Their time
.
"The Meridian Cruise" is a larger version and as beautiful as everyone could have thought.! Ever since they have arrived at the port and the cruise have started with the journey, everybody is busy moving around and exploring what else is the part of this beautiful Cruise. The large cruise consist of many parts including- a huge auditorium hall, dinning area, playing area, swimming pool, lounge, open air terrace, and the luxurious suites to stay.! The instructors and the crew members of the on-board ship were continuously with their instructions to the fellow passengers, and the one who were not much into listening them were the five kids- who are busy on their own.!
LAKSHMAN- ohh God these kids.!
Lakshman have caught the hold of Kush and Ansh with both of his hands while the two immediately left his hold and again started running behind each other.
SHATRUGHAN- inka to aisa hi hai, aag lage basti me par hum apni masti me.!
Shatrughan's comment have made everyone to laugh looking at the kids.
As everyone has gathered themselves at the lobby, one of the helpers have brought the rooms keys with him gaining everyone's attention.
JANAK- thank you so much.
Janak have accepted the keys from the helper, who placed the tray at the table and left from there. Counting with the number of keys at the tray, Manvi looks at Urmila and Shruti and exchanged a look with each other.
KUSHAL- all please, have your rooms key.
Kushal made everyone to nod in an agreement when Ram and Siya got each other's attention. They felt a moment of embarrassment to pick the keys as both of them were waiting for the other to take the lead. Witnessing their embarrassment, Bharat have jumped in between to take a decision on their behalf.
BHARAT- aa..bb... we have total eight rooms. Usme se, six are taken. And the last two....
Bharat looks at Ram and Siya and then at Sumitra. Lakshman, who was standing next to her, hits his elbow at Sumitra to which she understood what she must say. The six rooms have already taken by the six couples of the family- three elders ones and three younger ones. Remaining two rooms belonged to Ram or Siya or Sumitra out of which they have to decide.
SHATRUGHAN- bhabhi and choti maa can share their room, hai na choti maa.?
Shatrughan winks at Sumitra to which she nodded her head lightly and turns towards Ram and Siya.
SUMITRA- no no, I am not sharing my room with anyone.
Siya's smile immediately dropped down and she looks at Sumitra with her confused expressions.
SUMITRA- I am so sorry Siya but, mujhe akele me sone ki aadat hai.
Siya have sighed a little while Ram too shook his head in disbelief. Both of them have understood for what reasons the family is into their drama.! While the others were smiling lightly and enjoying the ongoing conversation.
SUMITRA- ha but, bacche mere saath reh lenge.
Ram and Siya together uplifts their eyes looking at Sumitra.
RAM- abb akele sone ka kya choti maa.?
Ram folded his hands and questioned Sumitra to which she smile at him sarcastically.
SUMITRA- that I will adjust Ram.!
Everyone again giggles to hear Sumitra's answer while Ram shook his head in disbelief. Siya have bowed down her head feeling a bit embarrassed in the situation for which Janak have observed her.
RAM- to... me aur papa reh lenge ek room me and Siya aur maa...
KRANTI- no no.!
Kranti didn't allowed Ram to complete with his words and everyone smile turning at Kranti.
KRANTI- tumhare papa ko medicine wagera deni hoti hai uske liye me hi sahi hu.
Ram sighed again turning towards Siya who have already given up and is busy only listening to the ongoing conversation. Ram turned towards Janak and was about to speak when Urmila interrupted him.
URMILA- jiju isse pehele aap maa papa ka naam le, let me tell you these two are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Atleast inhe to ek saath rehna hi chahiye na.
Janak turned to look at Siya's expressions for again and then he turned at Ram who has already started scratching his head. While others have nodded in agreement at Urmila.
JANAK- we will arrange for another extra room.
Janak's decision made everyone to look at him in wonder while Ram sighed turning towards Siya. Meanwhile, Siya too have turned her face at Janak who smile a little at her.
JANAK- no one is to adjust for anything. We will arrange another separate room.
