It was again a beautiful morning as both woke up in each other's arms.
She stretched her arms lazily to welcome the fresh morning only to be pulled back by him. She smiled at his gesture and pecked him on his cheek
Ishita: Wish you a very happy birthday Mr. Bhalla
Raman: Till the time you are around everything is happy Mrs. Bhalla
Ishita: hehhee toh bataiye kya special banaun aaj aapke liye
Raman: Serve yourself to me
Ishita: Ramannn kuch bhi...chaliye mujhe chodiye aur aap bhi uthiye ab...main chai laati hoon phir aaj bahut kaam hai mujhe
Raman: Nahi abhi nahi
Ishita: Raman kya ho gaya hai aapko...8 baj gaye hain already
Raman: It is my birthday yaar...pamper me
Ishita: hehehe toh aapko pamper karun main
Raman: Yes
Ishita: Aur woh kaise
Raman: Kahin bahar chalen
Ishita: Par aaj kaise
Raman: Kyun aaj India ka PM aane wala hai tumse milne
Ishita: Nahi PM toh nahi aa rahen hain...par mere patidev ka birthday hai toh
Raman: Patidev...wow
Ishita: heheh chaliye na ab chodiye...uthungi nahi toh aapko aapka gift kaise dungi
Raman: Arre haan right mera gift bhi toh udhaar hai tumpe
Ishita: Exactly toh ab chodiye mujhe aur khud bhi uthiye
He finally let her go after fulfilling his morning dose of romance. She got him his tea and went down after getting ready.
He too got ready in sometime and went down only to receive another grand surprise waiting for him.
Amma, Appa, Mihika, Mihir, Romi, Simmi, Vandu, Simmi's husband, Bala Jiju and anyone he could recall of his extended family was present to wish him birthday.
All shouted in excitement wishing him birthday.
He could only utter a mere thank you at that moment.
Naanu happy birthday, Pari said giving him a doll.
Raman: Thank you so much beta
Pari: Aapko pata hai yeh meri favorite doll hai islie main aapko yahi de rahi hoon gift mein kyunki aap mere favorite ho
Thank you so much beta, Raman said with a heavy heart.
Raman then took the blessings from elders and hugged the younger ones. He then took Ishita aside ignoring all the teasing from Mihika.
Raman: Ishita I am very happy to see everyone around but you know na mujhe party karna pasand nahi hai phir yeh sab kyun
Ishita: I know Raman aapko apne birthday ki party karna pasand nahi hai par aapko apne bachon ki parties mein toh maza aata hai na
Raman: haan aata hai par tumhara matlab kya hai
Ishita: Matlab ki aaj ki party specially aapke birthday ke liye nahi hai...i wanted everyone around you aur bina party ke sabko gather karna thik nahi lagta...islie aaj hum sabne Ansh ki engagement plan kar li...aise party bhi ho jaegi, aapka birthday bhi ho jaega aur sab saath bhi honge
Raman: Oh toh yeh khichdi pak rahi thi kai din se
Ishita: Aap khush hain na Raman
Raman: Ofcourse...apne bete ki engagement apne birthday ke din...is se bada surprise kya ho sakta hai...I can't tell you how happy I am...i love you Ishita and thank you so much for the wonderful surprise.
Ishita: I love you too
Mihika who heard some part of the conversation cleared her throat to make them realize about her presence.
Mihika: Arre yaar kahin bhi chalu ho jaate ho...bedroom hai ghar mein wahan jao phir jitne marzi I love you bolo kisne roka hai
Raman left from there embarrassed while Ishita hit Mihika.
