PART 18: ROMANCE in TAMIL STYLE

HAAN JI BASHA KI DEKH RAHE HO TUSSI

CHAL SHURU HO JA OYE

A dynamic voice was heard. Arnav jumped out of the window before Khushi could react and came to the living room through Main Entrance. There he saw his Dadaji and Dadi Standing among many men with Dol.

DADAJI DADI

Arnav ran to them while Khushi came down from her room.

Arnav fell on their feet and they hugged him.

Arnav was in his white Kurta and pant. Dadi did Nazar utar for him while Dadaji took some money and moved it around his head and threw it.

Khushi who saw them felt her head spin. Akshara was having tears in her eyes. Daksh and Aran never came out of their room.

Dadiji went to Akshita and hugged her not letting her fall on her feet.

Dadi: Askshita. Good to see you after so many years. Where is our Pari? How is she?

Akshita: Athai. I have brought her up as you and Anni wanted. She looks like Raj anna. See her standing there.

Akshita pointed to Khushi's direction and Dadi saw her standing with her hands on her head. Dadi rushed to her. But before she could reach her Arnav reached dadi and whispered in her ears.

Arnav: Dadi, She doesn't remember anything. Don't call her Pari and confuse her more. She still doesn't know that I am the Groom. Careful.

Dadi nodded and went near her Pari. Dadaji just had his eyes on Akshita. Both were having wordless teary conversation through their eyes. Arnav just observed everything.

Dadi: Khushi?

Khushi turned to dadi and opened her eyes wide like saucers.

Khushi: Dammu..

Hearing her Akshita Dadaji Arnav and Dadi all laughed.

Flashback:

It was time when Khushi was learning to talk. Khushi being from a family of people talking different language, confuses her words and confuses herself and others too. Sometimes she used to totally bring oput a new word.

Arnav being just 1 year elder to her used to have tough time understanding her words. Once Arnav and Khushi were enjoying their evening in their garden,

Arnav: Kuku, ye lo laddu, Dadi banayi (Have laddu, Dadi has made them).

Khushi: Da.. ddd... burrr

Khushi tried pronouncing Dadi but got confused and pouted spitting on Arnav. Arnav made faces made her face him.

Arnav: Da.. di.. bolo kuku(Say Da.. di).

Khushi: do..do hahaha

Arnav lost his patience. Arnav pointed to him and asked.

Arnav: Kuku, Mai kon(who am I)?

Khushi: ANNU.

Arnav:Urhhh... Annu nahi Arnav.

Khushi(pouting and nodding no): ANNU.

Arnav:Ok, I am Annu, who are you?

Khushi: Khu...shiii.

Arnav: Good. Chalo(come).

He took her to the kitchen where his Dadi and other ladies were and asked her poiting to his Dadi.

Arnav: ye kon?

Khushi who has seen Arjun and Avantika calling her Amma and Arnav calling her Dadi got confused and mixed both the words.

Khushi: Yeh yeh... DAMMU.

All the ladies there were first confused , but later seeing her small cute confused face and laughed loud. Arnav was at the edge of his patience.

They tried changing her words but she never changed. She continued calling Dadi as Dammu and Dadaji as Daddu.

Seeing everyone laughing Khushi got angry. Mainly seeing her Laad governor laugh like that, first she was mesmerized but later she glared at him for laughing at her. What she dint remember was that she called Dadi as Dammu.

Dadi seeing Khushi glaring with her hands on hips remembered Rajiv who used to do the same when Arjun used to pull his legs. Childhood friends they were.

Dadi: Khushi bitiya, shall we start your Haldi? Its time. Vese I am Arnav's Dadi. Arnav said that you are getting married. He is not letting us see his marriage, so thought of witnessing atleast some marriage. Hope you don't mind.

Khushi(Flushed): Oh no no.. I don't mind. Please. Dadiji. Mami, refreshments...

Akshita came forward only to be stopped by Devyani.

Dadi: No problem dear. You just enjoy your haldi. I will also apply Haldi on you?

Khushi: Ji.

Dadi: We just now came, so you start the function while we go and change our clothes.

Akshita: Please come. I will show you the guest room.

They all went to Khushi's room. They all changed to yellow dress and made Arnav sit on a low stool. Dadi first applied Haldi on his feet and then arms and then cheeks much to Arnav;s irritation. Dadaji chuckled seeing him making faces.

Dadaji: Chote, get all this done when you are offered politely, once your Dadi gets into feisty mode, you cannot escape han.

Dadi glared at Dadaji.

Dadaji: Uhhh... Devyaniji, shant ho jayiye. Hamare Badan jalne lagi hai(Devyaniji, calm down. My body is on fire).

Arnav had to laugh for this. His crazy family. He shook is head in disbelief when his Dadaji came to apply haldi on him. Dadaji scooped little haldi in his hands and took a look at Arnav. Arnav narrowed his eyes thinking what is his Dadaji upto. Before he could react, Dadaji smeared the haldi on his nose and pulled it.

Arnav(Complaining): Dadaji?

Dadaji(Laughing): Haldi hai Chote, Toda masti toh banta hai(Its your haldi, so being naughty is allowed).

Then Akshita applied haldi on his cheeks and went down to apply haldi on Khushi. She took the haldi from the left overs of Arnav's and rushed down. Meanwhile Arnav Cleaned haldi on him and waited for her Haldi to get over.

Here Khushi was getting drenched in haldi. She made faces and started complaining to Dadi and Akshita making all others laugh. At one stage when she got angry, She started chasing the young girls applying aldi on them. She forgot about her marriage to Aran and started enjoying. Arnav watched all these from upstairs with a small smile.

Akshita caught Khushi and asked her to clean and change. When Khushi changed to her half sari and came out of the room, the lights went off.

Hmm.. hann.. hann.. ahan..

Arnav came to her and pulled her to the spotlight at the center. The girls that he arranged started humming in chorus
