Chapter-1
Kartik Convincing his Dad
The next day Kabir and Kartik went downstairs for the breakfast as it was already 9. While descending down the stairs Kartik was mumbling something.
Kabir- Kya hua bhai? Kyon thaak rahe ho (in Akshay Kumar style)
Kartik- What a brother you are Kabir! Here I am getting tensed and you are so casual.
Kabir- Bro! he stopped him on the stairs and made Kartik look him. he held his hand and said in an assuring tone
"Bro! I am not reacting because I know that you are really brave and you will say it. And I know my dad. His happiness is with his sons. He would never say no to the proposal."
"Sacchi Kabir?" Kartik looked with reproachable eyes at Kabir.
"Are you going to kiss me or what?" Kabir acted as if he was feared.
"I knew you can be serious about anything. " Kartik got irked and descended down the stairs. Kabir giggled and followed him. they reached the table and found their dad reading the newspaper. The newspaper covered his face.
"Good morning dad!" the bro team said it together. arjun got that paper down. (YOU CAN IMAGINE DURGAPRASAD OF SWARAGINI OR SOME OTHER HITLER LOOK CHARACTER AS ARJUN)
Ar- You both are late. It is 9:05. You were supposed to reach here by 9.
Kar- Sorry Dad
Kabir (monologue)- Aise Hitler dad ke saamne yeh bhi bolna that I need to go to the washroom bhi bahut difficult hai. Toh fir apne love ke baare mein batana toh jaan par Aa jaane waali baat hai. Now I actually understand that bhai ki dad se kyun fatt rahi hai. Mujhe hi bhai ki madad karni padegi.
Ar- Kabir! Don't you want to say anything?
Kabir- I am sorry dad.
Ar- Sit here two of you.
Kabir and Kartik sat and looked at each other. "Hitler!" the duo said together with a sigh.
"Good morning children! Tad bit late I guess?" they heard a voice. They saw their mom coming with a bowl in her hand and that beautiful smile which she gives every morning.
Kabir and Kartik said together with a sad face (Well yes, they were acting because only Vasu had the capacity to shout at Arjun. And the best part, Arjun would say nothing and rather pacify her with the help of his kids but today even the kids were in no mood)- Good morning mom!
V- Kya aap bhi subah subah jalladon jaise mere nanhe munhe bachon par chillate rehte ho. Dekho mere bacche kitne udas ho rahe hain subah subah. Ueh bhi koi tareeka hota hai!
Ar- They came late and that is why I shouted. (he said trying to defend himself)
V- Arre! Bacche hain. Late nahi ho sakte kya! Dekho sahi se uth bhi nahi paaye. Ek din milta hai becharon ko rest ka woh bhi aap chiin lete ho! Ye konsa tareeka hai! Bataiye mujhe? (she sat down on her place)
The kids were enjoying it. why wouldn't they? Their father was getting scolded by their mother and today they were angry so they had an excuse to enjoy it.
"But Vasyu..." Arjun was trying to defend himself when Vasu cut him off, "Vasu, basu kuch nahi. Abhi mere bacchon se maafi maangiye warna mujhse baat karne ki sochna bhi mat." Vasu warned him. Arjun knew there was no way left. he looked the other side and said "Sorry!" the kids giggled.
Kabir hit Kartik's leg under the table. Arjun was trying to apologise to Vasu but she wanted to enjoy that moment.
"What?" Kartik whispered trying to be unnoticed by his mom and dad. "When are you going to tell dad? After Kirti bhabhi gets married to someone else?" Kabir whispered back in an angry tone.
"Abbe! Apne jallad baap se aisi baat karne mein time toh lagta hai na!" Kartik whispered trying to express his fear.
"Par Kirti bhabhi ke papa time nahi lagayenge unke rishte ki baat kahi aur karne mein." Kabir tried to explain his fear as he could not bear a depressed bro around him. Kabir showed his eyes to Kartik while Kartik almost begged through his eyes to give him some time and not disturb him. Kabir knew that he would have to start it.
"Dad! Bhai wants to tell you something!" Kabir said disturbing Vasu and Arjun. Kartik was astonished with his brother's stupidity. Kartik was not even prepared with the lines.
"Kabir! I will kill you one day and no one will come to know that it was me." Kartik thought and looked at Kabir with anger while Kabir acted as if eating his food with full concentration trying to avoid eye contact with his brother.
