Happy Holi Everyoneee!!!!
Part 12:
The next day, Manya was sitting in her backyard on a swing, reading a romance novel. She was deeply into the book when she heard footsteps behind her. Manya looked up, and just as she turned around, she heard a loud scream in her ears. She jumped, screaming, and realized it was Akash.
A: HAPPYYYY HOLI, MANYA!!!!!!
Manya laughed, realizing she had forgotten it was holi. Akash was wearing a white kurta suit, looking soo cute. Manya smiled secretly, admiring his interest in culture. She crossed her arms and looked at him.
M: The spoiled Akash Rathod celebrates Holi? Wow!
Akash rolled his eyes.
A: Oh, hello! Mujhe holi ka itna bhi shauk nahin hai..
M: Oh? Tho phir yeh white kurta--
Akash winked and leaned over to her ear and whispered,
A: Yeh sab tho iss liye thaan ki main tumhe holi ke rangoon mein bikher sakhun!
Manya laughed and pushed him.
M: Yeah right!
A: No,seriously! Come on; Om ke ghar ek friends ki Holi party hai! Tumhe mere saath jaana hoga!
M: Okay, let me change into something white...
Akash grinned.
A: Jaldhi karo, ma'am sahiba, kahin aapke intezar mein Holi guzar na jaye!
Manya rolled her eyes and laughed, running inside.
-------------------------------------------------------
Manya gasped when she saw all the people at Om's house.
M: Akaaash! Itne laug?
A: Tumhe kya? Tum mere saath rehna..
Manya looked up at him. He blushed and laughed.
A: I mean, ignore them...
Manya rolled her eyes with a smile. She got off the car as Om came over.
Om: Happy Holi Manya!!
He embraced her in a hug and winked at Akash from the back. Akash frowned.
A: Holi hai, Om. Raksha bandhan nain!
Om: Main Manya ko raksha bandhan vaale din kyun hug karun ga?
A: Kyun ki tumhi tho ho jo isse behnji kehte ho!
Om: Na! KEhta tha! But now...
Manya laughed. Akash looked at her.
A: Tum kyun hehe kerke hans rahi ho?
M: Meri merzi, Akash!
A: NO! You shouldn't laugh at these kind of people. Inko aur encourage MUTH karo, Manya!
M: Akash, tumhari problem kya hai?
Om: Yeah, yaar. Main Manya ko hug raksha bandhan vaale din nahin..Valentines day per karun ga!
Akash fumed with jealousy.
A: OM!
M: AKASH! What's wrong with you?
Akash looked at her and frowned angrily.
A: Tumhe kya? Tum jao na, holi khelo with these--sick people!
He walked off, making Manya laugh.
M: Tumhara dost bhi na, Om!
Om winked at her.
Om: Dil se majboor bechara!
M: Mathlab?
Om: Uh, nothing...tum jao na, ussai manao..
Manya smiled. She took a plate full of colors and tip-toed over to where Akash was standing by a tree, muttering something angrily to himself.
Manya stood on her toes and whispered in his ear,
M: Akash? HAPPY HOLI!!!
Akash spun around, startled, and Manya took the colors in her hand and threw them at his face, laughing.
M: Happy holi Akash!!!
Akash wiped the colors off his eyes and nodded.
A: Acha? Okay, ab meri baari tumhe holi wish kerne ki!
M: Not if you can't catch me, Akash!
She took the colors and began to run around. while running, she left the main yard and entered the backyard
where clothes were hung on wires. She in between them and saw Akash looking for her.
M: Akash!
Akash looked around, laughing.
A: MANYAA!! I HAVE TO WISH YOU A VERRRYY HAPPY HOLI!!!
Manya, who was wearing a churidarr pajama with a cute little kurta type of shirt, had her hair tied in the back. Her dupatta was coming down her right shoulder, tied at her waist. She was wearing a white "khussa" with a cute little chime on it. Just as she ran, her chime dangled and Akash heard it.
A: OH! Tho tum in kapdun mein chuppi ho?!
Akash grabbed a plate of colors and raced into the clothes. Manya giggled and hid behind a red dupatta, looking for him. She peered out and didn't find him.
M: Kahan--?
Suddenly, Akash leapt from behind her and grabbed her face. Manya laughed and tried to let go, but he held on tightly, laughing. He smeared her face with colors.
A: Now, Manya, HAPPY HOLI!!!!!!!
Manya grabbed his hands, trying to stop him from coloring her whole face, but Akash had her face red already with colors. The red dupatta fell on them, and from inside of it, Akash shrugged his eyebrows at Manya.
A: Like the holi?
Manya laughed. Just as Akash was about to say more, from the main frontyard, Om's voice rang.
Om: HOLI HAII!!!!!
Manya flung the dupatta off and raced off. She turned and stuck her tongue out at him. Akash ruffled his hair and muttered,
A: Om ke bhulane per tho aise baagi hai na--Humph!
He jogged afer Manya. He stopped short and smiled greatly when he saw Manya, her white dress and face colored in red colors, dancing with colors floatin around her. She kicked the colors on the ground and they floated up around her. Akash seemed oblivious to the rest, only seeing Manya laughing. He walked upto her and grabbed a handful of colors. Manya stopped dancing and stared at him, a little smile on appearing on her face.
Dho chaar din se lagta hai jaise...
Sab Kuch Alag Hai,
Sab Kuch Naya Hai...
Akash threw the red colors on Manya's face. Everyone stopped dancing around and stared. Akash stopped laughing and stood still, realizing what had happened. Manya stared at him, shocked.
The red colors that Akash had thrown had fell on Manya's head, straight, covering her whole "maang." It had covered her maang, filling it like a sindoor...
Akash and Manya stared into each other's eyes...
Kuch To Hua Hai...
