She slipped down the ring in his finger as Padma provided her taking out form the box... Her eyes were on his fingers only whereas his gaze was on her face... Everyone started clapping as Shilpa was done with her part of the job and it was finally Armaan's task which according to him he has already done before... He took her left hand in his right one and slipping his palm under her hers, took away the ring from Annanya and still looking at her face whose expression were too enjoyable for him he slipped the ring half way in her ring finger and stopped which made her look at his face.. "Ab nahi utaro gi!! Right??" He whispered with a grin on his face making her blush more and finally he slipped down the ring properly in her finger...
They were engaged! they were finally done with that beautiful ritual and then started taking every ones blessings who were so happy for them...
Later, after few minutes Shilpa was seen sitting on a 4 seated sofa kept on a side which was beautifully decorated where there other rituals were about to take place...
"Armaan!!" Tanya called out his name which made him turn towards her... "Jee??" He asked... "Chalo... tum bhi chal k betho wahan!!" Tanya directed him towards the sofa... "No ways!! Maine Kartik ki sagai mein dekha tha kya hua tha uske saath wahan! Mujhe namoona dikhne ka koi shawk nahi... main nahi ja k bethne wala itni deir..." Armaan argued... "Arre??? Rasam hoti hai yeh... tumhari faaltu fund ki baatein nahi chalne wali yahan pe..." Tanya frowned at him... "Angoothi pehna di naa meine??? baat khatam!! hogai sagai!! Ab yeh fuzul ki cheezon se mujhe door rakhein!!" He almost pleaded... "Armaan!! log hain yahan! tum aisa nahi kar sakte ho!!" Tanya glared at him... "Log hain to kya namoona ban jaoon mein??" He frowned... "Haan!!" Tanya said between her teeth and dragged him away towards Shilpa...
"Ufff!!!" He let out deep breath and sat down beside her...
"Yeh baaat!!!" Rahul literally started laughing seeing Armaan doing what he hated the most... "Arre!! phir kabhi aisa mauqa milega Armaan ko aise dekhne ka?? nahi!!!" Sid chuckled and gave hig five to Rahul after which they immediately asked the camera man to come and take photographs...
Not just one but a bunch of photgraphs were taken with all cousins, family, seperate Armaan Shilpa and what not... The teasing comments and no replies from Armaan was a wonderful thing to experience and this was the perfect occassion so everyone thought to make a good use of it...
"So??? how was it??" Aliya teased Armaan from the back... "Its time!!" Armaan pressed his lips together...
"Time??? what time??" Aliya passed a confused look to Armaan...
"For me to get up!!" Saying so he actually got up... "Arre betho tum!! Abhi to koi rasam bhi start nahi hui hai!!" Annaya came up to him seeing him getting up... "Bohat hogay!! Yahan koi rasam wasam nahi hone wali!!! yahan sirf aur sirf mere patience ka test le rahe hain aap log!!" He said between his teeth...
"Bakwaas nahi karo... beth jao!!" Annanya again asked him to sit...
"Mom! mein bhaag jaoonga!!" He warned...
"Tum ek ghanta chup chaap nahi beth sakte??? bagair koi behas kiye hue??" Annanya arched her eyebrow... "Aap log yeh sab kaam jaldi nahi nipta sakte???" He questioned back...
"Fine!! bus kar rahe hain shuru!!" Annanya said and almost pushed him back to sit again...
"Tumhe garmi nahi lag rahi??" He whispered to Shilpa who was sitting next to him, actually very close to him...
"Lag rahi hai!! lekin main appki tarah uth k nahi ja sakti!!" She passed a light side smile to him... She was enjoying Armaan's moves... "Aur mein tumhari tarah betha nahi reh sakta!!" He shook his head...
...
Putting a heavy embroidery dupatta over Shilpa's head, Annanya started with the rituals and asked Armaan to hold it from a side to avoid it slip from her head again and again...
"Hilarious!! Abhi kisi aur ko yeh sab karte dekhta to mein khud uska mazak bana raha hota!! yahan ab mera bane gaa!!" He thought and instead of holding it and giving chance to others to tease him, he adjusted his shoulder in a way that her the corner of her dupatta came in between not allowing it to slip again...
Armaan's dadi made Shilpa wear a kangan and Shashank made him wear a silver watch after taking off the one he was wearing and then the rest was huge as they started receiving gifts and other things...
"Meri dieting ki aisi ki tesi kar di!!" Shilpa thought as alot of elder ladies who were gifting her shagun were making her eat a peice of sweet...
They both took a sigh of relief as everything ended and the dinner started... "Mujhe bhook nahi hai!! bohat kha chuka mein!!" Armaan answered straight when he was asked to take dinner...
"Mujhse khane k baare mein baat nahi karna waran yahin kuch kar dungi tumhara!!" Shilpa warned Muskaan... "Tumhari saari dieting ka to hashar nashar hogaya shilpa!!" Muskaan giggled... "Seriously!!!" Shilpa made a face getting annoyed...
"Aur Armaan?? Bhaag k shaadi karne ka plan mazbooti pakar raha hai???" Sid winked at him... "Bilkul!!!" Armaan nodded in a yes with a straight face making everyone giggle...
"Abay hadd hoti hai har cheez ki!!! Tum log to dekho tum logon ka kya karta kya hun mein ab!!" He warned all who were there to take advantage of his condition few minutes back...
"Armaan!! iss situation se sab guzarte hain!! tum anokhe nahi ho!!" Nikki narrowed her eyes at him... "Na mein atul ki engagement pe tha!! Na tumhari engagement pe... phir kis baat ka badla nikal rahe thai tum sab??" He questioned while raising his eyes...
"Bas!! isi baat ka!!" Abhi chuckled making others laugh at his comment..
