wish Anjali" Arnav told suddenly

"yeah, Happy birthday Anjali dear" Payal told instantly picking up the clue

"Thanks Payal " Anjali jelled along "Dadi, I only told her that if she doesnt come and wish me, I wont talk to her at all- "

"Enough of this Bakwas- your relationship with this house is already broken- get out of here this instant"

"How is my relationship broken? How is it my fault if my parents behaved like that- I am still in love with Akaash and he is too" Payal told Dadi is a quiet voice

But Dadi was adamant- she behaved as if Payal's point was not uttered at all. They all knew it was not wise to argue with Dadi when she was in rage-

"This is not the time to argue Payal- Come I will drop you home" Arnav told her quickly

"But I-"

"I need to talk to you " Arnav told her quickly "come along"

"Why should you drop her? if she came here on her own, she can go back on her own as well"

"Dadi its very late now- besides its raining outside, Its only prudent that I drop her" Arnav told her not waiting for her answer turned towards the door.

"Arnav is right" Nani called out from behind them, she had come to check what the commotion was all about. "Its not safe to send her alone at this hour"

"I will come with you both" Akaash told them as Payal took his hand and walked behind Arnav.

They saw their head servant Ramu Kaaka by the door, he had been doing his routine checks to lock the doors before he retired for the day.

"Leave the door open Ramu Kaaka, we are going out for a while " Arnav called out as he checked if he had his car keys in his pocket.

They all stopped abruptly by the main door as they heard weird shouting noises from the other side of the door.

"Who is that? It seems like our security is arguing with some one" Akaash commented as Ramu Kaaka ventured to open the door.

Who is it by the door? You all know dont you? practice patience!
