ArSh FF 'Badmaash Dill'#5 - Page 4

Putting the key inside the keyhole, he tried to open the door which didn't opened up leaving him irritated... Putting his finger on the door bell, he pressed it hard and forgot to remove his finger away from it then...

"Kya hai?? sabar nahi hai??" An angry Aliya opened the door...
"Door latch kyun lagaya tha??" Sid narrowed his eyes at Aliya...

"Taake tum bell bajao!! Mujhe acha lagta hai bell ki awaaz sunna!!" Aliya blinked her eyes like a 90's heroin...

"Bechara Rohail!!!" Sid took a cold sigh..
"Ek aur baar naam liya naa?? to acha nahi hogaa!!" Aliya hit him on his back... "Aur yeh kya hai?? sirf bread la kar aye ho tum!!" She frowned at him...

"Nahi nahi!! Dekho mein tumhare liye kya laaya hun!!" Sid treated her like a baby passing a gift wrapped box to her...
"Yeh kya hai??" She passed a suspicious look to him...
"Kholo kholo... khol k dekho..." He handed over the box to her...

Passing some weird looks to him, she slowly opened the gift wrapp and found a folded frame inside..
"Photo Frame???" She narrowed her eyes... she wasn't expecting a photoframe in this but when she opened it up, she found Her picture in one and Rohail's in another...

"Main tumhe zindaa nahi chorungii!!!" Her jaw dropped down and now Sid's neck was in her hands... "Tum samajhte kya ho khud ko??? Tumhe zara sa Mom Dad k ideas k baare mein pata kya chal gaya to ab tum mujhe iss tarah se torture karoge???" She deepen her grip around his neck...

"Arre hatto..." He pushed her away... "Maine tumhare paise bachaye hain! you have any idea??" He grinned... "Ab issko tum sajana apne side table pe..Aur mujhe pata hai sirf mere saamne nautanki ho rahi hai! Dill mein to laddoo phoot rahe honge!!" He chuckled...

"Tumhara Sar!!!" She yelled...

"Tum dumb ho???" He arched his eyebrow...
"What???" She glared at him...
"Nahi i mean... Aisa ho he nahi sakta k Armaan ki engagement k time wahan kya kya chal raha tha tumhe iss baat ka andaza he nahi hua!!" He smiled sheepishly...

"Tum dafa ho jao... saamne mat aana ab mere..." She pointed a finger at him...
"O ho madam!! Bohat hogaya... Ab seedhi sharafat se jao... apni dieting ko bye bye bolo aur garam garam dhung kaa... desi khana bana k do... warna, yeh jo photo frame haina? isska photo khech k mein sab se pehle Rohail ko bhejungaa..." He warned...

"To tumhe lagta hai tum mujhe blackmail karoge ab???" She gritted her teeth...
"Tum mujhe bachpan se jaanti ho!! Bohat achi tarah se jaanti ho!! Tumhe pata hai mein aisa kar sakta hun Aliya!! Especially Rohail k saath to kar he sakta hun.. koi aur hota to shayad sochta!!" He smirked...

"Sid..." She became serious at once...

"Aliya!!! Kitchen..." He pointed towards the kitchen showing his teeth... Passing a grumpy look, she slowly walked inside the kitchen knowing at the moment she has no other option left...

"Aur namak mirchi ek dum barabar honi chahiye!!! samajh i???" He spoke out loudly... "Thoda bhi idhar udhar hua naa? To FaceBook pe zaroor kuch upload ho jayega!!" He warned teasingly...


...


About 12 in the dark, he reached upto his cottage from where he can see bright light coming outside... He opened the door and walked inside...
"Hello!!!" He sang and threw himself next to her..
She turned her face around to look at him with her narrow eyes and then yelled..."Shut Up!!!"
"Uhhh..." Not caring about her mood even a little, he stirred upward finding a support of her back for his... "Tum Shilpa ko leyna ja sakte ho... Abhi ko leyne ja sakte ho!! Unhe chorne ja sakte ho!! Aur MEIN???" She gritted her teeth...

"Tum kya?? Mujhe pata hai! yahan tak tumne araam se pohunch jana tha... Aurrr jahan tak darwaza kholne ki baat hai, to wo kaam to tumhare hairpin ne bhi araam se kar dena tha!! Aur wese bhi Tum by Car ayi ho!! So i was chilling out!!" He grinned...
"Armaan" She tried to push him away from her back...

"Ni please yaar!! Ab pakao nahi tum mujhe iss waqt..." He made a face...
"Really???" She rolled her tongue inside... "Lo apna mood tum aur acha kar lo..." She took her handbag which was lying near her knee and took out an envelop from it... "Your present!!" She passed that to him...
"Yeh kya hai ab??" He rubbed his chin with a frown and opened it up... "Abay yaar!!!" He hit his head against his palm... Same Shilpa Samrat photographs...

"Wow!!!" She clapped at them sarcastically... "Do you know yeh tumhare ghar tak pohunch gaye thai???" She arched her eyebrow...
"Buss!! yehi kasar baaki reh gayi thii..." He shook his head... "Aur mein time par nahi pohunchti... to koi khol chuka hota inhe..." She stretched her lips to form a sarcastic smile...

"Obviously!!! Mere naam ka courier jab ghar pohche aa... aur mein nahi honga to koi to khol he lega.." He rolled his eyes...
"Lekin iske originals ka kya??" She asked...
"Well... agar tum 100% ho!! to mein 80% hun!! Thodi bohat hacking to hum bhi kar leyte hain yaar!!" He praised himself...
"Haan!! Aur kuch logon k office mein dakka bhi parwa deyte hain!!" She coyed...
"Hahahahaaha!! Maanti ho k nahi??" He laughed...
"I mean main soch nahi sakti thi k tum yeh raasta nikaalo gay!!! You criminal mind!!!" She shook her head...

"Yaar dekho... shuru mein to Singhaniya ne humay bohat entertain kiya!! 'Tom Bangali!' koi ID banata hai iss naam ki??? cheap!!" He bit his lower lip... "Lekinnn ab uski harkatein kuch zyaada he oot patang hogayi hain!! Usse raaste se hatana zaroori ho gaya hai!! Warna you never know... kab main aut tum! newspaper mein saath saath honge..." He smirked whereas Nidhi pased him a dead look..

"Arre wah!! Tum cake layi ho!!" He got up as he saw the cake placed on the dining table...
"Maine socha!! Itna bada karnama anjaam diya hai tumne... mu meetha karwana chahiye tumhara to..." She got up just after him...
"How sweet of you!!" He giggled while cutting out a peice of cake for himself...
"Batao naa..." She slapped lightly on his back...
"Kyaaa??" He asked while taking a bite of his cake...

"Jab kaam nahi tha to kyun aye tum?? Itne dariya dill kese ho gaye?? Aur ek baat batao... Shilpa aur Abhi ko yahan laana zaroori tha??? koi aur jagah nahi mili thi???" She was serious now...

"Tch yaar!! Mujhe thodi pata tha wo Shilpa ko yahan bhej denge... Idiots!!" He made a face... He too became serious... "Kahin aur le k nahi ja sakta tah main..."

"Aur iss chakkar mein, usse ya Abhi ko kuch pata chal jata to??" She questioned...

"Ussko dekhte he pata lag gaya tha k wo zyaada yahan wahan nahi karegii... isliye usse befikr hoke meine yahan chor diya!! But..." He licked his lower lip... "Can you believe it? Ajay ne wo pictures usse bhi bheji thii???"

"Huh???" Nidhi's eyes came out...

"Haan... pehle wo mujhse darri hui thi lekin phir jhagra wagra sab ho ha k humare beech sab sort out hogaya..." He further told her...
"Kya????" He mouth hung up... "Tab to phirr ussne freely ghoomna tha yahan...Humari poll khul jaato to??"

"Wo na ghoome isiliye poora din bahar ghumaya maine... Aur Abhi to kuch ghanto k liye aya tha... kaam khatam!! donow ko forun chalta kiya maine yahan se..." He took a deep breath of relief...

"Aur Tum???" She next came on him...

"Chor do yaar... buri buri khabrein hain!!" He pouted and again lied down on the sofa...
"Kya buri khabrein hai???" She came and sat down near him pushing him a bit...
"Huhhh..." He led out a deep breath... "Sid ko hum donow pe shuk hogaya hai!!" He atlast told her...
"What???" She jumped up...
"Haan... usse shuk ho gaya hai aur jab maine dekha k buss bohat khichdi pakk gayi hai uske dimagh mein aur ab wo direct a ke mujhe sawal karne wala hai, to main to kutt liya wahan se..." He blinked his eyes...
"No!!! Tumhe uske shuk ko door karna chahiye tha..." She hit him on his stomach...
"Acha???" He narrowed his eyes at her... "Kya door karta main?? Agar usse kisi aisi baat pe shuk hota jo nahi hoti tab to koi justification deta main... Ab jo hai!! usse ussi pe shuk hua hai to uski kya kahani bana k usse justification dun main???" He arched his eyebrows...

"O God!! Usse sab pata lag agaya to???" She gulped down the lump formed inside her throat...

"To humari lagg jayegi!! Ufff" He slapped his head... "Vikas Piya ko ajj tak shuk nahi hua hum pe... Yeh... Sid ko kese hogaya?? mujhe to yeh samajh nahi aya abhi tak..." He snored...