It was about 2 and she was still busy in playing with her ring... "Ab nahi utaro gi!! Right??" A smile came on her face as his words echoed in her ears... She started giggling remembering his moves at the time of shagun placing when he was asked to sit and do nothing for a long period of time beside her... That camera light was irritated and with the gathering of so many people around them was making them feel so hot inspite of the fact that the hall was all airconditioined...
Each and every time when he was pleading his mom or chachi to end it soon, she was pleading same in her heart... he was acting like her voice at that moment... Slowly and gradually her eyelids started getting heavy and she drifted off to sleep with that beautiful smile still as it is on her face...
On the other hand, In Mallik Residence the first person who drifted in to sleep in no time was Armaan Mallik himself :P Armaan was hell tired plus he had that migrain in the evening which he knew will take over again if he won't rest properly... so getting back home, he straight away went to his room, changed his cloths and taking the medicine went to sleep...
...
Next Morning was fun for all... There was no work pending, no more stress and everyone was just enjoying the time of their life... Armaan was all set to get back to Mauritius after 3 days, whereas Sid would be leaving along with his parents at Night... Other relatives were also ready with their luggages as they were set to leave some time today only and only Aliya was staying back as she has still 15 days left to complete her internship...
"Wese... iss baar wapsi pe kisko miss karne wale ho tum sab se zyaada??" Kartik grinned at Armaan asking him openly infront of everyone in the lounge... "Sid ko!! " A straight reply from Armaan within a second... "Sid ko???" Aliya narrowed her eyes...
"Haan haan bilkul!! Free ka naukar jab haath se jata hai to log miss to karte hain naa.." Sid chuckled... "Shut Up yaar!! but seriously yeh nahi hota wahan par to i don't know how i would have survived???" Armaan praised him honestly... "Khair ab aisi bhi baat nahi hai!! survive to khair tum kar he leyte..." Rahul rolled his eyes... "Haan!! sirf lunch he to skip karna parta tumhe!!" Sid giggled...
"Kya matlab hai??" Aradhya butted in between... "Arre tumhe nahi pata??? Main naukar tha naa inka wahan... subha utho, inko uthao, phir jog wagera jo bhi then breakfast bhi main he banata tha!!" Sid started with his list... "Jo k ya to bread ko sekhna hota tha ya phir raat ka leftover garam karna... Aur raat ka khana main banata tha!!" Armaan snapped back...
"To??? Itna bhi... karta to tha naa?? aur wo lunch!! agar main isko na ghaseet k le k jaoon to isko koi farq he nahi parta lunch kiya ya nahi kiya!!" Sid made a face... "Haan to??? NewYork mein kaunsa yeh lunch karta tha??? Hum gaye hain to inke aasre pe rehte to hum bhi bhooke he mar jate!!" Rahul shook his head...
"Lo meine to kuch aur expect kiya tha... yahan to ajeeb he shuru hogaye tum sab!!" Kartik passed a dissppointed look...
"To sawal soch samajh k karna chahiye tha naa?? k kisse kar rahe ho?? Wo pehle he kal k badle nikaalne pe tulaa hua hai!!" Mayank smirked...
"Acha khair... jo bhi hai!! bhae kal gifts bhi mile thai!! wo kaun khole ga??" Rohail questioned looking at Armaan... "Abay haan!! mein to atay he so gaya tha... kholte hain!!" Armaan replied while standing up from the sofa...
"Abay kya perfume aur wrist watches ki dukaan lagaoonga mein??" Armaan narrowed his eyes while opening another gift box... Till now he has got 5 wrist watched and 10 perfume bottles...
"Dukaan lagao ya jo karo... pass on karne ki mat sochna!!" Kartik warned him... "Itni akal mujh mein bhi hai!!" Armaan made a face... "Bharosa nahi haina tumhara!!" Kartik giggled...
"Arre congratulations!! Kuch naya hai iss mein!!" Rahul laughed as he saw cufflinks from the box Armaan just opened... "Nice yaar!! Yeh kaam ki cheez hai!!" Armaan said while biting his lower lip... "Hahaha!!! aur yeh nahi hai!!" Mayank opened up another gift which was again a perfume bottle and showed it to Armaan pointing towards his dresser where the same one was already present...
"Ufff!!! " Armaan shook his head and held another gift to open which was of Atul..
"Agar iss mein se perfume ya ghadi nikli!! to issko to mein waqai mein wapas kar dunga!!" Armaan announced while opening the gift box and found a Neck Tie Box inside... "See!! Usse pata hai what i need the most!!" Armaan smiled...
"Sirf usse nahi!! yahan sabhi to pata hai!!" Sid passed a sarcastic comment...
"Anyways!! The last one! Iss mein to mujhe pata hai k kya hoga!!" Rohail grinned looking at the gift which Abhi and Nikita gifted... "Haan!! aur yeh gift donow sides pe same he gaya hai!!" Rahul chuckled... "O ho!! aisa kya hai??" Armaan narrowed his eyes and taking the gift away from Rohail's hand started opening by his own...
...
"Yeh Abhimanyu aur Nikita to Jiju k friends haina??" Ria asked while handing over their gift to Shilpa... "Common hain!" Muskaan, who was munching a chocolate bar spilled out...
"Common??" Vikram raised an eyebrow... "Chocolate chor!! Tumhe kyun bataoon??" Muskaan made a face and walked out of the room...
"Urghhh!!!" Vikram gritted his teeth and then turned to look at the gift Shilpa has just opened..
It was a framed ArmaanShilpa picture from Reunion Night! The same one which Nikita uploaded on FB and played her Action Replay trick according to it... In this picture both were dressed in Black looking extremely Hawt and Dashing! It was a dancing pose where Armaan's right arm was around Shilpa's waist and and his left hand was under her hairs where as Shilpa was falling in his arms holding him with her right arm around his neck and left hand holding his right shoulder.. The lights and decoration around them was indicating that it was some kind of a party going around...
"Yeh???" Vikram and others jaw dropped down as they saw the photograph... They were still unaware with their history... According to them it was an ultimate arrange marriage where Shilpa and Armaan had probably met twice or thrice...
