SS : Simply Silly!
Chapter 1 :
"Crazy Khushi", remarked NK. My eyes popped out when I heard her name.
She is also Khushi! *Sigh*
Well, Hi! I am Arnav. Unfortunately, Arnav Singh Raizada. Unfortunately? Here's the dreadful reason. My mom and my sister, Babli..are a big fan of Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?
It was a peaceful night of June 2011. Mom retired from her kitchen work to join in for dinner. Babli, my 7yr old sis then, came running out of her room in a wired powerpuff girls costume and switched on T.V to watch something. And, that's when my unfortunate time began. While flipping through channel, that stupid remote stopped working as soon as channel starplus came.
"W..wait Babli!", my mom instructed. She then glared at television and her mouth drop open. My dad, who is now a retired military man, saw her like this and turned towards the T.V.
"Devyani! You are drooling over that man! You are married to me. You have 2 children and still you are..", my dad said in quiet a melodramatic way!
My mom didn't respond. Suddenly, she shouted...
"ARNAV!!!!!! He looks like YOU!", almost spilling out soup out of my mouth. I coughed and looked at the Television.
No! He didn't look like me.
Suddenly, Babli, who was standing like a statue spoke..
"No mom, He doesn't look like Bhai.."
Ah! My cutie, sweetpie sissy. She know that her brother is far better than that guy.
She continued.." He looks much hotter and cuter that bhai"
😳 She was a spoilt little kid, without any brains and no sense of judgement!😡
To add more to my bad luck...that guy spoke his name - "Arnav Singh Raizada". Babli and mom together turned their face towards me with a weird kind of smile and twinkling eyes.
"What??", I said. Both looked towards each other, grinned a bit more and again concentrated back on television. I looked towards dad, who was busy with the cabbage, which struck between his teeth. I sighed, and preferred to concentrate on soup, like dad.
Since that day, Babli and mom were a big fan of that show. That time we were living in Mumbai and I was studying in Floral college. Weird name!🤔 Dad got a transfer and we came and settled in Delhi. After somedays, he got retired, still I can't understand the need of transfer when he had decided to retire!🥱
NK aka Nandkishore, is my neighbour and my first Delhi friend. I remember the day I met this silly thing.
As I was carrying heavy cartons inside my house, I saw someone sneaking through the bush. As soon as I pass by that bush, it hid himself again. Quiet irritated and doubting him to be a thief, I quietly kept the carton aside, picked up a stick.
I went towards the bush and like a tarzan, shouted..
"AAA" Suddenly, that being came out of hiding and quickly held my hands.
"What the hell are you doing??", he shouted.
"I should ask this question!", I shouted back. NK's frown changed into embarrassed look and in sheepish tone he said..
"I was watching you!"
My eyes popped out.
"Why?", I whispered. He looked at me "shyly"😕. I got scared looking at his expression.
He then said, " Hhehe...I was just looking at your...looking at your...Slippers"
"Excuse me?" I replied.
"Ya! I love them. From where did you buy it?", he asked.
I was speechless. What kind of guy he is. Weird. He didn't ask my name and was asking name of my slipper's company! Another weird person added to my list after mom and Babli. He suddenly remembered...
"Oh! Well, I am Nandkishore aka NK and now your neighbour!😃", he took my hand in his and shook it really hard. I still remember, my hand was paining the whole day!🤔
After that, my family became friends with his family. He told us about his college and dad decided to put me here...The Bhavan's college.
Babli became really fond of him. Of course, mad people are fond of mad only. Yesterday night, NK dropped in a very very wrong time. It was 8pm and as usual mom and Babli were struck to TV. He came and joined them and that' when that stupid Babli spoke..
"NK bhai...now you will see Arnav bhai on screen."
"Really??!!", Nk said in excited tone.
And when THAT Arnav came and spoke his name...NK exchanged the same look that Babli and mom did on the very first day of this show.
"No Babli! He doesn't look like Arnav at all!"
Oh! My best Pal NK. Finally I got a person who thinks I look better than that guy. He stood from my chair and ran towards him to give him a back hug.
He then continued.. " That guy looks better than Arnav!"
That moment I tried to stop myself and lost my balance...landing on Dad's soup which he was drinking with full concentration and spilled it all over him.
I don't understand why my family drink so much of soup??!!
Dad shirt was drenched with cabbage soup and gave me a very very undefinable anger-kind of look. I, without wasting a single second ran towards and closed it behind. While Babli and mom didn't even glance back to see what actually occurred.
Morning came by and came the very first day of my college. I bathed quickly and got ready. I raced downstairs, while, as usual, my dad was busy with his newspaper. I ate my breakfast and was about to go when my mom called out..
"ARNAV..!!"
I looked back. From the temple I saw a figure, draped in grey saare came my mom with pooja thali in her hand. I could here K3G music at the background. Then, I realised that Babli had switched on the deck on my mom's instruction. She slowly came towards me and smiled.
She then did Aarti...and in a quiet melodramatic way said...
"All the best Chotte! Do well! Make your mom and dad proud of you!"
I bent down to touch her feet and she again said," God bless!" Babli came running towards me and asked me to bend down.
My cute lil sis. She wanted to wish his Bhai a good luck. I bent down and pulled her cheeks. She then said..
"May you get your Khushi soon!"
W.h.a.t kinnd of wiishh was thaatt??😳
As ever she broke my expectation. Then, I was again turned to go my mom said.."Chotte! Eat this sugar and curd..your day will go good."
"No no mom...I wont!", I said while turning towards her. She knew, I won't eat. So, as soon as I turned towards her she forced it inside my mouth. Only I know, how I gulped that down!
I waved them goodbye and with NK came to the college. He told me the wrong time and hence we reached late...less late than this Khushi madam..so, I didn't get time to meet anyone.
I think she was really talking to me...while she lied there on floor. But, she said she didn't. I am dreaming then?
As soon as I heard her name from NK, I looked at her and found her looking at me. As soon as she noticed me staring, her face changed into 3 O's
2 eyes 1 O-shaped mouth.
And she quickly looked away.
Weird!
