PART 1
Aakash was pacing up and down his room and NK followed him. Every time Aakash took an unusual turn he banged on to NK
Ak: NK bhai aap kya kar rahe hai?
NK: kya Aakash kya? With enthusiasm.
Ak: NK bhai (he said bitting his nails) main kuch'
NK: tumko sukh lagi hai?
Ak: kya?
NK: you want something to eat?
Ak: oh NK bhai'sukh nahi bhookh'aur nahi NK bhai mujhe bhookh nahi hai'mujhe tension ho rahi hai'
NK: kis baat ke liye Aakash? Payel bhabhi se baat nahi hui?
Ak: wahi toh problem hai'unhone keh diya hai ki jab tak ma haan nahi bolti who mujhse shaadi nahi karengi'
NK: ooo aakash tumhe kitni dukhi ho rahi hogi aakash'
Arnav had just entered Aakash's room to talk to him about work'
A: dukh NK
NK: wahi wahi'
A: kya baat hai Aakash tumhe kis baat ka problem hai?
Ak: bhai meri aur payelji ki shaadi nahi hogi?
A: oh that'talk to Payel'NK se baat karke kya faayda?
NK: nanav! I am very useful' main bahut zaroorat mand hoon'
A: yeah as if'
NK turned to Aakash, he had an idea
NK: Aakash mere paas hai tasveer hai'tum Payel bhabhi ke saath jhaag lo' now'
A: what?
NK: tasveer nanav tumko hindi nahi aati'plan'
Arnav's jaws tightened'
A: tarkeeb and what the hell's jhaag ?
AK: bhaag bhai' elope'!
A: what the'? Elope? Are you crazy? (To NK')
NK: nanav aur koi mara nahi hai'do prem panchi ko milana hai' making a bird with his hands.
A: what are you saying? He was totally confused.
Ak: bhai wo keh rahe hai ki aur koi chara nahi hai'do love birds ko milana hai'aur sahi toh keh rahe hai bhai'ma toh haan blone se rahi'
NK: haan nanav ,Aakash poori zindagi kachra hi reh jayega'
A: kunwara'and then he glared at Aakash
Aakash hung his head'
A: Payel jaanti hai?
Ak: nahi bhai'
A: toh tum kya NK ke saath bhagoge'? Talk to her first'
Ak: bhai wo nahi manegi'
A: what the'? Toh what are you planning?
NK: main jatata hoon nanav'
Arnav hated the term Nanav
His jaws tightened
A: batata hoon'batao'
NK: see nanav hum Payel bhabhi ke ghar jayege'unka naam pakaudenge'
AK: pukarenge NK bhai'
NK: wahi wahi'haan toh fir hum maar ke peeche chup jayenge warna humein jhaar paregi na'then Payel bhabhi bahar aayegi aur Aakash unse baat karlega'kaisi lagi?
A: tum logo ko obviously yeh nahi pata ki Payel aur Khushi ek room share karte hai aur what ever the name be Khushi bahar aayegi Payel nahi'
NK: Khushiji bahar aayegi toh main unse baat karoonga'aur fir main unhe boloongaaa'(NK's special tone)
Arnav's anger towards the nanav got converted to jealousy'
A: bahut hi ganda plan hain'
AK: toh bhai kya kare?
A: call her'
AK: wo baat hi nahi karna chahti bhai'aap hi koi upay batao na'
NK: Aakash nanav kya batayga Khushi ji se baat karte hai'woh Payel bhabhi ki behen haiii'(NK's tone)
A: as you wish magar khushi ke ajeebo gareeb plans ke karan problem mein pare toh don't come to me'
Ak: isi liye toh keh raha hoon bhai aap bhi chalo na khushiji hatke plans banati hai aur aap logically sochte ho'please bhai'
A: no way Aakash'
Aakash looked at NK and NK looked at him and winked. Arnav's eyebrows shot up seeing that. The next moment he saw both of them on the floor kneeling infront of him.
