Chapter Ten
The next morning was very busy, and evryone got up as early as half five to be ready and reach Manhortra Mansion on time. This was excluding Shashank who insisted on being woken up at half past seven, and said he would be down for eight. At 7:45 am the Rais entered the Manhortra house. Exactly five minutes later two more cars pulled up consisting of Millind and Araina in one, and Aziz and his beloved di in the other. Getting out both Araina and Prateeksha had worn Shalwar kameez with fitted and short kameez, looking gorgeous. Entering the house they saw everyone sitting down with five small food piles on the table for the journey there. It was 7:59 am and everyone was down except for Shashank. At exacty eight everyone head turned toward the staircase and to everyone suprise Shashank was coming down wearing light blue jeans and White fitted tee, fixing his watch. He came and took blessings of all the elders and sat down in between Ronak and Prateeksha.
'Chalo, I'm extremely pleased everyone is here on time. without any further wait let's set off. Millind you go first with the Dadis' Subhash said. The three left with their food.
'Abb hum nikalte hai. Bacho 'abb tum three cars mein split hojo and leave as well.' With all elders fine the kids stood up and stood in a circle.
'I have a plan we will pick names out of a hat to see who we drive with. So in this hat are Araina's, Prateksha's and Suhaani's name. Whoever picks the name drives with them. Evryone okay with that' Shashank said. First up was Aziz, he picked a small paper up and opene it.
'Suhanni' he said. Both smiled and left with their food. Ronak was next. He picked up his paper reading,
'Araina' he said whilst smiling.
'Settled. Prateeksha tum meri sath hoon. The four left the house reaching outside. Ronak and Araina left in Ronak's black BMW. Getting into Shashanks convertible, Prateeksha somewhere felt glad she was with him.
With their home city left far behind for two weeks, Prateeksha and Shashank where well on the way to the farmhouse. It was about an five hour car journey, so the food was a good idea. As they were the last to leave they were well behind Millinds and Vikrams car. Aziz had left almost immediatly as well, so Ronak and Shashank were near to one anther. Being boys both had resulted into racing each other. It was tough as both brothers where exprinced drivers, as they passed at the age of seventeen, as soon as they were allowed. Know with both being twenty five, it had been eight years. After about an hour of racing, both brothers got bored and started driving normally but didn't let each other over take so where driving at the same speed.
'Prateeksha, you're really going to like it here. The farmhouse is such a peacful place you will miss it once we leave.' Shashank said.
'I can't wait to see it.' Prateeksha replied.
Shashank looking at Prateeksha he felt something inside for her. Everytime he saw her, he always wanted her to stay and never leave. He didn't know what this feeling was.
'Er, Prateeksha, can I ask you something?' Shashank said.
'Haan, bolo?' Replied Prateeksha.
'Have you ever been in love with someone?' he asked.
Suprised at his question, she looked at him straight in his eyes. Staring back, he waited for her answer.
'Nahin, abhe tak to nahin' she said in the slightest whisper. Smiling Shashank looked back at the road.
'Urm, if I say I think I'm falling in love with you, what would you say.' Shashank asked.
Suprised Prateeksha looked down whilst blushing.
'I would say, I think I am falling in love with you too' she replied with her head still down, blushing.
'oh okay.' Shashank said, not realising That both of them had just addmitted their feelings for one another.
Five minutes later, Shashank stopped the car, which meant Ronak raced ahead.
'Kya!! What did you say' Shashank said.
'I think I'm falling in love with you too' She said in a whisper once again.
Slowly bring his finger upto her face he lifted it with her chin. Both know staring into each others eyes, Shanshank knew this was for real, and his feelings were true.
'Aur agar yeh kuch aur hain, pyar nahin?' asked Shashank.
'Nahin hain. Mujhe pura yakeen hai ke yeh pyaar hi hain' she replied.
