Part 15
"This is absolutely insane'I refuse to do this room!!" Armaan yelled the millionth time as Kripa gave him a glare.
Armaan: Stop giving me that look! What in the world is wrong with you??? Just look at this!!
Both Angad and Kavya agreed with Armaan this time. When they had met up earlier they had decided to do Kripa's room first thinking that it wouldn't be so bad but when they walked into her room it was a whole other story. No her room wasn't messy in fact it was pretty clean'but the reason being'she had unpacked only two bags to find a dress for the party. The rest of the bags were still there. Yes the rest of the BAGS! The woman had 4 other unpacked bags!
Armaan: What in god's name did you bring back with you? And wait a minute how did they let you bring all these bags on the plane?
Kripa: Umm'I got them shipped here.
Kavya gave her a I-don't-believe-you look. While Angad just couldn't digest the fact that she had 6 bags! SIX! And no they weren't small bags'they were huge suitcases!
Anjali: huh....I would have thought you two would know her better...I mean...she IS your sister after all.....how does this even surprise you guys?
Riddhima: yeah I mean...According to how much stuff she owned....she hasn't brought much....trust us on that one we shared a house with this one for years.
Armaan: Well she was fine before going to London.
He gave a look to Riddhima as he said this only to receive a dirty look from her. Then he turned to Kavya and shook his head.
Armaan: See I told you sending her to London was a bad idea! But no one ever listens to me!
Kripa glared at them shutting them up. Then she turned back to the boys. "You think this is bad? wait until you see Armaan's room."
Angad: why? what's in Armaan's room?
Armaan: nothing...she doesn't know what she's talking about....lets go start working on Her highness's huge suitcases or else we'll never get to my room and I already wasted yesterday doing all this cleaning stuff....I don't want to waste tomorrow on this....
Armaan went and opened the smallest of the four bags (so typical.) and groaned loudly seeing its content.
"No no no Kripa! You already have ENOUGHHH stuffed animals. I mean...look around your room sister....where are you going to keep these new fellas now?" He complained.
While he continued muttering about Kripa's girly stuffed animal-fetish, Kavya walked up to another bag and opened it. His worst nightmare. Shoes. Loads and loads of them.
Kripa: oh...bhai...careful with those....those are my most cherished pairs.
Kavya: these?? Its equivalent of junk!
He hooked his finger through a strap of a shoe and lifted it up, raising an eyebrow.
Anjali: That piece of junk you're holding, my friend, cost 200 dollars.
Kavya: 200 dollars for a pair of shoes??? are you crazy kripa...
Kripa: hey...I got those when they were on sale....I got 50% off on those. Its limited version of --
Armaan: okay...we don't want to know...can we get on with the cleaning.......Angad.....stop standing there and smiling like a monkey....man up and open up a bag would you?
Angad rolled his eyes and picked up another bag. He froze when he heard metal clinging together inside.
"okay....tell me she doesn't have weapons in this...." he said making kripa roll her eyes along with Riddhima and Anjali
"seriously bhai........some company" Riddhima gave a look to Armaan "has really messed around with your sense of humor."
Angad: then what's in here?
Kripa: open it up and you'll see, Mr. smarty.
Angad carefully laid the bag on its side and opened the locks. The first thing he found was a picture frame, the size of the bag which had a picture of Kripa, Riddhima and Anjali. Just like yesterday, Anjali and Riddhima tackled him out of the way when they saw the picture.
Anjali: awww...you brought these with Kripsie?
"kripsie?" all three guys said at the same time and looked at an embarrassed Kripa.
For the next few minutes, the guys just watched on as the girls pulled out each photo frame and recalled the occasion that went along with it.
Feeling someone's constant stare, Kripa looked up to see all three boys staring at them. She pulled out a picture and held it out in front of Angad.
Kripa: this is what we meant by Riddhima's wardrobe in London.
Angad looked at the picture and back and Riddhima....back and forth. back and forth. then Kavya stood up, putting his hands on his hip.
Kavya: why are you dressed like that Kripa?
Kripa: bhai...its a tank top...and shorts....chill would you?
Armaan: no tank-tops...only turtlenecks.
Angad: I agree.
Anjali: really now bhai....we don't say anything when you roam around in nothing but a pair of shorts at home....at least we have CLOTHES on.
Riddhima: yes....would you like us to follow YOUR style sense?
"NO!!" all three yelled at the same time.
"Great. then deal with this." Kripa said taking the picture back. Then Anjali pulled out a picture of them three and Phil. Phil was lying on the couch on his stomach while all three girls sat on his back.
Riddhima: aww...remember this??? Philly was so hyper that day!!
Kripa: yeahhh and the cake batter fight afterwards!! what a day!!
obviously at the mention of Phil, all three guys were all over the picture. Armaan laughed out loud confusing the girls.
Kripa: what?
Armaan: oh man...he's crushed by you three...pfft....some guy...he doesn't look too manly....is he gay?
