"Good Morning everyone" Shyam greeted everyone at the morning table and flashing a smile at Anjali, he took the seat beside her.
Anjali smiled back and started to make a sandwich for him. Meanwhile, Khushi and Aakash glanced and nodded at each other.
"Ahem" Aakash cleared his throat and started.
"It's India v/s England today" he spoke and everybody stared at him.
"So...we've decided to watch the live streaming in our home theater room. We, NK and all" Arnav glanced at Aakash and then at everyone, his mouth stuffed with the sandwich he was eating.
Deviyani smiled at him and nodded while Manorma threw a curious glance at him.
"Wow. It's great. I'm gonna join you guys too" Shyam said and gave a thumbs up to Aakash.
Anjali raised an eyebrow and turned her head towards Shyam slowly, suppressing a sweet smile on her face.
"Nahin. Aap hamare saath mandir ja rahe hain" Anjali spoke and put the buttered toast into his plate.
"Hahn..Temple but-" he was cut off.
"Yes. It's KulDevi's Puja there. Ye sab to match dekhenge. Humey kon leke jaayga?" Anjali asked cocking her eyebrows.
"But Rani Saheba-"
"You are coming with us Shyam Ji" Anjali stated with a hint of finality in her voice.
Shyam sighed shaking his head. Women these days, I tell you...what to do with them?
He bit on his sandwich when his gaze fell on Arnav who shook his head, throwing fake pity at him. Shyam glanced at Anjali and then glared at him making him burst into a chuckle.
"Bhabhi...you're going to make Jalebis. Your delicious Jalebis and India v/s England can really make a good combo" Arnav spoke.
"You make the world's best Jalebis" he added and continued munching.
Everyone smiled except Manorma who rolled her eyes and shifted in her seat and seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Urh.." Khushi looked at Arnav and then at Deviyani.
"Actually, I'll go mandir with Di and Nani" Khushi spoke and Aakash quickly shot a surprised glance in her direction.
"Why?" asked Arnav narrowing his gaze.
"You are gonna be with us" he added.
"Yes. Khushi Ji. Stay here. You don't need to come to the temple with us. Stay here and have some fun" Anjali smiled.
"Rehne dijyien na Khushi Ji. Stay back. You cannot miss such a good chance" Shyam spoke wryly and Khushi smiled as Deviyani nodded too agreeing with him.
Yes. It was really a good chance for someone like Khushi who is huge cricket lover.
Aakash smiled at Khushi and Khushi smiled back, blinking her eyes at him.
*
"I support England" Arnav spoke stretching his arms.
"So England supporters are gonna sit here" he added, dumping himself on a separate couch and stretching his legs.
Khushi placed the plate of Jalebis down on the round table and turned around to look at Arnav.
"Aur hum India Waale...here" spoke NK dumping himself in the adjacent big couch.
"Come Bhabhi" he called Khushi and shifted to the right, leaving some space for Khushi to sit.
Khushi smiled and nodding at Arnav with chin up, she settled herself beside NK. An amused smile appeared on Arnav's lips and he cocked an eyebrow.
Lavanya's gaze alternated between the two adjacent couches before she smiled and sat beside Arnav comfortably.
"Hey. Payal come" NK shouted at Payal who just entered inside patting the space next to him.
"Ah...No. Payal will sit here" Aakash spoke up before Payal could reply.
Payal fidgeted with her fingers and avoided looking at Aakash as he said. NK narrowed his gaze and looked at Payal.
"No she'll sit here. With me" he said.
"She's going to sit here" Aakash said firmly.
Khushi looked at NK and then at Aakash as he glared at NK while NK looked at him confusedly.
"But why can't she sit here?" he asked and Payal stared at both.
As Aakash was about to reply, Arnav cut him off saying to shut their mouths as the match is about to begin.
"I'll sit with Bhabhi" Payal smiled and Khushi smiled back and asked NK to shift more to give some room to Payal.