"Kya hogaya??? Mu kyun khule hain sab ke???" Muskaan asked as she stepped in back in the room... "I mean is this really an arrange marriage???" Vikram asked...
"O ho!! Yeh to master peice hai yaar!! Kahan dekhne ko milega aisa Professor Student Romance!!??" Muskaan commented while taking away the frame from Shilpa's hand to see whereas Shilpa who was still surprised by the gift looked at Muskaan with widen eyes... "Muskaan ki bacchi!!" Shilpa ran after Muskaan thinking of nothing else at the moment...
"What???" Everyone was still in a state of shock whereas Muskaan and Shilpa both were out playing Tom and Jerry all around the house...
Later Muskaan lied to everybody that its her way of teasing Shilpa and there is nothing to get excited about...
"Thank You!!" Armaan called up Nikita instead of Abhi to say a special thanks... "Mention not!!" Nikki giggled.. "Mujhe pata nahi tha yaar tum itne mood mein ho k phone kar k thanks tak bolo gay!! " Nikki chirped... "Mood ki baat nahi hai... Mujhe chahiye thi yeh photograph, FB se to sab delete maar diya tumne..." He chuckled.. "Wo hain na tumhari madam!! Sar kha gai thi mera... Usse bhi same gift kiya hai!! uski to uske cousins baja rahe honge daba ke..." Nikki laughed.. "Abay haan! Main to shuru mein satpata gaya tha k yeh kaunsa tareeqa hai baat karne ka?? Wo to baad mein poll khula k Muskaan ki karistaani thi!!" Armaan shook his head... "Lekin ek baat samajh nahi i... i agree k wo bohat purane style ka prank tha lekin tum wo mirchi wala laddoo kese kha gaye??" Nikki asked... "Arre un logon ne hari mirch katt k laddoo k beech mein plant ki thi.. mujhe mehsoos hua k beech mein kuch hai isliye direct nigal gaya!! chabane ki zehmat nahi ki..." He laughed.. "Haha!! Tum bhi naa... ek he peice ho!! Sagai bhi nahi hui thi aur sar mein dard shuru hogaya tumhare..." Nikki giggled... "Haan!! Magrain jese bata k ata hai!! " Armaan rolled his eyes...
...
"Thank God!! Adhi paltan gai!!" Shilpa took a sigh of relief while falling down on the bed... Most of her relatives left and few were still at her place... Picking up the photograph AbhiNiki gifted which was now nicely placed at the side table of Shilpa's bedroom, she caressed it lightly smiling at it... This was a beautiful memorable moment they both shared and now it was in front of her eyes... There was not even a single person left who saw this photograph and didnt parised them as a couple but when it was asked to her that on what occassion it was taken she went blank and there her biggest enemy and friend Muskaan helped her by changing the topic...
It was after dinner when she was in her room thinking to change and go to sleep when her mobile started ringing... Putting her dupatta aside, she went to pick up her cell phone and saw Armaan's name flashing on it...
"Oops!! Dopahar mein inhun ne call kiya tha aur jaldi mein i said i'll call him back!! bhool gai!! ab??? zaroor taane maarne k liye phone kiya hoga iss waqt!!" Shilpa pouted and picked up his call...
"Tumhara to call back pata nahi kab hona tha!! Zaahir hai kaam mujhe tha to maine he dobara call karna tha!!" He taunted as soon as she picked up the call and said hello... "Mujhe pata tha!! Appne taane maarne k liye he phone kiya hoga!! Neend nahi ati naa apko iss k bagair??" Shilpa said in a complaining tone... "Nahi aati!! adat hai meri.." He bit his lower lip enjoying her tone... He always find her complaining tone cute! "Bohat kharab adat hai!!" She pouted... "Wo kya haina k... ek baar koi mujhse bola tha 'Yehi to baat hai! k aap kuch kehte he nahi!!'" He enacted just the way she sounded while complaining him that..."To ab main lihaz nahi karta tumhara... bus keh deta hun!!" He rolled his tounge inside... "Yeh har baar mujhe yaad dilana zaroori hai??" She frowned... "Bilkul!! Tumhe pata hai jis tarah uss din tum ek k baad ek shikayaatein kar rahi thi mujhse... itni shikayatein ajj tak kisi ko mujhse nahi huin..." He said while playing with his ring... "Ahan!! ghalat!! Koi bolta nahi hai iss ka matlab yeh nahi hai k kisi ko app se koi shikayat nahi hai!! " She retorted back... "Chalo hongi!! nahi bolte wo... lekin tum to dharelle se bolti ho!!" He said while licking his lower lip...
"Acha khair!! jhagre ka mood nahi hai mera... Ajj ka din guzar gaya do din baad mujhe jana hai lekin..." He paused... "Usse pehle i need to have a proper chat with you!! kuch baat karni hai mujhe..." He came on his point... "Kya baat??" She got a bit confused... "Sab abhi bata dun???" Another taunt from his side... "Ufffo!! Acha khair... so kahan?? kya???" She asked...
"Kal dinner karte hain saath mein??" He suggested... "Kal??? Yahan to paltan abhi bhi hai!! bohat chaire gii mujhe..." Shilpa mumbled... "Chairne do meri bala se... Meri baat zyaada zaroori hai!!" He announced... "Chairne do??? kya matlab hai??" She asked in a sharp tone... "Tum kaunsi itni seedhi cheez ho k wo cherin gay to tum chup chaap beth k sharmao gii???" He questioned... "To app kya kehna chah rahe hain?? mein tedhi cheez hun??" She frowned at him...
"Bilkul!! Aur tumhe iss baat pe zara bhi shakk hai to kabhi bhi be jhijhak humare beech hone wali baaton ko record kar k sun leyna!! clear ho jayegi confusion!!" He laughed.. "App naa bus... jaein so jaein!!" Shilpa scowled...
