Part 14
"I am NOT going to do this alone Armaan!" Kripa yelled the millionth time at her brother who was taking forever in the bathroom.
Kripa: Get out right now so we can start cleaning! Everyone is waiting for you!
Armaan who was just sitting in the bathroom playing with his Nintendo, rolled his eyes as he heard Kripa bang on the door again. She was messing up his plan as usual. As planned she was suppose to go downstairs and start cleaning with everyone. But nope'as usual she was there to ruin his plan. I mean of course he couldn't tell her that this was his plan because then she would have never agreed but come on!
Armaan: I am busy!! Gosh Woman! Can't a man be in the bathroom in peace!
Kripa: A man can'yes'but not when he is inside playing games!!!
Whoa! How did she know? He looked around the bathroom to see if she could see him but there was no way she could. After checking himself out in the mirror and fixing his hair he finally came out of the bathroom only to see an angry Kripa at the door.
Kripa: You take as long as a girl!
Armaan: You are just annoying.
Before she could reply back he grabbed her hand and dragged her downstairs with him. As soon as he got downstairs he saw that no one had started with the cleaning'.sighhh'.everyone was out there to ruin his plans.
Armaan: Alright people get up and start working I have places to go and people to meet!
Angad: We were waiting for you'.didn't want you to miss out on anything.
Angad gave him a smirk indicating that he knew what Armaan was trying to do. Armaan just gave him a glare and plopped down on the sofa only to be pulled back up by Riddhima and Anjali.
Anjali: No time to sit! Lets get started!
Armaan: Someone seems excited to work'.come here Anjali let me make your day'tell you what'You can clean on behalf of me''awesome right?
Instead of Anjali, Kripa replied by throwing a piece of cloth at him.
Kripa: Just for that'you are gonna inaugurate this cleaning day for us!
After a bit more of arguing the six started cleaning the Khanna house. It was going to be a long day and they knew that. So to make things a bit better they blasted the music and cleaned. While Angad Kavya and Riddhima tackled all the furniture and accessories, Kripa Armaan and Anjali started with the kitchen. They did a great job, of course hitting or throwing something at Armaan once in a while when he would stop cleaning and start eating.
Within a couple of hours, they were done cleaning the huge living room; kitchen and dining room. They were pretty proud of themselves too'of course they had no idea what awaited them upstairs. They headed to Naina and Dilip's bedroom only to find it squeaky clean already so they decided to head to Riddhima's bedroom'.why? Because they all thought that out of the three Khanna kids, she would be the neatest one.
Armaan: Yeah lets finish her room first'I'm sure it's clean already..
Riddhima: Um'guys'I kinda have to unpack'
Anjali: Yeah but you must have unpacked like 2 bags to look for the dress last'.
Anjali stopped talking as she noticed Riddhima's expression. "Oh no di! You didn't unpack at all?" Anjali rolled her eyes.
Kavya sighed. "Let's get this over with then."
Armaan and Kripa being the clever ones went and grabbed the smallest bag. Angad and Kavya picked up the biggest to show how manly they were while Riddhima and Anjali just took the leftover bag.
Armaan's worst nightmare became reality when he opened the tiny and innocent looking bag. It was FILLED with tiny knickknacks'little container of jewelry, make up kits'etc.
Armaan groaned as Angad and Kavya laughed at him. He rolled back to the bed at the same time Kripa reached for one of the million boxes of Jewelry.
"GET OFF MY BED!! YOU'RE MESSING IT UP!!" Riddhima screamed.
Armaan jumped off the bed shocked while Angad and Kavya looked at Riddhima as if she was possessed. Anjali and Kripa on the other hand just rolled their eyes and gave each other a "there she goes again" look and got back to their work.
Armaan: Uh you okay?
Riddhima: NO! You are going to ruin my bed! Look at the crease!
Armaan: Its one crease'.here I will fix it.
He reached over to fix it only to be stopped by another scream of Ridhhima.
Riddhima: NOO! You don't know how to do it. Move let me do it. And if you want to sit'then sit properly.
Armaan gave the other two boys a look and decided to just sit on the floor instead.
After about twenty minutes Armaan had enough of the jewelry and make up'how can a person have so much stuff! This girl was crazy'.his doubt was confirmed. Not wanting to do this anymore he decided to get himself out of it. But he forgot that his sister knew him way too well.
Kripa: Don't even think about it.
Armaan: What?