"Usse to hona he tha naa!!! bhale hum husband wife jesa koi relationship nahi rakhte... we are just like a house mate and nothing more lekin legally relationship to haina?? Wo mere baare mein choti chori cheezein notice karta hai!! Tumhe aur mujhe bhi closely kiya hoga..." She started burning up now...

"Ab kya karenge??" She bit her lower lip nervously...

"Mujhe pata hota k kya karna hai to wahan se bhaagta main??" He raised his shoulders carelessly in the air...

"Ahun... Mummaa..." She cried...

"Kya mumma?? affat to agayi hai ab... lagaye gay saath mein dimagh... sochen gay ab kuch... filhaal so jao.. ek bajj gaya hai!!" He said while looking in his wrist watch...

"Ab neend ayegi mujhe???" She scowled...
"Ab socho meri halaat... Oppar se mere sar pe to aur bhi tamashe thai!! meri neend ka kya??" He questioned out sarcastically...


...


"Oho ho ho!! Soya ja raha hai yahan maze see..." Nidhi gritted her teeth on finding Armaan sleeping peacefully in his sleeping bag on the rock...
"Yahan kyun so rahe ho tum??? floating bed le ke paani mein he kood k so jaate" She yelled in his ears...
"Tum so jaoa wahan ja ke..." A straight reply came telling her only his eyes are closed, he is not sleeping...
"Mujhe neend nahi arahi..." She huffed...
"Lekin mujhe arahi hai... sone do..." He said while turning his side...
"Tum... uthooo!!!!" She pulled away the pillow from him...
"Ni!! Bus bohat hogaya!! Ab khud bhi chain se so jao aur mujhe bhi sone do..." He pointed a finger at her while getting up...
"Kese so jaoon?? meri neend to tum uraa gaye!!" She glared at him...
"Bye!!" He stood up and pushed her in water...
"You!!!!" She punched in the water as he again lied down in his sleeping bag while closing his eyes... "Cheekh to aise rahi hai jese akele issi ki watt lagii hai!!" He blabbered...






"Good Morning!!" Shilpa chirped while joining everyone on the breakfast table...
"Oye hoye!! Ajj bada chehak rahi ho!!" Vikram made a comment...
"Lagta hai baat hogai hai!!" Vikas whispered to Piya..
"Tab phir wo nahi chehak raha hoga..." Piya giggled..

"Mere chehekne se tumhe koi problem hai??" Shilpa frowned at Vikram...
"Sound pollution phelta hai yaar.." Vikram teased her...
"I believe in domestic violence!!" Gritting her teeth, she hit him...
"Acha bus... beth jao chup chaap donow!! subha se shubha shuru ho jate ho!" Shashank stopped the two...

"Hehehehe!!" Muskaan controlled her giggle and leaned a little on Vikas's side.. "Ab Shilpa ka interview hoga!!"
"Ofcourse!! Nani k sawalon se kaun bach sakta hai?" Vikas hid his smile..

"Piya bhabhi ka bhi test hone wala hai!! Ajj wo bhi gayi!!" She added...

"Tab to aur tafreeh ayegii!!" He winked at her..

"Tum akele thi wahan???" Dadi's rapid fire started...
This sudden thing left Shilpa flabbergusted... She looked at Shashank for some help... "Nahi!!!" Shilpa shook her head in a no.. "Samaan bhi tha saath mein!!" She added making everyone crack up...

"Dadi!! Main koi ghoomnne thodi na gayi thi wahan... office k kaam se gayi thi, office k log thai wahan!! Kaam khatam kiya aur wapas agayi" Shilpa criped up again...
"Aur Itna hassna sehat k liye acha nahi hota hai!!" She smacked again on Vikram's shoulder...
"Ouch!!!" She hissed in pain as Vikram hit her feet under the table... "Dekho ab main bilkul nahi hassa..." He gave a puppy look to her making her red with anger... "Yeh expression bohat suit karta hai tumhe!!" He added with a grinn...

...


"Mujhe nahi jaanaaa" Nidhi cried fake...
"Stop it yaar!!" Armaan made a face while wearing his wrist watch..
"Mujhe darr lag raha hai... Sid ne call kiya to??" She bit her lower lip nervously..
"Bhae nahi karega call!! Nahi poochega wo tumse kuch, usse jo poochna hai mujhse he pooche ga..." He was irritated by now...
"Poocha to??" She sat down on the dresser with a displeased look on her face...

"To bol dena time nahi hai!! Aur ab jaldi karo humay bhaagna hai!!" He said while keeping his walet inside his pocket.."Aur yeh kya pehna hai tumne?? change karo ja ke.." He frowned as he noticed what she was wearing...
"Kya?? sahi to hai??" She acted cranky..
"Nidhi!!!" He stopped and glared at her...
"Okay fine..." She gave up and moved to pick some jeans and shirt for herself..

After the breakfast, the two of them moved out of the cottage locking it up... After having some food, she was feeling and behaving much better now, The remaining missings got cured by the fresh air and the surrounded greenry...

"Acha i have something really important to tell you!!" She told him...
"Kya??" He asked turning towards her...
"Ummm actually Dehli wali deal k jab papers sign karwane gayi thi mein tab.. wahan kuch mile thai kharus kism k log mujhe aur meraaa.." She paused..
"Phir jhagra hogaya kisi se??? Tu itne pange kyun leyti hai yaar?? Main thuk gaya hun sambhal sambhal ke.." He scolded her...
"Lekinn... mujhe faida hua iss baar panga le k... tum suno to.." She tried to defend herself...
"Go on..." He rolled his eyes...
"Wo award function hone wala haina?? Business Acheivment and all..." She gave him some reference...
"To??" He raised his shoulders carelessly...
"To they want me to anchor it... unhe lagta hai k main acha bolti hun and even i know much about the industry and i can go on live kyunki abhi tak jury k ilaawa kisi ko nahi pata hai k kaun kaun nominated hai exactly since jo jo nominated hai un sab ko sirf emails gaye thai.. The one who showed up are in the news but ho sakta hai koi chup bhi betha ho..." She explained...

"Paise ache de rahe hain to karlo..." He gave some genuine advice...

"Wo to de rahe hain!! lekin yaar abhi tak jo naam saamne aye haina? un mein se ek Singhaniya ka bhi hai... Aur uske jeetne k chances kaafi strong hain!! Agar wo jeet gaya to..." She made a face.. "Main usko interview nahi karungiii!!"

"Hahahahaha!! Beta loan repay karna hai ya nahi??" He laughed... "Jahan se jo mil raha hai utha lo aur jitni jaldi ho sake farigh ho isse... We have more problems to face.." He rolled his eyes passing angry look to her...

"To maine kab kaha k mein nahi karungii??? i just wanted your opinion thats it!!" She pouted...
"Kisi aur ko bataya??" He further asked while taking a right turn...
"Nahii... kisi ko nahi!! Sure he nahi thi k karun ya nahi... Tumhara he wait kar rahi thi k tumse pooch k decide karun.. Ab unko call kar k conform kar deti hun!!" She smiled..

"Baad mein karna... Abhi hum pohunch gaye hain!!" He stopped her pointing infront...


...


"How was the experience?? banda theek hai??" Rahul inquired about the deal from both Abhi and Shilpa who were up on some discussion regarding the same matter...

"Agar deal se related pooch rahe ho to yes parth is very good!! Humay sahi waqt par sahi cheez mil gayi hai lekin agar apne bhai k baare mein pooch rahe ho to khud ek round laga k ajao!! Trust me you will start freaking out!!" Abhi chuckled

"Now what he did???" Rahul gave a tired look to them...

"I think he is on an advanture spree... I don't know wo wahan kaam kar raha hai ya picnic mana raha hai!!" Abhi shook his head...
"Wo wahan kya kar raha hai Shilpa???" Rahul knew Abhi won't tell straight...

"I don't know... Tum log apni fankarriyun mein mujhe mat khecho..." She warned...

"Hahahaha!! You know what?? jo jahan rehta hai no doubt is a very very lovely place!! Infact kisi ko chill out karna ho naa to wahan ja k rahe.. but wo ek dum sunsaan jagah hai!! meine to jaate he poocha k kaunse karname anjaam de k under ground hue wey ho tum!!" Abhi described the place...

"Aur uske timings kis kism k hain??" Rahul narrowed his eyes...
"Subha se gayab aur raat mein i guess 10 baje tak wapsi... mere saamne to aisi he thi.." Shilpa replied...
"Lo... sunn lo.." Abhi smirked...

"You know?? he called me at 3 yesterday!! Aur usspe bhi ajeeb baatein... infact baat kya honi thii itni tezz paani ki awaaz arahi thi.. pata nahi kahan betha tha..poochne pe bhi nahi bataya.." Rahul pass a dead look to both...

"Usske cottage k peeche... exactly cottage k peeche waterfall hai!! can you believe it??" Abhi arched his eyebrow... "Uss dinn Nikki ne usse uthane k liye phone kiya tha k Shilpa ko ja k pick karle ... tab ussne bhi pooche k paani ki awaaz kesi hai to bola Bohat tezz hai!!" Abhi further eloborated...