"Chalo.. tumhara khud se bezaar hone ka time shuru hogaya!! bye!!" He ended the call with a chuckle...
"Urghhh!! Mujhe bhi inhi k palle bandna tha?? Kitna khatarnaak aadmi hai yeh!!" An annoyed Shilpa threw her mobile on the bed and went inside bathroom to take a shower...
Amit, Sapna and Vikram, all were having a mug of coffee outside in the lawn along with Muskaan... It was late night and everybody was fast asleep but as the three of the were supposed to leave the next day so they decided to enjoy this last night like this...
"Meow!!" Bella slowly walked upto Muskaan waving her tail and climbed up in her lap... "Kya hai??" Muskaan arched her eyebrows at her whereas Bella tried to settle down and get a comfortable position in Muskaan's lap...
"Kya sir pe charhaya hua hai Shilpa ne iss billi ko?? Har jagah ghussi rehti hai!!" Vikram shook his head... "Tumhe kya masle hain?? tumhara kya bigara hai iss ne??" Muskaan frowned... "Kya bigara hai??? Mere joote... scratches daal diye un pe.." Vikram complained... "Hahahahaha!! Pata hai?? jab nani i thi to... hum logon ne invite kiya tha jiju wagera ko dinner pe... Nani se milwane k liye aur iss ne Jiju k jooton ka bhi wohi hashar kiya tha!! sakht na pasand hain unhe ghar mein koi bhi janwar.." Muskaan laughed... "O ho!! Phir to guzara mushkil ho jaye gaa Shilpa ka... In mohtarma k bagair to neend nahi ati usko.." Sapna giggled...
"Bella???" Next they heard Shilpa's voice... she was searching for bella.. "Lo agai!!" Amit smiled as Shilpa walked near them...
"Kuch special hai ajj??" Shilpa questioned as she saw the three sitting like this... "Aise he bethe thai... aoo betho!!" Amit replied while pointing at the empty chair next to Muskaan...
"Wese guys!! Uss time sab thai wahan to baat gol kardi meine lekin i need to know everything..." Vikram said while keeping his mug aside.. "What everything??" Shilpa asked... "Bano mat... come on yaar!! hum kaunsa ja k shehar bhar mein dhandhora peetne walay hain???" Vikram narrowed his eyes at Shilpa.. "Haan!! iss pe to i agree... When i fell for Sapna! tum teenow se yeh baat share ki thi meine sab se pehle... Ab tum donow iss tarah secrets nahi rakh sakte..." Amit said while changing his position... "Nahi!! You will leave no chance to pull my leg then..." Shilpa replied negatively... "Abay oye!! Nautanki!! Tum achi tarah se jaanti ho k kisi aur k saamne main kuch nahi karunga!!" Vikram scolded Shilpa... "Aur wese bhi... Sagai k din k chaal chalan aur uss photograph ne yeh to proof kar he diya hai k yeh sirf arrnage marriage to nahi hai!!" Sapna added... "Kya??? mujhe kya dekh rahi ho?? its your choice..." Muskaan raised her shoulders carelessly at Shilpa who was looking at her for an answer...
"Come On!! Shuru se shuru karo.." Sapna tried to push Shilpa a little...
"Shuru se kya hai??? its just that proposal aya aur..." Shilpa started and Muskaan burst out laughing... "Aira ghaira kisi ka bhi proposal ata to Shilpa issi tarah haan karti??" Muskaan teased her... "Exactly!! Shuru se bola hai!!" Amit showed eyes to Shilpa...
"Uffo!! chalo tum bolo..." Shilpa patted Muskaan's shoulder... "Hmmm..." Muskaan rubbed her palms against each other giving Bella to Shilpa and started...
"Its like...almost Three years back??" Muskaan looked at Shilpa as if to conform who nodded in a yes... "Kya??? Teen saal se affair chal raha hai tum logon kaa??" Vikram shouted... "Abay oye chup!!" Muskaan made him shut up and continued... "Three years back yaad hai?? tum log yahin aye hue thai Amit bhaiya aur Sapna bhabhi ki shaadi ki shopping ke liye??" Muskaan tried to make them remember... "Haan!!" Amit nodded in a yes... "Aur ek raat Shilpa ghar se bahar thi aur bohat tezz baarish ho rahi thi we were worried k yeh kahan hai??? aur phir kisi stranger ne iss ko lift di thi aur ghar chora tha because her car broke down???" Muskaan tried to make them remember more... "Haan..." Vikram nodded in a yes... "Yess!!! The one who dropped her home was...!!" Muskaan chuckled.. "Ohhh!!! Okay!!" Vikram nodded with a grin on his face...
"Phirr????" Muskaan looked at Shilpa to continue... "Phir kya??? When i started MBA to wahan kuch project k liye information wagera collect kar rahi thi to i got to know k he used to be a topper there... phir mujhe character thoda interesting laga to aur find out kiya to pata chala k kaun hai? kya hai??? Actually i... kind a became fan of him!!" Shilpa confessed..
"O ho!! Just a fan???" Sapna giggled... "Haan bhabhi!! tab tak to just a fan!!" Muskaan grinned...
"Lekin... matlab yeh shaadi wala scene kab?? kahan se start hua??" Amit inquired more... "I think... pata nahi Papa k kisi business friend k ghar party thi wahan zabardasti mumma daant pilla k le k gai thi k ghar se nikla karo... ghar pe bethi rehti ho!!" Shilpa shook her head... "By the way tab mein yahan nahi thi... Mumma k jaipur gai hui thi..." Muskaan added... "Haan!! yeh nahi thi... so wo bohat boring party thi..." Shilpa made a face... "Tab to yaqeenan tumhare kaanow mein headphone lagay hue honge..." Vikram guessed.. "Haan!! ofcorse... bohat boring thi yaar party... phir mein kisi ko jaanti bhi nahi thi... so wahan ek table pe ja k bethi aur do aur logon ko dekha jo meri bore ho rahe thai aur kisi ko yaad kar kar k bura bhala keh rahe thai!!" Shilpa giggled remembring the scene...
