"Baat nahi karo tum mujhse..." Rohail gave a grumpy look to Armaan... "Phokat mein dimagh kharab kiya hua hai!!" They both were in the plane at about 7 in the morning... Rohail was admant to complete his sleep whereas Armaan wasn't letting him as he never feel falling asleep in planes...
"Oho!!! Beta apna kaam hota hai to bhai bhai!! Aur ab maine zara sa saath ane ko kya bol diya to ankhein dikha rahe ho??" Armaan frowned..
"Mujhe pata tha!! Tum flight mein kabhi nahi sote aur mujhe bhi nahi sone doge... Yeh pakro aur mujhe baksho!!" Rohail handed him a book taking it out from Armaan's laptop bag... He always carries a book with himself and everybody close to him knew this...
"Huh!! Chalo karlo tum apni neend poori..." Armaan shook his head while opening the book... It was some philosophy book which has became Armaan's centre of reading these days...
"Haan!! ab philosophy he padho tum!!! jis pe kabhi tumne amal nahi karna hai!!" Rohail rolled his eyes... "Chup kar jao!! Ab neend nahi a rahi??" Armaan retorted back...
...
"Piya!!" Vikas almost jumped over her as he was trying to wake her up since long and she was in no mood to get up...
"Ahhh..." She freaked out... "Hatto kya kar rahe ho tum???"
"Morning SunShine!!" he gave her a side loop smile... "Guess what?? we are not in Mauritius yet!!"
"Pata hai mujhe bhi..." She pouted...
"To phir itni deir tak kis khushi mein so rahi ho??? Chalo naashta do mujhe..." He got up passing a frown to her...
"You know what?? Yeh ginti k kuch din hain tumhare pass... tumhe in mein apni nani, mami, behn aur jitne bhi baaki raishte hain... in sab k haath ka bana kuch khana chahiye jo tum miss karte ho... Tum bore nahi hue mere haath ka khana kha kha ke??" She was extra sweet...
"Wese to main tumse bhi kaafi bore hogaya hun!! so... shall enjoy this small amount of time with some healthy flirting?? what say??" He chuckled...
"I'll kill you!!!" She threw her pillow over him and got up to take his class properly...
...
"Haan!! to kahan jaana hai??" Rohail asked while stretching his arms in the air... They were out of the AirPort... "Balke aisa kyun nahi karte?? tum apne kaam karo.. main Abay chachoo k ghar chala jaata hun!!" Rohail chirped...
"Chup bay!! Tujhe araam karwane nahi laaya mein.." Armaan frowned... "Chalo.." He said while making his way out..
"Kahan nachaega yaar yeh mujhe..." Rohail cried while following him...
"Tumhare hone wale sasural!! Zara wahan bhi naach k dikhado tum... unhe bhi pata chale cheez kya ho!!" Armaan knew how to make him straight...
"Kya maksad hai??" Rohail scowled...
"Wahan nachaye gii naa wo mehngi tareen kharcheeli ladki!! Tumhara diwala nahi nikalwaya ussne to naam badal dena mera!!" Armaan warned...
"Huh!! Pata nahi kaunsi duniya mein gayab hai wo..." Rohail blabbered sarcactically while shaking his head and moved along with Armaan...
"Ouch!!! kahan gayab hai and all... ahan!!" Armaan smirked amiling at Rohail...
"Yeh hum kahan ja rahe hain??" Rohail frowned after few minutes as Armaan asked the cab driver to drop them near a hotel...
"Tumhe waqai sasuraal jaana hai??" Armaan arched his eyebrow making him quiet...
It was too hot outside which made Rohail even more irritated... "Acha khaasa office mein betha kaam kar raha hota!!" He for the first time missed his office like hell...
"Chalo ajao!!" Armaan got out of the car and Rohail just followed him.."Ufff!!!" Rohail sighed and started walking...
"Wahan kahan ja rahe ho??" Armaan narrowed his eyes as Rohail started walking to a different direction...
"Hotel!!" Rohail stretched his lips... "Hum yahan utre hain coz we need to drop our stuff here... remember???" Rohail rolled his eyes poiting at the only suit bag he had in his hands in which his suit was there which he was going to where at night...
"Nope!!!" Armaan too stretched his lips... "I think you can carry this... anddd hum wahan nahi..." He pointed at the hotel... "Wahan ja rahe hain!!" He pointed at a huge glass building next to the hotel...
"Arghhh..." Rohail gritted his teeth...
As soon as they both got inside, he made his way towards the coridoor and Rohail quietly followed him, what he was doing since morning... "Thank God! you are here!!" A person on the second desk almost jumped up with excitement seeing Armaan... "Agar ajj yeh signature nahi hote naa... to meri class lag jaani thi!!" The man blurted out...
"Itni tension kis baat ki hai yaar??? chill!!" Armaan smiled at him whereas Rohail without a word sat down taking a chair... "Model ready hai??" Armaan asked while going through the papers...
"Haan! ready hai lekin.. ek jagah problem a rahi hai!! wo meri samajh se bahar hai!!" The man pressed his lips together...
"Ahan!! Isko do yeh dekh ley ga." Armaan pointed at Rohail...
"Main kya matlab?? main kya dekh lunga hain???" Rohail freaked out..
"Mera bhai hai!! kabhi kabhar dore parr jatay hain!!" Armaan smiled on seeing the confused look on Nishant's face...
"Hello Sir!!" Nishant greeted Rohail and openeing his laptop, opened the file and kept infront of Rohail.."Main samjhata hun!!" He started explaning the model to Rohail which after a minute of ignorance became damn interesting ...
"Rohail!! isko drop box mein bhi daal dena!! main fursat se kal phir dekh lunga!!" Armaan guided Rohail still with his eyes on the papers...
"Sir phir mein ata hun!! Aapp dekh lijye jo bhi hai!!" Nishant excused and went out of the room...
"Wow!! its damn interesting yaar!!" Rohail commented...
"Hehehe!!" Armaan shook his head at him...
"Aurr yeh clause bhi sahi hai!! okay!!" Armaan blabbered reading out the last line and then keeping the file on the desk, took out his pen and signed it!!
"So, Miss Verma!!" One of the channal assisitant associated with the whole event came up to Nidhi who was sitting down on the sofa waiting for her script... "Now its very confidential you see..." He explained...
"Oh!! Akhbaar mein chapwa dun??" Nidhi became hell sarcastic as she was waiting since long and her patience level was giving up... "Itni akal mujh mein bhi hai k kya confidential hai aur kya nahi..." She snored...
"Okay Sorry!! i know you have waited long... but still..." He tried to excuse...
"Acha ab baatein nahi!! kaam pe ao.." An Irritated Nidhi almost snatched away the papers from him.,..
"This is the list of nominations... in mein se koi bhi jeeta hai, you have to ask these number of questions!! I won't tell you about how to interact warna i know mere saath kya hoga!!" The man already guessed how angry she was...
"Hmmm..." Nidhi nodded in a yes while going through the list of nominations and rolled her eyes on seing Singhaniya's name there... Then she turned to look at he list of question which were 5 altogather...
"Bus yeh paanch?? thats all??" She was surprised...
"It will add points to your work agar unhun ne yeh saare bhi answer kar diye to.. Award function mein aur kya hoga?? bus stage pe ek chota sa interaction!! so called interview!!" He raised his shoulders carelessly...
"But i can add few Right?? if they wish to answer??" Nidhi further asked...
"Haaan!! But inn mein se koi bhi jeete iss k chances bohat kum hain!!" He bit his lower lip.,... "Here is another list... please make sure you ask atleast atleast 10 question out of it if he wins and comes to receive the award!!" He almost pleaded...
"Yeh kaun mahashe hain???" Nidhi arched her eyebrows as she saw whole two pages of questions...
"The last and final nomination!! Jinhun ne khudse iss baat ko abhi tak disclose nahi kiya and so no one knows about him!! Mr Armaan Mallik!!" The man spoke out the name making Nidhi hung her mouth...
"Arr... maan... Mallik!!! Yeh nominated hai!!!" Nidhi chewed her words almost glaring at the boy...
"Haan... why shouldn't he be?? Iss saal ka sab se bada project le gaya!! wo alag baat hai k ab usse Abhimanyu Modi handle kar raha hai.. uske ilaawa he himself is a Big Name!! aur phir ofcourse the recent additions in his CV " He refered about the new course Nidhi, Armaan and Sid has just done... "Infact he has almost 99% chances of winning aurrr i just hope he comes.." He gave a worried expression...
"Iske liye itni lumbi list kyun??" Nidhi asked after coming out of the shock... slowly and gradually her temper was raising now...
"Because he has never ever interacted with the media... plus i am gona give all the spicy news about him and here you have to showcase your talent.." He smirked...
"Armaan k bache!! You think you played well right???? Tum ao to sahi! Tumhe exploit nahi kiya to mera bhi naam Nidhi nahi... Loan loan kar rahe thai naa!! Ab dekho main yahan se kitne paise banati hun!!" Nidhi gritted her teeth mentally cursing him...
"How about a proper Live chat with him??? Exclusive!!" Nidhi chuckled..
"Are you mad?? Wo inn sawalon k bhi jawab de de bohat hai!! Aur humay to conform bhi nahi hai k wo ayega bhi k nahi!!" The Assisstant frowned...
"Aenge to usske ache bhi!!" Nidhi smirked... "Just give me all the spices and see what i am gona do!!" Nidhi was all set to play her side of the game!!
...
After firing the Auditor, Rahul just out of curiosity searched the main computer to see if he gets anything but here the whole world turned upside down... Soon Abhi, Billy, Arjun all were there sweating... A solid fraud was made to the accounts that if the external auditor would have checked, Billy would have been in jail then, plus the company must have got ceased!!
"Means he knew it!!! but how??" Billy rubbed his forehead...
"Arre uncle bach gaye hum time pe!!" Abhi asked Billy to see the good side...
"Beta! humay time mil gaya hai lekin bache hum phir bhi nahi hain!! itni jaldi, dobara yeh sab nahi ho sakta hai!! Aur staff mein baat phel gayi to market mein nikalne mein ek minute nahi lagaygaa issko..." Billy showed the other side...
"Ek minute!! Agar kisi tarah se Armaan ko yeh baat pata chal bhi gayi thii... to batana chahiye tha na ussko humay!! Aur wese bhi, auditor ko fire karne k baad kal ussne yeh computer use kiya tha!! to usko to pata he hoga naa?? phir kyun nahi bataya ussne??" Arjun put forward a valid question...
"Yeh ladka!!" Billy panicked... "Phone karta hun isse..."
"Bhaiya kya kar rahe ho??? usko ane do... phir baat karte hain!! aise phone pe... mujhe nahi lagta hai k sahi hai!!" Arjun stopped Billy...
...
"Kuch hua tumse??" Armaan inquired Rohail when done with signing papers...
"Kahan hoga?? abhi to samajh he raha hun!! kya model hai!! matlab ek he jhatke mein saara kaam khatam!! Auditor higher karne ki zaroorat he nahi hai management ko! Oppar se jo external ayega wo bhi soch mein parr jaye!!! He is a genius!!" Rohail praised Nishant...
"Hehehe!" Armaan giggled folding his arms togather and sat down infront of Rohail taking a chair...
"Acha isse zara choro.. yeh itni asaani se samajh mein nahi ane wala hai tumhe... aur meri baat suno!!" Armaan pressed his lips togather... "Nishant ne values put in karne k ilaawaa aur koi teer nahi maara hai iss model mein!! oppar se uss par bhi wo phass gaya jo problem abhi wo bata raha hai!!"
"Oh!!! Phir to purchase kiya hoga tum logon ne... Would have cost you guys alot!!" Rohail bit his upper lip...
"Yeh model!! Bohat mehnat time laga k mera aur Sid ka karnama hai!!" He announced leaving Rohail stunned...
"What!!!??" He jumped up...
"Yess!!" Armaan smiled calmly... "Aurrr filhaal isko itna ready nahi kiya hai humne k market mein bechne lagg jaen... Lekin humari company ko iss waqt isski zaroorat hai!!" And with this Armaan broke the news about the fraud to Rohail...
