Nice plot, I liked it. Loved loved Bulbul's rambling of Purab Khanna..😆
And then speaking the idea of boss and secretary falling in love was too cute, Purab all hiding his smile, then responding glad he is not the one she assumed to be was fun!Bulbul's prophesy of Pragya's dream boy seems to come true in a while, that photo showing marriage proposals was too typical, liked Pragya's thoughts about squeaky guys, but she'll herself get surprised by her soulmate.., on the whole nice interactions..Great work, continue soon!!
After saying goodbye to the kind-hearted girl she had met at the mandir, Supriya sat in the car. She had requested the driver to take her to Aaliyah's house so she could tell her all about Abhi's insistence on marrying Tanu.
Aaliyah opened the door and saw dadi, who she greeted with a massive embrace. "Dadi, oh my lovely dadi. How are you? Sit, sit! I was going to come over tomorrow." Aaliyah chirped. "And how is bhai dadi?"
"Oh ho Aaliyah, I am fine" Supriya smiled. "You tell me, how is damadji?
"Arreh dadi, where do I begin? Ever since we've come back from our honeymoon, Suresh just needs an opportunity to get back to work. I've already began to hassle him" Aaliyah laughed while dadi simply shook her head and smiled. "Pagli"
"Dadi, bhai kahan hai? Did he not come?"
"Aaliyah, don't even talk about him."
"Dadi, what's wrong?" Aaliyah asked raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Aaliyah, i insisted he get married. I have such pretty pictures of these single girls, but no. He can't see anyone beyond that Tanu."
"Uhhh bhai and Tanu. For god's sake. Bhai never seems to go for the right girl's dadi.
"Vahi toh Aaliyah, Vahi toh!" Dadi smiled victoriously glad someone was finally agreeing with her. "Aaliyah, I met this girl at the mandir today and she was very sweet and lovely. Perfect in my eyes. She knew how to speak to people, she seems like a very good child and best of all, she's not married" dadi commented with a twinkle in her eye.
Aaliyah smiled before shaking her head slightly. "Dadi, you can't just throw any girl onto bhai like that, especially if he wants to marry Tanu." Supriya's smile faltered slightly. "Ehh vii, why not? Dadi hoon mai uski." Aaliyah shook her head and held on to dadi's hands. Leaning forward slightly, she stared at her and spoke in a gentle tone. "Dadi, I know you don't like Tanu, neither do I, but bhai likes her. He thinks he wants to get married to her. We've got to support him and trust his judgement."
"Aaliyah, this you are saying? You know how silly Abhi is when it comes to worldly things. Being a rock star, he is so innocent when it comes to some people's mentalities?"
"Exactly dadi, that's why we need to protect him"
"By letting him get married to someone who values money than norms, who celebrates life through wins and seeks happiness through materialism.. and that's not even all of it After marriage, god knows what she will do!"
"Dadi, I'm not denying whatever you say. It is true, but bhai needs to see this for himself. Bhai needs to realise what love is, what life is. If we tell him all this, it'll help him realise but it will not hit him. He needs to be hit with love, with thought. Someone who understands him, someone who will teach him, share experiences with him."
"Fine Aaliyah, but you must help me with this; I can't see her as my daughter-in-law. Just no" Dadi screeched. Aaliyah nodded her head in approval and comforted dadi.
Bhai, why do you always pick the wrong girl?
"Yaar Bulbul, can we switch jobs?"
"Rachna, what is wrong with you? Since when do you want my job?" Bulbul queried.
"Oh ho Bulbul, boss is so hot."
"Rachna, kuch bhi bolti hai" Bulbul brushed her off. "Boss and hot? Are you silly? What if he hears you?"
"Isn't he hot though? You have to admit it, Bulbul!"
"Argh. Stop checking him out! Lower your eyes! Tera bhai jaisa hai" Rachna opened her mouth wide and Bulbul started giggling at her reaction.