"Un mein se ek Armaan tha???" Amit asked.. "Nahi!! Wo Rahul aur Rohail thai!! Aur Armaan ko yaad kar kar k bura bhala keh rahe thai kyunki unke NewYork mein hone ki wajah se unhe uss party mein zabardasti laaya gaya tha!!" Shilpa passed a coy smile...
"Armaan ki wajah se kese??" Amit asked with a bit confused look on his face... "Bhae, in logon ne apna MBA just khatam kiya tha aur chuttiyun wagera ka plan tha but jiju NewYork chale gaye to they were forced to join office immediately!!" Muskaan explained...
"Haan!!!" Shilpa agreed... " Infact yeh teenow bhai he iss kism ki parties se chirte hain but as Armaan became popular in business to... unhe attend karni parti thi yeh parties aur yeh donow bach jatay thai... but jab wo NewYork chale gaye to they both had no other options left but the attend those parties.." Shilpa elobrated more..
"Okay!! phir??" Sapna asked...
"Phir yeh Dad ne naya naya koi project start kiya tha Billy Uncle k saath so.. isliye bhi jaante thai unhe aur phir unn logon ne humay dinner pe bulaya aur phir proposal bhej diya!!" Shilpa pressed her lips together..
"Hain??? Lekin Armaan to tum keh rahi ho k NewYork mein tha??" Amit frowned... "Haan to??? Unhu ne just milne ki baat ki thi aisa thodi tha k rishta he bhej diya tha!!" Muskaan said in between... "Aur phir tumhare mann mein laddoo phoota aur tumne kaha haan!!" Vikram teased Shilpa... "Haan!!" Muskaan laughed giving a high five to Vikram... "Shut Up!!" Shilpa rolled her eyes...
"Lekin iss ke baad jo jiju k saath hua that was hilarious!!" Muskaan laughed "Mujhe Rahul ne unke side ki story batai thi!!" She continued... "Kya?? kaunsi story??" Shilpa asked...
"Ach tumhe bhi nahi pata??" Muskaan got a bit surprised... "Actually naa when ever they use to ask him about marriage stuff and all so he is always like,Mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni! mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni!! so ghar walon ne unko sunna he chor diya... Phir poocha k is there anyone you like?? Sab ko pata tha k he is a workholic so time nahi nikale gaa iss sab k liye and exactly that was the case!!" Muskaan smiled while taking a sip of her coffee...
"So??? he was not interested in anyone??" Amit asked... "Haan!! Infact gharwalon ki baaton se itne pareshaan hogaye k he said choose who ever you want and then i'll see... mein kahin kisi mein interested nahi hun!" Muskaan smiled looking at Shilpa..
"Seems like a decent man!" Vikram passed a comment...
"Acha! kisi mein interested nahi tha to seems like a decent guy??" Sapna arched her eyebrows at Vikram...
"Uffo bhabhi!!!" Vikram shook his head...
"Khair so... jab Shilpa ne haan keh diya to hua asal masla k unse baat kese ki jaye kyunki shaadi k topic ko le k sab ne itna sir khaya tha k ab koi bhi uss baare mein baat karta to wo koi bahana bana k phone rakh dete thai!!" Muskaan giggled...
"Phir jab Shilpa ne haan kar di to masla hogaya k bhae unse baat kese ki jaye kyunki phone pe to karne wali baat thi nahi...Aur tumhe literally wahan par hona chahiye tha jab Rahul mujhe yeh sab bata raha tha!! I mean his face expressions were worth watching!!" Muskaan laughed...
"Kyun??? aisa bhi kya tha??" Shilpa asked...
"Arre he was like... Shilpa ko pasand ghar walon ne kiya!! Almost rishta pakka kiya aur phirr jab main part, bhai ko batane ki baat i to humare yaani Rahul aur Rohail donow k bags pack kar k Tumhara photo unke haath mein de ke.. They all asked them to go and talk to him..." Muskaan pressed her lips together...
"Hain?? yeh sab bhi hua tha??" Shilpa was surprised to hear that...
"Yup! and they both were like hum he reh gaye hain pitne k liye??? Aur phir ... jiju ko pata nahi tha k yeh donow a rahe hain aur yeh log wahan pohche raat ko teen 3 baje!!" Muskaan rolled her tongue inside..
"Raat ko 3 baje??? Phir darwaza khola ya bund he rehne diya??" Shilpa asked with a giggle...
"Rohail baad mein bolta hai mujhe to laga tha khole ga humay dekhe gaa aur mu pe bund kar dega lekin humne utna time nahi diya aur bus darwaza khulte he ander ghuss gaye!!!" Muskaan further told them...
"Ab itni raat ko khair mein bhi yehi karta..." Vikram gave a sideloop smile...
"Anyways un donwo k hisaab se jiju akele hote thai NewYork mein aur that workholic nature of him so kaafi irritated was annoyed rehte thai isliye kehne laga k hum soch soch k thuk gaye k how to talk to him kyunki yeh to pakka tha k bohat pitne walay hain hum!!" Muskaan paused and took another sip of her coffee...
"Phir kese bataya??" Amit asked...
"Jab kuch nahi soojha un donow ko to shilpa ka photo liya aur unki file mein daal diya!!" Muskaan grinned looking at Shilpa... "Haan!! jis pe paani girr gaya!!" Shilpa made a face...
"Yeah!! uspe paani gir gaya and saaf karne k chakkar mein uss photo ka kabara hogaya i mean it got blured completely..." Muskaan bit her lower lip...
"Lo??? phir kya kiya??? FB??" Vikram asked...
"Nahi!! uss time main Rohail, Rahul wagera se bhi itna free nahi thi k FB pe add wagera karti aur yeh cheezein hoti so bus wo ek he photo tha mera unke pass jo kharab ho chuka tha!!" Shilpa said while moving her fingers slowly in Bella's think white long hairs...