"Lekin tumhe kese pata chala??" Rohail narrowed his eyes...
"See... Singhaniya ki dushmani direct mujhse hai!! He is just vending it out on company playing cheap tricks... Jab Abhi ne mujhe bataya k sab baatein leak ho rahi hain bahar tab mera pehla shuk Singhaniya par gaya... lekin main mumbai mein tha nahi aurrr i didn't wanted anyone to know k Singhaniya k asal problem kya hai!! mind you.. yeh baat tumhare ilaawa kisi ko nahi pata lagni chahiye.." Armaan warned him...
"Arre but..." Rohail was still not getting the auditor thing...
"Tum teenow k jhagre wali news... maine market mein leak karwai thii!!" He further informed...
"Tum pagal to nahi ho gaye??" Rohail freaked out...
"Mein jaanta tha isse share price kum ho jayegii!! Mere pass itne paise nahi thai k uss mein invest karta aur isliye maine tum donwo ko kaha tha k shares khareed lo!! Jiske liye ThankYou!! Bagair kisi sawal k tum donow ke khareed liye.." He smiled...
"what about company's reputation??? share price ka kum hona... its big loss!! Tumhe idea bhi hai logon ne shares kitni tezzi se bache hain??" Rohail widen his eyes..
"Zahir hai... no one wants to be in loss but... Don't worry!! kal subha tak sab set ho jayega!! Aur jinhun ne bache hain!! asal loss unko hone wala hai!!" He smirked...
"Khair Phir kal jab main office aya to wahan tumhare pyaare auditor kaa rung urr gaya!! uski Singhaniya k saath ishaara baazi Shilpa ne dekhi.. Aur ussne mujhe iss baare mein bataya!! And i got k chakkar kya tha!!" He linked up everything in short...
"Kyunki tumhari adat hai office mein round leyte rehne kii... tum ek jagah beth k kaam karte he nahi ho!! Tumne aj nahi to kal pakka usko pakar leyna tha!" Rohail cracked it...
"Exactly!!" Armaan chuckled... "Aur agar wo nahi bhi ghalat hota tab bhi iss model ko sab se pehle maine humari company pe he install karna tha!! Ab tumhe yahan isliye le kar aya kyunki agle 15 din k andar andar yeh model install karna hai, sab kuch iss pe shift karna hai!! Aur yeh main akela nahi kar sakta!!" He came on the main point...
"And obviously yeh model abhi highly confidentional hai!! leak hone ka khatra hai!!" Rohail got it...
"Haan!! Iss area mein tumhari skills achi hain isliye mein yahan tumhe saath le kar aya... Rahul thoda time leyta!! usska area different hai!!" Armaan explained...
"Lekin bhai!! yeh mere liye bhi itne se time mein samajhna impossible hai..." Rohail confessed...
"Abhi tak tum yeh khud samajh rahe thai aur ab tumhe yeh main samjhaoonga!! And don't worry... Yeh itna vast hai aur iss mein itne passwords lagay hain k Nishant bhi chahe to isse chori nahi kar sakta... " Armaan smiled and then started explaining Rohail the whole thing...
"Nahiii..." A cranky Shilpa pulled back her scraf from bella like a kid and sat down on the bed with a grumpy look on her face... She was too pissed off as again she received some letter which was now practically a blackmailing one...
Having it enough, she dialled Armaan whose mobile was out of coverage area and that made her even more furious... she dumped all her work for some other day and straight came back home where the laughs of people all around the house drove her nuts... here she was angry and they were laughing over some silly stuff...
"Enough!!!!" She huffed... "I had it enough!!" She gritted her teeth... "Huhhh...calm down!! Shilpa calm down!! i can handle it.. Kal tak he will be back and i can straight talk to him... lekin..." She took deep breaths to calm herself down... "Why the hell is he not reacting to it!!!!!" She again burned up and threw back her scarf on the bed...
"All okay??" Vikas knocked the door as he was passing by and heard these weird talks of Shilpa with no one around...
"App ko koi free fund mein thappar maare... to apko giussa nahi ayega???" She almost yelled throwing her question at Vikas... "Ya piya bhabhi?? if some one maybe just start throwing weird looks to her to app bethe rahenge chup chapp??? instead advicing her to ignore few things??" She gritted her teeth...
"Mallik!! tu gaya!!" Vikas mentally patted Armaan's back...
"ahem... well it depends situation kya hai??" Vikas tried to be sweet...
"Bhaiya.. " She was about to blast out about the whole thing when his words striked her.. "Jo humare beech ki baat hai wo humare beech hai!! i don't think nobody else has any right to know it!!"
"Leave it!! " She sighed... "Hum bahar chal k icecream kha sakte hain?? mera mood bohat kharab hai..." She made a face..
"After you!!" Vikas smiled... More than anything he was waiting for his best friend to arrive with his phone which he feels makes him incomplete these days.. he was practically living with Piya's cellphone which holds no interest to him... He realised how much his cell phones means to him...
...
Leaving the remaining stuff for the other day, Armaan and Rohail, both walked out of that temporary office of Armaan and were now sitting with a man who was busy chatting with Armaan providing Rohail shocks after shocks but he kept quiet for a while...
"Theek hai!! App papers ready karwaiye... phir hum sign bhi kar lenge..." Making the deal done, Armaan smiled and exchanging few greetings the man then walked off...
"Yeh kaunsa cafe??? kya baat kar rahe ho??" Rohail atlast asked...
"Mumbai mein ek cafe khule gaa jisski jo location humay pasand ayi hai usse yeh sahab own karte hain!!" Armaan explained...
"Kaunsa cafe??? kiska cafe?? kya hogaya hai???" Rohail was confused...
"Dekho!! kuch sawalon k jawab janne k liye tumhe Mauritius ana padega!!! Tab tak hmmm??" He kept his finger on his lips..
"Sss huhhh!!" Rohail was hell annoyed...
...
"Tummm kya karne wale ho??" Rohail's eyes came out as he can see the cab running towards Aliya's residense...
"Heart beat barh rahi hai??" Armaan winked...
"This is not funny okay!!" Rohail frowned.. he was not prepared to see Aliya. not at the moment atleast...
"Hahaha!! acha ek baat batao.. mein kapre to laaya nahi... tum subha se haath mein liye phirr rahe ho... to how am i supposed to attend that creepy function??" he asked...
"Your fail!! wese bhi 10 minute se zyaada to hum rukne nahi waale..." Rohail smirked...
"That we will see..." He chuckled as they both got out of the cab paying the money... "Now... we wont head there..." Armaan pointed at Aliya's house...
"Ahan??" Rohail arched his eyebrow...
"Hmmm..." Armaan nodded in a yes... "Tumhe pata haina k mera dehli bohat zyaada ana jaana hai... so i can't take the pain of carrying all my stuff again and again..." He pressed his lips togather...
"To tum yeh kehna chah rahe ho k tum apna kuch samaan yahan rakhte ho??" Rohail bit his lower lip...
"Please... agar main har visit pe maasi k ghar jaoonga aur abhay chachoo ki taraf nahi jaoonga to meri class lagni hai... phir iski shikayat uski shikayat and bla bla bla... sorry!! i don't have patience to hear all that..." He sighed...
"So???" Rohail was now confused...
"So... Vikas ka ghar!!" Armaan grinned pointing at Vikas's house which was just next to Aliya's...
"Ohhh that way... chalo.." Rohail got it..
"Tumhari jaankaari mein thoda aur izaafa karna chahunga... Maine.. kuch socha hai Mauritius se wapas lautne k baad... about our own software house!!" Armaan opened up about his future plans a little with Rohail while walking inside...
"Tum shaadi karlo pehle..." Rohail was too tired...
"Tumhara kya iraada hai??" Armaan chuckled...
"Mujhe sona hai..." Rohail fell down on the bed as Armaan got inside one of the room which he uses whenever he visits and had all his stuff there..."Uss kabootar ko award milega! yeh soch soch k he dimagh kharab hua ja raha hai mera.." He gritted his teeth...
"Award!!" Armaan got allert as he was expecting a call from Nidhi once she will find out about him being nominated and on not receiving her call by now it was clear that the lady is ready with her own tricks...
"Yeh kuch bhi kar sakti hai!!" Armaan bit his lower lip and grabbed his mobile quickly to dial her number...
"Arrreee!! Sir!! appne kyun zehmat kii???" Nidhi asked in a full dramatic way...
"Hehe!! karni paregii... khatre ki ghanti jo bajne lagi thi... App itni khamosh abhi tak!!" He replied back in the same tone...
"Arre sir app pohunchye to sahii!!" She smiled wide...
"Bakwaas bund karo aur tell me what are you upto??" He stopped being dramatic...
"Live In Conversation with you!!" She chuckled...
"One Good Reason??" He asked...
"Mere cheque ka amount barh jayega!! Aur trust me!! you wana do this..." She was confident...
"Well that i really want!!" What he wanted just happened...
Ending the call he thought to take a nap whereas the director came up to Nidhi...
"Are you sure he will get ready for this??" He asked for the last time...
"Guaranteed!!" Nidhi smiled while chewing her gum...
"Theek hai!! 3 ghante ka interview hoga yeh poora as now its conformed that he is getting it!" He announced...
"3 ghante!!" Nidhi's eyes widen up.. "3 ghante kya karenge hum log???" she scratched her cheek...
"Rohaiiilll...beta uth jao!!" Armaan slowly pored out the water over him from a jug though he was sounding really sweet...
"Bhaiii... tum so jaooo!!!" Rohail replied in the same tone while gritting his teeth... he wasn't really bothered about the water...
"Abay uth naa... 7 bajj gaya hai!!" Armaan ruffled his hairs... "Singhaniya intezaar kar raha hoga tumhara..." He chuckled...
"Happy Singhaniya day!!!" Gritting his teeth Rohail got up and threw rest of the water over Arman's head...
"Thank you!! Ab nahane ki zaroorat nahi hai mujhe..." Rohail heard Armaan's sarcastic tone while walking inside the washroom...
"You are most welcome!!" He shouted back...
It was around 8 and both Rohail and Armaan were getting dressed up... "Adha ghanta naa??" Rohail asked to conform about the duration of their stay...
"Haan!!" Armaan still didn't told anything to Rohail as he wanted to see those expressions on his face...
"Bhai seriously can i skip??? mere ko heart attack ajayega!!" Rohail was still very pissed off... "Itna bada criminal hai yeh... isko award ja raha hai!! just imagine..."
"Beta jaana to padega!! Log tumhe TV pe dekhna chahte hain!!" He chuckled while spraying some perfume on him...
"Tum itna kya tayyar ho rahe ho??? tumko mill raha hai award???" Rohail gritted his teeth as here he was carrying a sullen face with him and Armaan was getting ready as if he was going for a marriage proposal where he has to set his impression...
"Itna to tum na tab tayyar hue thai jab shilpa ko dekhne ja rahe thai aur na sagai k time pe..." Rohail taunted... "Donow he din bohat drame kiye thai tumne..."
"You see... Singhaniya ko lagna nahi chahiye k hum udaas hain... show some attitide yaar!! shaan se jao... chalo uthoo theek se tayyar ho..." Armaan dragged Rohail towards the mirror and went to grab his coat from the wardrobe...
"Yeh pagal ho gaya hai!!" Rohail shook his head...
...
"Tum log??" Rahul arched his eyebrow as he saw Abhi Nikki at the door... "Main ghar pe pagal ho jaata...maine atul ko bhi kaha k yahin ajaye... hum saath mein apna doobna celebrate karenge!!" Abhi rolled his eyes...
"Yaar nahi!!! main channal bhi nahi lagane wala tha wo..." Rahul made a face...
"Whatever... tum log pagal ho.." Nikki rolled up her eyes and went forward to find Annanya or Tanya..
What Rahul never wanted was happening now... he was in no mood to watch that crap tonight but now the environment turned as if they all had gathered to watch a cricket match... the huge LCD in the living room was turned on and All the men in the house were infront of it... They were sure that Armaan and Rohail both are very unreliable on this and will rather be somewhere else than this function...
