I really dunno how did this one come out. As usual while traveling by bus, I was thinking about the Lemon Aartiji, poora Lemon hain, and started typing this. And did the remaining half at home. Didn't get time to proof read though. I wonder whether you will like it. But please do share your views. Thanks.

THE LEMON EFFECT - AarYa OS ;))
"Bhabhiii!!!! Can you get me a lemon please, I wanna smell one right now, this nausea feeling is making me crave for weird things," said Paridhi with a glint of expectation in her jelly-fish like eyes. Her weird cravings were really taking a toll on her as well as the whole Scindia clan. Only last year they have had to bear all the tantrums and silly yet cute *farmaaishen* of Aarti and here they were this year anticipating a new member. The *Chote* of the family would finally become a dad much to the relief of his parents who thought he would have ended up as a monk and this was something about which his brothers would normally tease him.
"Kyaaa!!!! Yeh tum...," no sooner had these 3 words left Vidhi's mouth that she was interrupted by the constant coughing of Yash who was equally in the kitchen with the 3 Bahuranis of the Scindia House, making his special bhel puri for the Choti-est Bahu of the house after, of course, receiving a deadly glare from his Wife cum JKR. C'mon he wasn't a bhel puri waala. He had made it for Aarti the last time because she, well, she is his lawfully wedded wife. That didn't mean that he was to do it for all. But then anything for Pari, after all she was expecting and was family.
"Yash Bhaiyya take this and drink it. It will bring you relief. I wonder who is thinking about you that you are coughing to suffocation like this."
Well, that was the belief of his oversuperstitious Bhabhi. You cough and someone is definitely thinking about you or more, talking or gossiping about you.
"Kya hua Yashji, itni khaassi??? Are you alright? Nimbu Paani laoon kya??? Shayad aaram miljaae. You love Lemon, na," said Aarti while giving him a wink and a teasing look.
Lemon!!!!!! That little teasing witch of a wife he had. He knew why she had said so. In fact the very word lemon had become the word of the century since that incident when Aarti was 6 weeks pregnant. He was helping her anyway, so why the hell does she keep teasing him about that. OK that was maybe OTT or rather funny but still it did bring her relief. Women!!!! He thought, Zara Zara si Baat ka batangar banalete hain. Still, he had to admit that he loves it all the time she calls him Her Lemon Man. In fact since that day they have always bought the Lemon Shower Gel. As per Aarti it smells the best on him. But that didn't mean that she had it on authority to keep teasing her about that all the time. The very moment one would mention lemon, Yash had to prepare himself for a teasing session from his wifey. At times, he wondered why he hasn't yet got himself into a 3rd Vivah because with a crazy wife like his, any wise man would have thought of getting a *new* wife. But then, she is his life, and one can't live without his life, right? Besides, her *bachpana* is what makes it fun to live with.
"Lemon, lemon, lemon!!!! Har baat pe lemon. Today, either of you will have to spill it. Why is is that you start laughing like a maniac on the mention on Lemon Aarti. And Yash Bhaiyya, aap bhi? Now I think that your coughing started with Pari mentioning about lemon. Aisa bhi kya hain lemon main. Is it some Raaz part 5 that we are yet to know," Vidhi finally asked, tired of both of them reacting weirdly on any kind on *lemon encounter*.
Well, that was enough to make both of them turn into the colour of beetroot red. Actually, Aarti was more of Strawberry colour, as Yash used to notice each time she would be embarrassed or shy. But man, he must admit that colour suits her so well, and makes her look more and more edible. Control Yash!!!!! You don't want the family planning authority to run away you as it is, with already 4 kids. That was again something they used to kept arguing about. With Yash making a hatrick with their 3rd daughter, Yana, Aarti kept insisting on another child- a 5th one to be precise. Was she that much of a fool, Yash used to ponder. Like she should have got it by now that the X chromosome is the most dominant one in Yash's body. And then they already had Ansh, so he really didn't see where the need of another son came from.
