Two Weeks Later...
"What are you doing bhai??" Aliya asked keeping both her hands on Armaan's shoulder from the back... He was busy in studying on the dining table with his laptop and few books around...
"Arre parhne do ladki!!! Yeh paper nikalna bohat zaroori hai!!" He spoke out still busy in calculating few figures...
"Kya bhai?? kya hai yeh??" Aliya frowned... she was tired of this routine...
"Bohat mehnga hai!!" He bit his lower lip while moving his finger on the touchpad
...
"Hehehe!!" Aliya giggled... "To kisne kaha tha uthane ko?? aur mujhe to yeh samajh nahi aya k jab appka bank balance zero hogaya iske baad to phir Sid aur Nidhi ka kya hua hoga?? unke pass thai itne paise??" Aliya inquired while removing her hands from his shoulders so that she could take a chair and sit...
"Arre kahan chali?? dabati raho... acha lag raha hai!!" He stopped her from moving by grabbing her hand...
"Massage na de dun mein poora.." Aliya pouted and started pressing his shoulders again...
"Huh!! Main to taaza taaza NewYork se kama k aya tha!! apna personal jitna tha sab laga diya... Sid ne kuch khud daala, kuch idhar udhar se uthaya!! Aur Nidhi ka to mat poocho... Loan liya hai usne bank se..." He inofrmed...
"What???" Aliya's jaw dropped down... "Aur exactly kya soch k app teenow ne yeh kaarnama anjaam diya hai??" Aliya was stunned...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai?? bus aise he Sid ne kaha aur hum donow maan gaye?? Kuch to aisa hoga naa jo humne sab kuch laga diya..." Armaan smiled while looking up at Aliya...
"Aur aisa kya tha??" Aliya rolled her eyes...
"Well... Agay 4-5 saalon mein isski bohat value hone wali hai... plus jis company mein hum log kaam karte hain!! wo jagah jagah all around workshops offer karti rehti hai!... Yeh thoda hard aur bada hai... isliye payment bhi zyaada hogi.." Armaan pressed his lips together...
"Like what??" Aliya was still not convinced...
"Bhae company se discuss kiya to unhun ne offer diya k agar hum yeh coarse kar leyte hain apne pocket pe to we'll get a chance to travel around and conduct these workshops... Suppose.. meine akele agar 8 workshops bhi conduct ki to meri saari investment na sirf cover ho jayegi bal k oopar se bhi mera bank balance kaafi barh jayega! Phirrr Mera CV bohat strong ho jayega!! Mallik Enterprises rahe na rahe.. Armaan Mallik zaroor rahe ga..." He chuckled winking at her...
"Wow!! Itni door ki soch..." Aliya clapped rolling her eyes... "Paper nahi nikla to??" She arched her eyebrow almost punching one of his shoulder..
"You see... i am too optimistic! Paper aj nahi to kal nikal he jayega... Paisa to ata jaata rahega!!" He smiled...
"Great!! Lekin ab mein bohat bore ho rahi hun!! " Aliya pouted...
"Agar tum mujhe sirf ek ghanta bagair disturbance k parhne do to i promise i'll componsate!! Mujhe pata hai ajj Vikas Piya ka bhi koi scene nahi hai to ajj tum bohat zyaada bore ho rahi ho..." He put a condition...
"Fine... Dekhte hain!!" Shaking her head, she moved towards the sofa... "Hey Mini!!" She took the cat in her hands and moved upstairs...
"Yaar..." Armaan sighed... "Yeh Ni k saath parhne ki itni adaat hogai hai naa mujhe... ufff..." He shook his head and got back on studies...
...
"No!! Bohat hogaya... Sid and Aliya!! No no no!!" Rohail breathed deep... "Ab jese he mujhse koi bhi pooche gaa ya iss topic ko beech mein le kar ayega... i'll say a yess!!" Rohail decided... "Its not like am jealous of Sid or something... Lekin Sid aur Aliya nahi ho sakte naa saath mein??? Kese ho sakte hain?? Wo to maar daalegi usko.." Rohail himself was creating questionings and answering them since long...
"Aur phirr... ghar pe sab itna chahte hain!! Agar meine Aliya se shaadi nahi ki to wese he wo meri jaan le lenge.. ya phir jo bhi meri life mein aya usse wo jagah nahi milegi jo sab already Aliya ko de chuke hain!" He made another reason of his yes...
"Aurr... aurr haan!! Aliya bhi to... usse aur kahan milegi aisii family?? Usske nakhre yehi log bardaasht karenge... aur kaun karega?? " Rohail bit his lower lip...
"Nahii... Neha chachi ki pasand hai to wo bhi barshaast kar he lengi naa phir... wo to rehti bhi dehli mein hain!! Aurr zahir hai Aliya bhi... matlab dehli mein he rehti hai... Sid ko bhi ache se jaanti hai..." Rohail bit his index finger nervously...
"To kya hua?? iska matlab yeh thodi naa hai k wo Sid se shaadi karle... Sid thodi usse pyaar karta hai!!" He again explained himself while drinking some water...
"To kya main usse pyaar karta hun?? nahi... mera matlab hai k... mere dimagh pe aisa charha diya hai sab ne... Sid k dimagh pe thodi charhi hui hai wo..." He walked tro and fro making faces...
"Tabeat set hai??" Rahul made a face shouting out loud from the terrace as he saw Rohail down in the lawn drinking water and walking alone talking to himself...
"Mujhe kya hua hai??" Rohail yelled with a frown on his face...
"Beta kuch to hua hai... ruko! neeche a ke baat karta hun tumse.." Rahul said and turned back...
"Kya masla kya hai??? Australia se he yeh harkatein dekh raha hun..." Rahul narrowed his eyes at Rohail...
"Kya dekh rahe ho tum??" Rohail arched his eyebrow...
"Wo jo tum nahi dekh rahe..." Rahul said while snatching away the water bottle from Rohail's hand... "Yeh tumhari water diet!!" Rahul waved the bottle... "Khate kum ho... buss saara din paani peete rehte ho aur idhar udhar tehelte rehte ho!! Kya? pareshaani kya hai??" Rahul questioned straight...
"Koii pareshaani nahi hai.." Rohail shrugged his shoulders...
"Oye!! Ullo usko banana jo tumhe jaanta nahi... " Rahul warned...
"Tumhara Dimagh kharab ho gaya hai!!" Rohail huffed and marched inside...
"Achaa... mera dimagh kharab ho gaya hai??? harkatein khud ki ulti hai aur mera dimagh kharab ho gaya hai!" Rahul shook his head...
...
"Bhai yeh app kya kar rahe ho??" Aliya tried to figure out what Armaan was up to ... Done with studies, he was now busy in checking out few fruits from the fridge...
"Haan!! ab chalo.." He said while putting the fruits in a paper bag...
"Kahan???" Aliya questioned but on getting no answer just followed him...
Parking the car, he got out of it soon to be followed by Aliya... Then entering into an open icecream parlour, he asked her to sit and went towards the counter... After fifiteen minutes he was back...
"Now enjoy!!" He smiled placing the cup in front of her...
"Iss mein aisa kya khass hai??" Till now she saw everyone carrying fruits with themselves there and she somehow got what was going around...
"Taste to karo..." He said while taking another seat and the next moment Aliya was jumping...
"I have never ever tasted this much awesome icecream..." Aliya licked her lower lip... " I mean... texture, flavour, quality!! its just perfect!!" Aliya was so on eating...
"Hmmm... i know!!" Armaan giggled... "Actually... meine bhi aisa kahin aur dekha nahi hai... lekin yahan app apne khud k laye hue fruits de k unhi ki icecream banwa sakte hain within few minutes... Aur meine isse zyaada best taste aur kahin experience nahi kiya hai icecream ka..." He explained...
"Haan!! seriously!! Its Awesome!!" Aliya chirped...
They both got busy in finishing their icecreams looking all round and talking about here and there when Armaan asked her... "Wese... do u have someone in your life??" Armaan bit his lower lip with a grin which made Aliya's mouth hung up...
