I liked how Khushi told soni about Arnav and their phone conversation was awesome , Arnav was so worried , that he just came straight to khurana mansion to get Khushi !!
Actually I haven't seen the movie chameli of kareena so I don't know the songs , I ysually watch those movies that people tell me to watch , and yes the dinner was awesome , had so much fun , but a lot of people kept on pudding cz the stampede was so crowded and I was like almost about to freaking shout Ahah ,
Thanks for the pm and do continue soon <3
And and good Luck with your exams (:

Thanks for the review!

Yes, Geet and Khushi are so similar! No wonder they became so good friends!

Yes, Wasn't Maaneet clothes scene cute and funny? I loved writing it!

I am so happy that you liked the Geet and Khushi scenes!

After reading your review, even I am feeling bad for Arnav waiting for his maashooka!

Hey Maashooka is not a vulgar word as far as I know! Maashooka means lover, right!

Oh Well! Even my urdu is not that great!

Wasn't Arnav Soni convo funny? It is my fav.

I can actually imagine Geet shouting on the phone while Arnav looking shocked and shouting 'What the!'

Chameli movie is sort of vulgar to my standards and the main plot is kind of boring but that song and Sajna Ve Sajna are superb songs! Loved them!

One main disadvantage of being jobless by that I mean no exams, no college, no tension is that my mind goes overdrive and like a hawk every few minutes I keep refreshing the page hoping against hope that I would get to read some updates and though by now I realised that you'll update it when it's past 10 IST, still I try to stalk wishing that you'd update.

In true ASRish style 'Damn It! I'm in so love with her(FF)!!' :D

CHAPTER 36. I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU

Place - Khurana Mansion

It was once again a beautiful Sunday morning and Maan wandered into the house after a beautiful walk in the garden. The garden had reminded him of the water fight he and Soni had and the night of the rain when Soni stood in the rain and he had hugged her. He was totally wrapped up in the moments he spent with Soni. How beautiful the world seems in love! Maan mused as he walked towards his room. He heard someone speak in a low voice. He shrugged and walked off. He was not interested in someone else's conversation. But he stopped in his tracks again as he heard his name whispered somewhere. He looked around and noticed NT's room door ajar. NT and Dadima had returned yesterday night itself. Generally, Maan ignored when people spoke about him but he was sure that the whisperer was none other than his sweet Soni. So, Maan being a lover boy decided to investigate. He walked towards the room and peeped through the gap made by the slightly opened door.

NT and Soni were sitting on the bed looking through a book. Maan tried to look at the book but could not see it properly. Suddenly, NT moved the book a bit and the cover shined. Maan immediately recognized the book. It was an album which NT had made in college days. It contained only NT and Dev's photos that also as a couple. Very rarely Maan or Annie featured in one of the photos. The album had a shiny cover which Maan could recognize anywhere. NT had the habit of showing it to anyone who was available and it seemed poor Soni was her victim for today. Maan shook his head and turned to go away when he heard NT speaking, "Hum Samajh Sakte Hain, Soni! Par aap yeh bhi toh sochiye ki jab aap mile honge tab aap dono ko tasweer kheechne ka mauka na mila ho!", Nt told Soni. Maan raised an eyebrow. What are they talking about? He inched closer only to hear Soni's response, "Phir bhi NT Di! Chalo Maan ke paas hum dono ka saath mein koi photo nahi hai par mera ek toh photo unke paas hona chaahiye na! After all mujhse pyaar karne ka daava karte hain woh! Chalo Chaddho! Par unke paas unke wallet mein toh meri tasweer honi chaahiye, right?" Maan nodded to himself. She is right! Ok! So, that was the problem! Don't worry! Tum kuch chaaho aur main na doon, not possible! Future Mrs. Khurana, aapka khwaayish sar aakhon par!

