Chapter 41
After their graduation is complete, the wedding preparations are now in full swing. The women of both households are going crazy and with them are their present and future husbands. Naina and Gayatri are busy stressing about minor details, like hall arrangements, food, guest lists, etc. They have gotten Dilip and Surya to book a big hall for the shaadi. For now, their first celebration for the shaadi is the sangeet, which is coming up. The girls have been busy shopping with their grooms, looking for saris, lenghas, and sherwanis. The guys feel so bored, being dragged to all these clothing and jewelry stores. It is exhausting. In any case, the girls eventually pick out their outfits for each occasion and matching outfits for the guys as well. Soon enough the days for celebration arrive, starting with the sangeet.
The sangeet is to be held at the Sharma House, since the engagement was held at the Khanna House. The Sharma House is decorated quite lavishly with Gayatri and Surya supervising the arrangements. The lights outline the outside of the entire house. There are lights everywhere including candles and chandeliers. There are two tents set up on either end of the house and big area in between for dances. There is a stage decorated as well. Now since this wedding is of multiple couples and there is no definite boys and girls side, the guests would be divided into boys against girls.
The girls get ready, while the boys lollygag until the last minute to get ready. The girls blow away the boys in their very hot outfits. Kripa wears a light blue lengha with heavy silver embroidery on the lengha, with a deeply cut back. Anjali wears a light green lengha with a wide neckline exposing her collar bones. Prachi wears a light purple lengha with a deep back and a lace tie at the top. Angad wears a dark blue shirt with a black suit. Kavya wears a dark green shirt with a black suit. Neev wears a dark purple shirt with a black suit. The contrasts of the pairs made them all look absolutely perfect together.
As soon as the guests arrive they evenly distribute themselves either with the boys' side or the girls' side. Oh and aunties dancing doesn't count for either side because their random dance moves honestly doesn't score anyone points. Dilip and Surya come in the center and announce, "Thank you all for coming to the sangeet of our children! Now we are going to have all three couples compete with each other, then the girls vs. the boys!!! First will be Neev and Prachi!! Then Kavya and Anjali!! And last but not least Angad and Kripa!! So everyone enjoy and have a good time!!"
Neev and Prachi both get up reluctantly because it's pretty awkward going first. They go back stage and are really jittery. There is a spotlight that hits the stage while the song plays Ab Toh Forever from Ta Ra Rum Pum.
Chica chica chica that's my chica girl
Ain't nobody that be going better than my chica girl
Chica chica chica that's my chica girl
Ain't nobody that be going better than my chica girl
The DJ starts singing as Neev and Prachi make their way to the stage.
Tum Hi Tum Ho Jo Raaho Mein
Tum Hi Tum Ho Nigaaho Mein
Kis Din Toh Mere Dil Ko Khona Hi Tha
Tumhe Dekha, Tumhe Chaaha, Tumhe Dhunda, Tumhe Paaya
Tumhe Paake Huwa Hai Jo Woh Hona Hi Tha
Chalo Abb Jo Bhi Ho, Tum Haa Yaa Naa Kaho
Mere Dil Mein Tum Hi Tum Ho
Ab Toh Forever
Neev starts singing while circling around Prachi. Prachi blushes seeing the
look in his eyes. Prachi starts walking away while he keeps following her like
a total stalker. While just flips her hair with attitude and keeps walking away.
Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam, Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam
Neev gets irritated by her attitude and pulls her close to himself. Prachi frees
herself from his tight grip and then points towards him while dancing like she
is warning him.
Kabhi Koshish Bhi Mat Karana Mujhe Paane Ki
Mujhe Na Paa Sakoge Tum
Banaake Surat Ghumoge Tum Deewaane Ki
Kahi Pe Na Rahoge Tum
Prachi dances in front of him a little seductively, while Neev's mouth just seems
to drop looking at her this way for the first time. Prachi was always the more
conservative type, yet right now she is anything but conservative.
Chalo Abb Jo Bhi Ho, Tum Haa Yaa Naa Kaho
Mere Dil Mein Tum Hi Tum Ho
Ab Toh Forever
Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam, Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam
Neev shrugs his shoulders and continues to stalk his Prachi like a love
sick puppy.
Bahot Hai Chaahanewaale Mere Duniya Mein
Tumhe Dekhu Toh Kyun Dekhu
Jamin Aur Aasamaan Mein Faasale Jitane Hai
Samajha Lo Dur Utani Hoon
Prachi flips her hair and points to all the people that like her then looks at
Neev up and down in an arrogant manner as if saying "I'm too good for you"
Chalo Abb Jo Bhi Ho, Tum Haa Yaa Naa Kaho
Mere Dil Mein Tum Hi Tum Ho
Abb Toh Forever
Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam, Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam
Neev rolls his eyes at Prachi and sighs looking at how snobbish she is acting.
Neev finds Prachi's behavior rather amusing, enough to make Neev laugh
out loud watching her like this for the first time.
Tum Hi Tum Ho Jo Raaho Mein
Tum Hi Tum Ho Nigaaho Mein
Kis Din Toh Mere Dil Ko Khona Hi Tha
Tumhe Dekha, Tumhe Chaaha, Tumhe Dhunda, Tumhe Paaya
Tumhe Paake Huwa Hai Jo Woh Hona Hi Tha
Chalo Abb Jo Bhi Ho, Tum Haa Yaa Naa Kaho
Mere Dil Mein Tum Hi Tum Ho
Abb Toh Forever
Neev pulls Prachi close to himself and twirls her into his arms. He moves his
face closer to Prachi with every word. Prachi just looks at him really shocked.
Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam, Bring It On....
Jaana Abb Toh Forever, Bring It On....
Ab Forever Sanam
Neev keeps spinning Prachi over and over until the end of the song. The only
thing that is keeping Prachi from falling on the ground is Neev's strong grip
and Prachi holding onto his neck with her eyes closed.
Prachi then opens her eyes to see Neev so close to herself and freaks out! She starts screaming, which causes Neev to let go because of the shock from her outburst. Prachi falls flat on her butt while everyone laughs at their silly behavior. Prachi turns red from embarrassment. Neev scoops her up in his arms and carries her off stage, then gently places her on the ground. Prachi feels like everyone is watching them, which is making her really conscious. Then Kavya and Anjali make their way towards the stage confidently to dance and sing to Tauba Tauba from Kaal.
O mahiyaa O mahiyaa O mahiyaa O mahiyaa
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
Some girls come on stage to serve as backup dancers and they sing. Anjali
and Kavya make their way on stage.
O aaja mahi dhunde yeh ankhiyan
Tak tak rava hai main thakia
Jogan banke pal pal main tarsu
Mil jao tum mil jaye duniya
Ho 0 0 0
Anjali starts singing and dancing to the beat. She keeps staring at Kavya
while singing with passion in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Tu hi deewangi tu hi awaargi
Rabba mere tu hi meri zindagi..
Kavya sings with passion as he looks into Anjali's eyes longingly.
He notices the same passion in her eyes.
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Anjali and Kavya both start dancing while Anjali sings facing Kavya.
Kavya smiles naughtily thinking about the lyrics and begins to roll his
tongue in his mouth. Anjali notices and when she gets a chance, she
smacks his arm because of his inappropriate thoughts.
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
The back up dancers sing while Kavya spins Anjali closer to his body and
sways with her passionately to the rhythm.
O maahiya O maahiya O maahiya
O maula mera dil na toote
Maula mera pyar na roothe
Maula meri preet na choote
Ishq mera faryad lagaye
Kayva sits on the ground while folding his hands in front of Anjali while
singing the lines as if begging her.
Maula mujhe kutch na suhaye
Maula sudh budh ud jaye
Maula hothon pe duaaye
Ishq mera faryad lagaye
Anjali looks at the audience and turns red seeing Kavya on the
ground. Anjali pulls at Kavya's ear and makes him stand since he is
completely embarrassing her.
Oo ruh ki tajgi husn ki sadgi
Rabba mere tu hi meri zindagi
Kavya twirls her into his arms roughly as a consequence for yanking
at his ear.
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Anjali whispers to Kavya in order to snap him out of his trance.
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
Kavya finally releases her when he hears the back up dancers singing.
Alla yeh barse ankhiyan
Alla roshan kar duniya
Alla daman main ho khushiyan
Hai wari main tujhpe jaoo
Kavya looks deeply into Anjali's gorgeous eyes and looks at her
lovingly. Anjali blushes seeing his intense stare.