Anjali and Riddhima looked at kripa who just smiled and nodded. The next thing Armaan knew...he was being tickled and pushed around by three girls while Kavya and Angad just sat on the floor laughing. After Armaan was pushed onto the bed, all three girls climbed up and sat on him. Angad and Kavya took out their phones and took pictures right away.
Angad: yeah...dude.......you dont look so manly right now either....
"is he gay?" Kavya imitated Armaan.
"okay that's IT!" Armaan said before he rolled over. Kripa and Anjali fell off of him on the bed but he rolled completely off the bed, taking Riddhima with. He quickly put his hand under her head so she wouldn't get hurt and then both fell on the floor with a thud. Armaan on top of Riddhima, definitely a sight to see.
He half expected her to yell and scream but she was...........wait a minute....was she blushing??!! A second later, he realized that she wasn't blushing...her face was ref because of anger. She pushed him off of herself and glared at him.
Riddhima: how dare you touch me?!
Armaan: excuse ME!! You were the one sitting on me...you touched me first...that....that was just...revenge touch!
Riddhima rolled her eyes and got back to work and so did Armaan. From that point till the room was clean, they all worked quietly. Each one had their own thoughts going on, obviously. Anjali and Kavya were busy stealing glances and thinking of how great the other was while Angad and Kripa were having a similar interaction. Angad was looking at her....sneaking in winks when she looked at him and thought how cute and adorable she was while she was coming up with all the reasons she should hate Angad Khanna for. Riddhima was sneaking in a glare or two every now and then in Armaan's direction while he was making up the perfect prank in his brain......for Riddhima....and of course...thinking about food.
Armaan was about to run off to the kitchen but as usual, Kripa knew the tricks he normally had up his sleeve. She dragged him back towards his room where everyone was headed. As they stood there, everyone looked at him, confusing him even more.
Armaan: okay....I understand that I'm hot and all but seriously....the fact that my brother, my sister, and another man...by the way that's you Angad.....staring at me is a little creepy.
Angad: oh I'm staring at you alright....but not because you're.....I'm air quoting....HOT...but because I, along with everyone else is waiting for you to make the announcement about your room. You know......any bags full of photo frames like Kripa or particular lists like Riddhima
Kripa: or a whole bunch of junk under your bed like Angad.
Kripa glared back at him. Armaan put his hands on his hip and tilted his head sideways.
Armaan: well....I am Armaan Sharma after all....no secrets you know. Everything you need to know is out in the open.
Saying so, He flung open the door. The next second...Armaan heard a mixture of groans and "Oh my god" from the awaiting crowd. Kripa hit her palm on her forehead while Kavya dramatically fell backwards feigning fainting. Angad stared with his mouth wide open. Anjali had her eyes covered and was peeking from between her fingers as if that would make his room any better. His room was spectacular..........spectacularly MESSY. Clothes everywhere. Books and papers everywhere. Sports gear. Cologne bottles. Hair gel bottles. Shoes. His closet was empty...of course it was empty...everything was out in the open.
Riddhima: Yeap...everything is out in the open alright.
Kripa: You are sick!!!!! I can't believe you are my brother! This is disgusting! I am not doing this'.no no Nooo!!!
She started to walk away only to be pulled back by Armaan and then pushed into the room. The rest followed her in as she kept on rambling on and on while Armaan imitated her behind her back.
"Don't think I don't know that you're imitating me behind my back Armaan." Kripa growled as she put away Armaan's shoes.
Armaan was startled for a second....he actually looked at the back of her head to make sure she hadn't developed eyes there! Even yesterday when he was in the bathroom she had known what he was doing. He had to investigate this..but for now he had to start cleaning his room..keeping in mind to check on Kripa later.
Kavya followed Armaan's gaze and knew exactly what he was thinking. "yeah.....she grew up with us, you know......she knows all about you and your moronic activities.
Armaan: really now...I didn't know you'd still say this after me and Kripa nearly gave you a heart attack a few years ago.......remember....the fridge trick?
Kripa burst out into laughter along with Armaan. The brother and sister walked up to each other and gave each other a high five. The Khanna kids just stood and stared at the three.
Angad: wait....what trick?
Kripa: it was more like a prank.....
Anjali: Ooohh....I wanna know all about it.
Armaan: so..haha....we hahahahahha...kind of you know......HA HA HA HA HA.
Riddhima rolled her eyes. "either finish laughing first...or tell us the story and laugh later......eesh....i don't understand a word you're saying."
Kripa: okay so basically.....mom and dad weren't home....Armaan and I were getting bored so we came up with the prank....first we emptied out the fridge and put everything away in the cupboard and then I yelled for Kavya saying that I put his slice of cake in the fridge and then Armaan yelled right after me saying that whoever got it out of the fridge first gets it and then he shoved himself in the fridge and closed the door....I was recording for behind the door of the pantry....Kavya came running...opened the door and screamed!
Armaan: the most girly scream I've ever heard in my life.....and he looked like he was about to cry!!
Everyone started laughing again when Armaan imitated the scream and the expression on Kavya's face. Kavya pouted and sat on the bed annoyed. Seeing him Armaan told all of them to shut up and not to make fun of his brother and then went to Kavya and sat down next to him. He looked at Kavya, gave him a hug and screamed really loudly in his ear imitating Kavya's scream again. This time making Kavya laugh as well. And again they all got back to work.
