New FF: Naina Lage

Manu was 15 years old when Suhana was born, and has since been a servant to the Rao paarivaar. She has been a good friend and is almost like a big sister to Suhana.

In a small mechanic shop there was an unusual silence today. Five men dressed in greasy overalls had stopped their duties to stare at the small TV that was placed on the unstable coffee table. Amongst these men was one in particular, standing in the middle of them, who was totally engrossed in what the TV was portraying...

"Sir one photo here please!!"

"Sir ek hor photo sir this side!!"

"Sir please ek photo!"

The screen was exploding with flashing lights. Reporters and photographers were viciously begging for some attention from the person who was standing on the stage. Security guards roughly pushed the crowd back. The same name was being chanted through their lips, "Shekhawat ji".

Slowly a hand was raised from the stage, a royal hand, displayed in various gold rings. This was the hand of Mahindra Singh Shekhawat. He smiled a proud smile; it was due to his hard work that he was receiving all this attention.

"Shanti please, I will answer a few questions", he bellowed.

The crowd immediately settled down, a reporter grabbed the microphone being handed out, "Sir, everyone has been waiting for the grand announcement you promised would be revealed today. Being the number one industrialist in India for providing us with the best phone services, kya hai aap ka announcement?"

Another reporter snatched the microphone, "ji sir, behtiye what is the new technology your brand Laksha will be providing us".

Immediately the crowd started asking similar questions.

Mahindra laughed, "Shanti, shanti please! There are some of us who like the touch screen devices and some who still prefer the buttons. Therefore I will be releasing a new phone that will have the best of both worlds, by creating a touch screen, which feels and reacts when you type on it just like buttons. But if you prefer the touch screen you have the option of turning it off in the settings button, "Mahindra began explaining the new technology of this phone as the crowd silently listened, a slow smile appeared on everyone's face.

Once he finished, an explosion of clapping filled the room, everyone was so impressed! Everyone voiced their approval and praised the huge industrialist.

Mahindra grinned, " Mein kush hu that everyone has liked my application, but I cannot take all the credit towards myself. Kyun ki someone very close to me had given me this brilliant idea. This someone is none other than my own son, Arjun Singh Shekhawat. Aao beta say a few words," Mahindra looked back towards this young man.

Dressed in an Armani black suit, his hands folded casually behind his back, he slowly began taking a few steps towards the microphone. A slow smile crept on his face as he raised his hand towards the crowd...

Photographers went crazy snapping the rare pictures of Mahindra Singh's son; it was very hard to ever catch a glimpse of Arjun ever since the incident.

"Thank you everyone for coming out today for this big event", Arjun began, "I just gave him the idea but it was from his genius mind that designed this phone so really all credit goes to my father, Mahindra Singh Shekhawat!"

The crowd joined with Arjun in applauding the industrialist. Mahindra laughed and shook his head, joining his son on the stage to speak.

"My son is just trying to be modest, this actually brings me to the second big news. As all of you know, Arjun is in his last few years of college and will then join me at work. Once my son graduates, you can all expect bigger and better things from Laksha. Thank you," with that Mahindra and Arjun took a step back.

Both men watched as the crowd roared in happiness, there were cheers and congratulations being yelled.

Surprisingly the mechanic shop also burst in cheers, four men began congratulating the man in the middle of them. This man dressed in a white muscle shirt, raised his hands and began clapping as he proudly watched the screen. He was none other than Aryan.

"Congratulations Aryan, app ka sapna poora hogya!!"One of the mechanics exclaimed as he hugged the man.

"Thanks yaar babbu," Aryan smiled as he put his arm around him.

"Allah ka lakh lakh shukar hai, what you wanted happened!" Aasif (another mechanic), shouted as he patted Aryans back.

"Oye Aryan, party toh banti hai," Jugnesh (third mechanic) announced.

Aryan laughed as he slapped Jugnesh by the head, "Hai hai kyun nahi mera Juggu, can I wait for him to call at least?"

"Just wait Aryan after he calls hum saab khoob party karungay!" Himmet explained.

"Oye I'm going to put some music on at least, no more quiet quiet", Jugnesh said as he turned the radio on.

