Part 22:
"Sir? How's the patient?" Malaika asked Dr. Armaan as he came out of the ER.
"Under observation. Send his kidney to the lab, thank's Malaikaā¦ for taking care of his mother."
"Not a problem, sir."
A minute later, Safwan came out of the ER, whistling.
"Awwwā¦ baby loli hai?" He teased her.
"I am not!"
"YOU ARE!"
"Safwan, stop it. I'm not in the mood to argue with you."
"Okaay.." He said, stopping. She didn't look too happy, maybe it was better if he just let the lioness be.
"Beta, beta! Mera beta teek to hai na?" the patients mother leaped up as soon as she saw the doctors coming out.
"Aap araam karye, Maa jiā¦ Aapka beta bilkul teek hai."
The woman raised her hands up. "Allah ka lakh lakh shukar hai! Thank you beta!" She gave Malaika a hug, wiping her tears.
"Aunty? Mera hug kaha hai?" Safwan asked, quizzically, spreading out his arms while the old woman slapped him on the shoulder.
"Tum donoā¦ shaadi shuda ho? Allah tum dono ko achi Jodi de."
At least she didn't think that monkey was her husband or something.
Safwan grinned sheepishly. Him and Malaika? His jodi? Ahhā¦ his dreams almost close to a reality!
Next day:
"Heya guysss!" Atul jumped around the locker room.
"Hey Atulā¦" Riddhima looked at him weird. "What's with all the excitement?"
"You knowā¦ My mom talked to Sappu's mom yesterday! And they're going to go to the mandhir today to get our sagai date fixed!! OYA! OYA! I can't believe it! Dance with me people!"
"SAPPU? WHO CALLED ME SAPPU?" Sapna came in the locker room, showing off fake anger. Seeing Atul extremely excited, she lowered her head, blushing.
"Heyy babess! Let me just dance with you.." He took her in his arms and swirled her around. "Kuch hi mehno ki toh baat hai, phir hum tumā¦ ek hi comf-"
"ATUL!" Sapna smacked him hard on his chest.
"Hey guys, what's new?" Malaika said, entering. "Where's the Clown?"
"Why should you care where I am sweety pie?" Safwan said, entering as well. "Andā¦ Dr. Armaan's been looking for you. What's his nameā¦? The kidney patients kidney reports are ready."
"Oh! Thanks!" Malaika ran to the lab, eagerly.
"Sir you called me?" She asked, stepping into the lab.
"Ah yes! I have good news! The kidney we removed yesterday and his mom was wailing about itā¦ well she better be glad it had to be removed. We found cancer cells, that tooā¦ it was about to reach the third stage!"
"Omg! No way! You're kidding! Let me go tell his mother!" Malaika couldn't believe it. This patient had gotten into an accident and his kidney had been damagedā¦ because it had cancer and the kidney had to be removed! And there his mother was wailing about how her son would survive with just one kidney!
"Aunty! Dekhyeā¦ Jo kidney hum ne nikali thi, usme cancer tha! Acha huwa nikal gayaā¦ nahi nikalte, tohā¦ woh maarjaata..." Malaika ranted, in one breath.
The patient's mother was shocked, not knowing how to respond, she covered her open mouth with her hand.
"Beta, main tuhmara shukarya kaise aada karu!" She hugged Malaika.
"Aare, mera shukarya nahi! Unkaā¦" she started, as Safwan entered the waiting area.
"Beta, tuhmari shaadi ho chuki hai?" The woman asked Malaika, letting go.
"Uhhā¦" Safwan shot her a glare, his eyes popping out. He nodded his head vigorously. His lips desperately told her to say YES. "Uhhā¦ haanā¦ uhhā¦ waha rahe mere husbandā¦" She pointed at Safwan. He smiled politely.
"Ohhh, achaā¦ yeh tuhmare pati hai," Safwan stood beside Malaika about to slip his arm around her shoulder when she kicked his knee with her foot.
"AHH.. Haan! Main.. ouchā¦ kitnaā¦ lucky hoonā¦ ouchā¦ Main jaata hoon maajiā¦ dressing karni paregiā¦ ouchā¦"
"AAHHHHHHH!! Kya zaroorat thi, itna zor se maarne ki???" Safwan limped. "AHHHHHHH!!!"
"TUHME KYA ZAROORAT THI, MUHJE CHOONE KI???"
"Tuhme muhje tuhmara pati bulane ki kya zaroorat thi???" He shot back at her.
"OMG!!! She told that aunty you were her husband???" Riddhima quipped.
"NO! I just-"
"Yes you did, stop lying. Kya yaar? Ek shaareef ladke ko aapne jaal mein kyun phasa rahi ho?"