"Phir?? Phir kese mana wo??" Amit asked...
"Ab itna bhi kharab nahi hua tha photo... jiju ne itna to identify kar he liya tha k he had seen her somewhere!! memory dekhiye app bunde ki!!" Muskaan smirked...
"Seriously!! i mean ek he baar to mile thai wo bhi uss tarah itne time pehle..." Vikram was a bit shocked hearing about his sharp memory... "Khair jo bhi tha class to khair phir bhi lagi un donow ki k kiska photo hai aur unki file mein kahan se aya aur phir ek long lecture then kehne laga Rohail ko kuch nahi soojha to usne alag he story banani shuru kar di aur phir khechte khechte pehle haan nikalwai unse phir asal baat batai k kiska photo hai aur kaun hai... In short khoob drama aur humgama hua udhar!!" Muskaan and Shilpa both started laughing...
"Hahahahaha!! Abay full on tafreeh hai yaar!! lekin mujhe yeh samajh mein nahi aya k sirf milwane k liye itne papar kyun belne pare??? I mean itna bada bhakhera khara karne ki kya zaroorat thi??" Sapna asked...
"Haan!! yeh meine bhi baad mein poocha usse to he said k baat sirf yeh nahi thi k in donwo ko milna tha... baat yeh thi k almost yeh donow families Rishta done kar chuki thi bus mu se kuch nahi bola tha... I mean mamo jiju pehle mil chuke thai phir inki family bhi bohat pasand i thi unhe to wo to ready thai iske liye aur phir baad mein we got to know k Annanya Aunty aur Mami donow childhood friends thai but phir contact lost hogaya tha lekin jo bhi tha mami was like Annanya ka beta hai so he has to be good!!" Muskaan explained...
"So basically Jiju k pass milne k liye haan bulwane nahi gaye thai... and he also knew it k yeh rihsta almost pakka kar chuke hain mera and in donow ko bheja hai mere pass so that i should get mentally prepared k mera pass na ka option nahi hai!!" Muskaan further told...
"Hain??? yaar yeh to zabardasti thi..." Amit frowned...
"Zabardasti kahan se hogai?? Mere mu pe bol diya unhu ne k pichle do maheenow mein meine tumhara naam itna suna tha k mujhe seriously chirr hogai thi aur mein wahan se tay kar k aya tha k kisi se bhi shaadi karunga lekin iss Shilpa naam ki ladki se shaadi nahi karunga!!" Shilpa blurted out...
"What??? He said it on your face??" Amit's eyes widen up... "Yeah!! matlab aise rudly nahi bola tha kuch baat hui thi to usse clear karte hue bata rahe thai..." Shilpa explained...
"Acha Shut Up guys!!" Sapna stopped Amit and Vikram from another interuption and asked Muskaan to continue...
"Phirr agay ki inhi se poocho mein to thi nahi yahan...Aur jitna Rahul ne mujhe bataya tha meine bata diya!!" Muskaan replied...
"So??? phir milna kese hua tum donow ka???" Amit asked Shilpa... "Wo... chorein kya baatein le k beth gaye??" Shilpa tried to get up from her chair when Vikram pushed her back... "Ab to zaroor kuch isse zyaada interesting aur zabardast hai sunne ko... bolo..." Vikram was not ready to let her go so easily...
"Hahahahahaha!! Only interesting??? its hilarious!!" Muskaan laughed out loud and Shilpa started glaring at her...
"Usko mat dekho aise... shuru karo chalo..." Amit clicked his fingers in front of Shilpa...

Shilpa explained...
"To?? unhun ne mulaqat karwai??" Sapna asked...
"Nahi!! bolne to dein usko agaya..." Muskaan didn't like this interruption...
"So.. Armaan, Atul ko university mein milne aye aur professor Sinhe k wo assistant bhi reh chuke thai pehle kabhi so Principal sir ne pakar liya unko aur le aye humari class mein..." Shilpa paused...
"Ek Minute!! Yaani wo jo tum professor student keh rahi thi that was not a joke???" Vikram looked at Muskaan with a shocking face... "Yesss!!" Muskaan smirked...
"OMG!!" Vikram and Amit started laughing over it...
"And what was your reaction when you saw him???" Sapna asked Shilpa with widene yes...
"Honestly naa... i went numb for a moment!! mere haath paoon thunde hogaye k yeh to NewYork mein thai aur yahan iss tarah achanak?? bohat shocked hogai thi mein... aur phir zabardasti laya gaya tha unko wahan so he was all ready to set an impression k hum unhe as a teacher reject kar dein... Bohat he not so interested look tha face pe and baatein bhi wesi he thi k mein bhi ek minute to shock mein agai k maine to kya suna tha aur kya cheez hain?? lekinn... Anjali!! she just stood up saying excuse me sir!! Aur Armaan k expressions were worth watching wo ek dum seedhe hogaye... he was like ab yeh bahar ja k poll khol degi so i had to act normal and believe me!! He is an awesome teacher!!" Shilpa praised him...
"Tumhe to awesoem he lagay gaa!!" Amit teased her...
"Mazak k ilaawa... seriously!! i mean poori class humari adhe ghante mein set hogai thi k inhi se parhna hai! Infact mein lecture mein itna involve hogai thi k i almost forgot it k mein thodi deir pehle nervous thi aur i just raised a question jispe i still remember he said good question miss??? Aurr mere ander aisi agg lagi thi uss time bata nahi sakti!!" Shilpa shook her head...
"Hahahahahaha!!! Kyunki ussne tumhari photo to dekhi nahi thi... And obviously you didn't know it???" Sapna laughed... "Haan!! isiliye to agg lag gai thi mujhe... mujhe insult feel hua tha..." Shilpa made a face... "Aur phir meine apna naam bataya i said Shilpa! to uspe he made a face aur agg lag gai mujhe..." Shilpa shook her head...