"You have got one in your life naa!! Enjoy!!" Aliya retorted putting the spoon in her mouth full with icecream...
"Hahahaha!! But just... aise he pooch raha hun!! Mujhe typical bhaiyun wala role play karne ka koi shawk nahi hai... if you have one thats good!! Completely okay!!" He shrugged his shoulders..
"Just look at our relationship!!" Aliya said keeping the cup on the table... "Koi sunn le to yaqeen bhi nahi kare... bhai apni behn se bluntly pooch raha hai k do you have someone in your life..." Aliya mocked on his face...
"Haan!! behn k jawab koi sunn le to bhi yaqeen na kare..." He taunted...
"Kya haina bhai!! i just love to retort back at you... Mujhe apke taunts itne pasand haina!! tch..." She chuckled making Armaan arch his eyebrows..."Bohat zyaada urr rahi ho..."
"Hahaahaha!! but seriously... i don't have any and i don't want any..." Aliya said while stopping her yawn...
"Kyun??" Armaan questioned...
"Arre sar dard kaun paale?? uske sawal... uske nakhre... uski jee huzoori and at the end saara lzaam ladki par!! huh!!" She snored...
"Yeh kya tum ladkiyun nelogic banai hui hai k har ladka iss kism ka hoga??" He frowned...
"Baakiyun ka pata nahi... but meine to sabak seekha hai!! you see.. meri dost thi naa natasha!! She uski love marriage hui... relationship k start mein ladka aur usske ghar wale sab ache lekin shadi k baad ufff!!!" Aliya shook her head... "I mean usse poore din mein sirf 5 minute kisi ko bhi call karne ki ijazat hai!! kahin a ja nahi sakti... friends se baat nahi kar sakti coz uske husband ko pasand nahi hai... aur pata nahi kya kya!!" Aliya sighed...
"Poor Girl!!" Armaan felt sorry for her... "Lekin zaroori to nahi k tumhe bhi koi aisa he mile? i mean... aisi soch rakhne wala... main to aisi koi soch woch nahi rakhta k rok tham lagadi jaye har cheez pe..." He tried to show her the other side...
"I Agree!! sab natasha k husband jese nahi ho sakte buttt i don't know... i feel like jese koi fit nahi ho pata mere dimagh mein..." She made a face...
"Ahan!! And exactly kya image hai tumhare dimagh mein?? tumhara life partner kesa hona chahiye??" Armaan arched his eyebrow...
"Ummm... workholic nahi hona chahiye!! apki tarah.." Her first demand cracked him up...
"Hahahahaha!!! aur??" He further asked...
"Aurrr... ummm... aurrr wooo... tch actually pata nahi!!! sab se badi cheez jo bhi ho apne partner ko izzat dena jaanta ho!! Pyaar matter nahi karta..." Her tone turned serious and deep...
"Pyaar matter kyun nahi karta??" Armaan saw something different in her eyes...
"Busss... nahi karta!! Wo apne bass mein jo nahi!!" She replied getting lost in her thoughts... "Agar mere bass mein hota to... Rohail se kabhi pyaar nahi karti... aur ab shayad mujhe koi aur uss tarah se ache bhi na lagay... Kyunki Pyaar to meine kar liya hai!!" She thoughts taking another spoon of her icecream...
"Mummaaa" Shilpa came back home shouting all over for Padma after her office hours...
"Mujhe bhook lagi hai!!" She announced hugging padma tight as soon as she saw her...
"Tabeat to theek hai??" Padma caressed her hairs lovingly..
"Hmmm..." She nodded closing her eyes...
"Acha ab choro mujhe... kahan lagaoon phir mein!!" Padma said after a while... its been minutes since she was glued to Padma not leaving her...
"Bua kahan hain?" Shilpa asked while getting out of the hug...
"Bhabhi!!!! Idhar aiyegaa.." Before Padma could answer they both heard Tara from her room..
"Chalo... tum ja ke fresh ho jao... phir baat karte hain.." Padma said and left for Tara's room whereas Shilpa started climbing stairs...
Purposely she peeped inside her own room thinking to scare Muskaan who shoe found sleeping peacefully with Bella on top of her...
"Tumhe sone k ilaawa aur koi kaam nahi hai?? moti hoti ja rahi ho..." Shilpa frowned at bella and taking it in her hands hit her tightly...
"Meow!!" Belaa wiggled and jumped out of her hold landing on to Muskaan who got up with a jerk..."Ahhh."
"Kya yaar?? thukki hui hun mein..." Muskaan whined looking at Shilpa...
"Maine kahan kuch kiya hai??" Shilpa passed an innocent look...
"Uhhh..." Again closing her eyes Muskaan lied down...
"Mood kyun off hai??" Shilpa smiled leaning on to Muskaan...
"Mood bohat acha hai mera... lekin neend a rahi hai mujhe..." Muskaan said with her closed eyes...
"Oho... aur iss itne ache mood ki wajah??" Shilpa teased Muskaan..
"Arre yaar tum sone do mujhe..." Muskaan wiggled as Shilpa kept her chin over her shoulder which was quite pinching Muskaan... "Jao!! Mumma ko Vikas bhaiya ne mail ki hain Aadi ki pictures... wo ja ke dekho..." Right now Muskaan could do anything to complete her sleep...
"Hahaha!! main dekh chuki hun!! mujhe bhi mail ki thi... He is co cute yaar!!" Shilpa smiled nudging Muskaan...
"Bhaiya ne tumko mail ki??" With her eyes wide open, Muskaan got up... "Phir maine kya kusoor kiya tha?? mujhe kyun nahi ki??" Muskaan pouted...
"Hahahahaa!!! kyun??? ab neend bhaag gai??" Shilpa chuckled...
"Shilpa ki bachiii!!!" Muskaan gritted her teeth... "Koi mail nahi ki naa tumhe??" Muskaan snatched away Shilpa's stole as Shilpa ran apart...
"Hahahaha!!! papa ko ki thi..." Shilpa giggled...
"Ane do... meine chorna nahi hai... phir unki biwi ko bura lagay ya acha lagay.." Muskaan pouted...
"Yaaar... itna cute baby hai!! Pata nahi bhaiya ka kab ane ka plan hai..." Shilpa passed a disappointed look...
"Jab bhi aenge... jhagra karna hai maine to pehle!!" Muskaan made a face...
...
"Vikasss... uthooo" Piya almost slapped him...
"Kya yaar??" Poor guy with high fever looked up at his angry wife while rubbing his eyes...
"Dekho bohat hogaya!! Maine kal subha ki jaagi hui hun... Ek minute ankh band karne ko nahi mili hai mujhe... Pehle tum aur ab tumhara yeh beta!!" Piya was so high with her temper...
"Dekho Piya!! Iss waqt kuch sunna wuna dunga!! tabeat wese he theek nahi hai meri..." Vikas warned her sensing his temper loosing...
"To main kya karun?? mujhe bohat neend arahi hai... lekin yeh aadi chup he nahi ho raha hai.." She spoke out in a helpless voice...
"Phone karo aur un donow ko bula lo... chalo jao.." almost passing an order, he again closed his eyes...
"Tumhe kya ho gaya hai?? 4 baj raha hai... Armaan kabhi nahi uthega apne bister se.." Piya almost yelled...
"Uffooo... chalo bag pack karo... wohin chalo..." Vikas got out of his bed in anger...
"Tch!!" Piya shook her head feeling so sad and sorry for him... she knew he was unwell and needs rest but what can she do?? her head was paining now and Aadi was in no mood to sleep or let her sleep..
...
It was about 4:30 when Armaan felt someone slapping his shoulder...
"Kya hai yaar?? Aliya.." Without even opening his eyes, Armaan whined...
"Uthooo..." Piya's angry tone made him wake up immediately...
"Tum?? Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho iss waqt??" He blinked his eyes again and again...
"Issko sambhalo... aur mujhe jagana nahi!!" Pointing a finger at him, she handed over Aadi to him and walked off...
"Arre..." Not able to get what happend, Armaan saw her walking away towards the room which was technically Her and Vikas room in his house and then heard a thud sound of the door closing...