Hai alla mera deewanapan
Alla ho gayi bairagan
Alla mil jaye ranjan
Tere dar se khali na jao
Anjali goes behind Kavya and holds onto his chest while swaying to
the music and sings to him lovingly.
Ho tu hi deewangi tu hi awaargi
Rabba mere tu hi meri zindagi
Kavya pulls her from behind and traps her in his arms. He nuzzles into
her neck as he sings.
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Tauba tauba ishq main kariya
Anjali sings while being wrapped in his embrace and swaying with
the music.
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
Feel the fire my desire take me higher soniye
Your my pleasure only treasure you forever Soniye
The backup dancers continue to sing, making the couple feel even more
passion for one another.
Tauba tauba tauba tauba
Feel the fire, Tauba tauba, My desire
Tauba tauba tauba tauba
Kavya twirls Anjali one last time and as soon as Anjali's body collides with his
the song comes to an end. Anjali starts struggling to get free from his grip,
but Kavya seems to be lost in her.
Anjali gets annoyed by Kavya because everyone is staring at the couple and is fully aware of Anjali's attempts to get free. They are all silently giggling. Anjali then stomps on his foot and walks away while Kavya falls to the ground holding his foot, then eventually limping off stage. Well now its Angad and Kripa's turn to light up the stage so they make their way towards the stage to perform to Touch Me from Dhoom 2.
Ohhh Baby Ohhh Baby Ohhh Baby
Ohhh Baby Ohhh Baby Ohhh Baby
Kripa comes on stage and starts swaying her hips to the music.
Angad stares at her while she comes towards him and looks at him seductively.
Teekhi teekhi teri aankhiyaan
Chuke Chuke Behkati hai
Dekh dekh na yun mujhko
Hosh hosh le jati hai
Teekhi teekhi teri aankhiyaan
Chuke Chuke Behkati hai
Dekh dekh na yun mujhko
Hosh hosh le jati hai
Angad points at Kripa's eyes as he circles around her. He moves his finger
down her neck and then turns her around. Kripa gets chills running down
her spine at his electrifying touch.
Deewana dil kahin kho jaye naa
Humse khata koi ho jaye naa
Angad points to his heart and then at Kripa while dancing. Kripa laughs at
Angad's funny dance move. Angad pulls Kripa close to himself.
Touch me dont touch me
Dont touch me soniye
Touch me dont touch me
Dont touch me soniye
Angad then pushes Kripa away from himself as he sings. Kripa looks at him
shocked for his sudden move that catches her off guard. She looks
at him angrily while Angad just smirks.
Arre chod chod mere raho ko
Tauba tauba dar lagta
Aisi waise teri baaton se
ishq visk sa lagta hai
Arre chod chod mere raho ko
Tauba tauba dar lagta
Aisi waise teri baaton se
ishq visk sa lagta hai
Kripa pokes Angad back hard as if challenging him. She makes a sarcastic
scared face, which makes Angad a little mad.
Deewana dil kahin kho jaye naa
Humse khata koi ho jaye naa
Kripa pulls Angad close to her body, while Angad's hand start to make
their way down her back.
Touch me dont touch me
Dont touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Dont touch me soniya
Kripa feels Angad's hand going too far down and then pushes him away
grinning, while she sings. Angad looks at her angrily and really annoyed.
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh baby
Ohhh baby Ohhh baby Ohhh baby
Kripa sticks out her tongue at Angad and signals with her thumb down,
showing he lost.
Roke na ruke mere yeh kadam
tute na kahin jana har kadam
Angad starts walking towards Kripa with his hands in his pockets,
totally casual.
Rehne de zara thoda fasla
Badal ban gaye maan hai manchala
When Angad comes near Kripa, she pushes him away, which then
makes him really mad. Kripa laughs at his fuming expressions.
Deewana dil kahin kho jaye naa
Humse khata koi ho jaye naa
Angad sings uninterestedly because he is even madder at Kripa now.
Kripa actually finds this quite amusing.
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Angad looks at Kripa passionately wanting Kripa to come close, but Kripa
turns her head left and right. Angad gets frustrated with her. Angad pulls her
violently and twirls her several times, dancing with her romantically and very close.
Na mein hosh mein
Na tu hosh mein
Behke na kahion dona josh mein
Angad twirls her away which makes Kripa's head spin as she grabs it and
tries to keep her balance.
Sene mein kahin
Shola sa jale
Yara Ishq mein kiska bas chale
Angad walks around her and then turns her to him as he sings. Angad
continues to look at her furiously
Deewana dil kahin kho jaye naa
Humse khata koi ho jaye naa
Kripa holds her eyes in apology with her lower lip pulled out. Angad
laughs and pulls her near him.
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Angad watches Kripa as she deals with her inner battles to have Angad
touch her or not. Kripa looks at Angad so passionately which is
unnerving to even him since they are amongst so many people.
Teekhi teekhi teri aankhiyaan
Chuke Chuke Behkati hai
Dekh dekh na yun mujhko
Hosh hosh le jati hai
Angad winks at Kripa which brings her back from her day dream and
taps Kripa to makes sure she is feeling okay because of all moments to
show her passion she chooses when they are crowded by people.
Chod chod mere raho ko
Tauba tauba dar lagta
Aisi waise teri baaton se
ishq visk sa lagta hai
Kripa goes close to Angad and starts singing, while settling closer
to him in his arms.
Deewana dil kahin kho jaye naa
Humse khata koi ho jaye naa
Angad puts his arms around her as he sings. He feels Kripa snuggling
into his chest.
Touch me don't touch me
Come touch me don't touch me
Come touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
Touch me dont touch me
Aah touch me soniya
The both sing looking into each other's eyes and then hug, bringing
the song to an end.
After the couples' dances are complete, Dilip and Surya take an audience poll for who had the best performance. The loudest applause would win and undoubtly it happened to be Angad and Kripa. Angad and Kripa take a bow and stick their tongues out at Kavya, Anjali, Prachi, and Neev, while they just roll their eyes and laugh at Angad and Kripa's childish behavior. Dilip and Surya then announce, "Now we will have the girls and boys compete against one another! First will be the GUYS!" The boys groan because they have to dance again while the girls laugh at their expressions. The girls begin taunting the guys. Anjali says, "What happened? You guys are accepting defeat even before we started…very bad!" The girls start laughing until Kavya says, "We will see who will be the loser soon enough!" Anjali reples, "Sure…loser!" Kavya replies, "DAM* STRAIGHT…wait what?" The girls laugh at Kavya while Kavya just walks away to meet Angad, Neev, Prem, and Josh in the back to perform. The guys pick the song Kiss Me Baby from Garam Masala.
The guys come on stage one by one all surrounded by girls. They start
blowing kisses to all the girls in the audience while Kripa, Anjali, Prachi, Mukti, and
Aaliya get really mad. The guys grin at the girls expressions.
(Angad) Teri aankhein garam masala
(Kavya) Teri baatein garam msaala
(Neev) Uff yeh nakhra garam masala
(Prem)Mere dil pe dhadkano pe
(Josh) Tuhne jaadu kar daala
(All together)
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
The guys sing to their sweethearts while the girls look totally shocked and
embarrassed. The guys keep going closer to their own lover's face
making the girls feel really awkward because of all the people there. The
guys know they are totally making the girls feel weird, but that's why
they chose this song in the first place, so that they could watch their
funny expressions and laugh about it later.
Mushkil hain kitna mushkil andekha woh kar paana
Dekhe jo tujhko dekhe ho jaaye woh deewana
Angad sings to Kripa looking at her beauty. He bends down on his knee
and spreads his arms out humorously, Kripa just hides her amusement
and blushes.
Teri rangat garam masala
Rang tera garam masala
Kavya sings to Anjali, while giving her a kiss on her cheek and looking
her up and down, then gesturing she looks perfect. This causes Anjali to blush.
Teri chahat garam masala
Ang tera garam masala
Neev moves around Prachi and hugs her from the back as he sings.
Prachi feels really shy at this point.
Mere dil pe dhadkano pe
Tune jaadu kar daala
Prem taps his heart and points towards Mukti as he dances around
her. Prem keeps pulling on her dupatta and bothering her one way
or another.