Aakash first glared at Arnav who was totally oblivious of the exact situation, his eyes glued to the screen and then he glared at NK who was now complementing Khushi's handmade Jalebis.
Khushi smiled at NK and then glancing at Payal, she gave a sympathetic look to Aakash who sighed and sat alone on the other couch with a grumpy face.
*
The match began with India winning the toss and choosing to ball first. The first over started and Ashwin roars in to ball.
Arnav was totally enjoying the entire match, a grin on his face while NK and Khushi sat with grumpy faces, their arms folded, as it has been 10 overs and there wasn't even a wicket taken down by any baller of India, instead they had given them a free hand to make runs.
Lavanya looked up at Arnav with the corner of her eyes and smiled dreamily at him, admiring his well-shaped and toned face, his sharp nose and irresistible full lips.
She looked at his manly bronze color hand on his thighs and sighed. She stretched her hand to entwine their fingers but sat back when Arnav shouted.
"Wohooo" Arnav clapped enthusiastically as Taylor made a six, the ball tumbling into the mad crowd and NK and Khushi's face fell.
And Yuvraj played his last ball of the over. The ball hit the bat and once again, Taylor blew the ball up in the air with many pair of eyes stuck on it.
"Please catch..please catch" Khushi prayed, her eyes pleading.
"OUUUTTT" Khushi and NK shouted in unison.
Finally a wicket was taken by team India as Rania caught the ball in his hand before throwing it up in the air joyfully.
Khushi and NK grinned hard and hi-fived while Arnav's smile fell.
"So what? England will surely win the match" Arnav said.
"We'll see...we'll see bro. Kon Khiladi aur Kon Halwai" said NK and Arnav looked at him, cocking an eyebrow.
"Halwai nahi NanheJi...Anari" Khushi corrected and chuckled.
"Yeah, Yeah wahi" NK held his ears while Arnav rolled his eyes totally amused and looked away.
Aakash looked at his brother and at his Bhabhi with disbelief who had promised to help him out but here, they were thoroughly enjoying the match to their fullest and here he was sulking alone.
Payal couldn't help but smile as they argued about the catch out. But her smile dimmed when she sensed Aakash's gaze on her and her eyes slowly fluttered up and looked into his eyes directly.
Aakash gave a faint smile to her and Payal looked away feeling hell nervous.
The first inning ended with England's team giving a target of 214/6 to Indian Team and now the second inning began with Rohit and Kohli on the field.
"No chance" Arnav muttered, grabbing a piece of Jalebi and munching on it.
"They're surely gonna win. I bet" Arnav said wiggling his eyebrows at Khushi and NK, teasingly.
They just sighed and waited for the players to bat. It did seem difficult to win, and complete the target in just 18 overs now...but not impossible!
Throughout the match, Lavanya tried to get hold of Arnav's hand but couldn't as every time she tried, Arnav would move his hands away, sometimes up in joy and sometimes to tap on his iPhone.
While Aakash was highly irritated. He wanted to sit with Payal, so he could make the things better between them and ask the reason of her so much reluctance towards him. He wanted to sort out the things but all because of NK, he is sitting here alone, not enjoying even a bit of the match.
He looked at Payal and not able to control himself, he got up and left from there while Payal noticed him going away making her confused.
"Payal" she heard Aakash call her aloud from the doorstep and she turned her head back slowly.
"It's your mother on the line" he spoke tilting his head to a side.
Payal narrowed her eyes and then glanced at Khushi who smiled at her.
"Go" Khushi said and looked at Aakash with a half-amused smile.
Payal nodded and got up, leaving from there followed by Aakash. Meanwhile at the same time, Lavanya had smacked Arnav on his arm, whispering 'unromantic' in his ear and had got up sitting on the couch where Aakash was sat earlier.
Arnav looked at her back confusedly but shook his head turning back his attention to the screen.
"OUT" he shouted clapping loud and Khushi quickly looked away from Payal and Aakash.
"Out" she repeated in a sad tone and NK nodded his mood off.