"Hahahahaha!! Ab aise jawab to expected haina??" Rahul laughed.. "Ache mein yeh dad ko de k ata hun!!" Rahul took away a file from the table and walked out...

"Shilpa!! Yeh news kisi keemat pe leakout nahi honi chahiye!! About the supplier okay!!" Abhi warned her before she could leave to which she nodded in a yes and walked out...




"Main yeh nahi pehn k jaane wali... just look at it yaar!!" Nidhi gave an eww look while pointing at the orange red traditional shiny saree...

"OMG!! Yeh kya hai?? yeh tumne pehna to main wese bhi tumhe nahi le k jaoonga apne saath..." He gave the most horrible expression ever...
"Main apni marzi se nahi utha k layi hun!!" She made a face...
"Let me check, mere liye kya aaya hai!!" He said while opened his packed..."OMG!!" His eyes came out... "Lungii!! Maine life mein nahi pehni hai kabhi... Main nahi pehhne wala yeh..." He threw it away...
"Hahahaahaha!!" Nidhi started laughing at his expressions... "Chalo abhi bhi late nahi hua... Mujhe pata hai humay kahan rent par dresses mil sakte hain!!" She clipped...

It was some wedding they both were invited in and at the moment the dresses were their main concern...

...


"No!! Mujhe nahi karna hai yeh.." Piya gave her angry looks to Vikas...
"Kya nahi karna hai??" Vikas arched his eyebrow, he just came out after a bath and was now dressing up...
"Mujhe nani ne sweet dish banane ko bola hai... buttt phir wo comparision a jayega sapna aise karti hai wese karti hai! mujhe nahi karna hai!!" She sat down on the bed with a sullen face...
"But you are master in that!! Tum wo karo jo sapna nahi karti.." He passed a chilled out look to her...
"Mujhe kya pata wo kya karti hai kya nahi karti?? And why should i even compare myself with her??" Piya frowned...

"Yaar piya! issue nahi hai itna koi jo tum bana rahi ho.." Vikas scolded her...
"You don't know it!! Mujhe nahi chahiye phirse wo sab kuch... And don't give me that look k main akele kaam karna pasand karti hun!!" She pointed a finger at him.. "Tum, Armaan, Sid! humesha mere sar pe charhe rehte ho!! And even if its not enough, Nidhi! Aliya! sab k saath mil k bohat baar bohat kuch organise kiya hai maine... I am not secretive!!!" She yelled...

"Tumhara mood kharab hai aur kuch nahi hai!! Maine naa aisa kuch kaha hai na koi safai maangi hai!! fuzul mein larr rahi ho!!" He too became angry now...
"Haan!! dill kar raha hai mera!!" She retorted back...

"Naha lo ja ke.." He shook his head at her and went out of the room...

"ARghhh!!!" She puched hard against the matress with a frustrating look on her face...


...


"Armaan!! Humara future kya hai??" They both were returning back after making an arrangement of their outfits...
"Ghanta!! Question Mark hai yaar ek bohat bada..." He sighed... They both got lost as the topic came up...
"Hhh.. Thuk gayi hun ghar walon se... sa se jhoot bol bol k!! Maine aisa to kabhi nahi chaha tha..." She sighed...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai?? iss tarah chup chup k... roz roz k yeh naye naye drame!! Acha lag raha hai mujhe??" He asked...
"Hum kab tak aisa karenge Armaan?? Ajj Sid ko shuk hua hai...Kal kisi aur ko hoga... Tab hum kya karenge??" She was feeling broken inside...

"Tummm... " He took a deep breath... "Agar Sid ka Mumbai chakkar lagta hai, to kya tumhare ghar wale engagement k liye tayyar ho jayenge??" He asked out of blue...

"Kya?? Yhe tum kya bol rahe ho??" She was shocked...

"Sahi bol raha hun!! Koshish ki thi naa humne door rakhne ki khudko ek doosre se?? nahi kar paye naa?? To phir.. jab tak deewaar nahi ayegii, yeh khatam nahi hoga... Ek akhri koshish he sahi..." He spoke out looking in front...

"Mujhe darr lag raha hai... kahin kuch!!" She licked her lower dried lip...

"Kuch nahi hoga... Lekin main bhi yahan nahi honga!! Kyunki agar mein yahan raha... to yeh sagai nahi hogii!!" He turned his face to look at her which was turning colorless...


...


"Kuch help karun??" Shilpa asked as she just stepped inside the kitchen to have some water but found an angry Piya sitting over there in some deep thought...
"Nahi... Thanks!!" She smiled fake and turned around...
"Inhe kya hogaya hai ab??" Shilpa bit her lower lip and gulping down the water went out of the kitchen...
"Bhabhi itna gusse mein kyun hain??" Shilpa asked Muskaan who was just passing bye...
"Nani bhi naa.. hadd karti hain kabhi kabhi... Abhi tak sab theek tha ab phir se wohi sapna bhabhi aur piya bhabhi mein comparision shuru kar diya! Itna barh charh k bolengi to kisi ko bhi bura lagg jayega!! Ab dekhna! wo jo bhi banaengii usko wo phir comparision mein daal dengii!!" Muskaan passed a disgusting look...

"Arre yaar!! yeh matlab, khatam nahi hoga naa iss ghar se..." Shilpa too became irritated...
"Even abhi subha Aadi ne doodh vomit kar diya tha to usspe unhe suna di k kese sambhal rahi ho? kya kar rahi ho!! Hadd hai matlab..." Muskaan shook her head...


"Ufff!!! Kya banaoon mein... Kuch naya banoongi jo yahan banta nahi hai! yeh nahi hai! wo nahi hai!!" Piya blabbered getting all heated up from inside... "Aur wohi sab ghissa pitta sab banaya to... phir comparision!!"

"Nidhi ko poochoon?? may be kuch acha idea de de!! usska dimagh bohat chalta hai iss sab jugar mein!!" Piya bit her lowerlip while thinking of a solution...


...

"Piya ka phone!!" Nidhi was surprised to see that... At the moment she was getting dressed up for the wedding ceremony she has to go and attend with Armaan...
"Hii!!" Nidhi smiled...
"Bye!!" She heard Piya from the other side who was sounding too low at the moment...
"TUmhare barah kyun bajay hue hain??" Nidhi asked while putting the phone on loud speaker and continued with her makeup...

"Suggest me a sweet dish!! Mujhe koi comparision nahi chahiye aur kuch aisa naya bhi nahi jo pehle unhun ne kabhi khaya naa ho!!" Piya huffed...
"Lo... shuru hogaya tumhara sab.." Nidhi shook her head... "Main kya batoon yaar?? Wahan rehne walon se help lo... Shilpa se pooch lo kuch!" Nidhi suggested...

"Main yeh sab Shilpa se bolun?? Dimagh sahi hai tumhara??" Piya scolded her...

"To tumne ghalat bunde ko phone kiya haina!! Infact ghalat time pe... Tumhe Aliya ko khatkana chahiye tha... Jab se Armaan ne usse uss cafe k plan mein daala hai wo kitchen experiments karti rehti hai!! Tumhi ne to bataya tha mujhe..." Nidhi guided her...

"Actually yeah!! Har friday usska icecream fix hota hai aur wo wahan baaki cheezon pe bhi investigate karti rehti hai!! perfect!! Thank you!!" Without even listening nay further she ended the call...


...


"Unko meetha khane ka itna shawk hai to cheeni khila do!!" Aliya pouted...
"Hehehe... Tum khilana apne susraal walon ko cheeni!!" Piya giggled.. Somehow Aliya did made up her mood...
"Aur ek baat batao, sirf ek sweet dish kyun?? sweet dish ki dukaan laga do!!" Aliya chuckled...
"Aliya!! Kuch dhung ka idea do mujhe..." Piya tried to make her serious...
"Mujhe khana hota naa to main velvet kheer banwati!!" Aliya went in her dream land...
"Velvet kheer???" Piya found it weird...
"Haan wo jo app banate ho usse meine innovative naam se diya hai! bus!!" She gleed..."Aap itna awesome velvet cake banati ho!! More like a professional.. ungli bhi nahi utha sakta koi!! Red velvet cake! Blus Velvet cake!! har color mein bana do... Mujhse kya pooch rahi ho??" Aliya smiled...

"O teri!! yeh kyun nahi socha maine??" Piya became excited...
"Kyunki app gusse mein thi!! uss main na to dimagh kaam karta hai aur naa kuch acha hota hai!!" Aliya blinked her eyes...
"Kisko advices de rahi ho?? Tumhare khud k pass dimagh hai kya??" Piya laughed out loud as she heard Sid's loud voice..
"Tumhara dimagh theek karti hun naa mein abhi a ke..." Aliya gritted her teeth...
"Hahaha!! Chalo tum log larro.. mein kaam pe lagoon!" Piya smiled and ended the call... "Ab thodi shopping ho jaye!!" She decided...

"Arre Shilpa! Muskaan!! Tum mein se koi mere saath bahar chalege?? mujhe kuch cheezein leyni hain!!" Piya asked as she found the two near the staircase...

"Aap banane kya wali ho??" Shilpa asked...

