Baaraatis - Thread Seventeen


A CC for readers of 'Shaadi'









Do you really think it's time, Arnav?



It is. And you know it too.



This is...difficult. How do you say goodbye to so many who have given you so much? To those who have been here for us through it all?



I never said it would be easy, Khushi. But it needs to be done. Farewells are inevitable...



Do you think they'll understand why we have to leave them now?



I think they will. Because they can see what others cannot...and feel everything that we do.




And will that be enough? Do you think that they will be angry about what we have to do now?



I hope not, Khushi. And even if they are, then it is my hope that their anger will be tempered by the memories of the times we have spent together.



We have had some wonderful times, haven't we? They have laughed with us and cried with us...despaired and loved and fought when we did...they were through it all, and more...



Yes...and that will help us get through this, Khushi. Because no matter what, the beautiful memories will overshadow the painful ones in time.



You have become very wise over the years, Mr. Raizada.



Let's hope that I haven't read them wrong, Khushi. I would hate to see them hurt...not after they have given us so much.



Should we do this now?



There's no point in delaying this any longer, Khushi. We have always been open and honest with them, and this is no exception.



Will you go first, or should I?



We'll do this together. As always.



I...I don't know what to say, Arnav...it's just too hard...




We'll keep it simple, Khushi. Just say goodbye, and thank you , for everything and more.



Thank you all for being there, hamesha...




And stay happy , just the way you have been through this journey...





*******************






A/N:


And that is all that I have to say as well.
A very simple, heartfelt thank you , for being there...for being you, and giving me so much more than I had ever hoped for.

This CC has been part of my life for the past few months and I cherish every moment that I have been here. The love and support that I have received from you all will never, ever be forgotten.

The last epilogue goes out to the Baaraatis, and once again,











I am sure that by now, some of you would have read my last Author's note.
I am so, so sorry to have to do this, but it is my sincere hope that the Baaraatis will understand and support me in this, just as you have been doing from the past few months.

I will still be around until I have posted the deleted 'Shaadi' scene and the last tale for 'Khwahishein', but I will not be as active as before.
This CC belongs to you all, and I would like to know if you wish to continue these threads with other members taking on the responsibility of opening new threads. If that is what you want, then 'Baaraatis' will stay open for the next thread and more.

Please let me know.


This isn't an easy time for me as I prepare to leave the forum that has been a part of my life for almost two years. So please forgive me if I continue to silently 'like' your posts without taking part in the conversation for a while, because that is all that I am capable of at this moment.

If you have any questions for me, I will definitely answer them in a few hours.

Please don't hate me for this, that is my request as I sign off for now.

And yes, please read the main post of this CC, because Arnav and Khushi can say it better than I ever can.


Love and best wishes always,



Juhi.

More likes for an UnRES than RES. KBA?!



Maybe I should just leave this at a RES. Something I have been taught to do by TG!


But as always J, would like me to say something, anything...as long as it is what I want and I am having fun while I am saying it.


And well S would just be all forms of nonchalance, like the cool chick she is.


Anyhow, without further digressing.


Its been quite a journey with Arnav and Khushi...thank you EVERYONE who has been part of it from the beginning of silence to the end of spamming like a Lunatic. And the inbetween of discovering brilliant stories, learning the art of commenting, GIF-ing and chamelism, making new friends and talking about everything under the sky (and pissing off a few angels!).


Also it was my pleasure to challenge expel, except all I did was ask, everything else she did with the support of all the baaraatis. So please thank your ownselves!


LooneyLuna

ps. its kind of hard to recreate this...

Since we are at the final phase of this journey for Shaadi, what will happen next will be answered by Writerji tonight...



But jokes aside, what a great way to end it...20 Thread in total thus far for this beautiful story, now that is a BIG EFFIN DEAL...wouldn't you all agree?!?!?!




All thanks to our dear Writerji for writing a Masterpiece, one that I will read again and again! 👏 Not to mention cherish for so many reasons which you know why, Juhi! And I will respect and support your decision on whatever it is you want to do next. 🤗




And let's not forget Luna for coming up with this challenge, Thank you for the terms of the email and having put this in Juhi's mind for her to create!!!




Last but not least, Baaraatis have really united as one and made this place a home to come here day and night to enjoy and be loved! The best group of people to talk about anything and not have to feel conscience to speak your mind. The Love fest here gives you the fuzzy feeling of always being loved...Thank you for this journey and let's figure out a way to continue it!!!