Stop getting into previous thoughts Yash, at least not when they are stuck in such an embarrassing situation like this. But he really wanted to know what would his dear wife say. After all, they are facing this question of their beloved Bhabhi because of Aarti only na. This will teach her about teasing him all the time.
"Oh c'mon Vidhi Bhabhi, why are you asking this. Mujhe toh lagta hain k it must be personal. Tabhi toh dekhiye donon kitne laal hogae hain. Kyun Aarti Bhabhi, theek kaha na maine?", said Pari while winking mischievously at both of them.
"Woh, errrmmm, Bhabhi...actually,..."
Damn. Now Yash was actually curious and kinda *tensed*. Would she really tell them. OMG!!! All would tease him to hell then, and knowing Aarti what if she told them all in detail, as in imitating him, those gestures and all. Kalti maar Yash Beta, your dumbo wife is in for making a fool out of you today. But what about the Bhel???? Well, izzat zyaada pyaari hain. Bhel gayi bhaar main. Am sorry Pari.
"Oh God, main toh bhool hi gaya, mujhe toh Mr Sharma ko phone karna tha, Excuse me ladies," with that Yash went out of the kitchen, actually out of the house itself to breathe in some cool air. God knows how *hot* he felt inside the kitchen, all due to his pyaari dharampatni. Time for some work, thought Yash knowing very well that his wife might have again cooked some *khidchi* of hers to avoid Vidhi Bhabhi's question. That was the one thing she was very good at.
*****************************************************
SCINDIA HOUSE- 9 PM - DINNER TIME (All kids and Baby Yana khake so gaye ;)) )
"Yash Bhaiyya, can you please pass me the Lemon pickle," asked the sweet Paridhi.
Lemon. Again Lemon. But Yash, lemon toh woh roz khaati hain na. Pregnant lady she is. Still, why did she ask this from him only when her husband was nearer to that thing, well, the pickle he meant, the lemon pickle. Yash passed the pickle to her but not before glancing into Aarti's direction suspiciously. Did she, by any chance, tell them about that night. But the serious look on Aarti's face made him shrud the idea off. Na, she wouldn't have done so. It's already been more than a year and if she had to do it she would have done it way before. Khana Kha Yash, Lemon is really taking a toll on you it seems.
"Areh Mummyji, main toh bhool gayi. I need to buy few things but Ramdulare is on a leave, and woh toh kaam ke silsile main out of town gaye hain aur iss halat main toh Prateik has to stay with Pari. Toh if you give us permission, can Aarti and I go tomorrow?"
"Of course, Beta, there's no need to ask. Acha suno, you kids have your dinner, am going to rest in my room. Am feeling a bit tired. Theek hain. Goodnight." And then she went.
"Waise, Bhabhi, what is it, tell me, I will get them for you. Besides tomorrow I need to buy few things too," said Yash, the sweetest devar one can ever have, actually the 2nd sweetest, since Prateik takes the lead in this case- well that's because he butter them with his cooking skills, thought Yash.
"Sure Yash Bhaiyya? You won't have any problem na?"
"No bhabhi, of course not."
"Hmmm, so tomorrow buy us 2 Lemon Shower Gel, one for me and one for Pari. It has the best smell out of the different flavours, you see. Aisa Aarti ne kaha hain. Kyun Aarti?," said Vidhi bhabhi with a naughty wink.
And with that Aarti, Pari, Prateeik along with Vidhi started laughing. Poor Yash. It seems he had underestimated his wifey. She, eventually, did spill out everything. He so wished that the dining table would consume him right at that moment. Still, he managed to keep up a straight face. After all, izzat ka sawaal tha na.
"Why are you all laughing??? Aisa kya kiya maine. I just made her smell me, I mean smell the lemon Gel, and that too, because she was having some weird vomit sensations. Toh since Madam couldn't wait for me to bring a proper lemon, I made her smell me for I had just showered with the lemon Gel. Paap thodi na kiya hain. She is my wife aur phir it eventually helped her na. In fact Prateeik, I would suggest you to try it as well. At least at night you won't have to wake up several times. You just have to sleep with your wife in your arms and you're guaranteed a full night's tight sleep. Haina Mast Idea?" Yah said it all in one go, not realising how they were all staring staring at him with their mouth forming an *O*, with the exception of his biwi of course.
