Zindagi Ke Mausam - Part Fourteen


Haldi


It was finally here. The week of festivities had come. Everyone in the Jha household were ordered to take off from work for the week prior and this week as well. If someone were to see the Jha men were as they were, they'd probably faint in disbelief. Their wives and fiancs were ordering around their men respectively. No one made a sound or dared to make a sound. All they awaited was for the evening. When they'd finally catch a break. This morning was the haldi rasam. It was separated for men and women. Afterwards the men had nothing to do until the evening when the mehndhi was to take place. They needed that break so desparately.

NK: How in the damn hell do these women manage all this housework? And on top of that, they're working on all this event stuff. My damn head is spinning. I'm the groom, shouldn't I catch a break?

Akash: NK, my little brother we really don't appreciate these women enough.

Anurag: Son, the day you decided to get married was the last time you caught a break.

Deepak: You're right about that Bhaisaab.

The men laughed as they took a five-minute break before they headed to get ready for the haldi rasam.

NK was sitting on a small stool in a white undershirt and dhothi.

NK: You've got to be kidding me. I look ridiculous. What's going to happen now?

Devani: Chup! This is our culture. Now, women are going to come and put haldi on you. And when you're done we're going to pour milk over you.

NK: Uh...

Anurag: Stay shut son. And just go along with all this.

"I heard that girls have to go through with this stuff too"

NK looked to see where the familiar voice came from. It was Aarav. He was back.

NK: Saala, what -shit, sorry Mom !

Devani: Mhm, yes you better watch your mouth.

Aarav: How are you Aunty, Uncle?

Devani: Wonderful, just busy with preparations. Where is your family?

Aarav: Aunty, they'll be hearing on the day of the wedding and for the reception as well but currently won't be able to attend. My mother told me to send her sincerest apologies.

Devani: That is unfortunate. But, I can understand.

Aarav: Yes Aunty, now let's get this show on the road.

The festivities were happening in full force. While NK was having haldi applied over by men and women (mostly aunties he really wasn't really acquainted with), Lavanya had her close girl friends, Khushi, Payal and the aunties putting Haldi on her. Lavanya was wearing a white sarong tied as a halter behind her neck. Khushi had a light yellow shalwar kameez on with white lace embroidery. Her hair was plaited to the side.

Her smile was radiating happiness, as were her eyes with all her favorites around her.

Khushi: Can I have my turn now??? Please !!!!!

Lavanya: Khushi, I'm warning ---

Before Lavanya could finish her sentence, Khushi rubbed haldi all over Lavanya's face. Lavanya's mouth dropped open.

Khushi: Sorry - sorry! Don't kill me! Okay, I'm going to go to see NK now.

Lavanya: Just watch! Wait till it's your turn Khushi!!!

The women laughed and continued with the rasam. Khushi ran with haldi filled hands to the men's side. As she ran towards NK, she tripped falling forward when hard hands held her shoulder. She didn't have to look up to know whose hands they were. As he steadied her, she stared in to his eyes and looked at her hands, which were inches away from his crisp white shirt.

Khushi: Thank you.

Arnav just grumbled in response and as she moved away from him she bumped and fell in to the arms of another man. Unfortunately, this time, to gain her balance she had grabbed on to his collar. She opened her eyes and looked at the shirt, when she looked up at the face, she saw a familiar face.

Khushi: I'..I'm so sorry

Aarav: Well, hello to you too beautiful.

Khushi moved away from Aarav and looked at how the haldi had spoiled the collar of his white achgan.

Khushi: I'm so so so sorry Aaravji.

Aarav: It's fine. I'll change in to something else. I've got my bags upstairs as is. Don't you worry your beautiful self.

Khushi: I'm really sorry, again.

Aarav: It's really all right. What were you doing here anyway?

Khushi sheepishly looked towards NK and then again at her hands.

A devilish grin appeared on Aarav's face.

Aarav: If you're successful in lathering NK's face with haldi then I shall applaud you. Also, you can have anything you'd like. Just ask. All of us have been trying but he isn't letting anyone do anything!

Khushi: Stay true to your word then Aarav ji.

Khushi walked towards NK with a her hands covered in haldi.

Arnav (thoughts) : Aarav is going to win this bet. Foolish girl.

Khushi walked up to NK with her hands behind her back.

NK: Khushi you better not be trying anything!

Khushi: HOOO! Did I even do anything? I'm here to keep you safe from all these men with devious plans on how to put haldi on you and you think I'm going to do something? Me? Khushi Kumari Gupta?!

NK: Okay drama queen, now really, why are you here?

Khushi: I'm serious! To protect you! Lavanya couldn't be saved from the haldi craziness. So then I came to ensure your safety.

NK: Dialogues tho koyi tum se seekhe

Khushi: Oh my God!!!

NK: What?!

Khushi: What is Lavanya doing there?! You're not supposed to see her yet !

NK: Lavanya? Where? I don't --

As NK turned his face to spot his lady love, Khushi took full chance of the opportunity and rubbed the haldi all over his face and then wiped her hands off on his arms.

NK: KHUSHIII!

Khushi: I did it! I won!!!

All the men were looking at NK's astonished face, Khushi's succeful smile in surprise. She really did manage to do what they had been trying for half hour now.

Khushi: Sorry Bandar! And this is how you put haldi on NK gentlemen.

Khushi left the area and headed towards the women's area.

Arnav: What the -- !

Aarav: She actually did it. Well then.

NK: Don't tell me you placed a bet with Khushi that she'd be able to do this to me.

Aarav: Well, not a bet exactly but I didn't think she'd actually be able to --

NK: Don't underestimate Khushi, ever.

Awesome. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
