RECAP: Randhir shares wid sanyu that she is pregnant. They share a lovely moment together.
NEXT DAY, SHEKHAVAT HOUSEHOLD..
It was 7 in the morning. Sanyukta was fast asleep with her mouth slightly open, her leg onto randhir's and her head on randhir's chest. He was snoring slightly, wid his mouth open and arms wrapped protectively around her waist .Since it was a Sunday, neither were eny servants at home (With the exception of kaka) nor had the irritating alarm blared its sore throat. Everything was calm. There was no noise except the slight tunes which kaka hummed while watering the plants in the garden. But how were they to know that the peace was just about to be rudely shattered??
It was broken by the incessant sound of the door bell ringing. Since kaka was nearby, he opened the door and our two sleepyheads were not disturbed the slightest bit. He opened the door and two people stumbled in.
"Good morning kaka!!! Aap kese ho?? Aur, batao, hamare do do kumbhkaran jaage neend se ya Sunday ko pura dinn hi sone ka irada hain??" Asked Vidhushi, stepping inside the villa. Yes, the two early-morning visitors were none other than our Vidarth!! They had wanted to arrange sum fun plans 4 d weekend. But koi akele thodi na plans banata he? So they had taken it upon themselves to make a mission out of dragging sandhir out on this beautiful day. "Nahi beta... sahab aur memsahib abhi bhi so hi rahe he. Kal raat ko badi der tak kuch kaagaz (Papers) lekar baith gaye the. Kuch..do ya teen baje sone gaye the dono" Kaka said. "Accha, aap dono baithiye, ham dekh kar aate he" he said, and was about to go up to sandhir's room. But Parth forestalled him, saying "Arrey kaka...yeh dono ko, sirf dekhne' se nhi chalega. Inhe uthana, bas hame aata hain...aakhir chaar saal tak toh wahi karte aa rhe the! " and winked towards vidhushi. Kaka simply smiled at them, and made his way towards the kitchen.
Vidarth went upto sandhirs' bedroom and quietly opened d door,but the sight that they saw, left them, just "ANWWW"! For Sandhir were sleeping totally on top of each other, entngled up, with Sanyukta's head on Randhir's chest and his arms wrapped around her waist. "Anww parth...just LOOK at them!! How cute they're looking!!" Exclaimed Vidhushi. "Arrey vidu...ek baar hamari bhi shaadi ho jaaye...roz subeh main tumhe ese hi hug karunga!" He said, making her blush painfully red. "Kya tum bhi parth...kesi baatein karte ho" she said. "Abhi toh filhaal inn kumbhkarnon ko uthaya jaaye??" she asked, winking towards parth. They both made their way to Sandhir's bed. Vidhushi positioned herself near sanyukta and parth made his way to randhir.
"GOOD MORNING KUMBHKARANS!!!!!" They shouted in their ears
"What the..." an angry randhir said, waking up nicely. Sanyukta simply sat up in bed rubbing her ears, a pinched expression on her face.
"Parth...vidhushi!! Yeh koi tareeka hota hain jaganeka??? And couldnt u have chosen a more earthly time to come! Only devils roam at this unearthly hour" An exasperated randhir screamed at the two (un)welcome guests.
"Unearthly hour?? O shekhavat...teko andaaza bhi hain k kitne baj rhe he??" Vidhushi asked, a tad bit irritated now. She picked up randhir's mobile lying on the bedside table and shoved it in his face. "Saade saat baj gaye hain saade saat! Aaj k dinn me uthna bhi hain ya ese hi sona hain?" She asked angrily.
"Sanyukta uthoo!! Phir se so gyi yeh toh!! Arey randhir uthao isey!" Parth said, shaking sanyukta who had crashed onto randhir and slept off once again.
"Arey yaar parth...kya hain bhai...raat ko tumhara bestie sone nhi deta aur subah ko tum. Soyu bhi toh kab soyun main??" complained a sleepy sanyukta. What she had said was true, for, neither she nor randhir had slept till they were satisfied with their designs and even at 2am in d night randhir was ever-ready for a makeout session which had lasted another hour. All in all, she had not managed 2 catch quite enough sleep. But vidarth were not in a mood 2 understand that!
"Main kuch nhi jaanti sanyukta. Main aur parth ab niche jaa rhe hain n u better join us in 15 mins SHARP. Do u get that??" Hollered vidhushi. Sanyukta nodded her head and the duo trudged downstairs. Randhir looked at Sanyukta, whose head ws now in his lap, n snoring softly once again. He brushed some of the hairs from her face n bent 2 kiss her forehead. As soon as he did that, Sanyukta got up, settled down properly in his lap n hugged him. Randhir smiled at her antics and caressed her back.
"Sanyu...baccha utho...dekho parth aur vidhushi abhi itna chillakar gaye hain...15 mins me agar ham niche nhi gaye toh woh upar aa jayenge. N i'm sure u dont want them to see us like this, do u?" he asked her. She simply nodded her head in no, but refused to move from randhir's lap. Randhir smiled.
In one swift movement, he himself got up from the bed, picked sanyukta up and deposited her inside the bathroom. "Ab khud naha logi ya...usme bhi meri help lagegi tumhe?" he said and winked at her. She blushed, and shut the door with a bang.