"They cheated... the umpire. It was not out" Khushi spoke and Arnav shook his head, turning towards her and explaining her.
*
"Hello" Payal spoke in a soft voice but got nothing in response from the other side.
"Hello" she said again and narrowed her eyes and that's when she felt Aakash come behind her.
She realized everything and put the phone down gulping. She turned around and looked at Aakash for a moment before trying to leave from there but Aakash had her wrist in his clutch.
"Payal" he whispered and pulled her back, pinning her to a corner.
"W-what are you doing?" she asked slowly looking everywhere but him.
"Payal. Just tell me what's wrong?" he asked, coming straight to the point.
Payal cocked an eyebrow, pretending to be clueless.
"You don't look fine to me these days and..." he trailed silent and Payal just stared at him, feeling her heart wrench seeing his pained expressions.
"You are avoiding me.." he said.
"Why?" he added and Payal looked down.
"I'm not" she replied.
"You are Payal. You..you don't even pick up my calls. You are resisting me" he said and Payal gulped in a deep breath.
"There's nothing like what you think" she said.
"I might be just stressed out because of exams and nothing" she said and Aakash rolled his eyes.
"A bad one" he said.
"Just tell me...you know that i-" he stopped abruptly and Payal raised her eyebrows, her breath quickening and she stared at him.
He was just about to say it.
*
Arnav laughed and stood up, stretching his arms in Victory as the English Team won the match by 4 runs while NK and Khushi sat with gloomy and dull faces.
"The Umpire took the wrong decision otherwise India would have won the match" Khushi suddenly spoke up.
Arnav again shook his head.
"No Bhabhi. Morgan had hit the wicket with the ball before Sehwag could reach the line. They showed it in the review" Arnav said.
"No Arnav. He had touched the line with his bat already"
"Exactly" NK agreed.
Lavanya just stared at their faces, not understanding a bit.
"Okay...whatever but at last, who won...Eng---Land" Arnav said shrugging and dumped himself back into the couch, taking the plate of sugar-free jalebis in his lap.
"They cheated. Cheaters" Khushi muttered and Arnav chuckled.
"At least admit your defeat NK and Bhabhi" Arnav chuckled more and looked down when the Phone beside him beeped. It was NK's. Arnav cocked an eyebrow and grabbed the Phone before unlocking it.
"So...one message from Sheetal Kapoor"
Arnav spoke out aloud and NK's eyes flew to Arnav and he quickly got up. Lavanya gasped and cupped her mouth.
"Arnav. Please read it aloud" Lavanya pleaded and Arnav smirked looking at NK.
"Arnav" he warned.
Arnav still smirking pressed on the 'Open' option.
"Ahem" Arnav cleared his throat and stood up.
"Arnav stop" NK warned again moving towards him but Arnav moved back.
"Arnav please read it aloud" Lavanya said again and Khushi stared at them with an amused smile.
"Arnav otherwise I'll tell Anjali Di about you eating those blueberry muffins that day. Remember?"
"Haha...Blackmailing won't work dear friend" Arnav chuckled and quickly jumped on the couch and then tumbled down as NK almost pounced on him to snatch his mobile phone.
The couch fell off and Khushi gaped as they both fought behind the couch over the Phone while Lavanya burst into a massive laughter. Her body rumbling as she laughed throwing her head back.
Khushi blinked again with her mouth open and a half-amused smile.
"What are they doing?" Khushi asked.
"Don't-Don't worry Bhabhi" Lavanya laughed more.
"It was really nice meati-" Arnav couldn't complete as NK tried again to snatch the phone, holding Arnav's arm in a steel grip to not let him go.
Khushi got up and moved behind the couch and gasped at the scene, finding them upright on the floor with NK trying hard to get his Phone back and Arnav holding it up high.
Khushi burst into a chuckle and sat down beside them.
"Okay. Okay stop it guys" Khushi tried to sort out.