"Kya hai yaar yeh??" Armaan whined, he was still sleepy... "Time kya ho raha hai??" He looked at the clock which told him ita 4:30..
"Aadii!! sone ka time haina yeh... so jao!!" Armaan put the baby down on bed who was now smiling and giggling over his expressions...
"Meow!!" Next he saw Mini climbing his bed and walking upto Aadi...
"Arre yaar!! yahan yeh bhi to drame hote hain!!" He felt irritated...
"Aliya!!" Armaan nudged her which made Aliya open her eyes slowly...
"Kya hai bhai??" she asked in asleepy tone...
"Isko saath le k so...chalo." saying so, he placed Aadi on her bed and moved outside closing the door so that Mini won't enter...
Kudoos to Aadi who without making any noise went to sleep in Aliya's arms peacefully whereas returning to Bed Armaan again closed his eyes and went to sleep...
"Hadd hogai!! Ab main ready hun to majaal hai jo kisi ne wo topic chera ho!!" Rohail was really offended now...Since many days he was in a wait to get a chance, anyone will ask him again or taunt him so he will say a final yes but here seems like family completely forgot about the topic... Even in office, Abhi atul, rahul no one teased him...
"Tumhara mu kyun sooja hua hai??" Tanya asked while handing over a glass of juice to Rohail...
"Kuch nahi... Main nikalta hun offic k liye..." He excused and got up.. "Ajeeb hain saare..." He mumbled...
...
"Kya? hua kya hai??" Aliya asked Armaan over the breakfast table... Today was an off day and so they both were at home...
"Mujhe kya pata? 4 baje bhoot ki tarah agai saamne aur bacha aur warning de k chalti bani.." Armaan raised his shoulders in the air...
"Jhagra hua hai kya donow mein??" Aliya further inquired...
"Pata nahi.. kyun aadi?? tumhe pata hai??" Armaan winked at the baby who was playing in his carry caught...
With Aliya, Armaan's gala time was on... All home cooked meal, proper dinner and breakfast without any kitch kitch... he was loving it...
Nidhi was smarter, when she used to be around, she makes sure to make Armaan prepare atleast one time meal with blackmailing but here Aliya was little sister with all cooking skills straight from home... She knows it all how Tanya, Annaya or even her own mother Avantika makes food and so, how can Armaan even think of working when Aliya is around...
He feels more than homely with her... Its like now he do nothing except for pressing and washing his own clothes and else, cleaning, other house chores, grossery shopping, kitchen... everything was on Aliya's shoulder.. She was the lady on this Mad House who can't complain about anything... With her Armaan never has to think twice before ordering "Mujhe ajj yeh khana hai!!" If it would have been Piya or Nidhi on Aliya's place then he may think what will they demand in return but with Aliya no worries at all...
...
"Shilpa! Yeh file Mr Talwar ko bhijwa do.. mujhe ek meeting k liye nikalna hai, deir ho rahi hai!" Handing over a file to her, Shashank walked off...
"Tch!! Yahan main bolne i thi mujhe Abhi ne bulaya hai, wahan k liye nikalna hai aur yahan yeh..." Shilpa made a face... "Main he drop karti hui nikal jati hun.." She gave it a thaought and then turned to leave...
"Yes Mr Talwar... Baaki details app dekh lijye gaa... Abhi main jaldi main hun warna wait kar leyti..." Shilpa pressed her lips together...
"Not aproblem Miss Malhotra! I'll take care of it.." Mr Talwar smiled at her after which she nodded in a yes and started walking back... "Ouch!! deir ho gai!!" Shilpa slapped her head knowing now Abhi will kill her and started almost running towards her ar when she bumped into someone...
"I am sorry..." Shilpa apologized quickly and ran ahead...
"Sorry kis baat k liye?? Ab to aise itfaaq roz roz honge..." He grinned watching her running towards her car... Taking out his mobile he called someone and said... "I Need another click!! aur iss baar i need it close.." He smirk ending his call...
...
"Doctor ko dikhao tum!! bohat gaya tumhara ghar ka ilaaj..." Armaan shook his head at Vikas who was not ready to get up from the bed...
"Main kal raat se keh rahi hun!! lekin jo sunn le yeh insaan..." Piya made a face...
"Tum donow chup kar jao... " Vikas yelled at the two...
"Haan wo bhi ho jayega... filhaal utho.. chalo.." Armaan pulled away the blanket from him and forced him to ge up...
"Issko chai wagera do.. aur chalo doctor k pass!! Wese he medical bohat mehnga hai yahan pe... lumba parr gaye to hogaya kaam!!" Armaan frowned...
"Issko mere saamne se hata do warna gala daba dunga main isska..." Vikas yelled at Piya...
"Daba dena... lekin abhi chalo.. jao fresh ho k ao.." Cutting him out, Armaan pushed him towards the bathroom...
"Thank You!! Warna yeh kabhi nahi uthne wala tha..." Piya sighed...
"Haha!! Wo kya? Main bhi nahi uth ta!! " Armaan chuckled..
2 Weeks Later...
"What the hell?? Poore kamre ko library ki shakal de di hai tumne..." Armaan made a face looking at Nidhi... He was again on a visit to Australia but for giving paper this time...
"To?? Yeh tumhare fictions" Nidhi pointed at a shelf.. "Yeh Non Fictions!!" She pointed at another shelf... "Aur baaki pata nahi kya kya... Infact jaate jaate to Rahul bhi pata nahi kitni books utha k saath le k gaya hai!!" Nidhi clipped.. "So, i thought.. kyunki maximum amount of books tumhare kaamre mein jagah jagah milti hain so why not gather all the books and files of the house in one room??" Nidhi chirped...
"Aahahaha... Kya logic hai!" Armaan mocked on her face...
"Jo bhi hai.. ab yehi hai!!" Nidhi grinned...
"Khali Rahul books le k gaya hai??" Armaan asked while keeping his bag on the bed...
"Haan!! Rohail bechare ki to tumne halaat he aisi kar di thi... Shilpa ki zabaan mein kahun to uss bechare ko water diet se he fursat nahi thi!!" Nidhi giggled...
"Buss kardo..." Armaan showed his hand... "Bechara nahi hai wo kisi bhi angle se..."
"Hahaha!!! hey! by the way... Aliya Mauritius mein hai tumhare saath??" Nidhi asked..
"Arre haan yaar... Sid ko bulao! baat karni hai mujhe tum donow se, isse pehle k wo kisi ko kuch bole..." Armaan hurried as the anti thing strike his mind...
...
"Lo.. Phir bhej diya ek aur presentation k liye!! Abhimanyu Sir naa..." Samrat snored while driving the car..
"Ab kar he do... bus bolte he rehte ho!!" Shilpa chuckled...
"Mazaak nahi urao tum mera..." He made a face.. "Lekin yaar!! This job naa!! i just love it!!" Samrat smiled wide...
"Itna ghoomne ko jo milta rehta hai... Australia, all over India!! fun naa??" Shilpa too agreed...
"Really!! its like a dream come true... Jis tarah se parhai k saath saath Armaan Sir ne training dii phir job! and then... Abhi Sir se sab shuru se he frank thai and we just got him as our boss!! i mean wow!!" Samrat praised...
"Haan... infact environment bhi humare office kaa kaafi friendly aur acha hai... kuch na kuch karte he rehte hain hum log!!" Shilpa giggled...
"Chalo... ab chal k ek aur presentation dein..." Samrat sighed while parking the car...
Getting Inside some huge building, they noth walked upto the reception and then started climbing stairs as per receptioned direction...
It was a huge passage they saw and the cabin in which they need to enter was straight left at the end... They were walking when two eyes following them narrowed...
Someone rushed alomost pushing Shilpa which made her grab the first thing came in her hand for support as an instant... It was Samrat's elbow and samrat who was not ready for it got pushed against the wall.
Now it was like Samrat standing against the wall and Shilpa really close to him with her one hand on his shoulder and other grabing his coat... The Perfect shot got captured after which the two straight up..
"Kya kar raho ho??" Samrat made a face...