"Aunty iss aadmi ne subha se meri zindagii azaab ki hui hai... wo ek aur mera dewar... wo bhi pagal ho gaya hai isske under kaam kar kar ke..." Nikki snored...
"Beta!! shaam se hum bhi yehi sab jhel rahe hain..." Tanya patted her back...
...
At Malhotra house...
Shilpa was very much normal by now... she was busy in laughing and helping Muskaan with her designs...
"Iss mein thoda sa purple touch do.. i think it will turn pretty awesome!!" Shilpa suggested...
"i was thinking tea pink.." Muskaan put forward her thoughts...
"Anddd no one can think better than you in this..." Shilpa shook her head while smiling as Muskaan just nailed it...
"Hello sisters... main yahan tv dekhne wala hun!!" Vikram jumped on the bed...
"Mujhe nahi dekhna wo bakwaas tum nahi dekho gay!!" Shilpa pointed a finger at him...
"What??? Neeche chachoo dekh rahe hain... Amit is watching!! Vikas bhaiya bhi bethe hain though he is less interested and annoyed aur tum mana kar rahi ho??" Vikarm frowned...
"Ufooo!! mujhe dekhna hai ab k yeh singhaniya kaun hai?? lagao!!!" Muskaan was done hearing about this man from so many days...
"Tumhi log dekho phirrr..." Shilpa walked outside and headed towards Vikas's room to spend some time with Aadi where she found Piya in a mess...
"Thank God!! Shilpa! please isko thodi deir k liye le jao... mein yeh kaam khatam kar lun!!" Piya pleaded to which shilpa giggled and took Aadi away...
Again she was back to her room with Aadi in her lap and bella by her side... It was always fun to watch Aadi troubling bella and bella being bella making her sounds and rolling her tail in attitude...
"Arre Red carpet scenerio bhi hai bhai!!" Rohail gleed sarcastically... "yahan to mujhe camera's reporters sab kuch dikh raha hai..."
"jao!! do tum interview!!" Armaan laughed...
"Tumhe he mubarak hon yeh interviews..." Rohail made a face...
"Back doors bhi ache hote haina??" Armaan arched his eyebrows...
"Huh???" Before Rohail could react he was dragged some other way by Armaan...
"Tum apni harkatein nahi chor sakte!!! kabhi nahi chorr sakte!!" Nidhi blasted out at him...
"Buzz off!!" Armaan sided her and started walking...
"Tie to sahi kar lo..." She yelled from the back..
"Excuse me!! may i know what is happening!!!" Rohail was too confused to see Nidhi there...
"Great!! you were just needed!!" Nidhi noticed Rohail and smiled...
"Tum yahan??" Rohail passed a questioning look...
"She is the host!! anchor what ever you say..." Armaan introduced..."Main sirf issi k liye aya hun warna hargiz nahi ata..."
"Oh!!! how sweet!!" Nidhi almost punched his shoulder... "Back door se kyun aye ho tum??" She yelled...
"Camera lights meri ankhon ki umar ghatati hain!! they will become weak!!" Armaan pouted... "Main pilot kese banoonga phir???" he cried fake like a little kid...
"Issko wapas le jao yaar tum!!" Nidhi slapped her head...
"Hahahahaha!! bhai seriously you just said that??" Rohail couldn't stop laughing after hearing out Armaan...
...
"Lo... function shuru hogaya!! they didn't walked in... nahi gaye as expected..." Rahul clapped and grabbed his phone to dial them... "Anddd mobile bhi off!!" He clapped even more...
"Maine to pehle he kaha tha!!" Atul closed his eyes resting his back on the sofa...
"Acha tum log chup karoge??" Arjun asked them to be quiet...
"Lekin yeh ghalat baat hai... unhe bheja kis liye tha??" Billy was disappointed...
...
"Shilpa!! Jiju nazar nahi aye!!" Vikram passed a coy smile to Shilpa...
"Achi baat hai!!" Shilpa showed her so not interested look...
"Wo dekho!! tumhara Singhaniya!!!" Armaan pointed at a corner, it was fun to see those expressions of Rohail...
"Bhai!!!" Rohail hit him on his lap... "Shakal mat dikaho mujhe usski..."
"Hehehe.." Armaan giggled...
With Nidhi being anchor was fun.. she almost pulled it off in the start with her just 2-3 hilarious comments... "Anddd heading towards the nominations, lets have a look..." she turned as the slides started at the front wall...
It was like each nomination's picture with acheivment details were written on sides... 3rd was Ajay Singhaniya which made Rohail took a cold sigh as his eyes fell on his face which was brightening like a bulb...
Shilpa rolled her eyes and started playing with Aadi again whereas Muskaan's eyes came out... "OYE!! Yeh to wo..." Muskaan whispered to Shilpa as she recognized Ajay...
"Ignore..." Shilpa gritted her teeth... "Nidhi host kar rahi hai yeh???" Shilpa was confused about that... "Khair... yahan kuch bhi ho sakta hai!!"
At Mallik Residence only two people were freaking out like hell... Abhi and Rahul as they were the one encountered the most with Ajay...
"Lekin yeh Nidhi yahan kese hai??" Rahul asked Abhi...
"Tum log jaante ho isko??" Arjun asked...
"Haan!! yeh kaam karti hai bhai k saath... mile hain hum Australia mein isse..." Rahul replied back with a simple answer...
...
"Now last... but not the least..." Nidhi smiled...
"Hain?? ek aur bhi hai??" Atul scratched his head...
"i didn't knew this..." Abhi raised his shoulders...
"Mujhe bhi laga tha k 6 nominations hain sirf..." Billy bit his lower lip...
"6 nominations thai naa khaali???" Amit asked shashank to conform...
"Officially to kuch bhi announce nahi hua tha.." Shashank took it light...
"Yeh kaun agaya ab??" Vikram passed a questioning look to Shilpa who was now looking at the screen to know who is this...
"Don't freak out!!!" Armaan warned Rohail...
"Huh??" Rohail passed a weird look to Armaan and then looked at the screen which dropped his jaw down...
"Don't freak out!!!" Armaan again warned while plastering a smile on his face... "Aurr mu bund karo... makhi huss jayegii!!"
"Youuu..."Rohail wanted to kill him... "Tum nominated ho!!!" Rohail glared at Armaan...
"Nahi to tumhe kya laga?? main waqai Ni k liye aya hun yahan?? ya mujhe iss kism k functions se itna pyaar ho gaya hai??? as you said.. apni sagai pe bhi itni tayyari nahi ki maine..." he smirked
"You are impossible..." Rohail was now giggling as this sullen, confused face of Ajay which was worth watching...
...
"NO WAY!!!!" Everybody at malhotras and malliks freaked out on seeing his picture and other details..
"Nahiii Mujhe jana tha!!! hatts kyun nahi aya???" Rahul started crying fake...
"Issko main nahi chorunga!!" Abhi went mad..
"Yeh ladkaa!!!!" Billy slapped his head twice...
"Isski kutt lagni hai!! pakaa!!" Arjun announced...
"Lekin dekha jaye to mera shuru se question tha k why the hell is he not nominated??" Atul asked cheekily...
"wow!!! he is nominated!! Nidhi the host... which makes it clear k yeh akele mein dekhne wali cheez hai!! sab k saath isko nahi dekha ja sakta..." Vikas danced mentally and was about to get up when he saw Shashank raising eyes at him...
"tch!!" Vikas made a sound raising his shoulders in the air declaring he dosen't know anything... "Mamoo!! ek suggestion hai!!" Vikas whispered to Shashank while sitting down next to him...
"Kya???" Shashank narrowed his eyes...
"Akele beth k dekhiye... enjoy karenge!!" Vikas winked at him and got up to break the news to piya...
"I don't believe this!!!" Shilpa narrowed her eyes... now her attention was all towards the tv screen...
"you knew this??" Shilpa received Anjali's call...
"Nahi yaar... i am shocked..." Shilpa spoke out...
"Hehehe!! now i am enjoying this!!!" Anjali giggled and hung up...
Now when Armaan came in the picture, both the families got glued to their screens...
To announce the result a very experienced and known name was called up by nidhi...He read the name and smiled... "Haha!! well i am not surprised to see his name here... the most deserving and dangerous man because... there is a thing about him that... you just meet him for five minutes for the first time and he is a danger for you for the rest of your life..." The old man giggled...
"Le gaya!!! singhaniya mein aise koi quality nahi hai!!" Abhi relaxed his back...
"Hadd hogai!!" Armaan scratched his forehead...
"I am fixing my camera on Ajay's face... isska to main mms bana k rahul aur Abhi ko bhejunga..." Rohail chuckled...
"Armaan Mallik!!" The old man announced and the camera panned on Armaan and Rohail who were seen laughing giving a highfive to eachother... actually it was on the expressions Ajay just gave but definitly it was unknown to all...
"lol!!" Sid already had the news about him winning by Nidhi and now he just connected to internet to see fukrapanti of Nidhi and Armaan... It was already understood to Vikas and Sid that its impossible they both sit togather and won't do anything weird... it has to be a hilarious thing...
There was only one business channal which was telecasting this award function live and right now it was the centre of attraction for all the share and stakeholders...
Adjusting his coat, he started walking towards the stage winking at Nidhi who was smiling for the same reason Rohail and Armaan was...
"Thank you!!" He gladly received the award and shook hands with the old man who patted on his back proudly... "Aur bhae?? pehli mulakat yaad haina??" He smiled...
"Sir!! apko kaun bhool sakta hai?? " Armaan smiled... under some circumstances during a conference he remembered spending whole day with this old man...
"Congratulations!!" Nidhi whispered to him as he walked towards the mic...
"Thank you!!" He smiled giving her a side hug...
"Well..." He corrected his breath... "This was... very much expected!!" He said while looking at the award...
"Expected???" Nidhi butted in between..." This was expected???" she arched her eyebrow as no one else was expecting this...obviously they didn't knew about him being nominated so how can they expect??
"Yeah... i mean i was sitting in Mauritius when i received the mail, then in order to get back here on time i wasted my energy shouting on my people to buckup complete work so i'll be able to leave... then that day of leaving rushing back home playing almost a hit and miss with several cars, paid for my tickets and all... so much opportunity cost for an unexpected thing?? Do i look like a fool???" He asked finally taking a breath making all other laugh who were watching it...
"Great!! you are in a mood to talk..." Nidhi zipped up letting him speak...
"It feels great!! Andd thankyou!! everyone who is been watching me!!" He pressed his lips togather... "Tolerated me!!" He added with a giggle..
"Thats it??" Nidhi questioned?? "No family thanking and all?? just people out here??"
"You see talliyaan bajane mein, dekhne mein bhi energy lagti hai!!" He added looking at Nidhi...
"Hmmm.. one is waiting for ambulance.." It just slipped out of her tongue as she felt she is just talking to him and she bit her tongue realising what she had said and turned around whereas almost everyone figured out about her taunting at Ajay...
"Hahahahahaha!!" Rohail burst down laughing whereas Armaan held it back shaking his head on her...
"We'll be back 'In Conversation With'..." She somehow announced and thankfully it all ended...
"Hahahahaha!!! What are you both upto??" Sid sent a message to both on whatsapp but their phones were switched off..
"Tum log kar kya rahe thai??" Rohail was still laughing...
"arre it just came out..." Nidhi defended herself... "Acha listen!! This will be a 3 hr interview and you are in it!!" She broke the news to Rohail...
"What??? main kyun??? maine kya kiya hai??" Rohail tripped...
"The thing is k..." Nidhi bit her lower lip.. "I can't explain... tumhe ana he padega"
...
"I still can't believe this... he was nominated??" Shilpa was actually very shocked... Now Armaan being calm infront of Ajay and yesterday's incident was all making sense to her... "Yeh last minute jhatke dene ka itna shawk kyun hai inhe??" She soliloquized and then herself started laughing as she memorised his speech on expected/unexpected thing...
"kaafi news mein ho wese tum!!!" Nidhi teased him while settling down on the couch...
"Abhi dekho main kis kis ko news mein le kar ata hun!!" he warned...
"Sir.. yeh angle aise.." The assistant director tried to instruct the three about their positions, mic and the camera angle...
