CHAPTER -2 LOVE THAT AWAITS!!
"Well…….my passport has a problem" sighed NK.
"What problem do you have in your passport NK Bhai? Is it serious?" asked Akash. All the laughter and smiles were gone. All were worried now. Arnav, Khushi and Payal were waiting for NK to answer.
"Some information is incorrect as some documents are missing" NK sighed again. He looked at Akash with sad eyes.
"But you already have a passport so how can it have a problem now? Did you get a call from the passport office or the embassy or something?"
"Ahhaa!" NK literally wept.
"What is the problem NK?" asked Arnav in a bit of agitation.
"My status says single…..and…" NK said.
"OH come on NK Bhai!! Jokes apart…..what document is missing out of a sudden?" asked Akash ignoring NK's earlier answer. Khushi and Payal shared a look.
"My marriage certificate is missing…." NK said once again. Arnav threw his hands up in the air.
"But your not married Nanhe ji" Khushi said.
"That's the whole problem….!! " NK confessed.
"You were saying there is a problem with your passport?" Akash was still confused.
"Well I want my passport to state that I am married and for that I need a marriage certificate and for that I need to get married and for that I need a girl" Nk said while getting up from the dining table and the rest followed him.
"So for confirmation…...you did not receive any official call from any government office….and your passport is alright…?" Akash asked from NK.
"No….I did not" NK said.
"Okay…you deal with this….I have to go for that deal…." Said Arnav. He and Akash were away from NK. NK was sitting on the sofa accompanied by Payal and Khushi.
"But Bhai…I need to go with you…it's a very big deal…." Akash said worried. He wanted to help in the deal as it would prove to be very useful for their business. He trusted Arnav more than himself in business but he was the one who was working on all the research and everything related to it.
"Loo Akash…aman has all the details too right…and rest I can manage…you need to stay here and help NK…." Arnav said with all the modesty and humble tone.
"But Bhai…." Akash hesitated.
"Look Akash…..I would stay here but you know I am not good at all this stuff….and we have to help NK no matter what….." Arnav said in a persistent tone.
"Bhai…are you okay" asked Akash as he saw his cousin in a very emotional manner. He had not seen Arnav like that since Shyam incident.
"Akash….NK is the one who helped Khushi….and he helped me also many times…..you need to be with him. I will meet you guys in the evening. But you keep me informed abut what is going on here" said Arnav. It was his own of taking care of NK.
"And you keep me informed about the deal ok" said Akash with a smile.
Soon, Arnav went to the office. And Akash went back to NK.
NK was sitting on the sofa with a sad face. Khushi and Payal were still trying to console him.
" I am fine Khushi ji …..Payal Bhabi….." NK tried to console himself more than anything.
"Okay NK bhai…all sadness gone…now lets talk what is going on in that head of yours…"
NK appreciated the care that he received. He knew that the family loved him but he loved the special treatment that he was receiving today.
"Akash..I was just thinking that I do not have that special one in my life. And I don't understand why?!" NK said getting up from the sofa. He was really very sad at his situation.
"Yeah NK bhai..I never wondered this before…...you really don't have anyone….no girl friends? You did not have anyone in Australia too?
"No…I did have a girlfriend there but well…..she was there and did not want to come here….she never really loved me…." NK said disheartened.
"You had a girlfriend? How come you never told us?" Akash asked.
"Well….nobody asked me and the situation never came up" NK said honestly.
"But why did you break up?" asked Akash. Khushi and Payal were equally surprised.
"I know right……I am handsome…I am smart…I am hot….I am funny….I am happening….. still…." NK said with yet again a sad smile on his face. He was remembering his past.
"Still what?...what happened" asked Khushi again curious as to what happened.