"Tumne uski batameezi nahi dekhi?? mujhe dhakka maar k gaya wo..." Shilpa was angry...
"Haan dekha maine... lekin kya kar sakte hain aise logon kaa?? Dafa karo..." Samrat shook his head after which both started walking...
...
Armaan was the first one to give the paper... Sid and Nidhi's dates were of some other day...
It was just amatter of three hours after which he was back in office...
"Kya Bana??" Sid asked as soon as he got inside Armaan's cabin...
"Tch!! mat poocho yaar... bus wo paanch number naa!! ussi pe grip nahi thi meri aur wohi.." Armaan made a face..
"What?" Sid's mouth hung up... "Tera paper ruk gaya???" Sid almost got a heart attack...
"Arre nahi yaar!! paper ki to khair hai... wo to nikal gaya!!" Armaan cleared the air..
"Huhhh.." Sid took a breath of relief keeping his hand over his chest... "Congratulation!!" He wished..
"Thanks!!" Armaan smiled...
"To phir kya paanch number ka rona ro rahe ho??" Sid shook his head...
"Come in.." Armaan said as he heard the knock on the door...
"What about the paper??" It was Nidhi..
"Nikal gaya!!" Sid told her...
"Wow!! Congrats!!" Nidhi smiled and walking up to him gave him a hug...
"Thank You!!" He smiled back...
"Kitne pe nikla??" She asked getting out of the hug...
"95" Armaan answered...
"Super awesome!!" Nidhi's smile widen up whereas Sid went out of control...
"Tumhare he jese logon ki wajah se log pass bhi hone se darte hain!!!" Sid hit him... "95 huh?? Aur 5 number pe ro rahe ho tum!!" Sid hit him again...
"Free ka maal samjha hai kya??? boss hun tumhara yahan pe... behave!!" Armaan tried to stop him...
"Nautanki..." Sid gritted his teeth...
"Jo bhi ho!! Party banti hai!!" Nidhi came in between the two...
"Party to hum zaroor karenge... Lekin uss din jis din tum donow bhi free ho jao gay!" Armaan winked at the two...
"Oye!! Lekin classes tumne poori nahi li thii... acha khasa miss kiya tha, phir hum mein se kisi se notes bhi nahi liye... phir bhi 95 a gaye??" Some striked Sid...
"Ummm..." Both Armaan and Nidhi looked at eachother...
"Tumhe kya pata?? Tumhari biwi itni achi teacher hai!! Ussi ne padh haya tha mujhe..." Armaan bit his lower lip...
"Khud to uske parhte dekhta nahi main... tumhe bada parhaya hoga!!" Sid shot a suspicious look to both...
"Tumhe kuch nahi pata hota hai... aur main har kaam tumhe bata k karungi kya??? Tum raat mein parhte ho, Main subha parhti hun!!" Nidhi got over Sid...
"Dekho tum donow ko jhagra karna hai ghar pe ja k karo yahan offic emain nahi!!" Armaan warned the two as he was about to witness something similar what usually happens betwen Vikas and Piya...
"Now Back To Work!!" And with a click, the Boss was back!
One Month Later..
Well, this was time when Abhi called the four he needed to come up and join... Kartik and Mayank were joining on Billy and Arjun's recommendation and so they landed in Mumbai... ofcourse they were to stay no where else but in Mallik Residence.. Pojja (Kartik's wife) did accompnied him as it was decided that it will be a 3 Months trip...
On the Other hand, Kartik, Sapna and Vikram too landed about along with Shilpa's dadi...
"Marne k dinn a gaye..." Muskaan and Shilpa were terrified...
"Chalo.. jharu pocha shuru.." Muskaan weeped over Shilpa's shoulder who can seeing everyone chatting around in the hall...
"Aur kitchen bhii.." Shilpa has the same feelings as Muskaan... No doubt the whole house was sounding so good with laughs and giggles everywhere but Dadi's rules and regulation were already very scary since the beginning...
On Mallik's side.. It was all really cool and fun!! Infact they all were already making plans like how will they start from tomorrow onwards...
"Hahahaha!! Beta sab bhool jao.. Kyunki jo ghaseet k, le k sab ko chalne wala haina? uska naam Abhimanyu Modi hai!! Aurr usse hum pyaar se Hitler 2 kehte hain!! so no chance of having fun in office hours..." Rohail warned... This guy was pissed of by family since very long... He himself will never start the topic, its like he told his brain that he is giving into what everyone wants.. Its not that he wants it by himself!! So he will talk about Aliya himself?? No!! Other have to talk and he will say a yes...
Even he tried that on Armaan aswell but Armaan being Armaan was playing safe too... He was bound not to show up about Aliya to anyone and so he never talks to family openly in Aliya's presence around.. Aaliya herself was unaware that her stay with Armaan and Mauritiu was a secret... She was so much involved in Job and fun that she didn't got a chance to notice this...
...
Things in Mauritius were now entirely different... Now on weekends and holidays, Vikas Piya and Armaan Aaliya stays together... be it in Vikas's place or Armaan's. Aadi was growing and was a very cute and naughty child... Now a days he tried to push up himself on the bed through his feet and so was very dangerous to leave alone even on bed... You take him in your arms and he wiggle alot that if your grip his light, he may slip off..
Aadi's partnership with Mini was also a treat to watch... Mini left no chance to be around him but once Aadi grabed her tail in his fist tight and didnt released it... Thankfully Aaliya heard Mini loud MEow meow cry on time and saved her.. From Than on Mini was never found around Aadi... poora cat was too scared of him when he is awake...
Aaliya has developed this new habit in her that on every friday that icecream with a new fruit flavour is a must... If not Armaan, then its surely Vikas who gets dragged but this was amust... This girl can't just miss her icecream on fridays...
"Ufffoo... tum wohin job kyun nahi kar leyti?? har friday icecream aur hafte mein do din diet!! Aur tumhari iss diet k chakkar mein, mere bhi naashte aur khane ka kabara kar deti ho tum!!!" Armaan screamed...
"To??? Jab ko kehte hain bana k deti huna?? bus baat khatam!!" Aliya too know how to shut him off...
"Vikas ko pakar k le k jao... mein nahi ja raha.." He pouted...
"Chaloo..." Aliya dragged him out... It always happens, he do his nakhra but then go out with her...
This Weekend, they all planned to pay a visit to beach area where they can have full enjoyment and fun for 1 whole day and Night...
"Wese kal niklein gay kab tak??" Aliya questioned while having her icecream...
"Huh!! Nikalna to subha subha chahiye tha... lekin ab dopahar ki booking mili hai resort ki... so niklein gay aise he 2 baje tak.." Armaan replied...
"Hmmm... maza ayega!!" Aliya was hell excited...
...
"Vikram k bache!! tameez k daire mein rehna wahan... kuch harkat ki naa phir dekhna.." Shilpa warned Vikram who was busy in pulling her leg...
"Kyun?? tumhara susraali office hai iss liye??" Vikram chuckled...
"Beta tum ao to zara... ek ghante k andar tumhe tumhari susraal na dikh gai naa wahan to phir kehna!!" Shilpa smirked..
"Oh!! Tumne kisi ko choose kar k rakha hai mere liye??" He passed a cocky smile to her...
"Haan!! lekin meine nahi.. Abhi ne!!" Shilpa knew next day was going to be a serious one and hectic for all as hse had heard the internal thing and the chaos going around...
The recent problem was the supplier... At the start of this project everyone was calm as there were many suppliers in the market but slowly they didn't knew what happened and where all disappeared... Now it was a serious issue for which Abhi and other were trying hard to use all their sources..
"Kyun paershaan ho rahe ho?? ho jayega kuch.." Nikki tried to calm Abhi down... She was expecting these days...
"Hoga to khair har haal mein... nahi hua to pakrunga Armaan ko... saari affat ki jarr he wohi hai!!" Abhi gritted his teeth...
"Uhhh... so jao..." Nikki shook her head and went inside bathroom...
...