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
Josh starts coming closer to Aaliya, wanting so badly to kiss her
because she looks breathtaking. Aaliya turns red because of the lyrics.
Ha yeh teri shokh adaye yeh teri mast jawani
Ek din tu ban jaayegi mere sapno ki raani
Angad check out Kripa's every curve while she stands there feeling really
arrogant because of Angad's lyrical flattering.
Ishq tera garam masala
Husn tera garam masala
Kavya looks at Anjali lovingly, while Anjali tries to avoid eye contact
because the song is making her feel weird since their parents are there.
Tera dil woh garam masala
Jism tera oh yah
Neev looks at Prachi up and down as he sings. Prachi looks at him with
eyes wide from shock. She feels so self conscious now and glares at Neev.
Mere dil pe dhadkano pe
Tune jaadu kar daala
Prem looks at Mukti romantically as he sings.
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
The rest of the guys join Josh in singing these particular lines without paying
attention to the reaction of their parents.
(Angad)Teri aankhein garam masala
(Kavya) Teri baatein garam msaala
(Neev) Uff yeh nakhra garam masala
(Prem) Mere dil pe dhadkano pe
(Josh) Tune jaadu kar daala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby hoth tere mai ka pyala
Kiss me baby kiss me baby tu hain mera garam masala
The guys continue to stare at the girls intensely which makes them unsettled.
The girls all start to feel conscious and really nervous under the guys' intense
gaze. The girls feel shaky because they know the whole audience is watching
the girls' reactions to the song.
At the end of the song the boys start running after the girls to get their kisses and the girls see the herd coming their way so they all start running in all directions. In order to get the rowdy boys in control, Dilip comes on stage saying, "Boys kuch zaada ho raha hai! Kuch to shaadi ke liya baacha ke rakho baadmashon!!" The guys stop at once hearing Dilip and start blushing from embarrassment since the whole audience brokes out laughing. The girls then make their way towards the stage to perform to Crazy Kiya Re from Dhoom 2.
Sexy lady on da floor
Keep you coming back for more
Sexy lady on da floor
Keep you coming back for more
The girls come on stage and now feeling really conscious because of the
previous song. Then again that is the guy's plan, which is to get the
girls nervous enough to lose. The girls try to put on a confident face, while
glaring at the guys for messing with their heads.
(Kripa)Chori chori kiyaa re, dil ye dil liyaa re
(Anjali) Jaadu se jaadu kiyaa……kiyaa re
(Prachi) Jaagi soyi rahoon, khoyi khoyi rahoon,
(Mukti) Uski yaadon mein, uske khwaabon mein
(Aaliya) Jhoome jiyaa re………crazy kiya re
The girls dance seductively while continuing to glare at the guys. The
guys just grin knowing they are bound to mess up because they are
still embarrassed from before.
(Kripa)Naa usko pataa, naa uski khataa
(Anjali) Main uspe mar gayi, zaraa usko bataa,
(Prachi)Dheere dheere ikraar mein,
(Mukti) Kabhi kabhi intezaar mein ,
(Aaliya)Uske hi pyaar mein
(All together)Jhoome jiyaa re…crazy kiya re
The girls start dancing, well trying to be seductive, but as soon as they
would see their love winking they would get messed up with the
dance movements.
(Kripa) Main yahaan bhi gayi, main wahaan bhi gayi,
(Anjali) Sochaa pal pal use, main jahaan bhi gayi
(Prachi)Din ho yaa raat ho
(Mukti) Woh mere saath ho
(Aaliya)Jab uski baat ho…jhoome jiyaa re……crazy kiya re
The girls start crashing into each other, while the whole audience makes
noises because it looks like the girls are getting hurt while "dancing". The
guys just try to hide their amusement because they know they are going to
get it as soon as everyone goes home.
(Kripa)Chori chori kiyaa re, dil ye dil liyaa re
(Anjali)Jaadu se jaadu kiyaa……kiyaa re
(Prachi)Jaagi soyi rahoon, khoyi khoyi rahoon,
(Mukti)Uski yaadon mein, uske khwaabon mein
(Aaliya)Jhoome jiyaa re………crazy kiyaa re
The girls have stopped trying since there is absolutely no way they
can win now. They just could not concentrate without feeling everyone
watching their every move with close examination. As soon as the
song ends the girls give the guys icy cold glares. The guys are scared
looking at their evil looks.
Then Dilip and Surya make their way towards the stage again to announce the winners of the boys vs. girls competition. Obviously it is the boys who won, although the girls performance was rather amusing as well.
The guys then start gloating about their victory in front of the girls like wagging meat in front of a dog. The girls are ready to seriously do some damage to their faces. Angad says, "Who's the loser now Kripa?" Kripa quickly replies, "Loser says what" Angad asks confusedly, "What…wait NO YOU'RE THE LOSER!!" The girls laugh and move away from the guys, while Angad continues to scream behind Kripa, "YOU'RE THE LOSER!!" while she ignores him completely. Neev pats Angad on the back saying, "Intellect I tell you, these girls are too smart for us to handle!!" Kavya says, "True…but NEVER let them know that!!" The guys laugh and take their seats in the men's section.
Soon the function comes to an end with everyone slowly leaving. Everyone is exhausted by all the singing and dancing. All the guys want now is go straight to bed and dream about their marriage, but of course there are still some days left for the marriage. Two days later would be the haldi rasam, one step closer to marraige.
Chapter 42
Tonight is the night of the haldi rasam and the three couples are not be able to see each other today either. The couples are starting to get really restless because of the restriction of meeting their bride or grooms. The boys all of yesterday kept getting caught trying to sneak into the girl's bedroom by the guards and were so kindly escorted to the main gate like criminals just to meet the parents. As soon as the guard would get close enough to the main door, the guys would punch, kick, or smack the guard so hard and take off in the opposite direction running back home. Angad even tried pretending to be Kavya and Prachi to sneak over, though his deep voice and heavy built gave him away. It has only been a day of separation, yet these boys are already impatient. Anytime the boys would question the elders to find the reason for the unnecessary distance they would respond, "Sabar ka phal meetha hota hai" which would only fruastrate them further.
The haldi rasam is to be held at the separate house, which agitates the boys even more. The guys are even more disappointed that they can't see their beauties today as well. The girls have been getting updates from random people about the boys' depressive behavior and laugh about it with others while keeping their own depression hidden deep within their hearts. The upcoming happiness is enough to make them forget their depression and launch them into their enchanting dreams about the fairytale life they will lead with their husbands.
The girls go to their rooms to get ready for the haldi rasam dressing in simple yellow shalwar kameez. Kripa is in her room trying to tie the strings in the back of her kurta, but she can't seem to reach that far up. She feels a warm breath tracing her back, giving her chills all over her body. She feels lips dragging up her neck as her eyes close in response. If it is a dream she doesn't want to wake up. The moment those lips touched her skin, she knows it can only be her Angad. His lips make their way up to her ear as his hands encase her delicate waist. He whispers while snuggling into her neck, "I missed you Krips!" As soon as she hears his husky voice, her eyes flutter open and look into the mirror seeing the most perfect sight she has ever witnessed. She leans into him, breathing in his fragerance as she whispers back passionately, "I missed you like crazy! Yeh doorie ab bardaasht nahin hoti!" Angad brushes his lips over her neck murmuring, "I love you" Kripa turns to face him and while brushing her lips across his mumbling, "I love you too!" She flings herself into his arms taking his lips with passion and hunger. Angad falls on the bed with Kripa as she continues to express her fervent desires. Angad gets lost in her familiar and arousing touch. Just then Gayatri knocks on the door making Kripa and Angad snap back to reality. Angad panics as Gayatri yells, "Kripa beta tumhe pata hai Angad kahan hai? Naina pooch rahi hai, who mil nahin raha unhe!" Kripa nervously yells, "No mama Angad yahan nahin hain… I mean muhje nahin pata Angad kahan hai!!" Angad laughs when Gayatri leaves and then stares into Kripa's eyes amused saying, "So you started lying to your own mom for me huh? Very bad Kripa!" Kripa looks at him angrily, "YOU IDIOT! Tumhare liya jhoot bola aur tum muhje…wait abhi batati hoon mama ko! MAMA…….." Angad kissed Kripa midway and then dashes out the window yelling, "Miss Me!!" Kripa blushes a deep shade of red. Angad leaves thinking about what a nice guy the security guy is…and nice is defined as easily bought. This idea of bribing the security comes in handy to two other deperate loverboys.