"Sir are you sure yeh ladki handle kar legi?? hum exclusive de rahe hain yeh... kuch ulta seedha na ho jaye..." One of the unit members spoke out... The channal was in a mess at the moment... they hired Nidhi for a small on stage talk.. Now when things got extended and A whole 3 hr exclusive live interview and Armaan Mallik being never seen before on tv was there... The channel went a bit apprehensive plus their famous hosts and anchors were now clentching their jaws as they wanted to be the one to have the privilage... Everyone wanted Nidhi out of the frame but that was the real problem... She was the one who brought him onboard and things could go worse if they tried to kick her out.. Even time was not enough to do anything now...
"Ab kuch nahi ho sakta hai!! hum agle 5 minute mein on air jaane wale hain!!" The head ended the discussion...
"Camera!! Rolling!! And Action..." A sound boomed and it started...
...
"OMG!! Yeh kya hai??" Piya's jaw dropped down on the scene she just saw infront of her on the TV... She was not aware about him winning the award.. Just when Vikas heard about 'In Conversation with' he ran upto his room knowing now its going to be fun and he wanted to enjoy it fully... "Saala!! issiliye mujhse shares khareedwaye iss ne.." Vikas smirked...
...
"Okay!! before i'll start with anything else... let me ask how does it feel??" Nidhi was done with welcoming and introducing both Armaan and Rohail and now she was on questioning round...
"Feeel... umm it has to be great yaar.. one can't expect me to be sorry about getting the award... " he smiled...
"Hehe!! acha ek cheez i am really curious to know about..." pause "when people usually receive any award or something, they have a huge list of people to thank.. zahir hai bohat saare logon ko especially mention bhi kiya jaata hai.. but you acted really comic... why??" She passed a sly smile to him...
"Thank yous???" Armaan looked at Rohail arching his eyebrow...
"wo ek ko mention kar k Thankyou kehne ka matlab hai peeche se dus se kutt khana.. hum logon mein se koi aise fuzul kaam nahi karta..." Rohail closed his eyes shaking his head in a NO...
"Hehehehe!! yeah!! mere pass list lumbi hai... i mean sab ka kuch na kuch contribution hai..." Armaan explained.. "Lekin mujhe yeh accept karne mein koi sharam nahi hai k adhe se zyaada credit mera khud ka hai... matlab bohat gadhon ki tarah kaam kiya hai yaar..." he gave a bechara look... "Aurrr mention kar k insaan family ko he basically thanks kehta hai andd i exist because of my family yaar!! to yeh to already understood hai! Ab bolun na bolun kya farq parr jayega??"
"Hahahaha!!" Nidhi laughed at his comment along with the people behind the camera...
"but on a serious note..." He became straight for a while... "ummm yeh award i think meri jo recently added qualification hai... uski wajah se zyaada hai aurr iss mein do logon ka bohat bada haath hai... family se to wese he door betha tha main to wo kya tolerate karte?? Ek bohat bada thankyou main ussko kehna chahunga jo yeh mere pass le kar aya.. kyunki main khudse to i am sure... nahi sochne wala tha... lekin someone dragged me to do this so credits to him for this..." He referred about Sid...
"Chal bhai!! teri izzat barh gayi!!" Vikas sent a message to Sid...
"And secondly... There is a Big hand of someone who really took care of few things... the person was my studying partner plus a great frnd... kyunki main to pagal hua wa tha... bohat travelling chal rahi thi meri but hota hai kabhi k app especially ja k kisi ko thanks nahi keh paate.. like i used to be in rush... mujhe forun AirPort k liye nikalna hai maine lunch nahi kiya hai ya aisa kuch, mein apni he masroofiyaat mein busy hun aur tab... " He smiled.. "Jatay jatay bhi koi, koi shake, ya kuch bhi haath mein de de...that means alot!! so ek support wahan se nahi hoti to kaafi problem ho jana tha.. maine kabhi kaha nahi wahan bhi but i am genuinly very thankful to that person!!" He indirectly thanked Nidhi keeping his hand over his heart which made her giggle...
"Aur main soch raha hun wo mahan insaan kaun hai?? i think i know!!" Rohail chuckled...
...
"Arre kya baat hai!! tum miya biwi ki to tarakki hoti ja rahi hai!!" Vikas messaged again!!
"Jealous insaan!!" Sid laughed while replying back...
"ye kisko itne dill se thank bol raha hai??" Kartik asked... "mujhe ajj tak thankyou nahi bola iss ne..."
"Sid ko bol raha hai... ussi ko sab se pehle shawk charha tha yeh coarse karne ka..." Rahul replied taking a deep breath...
...
"Okay!! shuru se start karte hain!! humne actually kaafi inquiry ki hai apki life pe so that we don't miss this chance clearly... so??? bachpan se he aise thai?? focused, humorous coz thats what your personality seems like..." It was required from Nidhi to act a bit formal with him..
"Never!! never! infact... i was a very average student though everybody at home wanted me to be a brilliant one but after school, homework and then extra srudies was never my cup of tea... Bal ke mein un logon mein se ha jo ek baar first a ke beth jaen k chalo ab doosron ko bhi chance milna chahiye..." He smiled...
"Hahahaha!!! really?? Then what turned you up because i have your records.. and you were at the top since class..." She took out a paper to see... "8th..."
"See its a fact that i was born with a silver spoon in my mouth!! but soon Rohail and Rahul entered in my life to snatch it away... " He grinned at Rohail...
"Cut that off!! We just pulled that out a bit and bade papa and dad!! They snatched it away completely.."Rohail defened himself and Rahul...
"Haan to mili bhgat haina tum sab ki..." He gave him a grumpy look...
"Arrre... i am demanding an answer..." Nidhi butted in before they could start with their own banter...
"Haan to..." Armaan came back on his point while changing his position..."Bhae i was a normal kid, enjoying my life... phir life mein ek time aya jab mujhse do choton ne mujhe follow karna shuru kiya..." he glared at Rohail..."Ummm maine realise nahi kiya shuru mein kyunki main bhi bacha he tha buttt.. yeh donow kuch bhi ghalat karte thai agar aur unhe toka jaye to sunne ko milta tha bhai ne bhi aise kiya tha.. Phirrr..." He rolled his eyes... "parrne lagi mujhe..."
"Huh???" Nidhi raised her brow...
"Yeah!! Mujhe bitha k acha khasa lecture diya jata tha k tumse chote tumhe follow up karte hain so you have to do it right and etc etc..." Pause.. "Main kabhi kaan nahi dharta tha iss sab pe...lekin phir ek saal aya jab..they both came first in their respective classes aur wo din azaab tha mere liye literally... uss din mujhe laga yeh kya hogaya?? mujhe inki misaalein milna shuru hogayi hain matlab itna bura waqt agaya hai mera??" " He made a face... "And it was then when i started working on my character and even Dad chachoo... they were quiet strict about discipline and all and thats the result why they stopped providing me with my pocket money so that i can go and learn and i think that trick worked..." He nodded...
"So that was kind of a start of your journey???" Ni bit her lower lip...
"Yeah!! keh sakte hain kyunki... ummm mein ek jagah chup chaap bethne wala insaan tha he nahi kabhi... thak ta kum tha aur mujhe bohat kuch karna hota tha... matlab i had to do something... bekaar nahi beth sakta!! Phirrr ghar walon ne duty lagayi to in logon ko parhna shuru kiya!!" He pointed at Rohail, phir kabhi koi dost beemaar parr gaya, usska kuch miss hogaya to usko help kardi... usse help leyli so basically when you are teaching someone you can't go wrong... to pehle uss cheez ko khud parh k ache se samajhna hota tha and i think that worked!!! Phirr bus adat lagg gayi!!" He spoke out carelessly...
"Haan!! boss banne ki!!" Rohail commented sarcastically...
"Jee nahi!!" He snapped back... "Mujhe parhne parhane ki adat parr gayi!! teaching enjoy karne laga tha main aurrr... phir ek baar top karne ka chaska lagg jaye to phirr to jaan maarta he hai insaan!!"
"So basically all credits to you and Rahul??" Nidhi giggled at Rohail...
"Dekh lo... bagair mere kuch bole he wo samajh gayi!!" Rohail tapped lightly on Armaan's lap...
"Le lo... daan mein diye meine tum logon ko credits!!" He giggled...
"Hahahahahaha!!!" Nidhi laughed... "Okay!! so i get it.. about your career stuff but what about your personality?? Any influencial figure??" She asked...
"Isko kaun influence karega?? yeh wo personality hargizz nahi hai!!" Rohail replied instead of Armaan...
"Point!!" She clicked her fingers... "Yeh kisi se influence nahi hote hain!!" She added...
"Influence is a wrong word!! Mujhe bus kisi k bhi even Dad and Chachoo!!... free ki advices aur suggestions mujhe bilkul pasand nahi hain!! na personally na professionally!! I hate them!!" He made a face.. "Mujhe mere ghar walon ne shuru se he free hand diya hai about my choices... aur mujhe kya?? hum teenow ko...bus bata diya k beta! yeh sahi hai aur yeh ghalat hai!! rest is up to me... so meri choices aur decisions mere khud k hote hain!! Once i make my mind then nobody can force me to change it..." He paused...
"Mujhe jahan se aur jiski jo cheez achi lagi hai maine usse grab kiya hai!! aisa kuch nahi hai k mera paisa hai to main fuzool mein uraaon infact main kaafi kanjoos mashaoor hun apne ghar mein..." He bit his lower lip...
"Khair uss mein to koi shuk nahi hai!!" Both Nidhi and Rohail said it togather...
"Yeh kya chalna shuru hogaya hai???" People behind the camera became confuse... it was no more a formal interview but more like a casual conversation between three... Nidhi's frankness with Armaan and Rohail was making them more confuse...
"The thing is k one day i woke up... i just dreamt of something really good and i just decided to work on my character!!! Mujhe bus aisa laga k... mera ek strong impactful charcater hona chahiye... Aurrr busss" He raised his shoulders carelessly... "Uss din se le ke ajj tak main jo hun, mein jo karta hun, jo kehta hun sab mere character ka hissa hai, meri personality ka hissa hai.. all what i have gain.. eigther success or respect!! all is in the process of making my character the way i wanted it to be... Aisa nahi hai k mujh mein sab acha he acha hai... its just that i am what i wanted to be... i am what i like, what i love!!" He ended pressing his lips togather... "Mera yeh manna hai k insaan ko khud se pyaar hona chahiye aur jinse hum pyaar karte hain unko kuch acha he dene ki koshish karte hain!! So.. humay khud ko kuch acha dena chahiye anddd i think what best i could give myself was a strong character..."
"And that is the thing we have followed!!" Rohail smiled... " I mean he might have followed bade papa and dad... lekin maine aur Rahul ne humesha issi ko follow kiy hai... kabhi ghalat doston wagera mein issi liye nahi pare kyunki... ummm we brothers are more like friends... " Rohail opened up...
"To roab woab nahi hai bade bhai ka kuch??? i mean ek darr hota hai usually... respect wala darr..." Nidhi was on to discuss this relationship area more...
"Yaar respect ki meaning tum sab pata nahi kya leyte ho?? i mean as far as we three are concerened its unexpressible... nahi??" Rohail looked at Armaan as he felt shortage of words...
"Respect naa dill se ati hai seedhi cheez!!" Armaan pulled his hands up... "Ab agar yeh mujhe naam se bulaye gaa... isko choro... tum mujhe naam se bulati ho... that doesn't mean that you disrespect me or i disrespect you.. Relationship aur bondings k oppar app baat nahi kar sakte repect ko le kar.. wo respect dill se he ati hai oppar dikhane mein kuch nahi hota..." He stated...
"Exactly!! what i know is k humare roots strong hain... bonding to app chorr dijye... We call him bhai!! and we mean that... koi problem hai kuch hai... bure se bura koi karnama anjaam de diya hai!! wo apas mein main aur rahul beshak na share karen... lekin agar iske saath share na karen to neend he nahi ayegi!! kuch iss type ki equation hai humari.." Rohail explained...
"One sided??" Nidhi teased...
