Ok, so Happy IPKKND Jashn peeps! This is happening! I still can't believe it. Anyway, since it is happening, this real weird idea started playing in my mind. And, this drabble happened. Do let me know what you think of it. I don't know how much sense this makes.Ignore the typos.Um, Cherrybloom1, I know this is not the two shot I promised you, but since you are probably used to my not posting stories on schedule, I hope this makes for a decent belated birthday gift.
Drabble: A Phone Conversation 3yrs later
Khushi: Arnav, if we were a love story on Indian tv, what would our 3yrs later be like?
Arnav: It would have me telling you to get back to work & let me work, too.
Khushi: Laad Governor! Take a lunch break & answer my question.
Arnav: *sighs* Khushi, it is 11am. Nobody takes a lunch break at the time. I have a meeting in 15, by the way.
Khushi: That's all the time needed for this.
Arnav: No.
Khushi: Humour me. Please.
Arnav: Unbelievable! Ok. What was your question? Where I think we'll be 3yrs later?
Khushi: No. Go back 3yrs in time. And, tell me what you think would have happened today, as you saw it back then, but as a love story on Indian tv.
Arnav: That is so twisted. I am not even sure if I followed what you said.
Khushi: Do you want me to explain it to you?
Arnav: God, no! Let me think.
Khushi: So?
Arnav: It has been 2 seconds. Give me a minute, woman!
Khushi: Ok..ok.
Arnav: This doesn't make sense. But wouldn't we have fought & got back together like a 1000 times if we were on Indian tv?
Khushi: I don't know. We are us! We are for hamesha, even on Indian tv.
Arnav: I don't know whether to be worried for your sanity or to feel secure about us.
Khushi: Continue.
Arnav: Why this interrogation, anyway?
Khushi: You remember that show I used to watch 3yrs ago?
Arnav: Of course, the one with the crazy chick & the dude with anger management issues?
Khushi: You do realise you just described us?
Arnav: What? No! No way. Did I?
Khushi: Yes, you did. Anyway, that show is coming back.
Squeee!
Arnav: What the! Damn it! I had barely gotten respite from the madness that it aggravates in you! And, stop squealing before all the doubts your assistant has about your sanity gets confirmed.
Khushi: Oh please! It's just a reunion for a small mini series, an epilogue like thing, anyway. Don't whine. It's set 3yrs later & this idea came to mind. What if that were us? Wait, what? My assistant doubts my sanity?
Arnav: Yeah, I wonder why. Anyway, don't start on that please. I have a meeting.
Khushi: Fine! Ok, so? What if that couple was us?
Arnav: *snort* As if we would do the stupid stuff they did.
Khushi: Yeah. We did worse. Will you get back to the point now that you know what's triggered this?
Arnav: Only if you promise not to stay awake till midnight writing...what was it called...fan fiction! For God's sake, woman, you run a restaurant. Your head-chef will flip if you sleep in the office instead.
Khushi: You are so annoying. Calling you was a mistake.
Arnav: No, it wasn't. Promise
Khushi: Ok. Fine. I promise. I should get something out of this phone call, too.
Arnav: Oh. We can-
Khushi: No, don't start off. I just want the answer.
Arnav: *sigh* I am a little clueless. Help me, here.
Khushi: Ummm. We would have a kid, right? Or would be thinking of making one?
Arnav: Is this your twisted way of telling me we are pregnant or that you want us to get pregnant?
Khushi: What? No. This is still very hypothetical.
Arnav: Well, it is an idea. I do love what goes into making babies. And, I can vouch for your loving it, too.
Khushi: Arnav!!! Focus. You & your one track mind. Sex scenes aren't allowed on Indian tv. It is all very implied.
Arnav: Huh? How do they do that?
Khushi: Well, they...uh...have the man open the woman's dori.
Arnav: Is this dori holding up the entire dress?
Khushi: What? No.
Arnav: Then, what is the point?
Khushi: *laughs* You are hopeless.
Arnav: Want me to open that dori tonight?
Khushi: That was smooth.
Arnav: See! Not quite hopeless, after all. I have to rush, though. Get back to work. Stop looking up stuff on that show online. I'll see you in the evening. Be ready. We can't be late to the party.
Khushi: You know, Raizada. I was planning to wear this red saree...
Arnav: Ok, that's great. I'll be staring at you all evening, but that's ok.
Khushi: And the blouse has a dori at the back...just saying.
Arnav: ...
Khushi: Hello? Arnav? Are you there?
Arnav: F***! Did you just make dori opening sound like an invitation for sin?
Khushi: Is it working?
Arnav: I am beginning to see why it works on Indian tv.
Khushi: Really?
Arnav: We are so getting out of that party soon to do some dori opening of our own. Staying at the party is going to be so hard.
Khushi: No doubt, you would know how hard. *laughs*
Arnav: *groan* Either stop it or we go home right away & start opening doris.
Khushi: You are so easy, Raizada. Go, work.
Arnav: Vixen.
Khushi: Laad Governor.