**********
Kavya enters Anjali's room to see her about to leave her room. Kavya quickly pulls her back, locking the door in the process. Anjali is trapped between his hands. Kavya looks at her naughtily and sees she has already changed into her yellow clothes. He sees how deep the neckline is and whispers, "Anju I won't be at the rasam so who are you wearing these clothes for?" Anjali frowns replying, "My boyfriend!" Kavya rolls his eyes, "Like I said I won't be there" Anjali pats his cheeks replying, "I meant my second boyfriend, You know the one I am cheating on you with!" Kavya starts to frown, "Anju stop messing with me!!" Anjali pushes him with attitude and walks away replying, "Tum baat hi aise karte ho!!! (mimicks his voice) who are you wearing these clothes for? Your such a duffer!!" Kavya grins, "Wow so much anger!!" Anjali sobs silently, which causes Kavya to worry and he asks, "Anju what's wrong? Did I do something…" Anjali shakes her head no, but with teary eyes Anjali looks at Kavya and runs into his arms whispering, "I missed you so much!!" She starts hitting him, complaining he should have come sooner. Kavya just kisses her forhead saying, "Sorry jaan!" After sharing a few passionate moments Kavya exits through the window, but not before screaming, "YOU LOOK HOT ANJU!!!" Anjali blushes at Kavya's comment and smacks her forehead while leaving for downstairs.
**********
When Neev enters Prachi's room he finds her sitting her her bed in her yellow clothes just staring off into space. Neev comes in front of her and all she does is smile. Neev looks at her shocked thinking, "After all I did to get into her bedroom all she does is smile at me!!! I didn't come here to get a smile!" Neev rapidly starts waving his hand in front of her eyes trying to snap her out of her daydream, but it doesn't work. Suddenly he gets naughty idea. He goes close to Prachi's face and she closes her eyes as he inches nearer. Neev stares at her closed eyes and her inviting lips. He brushes his lips on top of hers, which arouses panic within Prachi since she assumed he is an illusion. Her eyes burst open and she launches her arms around his neck causing Neev to fall on top of her. Neev's hand gets stuck under Prachi, which prevents him from getting off her and surprisingly Prachi makes no attempt to free him as well. Prachi just pulls him into a hug and then lay on the bed in each other's arms trying to recall how horrible the one day of separation was for both of them. Surya eventually comes to call Prachi downstairs and Neev kisses her forehead saying, "I will miss you jaan!" Prachi nods in agreement and makes her way downstair, now feeling complete like the glow that was missing from her face has finally returned.
When everyone arrives for the ceremony at both households, they start the rasams. It isn't a big formal ceremony; they just invited some close family friends of both the Sharma's and Khanna's to their separate houses. In the Sharma Household, Josh and Aaliya attend, while Mukti and Prem attend at the Khanna Household. Kavya, Kripa and Prachi are seated on the stage with an assortment of sweets next to them. Poor Kavya can barely wait to eat all those sweets and with great self control he is able to stop himself from devouring the whole tray. As soon as the Khanna's sent over the haldi to the Sharma's, Gayatri began applying it on Kavya, Kripa, and Prachi. Then the rest of the ladies procede by smearing the haldi all over their faces, arms, legs, and anything else that is visible. Kavya does not like the weird smell of the haldi paste and keeps making funny faces as others continue to apply it on him. Josh came up to Kavya and rubbed it all over his mouth, making it go inside as well. Kavya starts to gag as everyone else laughs, finding it rather amusing. Kavya just sits there trying to put on a brave face, plotting revenge in his mind to get Josh later. When some more aunties came on stage Kavya sighs out loud knowing exactly what is to come next. Kavya expresses his disgust to his two sisters as an auntie makes her way to the stage and offers Kripa and Prachi a gift, then turns to Kavya, "Kaash tum meri umar ke hote! Mein tum se shaadi kar leti! Main toh ab bhi jawaan hoon" Kavya fake smiles in agreement and the lady continues to rub the haldi all over his face, not to mention pinching his cheeks in the process. Kavya seriously wants to knock this woman out! She leaves after Kavya gives helpless looks to Gayatri, while Kripa, Prachi, Josh and Aaliya just laugh at the poor guy.
**********
At the Khanna House Angad, Anjali, and Neev also sit on stage surrounded by sweets. Every now and then Angad or Neev would inch their hands closer to the plate of sweets, while Anjali or Naina would have to smack their hand away. Mukti comes to Anjali and gave her a heartfelt hug, then smears haldi all over Anjali while her mouth just drops in surprise. Mukti runs away while Anjali tries to run out her seat but Angad and Neev hold her back and shove her back in the seat. Mukti sticks out her toungue, while Anjali just sits back are not able to do anything with so many people around. That's what seems to be the problem with this rasam, that the bride or groom can't do much, but sit. Prem came to Neev and Angad come behind and shoved haldi in their ear, making Angad and Neev really grossed out and start groaning because they can't wait until the stupid ceremony is over. Soon the crazy ladies come to the stage and some of them give Angad and Neev kisses on their cheeks. What really freaks out Angad and Neev is that the aunties keep trying to pull their shirts off. Angad and Neev start yelling, "AUNTIE STOP IT PLEASE! YEH AAP KYA KARI HAIN? AAP SHAADI SHUDA HAIN AUR AAPKE BACHE BHI HAIN!! MUJHE CHODEIN!!" The ladies continue to tug at their shirts while Neev yells, "AUNTIE PLEASE DON'T RAPE ME!! MERI TO SHAADI BHI NAHIN HUI HAI!!!" Naina then runs over to the boys as they feel relieved saying, "Thank god mom!!Rokein aapne friends ko!" Naina demands, "Angad, Neev aapni shirt utaro!" Neev and Angad gasp, "MOM AAP BHI!!! HUM AAPNE MOOH KAISE DEKHAIN GE PRACHI AUR KRIPA KO!!" Dilip comes over because of the noise and Angad and Neev run to him complaining, "DAD STOP THESE WOMEN!!!" Naina hits her sons' heads and says, "Bewakoof!! We need to put haldi on your body!!" Angad and Neev feel really stupid and reply embarrassed by their outbursts, "OHH…" Anjali, Prem, and Mukti are laughing so hard while pounding the floor and grabbing their stomachs listening to Angad ana Neev trying to defend their honor.
Soon enough this haldi rasam comes to an end, with the now just a couple days away. The guys now have to wait even longer to see their lady loves again!
Chapter 43
After another long day of separation finally comes the day of the mendhi. Just like last time, all the boys can seem to do is think up romantic scenarios in their head. As there are lesser days remaining until the wedding, the more useless the boys become. The boys are uninterested in everything, mainly because it only seems to remind them of the separation even more. It seems to be excruciating pain for the boys, whereas the girls would spend hours together talking about what it will be like to be married. The girls spend hours at night just thinking about their wedding day, whereas the boys are more interested in the events pertaining to the wedding night. Now it's time for the mendhi and this time there is even more strict security meaning NO BARGAINING OR BRIBES! That's right, the parents had found out about the boys sneaking into the girls rooms because a certain someone ::cough:: Kavya ::cough:: couldn't keep it to himself, he had to go blabbing it to Josh and Prem on the phone about how he is such a "badass". Well Gayatri overheard and the rest is history.
Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi decide to wear olive green and brown shalwar kameez for the mendhi. There is heavy embroidery on the kurta and light work on the shalwar and dupatta. Angad, Kavya, and Neev wear brown shalwar kameez so they slightly match with the girls. However matching or no matching it doesn't seem to make a difference since they won't be able to stand next to their beauties anyways. The women are to attend the function at the Sharma House, whereas the men are to attend at the Khanna House. Since it's mostly a celebration for the women, the men are bound to get bored. After Angad and Neev learn that Anjali will be heading over to the Sharma House, they start begging her by requesting, "Anju please give our letters to Kripa and Prachi!! We will do anything!!" Anjali grins devilishly while Angad and Neev frown. Anjali grins, "Anything huh?" Angad and Neev boredly reply, "Stop being so vindictive!" Anjali sees their desperate looks and decides to quit bugging them and replies, "Okay you don't have to act like kids! I will give them your love letters!! KRIPA AND PRACHI LOVERS!" Angad and Neev just frown and watch Anjali leave happily towards the Sharma House with Naina.