"Kaash tumhari dadi ko bana paati!!" She blabbered..
"Huh!!" Both Shilpa, Muskaan's jaw dropped down...
"Mera matlab hai!! kuch na kuch to bann he jayega! don't worry about that!!" She smiled correcting her tone... "Acha koi chalega kya?? mera kaam asaan ho jayega please!!" She requested...

"Haan!! App purse le ao.. chalte hain!!" Shilpa smiled...

"Ab nani ki wajah se Inke aur Sapna bhabhi k beech kabhi nahi banne wali!!" Muskaan rolled her eyes...
"I don't know.. but i like her alot.. Yahan zyaada khulli nahi hain but i think she is a fun person!! " Shilpa concluded...
"Fun??? She is hell of a fun person!! Office se time nikal k zara saath betho kabhi to pata chale... Tumhe pata nahi hai hum subha kitni masti karne mein lagay pade hote hain!!" Muskaan opened up Shilpa's vision... Somewhere near, Piya was successful in making her place...





"Kesa hai??" Piya asked giving a peice of cake to Muskaan to taste..
"How did you do this???" Muskaan's jaw dropped down... "Itna soft kese hai?? Maine nahi khaya kabhi.."

"Thank God!! Isspe to taane nahi milenge?" Piya blurted out..
"Oho bhabhi!! Ek kaan se sunn k doosre se nikaal diya karen... Aapko adat nahi hui abhi tak??" Muskaan questioned...
"Yaar mujhse comparision bardaasht nahi hota hai!! gussa ata hai.. Mujhe koi ladai jhagra nahi chahiye butt... bura lagta hai yaar!! " Piya opened up...

"Hmmm... sab ko lagta hai! lekin uska bhi ilaaj hai!!" She winked...
"Kya??" Piya passed a questioning look...
"Kisi aise se baat karlo jisse baat kar k sukoon mile... hassi aye, mood sahi ho jaye!! App ka bhi ho he gaya naa akhir??" She smiled...

"Wo to hai..." Piya giggled..."Chalo ab issko fridge mein rakh dete hain!!"

"Ek minute... iss blue wale ka taste different hai kya??" Muskaan licked her lower lip...
"Sab tum khalo gii to baaki kya khanege?? bohat mehnat lagti hai banane mein.." Piya gave passed a dramatic look...

"Hahahaha!! but seriously.. kese banaya?? mujhe recipe chahiye.." Muskaan demanded...

"Meri saalon ki mehnat hai yaar... Aur iss cake ko to meine bohat experiment kiya hai 5 logon pe... Bechare kha bhi leyte thai!! lekin phir at the end perfect ho he gaya!!" She smiled while putting one of the cake in the refrigerator...

"Wow!! Bann gaya??" Shilpa asked excitedly who just walked inside the kitchen...

"Haan!! Taste bhi kar liya aur tum late ho gai! Ab tumhe jo milega dinning table pe milega!!" Muskaan teased her...
"Not fair bhabhi!! Yeh apki bohat saggi lag rahi hai isko de diya??" Shilpa pouted cutely looking at Piya...

"Tum late i tumhari ghalti hai!!" Piya giggled and then took out a small bowl with something a bit think and white...
"Yeh kya hai??" Shilpa asked...

"Yeh?? yaar wo main banati hun mujhe pasand hai!! actually kheer thodi thick aur kum meethi bana k naa, mein jab bhi yeh velvet cake manati hun to velvet iss mein thoda sa mix kar deti hun... wahan sab ko pasand hai!! To bus abhi cake banaya to thoda sa bana lia!!" Piya smiled while passing the bowl to Shilpa if she would like to taste and it was gone...

"App to khati banati rehti ho naa?? mujhe khana hai yeh abhi.." Shilpa took it all away after tasting...
"Paani maanga tha tumse..." An angry Vikram walked inside shouting over Shilpa... "Kya khaane lagg gayi ho tum??" He snatched away the bowl from her...
"Vikram k bache wapas do mujhe..." Shilpa slapped his back...
"Wow!! Bhabhi appne banaya??" Vikram asked looking at Piya... "Yeh to banane se rahi!!" He showed his tongue to Shilpa...

"Wapas karo mujhe..." Shilpa snatched away again...

"Yeh iss waqt bilkul Aliya lag rahi hai mujhe.. wo aise he le k bhaagti hai!!" Piya was looking at Shilpa ashtonished...

"Ziddi!! Tumhari naa bilkul sahi jagah shaadi ho rahi hai!! theek kar dega do din mein tumhe..." Vikram gritted his teeth...

"Mujhe koi idea nahi tha k pasand ayega tum logon ko warna aur bana deti.." Piya passed a sorry look to Vikram!! She was liking the fact that atleast there is something which only she can do... Ofcourse it feels great to be unique sometimes!!


...


"Yeh Aliya hoti kahan hai?? Phone uthati nahi!! kitni baar baat karne ki koshish ki hai... number humesha off rehta hai! FB bhi deactivate hai... Aur kabhin hai nahi.." Rohail scratched his chin.. He was becoming suspicious about her...

"Kisi se poochna matlab.. azaab paalna!!" He sighed... "Aur yahan koi baat bhi to nahi karat ahi usske baare mein!! Abki bhai ayega naa... usko bolonga!! Bada shawk haina usse sab ki khabrein rakhne kaa... usko zaroor pata hoga!!"


...


Piya was in an awe, for the first time Vikas's nani praised her openly, didn't found any flaw in her cooking... "Maine aur tareef sunni to main behosh ho jaoongi!!" Piya blinked her eyes again and again which made Vikas laugh... he was getting what she was thinking... For so many years she have lived outside India, away from everyone... Though she knew everyone but there was no bonding between them.. She was finding it hard to adjust as sometimes she do feel like an outsider... Everyone here in India were busy in their routine life so much that she feels lonely sometimes... That bond, that connectivity was not there... Being honest she can proudly announce the Gathering present in Mauritius her family... Nidhi, Sid, Aliya, Armaan , Vikas... She can shout out loud at any of them... she can be herself only.. There was so much frankness between these guys... It was altogather another world there...

Here Vikas have bonds, he is never alone or free but she was..

"All Over??" Late Night, Piya received Nidhi's call...
"Haan yaar!! it was hectic.. what you doing??" Piya smiled while hanging the towel on the rope at the corner of the terrace...
"Kuch nahi... aise he bed pe a ke leyti thi abhi... socha tumhe poochon tumhara masla hall hua ya nahi.." Nidhi giggled...
"Haan mein bhi abhi naha k nikli thi.. towel bahar phelane ayi thi... Its hard yaar!!" Piya whined...
"Towel phelana??" Nidhi frowned...
"Hehehe pagal hai kya?? matlab kuch bhi..." Piya laughed...
"Tum baat he aise kar rahi ho main kya karun??" Nidhi too started laughing...

"Mere kehne ka matlab hai k mujhe adjust hone mein time lagg raha hai... Gussa bohat a raha hai aj kal yaar.. I can't be sweet all the time!!" Piya pressed her lips together...
"Ahan... shuru karo.." Nidhi gave a nodd...

"Yaar shaadi k baad Vikas k mom dad k saath he rahi hun... Matlab in rishtedaaron mein zyaada baat cheet he nahi hui meri kabhi... Ab Vikas k to roots hain bond hain.. mujhe akela akela lagta hai aksar... I am missing you guys!! Not to forget Armaan k taunts!! Hahaha" Piya laughed...

"Haan.. Aadt itni hogai hai naa hum logon ko... din nahi poora hota unke bagair!!" Nidhi giggled...

"Haan yaar... Wahan larr rahi hoti thi mein usse k kya hai?? tum taane diye bagair reh nahi sakte...Aur ab dekh lo!!" Piya rolled her tongue inside...

"Seriously!! pata hai? when i shifted to Australia naa?? TO ek pata nahi jhagra ho gaya tha mera kisi baat pe Sid se... Anddd Armaan just called me for something... aur beech mein ussne taana maara hai aur mein set hogai! Matlab mood all set! Sid bhi akhein phar phar k dekh raha tha k kya hogaya hai isko!!" Nidhi smiled...

"Hahahaha!! usski apni ek personality haina? bhool nahi sakta matlab app usko... And i wish main apni uss tarah ki jagah yahan bana paoon!!" Piya sighed...

"Arre tum bhi bohat badi cheez ho yaar... thoda waqt do khud ko, sab ho jayega!!" Nidhi gave her some moral support...
"Acha tum kal mujhe mill sakti ho??" Piya questioned...

"Umm main?? kyun??" Nidhi bit her baby finger nervously...

"Yaar mujhe thodi pata tha in logon k kisi relative ki shaadi beech mein a jayegii... Main uss tarah k kapre nahi layi.. Jewelry wagera bhi nahi layi kuch uss tarah ki... Ab mein khareedun is waste of time and money...Use he nahi hoga agay ja ke.. Yahan kisi se borrow karna! No!! I can't take that chance phir kuch chi choo ho gaya to masla ho jayega!! Armaan se bola tha... Uska India ka chakkar he nahi lag raha hai koi.. So, i thought may be you could help me..." Piya explained...

"Arre he will be there in 2-3 days... Samaan to saara bol diya tha naa tumne usse??" Nidhi inquired...
"Haan..., Arre you serious wo ane wala hai... Abhi shaam mein meri Aliya se baat hui thi ussne to kuch nahi kaha..." Piya frowned...