"O bhae mera dinn poora nahi hota do cheezon k bagair... Ek to chillati hui awaaz Armaaan!!!" He enacted making the other two and everybody infront of Tv laugh...
"Jo usually mom, chachi wagera ki ya jo meri extended family mein keh sakta hun hai... Aurr doosri cheez hai 'bhai!!' ummm teen log kehte hain!! aur unki apni ki tone hoti hai... to... yeh do cheezein jis din na sunoo mera din nahi poora hota..." He chuckled...
"extended family explain karenge zara app??" Rohail questioned arching his eyebrow...
"Extended family as in... wo sab jinse mein bohat close hun... dost, cousins and all.. wo sab jo meri daily life mein shamil hain!! jinse mein chahun bhi to peecha nahi chura sakta..." He gave an innocent look... "Wo mujhe zinda nahi chorenge phirrr..."
"Wow!! what a definition!!" Rohail clapped mocking at him...
"hehehehe... Achaaa!! tumhari taraf atay hain thoda.. what about your goals and dreams??" Nidhi questioned Rohail...
"Dreammm???" Rohail looked up while thinking... "Goals apne acheive kar chuka hun main... dreamsss..."
"Dreams ajj kal urri hui hain!!" Armaan interrupted... "Naya goal vague hai thoda!!" Rohail's eyes popped out at this comment by him and he turned his face towards Armaan passing a glare to him...
"I mean.. about your recent project.." He covered up giving a side loop smile...
"Hehehehe!!!" Nidhi tried to hold back her laugh... "Acha ab yahan baat i hai to.. i was just coming on that.. the most talked project!! jisse apne aquire kiya tha..." She pointed at Armaan.. "And now Abhimanyu Modi is continuing.. uspe baat karna chahungi mein thodi..." She came on the point while team behind the camera and people infront of Tv were waiting for...
"The news is all over the market that you!!" She looked at Rohail.. "Rahul and Abhi.. a rift has started between you three aurr itni k office mein torr phorr bhi shuru hogai thodi.." Rohail wasn't expecting from Nidhi to came up on this like that publicly so he decided to be quiet on this and Armaan's expressions were to capture as the thorr phorr stuff was really a shock for him...
"Rift??? Aurr wo bhi in teenow k beech???" He questioned as if he was unknown to all of this...
"Yeah!! i mean why is no one else here from your company??" She raised her eyes..
"You think we both are not enough???" Armaan questioned back...
"Okay!! then what about the rift news?? Its been surrounded all over the market.. people are talking about this, your share are down..." She fired back to back...
"There is no rift at all..." Armaan answered straight...
"I doubt.." She said in a confident style..
"I bet..."He was also no less... "There is no such rift aur about the torr phorr part... its the renovation going on in our office..." He lied falwlessly making Rohail stunned...
"Ahem ahem!!" Abhi started coughing... "Renovation??? yeh kab hua??" Abhi looked at Rahul...
"Hehehe... ho raha hoga yaar... ab bola hai to ho he raha hoga!! mujhe poora bharosa hai yeh humay clean chit dilwa k he aeynge!!" Rahul smirked...
"Renovation???" Shilpa's jaw dropped down along with Vikram...
"Is he drunk?? itna safed jhoot!!" Vikram corrected his throat... By now all thiss has became so interesting to listen that Shilpa and Vikram too joined Amit downstairs, Shashank got what Vikas was pointing and so he was in his room enjoying the whole thing while laying down on his bed...
"Okay i have you know... loads of questions regarding this project of yours and i am sure all your shareholders and the whole market is waiting for answers from both of you... umm we really wished to see Mr Abhimanyu Modi here aswell buttt... khair so we are gona talk on this just after a small break!! Take a break!!" Nidhi ended looking at the camera and the commercials started...
"All okay??" Nidhi asked the people behind camera who gave her the green signal..
Armaan and Rohail avoided to talk anything regarding office and all because mics were still on and the team can hear them..
Everyone was done with drinking water and so as Nidhi with her touch up and now they were again on air.. The only change people can see on their Tv screens were the two glasses of juice on the table for Armaan and Rohail...
"So... what made you take up this project?? i mean how this all happened??" Nidhi questioned...
"I don't get it why things are so messed up now.. the thing is that i just returned from NewYork after completing my other projects anddd... i thought to take a break but ended up going office coz i got bored.." Armaan paused while taking a sip of his juice...
"See... har office mein , har business mein ek target hota hai apka... app ussi hisaab se kaam karte hain!!" Rohail continued as Armaan eyed him to... "Anddd he was free but we were not... he was out of the picture for whole two years and then his sudden came back did nothing... There was no work for him... aurr yeh bata chuke hain k yeh sahab khali beth te nahi..." Rohail pressed his lips togather... "Aur phir saamne se agar apko koi aisi cheez ati dikhai de which is acheivable and contains an element of challange... why not to take it then??" Rohail looked at Armaan...
"Haan exactly... maine aise he kaam karna shuru kiya tha!! ab yeh meri ghalti thodi hai k project mujhe mil gaya!! Ab jis ko dekho yehi pooche ja raha hai i mean why???" This was time for Armaan to get hyper a bit...
"And what exactly made you leave it??" Nidhi arched her eyebrow...
"Simple!! I got the project... meetings took place and the managing director and others" he reffered to Billy and Arjun along with other higher staff... "They were finding Abhimanyu a more appropriate guy to work on this..."
"You are kidding me..." Nidhi' expressions came out real as this was now news for all... Rohail, Nidhi even people at home have no idea what he was talking...
"Isko paise khilaye thai tumne???" Billy looked at Abhi with widen eyes...
"Mujhe mat ghooriye app... usko ghooriye jo bakwaas kar raha hai.." Abhi made a face... It was about him now...
"No i am not!!" Armaan acted too serious... "Abhi is one of the best friends of mine... he had worked with Malliks before aswell and they were finding him more appropriate for this job.. He has got sharp skills and more grip at this area and so my stay could have cost the company alot..." He raised his shoulders carelessly...
"Ek to wo mujhe pay karte aur phir bhi agar mein unko 100% nahi de sakta to kya faida... i got some other project i went there and Abhi came onboard.. Ab iss sab ko itna extra exaggerate kyun kiya hua hai market mein i have no idea..." He rolled his eyes..
"Actually grapevine is something i hate anddd yahan bhi 80% market mein news ghalat hoti hai... " Rohail commented... he was now getting the whole thing.. why Armaan got ready for live inetrview and why Nidhi is asking these sort of questions... He understood it was all planned...
"Kya baat hai!!" Vikas clapped... "Abhi ko utha k iss ne oppar bitha diya!! Billy uncle wagera ko clean chit dedi.. aur khud jahan tha... wahan aur jum k beth gaya!!" he shook his head..
"Wo interview bagair kisi wajah k thodi de raha hai.." Piya smirked...
"Interview to khair na he kaho issko..." Vikas rolled his eyes...
"But you really believe that everything is going fine??" Ni pressed her lips togather... "Since you are completely out from this company at the moment and you have got the award... shareholders are counting on you and Wrong or Right whatever situation is, your market shares are down and people are believing on rumors.." Nidhi warned him...
"Yeh ek naya rumor hai!!Who said i am out of company??" He frowned.. Rohail was sitting expressionless... he wanted to let him do whatever he wants...
"Arre... abhi to you said it.." Nidhi made a face...
"I never said i am out of the company completely... Its just that was not officially on to it and so i was not even receiving any payement... but i was involved.. There are so many things we all discuss togather.. and mera ana jaana wese bhi laga rehta hai!!" He paused...
"Aur jahan tak market ki baat hai k project maine liya tha... so yess maine liya tha!! But i think Abhi is doing better than me and even if things were not better then they will get better as i am finished with my other work and i am back!! You will see me in the office any day you reach.." And this was his major hit!!! He got the award and he is working with Mallik's again!! This was enough to shoot up the shareprice again and Rohail just got what he was talking about in the morning...
"Shhh tchhh OMG!! This is what he planned.." Arjun held his head in his palms...
"Mujhe koi idea nahi tha yeh... yeh sab karne wala hai.." Billy was in a state of shock...
"And this is exactly why renovation was needed.. yeh jab bhi padharte hain!! kahin na kahin se inspire ho ke aye hue hote hain!! and we believe in giving a good working environment so..." Rohail joined hands with Armaan...
"Yeh bhi koi kum nahi hai... kya tuning hai donow bhaiyun ki!!" Nidhi mentally praised Rohail...
"Aur mujhe to yeh samajh nahi ata k, jab tak audit nahi hota hai, market mein report nahi ati hai... how can you just go and believe on some baseless rumors?? Profit hai loss hai whatever it is, yeh appko audit report se he pata chalta hai!!" Rohail came in action... "Ab main Abhi ko maruu kuttoo pitoon... kuch bhi karun or vice versa that will be exactly what i will do with him or he will do with me..." He pointed at Armaan... "Ab isse kisi ko kya concern hai?? the main thing is k Yeh project bohat bada hai!! Sab ne jaan laga di iske liye... aur kaun nahi tha competetion mein humare??" He questioned...
"Phir bhi yeh humay mila... to haath pe haath rakh k to nahi milgaya!! definitly we have worked hard, something was unique that is why we got it!!" He breathed... "Ab usspe kaam sahi chal raha hai, kuch delay nahi ho raha hai... sab set hai to phir kis baat ka rumor?? Ab mera kis k saath kesa relation hai ya Abhi ka kesa relation hai how does that matter??? We are not filmstars jin k baare mein sab ko janna hai aur roz roz sab newspaper mein chap raha hai??? koi drama chal raha hai kya??" Rohail blasted out... "Adhe se zyaada shareholders ko to pata he nahi hota hai k company chal kese rahi hai?? pata hota to wo khud management ki jagah pe nahi hote??" Wrinkles came on his forehead...
"I agree... bal k maine khud dekha hai k log pichle saal ki audit report se compare kar k cho dete hain!! They don't get all this..." Nidhi was supporting the answers and Armaan was quiet enjoying his juice...
...
"Garam ho gaya yeh to..." Rahul cupped his face in his one palm...
"Thank God main nahi gaya... warna iski jagah main hota aur sawal aur khatarnaak hote.." Abhi shook his head...
"Wo dekho... party chal rahi hai wahan to.." Rahul made Abhi turn his face where Atul, Kartik, Mayank, Billy and Arjun were busy having cold drinks and snacks and here these two were sitting like idiots too serious and engrossed in the televison screen...
"Ahahahaha!!! bol raha hai!!" Sid messaged Vikas..
"Haan bolne do... kuch dinow baad wese bhi iski bolti bund hone wali hai :P" Vikas replied back with a grin on his face... "Aliya kya kar rahi hai??"
"Pagal hai wo!! Baad mein bataonga kahan busy hai!" Sid took a deep breath and messaged back...
...
"Okay!! Thodi garma garmi ho gayi!! side line leyte hain thodi.." Nidhi tried to lighten up the atmosphere...
"Arre issne yahin pe baat khatam kyun kar di??" One of the unit members objected... they didn't liked this act of Nidhi...
"Yeh donow uth k chale gaye naa... to hum kuch nahi kar sakte... ussne jawab diya yehi bohat hai!!" The head member warned his junior..
"Tell me something about your journey in this industry..." Nidhi questioned Rohail...
"It wasss... technically very hard!!" Rohail smiled looking at Armaan who was giggling... "MBA aur doosre coarses khatam he kiye thai aur socha tha thode rest ka... buttt..." He sighed eyeing at Armaan...
"Let me guess... some emotional drama??" Nidhi knew everything already still it was fun..
"Come on yaar!! it wasn't an emotional drama..." Armaan spoke out...
"Ahan!! to kya kehte hain usko??" Rohail arched his eyebrow...
"It was more like... apne bade buzurgon ka haath batana.." He smirked...
"Busss!!!" Rohail hit Armaan's lap... "Ab iski ghar pe entry bann.. Wohi saare bade buzurg jab tumhe kick out karenge naa... tab poochon gaa.." Rohail laughed...
"Bade Buzurg!!" Billy and Arjun's eyes came out whereas Rahul and others started laughing...
"Issko to ane do..." Arjun frowned...