Kripa: I know you are trying to leave'you are not going anywhere mister!
Armaan: Oh come on! I just want some water!
Angad threw a bottle of water at him "Here you go" while Armaan gave him a dirty look for ruining his plan again.
Kripa: Armaan you haven't done anything'I finished half of the bag and you only got five boxes done!
Armaan: Noo'I definitely did the half'it was you who did like two!
Kripa looked at him shocked! He did not just say that!
Kripa: How dare you! U liar!! I did all these!
Armaan: NOOO I did them!!
Kavya: Stop both of you! Armaan we all know what you do and don't do. And the fact that you lied'you are putting away all the clothes.
Armaan: But'
Kavya: By yourself!!
Armaan knew not to talk anymore or else they would just make it worse for him. So he got to the clothes that were organized on the floor. Since Angad and Kavya had taken out most of the clothes Angad decided to help out Kripa with the boxes. Before he could reach for a box he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Armaan giving him a look.
Armaan: Hey'you'remember the promise we made at the club?
Angad looked a bit embarrassed while Kripa looked at the two confused.
Kripa: What promise?
Angad: Oh nothing'we just promised to help each other out'right Armaan? I am just HELPING Kripa out.
Armaan after giving him a look decided to spare him. " Right'just help."
Kripa rolled her eyes at the two and got back to her work while Angad pretended to work on the boxes but in real kept on glancing at Kripa once in a while. Armaan went back to his clothes and started to put them in the closet. But before he had gotten even two pairs of clothes in the closet Riddhima came to him again.
Armaan: What now?
Riddhima: YOU ARE DOING IT WRONGG!!!! THAT DOES NOT GO THERE!!!
Armaan: There is nowhere else for it to go! Do you want me to put it out in the balcony? Clothes generally go in the closet!
Riddhima: Ugh! I know that! But there is a certain way to put them. Color code them and then categorize them.
Armaan just gave her a wow-you-need-a-life look while she kept on going on and on about how her clothes should be. But he had finally had enough.
Armaan: Wow you need to stop! You aren't the queen or anything and anyways these are all salwars'how much more can u categorize them? Talk about no fashion sense. You my dear need a new wardrobe'something more'young.
Hearing Armaan talk to Riddhima about her clothes Anjali and Kripa laughed only to get a glare from Riddhima.
Kripa: If you think she only wears Indian clothes'you should have seen her in London.
Anjali: Yeah then you wouldn't be saying this.
Angad who had registered Kripa's comment looked at Riddhima and then back at the two girls laughing.
Angad: Wait a minute'what do u mean by that?
Kripa and Anjali looked at each other and just went back to their work pretending they didn't hear him. He gave them both a look and then went back to what he was doing. He reached for a box of jewelry only to see that Kripa reached for the same box as well. As soon as their hands touched they both looked up at each other. He gave her a smile indicating he got it and then whispered to her so no one else would hear it.
Angad: You can take a break if you like..you finished most of it anyways. I will handle the rest.
Kripa: It's ok with both of us it can be done quicker.
Angad smiled back at her and went back to what he was doing. But his heart was dancing when she said both of us. Whatever this was'he was liking it'a lot. While Kripa also thought about what he said. "oh...he's actually nice" she thought to herself. She looked up at him again only to catch him staring at her. Both smiled at being caught and went back to their work.
After about an hour or so Kavya was done sorting out the clothes the way Riddhima wanted them out of the bag. Now Armaan just had to put them in the closet the right way. He checked the list and everything was just the way she wanted. Yeah she had ended up making a list of how she wanted her clothes and had given one to Kavya and one to Armaan.
Finally it occurred to him that he hadn't heard Anjali for a while now. In fact no one had heard her'everyone was so into their work that no one had noticed that she had not talked in a while. He looked around the room finally spotting her. The picture brought a smile to his face. There she was in the corner'dozed off. She looked so beautiful. She had a small smile on her face and she looked so peaceful. There was a piece of hair that was falling on her face which looked like it was annoying her. He forgot that he was in a room with other people'the only thing on his mind was Anjali. He almost got up to walk over across the room and move the piece of hair from her face but before he knew it he heard Kripa yell. She had looked around for a bottle of water and found Anjali sleeping instead'with more then half her bag still full.
Kripa: ANJALI!!! WAKE UPP!!!