Caught up in the moment he leaned forward, and lightly kissed her on her delicate cheek. She blushed, and closed her eyes. Kissing her other cheek, she couldn't take it anymore an leaned forward close to Shashank and hugged him. Returning the hug, both stayed in each others embrace for a while. Letting go, and sitting back on the seat again, Shashank started the car and took Prateekshas hand and out it on the gear box. Covering her hand with his, he started to drive again, with both hands on the gear box. When Prateeksha didn't take her hand out of his clasp, he knew this was only Love.
Meanwhile in the other car, Ronak and Ariana, had talked a lot, telling each other about their families, likes, dislikes. Everything.
'Araina how old are you know?' Ronak asked.
'Ronak you already know. I'm twenty. Why?' she relplied.
'Aur what year college are you in?' he asked.
'Second, two more years then I'm finshed with studies' she replied.
Silence for couple of moments spread in the car.
'Kyon?' asked Araina.
'Because I'm twenty five, at the moment, aur mein doh saal ke baad twenty seven. Phir humhare shaadi. I just wanted too see how old I would be on my marrige. Twenty seven, not bad. Ideal age' Ronak said.
Blushing at the mention of a wedding, both continued to talk lightly. It had been exactly four hours, and there was on hour left.
Millind had Enough. For the past two hours, the dadis ha been constantly bickering, at who was better at cooking. Both had bought up so many dishes, millind had got so angry he wanted to scream. After about ten more minutes, they finally both went quiet agreeing they both were the best cooks in the world. Millind finally sighed, and hoped the next fifty minutes would be peaceful.
In Aziz and Suhaanis car, they both had got on really well, becoming great friends. Neither of them knew how, but they really liked to talk to each other, despite their opposite personalities. Ten minutes to arrival, and in Vikrams car a serious topic had arisin.
'Nandita Hume 'abb Ronak aur Shashank ki shaadi ki barre mein sochna hai.' Subhash said.
'Yeh sain hain. Magar 'abb hum soh nahin theen families hai. Sabse phelie Millind ki shaddi karne hai. Woh 'abb thirty hone wala hain, uske shaadi ka time hain.' Vikram said.
'Vikram sain baat ki hai tumhne. Humhe 'abb jald se jald Millind ke shaadi karne chahi hain.' Subhash said.
'Meri nazar mein ek ladke hai. Uska naam Devika hai. Educated and very tradional girl. App kahin toh baat chale' Sonia said.
'Haan. Ek karm karte hai. Pehle Milind se baat karte hai, aur agar usko koi etraaz nahin hai, hum wapas jakee baat karenge.' Subhash suggested.
'Teek hai, hum kal hi baat karlegi.' Vikram said.
Everyone had neared the farmhouse, with about five minutes to go. The ride for evry car had been very successful. Prateeksha and Shashank had admitted their feelings for one another. Aziz an Suhaani were getting closer. Araina and Ronak had decided they were going to be together forever, the parents had decdied for a wedding and the dadis had concluded that they both were amazing cooks. Millind on the other hand had realised never to drive with the Dadis.
Millind reached first, witht he parents following, Aziz's car pulled up next, followed very closly by Ronak and Shashank who had again raced to see who would get there first.
'Dude you lost.... I win!' Screamed Ronak.
'Oi no you did not.... I won!' Shashank screamed back.
Both brothers started fighting, and Araina went upto Prateeksha andatood next to her, linking her arm with Prateeksha.
'Lagta hai ki Shashank Bahia, baut jalde jiju bane wale hain' Araina whispered so only Prateeksha heard. Shocked she turned toward Araina.
'Di app ke cheri se saaf patha chal ra hain ke app ne aur Shashank Bahia... Oops, mera 'matlab hai Jiju ne apna pyaar ka ishaar kiya hai' Araina whispered once again.
Blushing she hugged her little sister, 'Di I'm very happy for you!' Araina said.
Letting go of each other, they saw Ronak and Shashank still fighting.
'Araina lagta hai ke in dono bahi kabe nahin larna ban karenge' Prateeksha whispered. Araina laughed and smiled. She would never have to leave he didi know.
'Boys!' Shouted Subhash. Ronak and Shashank went quiet almost immediatly.
