Hmmmmm.....(pt38pg31)(LRL)-done,done,done

Alekh was also one among the people who Naina knew, but no, he wasn't a friend, he was Naina's rival, her biggest enemy! Alekh and Naina both studied in Oxford, were classmates, but still, they truly HATED each other and fought amongst themselves like Wild cats! Totally JUNGLEES! But unfortunately, their parents were the best of friends and guess what? Alekh, along with his ENTIRE family was also invited to the party. And if you're thinking that his family only consisted of 3 persons, mind you, you're ABSOLUTELY WRONG! This was just Alekh. After him were his parents, his 2 little, yet mischievous sisters, his 2 young, oh! HANDSOME brothers and yes, his puny, old grandma… Whew! But was she ACTUALLY puny? Well, you MUST find about her! Now, that WAS enough… Wasn't it? To start with, Alekh was also doing MBA along with Naina. His sisters, Rhea and Arshia, were both in the 6th standard and were totally opposite clones. The condition was such, that if Rhea wanted a Barbie, Arshia wanted a fighter plane, if Rhea wanted Chinese, Arshia wanted French… Now c'mon, they're twins, they OUGHT TO have some similarities naa? Anyway, now, coming over to his brothers…Ooooo!!! They were so handsome! So good-looking, so, so, so… They were clever, smart, and on top of it, they were part of a rock band! The band of their school. Both were in the tenth standard. No, no, they weren't twins at all, from any angle! Namely, Arjun and Siddharth, they were completely different from Alekh. Whereas Alekh was snobbish, arrogant and very proud of his own self, these two were kind-hearted, cute and simple. And yes, that night, happened a BIG BLUNDER! And why shouldn't it, after all Alekh and Naina had to spend the whole night in front of each other… And Naina, she had to take special care of all the guests, and especially Alekh's family, because remember, they are her parents' bestest friends!

Oh! Now was the time when we ought to have the entry of 2, no, 3, no, yes, 4 'NEW CREATURES'…And yeah, they all are very special, special in Naina's life…

*****************

The party had just begun and all the guests had gradually started entering the Great Hall of the house. And yes, it WAS definitely a very magnificent hall, maybe the size of a Public Bath which used to exist during the earlier times. Huff! Too much of History now… Anyway, Naina was okay with the idea of entertaining rest of the guests, but Alekh! No, she couldn't possibly handle HIM! Nevertheless, he was too HOT to handle… By saying this, I mean, he was too HOT-TEMPERED to handle! Naina's parents had also invited some of her classmates, like for example, Linda, Saira, Mayhem, Barmy, Lucida and Keira… Oh my God! No Indian friends… NONONO! Stop! She DID have one at least… Pooja… Yup! Ms. Pooja Ghai was Naina's Best friend… Pooja was also from India and there lived in Chandigarh, Punjab… She was a typical Punjabi kudi and that's why Naina's parents liked her the most… Otherwise they didn't believe in any sort of discrimination on the basis of religion (well, I learnt all these heavy words in my Civics class), but yes, Pooja's presence surely reminded them of Their country, Their India… Wooo! Now that was quite something… Pooja too was invited to the party and yeah, she HAD to come… Her parents were also very good friends of Naina's parents, and so, they had become family friends also, just like Alekh. Her parents, Mrs. Lata Ghai and Mr. Sukhwinder Ghai, were very nice people. They had a business of their own. While Pooja used to study with Naina, her parents had a small Cafe, Caf India. Yum! What food they used to sell! It was just… Mmmmmm… And yes, their restaurant was quite popular among the whole of New York.
