Heya! I'm back with another OS! (I know some people are thinking I should get something better to do in life! 😆)
This is a sequel to one of my favourite works, The Escapades of the Rajvanshi Siblings, which I guess is my only Hinglish piece! I'll link that below! Do like and comment on that as well! 😉
So, here it is!
PART II
"OhMyGod! Ragini move over! I can't drive!" Vivaan screamed, trying to steady the two wheeler. "Who's idea was this?! Couldn't we just go by car?!" Ragini screamed back, the blowing wind swallowing her words.
"Oh hello madam, tumne bhi dekha ki gaadi start nahi ho rahi thi! Mujhpe kyu chilla rahi ho?!" Their screaming contest continued.
"Chup karo tum dono! Aur Vivaan, gaadi theek se chalao!" Imli shouted over the both of them.
Yup. All three of them, THREE fully grown people, on an unfortunate Scooty.
"Theek se hi toh chala rahe hai! Ragini tum thoda dieting kar leti toh gaadi balance karna itna mushkil nahi hota!" Vivaan was agitated now.
"Excuse me?! Aane do Bhaiya ko, unse aapki shikayat karoongi!" Ragini hit him from behind, and Vivaan almost lost balance. Almost, cause Imli was with them, and if anything happened to her, ANY thing,
Suraj would literally beat him up (forgetting that Vivaan was his brother, *sobs*Apne huye paraye~), but her sister... her sister would never let him marry her anymore.
Speaking of Chakor brings us back to the actual reason why these three were going haywire on a two wheeler (The poor thing!). Suraj was coming back after a fortnight long business trip abroad (Munda kukkad kamaal da!) and they were going to pick him up from the airport. Chakor was kept in the dark about Suraj returning, since they wanted to surprise her.
"Kaunsa flight hai Bhaiya ka?" Ragini asked, scanning the computer screen for the currently arriving flights. "Wait, I don't remember the name... Just search for the ones arriving from London at around 10.30 a.m." Vivaan said, trying to search for the flight information in his phone.
"There are two, ek jo abhi abhi land hua hai aur ek aur jo delayed flight tha, woh 15 minute pehle land hua hai." Imli said.
Vivaan clicked his tongue, unable to find the info. "Chhodo Bhai, yeh batao ki Bhaiya hume kaise notice karenge? Unhe pata nahi hai ki hum unhe airport se lene aaye hai," Ragini asked. "Koi banner wanner laana chahiye tha," she added. "He would have noticed us easily."
Yes, since it was just SO hard to notice three adults prancing around the place like over excited kids.
Vivaan collapsed on a nearby chair, his back ached due to the uncomfortable drive. "Ab kuch nahi kar..."
"OhMyGod! BHAIYA! BHAIYA!" Ragini screamed, jumping up and down. The few men who turned immediately got bro-zoned. Vivaan stood up on his chair, waving his arms wildly. "SURAJ BHAIYA!"
Suraj's head shot up at his name, only to see his two siblings jumping around, his soon-to-be sister in law joining them. "JEEJU! We're here!" Imli shouted. The other few men who turned, sorry, yeh ladki bhi haath se gayi.
Suraj stood rooted to his place, his jaw slack as his phone almost fell out of his hands. For a second, he felt like turning and walking the other way, cause his siblings had done just such a great job attracting attention. He thought of pretending like he didn't know them, but all that was in vain when Ragini ran to hug him, knocking the air out of him.
"Bhaiya Bhaiya Bhaiya! We missed you so so sooo much!" She squealed, and Vivaan ran to hug him too, legit detaching Ragini from Suraj. "I missed you more Bhaiya! Ladkiyon ki chappad chappad se tang aagaye the hum."
"Oye!" Ragini shouted, and they wrestled around him, trying to hug him. Suraj snorted at their child like behaviour. It felt good to be back home.
Presently Imli came and hugged him, with a high pitched "Welcome back, Jeeju!" as well. "We've come to pick you up!" She announced, and Suraj felt immensely happy, pulling all the three of them into a bone crushing hug. "Thank you so much!" He said, his arm around Ragini as he picked up his briefcase, proceeding to collect his remaining luggage. He felt touched that they had come all the way to the airport, he really hadn't expected that. Perhaps it was time to acknowledge the fact that his younger siblings were finally grown up.
.
.
.
5 minutes later, all his 'touched' feelings, along with his 'big bro' ones, flew away with the non existent wind as they stood in front of the Scooty. What was this, Scooty ki Savaari, sequel to Ferrari ki savaari?
Calmly putting his bags down, Suraj hit Vivaan, hard.
"Bewakoof! Chaar log kaise jaayenge iss kataare par?!" He shouted. "Aur woh bhi luggage ke saath? Hey Bhagwan, bless these two with brains, PLEASE!" Suraj looked up at the sky.
