Part 22:
Akash woke up with a yawn, looking at Manya resting on his chest. He smiled sweetly and kissed the top of her forehead, and then got up to take a shower. After taking a shower, Akash sat down on a chair and admired Manya sleeping.
A: You're truly beautiful, Cinderella...
Manya's eyes blinked as she opened them. Akash cleared his throat and pretended to be working. Manya laughed and went to the restroom. Akash turned around and watched her silently, smiling.
A: Cinderella, main khanna order kerta hoon!
M: AKASH!! NO!!
A: Kya hua?!
M: Tum airport pe jao!
A: WHAT?!
M: Airport pe jao!!!!
A: Kyun?! Honeymoon kisi aur ke saath spend kerne ka iraada hai, kya?
M: Aur kya! Main tho intezar ker rahi hoon ki tum jao aur main kisi bhi bellboy per toot peroon!!
Akash slammed the restroom door, laughing.
A: Maaaanyyaa!!
Manya giggled from inside.
M: Mere dost arahe hain, Akash. Tum please unhe recieve kerne jao na!
A: Kaun se dost?!
M: Uh..not really dost. Meri cousin aur uska husband.
A: And you invited them?
M: Haan!
A: HAMARE HONEYMOON PER?!
M: Akaaashh!!!
A: Tumne exactly unhe invite kab kiya?
M: Last night. Jab tum so rahe thay.
A: Kyun?
M: Becaaaussee.......
After a bit persuasion, Manya got Akash to go to the airport. She handed them a sign and pushed him out the door, rushing him.
A: Tho tum bhi chalo na!
M: Uh..nain, mujhe shower abhi laina hai...
A: Aur main vappas aya na, tho main kisi bellboy ko idhar udhar na dekhun!!
Manya giggled and pushed him out the door.
M: Don't worry, Akash. You'll know jab Do Not Disturb ka sign laga hoga!
Akash opened his mouth in shock as Manya laughed and shut the door. She watched out the window until he left...
=---------------------------------------------------
After about an hour and a half, Akash picked up his cell and called Manya.
M: HELLO?
A: Chila kyun rahi ho?
M: Oh! Uh..kuch nain..
A: Tumhari cousin nain ayee.
M: Oh yeah, usne call ki thi..
A: WHAT? And you couldn't tell me this?!
M: Bhool gayee...
A: Aur--aur tumhari saansein kyun ukhri hui hain? Manya, tum ker kya rahi ho?!
Manya giggled and hung up. Akash stared at the phone and pressed his foot on the raec pedal.
A: Agar mujhe koi employee dikha bhi na, tho uski tho!!
--------------------------------------------------------
He reached the parkway that led to the hotel and realized it was closed. He stepped out of the jeep and noticed a crowd singing and laughing.
A: Hey, excuse me!
Suddenly, Akash heard a familiar voice...
(Singing) Aye ho meri zindagi mein tum bahar banke...
Akash stared, squinting. The crowd departed and Akash saw legs, covered in a green "churidaar," make their way over.
Mujhe chod ke na jaana...haye...mujhe chod ke na jaana...
Akash started to grin sheepishly as he saw the familiar brownish hair flying in the air. Sure enough, out stepped his Manya, smiling, holding balloons.
Everywhere balloons went in the air as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai music played...fireworks burst as people clapped...Flowers flew from everywhere, landing on top of the couple...
M: Aye, Prince Charming...
Stay tuned š³