"Mera bhai? How could you Bulbul!? Argh what the hell? Purab sir as my brother. Rakhi? And here I was thinking of him as hot. You're sick Bulbul"
"Haha Rachna tub hi na"
"Tweety." Both Bulbul and Rachna looked gobsmacked as they looked up to find Purab staring at them with a blank expression. He looked slightly awkward, "Tea, 3 sugars, 5 minutes, go." He watched as Bulbul hastily got up and nearly forgot the file he had asked her to study. He picked up the file and briefly flicked through some of the pages. "Have you studied the file?" Bulbul shook her head. "Umm yes sir, I've checked the details for the upcoming meeting and checked to ensure Mr Rathore's allergies are acknowledged." "Okay, 3 minutes now." "Sir, three minutes?" Purab smiled, "Three minutes." Bulbul realised what Purab was saying before she slipped out- "Ohh ohh tea" and rushed to the office canteen. She didn't miss the look of shock on Rachna's countenance at the name Tweety', she was as confused.
Tweety? Tweety, the bird, Tweety?
"Love, love, happy love"
Pragya scrunched her nose as she heard Purvi singing, not that Purvi's singing was particularly bad; it was just her taste in music Pragya did not like.
"Pragya di, please, let me hear my music na. Love, love, happy love"
"Purvi, out of all the songs in the world, you choose to hear these songs with no meaning?"
"Di, it is such a cool song.. and romantic too. Love, love, hapy love?"
"Purvi, you should hear different music. Classical music, Shreya Goshal music" Pragya smiled. She loved Shreya Goshal, her music made her feel so dreamy. "Okay come on, we need to go"
"Di, where?"
"Purvi, did you not hear what maa and dadi are saying? We need to go to the market quickly and get some last minute ingredients for the wedding arrangements. Kumkum Bhagya is not only known for its weddings, but its delicious food as well" Pragya beamed. "Okay di, let's go."
"Di, I honestly do not understand why you don't like Abhi's music? Bulbul and I love Abhi and his tunes, just wow. Haha and even dadi was dancing after having a bit of cough syrup mixed in her lassi" Purvi grinned.
"PURVI! You're so bad" Pragya laughed holding her ears slightly.
"So it was you who mixed cough syrup in dadi's lassi. Shaitan gayi ki" Pragya sighed slightly before giggling. Purvi was the prankster in the family. She could practically do anything and Pragya would always defend her, always forgive her. Out of the blew, Pragya saw a white SUV pass her and before she knew what happened, she felt the mud on her salwar kameez and looked at the car in astonishment.
"DIII OH MY GOD" Purvi stared at Pragya's state and glared at the SUV. "Di, this guy did not even bother to stop." She angrily picked up a stone and hurled it onto the car. "Hah, if Bulbul was here, I would have high-fived her!" she replied cheekily. "Purvi, what is this? There was no need of throwing a stone, but this person just"
Pragya watched as a man came out of the SUV. "Who threw the stone?" he replied clearly irritated. The slight amount of people that had gathered in the area were gasping and pointing at the man as he looked around, here and there.
"Purvi, see what's happened"
The man looked over at Pragya mumbling and assumed her to be guilty. He saw the dirt on her and was sure she threw the stone.
"Excuse me, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Jii" Pragya looked at him confusedly.
"How dare you throw a stone on my SUV? Do you even know the cost of it? Argh people like you. Just wasted my time completely and here, looking at you and even giving you this little amount of importance in my life is a waste of time. Do not do this again" Abhi pointed his finger at Pragya and looked at her annoyed.
"Look, it's not my fault. It's yours"
"Excuse me. You've probably seen a big car like this for the first time, so you thought come let me throw a stone and get Abhi's attention."
"Look, firstly I did not throw this stone. And secondly, how are you speaking to me? How dare you? Big car, money, all of this. Excuse me, I am a simple girl with simple thoughts, and look at your attitude. You're the one driving; you're the one driving a car through a small road. In fact yes, why are you driving through a small road if you have such a big car huh? If people like me are around here, then why are you driving through here anyway?" Pragya snapped. Abhi watched Pragya as she spoke. She had a point, in fact she had the audacity to even speak up to Abhi Mehra, rock star Abhi for god's sake.
"Di. Di. Di" "Kya hai Purvi?" Pragya looked at Purvi and saw her eyes locked on Abhi. "Di.. he, he"
"He kya?"
"Rockstar Abhi."
"Rockstar Abhi, meaning happy love Abhi"
"Yes, happy love Abhi"
"Ahh thats why. That's why so much rudeness. You're a rock star that's why you think you can speak to anyone the way you want."
"When you become a rock star, you can say anything you want."
"Becoming a rock star doesn't give you permission to insult anyone" Pragya stated.
