"Bhaiyya... Ask all your questions about Aarti bhabhi later as we have to move now to her house" said Pratik trying to escape from Yash.
Yash was left confused and start to move out from his room...
**************************************
They were on the way to Aarti's house. All of Yash's family members followed along except buaji and PayPal as they had music classes to attend. They arrived at Aarti's house after half an hour. His family was well invited and welcomed by Mr. Dubey and Shobha. He greeted both Dubey and Shobha and takes their blessings. He went in and sits down at the couch. He felt uneasy and uncomfortable for his confrontation with Aarti later on.
He saw everyone was busy talking and interacting with each other while he was keeping quiet all the time. He doesn't know what happened to him as his eyes were busy searching for Aarti. Finally, he heard some sounds... like sound of someone's anklets from upstairs. Seems like maybe Aarti is coming down from the stairs.
Aarti who was completely unknown about Yash and his family presence at her house, begins to ask her father in a loud voice, "Bauji... when they will be...???" she stopped after realizing that everyone... Yash and his family and also her parents were looking at her.
She didn't know what to do. She hits her head with her hand feeling shameful. She started to realized that she didn't even wear proper outfits for her engagement ceremony.
She started to move upstairs but suddenly Gayathirii come and stopped her by grabbing her hand. She said to Aarti, "Arey...Aarti beta! Wait...!!! You don't have to go anywhere."
Aarti stopped herself and turned to look at Gayathirii. She started to say nervously "I'm sorry, Auntyji! Woh.. actually..."
Before Aarti could continue speaking, Gayathirii cuts her words and told her... "You're big now, Aarti! Did you know, the last time we met you were when you were 5 years old. Then you moved to London and never came back to look once at us."
Aarti looked puzzled and shocked after listening to Gayathirii's words. She was speechless and confused. At the same time, Yash looked towards them and was surprised hearing his mom's words. He felt uneasy looking at Aarti who looked confused and little worried. He immediately walked towards them as others kept watching Aarti, curious to know her reactions, especially Pratik and Vidhi.
While walking, Yash was trying to process his mom's words...
"What??? Last saw her when she was 5 years old? Is she kidding me and Aarti? I mean my mom is saying this? Oh, God! Then why I never knew Aarti earlier?" he paused and started to flashback what had happened yesterday night! "Oh... Now I realized what was actually Pratik and Vidhi bhabhi trying to hide from me yesterday! But wait..., look at Aarti... She looked like she never knew anything... Then what had actually happened when she came to meet Pratik yesterday!? I have to find out about these..."
Meanwhile, Aarti was thinking too while looking at Gayathirii who was still talking all the way'
She thought... "Oh, really? I hope she's not joking"
"Aarti...Aarti!!! Why are you so surprised dear? Didn't you recognize me?" said Gayathirii while shaking Aarti's shoulder and looking at her. She smiled and continue saying to Aarti' "Wait...I'll show you an old photo of mine and you on my mobile.
At the same time, Yash reached the place they were standing and saw Gayathirii was walking to the living room to take her mobile.
He was observing Aarti's reaction as he himself was very surprised after listening to his mom's explanation about Aarti. Aarti who is still being shocked with great surprise stood there like she had been receiving some electric shock. Observing Aarti's reaction, he immediately took his hand to shake Aarti's shoulder a bit. Aarti was finally aware that she was lost somewhere where then she moved her gaze towards Yash. Yash realized that Aarti gave him a silence angry gaze towards him. Her eyes showed the "How dare you touched me" look!
Without any intervening time, he directly withdraw his hands and takes the opportunity to talked to her about this'
"Aarti...Please do not give me such glance! I swear that I didn't even know..." he tried to explain but then Aarti cuts his words'
"Shut up, Yash! I never know these! How could you do this? You already knew me before and yesterday, when you met me and take me to the abandoned house, you couldn't be bothered to tell me all these! And you can be so shameless and seducing to try to kiss me, huh? Ciihhh! Don't ever..." before Aarti could try to finish whispering to Yash all her words, Gayathirii interrupted in between.
She abruptly took Aarti's hand and asked her to look at the photo properly...
Aarti stared on the picture carefully. Her eyes widened once she start to observe the picture. Meanwhile, Yash kept looking at Aarti's face, trying to identify her exact response towards the photo.
"Aarti beta...Now did you recognize me?" Gayathirii asked her, putting a big smile on her face.
Aarti didn't know how to react. She felt like she is wasting her time here. However, in a corner of her heart, she felt good knowing that her childhood memories are alive back after long time ago. Aarti began to smile. At the same time, Yash was speechless after perceiving that Aarti might be happy knowing about something.
Aarti began to speak...
"Oh, aunty! Happy to see you back after a long time! Actually woh kya hai na' I'm little confused and astounded about the fact that I knew you, Yash and whole of Scindia family' I guess?!" She adjusted her gaze at Yash now. Yash was smiling looking at her. He probably is again in fantasy after hearing to Aarti's voice...
"Yeah, dear! You knew us, Aarti! Maybe you will take some time to recognize us back! This mean that you have to spend some time flashing back by looking back some old photos of you and Yash and with whole of your family!"
Aarti gave a fake smile to Gayathirii. Yash spoke to Gayathirii'
"Maa.. You didn't tell me'"
"Yash...Yeah! I know beta... here you go! Take a look"
Aarti was glancing at his face. She is very angry and felt irritated of Yash. She almost felt angry of herself that she will be marrying with him for Ansh. Yash had the same expression like how Aarti responded. His eyes were widened too and it turns bigger and bigger.
