Episode 28 😆 (We r zooming ahead)
3 days into the Honeymoon. Vedika is fast asleep in the bed, because they had been out all day and she was still a bit weak from her fever. She is in a sexy pink Nighty, on her back, her head facing right, left arm on her tummy and right arm next to her head. Her hair is spread out on the pillow. The Quilt (bedcover) is just up to her waist.
Dhruv walks out of the bathroom in his PJ's, and his gaze falls on the sleeping Vedika straight away.
Dhruv: [smiling to himself] sogayi meri sleeping beauty...
Dhruv is just standing there gazing at her, when a sudden gust off wind blows in from the open window and blows Vedika's hair over her face.
Dhruv: [Walks hurriedly towards window] Arrey..the window is open abhi tak! She'll get more sick...[He pushes the window shut with his strong strong arms 😉..and closes the curtains]
Then he walks towards the bed, and gentlyy removes the hair on Vedika's face, so that he can see her face clearly again. He pulls the quilt up around her, tucking her in warm and snug..and gives her a small kiss on her forehead
Dhruv: [whispers after giving her a kiss] Sweet dreams meri jaan..
Dhruv is about to get into bed too. Its exactly midnight. Suddenly his mobile rings. It disturbs the silence
Brrring Brrring
Dhruv: [jumps at phone ring 😆] Arrey itni raat hogayi aur phone..[He glances at Vedika to see if she's awoke..He sees her stirring and so takes his phone and goes into the bathroom] Kaun hoga...disturb kardiya! [Looks at phone and sees 'Home calling'] Ghar se?
Dhruv: [accepts call and speaks softly so as not to disturb his sleeping beauty] Hello?
Titli Maami 😆: [Excited] Haa Hello Puttar! Mein bolrahi hu..Tumhari Titili Maami!
Dhruv: [suprised, but still talking softly] Titile Maami aap? ...Sab..sab theek hein na?
Titli Maami: [Still very excited 😆..practically shouting down the phone] Haan..kya bola? Puttar...lagta hein mere kaan mein kuch hein..kuch nahi sunaydeta..zor se bolo!
Dhruv: [in a loud whisper] Maami..Vedika so rahi hein..isliye..
Titli Maami: [suddenly sounds very down]: So rahi hein bahu? Haii..meine socha uski Titli Maami usse sabse pehle wish karengi..
Dhruv: [confused] Wish? Wish kisliye?
Titili Maami: [shocked] Hai meri to death hi hojayengi! Puttar, tenu nahi pata kya? Aaj hamari Bahu ka ..woh kya kehte hein angrezi mein..bird day hein! 😆
Dhruv: [still confused] Bird Day?...[it suddenly clicks and he's sooo shocked] Aap ka matlab Birthday?!
Titli Maami: [Getting excited again] Haan haan wohi..Bird day! Hai agar mein usse sabse pehle mubaraki nahi di na..to sach much meri death hi hojayengi!
Dhruv: [to himself, shocked] Vedika ka birthday hein aaj (since its gone midnight) ..aur usne mujhe bataya tak nahi! [to Titili Maami] Nahi Maami..Aapki death nahi hogi..Aap subah hi phone kardena firse..
Titli Maami: [Hesitates]..Umm..Acha Puttar..tu kehta he to phir....mein rakhti hu phone
Dhruv: [in a hurry to get off the phone] Jee okay..ghar pe sabko mera pyaar dena..
Titli Maami: Fikar not puttar..Goood-bye [she puts the phone down]
Dhruv: [walks out of the bathroom and looks at Vedika who is still in the same position, fast asleep.] [to himself] Meri queen ka janam din hein..and I don't even have a gift for her! [he is upset bechara]
Dhruv sits on the bed and thinks..thinks..thinks...He looks at the time..its nearly 1 am!
Dhruv: [to himself, looking at Vedika] Sojao beta! subhe jaldi jaldi uthna hein..bahot saare kaam karne hein na 😉
Dhruv's inner self: [in a you-are-useless tone] Kya karega tu!? Kaisa pati hein tu 😡 Itna bhi nahi jaanta ke tumhari patni ka birthday kab hein
Dhruv: [trying to console himself] Nahi yaar..It's not my fault..abhi abhi to shaadi huwi hein..upar se saara problems..
Dhruv's inner self: [angry] Excuses excuses! 😡 Nalayak...kuch bhi nahi kar sakta apne biwi ke liye! kuch..bhi..nahi 😡
Dhruv: [desperate] It's not my fault!! Woh bhi mujhe hint desakhti thi na..mein kya uska mind par sakta hu ke saara uska details jaan lu ..
Dhruv's Inner self: [in a you-are-useless tone] Khair tum sajao bachu..tumse kuch bhi ummeed karna faltu hein
Dhruv: [defiant] Nahi! Tum dekhna..I'll suprise Vedika and give her a birthday suprise she'll NEVER forget!