Anjali jumped when she heard kripa. Kavya on the other hand got annoyed at his little sister. Yeah he loved her but god she could be annoying. Way to ruin a perfect moment. But he also kind of thanked her'god knows what would have happened if he had gone over to Anjali while everyone was in the room.
Riddhima: I can't believe u fell asleep! There is so much to do!
Anjali: Ugh sorry! And anyways not like you are letting us do anything.
Before they both could start arguing Kripa got them both to shut up and get back to work. After a couple more outbursts from Riddhima about how everything had to be perfect, the room was finally done. They decided to take a 15 minute break to grab some food and water, after which they headed for the next room'Anjali's room.
Anjali was about to open her door when Kavya stopped her.
Kavya: I'd like to get something cleared before I step in there'
Anjali: Yeah?
"There is no list right?" Armaan asked, giving Riddhima a look.
Anjali: Nope'I don't follow lists.
Kavya and Armaan: Perfect!
"Yeap'she doesn't follow a list" Kripa said walking towards the door. "That's why her room looks like THIS!" She threw the door open and turned around in time to see all three boys drop their jaws at the sight.
Anjali: Whatever'get to it!
The six walked in since Anjali didn't have anything in the bags and everything was on the floor, They divided up in pairs according to items this time. Armaan and Anjali took care of all the clothes. There was no way Armaan was going to deal with jewelry again. This time, Riddhima and Angad took care of Anjali's jewelry while Kavya and Kripa took care of everything else.
While Riddhima had endless amount of accessories, Anjali had clothes ridiculous amount of clothes. She had every type of cloth in every single color. You name it and she had it.
Armaan: How can you possibly have these many clothes?? Its like disgusting!
Angad: Tell me about it'and I thought Kavya had a lot of clothes!
Kavya: Hey! Why are you involving me!
Angad: Just kidding!
Kripa: Oh shut up all of you'we can argue about how many clothes she has after we are done.
Kavya rolled his eyes and turned around only to almost bump into Anjali. Anjali looked at him and something happened to her.....again.
Kavya, on the other hand fell into some deep thoughts. "She's so beautiful.....but she has too many clothes.....so what.....she must get bored of the same thing...she likes variety.....hmmm.....I wonder if she'd be the type of girls who's committed to a relationship." Kavya blinked and stepped back when Anjali raised an eyebrow at him. "wait...what the hell are you thinking Kavya?"
Anjali: I don't know...you tell me...
Kavya: what??
Anjali: how would I know what the hell Kavya is thinking?
Kavya: wait....I said that out loud?
"YES" the rest five spoke who were looking at Kavya.
Angad gave him a glare, looked at Anjali, and turned his glare back on kavya.
Kavya: Christ Anjali...you talk to much...get out of my way
Anjali just stood there with her mouth wide open. Kripa rolled her tongue in her cheek and walked up to Anjali. "Yeah...maybe you don't want to check him out while his sister's here" she whispered to Anjali.
Anjali: PLEASEE....not interested.
Kripa was going back to her work when she caught Riddhima staring at Armaan.
"Great....my best friends are checking out my brothers........maybe I should check out theirs...." she kicked herself mentally but looked at Angad anyway who was staring at her while he put some glass decoration away.......oh no....he was going to drop it.
Kripa's eyes widened in alarm and then--
"ANGAD CAREFUL!"
Her scream only startled him more and he dropped Anjali's tiny crystal teddy bear, shattering it. Kripa and Riddhima gave him a "oh-no-you-didn't!" look. Everyone's gaze slowly turned to Anjali who was frozen on the spot staring at her teddy bear on the floor'in pieces. As if on cue...Kripa and Riddhima ran to Anjali while'one held her the other covered her mouth as Anjali let out a really loud scream.
It was three hours later and nobody had said a word. Everyone just cleaned quietly'the girls were quiet because they knew Anjali would burst and she needed time and the guys stayed quiet because they were scared of Anjali'.very scared. Finally Anjali looked around the room at everyone and let out a sigh which caused everyone to look at her.. too scared for her reaction. But she surprised everyone.
Anjali: I forgive you.
Everyone looked at each other and the girls smiled. They knew that all she needed was some time and then she would be fine. Thinking of this as an opportunity Angad went to her and apologized and promised her that he would get her one that was exactly like the one that broke. She told him it was ok and then all went back to finishing up her room which they finally completed after an hour.
Not wanting to waste a nice day cleaning the house, they rushed to Angad's room. At the door, Angad stood in front of it blocking everyone's way into his room.