The elders turned towards Ram and Siya one by one while the six of them sighed in disbelief looking at each other. Their first plan of alloting a single room to Ram and Siya has been failed and the core reason was due to Janak.
SHRUTI- yeh tauji bhi na.! Dii aur jiju almost maan gaye the.
Shruti have whispered near Manvi and Urmila for which Urmila shook in disbelief and Manvi turned to look at Janak. Everyone have collected their rooms keys and started leaving from there while Manvi walks towards Janak to gain his attention.
MANVI- tauji..
Janak smile looking at her and before he starts speaking he actioned at the helpers to carry the baggages to the respective rooms.
JANAK- yes beta, tell me. Do you want anything.?
Janak placed his hand on Manvi's shoulder to which she shook her head lightly to deny.
MANVI- tauji aap jante hai na hum yeh sab kyu kar rahe hai.
Manvi's straight question made Janak to smile at her and he nodded his head in agreement.
MANVI- dii aur jiju ko ek karne ka isse acha chance hume nahi milega tauji. All we want is all of yours support.
Janak nodded his head in agreement at Manvi's words while his hand went towards her head, caressing her softly.
JANAK- we parents don't need any explaination regarding anything Manvi. Hum samajhte hai.
Manvi's smile increased to hear Janak while he sighed a heavy breath turning at the other side.
JANAK- hum samajhte hai isliye jante hai ki zabardasti se kuch nahi milega.
Manvi very well understood what Janak meant by his words while Janak turned to look at Manvi again.
JANAK- forcefully baat bigad jayegi, aur hume baat bigadni nahi hai. Sudharni hai.!
Janak uplifts his eyebrows for an answer expecting from Manvi to which she smile at him and nodded her head in agreement.
**********
Shruti smiled in a gesture at the helper who have helped her to bring her baggages in their suite.
SHRUTI- thanks a ton.!
The helper leaves from there and Shruti started checking with the arrangements made in their room. Shubh too jumped on the bed while laughing and clapping his hands.
SHRUTI- sshhuu.!! Shubh, don't create noise.
Shruti's instructions made Shubh to lower down his volume but he is still busy into celebrating his excitement.
SHUBH- mamma, yeh bed kitna cozy- cozy hai na.
Shruti giggles at Shubh's words when suddenly Shubh strike with something.
SHUBH- mujhe bhi mere room ka bed dekhna hai, I am going mamma...
Shubh jump off the bed and started running towards the door and before Shruti says something to him he have already started running towards Sumitra's suite. Shruti sighed in disbelief while standing at the door of her room when her eyes falls on Shatrughan, who was standing at a distance while speaking with someone.
SHATRUGHAN- from India... Mumbai.? You have heard.?
Shruti is able to hear the whispers which made her to narrow her eyes looking at Shatrughan talking with a girl.
GIRL- ohh India.! I love India.!!
The foreigner girl looks excited while talking with Shatrughan and which have made Shruti to look more frustrated at both of them. She quickly takes her cellphone from her pocket and dialled his number, still staring at him. Shatrughan took his ringing cellphone from his pocket and answers the call from Shruti.
SHATRUGHAN- haa, bolo...
Shruti sighed in anger still staring at him.
SHRUTI- kya haa bolo.? Ladkiyon se has haske baat karne ki zarurat nahi hai tumhe...
Shatrughan quickly narrowed his eyes and started looking at his side when his eyes falls on Shruti, at the direction of his room.
SHATRUGHAN- wo mujhe playing area ka way puch rahi thi baby...
Shatrughan whispered on the call looking at Shruti's direction to which Shruti again made a face looking at him.
SHRUTI- bata diya na.? Abb chup chap room me aao, warna me tumhe room ke bahar ka rasta dikha dungi.!!
Shatrughan giggles at Shruti's words and he turns to look at the girl who was still smiling at him.
SHATRUGHAN- well, I will take your leave.!
GIRL- yeah, thank you.!
