Chapter-13
Koi Aane Ko Hai
The next morning, everyone were ready to have their breakfasts in the Gangwal house except for Nisha and Kirti. well Kirti had to leave because she had some urgent work in the office and Nisha, well you will come to know.
La- Suku go and call Nisha. Is this the time to sleep?
Su- Okay.
Suku goes upstairs and saw her sleeping.
Su- Abbe Nishu, uth! Maa neeche gussa ho rahi hai.
Ni- (sleepy tone) Hone de! Aur mujhe sone de!
Su- Abbe uth Nisha! Maa neeche tandav karna shuru karein usse pehle uth jaa. Kyun sabki laga rahi hai! (pulls her blanket)
Ni-( sleepy tone, tries to pull back the blanket) Time kya ho raha hai?
Su- 9:30!
Ni- (jerks up) What??????
Nisha gets up and takes her clothes and goes to the washroom blabbering "Main late ho gayi. I will die today."
Su- What happened Nishu?
Ni- Suku! Tu neeche jaa aur Maa ko bol nashta ready rakhe. I will be there in 5 minutes.
Su- Okay!
Suku left because he knew that now she won't tell anything. Nisha got ready actually in 5 minutes. (Yeh kiska darr hai?????)
She came down running. They were having toast with jam. Nisha took a toast and applied jam without even sitting.
La- Arre Nisha! Baith ke toh kha!
Ni- Maa main alte ho rahi hoon.
All together- For what?
Ni- Viraj!!!!
Everyone- What!!!!!!!!
Ni- Arre! Aaj Viraj Aa raha hai. Kal phone aaya tha tab sab bata diya maine usse. Aur woh aaj 9:30 baje ki flight se Aa raha hai. He might have reached. I need to run.
Ra- Par beta, gaadi toh kharab ho rahi hai. Aur doosri gaadi Kirti le gayi hai.
Ni- What??? Dad I need to leave. Ab kya karoon. Viraj toh mujhe kacha chaba jayega.
Just then Kabir comes inside with shagun.
Ka- Namastey aunty! Namstey uncle! Woh actually mom said that some dry fruits are supposed to be given to the bride's parents from the groom's side. Mom and dad said that I should give it. they will come with the rest of the shagun in a few minutes. (hands over the dry fruits to Laxmi)
Ra- (in a hurry) Beta! Tum gaadi se aaye ho?
Ka- Jee uncle, kyun?
La- Beta, actually Nisha has to pick up someone but one of the car is punctured and the other well Kirti took it, she had some important work in office. So we thought if you could take Nisha to the airport.
Ka- Not a problem aunty! (smirks)
Ni-(annoyed) There is a problem. I cannot go with him. I will take his car or rather call a cab.
She was about to call a cab. Kabir gestured Suku to stop her. And unwillingly Suku had to take his side. (I think we all know the reason)
Su- Rukk jaa Nishu! Chali jaa iske saath. Vaise bhi cab will take 5 to 10 minutes to come and then to reach it would take almost an hour. Its better you go with Kabir. If you will go with him you can move faster and reach the airport faster. And then you will not have to call a cab again when you come back.
Nisha was shocked for how come Suku take Kabir's side.
La- Haa Nishu! Don't make it late. Go fast.
Ni- Okay!
Kabir smirked while she was completely irked. (Rhyming bhi ban gaya.)
They sat and set off to the airport. Kabir wanted to drive slow to irk Nisha even more but he realized that the guest was really important.
They reached the airport. Nisha almost ran out of the car and started searching for Viraj. She stood outside the main gate of the airport and called Viraj. He did not pick it up.
Here Kabir was leaning on the car.
Ka- (to himself) aisa kaun Aa raha hai jiske liye ye itni baawali ho rahi hai? Aaj tak toh isse aise pehle kabhi nahi dekha! Dekhte hain kaun hai.
Nisha was calling Viraj again and again but he was cutting the call.
Ni- (to herself, annoyed) problem kya hai iss murak ki. Why is he not picking up the call?!
Someone from the back- Because this murak doesn't want to waste his balance calling you back when he is already there around you.
Nisha turned and was elated to see Viraj. She jumped on him and hugged him. Viraj lost his balance a bit but hugged her back. Kabir was shocked to see Nisha hugging someone by almost jumping on him. Wait HIM! Nisha never went near any guy except for his brother and father to the least since Kabir has seen her. Then who is he?
Ka- (monologue) Now who is this guy? And why is Nisha hugging him? she never likes guys then who is this special case?
Nisha and Viraj
After breaking the hug,
Vi- Tu firse late ho gayi na! (fakes anger)
Ni- Ab chal! Tujhpe ye nautanki acchi nahi lagti hai. Waise kaisa hai tu?
Vi- Awesome aur tujhe dekhkar toh perfect ho gaya hoon.
Ni- Try maar raha hai.
Vi- Bachpan se maar raha hoon. Aaj tak koi kaam ka nahi hai. Ab kaise kaam ka hoga.
Ni- (giggles) Cha lab! We are getting late.
Vi- who is responsible for that! I am sure you might be sleeping.
Ni- (looks here and there) Sort of!
Vi- Sort of! (started tickling her)
Nisha almost started jumping because he was the only one whose tickling made Nisha laugh.