"Matlab Armaan already India mein hai.. Mumbai mein nahi hai, ajayega mumbai bhi ek do din mein.. I am sure samaan to laaya hoga tum logon ka..." Nidhi corrected...

"Tum phone rakho mujhe usko karna hai!!" Piya huffed...

"Hehehehe!! go ahead!!" Nidhi giggled and ended the call... "Wese yeh hai kahan??" Nidhi got up to see where Armaan is...


...


"Oye Hoye!! Mujhe miss kar rahi thii!!" Armaan spoke out dramatically...
"Haan!! dekh lo! Itna bura waqt agaya hai mera.." Piya giggled...
"Hahahahaha!! Acha samaan le aya hun tum logon ka.. Ab dekho mumbai ka lagayga ek do din mein chakkar..." He smiled...

"Vikas kya kar raha hai?? How is Aadi??" Armaan inquired after a while...

"Donow so gaye hain!! Aur Aadi ne itna tung kiya hai mujhe yahan mat poocho... Ek to tum aur Aliya usko nahi dikh rahe thaii aur oppar se yahan k itne saare log..." Piya sighed...

"Hota hai!! Tum bhi to jhinjhla rahi hogii..." He chuckled...

"Vikas se baat hui hai tumhari!!" Piya got it...

"Hahaha haan!! bata raha tha mujhe sab... Bechara!! keh raha tum already itna control kar rahi hoti ho... tumhe tung karne ka mauqa nahi milta usse..." Armaan teased her...

"Ussko mauqa nahi milta??? You actually believed him???" She narrowed her eyes...

"Agar Vikas ko aur jinke saath tum ho un logon ko nahi jaanta hota to i thinkkk... i would have believed him!!" Armaan coyed...
"Pata hai? ussne yahan kisi ko nahi bataya hai k wo tumhe jaanta hai..." Piya informed him more...

"Arre pata hai mujhe... aur wese bhi mein thodi naa uss ghar mein rehta hun jo mere baare mein har koi baat karega!!" He rolled his eyes...

"Hehehe... acha chalo ab mein bhi sone jaoon!! yahan to choice bhi nahi hai k vikas ko office bhej k so jaoon!!" She cried fake...
"Chalo bye!!" He hung up and moved out of the terrace...

"Nani k kamre ki light abhi tak jall rahi hai!!... ummm jaoon nahi jaoon??? shayad unhe kuch chahiye ho!!" Piya gave it a thought... "Dekh leyti hun.." She decided and headed forward...

Knocking the door, she slowly peeped inside and saw nani sitting down on her bed and constantly looking at something on her lap...
"Ummm... app k kamre ki light jall rahi thi... socha pooch lun app theek hain??" Piya hesitantly asked standing still at the doorstep...

"Tum itna darr darr k mujhse baat kyun karti ho??' Nani asked with wrinkles on her forehead making Piya stunn...
"Jee??" Came out of her mouth...
"Idhar ao... betho mere pass..." Nani's tone was a scolding one...
'Uhmmm.." biting her lower lip, piya slowly walked inside and came near the bed...
"Khadi kyun ho?? betho!" Nani held her hand and pulled her down...
"Mummaa!! maine kya kiya tha??? kahan phass gayi??" Piya mentally scolded herself feeling nervous...
"Tumhe darr lagta hai mujhse??" Nani narrowed her eyes...
"Jee!!" She blurted out innocently while looking down... "Nahi... mera matlab hai.." She bit her tongue realizing what sipped out of her mouth...

"Lagaoon naa tumhe mein ek..." Nani hit her lightly on her head... "Jagah banai parti hai!! aise he nahi mil jaati bethe bithaiye..." For the very first time she was feeling nani someone her very own...
"Maine kya kiya?? Bus wo pehli dafa gadbad hogai thi to usske baad main apko kabhi achi he nahi lagi..." It was still somewhere deep inside her which was hidden till now...
"Aur yeh tumne kese soch liya k tum mujhe kabhi achi nahi lagii??" Nani passed her an angry look...
Piya looked up at Nani's face and then again looked away, she didn't wanted to say anything on this topic which will create a new rift...
"Mom appse bohat pyaar karti thi!!" She slowly said in a low voice... "Larr le jhagarle kuch bhi kar le.. lekin Vikas ki jaan basti haii app mein... Main kisi ko hurt nahi karna chahti thi, kisi k beech nahi ana chahti thi... Uss din meri wajah se jo bhi hua, vikas jo app ki kisi baat ko naa nahi karta wo appse larra.. meri wajah se... to phir to main kese??" she left her sentence incomplete... Each and every word was coming out straight from her heart...

"Main wo jagah app logon k beech kabhi nahi bana payi jo Mom, khass kar k Vikas chahta tha k ho..." Piya got emotional and a tear escaped her eyes... "Zaroori to nahi hai k wo har baat mujhse kahe..."

"Kya tumne koshish ki apni jagah banane ki kabhi??" Nani was constantly looking at her face on which sadness was visible...
"Maine sirf dill jeetne ki koshish ki thi... tab to mom bhi mere saath thi aur ab... mujhe darr lagta hai!! main phirse apni wajah se app logon k beech koi doori nahi chahti..." She mananged to speak out...

"Aur isiliye tum sab se door door rehti ho..." Nani's tone was stern...

Piya kept quiet still looking down, she just realised she had flown with the emotions and had said everything she should have never said... "Ab agar inhun ne Vikas se kuch keh diya to??" Her heart escaped a beat... "Main yahan kyun ayi??"

"Tum naa bohat bewaqoof ladki ho!!" Nani hit her cheek lightly making her look up at her face in shock... "Itna sab dill mein chupa k bethi thi???"
"Jaanti ho?? tum mein mujhe Raina (Vikas's mother) ki jhalak dikhti hai...wo bhi tumhari he tarah thi... guzri purani baaton ko dill se laga k bethi rehti thii..."Nani smiled at her, caressing her cheek...

"Jab mujhe meri beti tum mein dikhti hai!! to phir tum mujhe pyaari kyun nahi lago gii?? Mere sab se ladle nati ki biwi ho!! sab se badi bahu!! Tumhara to roab hona chahiye sab parr.." Nani ended scolding her making her almost faint...

"Maanti hun! main thoda karwa bolti hun!! tumhari shaadi k khilaaf thi.. tumhe kabhi mauqa nahi diya agay ane kaa... ghaltiyaan meine bhi ki hain!! Lekin tumne apne app ko sabit kiya hai piya!!" Nani went soft...

"Main naraz to Vikas se thi... koi phone nahi kuch nahi.. lekin tum chahti to usse sab se itna door le jaati k wapas lautne k raaste he na rehte.. lekin tumne aisa kuch nahi kiya... Jo choti choti chezein karti ho naa tum jo tumhe lagta hai koi maine nahi rakhti... bohat maine rakhti hain piya!! Tum ek dum se chaa jaane walon mein se nahi ho... Tum un mein se ho jo ahista ahista apni aadat daal jate hain!!" Nani smiled... "Phirr unke bagair rehna mushkil ho jata hai!!"

"Ajj kal k daur mein jab maaein apne bachon ko kisi ko haath bhi nahi lagane deti, chun chun k fuzul k nakhre hote hain unke... ladkiyaan sasuraal mein rehna pasand nahi karti... Aur tum!!! Tum chahati to tumhe zaroorat nahi thi koi rishta nibhaane ki, kisi rishte mein sudhaar laane ki koshish karne ki lekin phir bhi tumne aisa kiya... Tumne chup chaap Aadi k saath wohi tareeke apnane shuru kar diye jo maine tumse kahe... tumne usse bhi kisi se door rakhne ki koshish nahi kii..." This was too much... Piya was looking at Nani like a dumb... "Inki tabeat waqai bohat kharab hogayi hai ajj.. Main itni apni kese hogayi inki??"

"Jab tumhara dill saaf hai, to phir kyun tum aisi fuzul ki cheezein sochti ho?? Ainda na sunoo mein yeh sab... Aur daanton gii to main tumhe phirr bhi... kyun na daaton?? badi bahu ho iss ghar kii... Aur jahan tak sapna se tumhari tulna karne ki baat hai to... to tumne kabhi socha hai k iss chakkar mein tum humesha sab se acha aur chaunka dene wala kaam kar deti ho??? Ajj bhi sirf kheer he banati agar main wo sab na kehti to.." Nani made a face making Piya smile...

"Aur haan!! ainda mujhe chup chaap na dikho tum!! badi bahu ho! roab hona chahiye tumhara sab par..Haq se karo jo karna hai!!" Again she scolded her.. "Ghar hai tumhara apna... agar aadi k raat mein uthne se neend poori nahi hoti to khud pe zulm karne ko kisne kaha hai?? wahan bhi aisa he karti ho??"

"Nahi.." Piya pouted... "Apka nati bohat jhagralu haii!! meri tie kahan hai? mera wallet kahan hai? meri shirt kahan hai?? saamne rakhi cheez nahi dikhti usko... Usko office bhej k so jati hun!!" She smiled inwardly on enjoying nani's expressions...

"Shararti kism ki ho tum!! pata hai mujhe..." Nani again patted her cheek lightly.. "Aur sapna ka tumse koi mukabla nahi hai!! samajh ayi??" Nani thought to clear it out once again...