At the Sharma House, it's been decked out like no other. There are lights everywhere, dhol baja off in the corner with the old aunties leading it. There are mendhi designers around all the women. In the center of all the attention are the three brides, who are surrounded by mendhi artists as they decorate their hands and feet. When then mendhi is complete Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi blush as they see their respective groom's name on their palms within the intricate designs. Naina and Gayatri come to their daughters and laugh, "Mujhe to laagta hain mendhi ka rang ghera hoga! Bahut pyaar jo karte hain hamare bache ek dusre se!" The girls blush wondering and hoping the color comes out extremely dark. Soon the ladies start dancing to shaadi songs while the girls blush on stage not being able to move a muscle because of the mendhi on their hands and feet.
At the Khanna House, the men are all gathered around the television watching some sort of sports program. Angad, Kavya, and Neev groan in boredom thinking how their gorgeous brides are sitting only a door away. Dilip and Surya notice their boys are somewhat lost in their thoughts and guess their boys are thinking about their marriage. Dilip and Surya feel sorry for them as the boys look so depressed and slowly make their way towards them. Surya says, "Angad, Kavya, and Neev, tum log to aise act kare ho jaise yeh shaadhi nahin balke koi maargaya hai! Cheer up!!" The boys flash a fake smile while Dilip and Surya laugh. Dilip whispers to the boys, "Ek idea hain mere paas!" Angad says, "Dad keep your idea to yourself! Mom is going to end up killing us one day because of your ideas!!!" Dilip whispers rolling his eyes, "Arre suno toh! Look do you want to see the girls or not!" The guys are now all ears and nodding like baboons. Surya and Dilip whisper in the boys ears while the guys stand up and yell, "NOOOOOOO!! NEVER!! HELL NO!!!" Dilip and Surya reply, "As you wish!!" and walk off to join their friends. Now Angad, Kavya, and Neev are in some serious thoughts and look at each other awkwardly. Kavya says to Angad and Neev, "Should we?" Angad retorts, "Are you crazy man! What about our image!!" Neev says, "Oh forget our image I just wanna see Prachi!! I'm going upstairs to get ready! You guys figure out what you wanna do!!" Kavya says to Angad, "Chalna Angad! If anything it will just be super hilarious and you know it!!" Angad sighs, "FINE!! I JUST HOPE WE DON'T GET CAUGHT!!" and joins Neev and Kavya heading towards his parents room.
Ten minutes later, outside the Sharma mansion stand three gorgeous… scratch that three hideous transvestites, yes that's right Angad, Kavya, and Neev dressed up like those men that wear saris and parade around walking like women, not to mention enter random parties to beg for money. If you must know, Angad is wearing a blue sari, Kavya an orange sari, and Neev a pink sari. Oh and they didn't even spare on the eyeliner, their eyes are fully loaded with heavy makeup, their lips are red, their cheeks are pink, which is all a courtesy of Naina's makeup supplies and the jewelry is also credited to Naina's collection. As soon as the door opens, the guys push the security guard aside and strut the woman in them as they walk into the hall wearing heels, moving their butts from side to side. Their acting is so great that no one seems to notice who they are. Naina and Gayatri stop the three men in sari's and ask, "Behen humne aap logon ko nahin bhulaya! Aap log please jao!" Neev smiles widely saying, "Hai Hai!! Shaadi ho rahi hain aur hum na aye" Kavya interrupts, "Aisa toh ho nahin sakta!! Waise auntie you look HOT!" Angad just holds his pallu over his mouth so no one can see his gotee and nods shyly along with Neev and Kavya.
Kripa, Anjali and Prachi don't seem to be fooled by the performance. Kripa whispers, "There are three of them! And they all seem kind of bulky! Daal mein kuch kaala hain!!" Anjali and Prachi look at them curiously and nod, "Mhmm!" Anjali says, "They look kind of familiar…" Kripa, Anjali, and Prachi's eyes grow wide in shock as the sudden realization hits them, "OH MY GOD!!" Everyone in the hall turn their attention to the girls since they screamed so loudly. The girls blush in embarrassment and apologize for the outburst. Prachi whispers, "Yeh teen yahan kya kare hain?" Anjali says, "Obviously milne aye hain!" Kripa grins, "Let's have some fun of our own!" Anjali and Prachi grin at Kripa as she whispers the plan.
By now their mendhi seems to be completely dry, so Kripa stands up and heads towards the transvestites A.K.A. their future husbands! Kripa says with lots of attitude, "Mom, rehne deh na inko!" Angad grin which soon turns into a frown as Kripa continues, "Toh behenji aap log naach gaana to kijiye!!" Angad, Kavya, and Neev's eyes grow wide in shock as Anjali adds, "Of course! You all have to dance and sing for us!!" Kavya chirps in a high pitched voice, "Nahin hum yuhin teek hain!!" Prachi touches Neev's arm saying, "I insist!! Please…." Neev shivers with delight and seems to cave seeing Prachi's puppy dog eyes, and just like a love sick puppy Neev responds, "Okay!!" Angad and Kavya yell, "No, no she is kidding! We don't dance!" Kripa and Anjali laugh at the boys replying, "That's okay! Humein dua toh deh sakte hain na! Yahan aiye na!" Angad, Kavya, and Neev grin as they make their way towards the girls, while Naina and Gayatri seem a little confused and curious on the whole matter. Angad whispers to Kripa, "You look DAM* HOT!!" Kripa whispers back seductively looking into his kohled eyes, "And you… you look like a kaam wali!!!" Angad frowns and gets embarrassed remembering that he is wearing a sari. Kavya says to Anjali, "I missed you!!" Anjali says, "You are so desperate!!! You Idiot!!" Kavya replies, "I did it for you!!" Anjali laughs, "I can never look at you the same anymore babe!" Kavya mumbles, "Badmein dekhta hoon!!" Neev to Prachi says, "So did you miss me?" Prachi laughs, "Yea RIGHT!! You look horrible!!" Neev checks himself out and replies, "Sweetie I look better than you right now!! Prachi you can't even carry a sari!!" Prachi gets mad and smacks his arm as he laughs. Naina and Gayatri quickly make their way towards the girls and guys quickly hide their faces in their pallus and sit with the older women.
Kavya and Neev seem to actually look more like women, then Angad does. In fact Kavya and Neev seem to pass as women as well. An auntie sitting next to Kavya asks, "Beti are you married" Kavya coughs and replies in a high pitched voice, "No… No auntie koi mila nahin abhi tak!" The woman replies, "Beti mera beta tumhare liya bilkul perfect hai!! Tum batao tumhari mummi kahan hai, mein unse baat karti hoon shaadi ke liye!" Angad and Neev overhear and laugh at the situation, while the auntie then turns to Neev and says, "Beti tum mere dusre beta ke liye bilkul perfect ho, tumhari mummi kahan hain, main unse bhi baat karleti hoon!!" Neev's smile disappears and starts coughing violently as Angad thumps Neev's back. The auntie then catches sight of Angad and says, "Beti tum waxing kyun nahin karleti! You know sab ladkiyan upper lip waxing karte hain, tumhari mustache ke baal bhi chale jayenge!! Phir mein upne thesre beta se shaadi kardoongi tumhari!!" Angad's smile disappears and he replies in his deep husky voice, "Aap ke kitne larke hain?" The auntie replies proudly, "Teen bete hain mere!! Tum log ke liye perfect hain! Beta tumhari awaaz ko kya hua?" Angad, Kavya, and Neev freeze on spot and are shocked since Naina and Gayatri heard Angad's voice. Angad, Kavya, and Neev curse under their breath as their mothers make their way towards the boys. The boys get up as their mothers approach and Angad counts silently, "3… 2… 1… RUN!!!" Angad, Kavya, and Neev dart towards the door, not worrying about their sari and yell to their brides as they leave, "MISS US!!!!" The girls laugh seeing their lovers running since they women are on their tail holding their shoes in hand. Angad and Neev run out the door, while Kavya trips right by the door as the ladies gather around him to beat him silly with their shoes. Angad and Neev quickly run back and yank at Kavya's arms and drag him out the Sharma House with the women yelling behind with shoes in their hands, "WAPAS MAT ANA!! NAHIN TOH BAHUT MAARENGE TUM LOG KO!!"