"Bhaiya, yeh sab Bhai ki galti hai!" "Tu chup kar," Suraj said, holding the bridge of his nose, sighing. Ragini gasped in shock.
"Haan Bhaiya! Issi ne kharab kar ke rakha hai gaadi ko!" Vivaan accused as Suraj resisted the urge to hit him again.
"Fikar not, Jeeju! I've booked a cab. Paanch minute mein yahaan aa jaayega." Imli said, coming over to the Rajvanshi trio.
'Thank God, at least my Saali has brains,' Suraj mused. He glared at the two of them. "You both," he said slowly, and shivers ran up their spine, "will come by THIS gaadi." He said pointing to the Scooty. "And if it stops half way, leave it there and walk back home. Don't you dare call ME to come pick you up."
"But Bhaiya..."
"KHAMOSH!"
PS: The Scooty did stop half way.
PPS: Suraj came to pick them up 10 minutes later, all by himself.
***
Suraj was trying to sleep. Emphasis on trying. Because his siblings apparently believed he couldn't hear them whispering at the other side of the door. Irritated, he finally got up and threw open his room door, as they both recoiled in shock.
"Ab kya kaand kiya hai tum dono ne? Aur woh bhi raat ke 2 baje?!" He almost shouted. "Woh... Actually..." Ragini started, and paused for a while. Suraj was tapping his foot impatiently, arms crossed. "Humein bhook lagi thi," Vivaan suddenly filled in for her. Suraj raised an eyebrow. "Mera room tumhe kitchen nazar aata hai kya? Jaake wahan doondho. Kuch nahi mila toh bana lena kuch bhi!" He stated an ultimatum, ready to close the door on them.
"Bhaiya! Hum wahein se aa rahe hai!" Ragini squeaked, stopping him from closing the door. Suraj raised an eyebrow. "And...?"
"Wahan kuch bhi nahi hai. Humne socha ki noodles bana lenge, par woh bhi nahi hai." Vivaan said sadly. "Toh jaake so jao. Kya kar sakte hai ab?" Suraj asked, incredulous.
Ragini and Vivaan shared a look, and then looked at Suraj the same time.
"No." Suraj answered immediately, not even wanting to know their intentions.
"But Bhaiya..." Ragini started, and Suraj put his hand up to stop her, only to be pulled out of his room by Vivaan.
"What the f...?!"
"Ragini! Madad karo humari!"
And that, is how Suraj found himself at the next town's 24x7 convenience store at 3 freaking a.m. He was so ticked off he could have killed some body, but he was also too tired to do the same. His siblings weren't making it any easier, shouting at the top of their voices about what to buy.
"Just pick up the noodles and we can leave." Suraj said sternly. Honestly, they just wanted him to chaperone them till here, and also save their bottoms if their parents were to find out, cause as long as Suraj agrees to something, his parents were okay with it.
His siblings paid no need to him, running around and picking up useless stuff, and at one point Vivaan had tried to sit inside the shopping cart- they had literally made Suraj drag one, even though they had promised him they would just buy noodles - cause he said he was tired, and Suraj had hit him so hard that he had had double vision for quite a while.
Half an hour later, irritated and deprived of sleep, he finally announced, "Alright, that's it. I'm going back home. You guys shop to your heart's content."
"We're done." They immediately appeared in front of him, and Suraj was a bit taken aback. He dragged himself to the counter and paid the bill (it was a sin to be born eldest) and literally collapsed on the bed once they reached the haveli.
The next morning:
"3900?! VIVAAN! RAGINI! THE HELL DID YOU BUY YESTERDAY?!"
***
"WAAAH!" Vivaan and Ragini screamed at the same time, hugging Suraj from each side as they pulled the blanket over them. Suraj mentally face palmed. It was the nth time they were watching Annabelle and his siblings were still screaming.
It was 1 in the morning, and they were all watching a horror movie, for lack of better things to do in life. Their parents were out, and Ragini thought it was the right time to have some fun, Vivaan suggesting the horror movie part though. 'As though they're quiet and decent the other days.' Suraj thought.
So here they were, all under ONE small blanket, cause it was winter and it was cold and they were lazy to get up to get some more. Initially Suraj had sat on the sofa, legs spread out as he prostrated himself into a sleeping position, only to be dragged down by Ragini 5 minutes into the movie, from where her screaming stretch started. He was now in between them, subject to their deafening screams and fatal hugs and also their childish fights about the other snatching the blanket.
Slowly breaking free from their grasp, he made his way into the kitchen. Staying up late made one hungry. He smiled when he remembered that he had saved up a piece of chocolate cake the previous day, so that all of them could share and eat.
Blissful mode on, he made his way directly toward the fridge to take it out. It would be a good late night snack, he mused. He opened the fridge,
.
.
.
And his smile dropped.