Angad: Behold Angad Khanna's room! No jewelry all over the place...no life-time supply of clothing either....
Looking smug, he swung the door open. The girls actually gasped out loud at how "neat" the room was. Neater than Anjali and Riddhima's for sure but there was still some cleaning left in there.
Kripa: wow...your room is actually quite clean........for a guy.......well' lets do this guys...shouldn't take us more than half an hour.
Angad smiled wide like a goof at her comment....that was the first compliment she'd given him......not exactly what he was looking for but hey...it was a start. Everyone followed Kripa in and this time, they didn't need to split up in pairs. They just took everything and put it back in its place. Armaan was on his way to put a bottle of cologne on Angad's dresser when he saw kripa on the bed, using pushpins to fix Angad's Porsche poster when an idea struck his brain.
He put the bottle away, smiled an evil smile, and made way towards the bed. Anjali and Riddhima who saw him going there got the hint of what he was about to do. They quietly got Angad and Kavya to pay attention too. Armaan on the other hand climbed up on the bed super quietly and poked Kripa's waist from both sides making her scream.
Everyone except for her burst out into waves of laughter. Kripa tried to tickle Armaan but he caught both her wrists in one hand and tickled her with the other. She struggled.....oh boy she struggled like no tomorrow to get away from him. She was way too ticklish and the way Armaan was tickling her was just torture. She didn't realize she was at the edge of the bed and the only reason she was still on the bed was because Armaan was holding her hands. She bit his hand.
"OUCHHHH!!!" Armaan screamed as he let go of her hands to look at the damage caused by Kripa. But the next thud stopped everyone from laughing. Kripa fell off the bed, butt first! They would have started to laugh again if Kripa hadn't screamed so loudly two seconds later. Angad hit his palm to his forehead knowing exactly why she screamed. She grabbed the soccer ball from the pile of junk under his bed and threw it at him.
Kripa: YOUR ROOM IS NEAT BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SHOVED UNDER YOUR BED!!! UGHHH YOU MEN ARE SUCH PIGS!!
Angad: Yes...under my bed and it would have STAYED there if you hadn't hit your butt on the floor right next to my bed!
Kripa: Well!!! my butt would still be on your bed if Armaan hadn't tickled me!
Angad took the soccer ball that he'd caught and threw it at Armaan which hit his face because he wasn't looking.
Kripa gasped and grabbed the ball, ready to throw it back at Angad when Anjali, Riddhima, and Kavya interrupted.
Anjali: okay whoa....stop fighting...I don't know about you guys but I'm definitely not enjoying being punished....so zip it all of you
Kavya: yeah'what she said!
Riddhima: Lets just bring everything out from under his bed and see how much is left to do!
Kavya: yeah'what she said...
Kripa: but there is SOO much under here'it will take us hours!!
Kavya: yeah...what she said...
Armaan: okay then'lets stop talking and get to work
Kavya: yeah...what he said
"SHUT UP KAVYA!" the other five screamed at him.
Naina: why is Kavya shutting up?
Kavya: yeah what she--...oh....Hi aunty!
Naina: hi...are you six fighting again?
Armaan: no beautiful'we're not fighting......see?
Armaan grabbed Kripa and gave her a life crushing hug showing "love". Angad and Anjali hugged each other gingerly too, while Riddhima and Kavya put their arms on each other's shoulders. All smiled an exaggerated smile.
Naina: Good! Sooo I saw the house and I must say it looks beautiful. Especially downstairs'.my kitchen looks spotless.
Kripa: Of course it was spotless aunty. Armaan was very hungry!
Armaan frowned cutely while everyone giggled.
Naina: well then...we've decided to let you off for today---
The six monkeys, as Naina liked to call them, burst into waves of cheers. When they stopped and looked at Naina again...she completed her sentence.
Naina: after you're done this room.
The six sighed but nodded anyway.
Naina: you are cleaning the Sharma house tomorrow. Have fun with this room.
After Naina left, Armaan put his arm around Kripa as if trying to choke her.
Armaan: I was hungry yeah?
Kripa: you bet!
saying that, Kripa pinched his butt.............pretty hard.
"Ouchhh! dekh lunga tumhe!"
Kripa: dekh lo.....I'm standing right in front of you.
Riddhima clapped three times to get their attention. "Stuff. Under. The. Bed. Now!!"