"Hahahahahha!!! Kyunki unhe Shilpa naam se chirr hui wi thi uss time!!" Vikram burst out laughing...
"Mera paara itna charh gaya tha k uske baad library mein bi ek question pe khoob garma garmi hogai thi humare beech and then when i was about to leave he asked...'Have we met before??" Shilpa rolled her eyes remembering that day...
"Hahahahahaha!!!" Muskaan and everyone burst out laughing...
"Meri sulag gai ander say... i was like meri itni insult??? such a kharus and arrogant man!!" Shilpa scowled...
"ohhh haahaha!!" Vikram held his stomach... "Thats hilarious!!" He added...
"Abhi tumhe lag raha haina??? uss waqt tum mere saamne atay naa to kuch kar he deti tumhara mein!!" Shilpa gave her angry looks... "So?? phir meeting to kaafi interesting rahi hogi tum donwo ki???" Amit said while controlling his laugh...
"I don't know... mein uss time kaafi gusse mein thi and Anjali mere saath thi!! jab hum ghar aye to dekha tayariyaan chal rahi hai aur phir mumaa ne bola k tumse kal raat se baat karna chah rahi hun lekin time he nahi hai tumhare pass aur phir unhun ne bataya k he is back so wo log ajj raat ko invited hain yahan so that we shall meet and decide and if things will work out to ussi waqat shayad roke ki rasam bhi ho jaye aur mein to pehle he itne gusse mein thi aur sir dard hogay mera!!" Shilpa licked her lower lip...
"Haan!! mein phir shaam tak a gai thi aur yeh so k uthi thi uss waqt aur Anjali isspe chilla rahi thi k faaltu ki sochne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai and bla bla bla... uss waqt to mujhe samajh mein kuch nahi aya but later i got to know the whole scene!!" Muskaan told everyone...
"Phir??? how was the meeting???" Vikram asked excitedly on which both Muskaan and Shilpa burst out laughing...
"You know what?? ummm jab Armaan ne naya naya MBA wagera finish kiya tha and he was looking out for a job tab Billy uncle offered him some post in Mallik Industries lekin he wanted to stand on his own so he rejected saying k mein appka beta hun to app mujhe yeh offer kar rahe hain and i am not worth it!! i mean experience wagera kuch nahi tha unke pass uss time to bus isiliye..." Shilpa said while taking a deep breath...
"Impressive!!" Amit commented...
"Yeah!! phir Billy uncle ne kaha k fine go and find a job where ever you want aur agar unhune tumhe same post offer kiya to you will come back here and he agreed to it.." Shilpa paused for a moment... " the best part k unhun ne apna pehle interview Papa k office mein papa ko diya!!"
"wHAT???" Sapma, Amit and Vikram shouted at the same time...
"Yess!! aur papa ne unhe wohi post offer ki jo Billy uncle ne ki thi... So, papa gave him his appointment letter and saying a sorry and leaving it on the table he left..." Shilpa laughed...
"OMG!!!" Amit kept his hand on his eyes... "Bade papa se mil k to phir kuch aur he hua hoga!!" Vikram laughed...
"Arre unki shakal dekhne wali thi... Wo mamoo se mile aur hahahahha!! worth watching expressions yaar lekin phir normal hogaya tha sab..." Muskaan laughed... "Tch Tch Tch!! Bechara!!" Sapna giggled...
"Bechara abhi kahan?? Anjali ne mujhe drawing room k bahar he rok liya k stay and just watch jiju that is it!!" Muskaan paused for a moment... "Shilpa drinks le k gai... sab ko di aur end mein jiju ko di aurr jiju ne drink li, he said thanks without looking up... wo mamoo se baaton mein lagay hue thai but the moment he looked up!! Saans atak gai unki!!!" Muskaan burst out laughing and same was others reaction...
"Hahahahhahaa!!!" Shilpa held her stomach remembering the scene...
"Yaar!!! unke expressions!! dekne walay thai!!" Muskaan pushed her head back on the chair while laughing...
"Hahahahaha!! i am sure dekhne walay he honge..." Amit laughed out loud...
"He was... matlab heart attack agaya tha uss din unko almost!! " Muskaan commented... "Aur yeh bhi yaad agaya tha k where we met before!!" Shilpa chuckled...
"Ahh haha!! Unko shilpa k saath bahar bheja and Rohail was like.. arre roka isko he has his plans to get a no from Shilpa.. Usspe Anjlai hassne lagi.. boli uski condition nahi hai iss waqt kuch oot patang karne ki.. hahaha!!!" Muskaan shook her head...
"Ufff!! matlab full on tafreeh hai yaar!! aur tum tum keh rahi thi kuch nahi hai??" Vikram made a face looking at Shilpa...
"Ab tumhe yeh tafreeh lag rahi hai!! uss time mere aur unke liye yeh tafreeh nahi thi!!" Shilpa rolled her eyes... "To??? baatein kya huin tum logon k beech???" Sapna passed a mischevious smile to Shilpa...
"Baatein kya honi thi yaar??? first to he apologized for the morning, mujhe explain kiya unhun ne k actual mein scene kya tha... phir bus aise he idhar udhar ki..." Shilpa sighed.. "But you know what??? he has this thing in himself k anyone can get along with him easily... Mein bohat uncomfortable thi lekin once he started talking he made me comfortable through that..." Shilpa pressed her lips together...
"Khair yeh baat to hai unki!! Aur yeh har baar hota hai k Shilpa sab k saamne jitna bhi chae chae kare unke saamne atay he seedhi hojati hai yeh..." Muskaan looked at Shilpa only to get a smack on her shoulder... "Phir wo baat karna kuch shuru karte hain aur phir Shilpa normal ho jati hai!! Aur aj kal to yeh halaat hogaye hain k unke saath bhi wesi he hai jesi humare saath hoti hai!!" Muskaan shot a mischevious look to Shilpa...
