Baaraatis - Thread Fifteen
A CC for readers of 'Shaadi'
"Welcome back after the break! The baaraatis are now done with their photo-shoot, and we can continue where we left off...Ms.Choti, you were saying something about the other reason for this dharna?"
"What? Oh yes. There is another reason, but you'll have to find out from someone else. I need to get back to writing gutter...I mean, better. Yes, I need to get back and think about ways to make my story better. Look, here's Cherryji, she's back and she knows this group better than anybody else, you could ask her!"
"Sure! Cherryji, what can you tell me about this second reason?"
"Reason? The reason can wait, kyunki intezaar ka phal meetha hota hai. You need to meet the other baaraatis, follow me!"
"I...okay, sure. Who are these girls in this corner over here? They seem to be more...subdued, compared to everyone..."
"Well , they are still getting used to all this noise. They are our silent baaraatis , who are not so silent anymore. There's Manasa, Manasvy and Kurinji with her, and then there's Chavvi, who writes these amazing comments!"
"Who's that girl who is putting up all those random posters around the place?"
"That's Rithika. She posted Gifs on the CC, and now does the same out here. It's her specialty. And here's Amanzbajaj, let me introduce..."
Cherryji, do you know when an update is coming up? Do you?
"Uh no, actually I don't. But if I find out, I'll let you know, okay? Let's move on Ms.Reporter...here's VKS and Sudha, and that girl hurrying in now is Zahra. She's always late to the party. And that group over there who's sitting down now? That's Asha, and Shaima beside her, followed by Polkadots and Sman and Beenish...then Khushiarnav and Lalarukh..."
"Are those their code names?"
"Yes. If you ask them nicely, I'm sure they'll share their real ones with you. "
"Maybe I will, later. Our viewers will be anxious to know all they can about the Baaraatis, you guys have made yourselves very popular! Wait, what's that placard on that chair? Does it say...Res?"
"Yes, that one's reserved for Cravingkhana. She's very mysterious, we never know when or if she's coming..."
"This is amazing! You all are. So many women from so many nationalities, all gathered under one roof...I've never seen anything like it! It's no wonder that our viewers are fans!"
"Yes, this is a wonderful group, and we...wait, who has just arrived in that Limo? I thought that all the Baaraatis were here?"
"Limo? Let's take the camera over there and see who has arrived in style...Oh My God, it's Arnav Singh Raizada! And his wife, Khushi! Viewers, you are in for an unexpected treat, let me see if I can get them to talk to us...Mrs and Mr. Raizada, over here! May I have a few words with you before everyone jumps in for an autograph?"
"Of course. But you are wrong, it isn't the Baaraatis who would be looking for autographs...it's us. My wife and I are here specifically for that reason, and we aren't leaving before we meet every single member of this incredible group!"
"This is unbelievable! So it's really true, the Baaraatis are the real stars!"
"Yes, they are. And my husband has a special surprise for them..."
"He does?! Would you like to tell our viewers what that is?"
"Arnav has been very...creative in obtaining this. He often is, you know."
"Uh...what? "
"She's talking about my shaatir dimaag, Ms. Reporter. You know, the one that has helped me in giving the Baaraatis exactly what they want..."
"Did it just get very...hot in here? Must be all the camera lights...but Mr. Raizada, just what is this gift?"
"You do know that the Baaraatis are here for a reason?"
"Well yes, but I don't quite know what..."
"Allow me to enlighten you. They have been asking the Writer to tell them more about this mysterious 'Challenger'...and now I have managed to obtain this..."
"This...paper?"
"It isn't just any paper. This is the original Contract, the one that was signed between the Writer and the Challenger. And now we are off to give this to the Baaraatis!"
"Thank you for sharing that with our viewers! So there you have it, folks, the Raizadas are off to take autographs from the Baaraatis! Before I sign off, I'd like to remind you to scroll down for our exclusive contract pictures. Until next time, here's me signing off from the Real Stars show!"