Surprisingly Party Toh Banti Hai from Bhootnath Returns was playing!

"OYEE!!! Perfect timing yaara", Jugnesh screamed as he began dancing.

Eventually everyone joined in as they sang along to the lyrics. Once the song finished everyone patiently waited for the next song to play, unaware that the TV was still on.

"Acha chal chal let's bet! If the next song is from Yoyo Honey Singh I don't have to repair the next guddi (car) that comes in teek ai?" Jugnesh stated.

Aryan rolled his eyes, not one day passed without Jugnesh trying to get out of working.

"Yaar I think it's going to be a song from 2 States, if it is then you have to repair the next TWO cars that come in," Himmet challenged.

"TWO?! Oye kothiya fine I change my bet if the song is from the next movie Mein Tera Hero phir you will have to repair the two cars!" Jugnesh shouted.

"Deal!" Himmet confirmed.

"Chal phir mein vi deal!" Jugnesh agreed reaching his hand out. Both began shaking each other's hands as if it was a business deal and began wishing each other luck.

"Please will you both shut up so we can hear what the next song is going to be!" Aasif shouted causing both Jugnesh and Himmet to jump.

To Jugnesh's happiness, Palet from Mein Tera Hero started to play, causing Jugnesh to scream and jump.

"Today is my goodluck day!! Vaah oye Aryan tell Himmet how to repair the cars properly kyun ki I get a day off!!!!!" Jugnesh began doing bhangra along with the others as they sang along with the song.

Aryan stumbled as his leg hit the corner of the table due to the congested area they were dancing in. After inspecting his leg to make sure he wasn't hurt he looked up and realized the TV was still on to the event. It seemed like the media was asking questions to Mahindra and Arjun who were standing seriously towards the microphone.

"Guys guys! Chup karo please, Babbu turn the music off", Aryan instructed. Immediately the mechanic shop went quiet as they all huddled towards the TV again.

"Sir you had two sons, one is here with you but where is the other one...?" A reporter asked.

"Ji sir, where is your other son why is he not present at this huge announcement?", another reporter questioned.

"Sir sir! Is it true that your son was responsible for the huge dhamaka last year?" another reporter asked.

The same question was voiced by everyone, where was the other son...?

Aryan raised the volume and stared at the screen anxiously waiting for Mahindra's response.

Arjun opened his mouth about to respond to these reporters except his father immediately beat him to it, "My son is here with me," he simply replied.

Mahindra gestured towards Arjun, "My one and only son, Arjun Singh Shekhawat. There was never anyone else. Now if all your questions are done we will take your leave. Thank you".

With that Mahindra placed his hand on Arjuns shoulder forcing him to turn around as they descended off the stage while reporters begged for a clearer answer.

The TV screen went black as Aryan unconsciously turned it off. Not a sound was heard in the mechanic shop. The men all stared at Aryan not making a move, waiting for some sort of reaction.

Aryan just stood, staring at the black screen. It wasn't until Babbu placed a hand on his shoulder that he realized he wasn't alone. A slow sad smile appeared on his face to give reassurance to his friends/coworkers that everything was good.

"Yaar, sorry pata nahi how he could say something like that I don't understand why..." Babbu began but was cut off by Aryan raising his hand.

"I'm fine guys, today is Arjun's day," Aryan explained, "Chall we better get back to work before the boss gets mad".

"Aryan, mujhe maloom hai you are upset if you want to leave early then no one will stop you..." Aasif began.

"I said I'm fine guys, chall I have to finish repairing this car, Jugnesh you won the bet right, you can go home" Aryan looked over at Jugnesh who stood staring at his feet.

"Oye nahi yaar, bet nu chaad lets just finish our work," Jugnesh replied.

Quietly all the men went back to repairing the cars in the shop, no one said anything as they all felt sad for Aryan.

PROMO

"OMG!! How can we be late?" an voice screamed as she ran, "Faster Suhana faster!!!"

"Offo where has my textbook gone?" another girl moaned as she searched her bag, her face hidden by her hair as she was looking down rummaging through her bag.
