Sunday…..
Late morning cars left from various places of Mumbai…. Believe in marriage as a simple affair!?!?
The person who said that must have been really insane!
Aryan drove his car to Ajay's home, picking him and his mother… Then stopped at Neha's home picking her, her mother and her stuffs…. 😳
Vishal kept cursing about his car still stuck in the academy…. He didn't have time to get it repaired yesterday due to the problems…. And decided that would have to wait until the marriage was over and they were back….. Sandhya had very politely obliged to request the watchman to let the car be there….. How he felt making her do it!!!!!! He decided he had a debt on her and had to clear it off soon…. Wonder what she would make him do citing this as a reason!!!! 😃
So he and his mother took a taxi to Dipika's home and from there they drove on in Dipika's car…. Vishal had telephoned his father and insisted he join in the celebrations as it was long since his father had participated in anything like this…. Also it was long since he had met his father…. He really wanted to meet him….. His father had obliged promising to be there for the marriage….. On the way they stopped to pick Haseena and Boxer… Even Haseena's family was invited to the marriage but they said they would come next day for the sangeet function….
Boxer was careful enough to take all Haseena's medicines and her things…. He really cared about her…. ❤️ Why not? Her sixth month was going on and she was finding it a little difficult to handle herself! And Sandhya had informed them confirming it was twins…. His happiness had known no bounds…. The whole family was, hearing the news…. And it was an extra reason to celebrate…… But Abbas Ali Baig was always there for his Haseena Ali Baig! 😳
Sandhya and Aadhya said they would come on their own with her friends…. Because they had other stuffs to bring for the sangeet!
Cynthia, Mrs. Chatterjee, Zubin and Purvi came along in Shotgun's car….…. 😊
The whole group was leaving early today to check on the preparations confirm if all the services had reached properly…. Also with the mehndi ceremony the same evening…. They had lots to do!!!!!!!!!! 😛
Ajay and his mother had come two days back to check on the decorations and everything was fine…. The even manager had done a good job out of the house….. The team had decided to hand over the full responsibility of the marriage to the marriage agency! And now they felt it was worth the money they were spending! 👏
The tirade of cars leaving from various places of the city exactly met at the lane to the guest house half an hour later…. In a procession with Aryan's car in the front they drove to the guest house! 👍🏼
Everyone in an elated mood…. Looking forward to a celebration after months of working in and around crime!
It was a fairly big guest house set back a little from the beach…. And the house was also in secluded, secured area having large front lanes and so the group didn't have trouble parking their cars…
Having a big sprawling lawn in the front, the back of the house opened out to the beach…. The whole house was made of rocks rather than cement with green climbers decorating it… Now dotted with small budding flowers as the rainy season was just around the corner with the summer dwindling… Now in between the climbers long lights hung outside the house and they were all sure it would be a sight to watch them during night… ⭐️
As the group walked in few helpers from the agency who were working near by came to help them with their luggages taking them inside the house….
The group noticed, in the vast front garden a high tent was erected and chairs were stacked beside it…. They guessed it to be the marriage mandap which was getting decorated…..
Passing by it Ajay held Neha's hand, who turned to look up at him smiling…. Their D Day had finally come…. Both of them felt the pre marriage jitters in them… An excitement mounting day by day with just the thought that it was just more two days for marriage!
As the group entered the house they were surprised to see that it was more spacious inside than it had looked from outside….
The marriage supervisor welcomed them with roses and the group was pleased with such a warm welcome! He also spoke freely and was jovial with them….. The couple of the day, Neha and Ajay received a big bouquet each… Special for the to-be-wed, the supervisor said! 😊
Everyone walked around the house admiring its beauty…. There was a wide staircase at the end of the large hall directly opposite to the main door…. The stairs divided towards left and right joining in the first floor….
The other three rooms in the first floor were one to the left of the stairs, one to its right and one directly in the center of the first floor corridor… Coming out of the center room one could stand in the corridor and look down at the hall…
There was very few furniture in the house as no one lived there permanently…. But the few those were there, were worth its place in the house and fitted in perfectly…. A double couch, and two single couches…. A big diwaan at the right side of the hall…. Small wooden shelf beneath the stair case which held the telephone…. By the door there were other electronic equipments like the television and music player which was now packed ready to be moved to the store room…. So that the hall could be used for the marriage purpose….
As the group looked around the house they were also impressed with the decorations… It was still going on but was done beautifully with flowers and streamers and leaves…. Beautiful colored duppattas hung high above from the ceiling down to the floor!
Supervisor: (Showing them around the house) Sir neeche teen kamre hain…. Ek kitchen… Aur ek store room…. Upar teen kamre hain…. Apke liye sab set hai!
Sandhya and Aadhya had also reached the guest house…. Sandhya went around the house enjoying its chillness because of the stone and the beach air….
The supervisor seeing Sandhya went over to her, wished her as if he knew he from before…. He took her around the hall indicating something and accompanied her to the stairs….
