CHECKS & BALANCES - Page 6

Khushi: jiji, since when have you started hiding from me?

Payal: what am I hiding?

Khushi: don't tell lies. You are hiding.

Payal: that is what I am asking, what am I hiding?

Khushi: some boy. You are dating someone. Whom? Tell me.

Payal's POV

I can't tell Khushi. She is a sanka devi.

Either she will be extremely happy and her raptures of joy will be heard by bua ji and then..i will be gone! Or she will not like him, telling stuff that we are middle class people and all and she will argue and her squabbling loud voice, and for sure I will never get to see his face again. No. I will not tell her.

Khushi: ji.. ..ji..e..e..e !!!

Madhumati aka buaji entered hearing Khushi's screams.

Madhumati: why are you shouting titaliya?

Khushi: see..here..bua ji..jiji has gone dumb. She is hiding that she is..

Payal's cell ringed and Khushi couldn't complete her sentence.

Payal hurriedly picked up her cell and went to balcony.

Madhumati murmured "SANKA DEVI" and went away.

But, Khushi is Khushi.

She tip toed to balcony to hear what Payal was talking and most importantly whom. She had been noticing this for quite a couple of days.

Khushi's POV

Payal is behaving quite queer.

Coming home late.

Forgetting to add salt in salads..

Last night was heights!!

She added salt instead of sugar in kheer.

Yuck..

It tasted..yeww..

Investigation karne ki padegi.

(hmm..investigation is needed)

*****

Raizada Mansion

A same verbal fight was happening between Arnav and Akash.

Though Arnav doesnot behave typically like Khushi..but he has his own ways to know.

Khushi was unsuccessful..but as it is ASR aka Arnav Singh Raizada..he very well knew how to pull the strings and especially of Akash's.

Arnav had noticed his brother has been stammering in meetings and doing mistakes in making tenders and applications for deals.

Arnav was not sure about Akash till yesternight.

But when his famous mamiji aka Manorama started the topic of Akash's marriage..Akash literally protested and to avoid further investigative questions he left without completely his dinner.

Till date, Akash had never behaved so strange. Something is fishy.

But, who is the girl?

Any one from AR group?

Any model?

Any employee?

Arnav thought of giving a try.

For two days he observed Akash.

Akash had talked a bit informally with only 3 women.

1. Jenny
2. Lavanya
3. Sheetal

Arnav thought of talking to Akash this Sunday.

*****

Khushi made a long list.

Her list consisted of all men with whom Payal interacted.

She had wrote many names and scribbled most of them.

Khushi's list:

Ramu (milkman)

Bankelal (shopkeeper)

Happyji (mechanic)

newspaperwala

Rohan (grade 12)

Sonu ( grade 12)

Pujari (mandir)

Khushi's POV

Then who can it be?

Bauji's friend?

No..no..she won't be like that. She is not Lolita.

Any of our friends' relative?

Khushi started her mental match.

Sarita doesn't have any relative who is a bachelor.

As per as I know her..Jiji won't like a second-hand sample.

Preeto's cousins are too small.

Khushi had given up.

Suddenly her brain got lightened up!

Khushi started jumping on the bed,

Yes..yes..yesss.. Jiji's phone!!

She planned to hijack her jiji's cell at late night..when everybody will be sleeping..she will be in her mission!! KKG 007!

*****

Arnav saw Akash gazing at his laptop in admiration.

Arnav's POV

It must be Lavanya. Who can be else.

These two had been growing intimate day by day. I need to know. But it will be very awkward to ask Lav suddenly, in case if it is only friendship.

Arnav coughed.

Akash became alert and came back from his dreamland.

Arnav: what were you gazing bhai?

Akash: umm..nothing..nothing..

Arnav: that's upto you..don't tell.

Akash: well,suddenly you are here?

Arnav: oh..yeah..Lav is going to Nainital for the photoshoot, so..

Akash: what? when? She never told me..

Arnav: why? Is she your girlfriend..that she will inform you

Akash: bhai..ee..!! She is NK's not mine.

Arnav: What the!!! NK and Lav?

Akash: shit..bhai..don't tell anyone now. Lav asked me to keep secret, that's why I didn't tell you.

Arnav felt himself as jackass!!

Arnav: but I thought you and Lav?

Akash: no bhai never.

Arnav left the room..frustrated..

How will he know now?

Yess..he will check his phone when Akash will be busy.

But our poor Arnie!!

Akash was not that dumbo!!

He has deleted all messages and calls!!

It looked as if it was a brand new phone!!

But he is Arnav Singh Raizada!!

How can it be that Arnav Singh Raizada will not get some idea??

Gotcha!! He will divert Akash's all calls in his number for tonight.

*****

So how is it buddies??

Hope it is not awful!!!

Khushi with Payal's phone and Arnav to divert Akash's phone calls!!

Who will call first???

Who would be on the other end of the call???

How will be the conversation???