"Wo nahi ayega... bolega badi khatarnaak vibes arahi hain apke pass se..." Mayank made a joke about the way Armaan reacted last time he came..
"Ehsaan faramosh insaan... Thank you bhi nahi bola.." Billy made a face...
"Khana kha k apne bola tha??" Kartik chuckled..
"Tv dekho tum!!!" Both Billy and Arjun glared at him...
"So... you mean you guys didn't got any break??? instead a torture??" Nidhi laughed...
"Haan... 6 maheene tak to salary k bagair kaam karwaya... wo kehte hain naa ghar ki murgi daal barabar.." Rohail snored...
"Hahahaha!!" Armaan laughed out loud...
"You are enjoying very much??" Nidhi raised her eyes at Armaan..
"I am a good listner.." He chuckled...
"Acha... whom do you find more strict as a boss???" Nidhi again questioned Rohail just for fun...
"Koi aur naam leyne ki jurrat meri..." Rohail did a bow down to Armaan...
"Fuzul mein badnaam mat karo tum mujhe.." Armaan pouted...
"Yeh aadmi... " Rohail widen his eyes... "Triple kaam karwayega hum logon se... Na Khud lunch karta hai aur kyunki hum inke saath kaam kar rahe hain isliye tufail mein hum bhi lunch nahi karenge... phir kuch poocho to... trend mark line.." Rohail was taking it all out today...
"Lagna nahi chahiye naa k personal relations ki wajah se favor kar raha haun!!" Both Rohail and Nidhi said it togather in a sarcastic tone while glaring at him...
"So??? I am extrta professional with you guys!!" He carelessly defended himself...
"Rehne do bus..." Rohail frowned.. "You tell me... how long you have been working under him??" He questioned Nidhi...
"Ummm i guess.. 4 years!!" Nidhi answered while scratching her neck...
"My God!! Mujhse zyaada torture jhela hai tumne to.." He gave her a sorry look...
"She works under him???" It was time for the whole channal team to get some shocks...
"What do u hate the most?? ab mujhe sawal karne mein maza araha hai!!" Rohail rubbed his hands togather...
"He can not sit at one place... har paanch minute mein ek round... you can not think of doing anything else other than work in office.." Nidhi galred at him...
"To??? why do you guys go to office?? for fun??" Armaan asked the two...
"Still... just because hum tumhe personally jaante hain dosen't mean we should work like machines..." She narrowed her eyes...
"See.. i know your potentials anddd.. i am just accepting it that i love to exploit you guys... coz after office hours you guys don't leave me... Tum logon ki harkatein ginwana shuru kar dun to subha ho jaye.." He snapped back...
"Now this is what i called... in conversation with..." Sid laughed as it was no more Armaan's interview only... "Jiska jo marzi araha hai baat kar raha hai, sawal pooch raha hai!!"
Even the people behind camera were now relaxed and just listening them... It was fun plus unexpectedly they can see the viewers number increase... people started watching this for fun now...
"Ahem!!" Nidhi corrected her throat... "Acha.. company ki baat hogayi!! Infact app donow k careers pe bhi baat ki humne... personality pe bhi baat ki and i find you guys somewhat every similar to eachother..." She paused... "Ab... pehle to main ek cheez batana chahungi..." Nidhi's expressions were telling she was upto something mischevious...
"I didn't knew you were nominated... you were very quiet about this!! Aurrr on record you have never interacted with media before..." she paused... " Subha jab mujhe list mili nominations ki to... unse related sirf 5 sawal thai... and for you there were 20!!!" She chuckled... "Aur wo bhi on stage thai!! humne decide nahi kiya tha tab tak iss live interview k baare mein... so why?? Aisa kyun??" She questioned... "Infact ajj subha he mujhe sirf tumhe interview karne k liye bohat gossip diya gaya jis mein se ek baat yeh bhi thi k you hardly visit any business parties and even if you do.. 10- 15 minutes!! thats it.." she narrowed here eyes..
"Pehli cheez... i hate these parties!!" He was too blunt.. " Infact!! mere type ka banda.. ussko aisi parties kabhi pasand a he nahi sakti..." He was too confident.. "Tum log enjoy karte ho aisi parties??? you both are from the same feild.." He asked the two...
"See..." He smiled on receiving a 'NO' look from both... "Jisko aisi parties pasand hain! wo mere friend circle mein kabhi nahi a sakta... I am allergic to such people kyunki main jab office se uth ta hun to mera kaam wohin khatam ho jata hai!! wo mere saath mere ghar nahi jaata.." He declared...
"Office mein agar mein boss hun wahan meri chalti hai to ghar pe to meri sunta he nahi hai koi... main he sunn raha hota hun sab ki..." He made a face...
"Haan to saara din sab ko sunane k baad ghar pe bhi na suno tum??? yeh kahan ka insaaf hai??" Rohail frowned...
"Yeh dekho... theek aise he mujhe ghar pe treat kuya jaata hai so no misconception!!" He made it clear... It was looking like the three time to time were forgetting that its a live show... " They were doing their daily bakwaas which everyone was liking and finding interesting...
"You are a distraction!! main kya baat kar rahi thi... tum kahan le gaye point!!" Nidhi frowned...
"So... Main apni personal knowledge ko side pe rakhti hun... these are one of the questions that were written on that paper so i am gona ask one... " She breathed... "We have heard that you have gotten engaged to Mr Malhotra's Daughter..." She smirked...
"Yeh topic aya!!! chalo... Answer them.." Rohail's face brighten up like a bulb...
"Oye Hoye!!!" Vikram hooted... " Shilpa.." He teased her..
"Maarugi main tumhe..." Shilpa hit him with a pillow..
"Pehli cheez... she carries her own identity!! Main jab pehli baar mila tha mujhe nahi pata tha k she was Mr Malhotra's daughter.. pata hota to second mulaqat kabhi honi he nahi thi coz maine apna pehla interview Mr Malhotra ko he diya tha aurrr jese he unhun ne mujhe appointment letter diya... main unhi ki table pe rakh k wapas agaya tha kyunki mera kuch Dad k saath commitment tha!! humari bet lagi thi jo mein haar gaya tha!!" He made a face whereas whole unit behind the camera started laughing along with Nidhi and Rohail...
"There is nothing to laugh..." He glared at all...
"Haan... to she carries her own identity.." Rohail tried to get a hold over his laugh...
"So.. yess!!" He rubbed his hands togather.. " I am not denying... i am engaged to her.."
"Long distance relationship?? it works?? all okay??" Now this was something Nidhi was asked to question Armaan through the microphone she was wearing in her ear..
"See... Shilpa is somewhat very similar to me. aurrr it depends how people handle their relationships.. i guess we are doing a pretty good job!!" He was bound to talk about her as Ajay's incident made it clear to him that sometimes you have to show whats yours...
"wow!!!" Amit whistled looking at Shilpa...
"Jiju mood mein hain ajj.." Muskaan commented...
"Mere haathon mein kaafi khugli ho rahi hai... ek ek dun kya??" Shilpa gritted her teeth...
...
"Ahem!! Iss topic pe main purposely lai.. kyunki this morning... i received a list of rumors about you which are surrounded all over the market and i think you would like to clear them out.." She gulped the lump in her throat...
"Ahm..." Armaan asked her to go on while having a sip of his juice...
"Rumor one... you got married secretly to someone!! After your engagement" Nidhi found it hard to hide her smile..
"Haan!!" He nodded in a yes..
"Huh??" Muskaan's eyes came out wheras Shilpa prefered to just listen to him... these rumors thing made not only her but all the ladies allert...
"Hahahaha!!" Vikas started laughing and so as Billy, Arjun and Shashank at their places...
"What??" Rohail was shocked... He heard nothing like this before...
"Bohat interesting kahani hai yeh... someone's ID.. 'TomBangali'" Now he was upto his revenge with Mr Singhaniya!!! "Aurrr ek number hai jahan se mere ghar pe calls gaye thai... aur sirf mere he ghar pe nahi gaye thai... Mr Malhotra k pass bhi gaye thai aur phirr Mauritius mein mere ghar pe achanak chapa bhi pada tha..." He was coming with details making everyone jump...
"Aurrr i was married to???" He asked Nidhi...
"Mini.." Nidhi tried to maintain her posture...
"Mini... " He grinned... "Mini is actually my friend's little kitten... Aurr chapa maarne walon ko bada afsos hua tha yeh jaan k... k wo India se travel kar k Mauritius tak sirf ek billi ko milne aye hain!! Infact when i came to know about it i freaked out... And my dad... OMG!! i literally jumped up over him when i got the real reason of his visit... he was sleeping at that moment and he was like.. "Ab agar shaadi karli hai to khidki se kood jao aur nahi ki hai to mujhe sone do.." He made a face...
"Hahahahhaa!!! I didn't knew this.." Rohail held his stomach...
"I was annoyed..." He gave a dead look to Rohail... "I mean iss aadmi ko mujhse kitna pyaar hai... rumors dekho mere baare mein urr rahe hain and i feel like a unknown celebrity..." He went sarcastic... "Matlab rumor uraane se pehle background to check karna chahiye ek insaan ka..."
"Hawww..." Shilpa covered her mouth... Now Shashank's visit was making sense to her wheras on the other hand Shashank was laughing plus shocked too as he didn't expected Armaan to reveal all this on National Television...
...
"Hahahaha!! Okay... Then you started dating someone else!!" Nidhi bit her lower lip.. she just got all this info in the morning or else she was not even aware about it...
"Haan!! i heard it and i called my best friend.. and i was like.. ' you know what??' he asked what??'... "Do you know i am dating your wife??.." and he yelled.."Teri to life barbad!!" Armaan enacted the way Vikas reacted..
"Opps!!" Nidhi covered her mouth...
"What???" Piya's eyes came out, she knew this was about her...
"Ye kya hai??" She glared at Vikas...
"Tum gussa karti isliye tumhe nahi bataya..." Vikas was ready to have a session...
"Main chorungi nahi iss singhaniya ko... samajhta kya hai khud ko??" Piya was ready to kill Armaan, Vikas and Singhaniya...
"She is like a sister to me... mother of a child and i was like... hadd hai!" Armaan snored... his temper was slowly rising..
"She know this??" Nidhi asked controlling her laugh whereas Rohail was simply blinking his eyes slowly at Armaan... he was too shocked...
"Yeh kiski baat kar raha hai??" People sitting at Mallik residence were confused and Billy, Arjun didn't bothered to clear it out though they knew it must be Vikas's wife...
"Usko pata chal jata to phir humay iss Tom Bangali to protection dena parta.." Armaan joked... "But on serious note.. it was highly.. kya kahun main?? offensive kyunki i have countable freinds.. mere friends wohi hote hain jo mere jese hote hain aur ginti k hain jinse main contact mein reh sakun... Aur un sab ki wives... Abhi or anyone... Kahin na kahin hum sab ek friend circle mein thai so they are very... ummm matlab they all are like family members... Aur yeh jin ke saath mere affair ki baat ho rahi thi she is one of that kind jo subha k chaar baje mere kamre mein dhmake k saath entry maare.. apna bacha pakraye aur mujh pe cheekh k jaye k issko sambhalo aur mujhe ab uthana nahi.." Armaan explained his and Piya's bonding... He didn't wanted to but he had to backfire on Ajay...
"Technically dekha jaye to ek same age bhabhi k saath jo rishta hota hai wo hai mera uske saath... Main bardasht nahi karun uske against koi ulti seedhi baat aur yaha mera he uske saath link up chal raha hai... Hadd hoti hai!!" His face was showing how pissed off he was...
"So that means you can take care of children as well.." Nidhi joked to lighten up his mood...
"Haan!! aur koi kaam thodi hai mere pass.. i sit at home and take care of babies..." He replied in the same tone in which Nidhi asked him... "Your baby!!" He added looking at Rohail which literally made Nidhi laugh coz she got it and Rohail didn't...
"Hahahaha" Vikas, Piya, Sid.. There were laughing like maniacs individually...
"Yeh sab main ajj he sunn raha hun hmm..." Rohail made it clear with widen eyes and took his glass to finish the juice...