"Being a rock star gives you money and power. Money and power can buy anything, permission isn't the issue."
"For you, permission is certainly not an issue. Permission may be something you don't even think about."
"You know what" Abhi smirked. "Right now misses whoever you are, god knows what you do. Actually no I am sure, hearing the amount you talk, you are a politician definitely. Or a teacher because you like teaching so much, I need to go. I'm a rock star. Rock stars are busy. Abhi is busy and he has wasted enough time on you.. so bye bye teacher. Next time lecture keh mood meh hoon, yahaan peh zaroor aunga." He said before winking at Pragya and walking off to his car.
Not bye-bye teacher, bye-bye Mr Rock star.
"Abhi yaar, I need to ask you something?"
"Kya yaar Purab?"
"Do you think I'm hot?" Abhi looked at Purab confusedly.
"Purab. Yaar tu bhai jaisa dost hai. You can tell me I'll accept you, but I'm not gay"
"Gay?" Purab looked around nervously and glared at Abhi. "I'm not gay yaar. Just asking like that, no reason. No reason at all"
"Hmm Purab. What happened yaar? Did someone say something?"
"Yaar Abhi. This girl at the office. Umm Tweety. Yes Tweety"
"Tweety? Like the bird Tweety?"
"Yep?"
"Purab yaar, yellow Tweety with the cat?"
"Abhi yaar, she didn't say I'm hot?"
"But Purab you're hawt yaar. Actually role-play, how did she say it?"
Abhi put on his best girl voice he could produce. "Purabbb you are so haaawt"
"Abhi" Purab said embarrassed. "Purab yaar, this girl today I met. I was driving and got mud thrown at her face.. and clothes. It was jokes. Joker ki tara dekhrahi thi voh."
"Abhi yaar. Was she okay? Bechaari"
"Bechaari. Purab, you know how much she spoke back to me. She was speaking back to me. Abhi, the rock star!" Purab shook his head at Abhi's antics. He was too much sometimes but he knew he wasn't bad from the heart; he just prioritised wrong things first sometimes.
"Abhi. You threw dirt on her"
"Yeah but not me, my car" he justified. Purab shook his head and decided to ask when he couldn't resist.
"Do you really want to get married to Tanu?"
"Of course I do Purab. Well I have too; dadi wants me to get married."
"But dude, shaadi? Thats a big commitment. And does Tanu even want too?"
"Well yeah! She wants to get married to me, it's just dadi, there's a bit of, well Tanu is not exactly marriage material according to her."
"I don't blame her, she's right." Purab murmered.
"What Purab?"
"Nothing bro, just.. Marriage is a serious decision. Think about it, okay. Promise me."
If not marriage, then what Purab? Surely Marriage is the only way?
"Pragya, what have you done to yourself?" Sarla worried.
"Arreh beti, you're a mess." Biji shouted before looking at Pragya and giggling. She had taken her cough syrup early today and Pragya look hilarious.
"Maa, voh rock star tha" Pragya stated irritably.
"Maa, oh my god, we saw rock star Abhi!! And he was talking to Pragya di, literally for ten minutes. Just talking, and then the both started arguing. It was so bad maa"
"Who was fighting with my di?" Bulbul shouted as she entered the Arora household.
"Oh gosh DIII what happened!? You're so dirty. Purvi, atleast get a towel silly."
"No, Purvi, get Bulbul some water please, she's just come from the work. She must be tired"
"Bulbul! We met rock star Abhi."
"WHAT? Without me, rock star Abhi"
Rock star Abhi, rock star Abhi. Pragya had enough, the whole day she had been thinking about Abhi and his words, his rudeness. She had just allowed him to say all that, accuse her and say such things about her. "Oh for god's sake, what is this rock star Abhi, rock star Abhi? He is a person so treat him like one. No wonder he has so much arrogance? I'm going to go freshen up and clean myself after ROCK STAR ABHI's, actually no, rock star ABHI'S CAR which he accused, threw dirt on me" and with that, Pragya huffed and went towards the bathroom to freshen up.
Thank you everyone.. Thank you for the likes and comments.. I really appreciate it! This FF may be a little slow, and I have some fillers as updates. Not all chapters will contain Abhigya or Rabul, just saying in advance.. but other couples or interactions for the story to move.. I'm so excited.. hehe! And I've given some hints as to why the title is such.. 😆
I have one question, I don't know whether I'm going to fully utilize Suresh in this Fic. Depending on responses, I'll see.. does anyone want to see Suresh-Aaliyah scenes? Anyone their shipper? LOL.. and no Tanu update!!! 😆

Its good upd bcox no tanu.