It was late afternoon when Dev entered the house shouting for NT and Soni to join him on the lawn. Surprised by the call NT and Soni, who were chatting with Dadima about the Golden Temple, came out of their room only for Dev to enter the room and ask Dadima to join them. The three ladies, curious by now, followed Dev to the lawn only to come across a professional photographer along with all of his equipments arranged on the lawn ready to take some photos. Maan was also standing there waiting for them. Dev explained how Maan had seen NT and Soni go through the album and got the idea to have a family photo session as the last time they had a family photo was when they were kids and their parents were alive. Dadima went misty eyed at Maan's thoughtfulness and commented, "Kaash Annie aur Arjun bhi yahaan hote." Soni leaned towards NT, "Yeh Annie aur Arjun kaun hain?" NT smiled at her, "Annie humaari aur aapki nanad hai, Dev aur Maan ki choti behen. Aur Arjun humaare Veerji hain aur Annie ke pati bhi. Dono Mumbai mein rehte hain." Soni nodded as she learned more about Khurana family.

NT was in her element today deciding what kind of pictures to be taken and who would stand and pose in which manner. Maan and Dev, knowing her nature, allowed her to do it. Maan smirked. This is what he wanted! He knew that if he suggested family photos NT would get into planning the position and types of photos. He was banking on the fact that NT would remember her morning discussion with Soni and would get both him and Soni together for some photos. Hmmm….. The things we do for our love! Maan mused.

NT first dragged Dadima and made her sit in the chair and made Maan and Dev stand behind her for the first photo. After the photo was taken, she dragged Soni with her and made her stand by Maan while NT herself stood by Dev. Next, Dadima demanded a photo with her bahus. She also demanded a photo of both the couples in one picture. After that, NT had Dadima sit in the chair and get a solo photo to hang in the main hall. Soon, Dadima got tired and went to rest claiming that she had yet to recover from the trip taken yesterday. Next up were solo photos of Maan, Dev, NT and Soni. NT ordered the photographer to print and frame all the photos in a life size portrait. After that, NT dragged Dev with her and they took many photos as a couple, with Dev taking a chance to flirt and romance with his wife. Soni sat on the swing observing and enjoying them and soon Maan joined her. They sat by smiling and commenting on NT and Dev's poses. After their couple poses, NT chose one picture for a life size portrait to be hanged in their room and remaining were to be printed in smaller sizes which could be framed and hanged on the walls.

NT looked around for Soni when she saw Maan and Soni sitting on the swing. She smirked as she remembered the morning discussion. She walked towards them and spoke, "Ab baari Veerji aur Soni ki hai." While Soni blushed, Maan smirked. Bang on the target! Maan, you are too good! He got up and lent his hand to Soni. Soni looked at him in surprise and shyly gave her hand to him. NT made Soni sit on the chair with Maan standing behind her. After that picture was taken, she asked Maan and Soni to stand beside each other. While Soni blushed and shied, Maan boldly placed his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. So the picture was taken, with Maan looking at the camera with a smirk while Soni was looking at him with surprised expression. Soon, NT made them give various poses which lead to Maan having a smirk on his face and Soni having a red face in most of the pictures. As soon as the photo session was over, Soni ran towards her room and only emerged for the dinner. Even during dinner while Maan kept on staring at her and smirking, Soni would shyly look at him and look away with a blush and smile on her face.

Place - Buaji's house at Laxminagar

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and Khushi decided to make the most out of it by sleeping soundly. But her sweet dreams, in which she saw herself dancing with Arnav, were broken by a phone call. She had very sweetly configured her phone so that whenever Arnav called instead of 'Chalo Maiyya Ke Bhavan' the ringtone would be 'Main Pareshaan Pareshaan'. Hence, when her phone sang 'Main Pareshaan', she woke up from her dreams in shock and looked at her phone. She screwed her face in concentration as she thought of the reason for Arnav to call her in the afternoon. Suddenly, it struck her. Today was a Sunday! She really felt like screaming a 'NAHHHIII!' like those typical filmy heroines. Main Pareshaan Pareshaan Pareshaan Pareshaan! Here comes the day she loved in her school days but hated these days as this was the day Arnavji would waltz into her life, create a problem and go away leaving her with a mess and a Buaji who thought her boss overworked her. Agar Buaji ko pata chala ki hum Office nahi Arnavji se milne jaate hain toh woh toh Nandkishore kehte kehte humein Lucknow bhijjwa dengi. Hey Devi Maiyya! Ab aap hi bataao hum iss Arnavji naam ke Rakshas ka kya karein?