The girl leaves from there and Shatrughan started walking towards his room while Shruti have already left inside.
SHRUTI- aayiye aayiye Shatrughan ji.!! Hogaya ladkiyon se baat karna.?
Shatrughan locks the door behind him and smile looking at Shruti while she stood in front of him having her hands crossed.
SHRUTI- koi ladki dikhi nahi ki shuru hojana hai tumhe. Aadatein badli nahi hai tumhari.
Shatrughan rolls his eyes in disbelief and holds Shruti with her shoulders trying to stop her with her continuous allegations.
SHRUTI- Bhulo mat ek bacche ke papa ho tum...
SHATRUGHAN- bass karo yaar Shruti. Kitna bol rahi ho.!!
Finally Shatrughan interrupted her and she looks at the other side still having that frowned expressions on her face. Shatrughan smile at her and catches her hold by wrapping his hands around her in a back hug.
SHATRUGHAN- Waise you are right, thode dino ke liye let's hand Shubh to maa papa. Aur hum dono bilkul pehele jaisa rehte hai.
Shruti looks at him in her wondered expressions, while the closeness have already made her to feel more nervous.
SHATRUGHAN- mujhe to yeh hamara honeymoon hi lag raha hai. Just like Bali and Lonavala.?
Shatrughan winks at Shruti while she immediately left him from her grip causing a little distance between them.
SHRUTI- do not forget, hum yaha dii aur jiju ke liye aaye hai. Isme khudka wrong time romance mat shuru karo tum.!!
Shruti warns him to which Shatrughan keep on smiling at her with his smirking expressions. Shruti looks puzzled and before she hears anything further from him, she quickly turns herself from Shatrughan while continuing her work.

URMILA- what.?

RAM- Siya...

RAM- hey, mamma kaha hai.?
Luv actioned his finger towards the direction of the washroom while Ram looks at the direction with his confused expressions.
RAM- Siya..??
SIYA- yaha hu Ram.
This time Ram got an immediate reply from Siya, from the direction of the washroom which made him to look at Luv in confusion.
LUV- chalo papa.!
Luv catches the hold of Ram's hand and started pulling him towards the direction of the washroom. Ram looks surprised at Kush who is cozily sleeping into the bath tub while Siya standing near him having her hands crossed in disbelief.
RAM- what is going on here.?
Asked Ram being confused to which Luv giggles looking at Kush and Siya sighed in frustrations.
SIYA- Ram, samjhayiye na aapke bete ko. Sunn hi nahi raha hai.
Siya's complaints made Ram to turn at Kush while he smile happily looking at Ram.
SIYA- ise kabse keh rahi hu to get up from here but yeh hai Raghuvanshi ka khoon, sunna hi nahi hai.
Siya's taunts made Ram to look at her in surprise while Siya made a face at his expressions. Ram sighed while smiling at Kush.
RAM- Kush, come on beta get up. Hume dinner ke liye chalna hai.
Ram's instructions made Kush to shook his head in denial while Siya looks at him in anger.
KUSH- me nahi jaunga papa. Me yahi rahunga, dekhiye kitna cozy hai yeh bath tub. Hamare ghar se bhi jyada acha.
Kush's excitement made Ram to giggle at him while Siya looks at Ram in disbelief. Ram immediately stopped with his laugh and turns towards Luv who was still laughing at Kush.
RAM- par beta yeh koi sone ki jaga hai.? Tomorrow morning you can bath here, but not now.
Ram's request again went blank on Kush and he again shook his head to deny.
SIYA- Kush, nautanki chodo. 5 minutes me agar tum uthe nahi na to me Luv aur papa, hum teeno aapko room me band karke chale jayenge.
Siya points her finger towards Kush which made him to get up from his sleeping position and he looks at her in dissapointment. Ram observes his expressions and jumps in between while holding Siya's hand.
RAM- Siya, rehne dijiye na. Kush ko acha lag raha hai yaha.