Banging the door behind, he covered his head with the pillow after lying down on the bed... Piya and Vikas got on another banter tonight and thier non stop shout was irritating Armaan... "Roz ka yehi hai!!" He made a face... Turning up side down, resting his chin on the pillow, he took off his watch and kept it on the side table when his eyes fell on His and Shilpa's picture.. same one which AbhiNikki gifted on engagement from Reunion dance..
Don't know what happen to him that moment but he just felt he now needs her by his side... Need of a life partner was growing in him day by day... Sometimes, cute little banters and small small things between Nidhi Sid and Vikas Piya makes him miss her.. He just feels like he now wants her in his life...
"Pata nahi kya soojhi thi mujhe jo maine tumse poocha tha k tum chahti kya ho?? chor deta ye bhi ghar walon pe... shaadi to ho he gai hoti ab tak..." He said looking at her picture.. "Aur wo manhoos project tum logon kaa... khatam he nahi ho ke de raha!! Aur yahan yeh mera... do saal ka tha... teen pe drag hota dikh raha hai!!" He made a face...
"Lekin agar yeh chik chik roz sunne ko milti hai shaadi k baad..." He pointed at the door from where Vikas Piya's noises were coming... "To phir better hai fuzul khayalaat ko dimagh se nikaal k chain se so jaya jaye..." Saying so he switched off the lamp and closed his eyes...
Next Day was a full fledge one... Abhi gathered everyone in the meeting hall and gave them a free hand to suggest anything they can...
"Time waste!! main to ek hafte se keh raha hun usko pakro... Koi na koi contact to nikal he ayega uska.." Rahul made a face while mumbling... "Socha bhi tha usko bolun lekin aj kal pata nahi kidhar busy hai?? uchal raha hoga wohin mauritius aur australia k beech.."
"Ajay Singhania is the only option i see..." Amit was done with his advice..
"Yeh naam kahin suna hai maine..." Shilpa scratched her head...
"I am sorry!! Lekin maine kuch acha record nahi suna hai Ajay Singhania ka... Late supply humesha ek issue raha hai.." Rohail butted in...
"To phir?? option kya hai??" Atul asked..
"Hitler..." Rahul rolled his eyes...
"Isss... chalo, bulao usko video chat pe!!" Abhi finally gave in...
...
Still 2 hours were left to leave for the beach resort, Aliya and Piya were getting ready where as Vikas was busy in having his tea with Newspaper...
"Bhai!! Its really urgent! want you to be on skype.." Rahul's message made him yawn...
"Phir Chachoo ne koi naya shosha chorda hoga..." Armaan was too sure as past week Arjun was at the verge on irritating him...
At the moment, Armaan was in his blue denim jeans with white shirt and a brown jacket.. He was all ready... "Tch!! ab kya laptop nikalun mein..." He pressed his lips together and instead walked upto his smart tv to log in... He thought it will only be Rahul but on seeing the whole meeting hall he slapped his head...
"Hii!!" He smiled sitting down on the sofa infront of the TV...
"Supplier ka masla ho gaya??" Armaan became serious on hearing the whole thing out. Vikas who was on the other side near stairs was looking at the TV with widen eyes... "Yeh waqai mein koi family project chal raha hai kya??"
Now Armaan was on some really serious discussion which gave Vikas a chance.. "Dekho beta..." He chuckled...
"I think... yehi hai k tum log..." Armaan was talking straight when a jacked landed on his face from the side which he took away from his face and continue to talk...
This jacket thing really made everyone giggle but they can't react as Armaan was hell serious... "Quality mein compromise nahi ana chahiye... i think financially to wese bhi negociate kiya ja sakta hai.." He kept on talking to everyone while taking away the water bottle in his hand which was kept on the table in front of him and opening its cap suddenly threw some water on Vikas still while talking with a serious straight face...
What everyone there saw was that he threw water on someone and this sudden action of him still in sitting position was enough to make them laugh but they controlled as he was with a straight face...
"Hadd ho gai!!" Anjali shook her head while covering her smile...
"Acha beta!!" Vikas has his other trick... He took Mini and left her near the sofa...
"Zaroor sid hoga!!" Abhi thought... and The next moment all saw a while fluffy cat climbing up the sofa post walking like a queen, came and saw down near Armaan's head about which he was completely unaware and was still talking straight...
"Billi!!" Shilpa's eyes widen up...
"Billi??" Rohail rubbed his eyes again and again...
"Yeh kya harkatein chal rahi hain??" Abhi, controlling his laugh and thought but soon it became impossible for everyone there not to laugh as Mini danced out her tail over Armaan's hairs which made him realise that she was sitting up behind him over the sofa post...
Again he was talking straight and moving his hand up, he picked up Mini and Clicked his fingers on a side where Aliya was laughing silently along with Vikas...
He gave mini to Aliya and continued to talk... People in the meeting hall were just able to see him only... Who threw jacket over him? on who he threw water and to whome he gave the cat was completely unseen...
"I won't leave you two!!" He glared at the two after completing his chat and turning off the TV...
"Hahahahaha!!! un becharon ki halat kharab kardi tumne... " Vikas laughed.. "Kitna difficult hoga apni hassi rokna unke liye!!" Vikas held his stomach...
"Abhi batata hun!!" Armaan pointed a finger at Vikas and ran after him...
...
"What was bhai up to??" Rohail laughed getting inside his cabin...
"Hahaha!! Billi!! billi kya kar rahi thi wahan??" Rahul too laughed... "Message karta hun!!" Rahul bit his lower lip...
"Lo... agaya!!!" Armaan glared at Vikas, gritting his teeth at the message...
"Main Vikas k ghar pe tha... Piya ki billi hai!" He typed back...
"When did you developed interest in cats??" Armaan slapped his head throwing his mobile over Vikas on Shilpa's message...
"Lo... do apni behn ko jawab ab tum!!" He huffed...
"Hahahahaha!! Yeh lo jawab!!" Vikas started tying which made Armaan alert...
"Pata nahi kya likh k bheje ga? oye!! wapas karo mobile..." Armaan ran upto him...
"Arre hatto... ab bus tum dekho..." Vikas ran upstairs away from Armaan...
"Nahiii..." Armaan ran after him...
"Jungli Billi!!" Shilpa's jaw dropped down reading the message... This was so so so not Armaan...
"What?? R u in your senses??" Vikas laughed out loud reading the message making Armaan all angry...
"Kya likh k bheja hai tumne??" He yelled...
"Abhi to likh raha hun!!" Vikas climbed his bed making Piya and Aliya flabbergast at this Tom and Jerry show...
"Senses mein hota to shaadi jesi cheez k liye haan kehta?" Shilpa's eyes came out reading another unexpected weird reply which triggered her...
"How dare he said that??" Shilpa turned red with anger... Getting up from her seat, she walked out in isolence and dialled him...
"Lo... ab tum baat karo..." Vikas threw the mobile at him finally when Shilpa's call ariived...
"Vikas k bache..." Armaan catched his mobile and terminated the call...
"Pagal!! yeh kya kiya??? phone kaatt diya??" Piya slapped her head...
"To??" Armaan frowned...
"Abay itna sunaye gii naa? Zindagii mein kabhi nahi suna hoga.." Vikas laughed giving a high five to Aliya...
"Mera phone kaat diya!!" Shilpa scowled and dialled again getting more red with anger...
"Listen!! It wasn't me, I was out..." Armaan started as soon as he picked up the call..
Shilpa not only heard him but the giggles behind him aswell which made it clear to her that he was saying the truth...
"Shilpa!!" She turned around hearing Vikram's voice..
"I'll talk to u later..." She ended the call...
"Agaya maza!!" Armaan took away a pillow from the bed and threw it over Vikas...
"Bohat!!" Vikas jumped...
"Pata nahi kahan kahan to ghoomte rehte hain!!" Shilpa was talking to herself while pressing her dress for the office...
"Kya barbara rahi ho??" Vikram chuckled at her...
"Tumhari shaan mein kaseede parh rahi hun!! sunni hai??" Shilpa taunted rolling her eyes...