"What is it Kartik?" Arjun asked.
"Kartik was hesitant to speak. "Yes, Kartik we are listening. And I am sure it is not some business work because we are not allowed to talk business on the table." Vasu said. Kartik knew that there was no way out. Kabir was smiling though he didn't show it much. He was eating his food and enjoying his brother's antics.
"Kabir what are you doing? Here your brother is trying to tell us something and you don't want to listen and rather eat!" Vasu scolded him. This time Arjun smiled. He wanted Vasu to shout on her LOVELY' kids. Revenge 1: checked.
"Mom actually..." Kartik was hesitating. "You need not fear. We are all there with you." Vasu tried motivating him.
"I love a girl and want to marry her." Kartik said it in one go closing his eyes in fear. But instead of hearing taunts he heard sounds of laughter. He opened his eyes and saw his family members laughing.
"I am telling the truth. I love her and she loves me." Kartik tried to explain it to them but they were just laughing.
"I get it Kartik. But what was there to fear!" Vasu said in between her laughs.
"Haan beta! Come on we are your parents and we know that you are big enough to take some decisions for yourself. And we are sure that you must have got the right choice for you." Arjun added.
"I thought that you would be angry for I did not tell you earlier." Kartik said.
"Bhai I understand. Hamara baap itna jallad hai isliye. But he is good at heart." Kabir said while laughing. All the others stopped laughing. "What did I say it out loud?" Kabir thought.
"Kabir tu toh gaya. Tune mujhe marwaya tha na. dekh bhagvan ne tujhe marwaya." Kartik was doing happy dance inside.
Kabir was about to say something when his mother started laughing. Neither could Kartik control anymore. He also started laughing. Kabir was astonished but he also joined them. Arjun was making baby faces. "You all take me to be a jallad. I hate you all." He complained like a small child. Vasu held his cheeks and started pulling them. "Ole Le! Babu ko bura laga!" she teased him. "I don't want to talk to you Vasu." Arjun complained looking the other side with a pouting face.
Suddenly Kabir got a message. "People I need to go to the academy. I have got some work there and some new students who need to learn the basics today so that they can join with the other batches tomorrow." Kabir said.
"What Kabir? This is not done. Today is Sunday. And remember no work on Sunday. Come on Kabir." Vasu complained.
Ka- Mom I know but dance is really important to me.
(Yes, Kabir owns a dance academy which is all because of him. he did not take the help of his father or brother and well now as I told you, he is a great dancer and many girls are his fans.)
Ar- But Kabir, we are going to that girl's place. Wait! Kartik you did not tell us anything about that girl you love! And Kabir sit down for now.
Kar- (blushing) Dad her name is Kirti Gangwal. And... he was about to continue but Arjun cut him in the middle.
Ar- Daughter of Ramesh and Laxmi Gangwal?
Kar- (astonished) Yes.
V- sister of Suketu Gangwal?
Kar- (Surprised) Yes!
Ka- But how do you guys know?
Ar- Ramesh is my childhood friend but we could not meet very often since his marriage as he got indulged in his works and I got in mine. But we met 3 to 4 times when Suketu was young. After that we only met him once in a party with his daughter and son. He has another daughter but she was not in the town that time.
V- We know Kirti. She is a good person and a great daughter. Bahut sanskaari bacchi hai. The day we met her we thought that we should get Kartik and Kirti married but thought that you are too young to get married as you were only 23.
Ar- But how did you two come close in the presence of her brother, Suketu?
Kar- At work. She is my personal assistant and we fell in love.
Ar- We will go today in the afternoon to talk to her parents and my childhood best friend.
Ka- Well, I gotta go.
Va- But Kabir what about the meeting?
Ka- Mom, you are elders and you can talk. Just to make them have a look at me, I won't leave my dance. Bye.
Kar- Kabir!
Ka- I will come home by evening. And dad mom ko pata lena warna raat ko good night kissi kaun dega!
He teased his parents and left shouting, "Bye!"
V- And yes Kartik I am angry with you. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I am your mom. You should tell me these things to the least.
Ar- (Monologue) Revenge 2 - Completed
They had their breakfast and went to do their SUNDAY CHORES. But today the time table of Kartik was changed. He called Kirti and talked to her and told her everything.