"Okay!! the last one... yeh do din phele aya hai!!" Nidhi bit her lower lip...
"Don't even start... this was the limit cross.." Armaan became serious...
"I too freaked out when i read that!!" Nidhi cleared the air..
"Nahi nahi nahi... mujhe sunna hai yeh... billi, bhabhi aur isse agay ab kya ho sakta hai?? agar yeh limit thi to phir limit cross kya hai?" Rohail frowned..
"Did you heard that?? i am dating Aliya.." Armaan blurted out and Rohail spitted out the juice was drinking which everyone saw...
"Take a Break!!" Nidhi immediately went for a break...
...
"WHAT???" Rohail yelled.. this was the overdose of a shock and Armaan Nidhi were quiet sitting expressionless...
"Tum kyun uchal rahe ho itna?? I am not saying anything.." Armaan was testing Rohail's patience now...
"Anddd you better clear the mess out about my relations with her..." He warned Nidhi...
"Maine sirf Rohail k expressions pe break liya hai warna nahi leyna tha.." Nidhi confessed...
"Yeh kya bakwaas hai?? kahan se arahe hain yeh rumors?? maine to aj tak nahi sunne..." Rohail yelled...
"O bhai!! Maine bhi nahi sune thaii... subha parhe hain! Lekin iski knowledge dekho... isko sab pata hai.." Nidhi rolled her tongue inside...
"Achaw!! matlab mere baare mein baat chal rahi hai aur mujhe nahi pata hona chahiye... " Armaan glared at the two...
"This is disgusting!!" Rohail held his head... For him Aliya has taken that place in his heart which was making him feel frustrated..
"This is ridiculous... Aliya??" Piya almost yelled out...
"Yaar yeh to mujhe bhi nahi pata tha... I mean Yeh Singhaniya itna khiska hua hai?? wow!!" Vikas shook his head...
"Aur yeh Tv pe kyun bol raha hai sab???" Piya found it even more weird...
"Must be a reason behind... Warna Shilpa ka bhi zikar i don't think hona chahiye tha yahan..." Vikas was even finding this abnormal...
"Aur mujhe laga tha k sirf mere saath yeh sab ho raha hai... Yeh ajay psycho hai!! I mean baat yahan tak pohunch gayi thi k papa ne iss tarah Armaan pe nazar rakhni chahi... Agar wo photographs unke haath lag jaati to?? Mere saath bhi kuch oot patang ho jana tha.. Thank God!! Time pe baat hogayi Armaan se... Aur shayad isiliye ek baar bhi mujhe question nahi kiya unhun ne..." Shilpa bit her lower lip...
"Lekin mujhe yeh sab pata hona chahiye tha naa??" She became furious.. "Ane do.. ache se batati hun..." She gritted her teeth...
"But that is disgusting!! He is dating Aliya!! Chiii... Rumor spread karne se pehle waqai chaan been kar leyni chahiye.." She shook her head...
Others at Malliks and Malhotra's were pretty shokced on this... Rumors like these about Armaan... they didn't even knew it.. At the moment Shashank, Arjun and Billy were the at the hot seat bombarded with questions by family members...
...
"We took a break on a really disgusting note as its really terrible for any brother to hear out a rumor about himself that he is dating his own sister... Aaa i don't know what other people think buttt these are some senseless rumors that people create out of jealousy and without even searching properly the real background..." Nidhi started the show again...
"Aurrr aisa har feild mein hai k rumors uth te hain!! lekin i really wanted to adivce k next time atleast rumor uraane se pehle background check karlo yaar.." Nidhi almost pleaded onscreen...
"Seriously!! i felt like other thing than human that i got married to a cat!!" Armaan made a face which brought smile to everyones face... he was again in fun mood... "Aur mujhe ek cheez samajh nahi ati k... why the hell i am not dating my own fiance?? why i havent gotten secretly married to her?? Why no linkups with her?? and why the hell i am dating a married woman who is also a mother of a child??? i mean jin ke saath mein kabhi nahi ho sakta main un sab ko date kar raha hun!!" He gave a fishy look..
"Hahahahaha!! i need to meet this tom bangali!!" Rohail laughed... He was much normal now
Openly they were talking about Ajay and Ajay was in a mess.. He didn't expecting Armaan to find out everything and was even feeling like killing his people who didn't bothered to do their work properly.. He asked them to keep an eye on Armaan which turned out impossible and so they just delivered the names they heard... It was a funny conversation between Vikas and Armaan in a restuarant where they were talking in their own style...
Any stranger who would try to overhear something will definitly misinterprete as they were so on talking rubbish.. And this is what exactly happend.. Three names were heard... Mini, Piya and Aliya and somewhat the kind of conversation going on between Armaan and Vikas made Ajay's people clear that these are girls he hangs out alot with and so they delivered the names and rumors came out like these...
Somewhere Ajay was just hoping that Armaan didn't knew who is this Tom Bangali... Whole world was laughing over that name...
"Would it really be difficult if you would even like to commit something like this??" Nidhi questioned out of blue...
"You really think so??? I have my money.. i don't need anybody's support i can do whatever i want and even if agar mujhe shaadi karni he hai to mujhe chup k karne ki kya zaroorat hai??? koi kya ukhaar lega mera??" Armaan questioned back.. "And even if i am dating someone, you really think people sitting here can catch me on that??"
"Point!!" Nidhi smiled nodding in a yes...
"The only thing why i am engaged to that girl is..." He didn't wanted to take Shilpa's name again and again.. "Because i wanted to.. Aurrr mujhe jisko date pe le k jaana chahiye ussko outing pe bhi main mushkil se do chaar baar he le k gaya honga aur yahan khabren hain k mein aire gaire har ek ko date pe le k ja raha hai... I mean bada time hai mere pass!!! Aur yeh aya kahan se mujhe abhi tak samajh nahi aya.." He pouted...
"Cut it out!! No sensible girl can date you!!" Rohail announced...
"Hain!!" Nidhi was not expecting this...
"Haan... mujhe batao har baat pe ek to taunt!! Oppar se masroof insaan kaam k waqt duniya bhool jata hai... free kisi k bhi saath free mein hota nahi... Lunch ye nahi karte... Oppar se wo jo abhi coarse chal raha tha... Anddd iss shaks ka koi bharosa nahi hai... abhi yahan betha hai, kal new york mein hoga.. parson phir kahin aur... to jisko khud apne agle ek minute ka pata nahi hota, Mujhe batao kaun??? kaun pagal banne ki jurrat karne wala hai?? Do minute mein to bezzati ho jaye insaan ki.." Rohail questioned Nidhi...
"Still he got engaged!!" Nidhi giggled..
"Wo to is liye kyunki donow he tedhe dimagh k hain... families beech mein parr gayi warna to kuch nahi hona tha... migrane he hota rehta!!" Rohail taunted Armaan...
"Iski to main... yeh wapas to aye!!" Shilpa yelled over Rohail...
"Hahahaha!! Pollein khol raha hai tum donow ki.." Amit teased Shilpa...
"Yeh to pittay gaa.." Shilpa gritted her teeth...
"Why the hell are you so busy??? So much work, so much travelling why??" It just came out of Nidhi's mouth...
"Dekho... yeh bohat simple hai!! People work because they have to earn lekin i work because i love it.. I am doing what i am passionate about thats the reason why i am never stressed..." He spoke out the truth.. "Anddd once you get married, your responsibilities increase and you are no more a free bird.. So, you can explore yourself, you can experiment with yourself..." Pause "Mujhe pata hai mere peeche log hain jo mere hisse ki responsibilities abhi sambhal sakte hain and so i am carefree about that... Anddd.. i know that i hae to put a full stop to it soon and return back lekin jab tak time hai why shouldn't i explore myself more and more??" He sounded honest to everyone...
"Once my time will be over.. it will be their time to go and explore themselves." He referred about Rahul and Rohail...
"Chirr nahi ati kabhi??" Nidhi asked Rohail...
"Chirrr..." Rohail corrected his collar.. "He is always a call away.. to kya chirr ayegi?? Jab jahan zaroorat hoti hai time pe pohunch jata hai.. Bada hai to uski uss tarah ki responsibilities bhi hain.. anddd wo nibhata hai..." He bit his lower lip.. "Raat ko teen chaar bajay bhi i know we can knock up to him no matter whereever he is and he is there definitly after shouting" He giggled.. "But he is there.."
"Burai kya hai iss mein phir???" Ni gritted her teeth...
"Ek ho to bataoon... taane app free mein inse har waqt sunn sakte hain!! Aurrr usually humay jab gussa ata hai ti hum nikalte hain... yeh sahab jama karte rehte hain aurr phir jab end mein lava phoot ta hai to buss phir aadmi dobara nahi milna chahe gaa.. " Rohail rolled his eyes..
"Guys!! main abhi bhi hun yahan..." He thought to make the two remember as they were talking about him as if he is not there...
"Hahaha!! Acha as we say, 'Behind every successful man there is a woman!!" Whats you take on that??" Nidhi questioned Armaan...
"Behing every unsuccessful man also there is a woman!" Armaan snapped back...
"Why did i even asked u this??" Nidhi rolled her eyes...
"You tell me... whats your take on this??" She asked Rohail...
"Same one?? " Rohail conformed...
"Yup!!" She nodded...
"Ab successful/unsuccessful ka to mujhe pata nahi.. lekin its a universal fact that Behind every man and woman there is a woman!! You can't change it!!" And that was the epic answer which made even Armaan laugh...
"Matlab... koi seedha jawab nahi milega tum logon ki taraf se??" Nidhi held her head... "Anddd what kind of a girl you think you want in your life??" She again asked Rohail generally...
"Wo jo apni zindagii jiye aur mujhe meri jeene de.." A blunt answer by Rohail again...
"Issko bolo... isse apni thinking change karni padegi!! warna iski gadi kese chalegii??" Sid laughed typing the message to Armaan...
"Hahahahaha!!" Rahul gave a high five to Mayank... They were laughing on Rohail and Armaan's answers...
"Acha... where do you see your youngers brothers professionally?? i want this answer to be geniun" Nidhi questioned relaxing her back..
"Rahul... is good in managing thing and Rohail in presenting!! Aur in donow cheezon k bagair kuch nahi hota hai life mein..." He scratched his cheek.. "So.. i cannot compare them with eachother kyunki unke departments he different hain... lekinnn... where they stand right now, i was way back when i was at their age.." He confessed...
"Why do you feel so??" Rohail questioned instead of Nidhi...
"Technology!!! Uss waqt jo kuch nahi tha abhi sab kuch hai!!" Armaan smiled...
"Diplomatic tha yeh.." Ni stretched her side lip...
"Yaar!! We are not even of the same age.. How can anyone even compare us??" Rohail's question was logical...
Still one hour was left and Nidhi had no idea what to ask next... everything was already done!! "Yahan abhi tak.. you both have talked alot about eachother... Aurrr its giving an impact how ideal bachelours should be... so, i just wana ask.. Are you an easy person to live with??" She pointed at Armaan...
"I am an easy person to get along with!!! And that too even if i want!!" Armaan was answering while thinking... "Bttt...no!! i am not an easy person to live with!"
"Anddd This is the most geniun answer he has given during this entire conversation!!" Rohail clapped...
"Hahaha.." Nidhi giggled...
"Yeh shaks... Subha chiriyun kawon k saath uth ta hai!! Aur poori koshish hoti hai k ghar mein jitne log bhi hain wo sab bhi uth jaen.. isliye jab yeh ghar mein hote hain hum apne darwaze lock kar k sote hain!!" Rohail gave a dead look to to Armaan...
"Yeh to mujhe bhi janna hai!! why?" Somewhere deep down Nidhi's wish came up to collect this answer form him...
"Have you ever experienced seeing the black sky turn into dark blue and then light blue??? Sunrise kese miss kar sakta hai koi.. thats the real beauty!!" He almost announced...
"What??" came out of Nidhi's mouth...
"Lo... sunn lo.." Rohail rolled his eyes...
"Haan... i really like to see all this scene from my terrace.. It gives me a fresh feeling.." He chuckled..