"Nahi!! Apni tareef apne saamne sunna mujhe pasand nahi hai!!" Vikram giggled... "Lekin tauba!! Wo tumhara Abhimanyu Modi!! Matlab khoon nichorle wo to insaan ka..." Vikram made a face...
"Shukar manao its only him..." Shilpa replied straight...
"Haan... Warna tumhare would be husband k baare mein to aur bhi suna hai maine... Chameleon to nahi hai kahin?? jab dekho tab rung badalta rehta hai!!" Vikram commented only to get a glare from Shilpa...
"Ouch!!" Vikram rubbed his shoulder as he got a tight smack from Muskaan...
"Mere jiju k baare mein ulta seedha sirf main bolti hun!!" Muskaan pointed a finger at him...
"Jiju ki saali!! Mera bhi wohi rishta hai!!" Vikram hit her lightly on her head...
"You see... Jiju's motive is to kill her!!" Muskaan grinned pointing at Shilpa...
"Really???" Vikram shot a mischevious look to Shilpa "Aisa kya kiya??"
"Kab kab kya kya nahi kiya???" Muskaan Chuckled... "Pehle Professor ki shakal mein fail karne ki bohat koshish ki... phir time to time thode bohat heart attacks dete rahe gayab ho ke... Phirrr Jab humari sakht jaan usse bhi nahi mari, to he took her to a hot air balloon ride!!" Muskaan giggled whereas Vikram started coughing...
"Hot Air Balloon???" His eyes widen up... "Tum zinda kese ho ab tak??" He asked Shilpa who was controlling her temper since long at the two...
"Abhi batati hun!!" She brought the iron close to Vikram...
"Ayeee hatto... tashaddud poasand!! tum to waqai jala do gii..." Vikram got out of her sight...
"Aur tum..." Shilpa glared at Muskaan...
"Main bhi chalti hun... Main to bus yeh batane i thi k mamoo sab ko neeche bol rahe hain k Vikas bahiya arahe hain! 20 din baad..." Muskaan broke her news while hiding herself behind Vikram...
"Wow!! Finally!!!" Vikaram became extremely happy and Shilpa's anger just vanished away..
"I'll mail him a list... mujhe chahiye kuch cheezein..." Vikram rubbed his hands together...
"Muftkhoor... shuru ho gaye naa tum!" Muskaan hit him again...
...
"Uff!!!" Vikas and Armaan both fell down on the sofa together after keeping all bags and everything a side... Weekend was full on fun.. They all had a great time together and now they were back all exhausted and tired...
Putting Aadi on his stomach on the floor cusion, Piya rested her back against the wall and straighten her legs on the carpet whereas Aliya brought some water for all and keeping the tray aside, she too sat down...
"Kal office..." Vikas whined...
"App log India k liye kab nikal rahe ho??" Aliya asked while sipping her water...
"Arre haan yaar!! India bhi jana hai!!" Vikas sighed...
"Hehehehe!! wahan to kutt lagne wali hai tumhari..." Armaan laughed...
"Kis khushi mein??" Vikas frowned...
"Tumhari Nani bhi to mojood hain wahan..." Armaan chuckled...
"Abay yaar... Matlab drame nahi janege meri life se..." Vikas slapped his head..
"Hehe!! choro bhi.." Piya shook her head..
"Dekho shamat to India land hote he sab ki ati hai... bus category different hoti hai!!" Armaan commented..
"Apni to tum rehne he do... harkatein he aisi hain tumhari.." Piya rolled her eyes...
"Jee nahi!! Infact tumhari donow nandein cheekh rahi thi uss din... jharu warru ka kaam karna parr raha hai bechariyun ko... atay ki naukron ki chutti kardi tumhari pyaar nani ne.." Armaan smirked...
"Hahahaha!!! Bhai ki sagai mein poore time saare cousins ka band baja hua tha apke... they were like.. aise nahi wese nahi... abhi nani bataengi!!" Aliya giggled...
"Bhae Humari Nani ki personality he aisi hai!! koi kya kar sakta hai!!" Vikas shrugged his shoulders...
"By the way... Tum apna yeh attire to yahin chor k jaana..." Armaan winked at Piya..
"Obviously!! unke saamne jeans aur shirt mein iss tarah chali gai naa to hogaya mera kaam!!" Piya giggled... "Lekin ek masla hai..." Piya pouted...
"Ab wo kya hai??" Vikas asked...
"Mere pass naa... yahan sirf 3-4 sarres aur suits honge!! baaki to mein jeans kurti wagera mein he hoti hun!!" Piya explained...
"What??? Itne to bhare pade thai kapre tumhare pass... kahan gaye??" Vikas frowned..
"Aree hain yaar!! Dehli mein... ghar pe hain sab!!" Piya bit her lower lip...
"Lo!! Ab pehle dehli jao gay tum log??" Armaan chuckled..
"Dimagh kharab hai kya mera?? paise bohat arahe hain fuzul ke??" Vikas showed his eyes to all... "Tumne wahan kyun chore hain saare kapre??"
"Yaar!! yahan ya NewYork mein kya kaam tha unka?? Infact filhaal to mujhe yeh bhi nahi pata k wo mujhe aenge bhi ya nahi..." Piya replied...
"Obviously... yahan traditional occasionally he pehne gaa insaan... Roz roz pehne lagun to i will look like a cartoon amongst all.." Aliya supported Piya...
"Tumhara nahi jaan ho raha hai Dehli??" Piya inquired Armaan...
"O bus haan!! bohat bann gaya main ghanchakkar... Nidhi ko bhej raha hun main iss baar... kati rahe wo mumbai dehli wahan..." Armaan made a face...
"Haan to perfect haina!! Mom k pass to chaabi hai tumhare ghar ki.. Nidhi jab bhi jaye unse chaabi le ke samaan pack kar k le jaye apne saath Mumbai!! Tum phir le leyna pohunch k..." Aliya showed a way...
"Haan par... wo pehle jaye naa.." Vikas nodded...
"Parson nikle gii wo... pehle dehli jayegi phir mumbai!!" Armaan informed...
"I can't believe i am doing this..." Nidhi gulped down the lump formed inside her throat and ranged the bell... She was standing outside Sid's house...
The door opened up and it was Neha standing in front of her..
"AHem!!!" She cleared her throat... "Namaste Aunty.." Nidhi spoke out in a soft tone..
"Hello Beta!! Tum Nidhi ho na??" Neha smiled at her...
"Jee..." Nidhi nodded in a yes... "Actually... wo main yahan kisi office k kaam se i thi aurr... Sid ne.. yeh bheja hai apke liye!!" Nidhi forwarded a black bag to her...
"Arre tum andar to ao..." Neha invited her inside..
"Nahi aunty!! theek hai... mein chalti.." But before she could complete, Neha dragged her inside...
"Mumma!! Kahan phass gai hun mein?? Sid k bache!! Tumhe zinda nahi chorungi mein... Armaaan!!!" Nidhi was hell nervous at the moment... This confident, independent girl who can travel all around and meet the whole world on her own was shivering at the moment...
"Tum kuch lo gi??" Neha asked which broke Nidhi's trance...
"Nahi Aunty!! Thank You!!" Nidhi bit her lower lip...
"So?? Tum Mumbai mein rehti ho right??" Neha questioned...
"Jee.. Meri family mumbai mein rehti hai... lekin mein ajkal job ki wajah se Australia mein hoti hun..." Nidhi answered sweetly...
"Hmmm..." Neha nodded in a yes... "Feels nice to see such an independent girl.."
"Aunty!! All thanks to my dad... Unhun ne humesha encourage kiya hai aur you know? Aisa kai baar hota hai k apki life mein opportunities ati hain lekin unhe avail karne ki keemat deni parti hai!! Meri family mujhe support nahi karti to shayad mein wahan nahi hoti jahan hun!!" Nidhi spoke out truthfully...
"Khair yeh to hai..." Neha got really impressed with her way of talking and the kindness which was reflecting from each and every word of Nidhi...
After This session, Nidhi went to see Avantika who gave her Vikas Piya's house key...
"Wow!! Dhool mitti hata do to... ghar kaafi bariya hai!!" Nidhi commented...