"Ugh!!!" Malaika said, frustrated.
"OMG, Tum dono ki shaadi hogaye??!?! Kab kaise??" Atul said, now entering the locker room. "Saalon ki dukhmani pyaar baan gaye! Wahh!! Kya BAAT hai!"
"SAFWAN! UGHā¦ You're so annoying! I bet your cousin's just like you! Poor Huma di!" Malaika said, extremely frustrated.
"Hahahaha! Of course he's just like me. That's why Huma bhabhi chose HIM!"
"Oh shut up. He chose HER!"
"Tumse behes karna bekaar."
"Dr. RIDDHIMA!" A voice came out of nowhere.
"Omgā¦ Armaan!" Riddhima squealed. "I totally forgot! Bye guys!"
"Oyeee! Mere bhai ko kidnapā¦ mera matlabā¦ mere bhai ke saat kya kar rahi ho tum?" Atul stood in front of her, in defense of his brother.
"Uff Atulā¦ he's taking me out to dinner todayā¦" Riddhima said, blushing.
"Kyun bhe?"
"ATUL! Chalo Riddhima, jaldi jaldi." Armaan now came into the locker room and took Riddhima by the hand. "Toodle do Broā¦ Good luck with Sapna's parents! Make sure you use the tips I gave you." He winked at Atul and quickly ran away.
"Kya? Tum mere ghaar aare ho?" Sapna asked Atul confused. In the background, Malaika and Safwan were giving each other death stares.
"Umā¦ haan. Woh umā¦ tuhmar mama neā¦ bulaya tha."
"KYA? AUR MUUHJE PATA BHI NAHI??!?!?!" She ran out, wondering what it would be like to have Atul coming to her house. She'd have to clean her room and bathroom!! They were a messā¦ and if he came and saw thatā¦ it wouldn't be so nice. AHH!
"Safwan! Kaal Ifraan ki shaadi hai, yaad toh hai na???" Safwan's mother banged on his bedroom door, but he didn't hear the loud banging on the door as he was too busy thinking about someoneā¦ *cough* special. Wellā¦ it was her cousins wedding. She'd be around of courseā¦ what would she wear?
"SAFWAN!"
"AH, Haan Ma!" He jumped.
"KAAL. SHAADI. HAI!"
"HAAN BABA, YAAD HAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ufffā¦ he slapped his forehead. His mother had been asking that same question everyday for two months.
"Au che. Au che. Khau che. Beto bhe. Apun teek che." Atul stood in front of the mirror, practicing Gujrati. "Bhau maat khau che! Oye Aseem! Yaha se nikal che!"
Aseem had creeped up on Atul talking to the mirror. "Chachu! Apne aap se baat kar rahe ho kya? Kya bekar Gujrati hai aapki!" He ran out of the room giggling his head off.
"Salaa Armaan ka chamcha kahi ka!"
"Namaste Aunty." Atul said, as he entered Sapna's house with his mother behind him.
"Au-" he was almost sure she'd say che, but "-beta" Aw, he was wrong. "Behto!"
"Ahhh, kitna pyaara munda hai tuhmara, Aarzoo ji!" Sapna's mother said, as they sat down. PYAARA? Atul thought. What theā¦ she made him sound like a girl! He was desperately waiting for Sapna to come out.
"Ahhhā¦ Sapna betiya! Bhahar auu!"
Sapna in her bedroom was extremely nervous to come out. Hmmā¦ she looked at herself in the mirror. I look pretty? She thought. But maybe I've over dressed. Let me wipe off a little bit of the lip glossā¦ oh and too much eye shadow as wellā¦
"Ummā¦ main lekar aata hoonā¦" as Atul went for her room, she suddenly came out and bumped into him.
"Uh oh."
"Ahh! Caught youā¦ by the way sweetyā¦ you look stunning." He winked at her as he caught her in his arms.
"Kamaal ki Jodi hai!" Sapna's mother said.
"Yehā¦ Kamaal kaun hai?" He whispered in her ears.
"Teesra boyfriend. Now let GO of me." She took his arms off her and sat next to Aarzoo.
"Kaise hai aap?" She said politely. Oh how Aarzoo loved Atul's choice.
"Atul beta! Yeh khaman Dhokla khau na!" She handed one to him. Now how could Atul tell her that he wasn't a fan of yellow sponges?
"Jee, shukaryaā¦" He quietly took the dhokla and stuffed in his mouth, swallowing it as fast as he could.
"Ek aur lo na beta!" She handed him another one. There was no way out. Sapna laughed as he turned his face away, his face changing from smiley to disgust.
"Oh thank you so much aunty. I love thisā¦ yellow sponge." Atul told her.
"Oh dank you so much beta! I love you too."
