"Mummy,are you sure this is a good idea?",asked Seerat nervously,glancing at her distraught looking younger sister.
"How else are we supposed to destroy the Brars?"interjected her taiji heatedly.
"I hope you haven't forgotten your father's corpse or how it bled all over the streets,how your mother banged on every door,screaming for help,how no one came till it was too late.We were once the wealthiest in Punjab,now look at the state of us."she gestured towards the haveli they owned,the walls falling apart and the roof above their head leaking.
"If it weren't for Akaal Singh Brar,we'd be living here peacefully and your father would still be here with us.You could've modelled and Sahiba could've studied art."
Seerat waited for her aunt to wear herself out.
"In that case taiji,let me marry Garry.Sahiba can deal with Angad."
Sahiba let out a strangled gasp at her sister's declaration.
"Di,please don't do this!"
Seerat ignored her and turned towards their mother who hadn't said a single word.
"It doesn't matter to me,which one of you gets married.I want all the Brars dead,every single one of them."she whispered.
The sisters felt a sudden chill descend upon them.Seerat spoke up after a while.
"Akaal Singh Brar is celebrating his fifty-fifth wedding anniversary tomorrow.We'll strike when the iron is hot."

"Di?"

"They're hosting a dance competition tomorrow.You need to participate in it if you wish to catch Angad's eye."

"But di,I can't let you sacrifice yourself for my sake by marrying Garry."

Seerat simply smiled coldly.

"Don't worry about me.Garry Baweja has no idea what's coming for him."

Chapter 1

"Bebe,everything is ready.Once daarji arrives,we can begin the competition."

Jabjyot Kaur nodded approvingly at Veer.

"I hope you've practised Nikke.It's high time someone beats your daarji.The old man's head is swollen with pride."

Veer laughed and hugged her.

"But bebe,how can I win when the judge is biased?"

She shook her head in amusement and pinched him.

"Cheeky monkey!"

She glanced around before frowning.

"Everyone isn't here.Your daarji will be displeased."

Veer frowned before replying.

"You do know that Inder tayyaji and Garry never attend the pagg tying competition ,right?"

"I wasn't talking about them puttar."

Veer's face morphed as realization dawned upon him.

"I talked to them yesterday.Ekam said she'll definitely come but I'm not sure about Chachi."

She sighed.Veer patted her sympathetically.

"Bebe,whatever happened in the past can't be undone.Atleast Ekam doesn't hate us."

"But Nikke,I really hoped she'd have forgiven us.It has been a long while since the accident."

"Not all wounds heal over time."he said gravely."Tell daarji not to expect her.He'll only disappoint himself."

Bebe nodded sadly and walked over to her youngest son who was busy supervising the dhol players.

"Jaspal,can I please have a word with you?"

He nodded stiffly and led her to a quiet corner.

"I hope the decorations are to your liking."

"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Is it about the music or the refreshments?"

"No,everything is fine."

"In that case I should get back."

"Wait!Is Gurleen coming?"

He turned back slowly ,"Perhaps that's a question you should be asking her."

"Jaspal......"

"Bebe,the competion is about to start.Daarji has come and is asking for you."Kiara called.

They looked at each other for a moment before he left,leaving her behind lost.She followed him and managed to plaster a giant smile on her face as she approached her husband.

"I believe it's time to commence."

She nodded before turning.

"Welcome to the pagg tying competition.It's been a tradition in our family to see who ties the neatest pagg within the allotted time of five minutes."announced Kiara excitedly.

"Now,I'll introduce our contenders.First up ,we have my daarji,sardar Akaal Singh Brar,who's the favourite to win today's competition.Aren't I right Bebe?"she asked,throwing her a conspirational smile.

Bebe felt her cheeks redden even as her husband chuckled.

Kiara continued,"Next is my Angad paaji,our golden Brar boy and the one and only Veer,a hapless romantic and musician extraordinaire."

"Veer's competing?"whispered Manveer,in shock.

"Well parjaai,no one can blame you for not kmowing considering how obsessed you are with your eldest.I'm surprised that you even know Veer's name at this point.But then ,he isn't really yours is he?"a voice cut in.An uncomfortable silence descended over the group.

"Jasleen,will you please shut up?"asked Manveer through gritted teeth."It's not as if you know everything about your son.At the rate at which he's going,I wager that he'll need to get himself tested for STDs sooner rather than later."

"How dare you?"thundered Jasleen,ready to strike her.

"Enough!"boomed daarji.

"This has gone too far.Either the two of you behave or you can leave."

At that exact moment a car pulled up,sending the media into a frenzy.

Chapter 2

Veer watched a tiny figure barrel towards his grandparents.

"Happy anniversary daarji!"exclaimed Ekam, hugging her grandfather who fondly ruffled her hair.

"Thank you puttar.And don't forget your bebe."

Bebe didn't lose the opportunity to pepper her youngest granddaughter with kisses.Before long,the rest of the family descended upon them to greet their newest arrival.Veer managed to extricate himself from the crowd and made his way to the solitary figure standing by the car.

"I told bebe that you weren't coming."

She thought for a moment before replying.

"I didn't think it was a good idea,especially considering the current circumstances but daarji called up and insisted that I come regardless of what storm brews in this household."

"You didn't really have to come if it makes you feel uncomfortable."

"Can anyone truly oppose the great Akaal Singh Brar?"

"You still haven't forgiven them ,have you?"

"I have."

"Then why don't you come back?You and chachu are not divorced."

"Forgiving isn't the same as forgetting,Veer.I can never enter that mansion again."

He watched her as a look of longing crept up her face.He followed her gaze to Jaspal chachu,who true to his nature had stepped away from the crowd ,avoiding small talk while Ekam had turned to her cousins.