The boys laugh all the way to the Khanna House and walk right in forgetting they are wearing saris. All the men in the room turn to look at Angad, Kavya, and Neev walk in. The boys stop at the door as they notice all the men in laughter fits, well mainly pointing in their direction as they fall on the floor. Angad looks at them like they are nuts and turns towards Kavya and Neev to ask what is up with the men. Just as Angad catches sight of what Neev and Kavya are wearing, it all makes sense and all three yell, "OH SHIT!!" The boys run up stairs triping in their sari occasionally. As soon as they are in Dilip and Naina's room they yank the sari off with great force. Angad turns to Kavya and Neev asking, "We are okay now right?" Kavya and Neev move their head left and right vigorously and pull Angad in front of a mirror to see heavy eye shadow, eye liner, red lipstick, and pink blush!! All three dart into the bathroom and wash their face a billion times to get off the great deal of make they had painted on their faces. They throw on their brown shalwar kameez and make their way downstairs after all the men have calmed down from their laughter.
As the guys go downstairs, the first thing they are asked is by Josh, "So what happened down there?" Angad, Kavya, and Neev announce, "We came, We saw, and CONQUERED!! …THEN WE RAN LIKE HELL AS THE AUNTIES CHASED US OUT!!!" Everyone laughs at their little expedition and the boys join to toast to their mission's success as the guys pat the boys' backs to a job well done! Dilip and Surya grin sheepishly at their children remembering their own similar expedition when they got married.
And so concludes the celebrations of the mendhi. The girls now sit in their rooms admiring their lover's names in their palms as they think about their future with them. The girls suddenly remember their letters from the boys and start reading.
Kripa reads,
"My Krips,
You have no idea how badly I am missing you! I'm crazy about you! One day without you is one day not worth living! I can't live without you anymore! I hope these days or separation pass quickly because I want to hold you in my arms for eternity!
Eternally Yours, Angad"
Kripa blushes as she read his letter. Anjali lays in her room as she remembers her own letter than Kavya had given to Kripa to pass along to Anjali. Anjali rushes to her purse and pulls out her letter and begins reading,
"Dear Anju,
Babe I'm so not missing you at all! Pfft, nope definitely NOT!! … OH WHO AM I KIDDING!! I love you Anju!! I know you think I'm a moron that I'm writing all this to you, but every second I spend without you seems to make me restless. I'm lost without you! You know I'm not myself without you! I can't wait til we are married and you make me complete forever!
Love Always, Kavya"
Anjali rolls around the bed kissing the letter and falls asleep hugging it. Prachi leaps out of bed as she remembers her letter. She opens it eagerly and reads,
"My Love Prachi,
Jaan I'm so deeply in love with you!! I miss you a great deal! I miss making fun of you and seeing that cute annoyed face you make! Prachi when will we get married! I know you miss me as much as I am missing you! I hope we get to see each other tonight at the mendhi! I can't wait until you become mine forever and then I will leave no chance to annoy you because I know you love having me bother you! Love You!
Yours Forever, Neev"
As the girls finish with their letters, there is a deep blush radiating from their cheeks as they think about their loves. The guys lay on their beds laughing at all the stuff that occurred throughout the day. It has been an entertaining day to say the least and they got to see their beauty queens before the wedding day as well. The wedding is now only two days away, so sleeping for these lovebirds is almost impossible.
Chapter 44
As soon as the morning came everyone awakes in both the Khanna House and Sharma House. In the Khanna House, Angad, Anjali, and Neev are sitting in the dining room finishing their breakfast as their Naina and Dilip discuss wedding details, since it happens to be the following day itself. Angad gets a phone call from Josh and answers, "Hey what's up buddy? Kya ho raha hai?" Josh asks, "Angad you know what today is right?" Angad responds matter-of-factly, "Duh! Its Friday!" Josh rolls his eyes saying, "NO!! today is your FINAL day of freedom, your last breath of free air, your last night as a bachelour, your…" Angad interrupts, "Okay I get it Josh, so what's that plan for tonight?" Josh replies enthusiastically, "it's PARTY TIME!!!" Angad nearly chokes, "What? Party? Josh are you crazy what if the girls find out?" Josh replies dully, "Are you that threatened, come on man I'm sure they will be partying tonight too! Besides you know me better than that, do I ever take no for an answer when it comes to parties…thought so! Now we are leaving at 7 so be ready and oh tell Neev the plan! Prem is telling Kavya now! Anyways I gotta bounce, bye bro!" Angad quickly asks, "Wait Josh where are we going? … hello… HELLO?" Angad sighs and shuts his phone making his way back to Neev to tell him the plan for tonight.
Meanwhile at the Sharma House, Kripa gets a similar phone call from Aaliya. Kripa answers, "Hey Aali what's up?" Aaliya replies, "Listen we are going to a club tonight!" Kripa asks now slightly whispering, "We who?" Aaliya says, "The girls of course; Me, you, Anjali, Prachi, and Mukti! It will be so much fun" Kripa asks, "Hmm okay I guess, did you talk to Anjali?" Aaliya replies, "Mukti is talking to her right now and you fill in Prachi, then I will come pick you guys up in a couple hours so bring all your clothes and stuff with you cuz I'm sure your parents won't let you go to a club a day before your wedding, which probably explains why you're whispering!" Kripa laughs, "Oh Aali you know us well! Listen I'll tell Prachi and get ready, see ya in a few!" Kripa hangs up and grins thinking, "Club huh… sounds like fun!"
Kripa heads to Prachi's room and sees Prachi is just staring at her mehendi. Kripa sneaks up behind and screams, "Bahut ghera rang hai na?" Prachi panics and realizes it's only her twin. Kripa hugs her sister and shows her own hands to Prachi stating, "Mine too! Bahut ghera rang hai! Lagta hai duno humse bahut pyaar karte hai!" Prachi nods her head shyly while Kripa jumps on her bed saying, "Aacha suno we are going to a club tonight!" Prachi looks shocked, "We can't go! Our wedding is tomorrow!" Kripa sighs and says, "Prachi it's out last day before we get married, don't you want to just enjoy it?" Prachi starts to contemplate, "Well I guess…" Kripa screams in delight, "Great then it's settled umm by the way I'm choosing your outfit!" Prachi races to her wardrobe and says, "No way! You're gonna pick something horrible!" Kripa acts all offended saying, "Are you kidding, I'm gonna pick something that makes you look mindblowing, so move" Prachi obeys her sister while Kripa laughs at her cute defeated expressions. Kripa says on a more serious note, "Prachi I'm so glad we are marrying into the same family! I don't know what I would do without my twin!" Prachi hugs Kripa replying softly, "Me too!"
So by now, all the convincing has been completed and the guys and girls are all psyched to go on their little outings. The girls are all at Aaliya's house getting ready. Kripa wears a sleek black dress making her look very alluring. Anjali wears a red dress enhancing her delicate curves. Prachi wears a white and black dress with black roses printed on the fabric with black knee high boots making her look sensational. Mukti wears a blue dress with black laces making her look drop dead gorgeous. Last, but not least Aaliya wears a satin emerald green dress which makes her look phenomenal.
The guys all leave from the Khanna House, mainly since Naina and Dilip are at the Sharma House talking over details about the wedding tomorrow. Angad wears ripped jeans with a black transperant button down shirt. Kavya wears a red silky shirt with black ripped jeans. Neev wears ripped blue jeans and a white and black pinstripe shirt. Prem wears a blue silky shirt with black jeans. Josh wears a green transperant shirt with ripped jeans. The guys all look incredibly smoking HOT!
The guys and girls leave for the club, oblivious to the fact that both groups are heading towards the SAME club. Lucky for them huh? Well the guys arrive first and make their way towards the bar. The guys get a little wasted and just then a group of girls from their college crowd around Angad requesting him to sing a song. Angad gives the girls a dashing smile and replies, "Who am I to say no to such gorgeous girls?" and Angad heads towards the stage. The girls hop on stage as Angad sits on a stool in the middle with a guitar in hand as he sings Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai from Who Lamhe.
Kyon aaj kal neend kam khwab zaada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi neek iraada hai
Kal tha fakeer aaj dil shezada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi neek iraada hai
Angad plays the guitar with a breezy expression on his face.
The tipsy girls start swaying and singing in the background. He starts to
sing in his deep husky voice, slightly drunk, and recalls his lady love as he
sings about his anxious behavior over the past few days.