Kripa: Armaan..who is Simran? And why do you have her bracelet?
Armaan looked at Kripa who had a bracelet in her hand. He quickly grabbed the bracelet from her and put it in his pocket.
Armaan: OH um no one. Just this girl.
Kripa: Which girl? OMGGG ARMAAN SHARMA ARE YOU IN LOVEEE?????
Armaan looked at her as if she was crazy! And this time it was Kavya and Angad's turn to laugh. Obviously Kripa had no idea about Armaan and his various girlfriends.
Angad: Yeah Armaan..why don't you tell your sister about Simran?
Armaan: She is no one. Just a girl'from school. You know'a friend'um'yeah'.what Kripa'don't listen to Angad you know how stupid he is.
Kripa gave Armaan a knowing look indicating she totally agreed with him while Angad gave him a-meet-me-later-and-I-kill-you look. He then looked at Kripa and just gave her an embarrassed smile while she smirked and got back to work. After working for about four hours finally Armaan's room was spotless. It was finally clean like never before.
Kripa: If this room becomes anything less then what it is right now'I will personally come and murder you in your sleep Armaan Monkey Sharma!
She gave him a threatening look and walked out of the room while he just smiled at her not reacting. After all he knew how she would react when she saw Kavya's room. But all his hopes came crashing down as they all got to Kavya's room. The room was pretty decent'not that bad'just a couple clothes here and there and a couple books around'other then that everything seemed ok. Anjali gave Kavya a smile while he just sighed at how beautiful she was.
anjali: wow....finally a decent room.....
Kripa: wait a minute.....not falling for this again....
kripa walked to the side of the bed and looked under to find.....................................................absolutely nothing!! She was so happy she ran to kavya and gave him a hug.
Kripa: oh bhai..thank you thank you thank you!!
Anjali: yeapp....just a few things...Kripa....fold the blanket properly and I'll put these books away and we'll be done.
Kripa: yeap...oh by the way...bhai keeps his books in the closet.
uh oh. Kavya turned around to look at Anjali who was about to open his closet. "um DONT --" before he could finish, Anjali opened the closet and became the victim of a junk avalanche. There was so much stuff in there, that she was actually knocked onto the floor and buried in everything that fell from in there. everything was quiet for a few seconds as everyone turned to glare at Kavya. everyone except Armaan. He was staring at Anjali, sitting surrounded by Kavya's clothes, socks, books, sport gear... underwears even! He grabbed his stomach, sat on the floor and burst out into a huge wave of laughter. He was literally Rolling on the floor laughing...
Kripa looked at him disgustedly then back at Kavya. "I WANT A REFUND ON THAT HUG BHAI!" she said annoyed.
Armaan continued laughing as if he were on laughing gas.
"SHUT UP ARMAAN!" Screamed the other five
Anjali sat up and started throwing anything and everything she could get in her hand at Kavya. While the other 4 minus Armaan who was still on the floor laughing just moved to the side and let her do what she was doing. He deserved every bit of it. Finally when she was done she got up and went to Armaan and smacked him on his head to make him shut up
Armaan: but I--
His words came short as Kripa smacked him in the back of his head, just like Anjali had. seeing him get smacked twice, Kavya and Angad started laughing. In turn, they were both smacked on the head by Riddhima at the same time. Anjali then turned to Kavya.
Anjali: YOU'THIS'SO'OMG!!
Kripa: What she means to say is'you are cleaning this room by yourself'I QUIT!!
Armaan: Me too!
Kripa: Actually no'make Armaan clean it too.
Angad: HAHAH! Perfect! Alright Armaan get to it!
Anjali: Bhai'just for that obnoxious comment'you are cleaning too.
Riddhima: Perfect'this will teach you three to be a little clean! You PIGS!
She eyed Armaan as she said the last bit and got a sock thrown at her by him. But the girls had made their decision. There was no way they were going to clean this. Not possible! After a lot of arguing and blackmailing the guys finally agreed to clean the rooms themselves. The girls went downstairs as the boys started cleaning. After a couple hours they were finally done. The girls inspected the room and gave their nod. Finally all the cleaning was complete. Now they could relax. Everyone went back downstairs and relaxed while Armaan went to the kitchen to get food. Kripa was about to follow him but she stopped when she heard the door bell and went to get that instead. She smiled as she saw the person. She recognized him from the party and how he had flirted with her. She knew exactly why he had that shocked expression on his face.
Kripa: Hi Abhi
Abhi: Um'hi'.what are you doing here? Don't tell me another one of Armaan's flings? You refused to be my friend last night and now you re here'that's not very nice.
Abhi put a hand on his heart pretending to be hurt while Kripa chuckled.
Kripa: Armaan's flings? Abhi you and I are gonna be best friends and we are gonna start by you telling me all about his "flings"
Abhi: Oh with pleasure'but why are you here again?
Kripa: Well this is my house'I am Armaan and Kavya's sister.
Abhi: WHAT?!?!