"Can you believe she spoke to me like that? Me, Abhi the rockstar"
"Bhai, good she spoke to you like that. At least there is some girl on this planet that is brave enough to challenge and speak back to the great Abhi the rock star" Aaliyah joked as they walked towards Abhi's room. As they entered, Abhi kept thinking about Pragya.
"Bhai, I've left and you still haven't changed? Look at the state of your room!" Aaliyah chuckled. She looked around the room smiling as she saw Abhi's dog tags dangling on his favourite chair, his tight t-shirts lay scattered on his bed while Abhi gazed at his reflection gelling his hair and smiling at himself.
"Di.. what can I say? Bad habits die hard" he grinned. "Now tell me, how am I looking?" he smiled brightly. Aaliyah put her thumbs up and bit her lip cutely. "Very handsome" she replied while Abhi shook his head excitedly.
"So Abhi.. how is Tanu?" Aaliyah asked apprehensively.
"Di, she's showing me more attention than usual nowadays. She keeps asking me about the wedding" Abhi said casually.
"Abhi.." He stared at Aaliyah. She only said his name when things were seriously. Despite Aaliyah being the eldest out of the two, Aaliyah called him bhai' lovingly because she always wanted to call someone bhai.' She grew up with many of her female friends having brothers and she had always wanted one.
"Yes di"
"Don't you think your rushing things? I mean how well do you even know Tanu?"
"Di, i've been with her for a while now. Three years, it's a long time."
"And marriages are meant to be forever Abhi. 3 years compared to a lifetime.. can you see what I'm saying Abhi?" Aaliyah could see Abhi looking thoughtful.
"But di, You married Suresh after two years!"
"Bhai, we were college sweethearts! We had college to get to know each other" she blushed.
"But di, Dadi wants me to get married soon, within 2 years I mean. That's what she said before she threatened to not eat and what not" ignoring Aaliyah's comment on her and Suresh.
"Abhi, you know dadi loves you and she only wants to see you happy. She wants you to settle down and she's not wrong. There's been so many rumours and speculations about you and mystery women in the media, not to mention dadi's friends must constantly ask about when dadi's going to get a daughter-in-law she can pamper. Think about it from her perspective too." Abhi listened to Aaliyah and walked towards the open windows. He closed his eyes as he thought about the advice he had been subjected to ever since he had told his close ones about him marrying Tanu.
Think about what you're going to do.'
She's not marriage material.'
"I'll think about it Di" he said as he looked back at her.
Maybe I should be a bit more patient'
"Bulbul, Come into my office with a list of all these files immediately"
"Yes sir" Bulbul retorted. As she searched and collected the required files, she walked into Purab's office and banged into what seemed like a hard, broad wall. The files fell from her hands and scattered around her as she gasped; she was inches from falling before the wall she banged into held her waist and prevented her from hitting the ground. Bulbul squealed before shutting her eyes quickly. She opened them slightly to realise she was clutching Purab's collar tightly and stared into his eyes. They were so captivating, almost as if his eyes could speak. Their faces were so close together and Bulbul felt so protected in his arms. She felt his hands loosen and quickly backed away, her eyes looking here and there. Purab watched as she used her finger to push a strand of hair behind her ear; she looked uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry sir, I wasn't looking and I"
"Its fine Bulbul, it happens. Just be careful next time"
"Yes sir, sorry sir" and she rushed out of the office.
"Bulbul, what is this? What did you do? You were so close to him and such ajeeb ajeeb thoughts, no Bulbul. You should stay away a little, so close. No, he is Purab sir. Yes, stay away" she muttered. "But I'm his assistant, how am I meant to stay away from him?" she wondered before sitting on her office chair and getting on with some of the daily tasks she was accustomed to doing.
Rachna is right, Purab sir is definitely hot.' She grinned.
"Yes Tanu, come to my house tonight."
"Yes Abhi! Finally. Are you going to announce our wedding plans to the family? Then of course the media. Oh god Abhi, I'm so excited"
"We'll see Tanu, I have a plan for today. I've got to speak to you about a few things."