Khushi was brought out of her thoughts by her ringing phone. She gulped and picked it up, "Hello Arnavji?" Her voice nearly cracked due to fear. "Afreen, main tumhaara wait kar raha hoon." And her Arnavji disconnected the call leaving her fuming and scared; fuming because Arnavji ordered her instead of requesting and scared because she did not know how Buaji would handle her going out this time. She sighed. Chalo Khushi bitiya! Lag jaao bahaane banaane mein! After lying to her Buaji that she was going out to Office as her boss wanted an important file which only she knew where it was kept and hearing her Buaji say 'Haayre Nandkisore!' atleast ten times she walked off to meet her Arnavji!

It was a wonderful afternoon and Arnav waited for his Afreen to arrive. He knew she would be annoyed to meet him on a Sunday so he had bought a gift for her and hoped she liked it. Soon, he saw his Afreen arrive and he smirked as she fumed and ranted at her Devi Maiyya. What was she complaining about now? Arnav wondered. Then, it struck him. He had called her and she must have lied to her Buaji! He sighed. She must be very annoyed at him now. He hoped his gift would be enough to appease her. It was not as if he could stop himself from calling her to meet him. He loved her so much that not seeing her even once in a day seemed painful. As soon as she reached him and opened her mouth to question him, he wordlessly bent into his car, pulled out the gift and handed it to her with hope that she would be happy with his gift.

Khushi looked at the gift and at the idiot named Arnav standing in front of her. She wanted to either scratch her head or break his head. Har Sunday yeh aate hain, humein musibat mein daalte hain aur khushi khushi humein fasaa ke chale jaate hain. She looked at the gift in her hand and glared at him again. Her dear Arnavji had decided to gift her with bangles. Now don't take her wrong, she loved bangles. Wasn't she the one who said that to Arnav in the mela? The reason why she was annoyed at Arnav was because the Rakshas bought her a whole basket full of bangles which must have cost him atleast 1000Rs. Now, again don't get her wrong. This kind of gesture touched her heart but what annoyed her was her Arnavji did not even think once as to how she would explain this gift to her Buaji. Ab hum in choodiyon ko buaji ke nazar se bachaake ke ghar ke andar kaise lejaayenge? Aur buaji ko bataayenge kya? Ki humaare dost ko mood aaya toh humaare liye choodiyon ki tokri khareed di! Buaji humein maar daalengi. Hey Devi Maiyya! Hey Soni ke Babaji! Inhein koi samjhaaye ki aisi harkat karna bandh karde! She bit her lip. Sab iss Sunday ki galti hai. Yeh Sunday hi nahi hona chaahiye! Na rahega baans naa bajegi baansuri!

Arnav was shocked when his Afreen without saying a word to him walked off or rather stomped off with the basket of bangles in her hand. Arnav sighed. I guess I will have to try something else to appease her. He drove off from there disappointed.

It was half an hour later when Khushi entered her house with the basket filled with bangles. Unfortunately for her, her Buaji spotted her gift and started blasting her with her standard 'Haayre Nandkisore!' Khushi sighed and prepared herself to lie. She told her Buaji that her boss had decided to give all the staff bonus and Khushi decided to buy herself choodiyaan from them as she loved them. This led to Buaji belt out another of her favorite line, "Arre Oh Sanka Devi! Tumka paglaayi gayi ho ka?" Khushi just tuned her Buaji out and went into her room. Once she reached her room, she sighed happily. Her Aranvji had got her basket full of choodiyaan just because she once mentioned she liked them. Arnavji, aapne humein aaj kitna khush kiya aap nahi jaante! Khusji lied on the bed and smiled dreamily as her mind filled with daydreams of her Arnavji. Haaye!