'Look at you age, an your fighting like when you both were two.' Subhash continued.
Ronak and Shashank burst out laughing and gave each other a hug.
'Love you brother!' Ronak said.
'Me too, me too' Shashank said.
Everyone picked their luggage up and went inside. Entering the house they saw a farmhouse which was nearly as big as Manhortra Mansion. It was a three story house, with huge acre of land behind. It was complety modernised, and had a family feel to it.
Sitting down everyone was exhausted with the drive. Ramu kaka came I gave eeryone water and left to prepare the evening meal.
'I think everyone should get some rest. Toh, Suhaani you can go your normal room. Dadis share. And us parent have one room each between us. Ronak and Shashank can share a room, so Millind and Aziz can then share a room. Aur there is one room left for you girls.' Subhash said whilst allocating the rooms.
Everyone went upto their respective rooms and rested. It was now half eight in the evening, and Araina and Prateeksha both went s downstairs to see if everyone else was awake. To their suprise no on was awake. Sitting down they both decided to watch some tv.
'Ronak I think I need to tell you something today.' Shashank said whilst freshening up.
'Shoot!' Ronak said.
'Urm Im falling in love.' he said.
Laughing he went to Shasank and hugged him as well, just like he had sone three says back.
'Don't tell me you already know?' Shashank said.
'Can't dent it brother. Woh meri girlfriend hai na, baut hi bolte hai. On the way up, it slipped fromthw mouth' Ronak said whilst laughing.
'Oi woh teri girlfriend ki barre behen se pyaar hogaya mujhe.' Shashank said.
'I'm afraid brother I know that as well. In dono beheni ni hum doh bahi ke dil churalye hai!' Ronak said in a filmy tone. Laughing at this remark, they continued to chat.
'Toh Prateeksha... Meta 'matlab hai Prateeksha Bhabie ko unka devar kaisa laga?' Ronak asked.
'Baut hi mast' Shashank said. 'Aur teri bangaye meri sali' He continued.
Both Ronak and Shashank continued talking, and joked in a completly hindi film stlye mood. After getting ready they went down at nine. Reaching downstairs they saw both sister sitting on the sofa.
'Yeh dekh mera bahi, humari hone wale ithar hai' Ronak said.
'Chal meri bahi, inki darte.' Shashank whispered.
Creping uptown the back of them, they both pubthere hands infront of them and reached out towards their shouldars.
'One.... Two......Three.... BOOOOOOO' both brothers screamed. Scared with the sudden noise both Araina and Prateeksha screamed. Getting up they saw, both brothers giving each other a high five.
'Tum!' Both girls screamed. Looking at each other, they picked up a pillow and ran after the boys. Araina went for Shashank, whilst Prateeksha went for Ronak. They ran after them hitting them when possible.
'Sali ji, chordo na. Masak tha' Shashank said whilst joking. Araina got more angry and raced after him hitting him with the pillow even more.
'Apne devar ko inta kyon marre ho!' Ronak said.
'Kya devar!!' shocked.
'Haan devar. Manta hoon ki mein air Shashank ek hi age ki hain, but I'm still four months smaller, so rishta mein, main apka pyaara sa devar.' Ronak said whilst running.
'Phir devar ji, run, I'm going to hit you hard' Prateeksha replied.
This cotinued until all four of them got tierd and flopped down on the sofa. Ronak took Arainas hand in his, and clapsed it. Whilst Shashnak took off his chain which he was wearing, pulled Prateeksha forward and clasped it around her neck.
'From today you are mine. My feelings for you are serious, and I'm sure I'm in love with you.' Shashank said.
Touched at what Shashank said, she hugged Shashank. Behind them, Robak wolf whistled, whilst Araina leaned close too Ronak and smiled.
Both couples got up and sat on the big sofa together, and watched tv until the rest decided to cone down.
Exactly one hour later everyone had fianlly come down and was siting on the dining table to eat diner.
'Wah Ramu Kaka, kya baat hai, meri hi favorite things hai!' Shashank said. Everyone laughed and ate dinner, then retired to the lounge.