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Angad closes his eyes and all he sees is his Krips in front of him. He
feels she is moving around him, as if he can feel her lips on him and he
can't help, but blush at this. A smile begins to play upon his lips as he
sings to the audience who is going wild hearing his incredible voice and
seeing him wink at a bunch of girls. The girls start to crowd around Angad once
again, draping their arms onto his muscular arms and godly chest.
Pathar ke in raston pe
Phoolon ke ek chaadar hai
Jabse mile ho humko
Badla har ek manzar hai
Angad moves the girls away from him as he realizes they are not his Krips
and continues to sing. Angad closes his eyes to once again envisioning
his Krips somewhere around him, caressing him, kissing him, and loving him.
Angad starts to think about how tomorrow Krips will be his in every way shape
and form, his Krips for eternity.
Dekho jahaan main neele neele asmaan thale
Rang naye naye hai jaise ghulte huwe
Sohye se khwab mere jaage tere waaste
Tere khayalon se hai bheege mere raaste
Kavya thinks about his own Anju as Angad sings on stage. Kavya closes
his eyes and Anjali appears before him. He can't seem to contain his own
excitement about tomorrow, when they will become one…forever. For
now all Kavya can seem to do is dream, it's like Anjali has awaken all his
desires within him, leaving Kavya restless even now.
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kavya silently sings to himself, knowing he is in fact truly, madly, and deeply
in love with Anjali. This seems to explain his unsettled behavior; love does
strange things to people.
Tum kyon chale aate ho
Har raaz hain in khwaabon main
Chupke se aa bhi jaao
Ek din meri bahoon main
Kavya feels so impatient, he can't seem to enjoy himself even now
because Anjali's memories are flooding his mind and heart. He can't seem
to think of anything else. He closes his eyes and drinks more alcohol to calm
his nerves enough to last the night without going insane.
Tere he saapnein andheron mein ujaalon mein
Koi naasha hain tere aankhon ke pyalo mein
Tu mere khwabon mein jawabon mein sawaalon mein
Har din churaata tumhe mein laaton hoon kyaalon mein
Neev can't seems to find himself lost in Angad's song as well. He remembers
how these past few days have been the hardest for him. He would
find himself in daydreams about Prachi, night or day, it didn't matter.
Neev remembers Prachi's beautiful brown eyes and all he wants to do is
to stare into them forever, losing himself in them forever. Prachi is his whole
world and she is just a day away.
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya
Kaisa khumar hai ya
Josh and Prem notice Neev is lost in his thoughts so they shove a drink
down Neev's mouth trying to make him remember that tonight is his last
day of freedom, but all Neev can think of is Prachi. And just like that, the
girls enter the club as Angad finishes up the song.
The audience breaks into a round of applause for Angad since he gave such a heartfelt performance. The girls stand inside the club not knowing why everyone seems to be clapping. Angad on the other hands gets approached by a man from the Soul Music Company. He introduces himself, "Hi Angad, that was a fantastic performance, my name is Karan Mehra and I'm from the Soul Music Company. You have a natural talent in singing and we are actually looking for new talent for our next album so if you are ever interested please give us a call. Here is my card…" Angad replies shocked, "Umm thanks, but I'm not aspiring to be a singer, although if I ever change my mind I will let you know Mr. Mehra!" Karan replies, "Sure of course and do enjoy your evening!" Angad stands there looking at the business card as his friends walk towards him with questioning looks. Angad brushes it aside and says, "Come on guys, LET'S PARTY!!" The guys start dancing in the middle of the crowded dance floor with anyone and everyone.
The girls head towards the bar to get some refreshments and start chatting amongst themselves. A man comes towards Kripa asking, "Hi, I'm Nishant… can I have a dance with a beautiful girl like yourself?" Kripa is about to politely refuse when she catches sight of Angad dancing really close to some random girl. Kripa is about to storm over there to smack Angad senseless, when she sees her own brother, Kavya dancing with someone other than Anjali. Then she sees Neev, Prem, and Josh doing the same as well. Krips fumes, then turning to Anjali she points in the direction of the guys. Anjali, Prachi, Mukti, and Aaliya watch their boyfriends openly flirting with some girls and become furious. The guy that asked Kripa for a dance is still waiting for her response. Kripa knocks down some liquor and grabs the guy onto the dance floor out of jealousy and rage. Kripa's eyes are burning with anger as she watches the guys. Anjali, Mukti, Aaliya, and even Prachi chug down a shot and grab random guys onto the dance floor. Anjali grabs some guy named Yug, Mukti grabs some guy named Karthik, Aaliya grabs some guy named Shabbir, and Prachi grabs some guy named Varun.
As soon as Kripa hits the dance floor she grabs a microphone from the DJ and starts singing to Woh Ajnabee from The Train.
Woh Ajnabee Woh Woh Woh Woh Ajanabee, Woh Ajanabee…….
Aisa Koi Mujhko Mil Gaya Hai Saathiya
Jise Dekhakar Main Bhulu Saari Duniya
Aisa Koi Mujhko Mil Gaya Hai Saathiya
Jise Dekhakar Main Bhulu Saari Duniya
Kripa looks straight at Angad as she sings. Kripa starts dancing really
closely to the guy. Just then Angad notices Kripa is on the dance floor
and gets really happy to see her. Then he notices the anger and frustration
in her eyes and he gets scared to even approach her. He doesn't understand
why she is so upset with him. Then it hits him and he shoves the girl off himself.
He notices Kripa's dancing with some guy out of anger and smirks to himself.
Woh Woh Woh Ajanabee, Woh Ajanabee Jo Dekhe Dur Se
Dekhu Main Usako Hi, Ho Usako Hi, Abb Sab Kuchh Bhul Ke
Woh Woh Woh Ajanabee, Woh Ajanabee Jo Dekhe Dur Se
Dekhu Main Usako Hi, Ho Usako Hi, Abb Sab Kuchh Bhul Ke
Angad starts dancing while pointing at Kripa. Kripa look away in anger as
Angad starts coming closer. Angad laughs at Kripa's stubbornness. The other
guys realize that Angad is singing to Kripa and panic because they know

Angad tries to convince Kripa that he only has eyes for her. Kripa gives him
an evil glare as Angad smirks thinking, "She's so jealous! God I love her!"
Angad sees the guy is touching Kripa and Angad just slowly walks up to
Kripa and snatches her away from the guy's grasp and pulls her into him,
both colliding with each other. Angad starts to dance with Kripa closely,
while Kripa refuses to dance and just shoots out death glares at Angad…
that is until Angad softly whispers, "I'm sorry Krips!" Kripa finds herself caving
into Angad's one touch and one whisper. Kripa turns and hugs Angad
momentarily.
Woh Ajnabee, Woh Ajnabee, Woh Ajnabee, Woh Ajnabee
Woh Woh Woh Ajnabee, Woh Ajnabee, Woh Ajnabee……..

into his eyes passionately and longingly. Now similar scenes occured
between the other couples however the girls can't stay mad at their loves
forever, now can they? Kripa sings and dances really closely to Angad as his
hands travel up and down her body. Kripa starts pulling Angad's head to
brush her lips against his and snuggle into his body. Angad just feels complete
bliss as he whispers, "I love you Krips!" Kripa whispers, "Me too!"

at Kavya's yelps of pain. She just buries herself in his arms and begins
threatening him. Anjali whispers seductively, "Kavya if you EVER, and I mean
EVER touch another girl that's not me then I will surely castrate you!!" Kavya
gulps not even wanting to think about how painful that would be and he just
nods like an obedient child scared out of his mind.

and then laughs at her cute yet violent nature and pulls her into a hug.

to get up and tickles her in the process.

The other three couples seem to be in their own dream lands and don't seem to care about what Josh, Aaliya, Prem, and Mukti are up to. Soon Angad, Kavya, and Neev decide to take the girls home hoping they all don't have massive hangovers for tomorrow. And so concludes the bachelor and bachelorette party which somehow collided into one. So much for spending time apart right?