Ak: please bhai
NK: please nanav'
A: ok ok fine'get up'Unbelievable'
He walked out
A: chalo'
They reached gupta house the trio got down from the car and stood there looking at khushi's room.
Ak: jao na bhai
NK: haan haan nanav jao'
A: wait. Hall ke lights on hai matlab koi'
NK: bhaga hua hai' in excitement.
Arnav looked at NK less in disgust and more in frustration
A: jaga hua hai'
They waited for 15 more minutes when finally all the lights were turned off'
A to Ak: jao andar aur'
Ak: bhai aap jao na jaake Khushi ji se baat karo main uske baad andar jaoonga'
A: tumhe Payel ke saath bhaagna hai mujhe Khushi ke saath nahi'
NK: main chala jata hoon Khushi ji se elope karne'
A: what?
NK: I mean elope ke liye baat karne'nanav'
A: koi zaroorat nahi hai main jaake baat karoonga'
He climbed up the balcony stairs and reached the platform he walked upto Khushi's room window and pushed it'he found that it was open. He turned back and gestured Aakash and NK to come and stand there while he would go in and talk'
He said in his mind "agar Aakash mera bhai nahi hota toh I would have never done this'"
He jumped into the room silently' and started walking towards their bed. Khushi slept on the other side so he had to cross the bed and go to Khushi'the room wasn't well lit but it was not fully dark'he managed to reach Khushi's side and leaned over her to call her by her shoulder. He whispered. He didn't want Payel to wake up before Khushi did.
A: Khushi'!! Khushi!!
Khushi half opened her eyes and say someone that looked like Arnav.
She smiled and mumbled " laad governor!! Raat ko ' mere '" she sat up instantly'
"KYA? AAP?"
Arnav quickly stooped down and lay flat on the floor'
Payel too sat up "kya hua Khushi? Bura sapna dekha?"
Khushi turned to Payel and noticed 2 figures standing at the window'they faintly resembled Aakash and NK' her eyes widened' Payel was about to turn around to turn on the lamp light when Khushi stopped her, though confused she realised that Arnav won't be at her home at this time without any logical reason'
K: "jiji'kuu..kuuch nahi hua'.chaliye so jate hai'" she forced her to lie down.
She kept on sitting'
P: kya hua leto'? She pulled her down. Khushi sat up again'
K: "main paani peeke aati hoon'"
She turned around and forgetting that Arnav was on the floor she stood up on his back and
A: "aah oh!!"
Khushi tumbled and fell down on the floor next to him.
Payel sat up'
P: "kya hua? Gir kaise gayi???"
K: "main thik hoon jiji'bas light mat on karna'"
P: "kya? Aur wo aawaz'?"
Khushi was still on the floor holding her ears and apologising to Arnav'
She sat up
K: " aawaz? Kaisi aawaz? Oh yeh'? Yeh toh main thi''aah jiji oh jiji'''meri pyaari ji'
P: pagal kahin ki'bakwas bandh kar aur chup chap so ja aake'"
K: "haan haan bas ek minute'" she lied down on the floor next to Arnav again and whispered'
K: "aap yahan kya kar rahe hai?"
A: "Aakash ko Payel se shaadi karni hai'"
K: "magar mami ji?"
A: "wo bhaag ke shaadi karna chahta hai'"
Khushi yelled, "BHAAG'" Arnav glared
Payel sat up again
P: "ab kya hua?, kya bhaag?"
K: ch-ch-ch-chuha'bhaag bhaag chuha'chuha jiji'"
P; bahut hogaya tera'she turned around and turned on the light'
She looked up at the window'Aakash had hid himself behind the window but NK was still standing there and he sported a smile on his face and waved at Payel.
Arnav was still on the floor clueless of what had just happened. Khushi was dumbstuck and didn't know what to do. She was on her knees next to a lying on th floor Arnav.
NK: hi Payel bhabhi, hi Khushi ji
Arnav muttered under his breadth:"what the'?"
P: aap? Aap yahan kya kar rahe hai nanheji'itne raat ko?" Payel was totally confused.