"But isn't it worse to leave behind those who truly cherish you and never meant you any harm?"he asked gently."You don't seem happier."

She didn't reply at all,her gaze still on her husband and daughter.He sighed as the beats of the drums grew louder.They had to join the family soon for the pagg tying competition.

"Come on chachi,"he tried coaxing her gently."We need to join the others."

Without waiting for her to reply,he pulled her along to join the rest of the family.A hush descended upon the crowd,as she joined the Brars before the media caught on.At first a murmur,then the din.She forced herself to smile as daarji and bebe welcomed her,broad smiles on their faces.She wondered if they truly welcomed her presence until she caught a steely glint in daarji's eyes.He expected her to perform the role of a prodigal daughter in law,she realized grimly.

Ignoring him completely,she let herself be hugged by bebe who seemed close to crying.

"I didn't think you'd come puttar but you've made this old woman extremely happy."

She felt a hand on her head.It was daarji,giving his blessing.She shuddered a little and pulled away to greet the rest of her family.After the necessary small talk she slunk off to the side hoping to avoid the crowd when someone caught hold of her.She whirled around only to come face to face with Jasleen.

"Gurleen,what on earth are you doing here?"Jasleen asked through gritted teeth.

Gurleen simply shrugged her off.

"Jassi di,that's simply none of your business.Gone are the times I cowered in fear.Now,I know exactly what I'm doing."

With a chilling smile ,she walked off to join her daughter.

**************************************************

Veer was extremely happy to have his aunt and cousin even if they were to leave in the evening.He had missed them immensely over the years as they had been his only family.He narrowed his eyes at his aunts' confrontation but before he could intervene, his chachi had stormed off with a satisfied look on her face.He grinned to himself.Atleast someone had learned to fight back,he thought,looking wistfully at his mother who was busy fussing over his Angad paaji.He felt a stab of jealousy.

No matter how hard he tried,he could never live up to his older brother.Everyone loved the golden boy,Angad Singh Brar.Veer was just Veer,the spare to the heir,the romantic ,sentimental fool.He shook his head to clear his thoughts.Such behavior was dangerous.They couldn't afford to repeat the incident from a decade back.

Suddenly someone collided into him.He sat down with a grunt and looked at his assailant accusingly.It was a man,a rather short one.He had a badge on which read,'Sartaj Singh,P.E. teacher'

He scratched his head as the man muttered a hurried apology and ran towards Ekam.His voice was rather high pitched,he mused.

Chapter three

Keerat gulped nervously as she made her way to Ekam.The younger girl was currently conversing with her father and while she was at loathe to interrupt them,she had to warn her.

"Pssst,Ekam?" She whispered."Emergency!"

Without batting an eyelash,the younger girl gracefully extracted herself from the conversation and joined Keerat.

"What's going on Keerat di?"

"Veer bumped into me and I think he's suspicious."

Ekam frowned."That's not an issue.Mummy and I can distract him.He'll forget about you soon enough."

Keerat groaned internally as the subject of their conversation showed up right next to them.Ekam tensed up beside her.

"Paaji,what's wrong?"

Veer continued to stare at keerat,his eyebrows knitted together in a frown.

"Who are you?"

"He's a bodyguard who also happens to teach at the local school."shot back Ekam.

"Whatever do you need a bodyguard for?"

"Not me,mummy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps it's a question you should ask daarji."

The girls walked away leaving behind a shell shocked Veer.For the first time he noticed the awkward way in which his aunt held her arm and the edge of a bandage peaking beneath her sleeve.He caught Jasleen bua's eye who simply shook her head.

I'll talk to her later,keep everyone distracted.

She seemed to say before turning to address Prabhjyot bua.He and his older bua had always had a very complex relationship.The latter had never failed to remind everyone about his potential illegitimacy while he bore no love for her powerplays.They always kept each other on their toes.But then,it's not as if she loved anyone else in the family with the exception of perhaps bebe,Kiara and Garry.Yet here she was, seemingly concerned about chachi.

When had they become the best of friends?They had barely interacted when Chachi was living with them.Shrugging his shoulders he moved to take his place in the pagg tying competition,right at the end of the line,next to Jaspal chachu.

"Chachu...."

"I'm doing it for Ekam."he blurted out even before Veer could finish his sentence.

Veer rolled his eyes before turning to face the table.

"Are you sure you're doing it only for Ekam?"he caught a glimpse of his chachi siddling up next to bebe,ostensibly to get a better view.

He smirked.

"Perhaps I should win and dedicate my victory to chachi."

Before his uncle could retaliate,Kiara started the timer ,sending him scrambling for the cloth.He cursed under his breath as the cloth got tangled up.There was no way he would be able to tie a pagg neatly under the given time limit.To make matters worse, the P.E teacher was standing right next to Ekam,openly laughing at his conundrum.

The timer went off and he threw up his hands in frustration,finally admitting his defeat.Glancing to his side,he took note of his competitors.Daarji had on the perfect turban,which was unsurprising considering he had enlisted Angad paaji's help.His paaji's turban wasn't that bad either.A little loose perhaps,he mused critically. He finally turned to his chachu and burst into laughter.

"Are you trying to mummify yourself?"he stage whispered as bebe and kiara walked around taking notes.His uncle glared at him through the cloth wrapped tightly around his head,and somehow his face.Ekam and Sartaj Singh came up to him.

"Paaji,your pagg is slightly out if shape."she said with a straight face.

"Knock it off Ekam.Atleast I'm not halfway to an egyptian tomb."

"Unfortunately ,you've missed the point altogether."she grinned.

"What do you mean?"he asked suspiciously.

She simply nudged him and he turned around.

"Ekam,this is not fun-"

Oh....of course.No wonder he had messed up this badly.The press would absolutely eat this up.And daarji would definitely not want someone to overshadow him during his moment of victory.