"Let me explain warna log pagal samjhenge.." Rohail thought to save the day... "Zahir hai apne chajje pe kahde ho k kisi ko iss tarah jagah jagah taar latke dekhne ka koi shawk nahi hai!! Its just that k humari jo housing street hai.. wo two way street hai jahan beech mein line se darakht lagaye hue hain aur donow lanes mein jitne bhi ghar hain... har ghar k agay ek darakht hai!! to kaafi greenry hain uss area mein.." Rohail explained...
"Haan and i like that..." Armaan nodded pressing his lips togather... "Aurr my grandmom!! unhe kaafi shawk hain planting ka so.. lawn, outer walls, terrace walls kaafi... hari bhari hai humari." He added...
"An unforgattable moment??" Nidhi pointed at Rohail...
"Ummm" He took a minute to think.. "I think it was when... i don't know, there are many.."
"The recent one..." Nidhi made it easy...
"I didn't knew he was nominated!!" Rohail clipped making Ni smile...
"And yours recent one??" She questioned the came from Armaan...
"Rainfall, Waterfall, DownFall.. Altogather!!" This was exclusively for Shilpa... He reffered about the kiss and only she can get this...
"OMG!!!" Shilpa covered her face in her palms and quietly sneaked out of the hall... She was blushing hard. "This man!!" She knew this was for her... It was their private moment and nobody can ever know about it...
"So you are kind of a environment friendly! nature loving guy!!" Nidhi gave a tired look to him...
"Yup!!" He stretched his lips...
"Ab mujhe batao... who is going to date him??? " Rohail asked Nidhi..
"No one!!" Nidhi rolled her eyes... "He just can't even pamper you guys... ladki to door ki baat hai!!"
And they were back after another break... "After you just received the award thodi garma garmi hogayi thi wahan neeche.. You think those allegations were somewhere right??" Nidhi was again asked to question him this during the break...
"That was lame!!! I know i went for an expensive qualification lekin Mallik Enterprises had nothing to do with that.. Even my family didn't knew i was doing that... I had my savings anddd after paying the fees mere pass aisa time agaya tha k i actually started waiting for my salary coz i had no money to deal with my monthly expenses..." He was again sounding very offended... "Effort mera, uss gore ki buk buk maine sunni.. parhai maine ki, paper maine diya... ab iss mein kisi ko kya takleef hai meri samajh se to bahar hai... If it looks like just a game of money... i dare them to go and do that!!" He openly challanged...
It was again a creepy trick of Ajay... Once Armaan was down from the stage, Ajay gathered up few more people and started discussing about him being misusing company's money to get additional settings in his CV...
Armaan overheard that and a heated argument took place there which ended with Armaan storming out of the place... That was the moment when he decided to play his game... Half of the questions Nidhi asked him were the once he told her to ask him...
By the end of the day Armaan and Rohail were done with their objectives.. They were successful in increasing the GoodWill of their company... Armaan was clean, Now people can actually think what kind of people work in Mallik Enterprises... Rahul, Abhi, Rohail, their bars were raised... Billy and Arjun were given clean chits and he even managed to create an impact that how strong and powerful he is as a person... The main thnig he was relaxed that atleast we won't be facing anymore rumors and Nidhi would surely not be a part of it.. Anddd Ms Shilpa Malhotra is his fiance.. He is engaged to her..
"Infact you were there... you did the same coarse.. From which angle was it easy?? tell me??" Armaan questioned back Nidhi...
"It was pathetic Armaan! please don't even start.. Job, classes then self study urgghhh!!" She shook her head.. "Life khatam hogayi thi meri to.."
"So... you think those allegation would have pleased me??" Practically a banter started between Armaan and Nidhi...
"I didn't say that... main thodi uth khadi hui thi allegation lagane?? You got the award, you got rivals... maine kahan kuch kaha hai??" She defended herself...
"Very Good!!! Bus yehi baaki reh gaya tha!!" Sid hit his head...
...
"One memory you would like to share about your student life..." Ni first looked at Armaan...
"Ummm...Once i was really tired and sleepy in the class and my professor just called out my name knowing i am not paying attention to what he is saying and asked me to solve a question on the board... I had no idea what he was teaching but still i went there and solved it right... My teacher immediately left the class and still i don't know why..." He bit his lower lip...
"Arre un bechare ki death hogayi... two months back.." Rohail revaled
"Huh???" Armaan jumped up... This was surely an unexpected news for him...
"Hmmm..." Rohail nodded in a yes...
"And yours??" Ni pointed at Rohail...
"I clearly remember... ek Computer based exam tha hum logon ka... I was sick, i failed and Rahul passed.." Rohail smiled... "Ghar pe function tha aurrr nahi bata paya main buss... socha k semister mein de dunga pata bhi nahi chalega kisko... Inko bata diya tha kyunki payement inhun ne he karni thi.." He giggled pointing at Armaan...
"Hehehe haa!! wo bhi scene tha.." Armaan laughed...
"I gave the exam again aurrr uss mein distinction agayi!! Aurrr Magazine mein chup gaya... phir jo parri hai ghar pe.." Rohail too laughed...
"Matlab jhoot sach ho ke bhi bhari parr gaya!!!" Nidhi smiled...
"Haan!! lekin padi iss pe thi k pehle wala result chupane ki kya zaroorat thi..." Armaan cleared...
"Ab meri ghalti thodi thi ghar mein itne saare log jama thai to?? Rahul ne bola he passed sab ko laga mera bhi paper nikal gaya!! poocha he nahi kisi ne mujhse kuch.." Rohail defended himself...
"Hehehe... Hhh" Ni took a deep breath... "Finally we are coming to and end... but itna sab janne k baad ab mein pooche bagair reh nahi sakti k is marriage on cards??"
"Yeh sawal!!!" Rohail hooted...
"Hhh.. i..." He sighed.. "I thinkkk.. i will soon be on cards, atleast i hope so.." He spoke out while thinking..
"You are hopeless!! tumhe to khud tumhari shaadi ka invitation milega!! dekh leyna.." Rohail patted on Armaan's shoulder...
"Ek personal sawal banta hai!! wo main poochungii..." Nidhi chuckled...
"Why am i even supposed to answer it??" He arched his eyebrow...
"Coz i am going to question it..." Rohail gave a mischevious look to Armaan...
"Just one..." Armaan warned...
"One thing you like about your girl!!" Nidhi laughed out as Rohail questioned what she was about to...
"Yeh sawal haina maze ka.." Muskaan clapped...
"Jawab ayega???" Vikram raised his brow...
"Ana chahiye yaar!!" Amit rubbed his chin...
"If... there is only one thing i like about her then why would she be my girl??" Armaan backfired...
"One thing you like the most about your girl??" Nidhi gritted her teeth and asked again...
"Dhung ka answrr de do ek add.." Rohail made a face...
"Ek sawal ki baat hui thi.." Armaan made them remember...
"Ehsaan kar do thoda.." Rohail pleaded...
"Ummm people might find it crazy or something.. lekin.." He paused... "I sometimes love the wa she retorts back at me" He clipped..
"Ooo" Vikram and Muskaan hooted whereas Shilpa's eyes came out...
"Hahahahaha!!" Vikas held his stomach...
"Hadd hogayi yaar.." Rahul burst out laughing along with others... It turned out kind of a 3 hour entertainment show...
Done with whole interview thing.. The three were out..
"Treat banti hai!! Amount barh gaya tumhara.." Armaan teased Nidhi..
"Chup kar jao!! Tumhare lutne ka waqt hai filhaal!!" Nidhi smacked on his shoulder...
"Haan!! Mujhe bhi bohat bhook lag rahi hai!!" Rohail rubbed his stomach.. It was about 11 at night...
"Mujhe to bohat neend a rahi hai, i am tired so i am gona go.. you guys enjoy!!" Nidhi excused out..
"Good Night!!" Armaan waved her..
"Treat to main apne style mein wese bhi le lungi!!" She warned and leaving them giggle walked away...
"So???" Armaan gave a questioning look to Rohail...
"Walk karte hain! Saamne mujhe Pizza parlour dikh raha hai!" He pointed...
"Haan yaar... bhook to mujhe bhi lai hai... chalo.." Armaan nodded in a yes...
"Bhai!!! yeh best friend wife thi kaun?? Nikki to nahi ho sakti.." Rohail asked...
"Arre piya thi yaar... Main Vikas ki baat kar raha tha.." Armaan smiled..
"OMG! Aur mera dimagh uss waqt se ghoome ja raha hai k pata nahi kaun naya dost agaya.." Rohail shook his head...
"Hhh Aliya ka kya??" Armaan thought to ask finally...
"Aliya ka kya hona hai?? " Rohail looked at Armaan while walking.. "I just hate to admit i fell for her!!" Rohail confessed...
"I am so sorry!!" Armaan gave a side hug to him... "Ab to tujhe ghareeb hone se koi nahi bacha sakta!!" He wiped off his fake tears...
"Kya??" Rohail frowned... he wasn't expecting this reaction...
"Bataya tha naa?? ajeeb o ghareeb funde hain uske.." Armaan closed his eyes...
"Bhaiii..." Rohail whined... They both were now at the door of the parlor..
Ordering the pizza, they both sat down taking a chair...
"To abhi tak ghar pe kisi ko kyun nahi pata hai?? Baat kyun nahi agay barhi hai??" Armaan asked seriously...
"Arre poocha he nahi kisi ne.." Rohail pouted...
"Are you serious??? tumhara dimagh kharab hai?? You were really waiting k tumse koi pooche ga to tum batao gay???" Armaan frowned...
"Tch!! nahiii... Butt mein Aliya se pehle baat karna chahta tha... Mujhe nahi pata wo mere baare mein kya sochti hia??" Rohail sighed...
"To kis baat ka wait hai??? baat karo..." Armaan narrowed his eyes...
"Kahan se karun??? phone number shayad change kar liya hai coz phone bund ata hai... Aur yeh baat wese bhi main amne saamne he karne wali hai." He sounded logical... "Main kisi ko beech mein involve nahi karna chahta..."
"Baat sahi hai tumhari... lekin ghar pe to bolo bewakoof!! Pata chala wahan uski kahin aur baat tey hogayi!!" Armaan felt helpless as he can't reveal about Aliya being with him in Mauritius...
"Ab hum yahan hain to kal subha i think i can talk to her..." Rohail smiled...
"Ummm par wo yahan nahi haina... i mean job lag gaya hai uska to... dehli se kahin bahar gayi hui hai aj kal... Aur number tum mujhse le sakte thai..." Armaan played safe...
"Khairr... door beth k mujhe tumhe kuch nahi batana tha... i was waiting k tum ao to main tumhe bolun.." Rohail cleared...
"O bhai!! chachi ko bata de... taake tumhara proposal to jaye... baat to baad mein bhi ho jayegi.." Armaan adviced...
"Pehle mujhe sid aur Aliya ki kahani clear karo..." Rohail made a face while taking a bite of his pizza which just arrived...
"Wo..." Armaan chuckled and Rohail got it!!
"Bhai!!!" He glared at Armaan...
"Ab mein kya karun?? saaf saaf dikh raha tha k tum uske peeche pagal ban chuke ho aur phir bhi line pe nahi arahe... To bus ek chota sa stunt pull kiya tha maine Sid k saath mil ke..." Armaan laughed...
"Hadd hai yaar!! meri neendein haraam kar di tum logon ne... zeher laga tha sid mujhe uss din..." Rohail gritted his teeth...
"Hahahaha!! tujhe pata hai... jab ni ne tujhse poocha aur tumne kaha k wo jo apni zindagii jiye aur mujhe meri jeene de... usspe Sid ka yeh message dekho.." Armaan Showed Rohail his phone where it was written "Issko bolo... isse apni thinking change karni padegi!! warna iski gadi kese chalegii??"
"Isski to main...mile to yeh mujhe.." Rohail passed a killing took to Armaan who was still laughing... "Aur tum mat haso zyaada... wo jo retort back haina?? pohcho to batayegii ache se.." He warned...
"Batayegii??? She is going to kill me for this..." Armaan smirked... "Mera asal interview to ab hone wala hai... usske haath!!" He sighed telling himself silently about the coming consequenses... It was her time to question him!