This house wasn't really a big one... but was superb with design and interiors!! Walking all around, Nidhi served almost half hour to explore every corner of the place after which she followed Piya's instructions and taking out the bag started filling it up with her dresses...
"I Just pray! Iss Mallik family mein Shilpa ki dadi jesa koi na takraye mujhse..." Nidhi sighed while packing things up...
...
"Bada maintain kar k rakha hai yaar tumne khud ko..." Nidhi commented while talking to Piya..
"Kya??" Piya didn't get it...
"Matlab yeh k tumhare measurements ek dum match karte hain!! kuch alter karwane ki zaroorat hai hai!" Nidhi explained...
"Tch!! Khush kar diya tumne!!" Piya giggled...
"Acha chalo rakhti hun... Phir milte hain!!" Nidhi ended the call...
...
"Saari ghalti Vikas ki hai... Ane do usse achi tarah uski khabar lungi!!! Usse seedha yahan ana chahiye tha lekin dekho uski harkatein!!" A melodrama started in Malhotra Residence as soon as Shilpa's dadi got the news about Vikas arrival in few days.. She was the last one to get the news and here everyone was trying to calm her down...
"Batao to... usse sab se pehle yahan ana chahiye tha ya nahi???" She yelled...
"Maa app samajhne ki koshish kijye...uski job ka masla tha!! Warna Aadi ki pedaish pe sab se pehle ussne app he ko phone kar k bataya tha naa??" Shashank tried to calm her down...
"Usse pehle batana chahiye tha yeh sab bhi... main khud jaati uske pass wahan!!" Another loud shout made Shilpa hit her head...
"Yeh dadi ko na aise chain hai na wese..." She mumbled...
"Ab a to raha hai!! ab please maa khatam kijye yeh sab..." Shashank was getting annoyed now...
"Haan Maa!! ab jaane bhi dijye... ab to app par nani ban gai hain!!" Tara tried to bring some peace...
"Yeh Vikas bhaiya to atay he hospital pohunchne wala hai!!" Vikram murmered...
"Itne dinow tak koi khair khabar rakhi ussne?? Shilpa ki sagai pe bhi nahi aya tha!!" Another complain...
"Btaya hota to ata naa!!" Amit rolled his eyes...
"Usse chutti nahi mili thi isliye nahi a saka... lekin gifts wagera sab bheje thai ussne, isliye uss baat pe app usko blame karna chor dijye... bus kijye naa please!!!" Shashank held his hands at last...
"Gifts???" Muskaan shot a questioning look to Shilpa..
"I don't know??" Shilpa raised her shoulders...
"Acha!! kya bheja ussne?? behnow ki fikar thi usse?? lao dikhao mujhe... kya bheja ussne??" Dadi was no less...
"Jao... Shilpa! Muskaan!! Baskets i thi naa tum donow k liye..." Shashank ordered them to go and bring those baskets...
"Jee!!!" Both Shilpa and Muskaan looked at eachother with widen eyes and then ran upstairs...
"Damn!!! Wo sab Vikas Bhaiya ne bheja tha!!!" Muskaan slapped her head...
"Aur hum idiots ki tarah mu phula k bethe thai!! complains pe complains kiye ja rahe thai!!! Mu phula k to bethne ka ab unka time agaya hai!!" Shilpa shook her head while taking out the basket...
"Pagal ho kya?? poora utha k le k jao gii?? Nikalo iss mein se chocolates wagera... khol k dekha he nahi humne uss din k baad se to..." Muskaan gave her some sense after which both the sisters moved their hands fast...
"Perfumes use kar liye, chocolates kha li baaki yeh.." Shilpa smiled sheepishly while presenting all her things which Vikas gifted her...
"So Finally Mr Armaan Mallik!!! Aapne kuch nahi bheja tha... kanjoos!!" Shilpa pouted wrapping her arms against her chest... "Ek minute!! yeh sab Mauritius se... ooo yaani papa Vikas Bhaiya se Milne gaye thai!! Wo Mauritius mein hain ab.. Aur mujhe laga Armaan k saath kuch gadbad thi... oho!! main bhi naa... unhe to pata bhi nahi hoga iss baare mein..." Shilpa mentally kicked herself...
Few Days Later...
"Aye!! Shilpa ko call kar ke halaat to pata karo zara wahan ke...Mujhe bohat ajeeb sii feeling arahi hai!!" Vikas said while sitting down next to Armaan...
"Seedhe seedhe bolo naa... darr lag raha hai!!" Armaan smiled sheepishly...
"Haan lag raha hai bus??? chalo call lagao.." Vikas snored...
"Huhhh,,," Armaan shook his head and taking out his mobile dialled Shilpa's number...
"Hello!! what up??" Armaan was chirpy...
"Hello jiju!! Shilpa neeche busy hai!!" It was Muskaan...
"Ohh Hii Muskaan!! sab set? ajj busy kese??" Armaan made fun of her...
"Mazak mat urao meri behn ka... ajj kal wese bhi nani ki daant sunn sunn k wazan ghat gaya hai humara..." Muskaan pouted...
"Hahahaha!! Bechari tumhari nani... kitna darr hai unka.." Armaan bit his lower lip and turned on the loudspeaker so that Vikas could her all by himself...
"App kya bol rahe hain?? Bhool gaye? beech mall jo session hua tha??" Muskaan giggled...
"Bahar na jaye..." Armaan again warned..
"Haan haan yaad hai mujhe..." Muskaan rolled her eyes...
"What??" Vikas passed a confused look to Armaan who asked him to stay calm..
"So?? Busy kahan hai tumhari behn??" Armaan asked..
"Don't ask jiju!! Humare Vikas Bhaiya kal padhaarne walay hain anddd nani hadd se zyaada excited ho gai hain!! Aisa lag raha hai ghar mein shaadi hai!!" Muskaan sighed...
"Oh!! matlab tum sab ki band baji hui hai??" Armaan chuckled...
"Well, not really!! Hum sabhi kaafi excited hai... Long back start hua koi drama finally end hone wala hai!!" Muskaan breathed deep.. "Hopefully!!" She added...
"Ahan!! Aisa kya khass hai tumhare Vikas bhaiya mein??" Armaan played...
"Tch!! Aapki sagai mein nahi thai naa wo... though i really missed him that day, agar hote to phir jo hota naa appke saath!! you can't even imagine..." Muskaan Coyed...
"Ahan!! jese kahin k president hon tumhare Vikas Bhaiya!!" Armaan said looking at Vikas...
"Arre apko kya pata?? milenge gaa jis din unn se... Uss din aye gii apko sahi mainow mein sasuraal wali feeling!!" Muskaan challanged...
"Hahahaha!!! chalo yeh bhi dekh leyte hain!!" Armaan gave his final words and ended the call..
"To ab tum mujhe sasuraal wali feeling dilao gay??" Armaan arched his eyebrows at Vikas who was grinning...
"Hahahaha! I am just missing it now..." Vikas breathed deep...
"Lekin bhae!! wahan to ulti ganga beh rahi hai!! Lagta hai tumhare mamoo ne koi solid step westep le liya hai!!" Armaan commented...
"Mujhe seriously Muskaan ki koi baat samajh nahi i..." Vikas's eyeballs were out... "I mean mere welcome ki tayyariyaan?? surprising!!"
"Get Ready for it then! I'll pick you guys up in the morning... Bye!!" Armaan laughed and got up... "Aliyaaa!! chalo..." He called out for her loud..
...
"Acha haan mein batana bhool gai... jiju ka call aya tha!!" Muskaan told Shilpa before closing her eyes to sleep...
"Kya keh rahe thai??" Shilpa asked while closing the lights...
"Kuch khass nahi, bus aise he idhar udhar ki.." Muskaan replied with closed eyes..
"Hmmm... chalo ab sote hain!! Tomorrow is going to be a big day!!" Shilpa clipped...
...
Vikas's arrival was something no one ever imagined... Shashank got some serious work at last moment and so he called up Muskaan and asked her to go... Amit, Vikram , Shilpa all really wanted to join but there was the meeting with Ajay Singhania which didn't allowed them to leave...
