A/N: I have made major changes so don't throw Chameli at me.
PART 1: The Life Afterwards
"Main tumhei meri paratha kabhi offer nahi karungi."
"Yea right, jaise mujhe tum jaisi ladkiyon se baath karne ka bahuth shauk hain."
"DI, main patli hona chaahti hoon!"
Anika held the phone away from her; Soumya's voice could be a little too shrill from time to time that she beats her sis, Kajol.
"Stop howling yaar." She sighed.
"HAWW, Anika Sh- I mean just Anika aur 'angrezi', OMG it has to be a cold day in hell today." Soumya laughed, completely forgetting the insult Rudra threw at her a few days ago. She had been since trying to call her sister whodidn't have the furzat to talk till now.
"Shut up Sumi, aur vaise bhi yaha pe mera chaandh uss Bagad Billa ke paas hain aur tumhei mazak sooj rahi hain?" Anika frowned. As long as her chand was with that egoist, she could never forget what happened the night before.
"Bagad Billa?" Soumya laughed. "OMG, yeh kaun hain?"
"Sumi, tumhei nahi lagta ki tum kuch zyaada hi OMG kehthe hain?" She laughed, looking out the window to see Tia and Robin coming in.
"Shut up Di, mujhe achche se patha hai ki aap subject change karne ki koshish kar rahi thi. But can I come and meet you today?" Soumya pleaded. "Main na aaj ek naya type of paratha banaaya hain."
Anika rolled her eyes. Sometimes she wonder whether Soumya is the reason for her expertise in making aloo-puri. And how she knew that she was trying to change the topic? Quickly keeping aside her thoughts, she said:
"Sumi, tum mujhe jab chaahe mil sakthi hoon. Now I GTG, baadh mein baath karthi hain. LOVE ya, Muah!"
With that she hung up the phone, not waiting for any reply. She turned around to see a very intrigued Pinky staring at her, eyes narrowed.
"Who was you talkings?" She asked, her hand moving animatedly.
Anika stared at for a moment but then said, "My husband, Sumesh."
"Tumhaari marriages already hui hain?" Her jaw hit the floor (literally) "OH MY MAATA, aur tum humein informs not ki?"
'Marriages? Maine kab kaha 'marriages''
"Umm. Par- Dadi aur Priyanku ko already patha tha and- mera mathlab hain aur vaise bhi we- hum planning ke alaavah baath nahi karthi... tohhh." Anika bit her lip.
'Seriously, Anu ? Law kiya hain; you should be confident. Fumble na karne ka!'
"Theek hai, theek hai. Vaise bhi mujhe no wantings to knows teri lifes ka chakkar." With that she just left and Anika was like, "OK, now that made no sense whatsoever!"
"Anika putthar!"
"Aa rahi hoon Dadiji!"
"I am like your biggest fan and you are an inspiration to all out there." Ishana was internally cursing her work and luck for making her say such cliche liners. "I mean, normally aap jaise khoobsurat ladkiya modelling aur film industries mein jaathe hain, par aap hain ki mitti ko bachane ki koshish mein lagi hui hain."
"I know right. In fact I hate media and the spotlight, par mitti ki khaathir, hamari mother earth ki khaathir main yeh sab kar rahi hoon." Ridhima had started with her melodrama. "And agar I could change the perspective of even one person, then I have succeeded in my mission!"
"Wow, aap kitne humble ho! Can I have an autograph?" Ishana rolled her eyes as soon as Ridhi- ma turned to get her diamond-studded pen gifted by guess-who.
'Omkaara, tame maine underestimate che. Math bulaana, Marum naam Ishana che. Aur Ishana is mahir in everything.'Ishana laughed internally, smirking at the innocent-sa drama queen in front of her.
"Toh aap aa rahe hain na procession ko lead karne?" she asked sweetly, and Ridhima vulnerable to spotlight complied but not without more melodrama.
"Dadi, Ma. Mujhe goli lagi hain! Bachaaalo! Yeh mere dhonom Bhaiyon ne na mujhe ICU ke bajah yaha lekhar aaya hain. Anika Di, aap theek kehthi hai, mere bade bhai itna bada akadu hain! OWWW!"
Anika couldn't help but laugh at the antics of the boy- guy who she saw as a younger brother. Fine, he could have been hurt but he was just nicked, and now he's doing such melodrama that she wondered what he would have done if he was actually shot.
"Priyanku, paani lekhar aao. Anika Di, main aapke haath se aakri baar aloo-puri khaana chaahtha hoon." Anika and Priyanka looked at each other; they looked like cartoon characters, trying to keep in their laughters. They together strolled off to the kitchen. Hurt or not, he had wished for it.
"Haan haan, agar iski haathon se kuch kaaungi toh teri aakri hi hogi." Shivaay muttered, which only Rudra and Om heard.
"Hmm, phir aap zinda kaise ho? Aap toh unki haath se bahuth kuch kaaya hoga nah?" Om mused, biting his finger nail.
"Like what?" Shivaay frowned at his brothers.
"Joothe!" Om and Rudra exclaimed in unison and burst out laughing. Shivaay looked about, thank god the others were busy talk amongst themselves to notice what was going on amongst the brothers.
"Oh please, main kyun kaao uski joothe? Aur vaise bhi she got names for it all; Lady Gaga or Chameli or whatever!" He sat down, shaking his head in exasperation.
It was only when he saw his brothers staring at him with wide mouths that he realized what he had said. DAMN IT, why was he remembering all these choti si details about her?