Nodding in a yes, Piya just hugged her tight letting her few tears flow out... "Thank you!!" She smiled...

"Pagal ladki!! khabardaar jo ab aisa wesa kuch socha!! chalo ab ja k so jao... " Nani was back to her original tone but it looked so changed to Piya.. like a motherly one...

"Aur wo jo alag tarah ki kheer banayi thi tumne... Shilpa aur Vikram kha gaye saari... Kal dopahar k khaane pe milni chahiye mujhe.." She demanded making Piya grinn...

"Wese nani!!" Piya stopped in the mid way while going out... "Apka haath bohat zor se lagta hai!!" Piya pouted making nani glare at her to which she chuckled and ran out...

"Pagal!!" Nani shook her head...





Two Days Later...

There was a fight going around between Mallik Men and Women on kitchen stuff... It got started by Billy himself as he said something to Annanya which triggered her up and later the fight enlarged dragging Arjun, Tanya, Kartik, Pooja and Dadi into it.. It was a holiday and Rahul, Mayank and Rohail escaped out upstairs as they knew this is going to be a disaster...

"Dekho!! Mom log ko ajj bohat time k baad mauqa mila hai!! Wo nahi bakshne wali dad wagera ko..." Rohail commented...
"Arre jo bhi hai... free fund mein hum kyun phassen?? Chalo kahin bahar chalte hain!! yahan se cutt te hain thodi deir k liye..." Rahul adviced to which Mayank also agreed and walked down with them...

"Tum teenow kahan chale?? beth jao yahan..." Arjun scolded them...

"Mom kahan hain??" Rahul gulped down the lump in his throat...

"Gayi tumhari, mom, dadi, chachai, bhabhi sab bahar...unhe shopping jo karni hai ajj" Billy gritted his teeth..
"Achi baat hai!! to iss mein hum kya karen?? humay kyun jaane se ro kk diya??" Mayank managed to ask...

"Kyunki wo humay challange kar k gayi hain!! Dopahar ka khana aj hum log banaenge..." Arjun announced...

"Aap he ko mubarak ho!! app he banaiye gaa!! humay bakshiye... kisne bola tha panga leyna ko??" Rahul snored...

"Chup!!! Chalo ab jaldi jaldi net pe recipe dhoondo aur lago kaam pe..." He ordered...
"Kya??" Rohail yelled... "Hum kyun lagen?? jhagra appka?? challange appka!! aur mehnat hum karen??? wese bhi mujhe nahi ata yeh sab kaam..." He huffed...

"Jo keh raha hun utna karo... chalo uth jao..." Arjun said authoritaively..

"Haan!! humari ek ek baazi ho jaye... tab tak tum teenow chalo! lagao kaam pe.." Billy clicked his fingers...
"Hadd ho gayi!!" The four yelled...
"Kya hadd hogai?? Mera beta itna yaad araha hai mujhe iss waqt!! Mere ek ishaare pe kya kya nahi kar deta!! aur ek tum log ho!!" Billy bleaked..
"To ussi bete ko bula k kar waiye naa kaam!!" Rohail gritted his teeth...

"Chalo... lago kaam pe!! Unhe kya lagta hai?? hum ek din ka lunch tayyar nahi kar sakte??" Arjun etched...

"Ab yeh kya musibat hai!! Tujhe kisne bola tha pooja bhabhi ko involve karne ko aur pahelwaan banne ko??" The three glatred at Kartik...
"Maine kahan kuch kiya?? khud he ghaseet liya in logon ne..." Kartik defended himself...

"Aur haan!! roz ka dawal chawal sabzi nahi honi chahiye!! It has to be special!! innovative you know!!" Billy added while placing the chess board on the table...

"Haan haan!! Humne to master cheif jeeta haina!!!" Rohail rolled his eyes...


...


This time, Armaan and Nidhi were returning back from coorg by car... He stopped the car as soon as they entered in Mumbai premises...
"Ab tum drive karo... i am tired!!" He yawned...

"Kya hai yaar?? thoda sa to raast bacha hai..." She made a face..
"to thoda sa tum drive karlo naa... kya ho jayega??" He taunted in a baby tone...

"Arre abhi yaad aya mujhe.. Mr Crimal Mind!! Yeh jo Rahul, Abhi, Rohail nautanki fight thi... Isse market mein app he ne leak karwaya tha naa??" She said while starting the car... "Kyun apni Family ko sarak pe laane ki tayyari mein lagay pade ho?? Stock exchange dekha hai uss news k leak hone k baad se..." She scolded him...

"To?? supplier bhi to phir maine he provide kiya naa unhe.." He replied carelessly...
"Wohi to pooch rahi hun... plan kya hai tumhara??" She arched her eyebrow...
"You will see!!" He grinned...


...


"Abay ek ghante se dhoond raha hun!! jo kuch dhung ka mila ho aur asaan ho banane mein..." Mayank yelled out loud...
"Maggie bana lo..." Kartik taunted from a side...
"Tumhe kya lag araha hai?? Mazak chal raha hai yahan??" Rahul frowned... "Yeh sab humne nahi kiya naa?? to kal office mein aisa ginn ginn k badla nikalenge yeh donow k yaad rakho gay!! Hum jhel chuke hain!!"

"Yaar yeh kya kayi musibat hai!!" Kartik snored...

"Ek kaam karte hain!! " Rohail said while putting his laptop aside..."Kuch ready made utha k ley atay hain bazaar se.. usse bus garam karo aur hogaya... "

"Good Idea!!" Rahul and Mayank agreed...
"Bad Idea!! Challange karte hue yeh bhi bola tah k jo ghar mein hai ussi k saath kaam karna hai!! tumhe bahar nahi jaane denge wo.." Kartik made them aware of the hidden rule...

"Ufff!!!! Chalo kitchen mein he kuch dekhte hain!!" They marched downstairs...

"Hello everyone!!" Armaan greeted out loud while stepping inside the Mallik Resident!!
"Arre mera beta agaya!!!" Billy jumped joyfully and came forward to hug him whereas he backed out... "No no no!! Bete ko bohat dangerous vibes arahi hain app k pass se..." Armaan passed a suspicious look to two...
"Bhaiii!!!!!" Rohail ran upto him shouting out loud...

"KK...Kya chal raha hai gharr mein???" Armaan climbed up the sofa inorder to get away from everyones reach...
"Neeche utro... wahan kahan charhh gaye ho tum??" Arjun grabbed his hand and pulled him down...


"NO WAYS!!!!" Armaan shouted out loud after hearing out the whole thing..."HUM KYUN KHANA BANAYE?? PANGE APPKE!! APP BANAYE!!" Armaan joined the younger team...

"To tum nahi banao gay???" Arjun glared at him...
"Isse pehle k app mujhe black mail karen... check your phone.. Mom aur Chachi ko bhejun kya!!" He arched his eyebrow while laying with his cell phone...

"Armaan k bache!!!" Billy and Arjun both freaked out and ran after him...
"Hahahaha!!" The scene was so funny that the other three fell down laughing high...

Nehle ho tum to main dehla hoon
mauka hai sambhal jaao kehta hoon
riste ki lihaz main karta hoon
aisa na samajhna ki darta hoon
jaayegi baat ab court mein
tolo na tum mujhe note mein
samjho papa pyaare mere yeh ishaare
varna dikhaaonga main din mein tum ko taare
nahin fax nahin xerox nahin telex ya computer ki floppy
main to mere papa ki carbon copy - carbon copy
nahin fax nahin xerox nahin telex ya computer ki floppy

"Bada shawk haina dance karne kaa... App k saath saath sasur ji ki bhi class lagayegii!!" Armaan commented while climbling over a chair...
"Tumhe sharam nahi ayi apne baap aur chacha k saath aisa karte hue??" Arjun glared at him...
"Appko arahi thii dance karte hue bete k saamne??? Pata bhi hai kitni mushkil se main aur vikas wapas le k gaye thai ghar app teenow ko!!"Armaan was so not less...
"Aisa kya hua tha???" Rahul and Rohail butted in dramatically...

"Kisse pooch rahe ho?? subha ek cheez bhi yaad nahi thi raat ki..." Armaan smirked...

"Tumhe kya lagta hai?? tum blackmail karoge humay iss tarah??? Billy eyed him...
"To apko lagta hai app karenge mujhe???" He arched his eyebrow...

"Hahahahaha" Rohail held his stomach..
"Bhai tum roz aya karo..." Rahul gave a highfive to rohail whereas Mayank and Kartik were just laughing enjoying the whole thing...

"Lekin!! main itna dariya dill hun!! app ki madad zaroor karunga!! agar app promise karo k mom, chachi, dadi inki kitkit se mujhe bachao gay!! kyunki mujhe pata hai aur koi 10,000 log unhe kuch bol k gaye honge jinko meri shaadi ki badi fikar hai!! Wo sab mujhe nahi sunna hai!!" He kept his condition...


...


"To?? tum kya karamaat dikhane wale ho??" Rahul raised his eyes at Armaan...
"Dekho!! soup naa bade kaam ki cheez hoti hai!! isko peene k baad adha pait wese he bhar jaata hai!!" He gave a cheeky smile while putting some water for boiling...