Everyone started taking things out from under his bed and Kripa was right...there was a LOT of stuff under there. Kripa gave Angad dirty looks as she pulled out things from under his bed while he looked at her sheepishly as he helped. They all got up to look at the heap of junk when Armaan giggled. everyone looked at him as if he's lost every bit of his sense.
Kripa: why the heck are you laughing?
Armaan: something's tickling me!
He giggled some more and pointed at his pocket while giggling.
"I'm....I'm...hehehehe..I'm...something's...haha...vibrating...hahaha...in there!"
Kripa raised an eyebrow and then gasped as she realized it must be her phone. She charged at him, went behind him and shoved her hand in his back pocket to take her phone out while the others, especially Riddhima and Anjali looked at her with their jaws dropped. Kripa looked at the scream, pressed the talk button and literally SCREAMED.
"PHILLLL!!!!!!!!" She completely forgot the hello or hey. Following her, Anjali and Riddhima screamed in excitement too.
"OH MY GOD HOW ARE---AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Kripa screamed as Anjali tackled her onto Angad's bed and Riddhima jumped on the two of them'all three fighting for the phone.
Armaan: o my gosh...I have died and gone to Women's boxing ring.....someone pinch me.
Both Angad and Kavya pinched either one of his arms making him scream. Finally Kripa grabbed the phone and started talking to Phil again.
Kripa: OMGGGG!!! How are you?????
Phil: Haha relax girls! I'm great and from what I'm hearing right now you are great too?
Kripa: YES!! OMG PHILLY! I'm so glad I finally got to talk to ---
Anjali: PHILLLL!!! MY LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Kavya's head snapped in the direction of Anjali when she said that. Who is this Phil? And why are they so excited?
Riddhima: PHILLL!!! OMGGG I cant believe you called!!! Finally!!! Didn't you miss me????
Phil: Of course I missed you sweetie! How are you?
The conversation went on and on with Phil as the girls snatched the phone from each other while the boys looked on angrily, annoyed and confused. They didn't like the fact that this "Phil" was getting so much attention from the girls. As if on cue the phone dropped from Anjali's hand as Riddhima and Kripa were trying to get it from her. Taking this opportunity Angad grabbed the phone from the floor.
"uh-oh" Armaan and Kavya said in unison and the next second, Angad was tackled by all three girls, Kripa landing right on top of him. Anjali grabbed the phone and ran out of the room, followed by Riddhima who was followed by Kavya and Armaan. They were very curious about this Phil or Philly...whichever. No one bothered to notice that Angad and Kripa were still on the floor with Kripa on top of Angad.
Both were lost in each others eyes. Or whatever it was called. The only thing running through Angad's head was that she looked beautiful. He gently took his hand out from under her and pushed the little bit of her hair back that was coming in her eye. Kripa was caught in a trance by his this action. He was definitely gorgeous. That perfect face. Whoa what? Did she really say Angad Khanna had a perfect face? Well there was no denying'he did have a gorgeous face. But then he opened his mouth and she came back to reality.
Angad: You know I would love to get tackled by you like this more often.
Kripa: Oh really? I would love to tackle you hard enough and break a bone or something of yours or something.
Angad: if you're the one injuring me.....I'll take it.....I mean.......you injure me every time you look at me anyway.
What the heck was he talking about.........clearly the man did not talk as nicely as he looked. "i do?" she asked confused.
Angad: of course you do....especially yesterday....you know....the first time i saw you.....you kind of gave me a heart attack.
Kripa: oh...too bad it wasn't severe enough to kill you.
Angad: really now? looking at you right now, it doesn't look like you want me dead...
Kripa: what do you mean?
Angad just raised his eyebrows indicating that it couldn't get anymore obvious. Kripa looked down at her hands, which were on his shoulders. She quickly shuffled around to get up but the first time she stood up, she just fell back into Angad's lap.
Angad: see what i mean....you don't want me dead.....you keep coming back to me...
"You really should keep that mouth of yours shut." She said as she got up and walked out of the room, turning around once in the doorway to give him a glare to which he just replied by a wink. "God i hate him!" She thought to herself as she walked out leaving Angad behind who just laid back down on the floor smiling and recalling all his encounters with Kripa. But his thoughts got interrupted as he felt something hurt his shoulder. He got up and saw that it was bracelet...Kripa's bracelet. A big smile formed on his face as he put the bracelet in his pocket.
Next part: Sharma house cleaning....a bit of bonding...lots of fun and masti.