Place - Khurana Mansion

It was early Monday morning when Maan was called into Dadima's room. He entered to see Soni sitting by her in a red salwa kameez which he had selected for her. She had yet to come into his room to tie his tie but routinely selected his clothes for him. His Dadima made him sit by her and told him, "Maan Bete, Soni humein bata rahi thi ki woh aaj kal ghar par baithe baithe bore ho jaati hain." Maan looked at Soni for confirmation but Soni was looking at Dadima. Maan spoke, "Theek hain. Main ise aaj shaam ko Office se aane ke baad park ghuma laata hoon." Dadima fought the urge to smack her forehead. Arre! Koi mere pote ko romance karna sikhaao! She spoke up, "Nahi Maan Bete! Is baar aap park nahi long drive pe jaao! Hum yahi chaahte hain." Maan raised an eyebrow as he got the hint of what Dadima expected from him. He smirked and replied, "Ji Dadi, jaisa aap chaahein." Soni blushed while Dadima smiled victoriously.

It was in the evening when Maan reached home and found Soni dressed in his favorite white color. She had chosen an Anarkali today and Maan's heartbeats refused to slow down as he stared at her. Soni looked away from his intense stare while Dadima smiled at them sweetly. She urged the couple to get going and controlled the urge to jump around at her plan's succession. Yes, Savitri! Aap abhi bhi tez dimaag waali hain!

As soon as they sat in the car, it struck Soni that she was alone with Maan in the car. Maan started the car and they drove off. Soni started feeling shy and could not speak at all. Maan was also feeling very awkward as he did not know what to say. Yeh bol kyon nahi rahi hai? Varna haar waqt to iska bak-bak chaalu rehta hai. Aaj kya hua? Maan wondered. Yeh kuch bolte kyon nahi hai? Kuch noliye na Maan! Soni pleaded mentally but unfortunately Maan was not a mind reader and hence, an awkward silence descended in the car.

Place - Outside KC

As Khushi sat in the car, Arnav drove off. After talking non-stop about her day, during which Arnav sighed as he realized that his Afreen was not annoyed at him anymore, Khushi realized that they were nowhere near Laxminagar. Before she could ask Arnav about it, they reached a secluded area. Arnav walked out of the car without saying a word and Khushi, perplexed by his behavior, got down and followed him to the back of the car. She looked around as she noticed the place. They were in a secluded area surrounded by trees and sky was twinkling with stars today. She smiled as she noticed the stars representing her parents. She realized that they were in the outskirts of Dilli. Any other girl would be scared to be in a secluded area with a guy but Khushi was not. She trusted her Arnavji more than she trusted herself.

As Khushi was looking up she did not notice Arnav remove something from the car. As she turned around, she noticed Arnav mounting something on a tripod. Her face screwed in confusion but Arnav smiled at her and beckoned her closer. As she walked closer Arnav spoke, "This is a telescope. You know what is telescope, right?" Khushi nodded her head. She had read about telescope in school but never seen one. She smiled and looked at the telescope closer. She examined it but did not touch it. Arnav caught her hand and made her touch it. Arnav felt giddy at the expression of wonder on her face. He positioned her in front of it and motioned her to look through it. She looked through it in excitement and then excitedly looked at him. He spoke, "Tum un taaron ko apni amma bauji maanti hona. Isse tum unhein aur paas se dekh sakti ho." Khushi went misty eyed at his words and hugged him happily. Arnavji aap bahut achche insaan ho! Khushi smiled and went back to staring at her parents through the telescope.

After sometime, Khushi looked away from the sky and looked at Arnav. "Waise aapne kabhi apne amma buaji ke baare mein kuch nahi bataaya?" Arnav sighed as the vision of his mother smiling and then falling in the fire flashed through his brain. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath willing those memories to go away. "Ma ab is duniya mein nahi hai." He sighed and spoke, "But I miss her a lot." "Aur aapke buaji?" "Mere baap ke baare mein kabhi mat poochna.", Arnav roared at her. She flinched and Arnav calmed himself down. "Please!", he said in a whisper. She went back to looking through the telescope. Suddenly, she squealed, "Arnavji dekhiye, jaldi dekhiye!" He looked at her in shock and looked through the telescope. Seeing nothing special, he looked at her questioningly. "What?" "Arre Arnavji! Upar dekhiye!" Arnav looked up at the sky. "Wahaan humaare amma buaji ke saath mein ek aur taara chamak raha hai. Dekhiye, aapki amma aapko dekhkar chamak rahi hai. Woh khush hai aapko dekhkar haina!" Arnav was touched at her words. He slowly hugged her while she looked confused. He pulled away and smiled at her sweetly. He went back to the car to put the telescope away and Khushi stood there staring at the sky. He sat in the car and stared at Khushi.