"Acha hai!! koi to seedha kar k rakhe tantrum queen ko.." Vikram commented and got ahard smack on his shoulder from Shilpa...
"Lekin jo bhi kaho... sab se mazedaar to roka tha!! In donow k beech mein baat hui!! Shilpa ki haan to humay pehle he pata thi and he also said a yes aurr unhe khudko roke k baare mein koi idea nahi tha.. He came to know about it only jab humne Shilpa ko le ja k unke barabar mein bithaya hai aur rasam start hui..." Muskaan laughed out loud...
"I don't believe you!! itna successful banda hai... pata nahi kitne log uske neeche kaam karte hain, bhaiyun mein sab se bada hai aur uski life k faisle aise ho rahe hain!!! usse pooche bagair??" Amit find it a bit weird...
"Bhaiya!! app iss cheez ko aur jiju ko tab tak nahi samajh sakte jab tak uss family k saath ya unke saath acha khasa time na spent karo... Matlab jiju is very chilled out guy! " Muskaan tried to explain...
"Ek baat bata dun main!! Don't ever think k koi bhi cheez unki life mein unki marzi k bagair hoti hai... like roka wagera jo bhi tha k he got to know about it at the last moment or what... lekin agar wo nahi chahte to yeh kisi bhi keemat pe nahi ho sakta tha!! He listens to everybody but do what he wants!! And when he wantsto do somethigng he just do it, wait nahi karte!!" Shilpa cleared the air...
"Great!! Tumhare liye bilkul aisa he banda hona chahiye tha!! Tumhe handle kar sake..." Vikram passed a comment on Shilpa... "Kya matlab hai??" Shilpa frowned... "Tum jitni chui mui ho... tum to le doobo kisi ko bhi..." Vikram further showed her the mirror...
"Bura manne ki baat nahi hai!! but i agree to him!! Matlab agar wo aise nahi hote to yeh rishta to toot chuka hota phir ab tak..." Muskaan agreed on what Vikram said...
"What do you mean???" Shilpa narrowed her eyes... "Wo jis tarah se tum bharki thi unpe uss university dare wale scene k baad... " Muskaan shook her head...
"Kaun sa scene??" Amit asked while narrowing his eyes...
"Jee nahi!! it was his fault..." Shilpa ignored Amit and started arguing with Muskaan...
"No it was not!!" Muskaan replied back...
"Uffo?? ab ladna mat shuru kar dena..." Amit stopped both of them...
"Acha chalo... we'll tell you the scene aur app bataiye k who was at fault!!" Shilpa said while looking at Amit... "Fine..." Amit agreed...
"University mein... Inke ek class fellow ko dare mila tha k he should go and propose her aur sab ko pata tha k she'll slap him hard and he was ready for it... Wo aya usne propose kiya aur..." Muskaan paused looking at Shilpa who was making faces...
"Aur????" Sapna arched her eyebrows...
"Aur she was about to slap lekin bechari ka heart fail hote hote bacha when she saw Jiju right there standing at at a corner..." Muskaan completed...
"What????" Vikram, Amit and Sapna jumped up...
"He was standing there??? phir?? kuch ghalat samjha??" Amit asked immediately..
"Meri jaan nikal gai thi uss waqt.. main bhaag gai thi wahan se..." Shilpa covered her face with her palms...
"Bhaag to khair gai thi lekin madam ki baatein suniye app... inka gussa iss baat pe tha k he didn't came forward and did anything... like jese unko saamne a k maar dhaar shuru kar deni chahiye thi...Aur uss time pe inka rishta iss tarah ka tha bhi nahi.." Muskaan said while taking a deep breath...
"Put that a side k he did something or not... the thing is that k ussne kuch ghalat to nahi samajh liya tha??" Vikram asked with widen eyes...
"Nahi!! Infact baad mein mujhe confront kiya tha k what matters to him was my reaction aur university mein yeh sab pranks chalte hain!! He trusted me!!" Shilpa cleared the air...
"Jee!! Lekin yeh madam uss time itna gusse mein thi k unhe theek thak suna di... and the next day nani k ane ki wajah se humne un logon ko invite kiya tha aur meri to literally jaan atki hui thi k pata chala nani se milne bulwaya hai aur yahan a ke rishte ka he the end tha kar jaein wo..." Muskaan shook her head remembering those moments...
"But he said he trusted her to zahir sii baat hai k kuch nahi hua hoga?? right??" Sapna asked... "Haan nahi hua!! infact uss din in ki nokjhok dekh k humay pata chala k hum ghalat thai k inke beech baat cheet he nahi hoti... Inke beech to ladaiyaan hoti hain!!" Muskaan giggled...
"To phir you were at fault naa?? tumhe nahi sunani chahiye thi..." Sapna said while looking at Shilpa... "Aur sirf yehi nahi baad mein according to her only sab ki achi khasi class leyli thi unhune uss baat ko le kar..." Muskaan further added...
"Main uss time bohat gusse mein thi... "Shilpa looked away... "To yehi baat hai na Shilpa!! Tum gusse mein sochti nahi ho... Main keh sakta hun k mere saamne aisa kuch hota mein to 100% ghalat samajhta..." Vikram put his views on...
"Achaaa... khatam karo iss baat ko..." Shilpa got a bit irritated...
"Haan!! achi achi baatein karo..." Muskaan too felt the topic was not good... "Jese roke k teesre din zor ki baarish hui aur yeh donow uss mein aise atke k poora ek din aur poori raat ek hotel mein stay karna para!!" Muskaan giggled..
"Ahum... ahum!!!" Amit spitted outhis coffee hearing that and started coughing... "What???" Came out of Vikram's mouth...
"To iss mein itna excited hone ki kya baat hai??? Thank God uss time main akeli nahi thi warna oopar he pohunch gai hoti!!" Shilpa made a face remembring her condition at that time...