"Hmmm... abbb" He looked around to see what is there in the kitchen and what is not... "Fridge mein check karte hain!!" He bit his lower lip and went towards the refrigerator...

"Very Good!!" He clapped on finding raw freezed finger fish packets... "Chalo beta! abb allo kato tum log!! Uss mein rona bhi nahi ata.." He winked and very soon all was ready... "Cream soup with Fried finger fish and chips.."

"Weird combination!!!" Rohail mocked at Armaan's face..
"Khud bana lo phir..." He retorted... "Aur wese bhi... main kuch unique word sunn raha tha... so, its not weird! Its Unique!!" He chirped...

"Dhanne ho tum!!" Rahul put his hands together in front of him...


...


"Arre... tumne ghar ane ki zehmat kyun ki??? shaam ko to wapas jaana hoga naa!!" Annanya spoke out sarcastically...
"Nah!!!" He hugged her from behind... "Itna tung karne ka mann kar raha tha appko!! Isliye maine decide kiya hai k ab yahin rahunga!! i am not going any where.." He announced leaving everyone in shock... "Mere matlab hai.. Kal subha shayad!!" He corrected only to get athud over his head...
"Dramebaaz... Kal subha kya???" Annanya arched her eyebrow...

"Matlab kal subha Dehli jana hai ek meeting k liye... kuch papers sign karne hain aur phir raat tak wapsi... usske baad kahin nahi ja raha" He announced still thinking if he was right or wrong...

Tumhara kuch nahi ho sakta Armaan!!" Annanya shook her head "Chalo!! naha dho k ajaoa khane pe!! Ajj tumhare dad aur chachoo ki taraf se treat hai!!" She threw daggers at Billy...

"Inki treat!!" Armaan huffed and went upstairs to take a bath...


...


"Yeh bahar ka to nahi hai!! shakal bata rahi hai... Aur tum log to banane se rahe..." Dadi passed a suspicious look to Billy and Arjun...
"Bhai ne banaya saara khana... yeh to chess khel rahe thai beth k.." Rahul broke the news...
"Kum se kum uske bahar jaane ka yeh ek faida to hai!! khane ache se bana leyta hai!! Biwi khush rahegi usski!!" Arjun chuckled...
"Hehehehehehe!!! Joke!!" Rohail laughed out loud..."To bhai tum shaadi kab kar rahe ho??" Rohail questioned out loud as he saw Armaan coming...

"Busss tum sagai karo.. agle din mein shaadi karta hun!!" Like an ever ready answer came out...
"Lo... phir to hogai tumhari sagai!!" Rahul rolled his eyes at Rohail.. "Aur tumhari shaadi!!" He shook his head at Armaan...

"Nahii wo to main bhaag k he karunga!! don't worry!!" Armaan winked at the two...
"Tum nahi sudharna... chahe duniya idhar ki udhar ho jaye..." Tanya held Armaan's ear...

"Ouch!!!" He hissed in pain.. "soup nahi peena appne... itni mehnat se banaya hai maine.." He rubbed his ear...

"Kese banaya!!! zara humay bhi to pata chale... banaya ya packet daala hogaya!!" Tanya was not convinced but soon became surprised when he told everything right!!




"Ready ho??" Armaan asked Nidhi over the phone...
"Haan bus AirPort k liye nikal rahi hun!!" She replied back while picking up her handbag...
"Theek hai!! acha suno.. wahan pohch k ek kaam karna! Salemon and Co k details ek baar phir se check kar leyna! Aisa na ho k phir kuch reh jaye aur mere chakkar double ho jaen aur Sid ko bhi conform kar dena figures so that wo wahan check rakhe.." He guided her...


"Haan theek hai kar dungii.. Arre pata hai jab maine Nehal ko bataya naa k main kis liye ja rahi hun to chirr gaya!! kehne laga tum uss kameene ka interview karogii?? Tumhe pata bhi hai wo kaun hai??" She chuckled...


"Lo!! abb nehal k kya pange ho gaye usse??" Armaan was surprised...

"Keh raha tha uski ek baar mulaqat hui thi usse kisi kaam k silsile mein aur singhaniya k tantrums ki jagah se usse bohat kuch jhelna pada tha!! Bohat chirra hua tha! keh raha tha uski band nahi bajai agar maine interview k doraan to maar daalega mujhe.." She giggled..

"Whatever.. karo jo tumhe karna hai!! lekin dheyaan rahe your main focus should be to get higher amount as much as possible... Tumhe loan repay karna hai!!" He warned...

"Yeh tum mujhe baar baar loan kyun yaad dilate rehte ho?? Yaad hai mujhe..." She huffed...

"Good!!" He hung up...


"Armaan!! Maine tumse kuch cheezein manwai thi.." Tanya asked while sitting down next to him...
"Haan main laaya hun naa... infact sab he kuch laaya hun... Aapka samaan mil gaya tha mujhe... mom ne jo bola tha..aur dadi ka..." He gave it a thought... "Haan mil gaya tha!! wo bhi wo sab room main pada hai!!" He told straight... "Main le kar ata hun...


"Mom!! Dadi!!!" He shouted put loud to call them in the hall while carrying down all the bags...

"Yeh kya?? tum ek dum sahi cheez kese le aye iss baar??" Tanya raised her eyes at Armaan...

"Arre yeh sab to Ali...ummm mera matlab hai ek indian lady mil gayi thi mujhe... usse list pakradi maine to sab sahi agaya!!" He was about to take Aliya's name but then stopped and made a story...

"Aur shaadi kab karni hai???" The very next question...
"Ek to yeh shaadi!!!" He covered his face... "Matlab iske bagair jene nahi denge app log mujhe??" He passed a tired look to them...

"Sudhar jao tum!!!" Dadi hit him lightly on his head who just came and stood next to him...

"Yeh kya hai?? uhhh" He rubbed his head feeling dadi had done something to his hairs..

"Teil???" He made a face.. "Chalen ab maalish he kar dein zara meri... Bohat time hogaya!!" He stretched his arms in the air...


...



"To tum logon ka kehna hai k tum mein se koi bhi nahi jayega???" Billy asked the three for the final time...
"App donow humare sar pe kyun phorr rahe hain sab?? Uss Singhaniya ko award milega!! Mujhe to shakal bhi nahi dekhti hai uski..." Abhi passed a grumpy look to Billy...
"Arre yaar ajeeb insaan ho tum!! Itna personal kyun le rahe ho usko??" Billy shook his head at Abhi...
"Appne to bezti ki nahi thii uski.. Maine yeh kaam saranjaam diya tha bohat proudly!! Ab wese he wo award haath mein le k apni bateesi dikhayega mujhe... Main nahi jaoonga!!" Abhi huffed...

"Meri taraf to bilkul mat dekhiye.. bohat tension mein hun main filhaal..." Rohail backed out as soon as Billy's eyes fell on him...
"Aurr mujhe to wo shaks shuru se he pasand nahi tha! Main nahi jaoonga.." Rahul too backed out...

"Uffo!! Jaana zaroori hai! Wese he tum teenow ki nautanki ne market mein humare shares ka huliya bigara hua hai... Ab hum wahan nahi gaye to aur baatein banengii... Jaana padega yaar!!" Arjun tried to convince the three...

"Nahi!!! App chale jaen" The three spoke out together...

"Mujhe iss waqt media se koi interaction nahi chahiye... company pe already bohat sawal uthe hue hain!!" Billy gave his reasons...

"Sir!! Someone knocked at the door...
"Yes??" Arjun asked...

"Sir!! wo Mr Singhaniya aye hain!! Unhe... Humare pyaare Abhimanyu Sir se kaam hai!!" Naren peeped inside and smirked at Abhi...
"Lo!! kar lo baat..." Rahul rolled his eyes...
"Naren!! tum kabhi ki achi khabar mat laana mere liye..." Abhi gritted his teeth at Naren...

"Kya musibat hai!! Main nahi araha..." Armaan made a face as Dadi just finished applying oil in his hairs and here Billy ordered him to visit office...
"Seedhi sharafat se pohunch jao tum!!" Billy said in a stern voice...

"Tch!!! ab nahana padega!!" Armaan gritted his teeth and lazily moved upstairs to get ready...

Changing into a casual blue jeans and white shirt after the bath, he got ready and left for the office...

An Hour Later...

Again all the head members of the project were called and some serious discussion was on between Mr Singhaniya and them.. Since the news was not out that supplier is already been signed so, Abhi was trying hard to calmly listen all the rubbish...

The scene was more like as if a huge family is talking against a man.. It surely looks like a Family Project...
"Thats your last chance.. i think you better know what sort of talks are on against you guys in the market..." Ajay smirked at Abhi...

"Shilpa!! Get me that Provisions file.." Abhi intercomed her...

"Kya musibat hai?? mujhse kyun mangwa raha hai?? mujhe nahi jaana hai uss ghatiya aadmi k saamne.." Shilpa got frustrated after receiving the call from Abhi...
When Ajay got no reaction from Shilpa's side on those photographs, neither as expected Armaan Mallik landed here to yell and break his ties with her and neither any other member of the family was reacting different with Shilpa.. Ofcorse he was expecting this also as he send those pictures to them aswell... He was highly dissappointed...