Suddenly, Khushi came towards him, "Arnavji, radio lagaayiye na! Humein gaana sunna hai!" "What the!" Arnav shook his head and put on the radio. Khushi extended her hand into the car and increased the volume. She smiled at him mischievously. She went to the car's front and stared at the sky as notes of guitar filled the air.

Ni Sa Sa Sa Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Re Re Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Sa Sa Sa Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Re Re Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

Khushi looked at Arnav and noticed him staring.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Khushi smiled at him and went back to star gazing.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Arnav got out of the car.

Dilruba Yeh Bata

Kya Karoon Tere Siva

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Arnav went and stood beside her.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Ni Sa Sa Sa Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Re Re Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Sa Sa Sa Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Re Re Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

He picked her up and started spinning. She started laughing as she hooked her hands around his neck.

Ni Sa Ga Re Ni Sa Dha Ni

Pa Dha Ma Pa Dha Ma Pa Ni Ni Ni Dha Ni Ni Sa

He stopped spinning and placed her on the bonnet of his car.

Dasne Lagi Hai Mujhe Kyon Yeh Yanhaaiyaan

Har Pal Main Dekhoon Bas Teri Parchaaiyaan

He leaned closer to her and pushed back her hair from her face. She closed her eyes at his touch.

Rab Di Kasam Main Toh Jaana Tere Pyaar Mein

Bhale Mar Jaaoon Par Sahoon Na Judaaiyaan

He looked at her lips. He leaned closer.

Jaaneja Meherbaan Bin Tere Jaaoon Kahaan

He was jerked out of his daydream by a pat on his shoulder. He looked to see Khushi sitting beside him.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

"Ghar chale, Arnavji!" Arnav nodded at her in shock and started the car.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

He looked at her and shook his head. He and his over imaginative brain!

Dilruba Yeh Bata Kya Karoon Tere Siva

But he promised himself, one day he would convert all of his daydreams into reality.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Place - Maan's Car

Soni looked at Maan and Maan looked at her; both looked away. Long drive ka saara mazaa kirkira kardiya Soni tu ne! Kuch toh baat karti! Itna sharmaayegi toh tera kya hoga! Kuch toh bol! Kuch toh kar! Yeh Maan bhi kuch nahi kehte! She looked at Maan and huffed as she looked away. She looked at the radio as an idea came into her head. She put on the radio. As the notes of harmonium filled the air, Maan glanced at her.

Ni Sa Ga Sa

Ga Ma Pa Ni Pa

Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re

Sa Sa Sa Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

Ni Sa Ga Re Ni Ni Ni Ni

Ni Re Re Re Ni Sa Sa Sa

Maan looked at Soni's hand lying on the gear. Perfect! He slowly kept his hand on hers.

Khaana Nahi Peena Nahi Tere Intezaar Mein

Rog Yeh Anokha Mila Mujhe Tere Pyaar Mein

Soni looked at him in shock. When he smiled at her, she looked away shyly.

Tadpoon Main Tere Bin Ghadi Ghadi Palchhin

Uljha Ke Chhoda Tu Ne Isi Rozgaar Bin

Maan felt bold at her shyness and left her hand. She looked at him confusedly.

Tu Bata Jaaneja

Vaasta Pyaar Ka

Maan slowly put his left hand around her shoulder. He tightened his grip on her right shoulder and she blushed at his boldness.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

She looked at him, he smiled at her.

Dilruba Yeh Bata Kya Karoon Tere Siva

He pulled her closer and hugged her to his body. She smiled into his shirt.

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

She burrowed her face into his shoulder and Maan kissed her head as he continued driving.

Main Deewana Ho Gaya

Ho Deewana Ho Gaya

Haan Deewana…..

Main Toh Tere Pyaar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya

P.S. This song is sung by Kailash Kher but don't know the album's name. It is one of my favorite songs but Dilruba and Teri Deewani are from the same album.

P.P.S Again, no one could guess the song. I feel so sad. Better luck next time!

I don't know why but I feel as if this chapter is not upto the mark!

What do you think? How was it?