Chapter 45
The sun begins to play upon the eyelids of two extremely happy couples. They couples seem to be cozied up in their own hotel rooms, which are right beside each other's. Then moments later the girl in each room, wakes up screaming upon seeing their boyfriends face. All that is audible in both rooms is Mukti and Aaliya screaming, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Mukti is screaming on top of her lungs, which causes Prem to wake up with a start asking, "Mukti stop screaming… OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM… WAIT THIS ISN'T MY ROOM!! WHERE ARE WE? OMG WHERE ARE MY PANTS? DID WE…" Mukti looks absolutely horrified and breaks down holding her head in her hands, noticing she is only wearing her undergarments. Prem sees Mukti crying and comes towards her to console her, but Mukti screams, "PREM DON'T TOUCH ME!!" as Mukti swats away Prem's arm she notices something on her finger… it is a ring. Her eyes grow wide in shock as the sudden realization comes upon her, she finally comprehends, "We got married?... we got married last night!" Prem looks at her confused and notices his own ring on his third finger as well. Then comes the headache from both their hangovers and it all seems to make sense. Mukti says, "We were drunk…AND WE GOT MARRIED!!" Mukti breaks into sobs again saying, "I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER MY OWN WEDDING!!!" Prem looks stunned as it is starting to sink in, he sees Mukti crying again and pulls her into a hug saying, "Shhhh baby it doesn't matter, look I still love you, it's okay just calm down! It was gonna happen one day, granted I would have liked us to be in our senses and have our family and friends there, but that's alright. Mukti you are okay with this right?" Mukti nods as Prem wipes her tears. Prem says, "Okay lets go get ready to leave" Prem gets off the bed as Mukti holds his hand asking, "Did we umm… you know?" Prem gets a naughty smile on his face and he whispers, "I think we did…" Mukti starts crying again saying, "But I don't remember!!!" Prem laughs and hugs her whispering, "Sweetheart your mine now! We have our whole lives together… it's okay we can pretend we didn't! " Mukti laughs and gets up to get ready to leave.
**********
As soon as Aaliya noticed a shirtless Josh, she starts screaming like crazy. Aaliya jumps up in bed and pushes Josh off the bed. Josh falls and notices it is Aaliya who pushed him off. He yells agitated because of his hangover, "Aaliya what the hell man! …AALIYA?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHY WAS I IN BED WITH YOU?? WHY AM I WEARING ONLY BOXERS?? MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY DON'T I REMEMBER ANYTHING??" Aaliya raises her finger to Josh and starts yelling, "JOSH I WAS DRUNK!! HOW COULD OU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!!!" Josh notices the ring on her finger as her finger pokes into his chest threateningly. Josh gasps in horror, "Aali why is there a ring on your ring finger?" Aaliya looks confusedly at Josh and then at her own hand as images appear before her eyes. Aaliya looks at Josh and sees he looks like he has remembered as well. Aaliya says burying her head in his chest, "Oh Josh what did we do?? I love you, but I didn't want to get married like this…" Josh replies, "Aali it's okay! I love you and that's what matters! I was gonna ask you to marry me soon anyways so it's alright!" Josh and Aaliya look towards each other as they remember why they left the club. They both yell together, "IT'S PREM AND MUKTI'S FAULT!!!" They quickly throw on their clothes and head out the door, and guess who they crash into… PREM AND MUKTI.
FLASHBACK
Prem and Mukti head out the club, followed by Josh and Aaliya. Josh and Aaliya approach Prem and Mukti asking, "Guys where are you going?" Prem and Mukti gigglingly respond, "We are going to get married right now, wanna come?" Josh and Aaliya nod their heads and get into a car, driving off to a mandir. Well the pandit didn't seem to notice Prem and Mukti are drunk because he has a stuffy nose and apparently is practically blind as well. So anyways he starts the ceremony and finishes with a very chirpy Prem and Mukti. Then Josh and Aaliya go up to the pandit and ask, "Can you marry us too?" The pandit nods and performs the ceremony again. But this isn't all… not only are they drunk, but they happen to be very intelligent drunks meaning right after going to the mandir, they go to court and OFFICIALLY get married, legal documents and all! Who would have thought, but then again there are four of them, surely one had to remember it's not official yet and this brainiac happens to be PREM! Then after officially becoming man and wife, the two couples checked into a ravishing hotel to spend their nuptial night together… too bad they can barely remember!
END OF FLASHBACK
It's actually still quite early in the morning, about six o'clock. So now, both couples are arguing over the details of the marriage, trying to piece together the previous night's events. They have little clues like the sindoor, the rings, the marriage certificates, the mangalsutra, and their random memory flashes of the entire night. After they have established how the evening occurred, they seem to be more interested in arguing about how to tell their friends and family they just happened to get really wasted and married.
About an hour later, Josh and Aaliya stand in front of the Khanna House and Prem and Mukti in front of the Sharma House. Angad comes down stairs and sees Josh and Aaliya in front of him, he says, "Josh man yahan kya kare ho, andar aao… Aaliya why do you have sindoor in your… OH MY GOD!!! NNN...NE...NEEV!! AAA…AN…ANJU!!!" Anjali and Neev run downstairs and see Josh and Aaliya with wedding rings and Aaliya has sindoor and a mangulsutra around her neck. Anjali and Neev scream, "OH MY GOD!!! YOU GUYS GOT MARRIED!!! …WITHOUT US?" Josh rubs the back of his neck awkwardly while Aaliya fidgets with her hands as Josh says, "Umm…yea!" Angad, Anjali, and Neev yank them into the living room and bombard them with questions as Josh and Aaliya awkwardly reply. Angad yells to Josh, "WHAT THE HELL MAN?? WHAT HAPPENED TO (mimicking Josh) today is your FINAL day of freedom, your last breath of free air, your last night as a bachelour… YOU MADE IT SOUND SO HORRIBLE AND YOU GET MARRIED YOURSELF?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!!" Aaliya smacks Josh for saying all that about marriage to Angad. Josh gets up and starts apologizing, "Angad yaar I'm sorry… what can I do to make it up to you, I will do anything?" Angad cocks his eyebrow and repeats, "Anything?" Josh assures him, "Angad anything!" Angad turns to Neev and Anjali smirking, then back to Josh and Aaliya simply stating, "Okay well buddy TODAY YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED WITH US!!" Josh and Aaliya look at each other shocked and say, "But we already…" Neev interrtupts, "Dude you said anything!!" Anjali decides to make them feel guilty by sobbing on Neev, "I wanted to see you guys get married aaliya!! You can't take that right away from me!!" Josh and Aaliya sigh and run out the door yelling, "FINE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL OUR PARENTS!! WE HAVE TO GO SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES!! SEE YA!!" Angad, Anjali, and Neev laugh and go inform their parents about the change in plans.
In the Sharma House, Kavya opens the door sleepily without looking at them he asks, "Prem, Mukti it's 7 in the morning… what are you guys doing here so early? Anyways come in!" Kavya moves and starts rubbing his eyes and notices Prem and Mukti have not moved an inch. Kavya sniggers seeing Mukti and Prem wearing wedding rings as if it's a joke. Kavya laughs, "Dude why are you guys wearing rings… IS THAT SINDOOR IN YOUR MAANG MUKTI??" Prem and Mukti nod and Kavya gets so mad he starts chasing Prem around the house yelling, "YOU GOT MARRIED??!!". All that ruckus wakes up Kripa and Prachi, who stand outside their room as Prem rushes past them. Kripa and Prachi look at each other like Prem is nuts to be running around their house this early in the morning. Kripa and Prachi don't even have to question Prem's motive since a second later they see Kavya rushing past them as well. Kripa and Prachi look towards each other and then dart after Kavya to find out why he is chasing Prem. Prem stops running as he reaches back to Mukti and hides behind her yelling, "YOU CAN'T HIT A GIRL!! PLUS SHE'S MY WIFE!! DOUBLE NEGATIVE SO HAH!!" Kavya stands there while Kripa and Prachi register Prem's words and yell, "WHAT?? YOU TWO GOT MARRIED? HOW? WHEN? WHERE? AND WHY WEREN'T WE THERE?" Prem and Mukti look at them apologetically. Kavya gives them the same ultimatium as Angad did to Josh and Aaliya. Prem and Mukti gladly accept and rush out the door to get wedding clothes. Kavya, Kripa, and Prachi sigh deciding to go tell their parents about the change in plans.
When Dilip, Naina, Surya, and Gayatri converse they find out that they have a sum of five couples who are to get married today. They all laugh over their children and their dear friends and decide to continue preparations for the wedding. Today of course happens to be a big day for everyone!