Gayathirii started to tease him... "Arey...You too! You are giving the same reactions like how Aarti responded to me! Truly na, both of you never changed for years!!!" she said while moving her hands to pull AarYa's ears' Aarti was in extreme surprise with Yash along...
Aarti couldn't take the pain, started to whisper slowly... "Ouch!"
Yash immediately shift his gaze at Aarti once she whispered in pain. Yash pretends to be like a 'real' man and didn't say out any word but his expression simply described that he is in pain too!
Unexpectedly, Yash hit Aarti's shoulder when he tried to free himself from his mom who was busy teasing both of them. Aarti immediately gave Yash a dead and angry stare at him. Yash saw and shook his head.
"Maa.. please!!! Please leave our ears, please!!!" he said.
"Haan...Now you talk too much! Why should I left both of you just like that? I was right! Both of you never changed since childhood time! I mean both of you got habits of following each other's behavior and reactions which made me surprised. Now, I'm glad as both of you are going to be married soon after experiencing a lot of pain in life! Believe me, both of you will get more colorful and beautiful life after this since you have your own kids and moreover you are childhood friends." said Gayathirii while loosening her pull towards their ears.
Aarti couldn't bear the ache anymore and start to move little left towards Yash and accidentally, she bangs her head with Yash' She felt like his head is not less hard like wall or a stone. Now, Yash gave her a cold look. The moment his gaze was on her, she adjusted her eyes to some other places. Yash felt like she was teasing him and he was teasing her too. This time, he wanted her to Voice out something as he wants to hear her Voice...
He spoke to himself, "Common Aarti'! Say something! Don't you feel the pain?"
After a few seconds, Aarti who like has been listening to Yash's words begin to speak'"We're sorry! Auntyji.. Please stop it! We're absolutely in pain!"
"If you are requesting, then I'll leave both of you! If Yash would ask me to leave his ears, I would never do that!" said Gayathirii while laughing.
She left their ears and both Yash and Aarti sigh in relief. Aarti looked at Yash and started to giggle as she saw Yash's ear was in red color. Yash saw Aarti was laughing at him and raised his eyebrows to Aarti, asking whether there is something wrong with him. Aarti looked down while tucking her hair behind her ear. Yash was busy gazing at Aarti.
Aarti saw Shobha was moving to upstairs and she wanted to help her to bring some stuffs for the guests. She then saw Shobha was struggling to take two trays of things. A tray was filled with sweets and another one was filled with many bits of rose petals. Looking at her struggling, Aarti stepped forward and bump on Yash. Her hands were literally placed on Yash's chest while Yash's hands were on her shoulders. Yash was looking at Aarti lovingly while they shared a short eye-lock.
Meanwhile, Shobha put the tray of rose petals down and it was just placed right above the place where Yash and Aarti were standing.
Aarti realized that she has to go and help Shobha. Hence, she broke the eye-lock session. Aarti lost her balance while stepping backward. Right at that moment itself, Yash held her tightly by holding her waist and Aarti almost grab Yash's sherwani and later on, she placed her hands on Yash's shoulder unknowingly. Aarti felt a chill as she could feel Yash's touch.
Suddenly, wind blew so strongly when Shobha ma tried to move down to put the tray of sweets first on the dining table downstairs. The wind causes the bits of roses petals to fly in the air and they chose to settle themselves on Yash and Aarti. AarYa were showered with bits of roses petals and they shared a long eye-lock this time. Yash was busy gazing Aarti's eye intensely while still holding her tightly from falling and Aarti felt like she had melted after she had observed that those sexy eyes were on her all the time. They did not even care about their surrounding as they were lost in their own world. The bits of rose's petals continue to fall on them which later on made Shobha and other family members were surprised looking at Yash and Aarti in near falling position.
Vidhi and Pratik were giggling looking at them. Pankaj was doing some faces towards Vidhi, like teasing her if that would happen to them. Vidhi blushed and shook her head to Pankaj who then laugh silently.
Aarti tried to free herself from Yash after realizing that the roses had stopped to shower them. Yash did not even miss a glance looking at Aarti. His eyes were all glued on Aarti's beauty. Yash stared at her eyes intensely and again his eyes rested on her lips. He began to frown as he could not look at the lips fully. He discovered that there was a petal of rose on her lips. He immediately took his hand to remove it from her lips. Yash slowly removed the petal of rose from her lips and slightly touch and brush her lips with his hand.
"Arey, you both! What are you doing? You will soon be romancing! Don't worry as your marriage day will not be too far from now! We will try our best fixing the date as soon as possible! Understand?" Gayathirii said looking at them.
She was shocked to see that they were not responding to her words. She slightly shouted, "Yash!!! Aarti!!!" Aarti finally heard that they were being observed by everyone. She felt embarrassed and blushed while Yash was still lost looking at her. She said, "Yash!!! Please leave me! Look, everyone is looking at us!"
Yash now started to look around and realized what he had done, actually not he, they. He made Aarti stand properly and both of them looked down when Gayathirii came near them.
Gayathirii laughed looking at their expressions and said "Chalo! Come with me! Let's talk about the engagement and marriage." Yash smiled but Aarti became restless and she whispered to her heart, "Oh My God! This shouldn't happen! I have to escape! If not..." Aarti immediately said, "I can't aunty! I have to go!"
Gayathirii frowned and replied to her, "Where you want to go at this time, huh? Don't you know we came here to fix your marriage with our son, Yash!" She began to scold Aarti.
Aarti was scared and shocked. She didn't know what to say...