Determining this, he puts his alarm to 6 am, he switches off the lights..and gets in next to Vedika..puts his left arm around her..and falls asleep 😆
6 am! Alarm Clock goes off...Dhruv moans and turns around from his verrry comfortable position to switch off the alarm
Dhruv: [half asleep] mmmhmm..kya..mmmmm...6 o clock..already....[he's about to turn around and go back to sleep 😆 when he remembers] Birthday! [he sits up and rubs his eyes] (hes looking verry sexy half asleep 😉)...[he looks at Vedika who is now on her right side, curled up in a ball] Happy Birthday sweetheart!
Dhruv jumps out of the bed and has a quick shower. By 6.15, he's washed and ready..looking HOT in a pair of black trousers and cream shirt. Slowly, he opens the door and leaves the room, closing the door softly behind.
He goes down in the elevators and goes to the reception.
Manager: [politely] Good morning Sir..aaj bare jaldi uth gaye aap? Wife bhi nahi hein aap ke saath
Dhruv: Good Morning. Woh kya hein..I wanted to ask you a favour..agar aap ko koi aitraaz nahi hein to..
Manager: Sure..What can we do for you?
Dhruv and the Manager talk 😉 (their voices are muted cause its gonna be a suprise for the viewers too)
Finally, they shake hands
Manager: [with a smile] Don't worry Mr Raizada..hum sab tayyari kardenge..It will be perfect!
Dhruv: [satisfied smile] Thank you sir...thanks alot!
Dhruv then walks out of the hotel. He checks the time
Dhruv: [shocked] 6.30 hogaya! Jaldi karo yaar..warna maharani uth jayengi aur samajlegi ke daal me kuch kaala hein 😆
Dhruv grabs a taxi and goes to the 'Cake Bake' Shop 😆
In the shop, there are rows and rows of meethai jalebi cakes off all shapes and sizes
Dhruv: [looking around] Yummm..meine breakfast bhi nahi ki! Bahot bhook lagi hein...
An old man standing at the counter interrupts his thoughts.
Old Man: [loudly] Welcome welcome saab...kuch khane ka dil mangta? [he walks to the stalls pointing at the delicious foods] Gajar ka halva?..ya baklava...? shayad ye gharam gharam jalebi? kai bolte? 😆
Dhruv: [stomach grumbles loudly..to himself] Yaar jis kaam ke liye aaye ho, karlo..warna ye saara dukhan karidh na parenga
Dhruv: [to the old man] Saab, meri patni...
Old man: [cuts him off] Kya? Chutney?! 😆 Tumhe meethai ke saath chutney khana hein? kamaal hein.[shurgs].Hum sab to chutney gharam gharam pakore ke saath khaate hein..
Dhruv: [amused] Nahi saab..meine kahan PATNI
Old Man: [shakes his head vigorously] Ohooo..saaf saaf bolo phir! To tum apni patni ke liye kuch chahte ho kya?
Dhruv: [to himself] Hay Bhagwaan! Ye aadmi to aadha bera lagta hein..[To old man] Jee...nahi..woh kya hein...Meri patni ka aaj birthday hein..
Old Man: [looking confused again] parde? mein bhala kyu parde vaghera bechunga..ye to sirf or sirf meethai or cake ki dukaan hein
Dhruv: [to himself] Parde? abhey saale..kahan fas gaya tu! [to old man, loudly] MERI PATNI KA JANAM DIN HEIN..AUR MUJHE EK SHANDAAR CAKE CHAHIYE...
Old Man: [makes a face] Tum chilla kyu rahe ho saab! [shakes his head] Mein kya bera lag ta hu?!
Dhruv makes a God-help-me face 😆
Old Man: Tum fikar mat karo..shandaar cake banana sirf mera kaam hein..[practically waves Dhruv outta the shop 😆] Kahan bheju mein or kitne baje..aur patni ka naam kya hein?
Dhruv: [loudly to avoid any mistakes] Hotel...... (I forgot hotel name 😳)..shaam ko saat baje! Patni ka naam hein VEDIKA'
Old Man: [pleased with himself] Bara changa naam..bara changa naam! [he takes a bag of jalebi and gives it to Dhruv] ye lo..bahu ko dena..meri taraf se...aur ten-zon nai lene ka...ye cake ka kaam pura ka pura mein karunga
Dhruv: [to himself] Yahi baat ki to tension hein 😆 [takes jalebi bag and leaves shop] shukriya saab
Dhruv then heads to the jewellery store eating the jalebi.
Dhruv: wah! kya jalebi hein ye [then guiltily] Sorry Vedika..ye tha tumhare liye..lekin agar mein tumhe deta..to phir tumhara 1000 savaalo ka jawaab dena parega..and the whole suprise will be spoilt! 😆 Waisey...tum kaho ya mein..baat to ek hi hein na
He checks the time.
Dhruv: [shocked] 7! Jaldi jaldi karo..
He walks into the jewellery store, which has just opened....
He buys something from there 😉 (suprise for us too)..and heads back to the hotel...entering his room at exactly 7.30...Vedika is not in the bed!!