He was so furious that his plan failed and his anger enranged even more when he received a reply mail from Armaan's side "Send me More!!!!"
It was hell confusing how come things didn't changed even a bit... (Ummm actually they did changed... the two got more closer and had some gaga time the other day :P)

Next what he did was to send Shilpa a letter trying to blackmail her with some really disgusting way which left her in agony... she tore the letter into peices and threw them in fire... Now when HER MAN himself was supporting her, she was no more scared and wished to go and slap the bastered by herself only!!


"Huhhh" She closed her eyes to calm herself down and then copying the file in flashdrive, moved towards Abhi's cabin to handover it to him...



...




Knocking the door, she got inside and gave it in Abhi's hands... Ajay's eyes fell on her and the way he looked at her made her even more angry which got clearly visible on her face...
"Its my Final verdict WE ARE NOT GONA COLLABORATE!! YOU CAN LEAVE NOW!!" Abhi yelled out at last... he was irritated...

"You will be responsible for the consiquences..." Ajay gave some attitude and got up to go...


Checking something on his mobile, Armaan walked inside the office.. doing hi hello with all he walked forward... "Ajj koi khada nahi hua??" One of the not so old employee asked the other... He has always seen that when he enters everyone gets up to greet him or start correcting their ties and sleeves and gets more concentrated towards their work...

"Ajj formal nahi haina!! boss ban k nahi aye..." The other smiled pointing at Armaan who was in a simple jeans and shirt with no tie or suit...

"Shilpa! tum ruko.. kaam hai mujhe tumse.." Abhi stopped her as she was about to leave...

"Issko saare kaam abhi he yaad aenge..." She gritted her teeth and stopped...

Ajay was moving out and she was standing at the corner of the door.. He passed her an evil look making her go red with the anger even more... Ofcorse this was noticed by all.. Trying to control her temper she looked away and found the reflection of Armaan through the glass door... he was coming towards Abhi's cabin...

As soon as he reached at the door, shilpa stepped back and hid herself behind him.. His eyes were on his mobile while making way towards Abhi's cabin and when she held his hand and hid behind her he looked up to see who did what and found her behind him and Mr Singhaniya urff Tom Bangali infront of him...

"Oh!! Mr Mallik..." Ajay smiled at Armaan...
"Aaa... Hii!!" Armaan passed a confusing smile... "Sorry!! but... do i know you??" He asked making Shilpa frown and Abhi and Others smile who knew that he knew him and now is upto something...

"You don't know me??" Ajay passed him a stern look...

"Yeah!! i dON'T THINK WE EVER MET BEFORE.." He bit his lower lip...

"Very well then!! You will know it soon..." Ajay smiled fake...

"Sure..." Armaan smiled and Ajay walked out...

"Issko kya kehte hain???" Shilpa blasted out gritting her teeth...
"Izzat se bezzatti karna!! sarrta rahe gaa bechara!! usko nahi jaanta main, usko lagta hai wo bohat famous hai!!" He chuckled...
"Yeah right!!" She rolled here eyes...
"And you know what?? Sometimes you should just ignore few things... Har baat pe react karna zaroori nahi hota.." He pressed his lips together...
"Aap to rehne he dijye... Jahan react karna chahiye wahan kabhi nahi karte..." She was loud...
"Don't you think you are going a bit loud??" He arched his eyebrow...

"A bit???" She raised her eyes at him...

"Okay!! you now you are very loud then..." He stretched his lips...
"you know what?? Sometimes you should just ignore few things!!" She retorted back and marched out leaving his clentch his jaws...

Amit and Vikram were watching the whole scene with wide open eyes whereas the other whole team, Abhi, Atul, Rahul, Rohail and Kartik Mayank started laughing...
"Yeh meri lifemein nahi thii to kitna sukoon tha!!!" Armaan chewed his words...

"Kyun beta!! Maza aya??" Abhi laughed...

"Shut Up!!" He rolled his eyes... "Kyun bulaya hai mujhe???"

"Billy uncle ne bulaya hai!! 5 minute mein free ho jaenge wo.." Abhi replied...

"Dawat chal rahi thii koi yahan??" He asked waving a hi to all as he noticed the amount of people... sitting inside..
"Acha khair choro... phir kuch pange honge tum sab ke..." He himself avoided while maoving inside and sat down next to Rohail who was working on his lappy...

"Wese talent hai bandi mein!!" Atul mocked at Armaan's face...
"Kis type ka talent??" He asked controlling his temper...

"Tumhe lapait k maarne k talent!!!" Atul grinned making everyone laugh at him...
"I enjoy it!! any problem??" He gritted his teeth...

"Arre... tum logon mein se kaun ja raha hai kal??" Suddenly Abhi asked Amit as it striked him...
"Jis tarah tumne uss din meeting mein aur ajj isski bajai hai... uske baad tumhe kyun lagta hai k apni insult kawane ka chance dene hum wahan jaenge??" Pagal samjha hai??" Amit made a face...

"Mujhe laga tha sirf ghar walon pe che che chalti hai isski.." Vikram giggled at Armaan...
"Wo jab gusse mein ati hai tab uski sab pe che che chalti hai!! " Armaan replied making Vikram laugh...

"Tum kaunsi tension mein ho??" Armaan frowmed at Rohail who wasn't responding to anything...
"Busy hun mein..." He made a face working on some software...
"Arre ek interesting cheez dikhata hun!!" Armaan bit his lower lip and took Rohail's laptop in his hands...

Working on it for few seconds, he passed back to Rohail and got up to go and meet Billy...
"Yeh kya kiya hai??" Armaan heard Rohail's shout as he reached the door step.. "Try and unlock!" He winked at Rohail and walked out..

"Tch!! Bhai!!!" Rohail jumped up in irritation and marched out after him towards Billy's cabin...

"Tum log bhi apna apna dekh lo phirr... i think yeh ajj ho jana chahiye warna phir parson dekhte hain!!" Abhi said while looking at all and then pointing at the chart after which everyone dispersed...






"Haan to... tum kal.." Billy started as soon as Abhi, Rahul and Rohail gathered in his cabin...
"Kal mujhse kisi kaam ki umeed mat rakhiye... Mujhe kal subha Dehli jaan ahai kaam se.. raat tak he wapsi hogi meri..." Armaan interrupted...
"Mujhe pata hai tumne kal Dehli jana hai isiliye keh raha hun..." Billy stated...

"Kya???" Armaan passed a suspicious look to all...

"Kal ek award function hai wo tumhe attend karna hai..." Arjun told him...

"Award function?? main?? Maine life mein kitne aise events attend kiye hain?? do chaar se zyaada nahi... aur uss mein bhi bhar bhar k speeches aur bakwaas hoti hai!! I am not attending any such function..." He refused straight...

"Arre..." All frowned at him...

"Aur wese bhi... main to yahan kaam bhi nahi karta.. main wey nahi jaoonga!!" He relaxed his back against the chair...
"Sirf ek tumhare Singhaniya se pange nahi hain tum jaoge... apni attendence dek wapas ajana.." Billy tried to convince him again...
"Bhae..." Armaan made a face... "Theek hai!! lekin akele nahi jaaonga.." He said while taking out a coin from his pocket and showing it to Rahul...
"Nahii..." Rahul backed out...
"To phir main bhi nahi..." He clearly refused... "Aise khalo phokat mein bore hine mein kyun jaoon??? Aur wese bhi maine ajj tak media se interact nahi kiya hai aur naa he agar karne ka shawk rakhta hun!!"

"Aur wese bhi... mein jaoonga to mujhe kya milega?? Main kyun manoo appki baat jab isse mera koi leyna deyna he nahi hai to??" He talked like a businessman...

"Ufff... jaan lelo!!" Rohail scowled...
"Nahiii... wo nahi chahiye!!" He made a face... "Pehli cheez! Wo bOhaaat Mehngii hai!! Aurr doosri cheez.." He paused... "Bohat Bolti hai!!!" He completed leaving Rohail flabbergusted whereas others understood he was refering to Aliya and started laughing...

"Bhai!!" Rohail glared at him...

"Meri simple si demand hai!!! Main isi shart pe jaoong ak without any question app apne auditor ko fire kar dein!!" He kept his demand leaving everybody in shock...

"Kya???" Billy freaked out...

"Agar app yeh nahi kar sakte... to bhi nahi jaane wala.." He was serious...
"Tum pagal to nahi ho gaye ho??? Ek hafte baad external auditor ane wala hai audit k liye aur hum apne internal auditor ko fire kar dein???" Abhi frowned at Armaan...

"As you wish!!" He raised his shoulders carelessly... "Filhaal to main kuch bolunga nahi... but if u trust me... do it!!" He breathed deep...

"Fine..." After thinking for few minutes everyone agreed...

"To ab mein niklun??" he asked...

"Kahan niklun??? uss software ko theek karo..." Rohail passed a grumpy look to Armaan...

"Arre haann..." He again kept the coin in front of Rahul...
"Hats!!" Rolling his eyes Rahul took it...

He threw the coin in the air and catched it... "Tails!!" Armaan chuckled... "Ajao!! Tumhari Dehli se rishtedaari karate hain!!" Armaan kept his hand around Rohail's shoulder and dragged him out... "Arre mujhe nahi jaan hai..." Rohail freaked out...

"Poocha kisne hai?? Armaan chuckled...