The others who had taken enough beauty of the house were checking on the luggage and hence didn't notice this, but Vishal did…. Now what she doing with this supervisor?!!? Did she know him?!? But how? They had just come in then….. Something was fishy here…. 😈
The supervisor was showing her something by the staircase…. He pulled a rope and showed her that from both sides of the stair case curtains came in closing the stair case from the front end view of the house….. This curtain in the center of the house?!?! Vishal followed the curtain rung and saw that it was temporarily fixed on either side…. Something definitely fishy!!! And he intended to find out…. But for now…. It was the rooms they had to think about…. He took his bag and indicated Ajay and Boxer to follow him! 😉
As if on cue......
Mrs.Malhotra: Chalo sab… Jaldi settle ho jao… Shaam mehndi ki rasam ke liye taiyaariyaan shuru karni hai!
Everyone nodded and spread out to find rooms…. But even before they could think which room was for whom….
At the stair case…..
Vishal and Ajay carried their suitcases to the stairs only to be blocked by Sandhya, Cynthia and Purvi…. Dipika had already helped Haseena up and now stood surprised watching from the corridor upstairs…. What were the girls onto now?!? 😃
Vishal: (Sternly😳) Kya kar rahe ho?
Cynthia leant against one side of the stairs while Purvi leant on the other side, their legs touching each others on the stair…. Sandhya stood in the center arms folded….
Sandhya: Dikh nahi raha…. Raasta band hai!
Ajay: (Surprised😲) Raasta band hai!?!? Lekin kyun?
Cynthia: Kyunki upar ladke allowed nahi hain…. Aap log neeche ke kamre lenge! Aur hum... Yaane ladkiyaan upar ke!
At this the others also looked on wondering what was happening!
Shotgun: (Coming from behind) Are aise kaise? Hum jo bhi kamra chahe le sakte hain! Pehle kamre dekhne to chahiye!
Purvi: (Shaking her head) Tch tch… Nai…. Aankhein hain? Hain naa? To kamre ke darwaze par jo slip hai use pado!
Saying Purvi indicated to the right side room from the hallway….
Zubin went to the room and read aloud….
Zubin: "Groom's room!!!!!"
Cynthia: (Nodding her head) Haan… Aur vo (Indicating the right side room upstairs) Neha ka kamra… Bride's Room…. It's booked! Hume upar waala hissa chahiye…. Kuch taiyaariyaan karni hai!
Sandhya: Aur sangeet ki practice bhi…. Isliye ladkon ka upar aana bilkul banned hai! Atleast sangeet ke khatam hone tak!
Vishal: (Hands on his hips) What the?!?! Abhi aaye aur khud decide kar liya…. Hum bhi shaadi ke liye aaye hain…. Tumhare naani ka ghar hai? MANAGER! 😡
Vishal shouted for the marriage supervisor who had gone to the kitchen to arrange for the refreshments…. He came out running and asked stunned…
Manager: Sir! Kya hua? Any problem? 😕
Vishal: (Indicating the rooms) What's all this?!?! Kisko kya kamra dena hai ye tum kaise decide kar sakte ho? Humse poochna tha naa pehle?
Manager: (Puzzled😒) Sir main!?!? Maine to nahi…
Sandhya: (Coming down the stairs) Oh ho! Mr. Vishal Malhotra…. In par kyun bhadak rahe hain? Kamra inhone nahi maine decide kiya tha! (As Vishal looked bewildered, Sandhya said smiling) Vo kya hai…. Do din pehle main yahan aayi thi…. Sangeet ki preparations kuch karne… Tab maine (Stressing) decide kiya ki koun kahan rahega… Isme mujhe nahi lagta kisi aur ko koi problem hai!
Hearing this everyone smiled surprised looking at each other… Well this one was nice!!! 😊
Sandhya leant over towards Vishal and stroking his chin said….
Sandhya: Ye baazi bhi humari! (Winking she said to the other ladies) Chalo… Mehndi ki taiyaari karni hai! Inhe neeche lotne do!
Laughter echoed around the hall as Sandhya turned around fast, dashing aginst his shoulder and went off upstairs… 😆
Vishal: (Stumbling down few steps) Ouch! (Rubbing his shoulder glared at her 😡)
Cynthia and Purvi too went to either end of the stairs and pulled the curtains across shut! Now Vishal understood what the curtain was for! 🤔
The other ladies also smiled at the marriage nok jhok going on and left to get ready for the mehndi function that evening! 😳
Boxer: (To Vishal) Ab ye aisa karenge hum kaise soch sakte hain? 😔
Vishal: (Looking upstairs) Sochna tha Boxer… Maine kaha tha naa ki kal se ladkiyaan baazi maarne me lagi hain…. Lekin koi baat nahi… Abhi aur kayi baaziyaan aayengi in ladkiyon ko wapas karne… Ab chalo! 😈
All the guys nodded and went off to check on the rooms that were given or rather forced on them…
But the rooms down were also not so bad…. They were nice and spacious… The only reason they had wanted the upstairs room was they could have privacy… And from top checking on the girls' activities would have been fun… Also now the girls had privacy and they had no chance of knowing what they were planning for sangeet! 😃