Ni- (laughing) Sorry! Chal na please!
Vi- Much better!
They laughed and walked to Kabir.
Ni- Viraj this is Kabir and Kabir this is Viraj.
Vi- (looking at Nisha) Your boyfriend?
Ni- Viraj you know me!
Vi-(teasingly) Now I don't think so!
Ni- Aisa kuch nahi hai. (looks at Kabir) Yeh ek number ka loafer, lafanga, lafoot and whatever you want to add you can, he has all those qualities.
Ka- Jaise tut oh badi doodh ki dhuli hai.
Ni- Haan tujhse toh zyada hoon.
Vi- oh Nisha! Please rehne do. Tumhe hum bachpan se dekh rahe hai. You are such a K, I can't tell you.
Ni- (frowns) Viraj!
Vi- (giggled and looks at Kabir) Hi! I am Viraj, Viraj Singh Rathore.
Ka- The Viraj Singh Rathore. I mean the famous shooter!
Vi- Yup! Sort of!
Ka- Wow! (side hugged him) Great to see you man! I am Kabir, Kabir Kumar.
Vi- Wait! Are you The Kabir Kumar, the awesomest dancer + Choreographer?
Ka- Sort of! (giggled)
Ni- mai bhi hoon. Viraj tu aane ke baad se mujhe toh bhool hi gaya hai.
Vi- Naya dost jo ban gaya. (looks at Kabir)
Ni- jaa mujhse baat mat karna. (goes and sits in the back seat of the car)
Vi- Arre Nisha! (sits beside her) I am sorry (Hold his ear)
Nisha smiled and then hugged him.
Kabir sat on the driver seat.
Ka- Yr main driver nahi hoon. Please Viraj aisa bhi mat kar.
Viraj laughs. He went and sat on the passenger seat of the car. kabri started driving.
Ka- So how do you know her?
Vi- We are childhood friends. Nisha and I first met at the shooting arena in our school. We didn't know each other at that time because I got admitted in the school a month ago and was kind of an introvert. There was a shooting competition going on in which Nisha and I participated. We were from different houses so at the end only I, Nisha and another guy named Tanmay were left from our houses for the final round. Tanmay got out. And it was tug-off war between me and Nisha. And because I got the last shot out to 9 she won't the award. It was a pin point win. And then after the award ceremony she came to me and we befriended each other. She was the first person with whom I had friendship in the school.
Ni- And then we became good friends and then best friends. We took the same fields so we were together for a longer duration. And then we took the same college. But then Viraj chose the academy abroad while I wanted to be with my parents and family so I chose the one in our country.
Vi - (sad voice) And as my parents died when I was 18 I didn't have to stay in India for them. (trying to hide his pain) Though she tried to stop me but I considered it better to leave.
Ni- And after that I finally accepted him leaving us only on one condition that he would come to meet us every month even if it takes a lot of money.
Vi- And I had to accept it.
Kabir smiled at their friendship. He never thought Nisha would have such a great best friend and that too in a guy. She never looked like a person having friends with guys even. They reached Nisha's house chit-chatting and obviously with Nibir fighting throughout the way.
Vi- Kabir why don't you come in?
Ka- I don't think people would like it. (looking at Nisha)
Vi- (giggled) don't worry she doesn't fight much against my decisions.
Kabir accepted and went inside but not without earning a death glare from Nisha. They went inside and everyone greeted Viraj. Viraj was Nisha's family's favorite. They trusted him like they started trusting Kabir.
Ni- Chalo Viru! Let's go to our room.
Ka- (monologue) Our room?! Yeh thoda zyada nahi ho raha hai?!!!
Vi- (looks at Kabir and understood his confusion) Actually that was our play room when we were small. That was the place we call our ADDA, by our Adda I mean Nisha's and mine. Chalo I will take you too.
Ni- iska aana zaroori hai?
Vi- Haan!
Ka- you are great bro Viru! I hope you don't mind. (smiles cutely)
Ni- (sarcastically) Oh not at all! Why would he! He is your bro, isn't he? Why don't you two go and live for yourself? (annoyed)
Ka- Someone's jealous! Don't worry I won't steal your friend. He is your Best wala buddy. (sadly) I know its value. (fake smile) I have some work Viraj. I need to go back or else mom will kill me.
Kabir started to leave. Nisha felt bad for him. Somewhere she knew that he was hiding something. She went behind him. he was out of the house near his car.
Ni- Kabir! (she called out)
Kabir turned.
Ni- I am not going to say that what you want to hear which is an apologetic word but still I would say, would you like to see our ADDA? (smiles)
Ka- (astonished) Nisha, there is no need. And what is so special about that ADDA?
Ni- OH hello! That is OUR ADDA. That is the place where we enjoyed most of our happy moments. We didn't let even Kirti enter inside. Suku, Viraj and I were of the same gang so only we used to be in there. And you can come only if you want to. (showing attitude)
Ka- You don't really have a problem, do you? Because I don't want you running behind me with a stick in order to beat me for entering in your ADDA.
Ni- Chalna hai to chal. Zyada bhav mat kha. (starts walking)
Ka- Abbe Nisha rukk (runs behind her) Aa raha hoon.
PRECAP- NiRu (Nisha and Viraj) ki dosti se Factory jal rahi hai 😉