Celebration time Ladies...Let's dance away to the end of the thread!!!

Mere paas ek option hai...

I could sit and
(cry)
because this wonderful journey is coming to an end and it is almost time for goodbyes

-- OR --

I could
(laugh)

because I got to read yet another wonderful story by my dearest author / friend - Thank you...


-- OR --


I could
(dance)
and be merry because I found bees who are beyond wonderful and gave me a sanctuary from the AD


-- OR --


I could get
(angry)
and slap someone, break the flower pot, store room doors, etc., etc because life is simply not fare and it looks like Shaadi just started and now it is ending (what the)


-- OR --


I could
(wave)
everyone goodbye and be on my way never to put myself through another situation like this


-- BUT --


I am going to
(pray) and be
(hopeful)
that Arnav and Khushi will be with us in another journey in another beautiful narration by Juhi with all my lovely bees for company



and Hamesha be thankful to Juhi and all bees...

Thread 17 for the last update!... ( or is it?? 😉)



Isn't it so Juhi...
With every last update of a story, comes time for a new story...
So it is actually a time to rejoice...

Baaraatis are like fishes (not in the gutter sense) always on the go and with the flow...

They are like a pretty garden formed around the shady tree...


Some are so welcoming making the newer entrants feel at home...

Some open up once in a while...


Some are silent...

Some hang around and enjoy...


While a few are quite vocal...

Some bring in smiles with whatever they write...

While quite a few are star performers...

But this was possible because night blooming water lily was the challenger...

Challenging the effervescent day lily...

And the outcome was an exotic lily...

bringing out the glowing hearts of the ordinary water lillies...

and bubble with happiness...

Finally...

😆

Res

Thanks Manoji for spot cleaning the kitchen counter and especial thanks for cleaning properly after cooking Indian dishes, or else I can't imagine how arnavji's fantasy would have ended. It wouldn't have been this hot, it would have been "burning" hot. 😉

...An ode to all the Baraatis...


How do I begin to write a fitting poem for Shaadi
It leaves me confused and in a bit of a quandary
So much has happened and not just in the story
With it came in to existence our wonderful CC

Where developed friendships & bonds beautifully
Addictive & fun where we all hang out collectively
Not wanting to leave till it's absolutely compulsory
And from being Baraatis we now are called Bees

We talk about anything & everything constantly
And new Bee we always welcome very warmly
Some even who silent readers used to once be
For that though the credit goes to J our writer ji

Juhi, thank you to you I say with much sincerity
For bringing us together I think we all will agree
Looney with your challenge you made us happy
The terms and conditions suited us too perfectly

Mini your gifs & comments a writers dream really
An asset to every thread you are I say honestly
Jigs you are now the backbone of our unique CC
A special bond you share with us all individually

Sami, you along with Choti the queens of guttery
Your poems, images & stories loved by everybody
Of course you think yourselves to be sati savitris
But that place is reserved for our one and only

Or two contenders we have for the spot maybe
One being claimed by our darling Bee Cherry
Who came up with awards & categories witty
Nominations were indeed fun & a great memory

While Gita feels she is deserving too apparently
I suspect she is not an innocent and naive Bee
Her forte lies in calculations & statistics brilliantly
And of course at making ASR muse occasionally

Ruchi our Bee with her fabulous songs & parodies
All the way from London she visits us almost daily
Joined by my sweetheart RRK aka Kavita or Kavi
With guttery riddles & gifs she appears very quietly

A_BA is these days outside the lines,unfortunately
In her AD busy, Aami your presence we miss badly
Ms DK's guttery thoughts are always of top quality
How her mind works is indeed for me still a mystery

The cutest posts of little babies posted by Rashmi
For every occasion she seems to have them ready
Re Re we call her now with love & so affectionately
A name that was given to her by one of the Baraatis

Posts and images share here everyone confidently
Some adding to the fun & to the pages flying rapidly
Like do our very own special Bees Nooro and Preethi
Although I wish they would visit here more frequently
Asha, Dolly & Tinkleby & KKali contributed equally
I hope I don't leave out someone & make them angry
As I know there are more members, am sure many
If so then I do apologise in advance wholeheartedly

But like Rith, Sudha & vks11 it might just be simply
That I may not have interacted with you all previously
Which I wish will be remedied in the future hopefully
For this CC and the Bees will keep buzzing indefinitely