"What???? Ab aap sab ghoor ghoor ke kya dekh rahe ho?"
"OMG, Yash Bhaiyya!!!! You really did that. I can still not believe this, you made Aarti, hahahahahaha, you made her sm hahaha sme... smell you??? Humein toh Aarti ne kuch aur hi kaha tha. But that was really funny actually. I still cannot believe that our rough, tough man did this. Aarti, I wonder how you kept this in your tummy all these days, hihihihi."
If looks could kill, Yash would have already been dead by now. He was sure that his wife was mentally cursing her under her breath. And then why wouldn't she. He actually just spilled the beans HIMSELF. He blurted everything when Aarti had already cooked up some story to feed them earlier.
"By the way, Bhaiyya, kya solid idea diya hain aapne. Am surely trying this formula as from now. Good bhaiyya very good. And thanks for such a brilliant idea," said Prateeik, not without breaking into a fit of laughter certainly.
With their teasing comments, Yash felt as if he was growing into some kind of a balloon, with air keeping on filling it which would be bursted by his lovely wife the moment all the family members would be out of their sight.
"OMG, I just remembered ke..."
"you have to call Mr Sharma regarding work," said the trio in unison. "It's an old excuse Yash Scindia, try something new," and with that they trio left the couple alone in the dining room.
*****************************************************
Pin drop silence. No one talked. Aisa Kyun , thought Yash!!!!
*Kuch tum kaho, kuch hum kahe, nanananan,* Aahhh Get a grip Yash and better initiate a convo yourself else your JKR will make you sleep on couch tonight. Besides, you are not to be blamed, and it isn't as if the world has come to an end. These petty incidents do happen everywhere. So yea, there's nothing wrong except funny here. Yash was lost in his thoughts, when he felt his cheeks being pulled by,errrmmm, well that was his wife who looked a psycho - a sexy one though- while she kept laughing. What the hell was that now?
"eww ummm yyyaaa"
"Oh Yashji, you looked so cute on being teased and embarrassed ke poocho mat. I wonder how I controlled in front of all," said a laughing and blushing Aarti.
"eww ummm yyyaaa"
"What!!! Oh yea, sorry," said Aarti realising that she has been pulling the cheeks of his Sexy Lemon Man for too long.
"Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho?" asked a suspicious Yash. Well, wasn't she throwing those deadly glares towards him few minutes back. "I thought tum gussa thi."
Letting out a giggle, Aarti replied, "Woh toh bas ainvayi thi, you know I love teasing you na."
Yash just rolled his eyes. He was right. Women!!!!! Kiss material se banaya hoga God ne unhe. Phewww.
"By the way, I have a surprise for you Yashji."
Finally, pushing his thoughts away, Yash pulled her towards him, on his lap, with his arms encircling her waist.
Placing his face in the crook of her neck, he asked huskily,"Surprise, mere liye, kya baat hain Mrs Scindia????"
"Hmmm", replied a nodding Aarti.
"What is it?"
"I guess it's time for my Lemon Man to get back into action."
Yash knew no more than lifting an eyebrow questioningly.
"I mean, I guess this time, we will finally have our Aayyu, Am pregnant Yashji."
Pregnant. She just said she is pregnant. 5th kid on the way. Yash Beta tu toh gaya.
"Yashji!!!!! Yashji!!!! YASH????????????? Aaap sun rahe ho na??? Aaap khush to ho na??? Khush kyun nahi honge, after all Mummyji and Bauji wish' will finally be completed..."
And then she kept blabbering while Yash kept thinking what all would be in store for him with her coming cravings while not once realising the JI being cut from his name.
She is PREGNANT. His wife is Pregnant. They shall be expecting their 5th kids. And agar twins ya triplets hua toh. With Aarti anything is possible. But Pregnant. How, Kaise, When????
Lemon Effect it seems ;))