'Dad what is the plan for tommorow?' asked Shashank.
'Erm beta, why don't we go sight seeing. That way millind, Aziz, Araina and Prateeksha can see what is around here' Subhash said. Agreeing the Dadis left to go to sleep, as they wanted to get up early to go to the mandir in the morning. The patents decided to leave as well.
'Idea! Let's play a game.' Ronak said.
'Na baba na. I'm not getting involved in any kind of games. I'm off.' Millind said and left befor anyone could stop him.
'Okay no more dropouts. Let's play truth or dare.' Ronak said.
The six left sat on the floor in a circle, and Shashank grabbed a bottle from the fridge to use as a spinner.
He spinned the bottle, and everyone watched anxiously at who it would stop at.
'Suhaani!' everyone screamed when it did so.
'Oh god, this won't be good.' Suhaani said.
'Truth or Dare?' asked Ronak.
'I'm going to regret this, but truth.' she replied.
It went silent until Aziz came up with a question.
'Suhaani tell us if you have a boyfriend?' Aziz said.
'Oi duffer we know she hasn't, I'll ask a question' Shahank said.
'No that's not fair. First question only. Aziz no I haven't got a boyfriend. Know I'm very tiers so I'm off' she said and got up running off so she wouldn't be put on the spit again.
Everyone called after her too stop, but she didn't listen. Ronak spun the bottle again and this time it landed on Aziz.
'Truth or dare?'
'Dare.' aziz said, sounding a but scared.
'Aziz we dare you too kiss Ronak on the lips' Prateeksha, Araina and Shashank said.
'WHAT! NO!' Ronak screamed. Aziz got up, bent down towards a scared Ronak, and out his hand over Ronaks mouth, and then kissed his hand. Getting up he went towards the stairs to leave.
'What no fair, Aziz come back!' Shashank said. But Aziz just left to his room.
'Okay from know on no one can leave the game. Agreed?' Shashank said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the game cotinued.
Spinning it landed on Shashank.
'Dare for me' he said almost immediatly.
'Jiju, app ko meri di ko......' Araina began looking at Ronak. 'Di ko... Di ko.... I want you to sing a song for my di.' Araina finshed. Liking the sound of Prateekha sat up intrested.
'I can't sing.' Shashnk said.
'Looser!' Ronak said.
'Fine wait. Urm this is or you Prateeksha,
Pehli Nazar Mein
Kaise Jaado Kar Diya
Tera Ban Baita Hai
Mera Jiya
Jaane Kya Hoga
Kya Hoga Kya Pata
Is Pal Ko Milke
Aa Jee Le Zara
Mein Hoon Yahan
Tu Hai Yahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Aa Bhi Ja
O Jaan-E-Jaan
Dono Jahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Bhool Ja Aa
O Jaan-E-Jaan
Dono Jahan
Meri Bahon Mein Aa
Bhool Ja Aa.'
Everyone looked shocked, at one how Shashank was a decent singer, and two he actually did it. Prateeksha was shocked and tears were forming in her eyes. She leaned into Shashank's chest and gave him a hug.
'I love you!' she whispered.
'Love you too!' hesaid back.
Returning to their normal positions the bottle was spun again. Landing on Ronak, he said truth.
'Since when have you been in love with araina.' Prateeksha asked.
'Since te first day I met her, and we danced, I wasntsure what it was then, but know Im site it was Love' Ronak said.
Araina smiled and lighlty kissed Ronak on the cheek.
'I think it's getting late, we should really go to sleep know. We need to get up tommorow as well.' Shahsank suggested.
'Brother that's the best idea you've had in all your life.' Ronak joked. Laughing all four of them got up, and went towards their respective rooms.
Reaching their rooms Araina and Prateeksha got into bed and both went to sleep.
Both brothers got into their room, as they both achieved a lot that day.
'Brother being in love is the best' Shashank said.
'Brother you where the last person I thought would fall in love, but yes true, Love is the best thing in the world.' Ronak replied.
Both brothers went to sleep, ending one the best days of their lives.