He stormed into the hall, where Vivaan and Ragini were hanging on to each other for dear life, one of them was surely chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. 'I'll show them what's real horror,".
He picked up the remote, muting the TV, and the duo turned towards Suraj. Suraj looked down at them, glared at them hard, till they crawled back in fear. He spat out his next words, slowly.
"WHO ATE THE LAST PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE?! I THOUGHT WE ALL AGREED TO SHARE IT?!" He roared, and his siblings hugged each other on impulse, shivering.
Suraj continued to glare at them, and he slowly walked towards them, as they backed away, along with the blanket which they were using for protection. They crawled back till they hit the TV table, and gulped when Suraj cornered them. He knelt down slowly, and looked at each of them for a good half a minute.
"Both of you," he started slowly, and they swallowed two more times, "will go without breakfast tomorrow. I ain't buying anything for you two." He breathed.
"B... But Bhaiya!" They squeaked together.
"Chup!"
If there was anything that Suraj Rajvanshi couldn't do, it was to let go of things he loved, like chocolate cake.
***
(Once, when they were younger.)
"Alright, are you able to do it now?" Suraj asked slowly, holding Vivaan's hand as he moved on his skates.
"Yes," Vivaan answered, a bit unsure.
"Then shall I let go now?"
"NO!" Vivaan screamed, almost falling down as he held on to Suraj tightly. Suraj sighed. This was the 5th day he was teaching Vivaan to skate and he still wouldn't do it by himself. He concluded that maybe he wasn't teaching him the way it should be taught.
"Alright, why don't I skate with you?" He asked, and Vivaan beamed, nodding his head in approval.
So the both of them skated together, Vivaan holding tightly on to Suraj. When Suraj felt that Vivaan was skating steadily, he let go of him.
Vivaan did fine for a few seconds, following which he seemed to have realised that Suraj had let him go, and he started to scream.
"Bhaiya! Don't abandon me! Main ghir jaunga! BHAIYAAA!"
Crash. Suraj face palmed, going forward to help Vivaan. Needless to say, Vivaan's skates collected dust in the corner of the room after that, till they were thrown away.
EXTRA: That night, Vivaan slept in Suraj's room, and Suraj let him do so, since he felt guilty about the day's incident.
.
.
.
Two hours later though, he regretted his decision, for Vivaan literally hogged the entire bed, pushing Suraj to the extreme corner. Suraj was beyond irritated, and when Vivaan kicked him, again, he finally snapped. Picking up his pillow, he hit him.
"Get up you jerk! I know you're awake! You're literally taking up the entire bed! Move over or I will kung fu kick you out of my room!"

Azaadgunj was having a fair- they did once every few years, but it was the first time that the siblings were going to one after they'd grown up. They were accompanied by Imli and Chakor this time.
Suraj draped an arm around her waist, pulling her close. Chakor collided with his chest, and immediately started looking around to see if anyone was looking, trying to free herself. Suraj rolled his eyes.
"Humari shaadi hone waali hai. Azaadgunj toh kya, Lucknow tak sabhi ko pata hai. Ab kyu sharma rahi ho, Begum Rani?"
"Suraj..."
"Jab pyaar kiya toh darna kya~" Vivaan sang as Ragini continued with him. Suraj glared at them. Talk about third wheels.
"Wahan chalte hai!" Imli said excitedly, running toward a photo booth. It had been ages since they had seen such a thing. Vivaan followed Imli, not even bothering about his companions.
"Uski baari aane do, dekh loonga," Suraj muttered as he followed them. But really, they were all crazy to think that they would all fit into that small space. They were literally cramped in the booth, Suraj at the far end almost out of breath. Forget posing, they couldn't even stand properly.
"I am not doing that duck face!" Suraj shouted as everyone pouted at the camera. "Aww, come on Bhaiya!" Ragini made a puppy face. "NO."
"Just think you're kissing me," Chakor whispered, winking at Suraj.
.
.
.
Suraj was a perfect pout master. Who would have thought?
When they were making their way out, however, Chakor pulled Suraj back, much to his shock.
"Photo click ki awaaz suni kya?" Vivaan asked, and Imli shook her head. "Humare photos aa rahe hai!" Ragini shouted, excited as the pictures were being printed. Chakor hurriedly came and took the series of photos in her hand, before stealthily tearing off the last one and handing it to Ragini. Suraj came from behind her, grasping the hand in which she held the photo.
"Ye sab karna tha toh pehle bataa deti. Kahin aur leke chalthe the tumhe," Suraj winked as he looked at the photo. He had clicked it at the right moment, he thought with pride.
It was a photo of Chakor pulling Suraj toward her as she kissed his cheek, and Suraj, though half shocked, had smiled at the camera, his eyes almost closed. That stayed in his wallet for a long time, long after their kids were born.
EXTRA: "Ragini stop putting those freaky heart smileys in your insta stories!"
We all know who said that.