Waving him from the corner, Muskaan walked fast to approach him... They all were smiling all the while but as he hugged her, those feelings, those memories, everything just came back... Muskaan got teary as he just rubbed her back...
"Adhe ghante se wait kar rahi hun mein... itna kaun late karta hai??" Muskaan complaint while wiping her tears...
"WAIt karwana to haq banta haina mera..." Vikas ruffled her curly hairs like always... "Abhi bhi bomb phata hua hai!!" He commented like always which made her smile and smack on his shoulder...
"Ahem!!" Piya coughed to get the attention...
"Oh Sorry!!" Muskaan bit her tongue... "Hii bhabhi!!" Muskaan hugged Piya smiling and Aadi just got chance to grab those hairs...
"Aadii!! choro..." Piya scolded him trying to open his little fist...
"And the little devil!!" Muskaan giggled and took him in her arms..
He was meeting everyone after his mother's death for the very first time...To hell with all the issues happened in past... Just when he hugged her grandma, it brought tears in both his and her eyes... Piya was meeting others till then and Aadi was with Muskaan...
Padma was at peace as no drama happened and things went peacefully... Piya was dressed in a sarree today which was hell with Aadi.. But Today Aadi was the apple of everyones eyes.. He was acting too too cranky today as all were just new faces to him...
After the long wait, finally Ajay Singhania was infront of everyones eyes for the meeting...
"Yeh..." Shilpa bit her lower lip remembering him now... he was the one of whom she got a proposal but she rejected as she was so on studies plus Shashank was not interested in marrying Shilpa so soon... And just after few like 3-4 months Armaan's proposal came to her which got accepted..
"Mujhe nahi karna iske saath kaam waam... iski nazren he achi nahi lag rahi mujhe..." Shilpa was a quick reacter and now this meeting just just the test of her patience..
"Khatam kab hoga yeh?" Shilpa kicked Rahul under the table..
"Kyaaa??" Rahul widen his eyes at her...
"Jana hai mujhe bahar..." Shilpa made a face...
"Chup kar k beth jao..." Rahul frowned...
"Mujhe bahar jana hai!!" Next it was Amit who got kicked...
"Pagal ho gai hai yeh..." Amit shook his head while backing his feet...
...
The meeting got over and so as the office for Shilpa... She had her deal with Abhi the the morning to release him just after the meeting today... She was supposed to be happy but now everything turned up side down... Her mood was off...
"Uski ankhein!!!" Shilpa was controlling her temper...
"Lekin yeh sirf mujhe lag raha tha ya wo waqai mujhe iss tarah dekh raha tha??" Shilpa questioned herself...
By the time this angry young lady came back home she got welcomed by the name "My Tantrum Queen!!"
"Yes your tantrum queen!!" She giggled jumping over and hugged him tight...
"I missed you!! Really!!" Vikas commented rubbing her shoulder...
"I doubt!!" She pouted..
"I doubt!!!" Vikas rolled his eyes... "Dekha!! Tantrums nahi gaye naa tumhare... Ab to sagai hogai hai!! ab to sudhar jao.." Vikas made fun of her...
"Aap to baap banne pe bhi nahi sudhre.." Shilpa giggled at this gesture...
Dosen't matter if there were any misunderstanding or long gaps or that they didn't met from so long... But these are the blood relations we say.. Now when they met, they were just like before... Ready to tease eachother, Ready to make fun of eachother and Ready to have the time of their life again!!
Aadi was crying since long not leaving Piya... He was not even going to Vikas.
"Hi Bhabhi!!" Shilpa greeted Piya happily and tried to took the baby who started crying more..
"Urghhh!!!" Piya was so tired now...
"Tum sula do isko jaake... shayad theek ho jaye thodi deir mein.." Padma adviced to Piya who nodded in a yes and went to her room...
...
Things got really well settled till Night... Just like before all youngsters were in the lwan in icecream bowls in their hands chatting alla round...
"Aadiii so jao beta!!" Piya was trying hard to put him sleep but he was hell cranky... Poor girl was roaming around here and there since morning with Aadi in her arms... "I just wish mein isko Aliya ko pakrati aur so jati..." Piya cried...
"Wo dekho... cat!!" Piya tried to divert Aadi's attention with Bella who was roaming around freely in the lawn..
"Eeehh" Aadi made his baby sound getting hyper seeing Bella..
"Thank God!!" Piya felt relaxed and finally sat down on a chair next to Shilpa... Shilpa took Bella in her lap and now Aadi was busy in staring her and moving his hands and legs happily...
"Zara door he rakhna issko.." Piya warned Shilpa...
"Kuch nahi karegi bhabhi!!" Shilpa smiled...
"Hahaha!! Usko aadi ki nahi billi ki fikar hai... usse zinda nahi chorega yeh.." Vikas cleared the air while laughing...
In all this fuss, Shilpa completely ignored the incident happened in the morning.. she was just enjoying herself now... Doubts were already cleared seeing Piya's same nature... she was freely letting them do with Aaadi what ever they want to... She even distributed the gifts to all what they brought from Mauritius...
Since Piya had no issues from anyone since beginning so it was all sorted from her side and the main thing Shilpa's dadi was also a bit sweet today as she met her daughter's son after so long... After all Vikas was the first child in the house and the one who made her nani for the first.. And now today Aadi was the first child in this generation of this family...
...
"Like seriously?? You want me to watch this tinkerbell with you??" Armaan passed the most horrible expressions to Aaliya..
"Main akele kabhi koi movie nahi dekhti!! bethna padega appko.." Aliya pointed a finger at him...
"Ajeeb zabardasti hai!!" Armaan made a face..
"Hai to hai.. ab beth jaein!!" She pulled him along with her on the sofa..
"Yaar kya hai yeh?? " Armaan slapped his head... Now he has to watch that animated fairy movie with Aaliya...
"Aise kese?? ab dikha he rahi ho movie to kuch popcorn wagera ka intezaam karo..." He was no less...
In no time, jiuce, fizzy drink, popcorn and icecream! Everything was on the table... " Bus beech mein disturbance nahi honi chahiye..." Another warning came from Aliya..
"Tum Rohail se shaadi karlo... wo movie aise he dekhta hai!!" Armaan spoke out unintentionally... "Ouch!!" He bit his tongue as he realised what he said...
"Meri shakal pe pagal likha hai?? Aur koi nahi mila mujhe??" Aliya rolled her eyes but her heart knows what those words did to her...

"Main kisko kya kahun mujhe samajh nahi araha hai!!" Shilpa was in a mess...
"Armaan se bhi baat karke koi faida nahi hai... infact main unse kahungi kya?? Lekin kisi aur se... kisi aur se shayad main yeh keh bhi nahi paoongii... ya phir Abhi??" Shilpa thought again... "Lekin agar yeh sirf mera shuk hai to??" Another thought strike her...
...
"Mujhe kuch samajh nahi araha... yeh achanak Abhi, Rahul aur Rohail mein kya tiff shuru ho gai hai?? saara waqt jhagarte rehte hain!! aj kal to ek doosre ko neecha dikhane ka koi mauqa he nahi chorte.." Atul was tensed..
"Poore office ka haal ajeeb hua wa hai..." He bit his lower lip...
...
"We have no other option... todd phodd to karni padegii..." He looked down and next threw away the computer on the floor... Next he broke the window glasses and ran off...
"Tum samajhte kya ho khud ko??" Abhi shouted out loud on Rahul...
"Wohi jo main hun!!! Aurr tumse to behtar hun!!" Rahul backfired...
"Yeh deal to main he sign karunga!!" Rohail pointed a finger at the two...
...
"Ajj lag raha hai ghalti kardi... Yeh tumne acha nahi kiya Shilpa!!" An angry Armaan closed his eyes while throwing away whatever he got in his hand...
"Isse shuru tumne kiya tha!! Khatam main karunga... Tumhe mujhse panga nahi leyna chahiye tha..." Armaan gritted his teeth burning all the pictures of her...
