Chapter Five - Part 2
All the guys had their eyes popped out and the girls were burning with jealousy when Khushi, Lavanya and Payal entered the party hall. Every pair of eyes in the hall were on them. When NK saw them he came towards them -
NK: Wow ... You Girls look stunning!
Lavanya: (Blushing) Thank you!
Khushi & Payal: Thanks!
NK: Khushi how was your flight? I am sorry I could not accompany La to receive you at the airport!
Khushi: It's ok NK! And the flight ... well let's not talk about it!
Lavanya: Oh ya you told me the same! What happened Khush?
Khushi did not want to think or talk about Arnav now! Even though she was busy with Lavanya and Payal all day; Arnav's thoughts kept coming in her mind. She wanted a break from it and she knew this party would keep her mind away from Arnav.
Khushi: Don't worry ... Nothing important! I will tell you later! Let's just enjoy the party now!
NK: Alright then let's go in! I need to introduce to you three to my cousins.
Lavanya: Ok let's go!
Even though Khushi said nothing important happened Lavanya was not satisfied with her reply. She knew Khushi does not get disturbed with pity issues and she had noticed Khushi since she was not herself all day. She could sense something was wrong but wanted to wait till Khushi tells her. She decided she will talk to her after the party.
NK introduced the three girls to his cousins and friends, but he was searching for someone -
NK: Oh ho! Where did he disappear?
Lavanya: Whom are you searching for?
NK: I am searching for my cousin who is also my best friend! God knows where he went!
Payal: Relax Jiju! Is he a small kid?
NK: Nooo! He is a business man! I stay with him and his family in Sydney! But Payal why did you ask whether he is a kid?
Payal: Well it looked like it! Usually people get worried like this only for kids when they get lost in the crowd!
And she giggled!
NK: Oh ... Well he is not much of a socialiser! So I got worried whether he left the party! I wanted him to be by my side during the wedding! He is the only cousin I am closed to in my family!
Lavanya: Oh is this the same cousin you talk about always and who is always busy with work!
NK: Ya it's him!
Khushi: Wait a second! La haven't you met this cousin ever?
Lavanya: No I haven't! I have only gone to his house once with NK! But at that time only NK's Buaji and Dadi were there at home!
Khushi: Oh ok!
NK: Well I will go find him! He must be around! You three wait here ... I will bring him!
Lavanya: Ok!
NK left to find his cousin and the girls started talking to their friends and cousins who were around.
NK saw a figure standing at the swimming pool area which was connected to the hall when he came there searching. He realised that it was his cousin.
NK: Here you are! I searched the entire hall for you!
Cousin: You always search for me at the wrong place!
NK: Ya Ya! If I always search for you at the wrong place then I would not have come here right! Ok forget about all this and come with me! You have to meet Lavanya! Come on let's go!
He dragged his cousin out the pool side area and walked towards the girls! When he saw them he called out -
NK: Lavanya! Meet Nannav!
Lavanya: Nannav???
NK: Ooops!!! Arnav ... Arnav Singh Raizada!
Lavanya: It's finally good to meet you Arnav!
Arnav: It's good to meet you too Lavanya!
NK: Nannav meet Payal and ... Arre where did Khushi go?
"I am here NK" came Khushi's voice from behind.
When NK and Arnav turned back, time stopped for two people ' Arnav and Khushi. Both were shocked to see each other and could not even utter a word. Both broke from their trance when they heard NK's voice -
NK: Khushi meet Nannav ... I mean Arnav, my cousin! And Nannav meet Khushi, Lavanya's best friend.
Payal: Jiju why do you call him Nannav?
NK: Well that is what I used to call him when we were kids! And now I am used to it!
Payal: Oh ok!
NK: Arre why are you both so quite?
Arnav: Unbelievable!
And he walked away from there!
NK: Nannav ... mere bhai! What happened to him? I will go and check on him!
NK was completely confused with Arnav's behaviour and so he followed him.
Khushi was still in a state of shock! She did not expect to see Arnav ever and now he turned out to be NK's cousin! She just muttered "Hey Devi Maiya"
Lavanya and Payal came to Khushi -
Lavanya: What happened Khush? You look disturbed?
Khushi told Lavanya and Payal about everything that happened at the airport and in the flight.
Lavanya: Hmmm ... The first few meetings did not go well! But why are you so worried about it? Forget about it!
Khushi: Forget it??? How can I forget it La? He was so rude and arrogant to me! I can't believe you are telling me to forget it ... Actually I can't believe he is NK's cousins! How can two brothers be so different???
Payal: Oh ho! Di chodo na ye sab! Let's enjoy the party! Its Lavanya di's wedding party! Come on now smile ... Please Di!
Lavanya: Ya Khush ... smile na! For me ... Please!!!
After hearing Lavanya's and Payal's pleas, she could not stop herself from smiling.
Lavanya: Great! Come on let's go and meet our cousins and friends!
At the pool side, Arnav had also told NK about all that happened.
NK: Oh ho Nannav! For such a small issue you are behaving like this! I have never seen you so irritated for such issues before!
Arnav: I don't know NK ... When I see that girl I just get irritated!
NK: That girl??? Do you even know who she really is haan? She owns the Gupta Event Management Company along with her brother in Sydney!
Arnav: WHAT??? She is Jay Gupta's sister?
NK: Yes and the youngest daughter of Mr Shashi Gupta!
Arnav: Unbelievable!
NK: Stop muttering unbelievable! It's my wedding party and I don't want to see you in such a mood! So cheer up and come to the hall with me!
Arnav: What the!
NK: Look I have had enough with your "what the" and "unbelievable". So come on let's go!
Both of them came towards the hall and started interacting with their cousins and friends.
Even though both Khushi and Arnav tried to forget about each other and all that happened they could not do so. But later both of them decided to ignore each other and be happy for NK and Lavanya.