"What things Abhi? You're not having second thoughts about our marriage now, are you?" Tanu asked curiously.
"Tanu, marriage is a massive commitment, I was thinking, Instead we should" Abhi's SUV suddenly halted and his phone fell onto the car floor. "What the hell, driver what are you doing?" he grumbled, angrily. "Sorry sir, voh" Abhi shook his head as he bent down to collect his phone. Just as Abhi bent down, a light pink dupatta came through the window. It stayed there for a few moments, swaying in the wind while Abhi continued to rummage through the car maps and litter that were sitting on the car floor. Just as he reached for the phone and got up, the dupatta flew back out of the window.
"Yeah so Tanu, I'll meet you this evening. I've got to go, bye"
"Bye Abhi" Tanu replied slightly disheartened.
If Abhi doesn't marry me, I won't get the publicity I need.
"Maa, here you go" Pragya handed Sarla the salary she had just received in her bank account as she entered the house. Sarla stared at her proudly and cupped her cheek lovingly, her eyes teary.
"Pragya, thank you"
"Maa, there is no need to say thank you. Isn't this my home? Are you not my mother?" Pragya smiled as she cupped her mother's cheek.
"This is nothing maa, this is just money. I can do anything for you maa, you just say it once" she grinned.
Sarla stared at her eldest daughter in awe. She meant the world to her; she loved her so much. She was the apple of her eye. Having Pragya as her daughter never made her regret of not having a son. She fulfilled all her responsibilities and she was more than a son could ever be to her. After Roy Arora, her beloved husband's death nearly fourteen years ago now, she had never felt so alone. However, Sarla Arora had her children. She had her children and her mother-in-law whom made her life worth living, who showered her with so much love and affection that she would not feel as lonely.
"Pragya, go and freshen up then I'll make you some aloo ke parante. My child must be hungry after work."
"Okay maa, I'll just freshen up and come" Pragya smiled. Pragya went into her cupboard to get new suit she could change into and left the pink dupatta dangling on her neck onto her bed before striding into the bathroom with her pair of salwar kameez.
Maa ke haath seh garam, garam aloo ke paranthe kaungi
Aaliyah and Dadi were sitting downstairs in the living room chatting casually until Taiji came out of her room followed by Mitali.
"Don't think I know the schemes you play Mitali. You make my son work so much. Poor Raj, he's still sitting in that office because of all that pressure you put on him."
"Mummy Ji, we've just come back today and you've already started!" Mitaali muttered.
"Arreh kya hua?" Dadi asked watching Mitaali's irritated expression and Rano's constant jabs at her daughter-in-law.
"Vahi toh. We've just come back from London and look at this girl. She's made my Raj go back to work today itself."
"Mummy Ji, Raj said he had some urgent work he wanted to check and it couldn't be delayed. It's not my fault" Mitali grumbled. Her mother-in-law always had anything to say, well nothing good obviously. Nevertheless, she always had something to say. It irritated her. Mitaali can't do this, Mitaali can't do that.'
"It just reflects how one should never do love marriages. The husband always ends up having something to do in the end" Rano began to laugh while Dadi shook her head and Aaliyah looked down smiling. Aaliyah coughed slightly before Rano smiled sweetly towards her silently acknowledging Aaliyah and Suresh's love for one another.
"Oof" Mitaali huffed and walked away towards the kitchen.
"Heh, she wanted to be the queen of this house" She glared at her retreating figure. "Badi aayi"
All three ladies watched as Tanu entered Mehra mansion and Abhi came down the stairs. Mitaali came out of the kitchen carrying an apple in her hand. She casually had a bite.
"Tanu, here?" Mitaali pondered before looking at daadi's blank face.
"Lagta hai jagara hone wala hai, mazza ayega" Mitaali smiled as she widened her eyes and took another bite of her apple. (It seems there's going to be a fight, this should be fun.)
"Dadi, I've thought about marrying Tanu a lot and.. I've come to a decision" Everyone present in the living room stood up.
"A decision. What kind of decision Abhi?" Supriya asked curiously after acknowledging the tension that surrounded the room, Abhi looked at Tanu who was looking back at Abhi quizzically while Aaliyah held her breath.
"I've decided I'm not going to marry Tanu." The room stayed quiet, the tension increasing.
"I've decided we're going to have a live-in relationship instead."