In exactly 15 minutes, mr and mrs shekhavat were down at the breakfast table. Randhir was dressed in a light blue t-shirt with jeans while sanyukta was in her usual attire, dressed in a blue kurti and jeans. Both were complimenting each other beautifully.
"Impressive, I must say" said parth, looking the cute couple up and down while vidushi looked at her watch and nodded in approval. "Haan...dono ekdam time pe! Kya baat hain, shekhavat!" she said. "Haan haan devil...tumne subah subah ki romance kharaab toh kardi, kaheka time pe" randhir retorted and everybody started laughing. "So...breakfast now?" Sanyukta asked everyone when they were done with their stupid jokes. "Tumlog itni subah uthke aa gye, im sure kuch khaya nhi hoga. Right?" "Haan sanyukta..ham toh subah hi uthke aa gye he, socha tumlogon k saath breakfast bhi kar lenge n ajke kuch plans bhi bana lenge. Chutti hain, kahi ghumne chalte hain. What say..chale?" asked vidushi. Sanyukta was just about to reply in afirmative when randhir forestalled her."Nahi yaar vidushi...woh actually ham sanyu k ghar jaa rhe he delhi..toh..aaj nhi. Kisi aur dinn pakka" he said, and was met with three questioning pairs of eyes.
"Randhir...yeh kab decide hua k ham delhi jaa rhe hain??" asked sanyukta.
"Arrey sanyu...tumhe tumhare mom dad ko kuch BATANA nhi hain??" he asked, looking meaningfully towards her stomach. She put up a hand to where randhir was looking and blushed. "Oh ha...yaad aya. Sorry guyz...ham nhi aa payenge!" She replied, looking back at randhir.
"Oye sanyukta...yeh kya ishaaron me baat chal rahi hain haan??" asked vidushi "Zara hame bhi toh batao k esi kya baat he jo batane k lie tumlogon ko DELHI jaana pad raha hain?? Saare phone kya dead ho gye he??" asked a curious vidushi. Parth too couldnt control his curiosity. "Haan sanyukta...esi kya baat he jo tum phone pe nhi bata sakti??"
"Randhir...bata de inhe?" she asked, unable to control her excitement any longer. "Haan sanyu...thike, bata do" he replied, a 32-teeth wala smile on his face. Parth and vidushi looked at them and waited, patiently.
"Guyz...guyz I'm pregnant!" Sanyukta blurted out, a huge smile on her face. Parth n vidushi were stunned.
"U r ... whaat!!!" said vidushi immediately moving forward to give her a hug. "Iska matlab main mami banne waali hun!!" she said, happily. "Aur main chachu!!" Parth said, as he hugged randhir, and then sanyukta. "Congratulations guyz!! We're so happy for u both!!" said parth. "This deserves some serious celebration, doesnt it? I think we should celebrate today!!" vidushi exclaimed. Parth, randhir and sanyukta glared at her.
"I thought i had made it clear, vids. Ham sanyukta k ghar pe jaa rhe hain, uski mom dad se milne. I mentioned that not 5 mins ago n bhul bhi gyi tu??' Randhir asked.
"Arrey nahi baba...itni bhi bhulakkad bhi nahi hun main"she said, glaring back at parth and randhir. "What i mean is, k filhaal tum dono jaao delhi. Zyada se zyada kitni der rukoge?? Aaj raat tak toh waapas aani hi hain na..kyunki kal toh office he. TOh tumlog ek kaam karo. Abhi tumlog niklo, aur shaam tak wapas aa jana. Phir raat ko, ham sab dinner pe chalte he! Mom dad se milna aur hamari celebration - dono hojayenge!"
"Wow vidushi!! Solid idea diya hain tumne! Ham esa hi karenge" said sanyukta, smiling. "Haan" said randhir. "Aur tum yoyo, esther, tanya aur sahil ko bhi bula lena. Sab saathme milke celebrate karenge!"
"Kaash kaustuki yahaan hoti" sanyu said, wistfully, a teardrop escaping her eye. Kaustuki had been sanyukta's best friend, closer to her than a sister. After graduating from FITE, Kaustuki had married jiggy against her family's wishes, just like sandhir, who had helped them escape to norway when threatened. Now all was fine between the two families, but kaustuki and jiggy had settled down in norway by now. They weren't gonna come back to India, but they did manage to visit once a year at most.
"Arey sanyu...koi baat nhi na! Tum usey baadme phone par bata dena!" said randhir, wiping away sanyukta's tear with his thumb. "Abhi tum jaldi se ready ho jaao! ma papa se milni he ya nhi!"
"Haan sanyukta...tumlog jaao, ham bhi nikalte he. Taiyyariyaan bhi toh karni he na!" said parth.
"Arrey! Abhi jaaoge toh breakfast kya tumhari aatma karegi?? Baitho chupchap...breakfast karke hi jao" Sanyukta said, amused.
"Arrey ha...woh toh bhul hi gye" said parth. "Chalo breakfast karne, randhir, warna tumhari yeh sherni ham sab ko kha jaayegi"
"Abbey sherni k bacche! Ruk tu aaj shaam ko mil mujhe" said sanyukta, laughing. Filhaal toh chal...breakast karle." Laughing,talking and cracking jokes as they made their way to the breakfast table, they had a happy breakfast with the four of them together, sharing in the joys of the happy couple, soon to become parents.