"Arnie please read it for me" Lavanya shouted from the far end...still laughing.
"It was really nice meeting-" Arnav shouted but couldn't complete again as NK smacked hard on his arm.
Khushi shook her head and smiled at their antics remembering her college days. It was fun.
"Arnav. NK. Stooohhp" Khushi tried to free Arnav's arm from NK's grip and laughed too.
Arnav pushed himself up, stretching his hand to protect the phone from NK's hold but his head hit the headboard of the couch and the couch totally fell on them, trapping the three of them beneath it.
"Oww" Khushi cried as it hit her head too alerting Arnav as he dropped the Phone down and pulled Khushi towards him quickly sliding an arm around her waist before she can get hurt more.
Her head nestled in the crook of his neck and the three of them stared at each other in the utter darkness until they heard the booming laughter of Lavanya.
Arnav huffed annoyingly and with a hand's effort pushed the couch back and craned his head to glare at Lavanya.
He turned his attention to Khushi, and then looked at NK, then at Lavanya and the three of them burst into laughter. His hand slid off her waist slowly and caught hold of her elbow to steady her as they laughed crazily, throwing their heads back at their stupidity and condition.
They just looked so funny at the moment.
"Are you hurt in anyway Bhabhi?" Asked Arnav and NK grabbed the chance by grabbing his Phone quickly.
Khushi shook her head, a grin on her lips.
And well, at the same time...It was Rekha who opened the door and got to watch the scene. She was with Anjali, Deviyani and Manorma to the temple and they had just returned and so she had volunteered to check on the kids.
The scene before her angered her and then she looked around for Lavanya who was in a far corner laughing too.
But gulping back her anger, she turned around and left from there.
*
"It's not necessary to tell you everything Aakash" said Payal.
"At least tell why are you ignoring me?" he asked.
"I'm not...please just stop this interrogation now" she said in a pleading tone and left before he could add something more.
Payal gasped entering inside the home theater.
"What happened here?" she asked to an obviously laughing Lavanya.
"The couch..the couch fell on them" she said breathlessly and Payal gasped again looking at the trio who were laughing too and crazily.
*
"She didn't even let me complete my words Bhabhi. I don't know what has gone wrong with her. She's changed. She-" he trailed silent.
Khushi sighed and looked down. They were in the kitchen and Aakash was leaning against the slab.
Khushi opened the cap of the bottle and gulped down the water.
"I'm just confused. What should I do now?" he asked and Khushi's eyes widened and she spat the water and started coughing when suddenly Manorma appeared behind Aakash.
She coughed again and wiped her mouth.
"Eee suddenly coughing kyun karat ho?" Manorma asked curiously.
Aakash slowly turned back and flashed a suppressed smile at Manorma. Khushi just shrugged and put the bottle aside.
"Good Night" she muttered and scurried away.
"Good Night Maa" Aakash followed Khushi and Manorma cocked an eyebrow smelling something very fishy going on.
*
"And you guys were enjoying India v/s England" Arnav cocked an eyebrow at Aakash as he said this.
Khushi pursed her lips and moved towards him.
"Sorry Aakash. Actually...BuaJi is right about me. I'm totally sanki. Wo hamien Cricket bohat pasand hai na to bss..." she trailed silent.
"Don't worry. We'll together find a solution soon" Khushi assured him and Aakash smiled faintly.
"But (yawn) it was fun" Arnav said.
Aakash looked at him and nodded.
"Good Night Bhabhi" Arnav said and left.
"Good Night" Khushi replied back in a soft voice.
"Good Night Bhabhi"
"Good Night Aakash and stop worrying" Khushi flashed a smile at him standing at the doorstep of her room.
Aakash nodded and smiling back at her, he left. Khushi was about to close the door when a hand appeared and stopped her.
"You are really not hurt Bhabhi?" asked Arnav.
Khushi chuckled and shook her head.
"No Arnav. I'm fine and it was really fun" she said.
"Okay. Then good night" He yawned and left smilingly.