Ishita: Kuch bhi bolti hai pagal
Mihika: Ab jo suna wahi bola na
Ishita: Acha bata meri Meera kahan hai
Mihika: Arre don't worry aa jaegi kuch der mein...Ansh ke liye use kuch special gift lena tha isilie gayi hai
Ishita: yeh dono bhi na...paas honge toh ladte rahenge aur waise kitni care karte hain ek dusre ki
Mihika: hehheh teri aur meri tarah
Ishita: haan sach mein
Mihika: Waise Ishu tune dhokha de diya...yaad hai jab Ansh paida hua tha aur Meera hone wali thi humne socha tha ki inki shaadi kara denge
Ishita: I am really sorry Miku...i know par yahan Ansh ne khud hi
Mihika: Mazak hai baba...ab is sab mein hum kuch kar nahi sakte hain na...yahan Ansh aur wahan Meera ne...dono ne khud hi apne liye partners choose kar liye
Ishita: What Meera bhi
Mihika: Haan Ishu...waise acha hi hai Ansh aur Meera ka kuch set nahi hua
Ishita: Kyun
Mihika: Arre phir hum bhi samdhan ho jaate aur Toshi Aunty aur Amma ki tarah ladte
Ishita: hehhehehe...yeh toh hai...un dono ke jhagde kabhi khatam nahi ho sakte...waise chal jaake dekhte hain kya pata ab bhi lad rahe ho
----------------------------------------------------------
Bhalla Ji: Aur Iyyer Saab kaise hain aap...Delhi mein sab thik
Appa: Bas Bhalla Ji sab badiya hai...aap bataiye...aapka tour kaisa raha
Bhalla Ji: Bahut badiya ji...aaiye naashta karte hain
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amma: Aaiyo aaj toh main bahut khush hoon...Mere Raman ka birthday aur mere Ansh ki engagement
Toshi Ji: Mere bete ka birthday hai aur mere pote ki sagai
Amma: Nahi mere naati ki sagai hai...aaj toh main Bharatanatyam karungi
Toshi Ji: Nahi mere pote ki sagai hai...aaj sirf Bhangra hoga
Amma: Bharatanatyam
Toshi Ji: Bhangra
Ishita and Mihika could only look on helpless hearing the mothers fight like babies.
Ishita: Aiyo Amma Mummy Ji aap log phirse chalu ho gaye...please aap dono jaiye aur ready ho jaiye na...ladki wale bhi aate honge aur baaki guests bhi...Bharatanatyam aur Bhangre ka fusion kar lena aap log par please abhi jaiye
Toshi Ji: Oye Samdhan aaja tu mere room mein hi ready ho jaa
Amma: Okie chalo
They left and Ishita sighed in relief.
Mihika: Yeh dono bhi kaise hain ek minute mein ladai aur dusre hi pal dosti
Ishita: hheheh haan chal ab tu bhi jaa aur ready ho jaa
---------------------------------------------------
Simmi: Arre Vandita tum ho kahan aajkal yaar...na koi phone na message
Vandu: Arre bas pucho mat Simmi...Shravu ke MBA admission mein bahut busy thi
Simmi: Chal main tujhe apni nayi saree dikhati hoon jo aaj ke function ke liye li hai
Vandu: Haan chal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mihir, Bala, Raman, Romi and Param were also having some random conversations when Ishita came there.
Ishita: Arre aap log please ab baad mein baat kijiyega na...jaiye ready ho jaiye
Romi: Haan Bhabhi bas hum jaa hi rahe the
Finally the hall was emptied and all proceeded to get ready for the function.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In their room,
Raman: Bahut acha lag raha hai Ishita sabko saath dekhke
Ishita: Aur mujhe acha lag raha hai aapko khush dekhke
Raman: Waise subah se Ruhi, Redansh aur Ansh ni dikhe hain kahan woh teeno
Ishita: Aa jaenge kahin gaye honge kaam se
Raman: Hadd hai jiski engagement hai wahi gayab hai
Ishita: Phir mauka mil gaya mere bache ke peeche padne ka...aa jaega Raman
Raman: Hadd hai yaar birthday ke din bhi daant rahi ho
Ishita: Hehee ab nautanki band kijiye aur ready ho jaiye
Raman: Kapde toh do
Ishita: hehhehe de rahi hoon...yaad hai mujhe ki Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla se apne kapde khud nahi nikale jaate
Raman: Hawww Ishita kaisa non-veg dialog bola tumne
Upon realizing what she had said mistakenly, she bit her tongue while lowering her head.
Ishita: I meant from the closet Raman...aap bhi na
Raman: Waise tum kya pehen rahi ho
Ishita: Saree
Raman: Wow what a change...roz toh jaise bikini pehenti ho
Ishita: Ramannn
Raman: I mean kounsa color
Ishita: Yeh wali Ruhi kehke gayi hai...green
Raman: No red pehno
Ishita: Main dulhan nahi hoon Raman...humare bete ki sagai hai
Raman: Sirf dulhan hi red nahi pehenti...pehno na please
Ishita: Sab budhi ghodi laal lagaam kahenge
Raman: Koi ni ghodi ke saath mein itne hot jockey ko dekhke chup ho jayenge
And they both laughed and got themselves ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon everyone was ready. Raman wore a black suit with a white shirt inside. Ishita dressed herself in a red and cream saree fulfilling Raman's wish and keeping the elegance at the same time.
All the guests started to pour in.
Ansh, Ruhi and Redansh too joined and walked upto Ishita.
Ishita: Kaam ho gaya
Ansh: Haan Maa ho gaya...badi mushkil se hua but ho gaya
Ruhi: Haan IshiMaa woh maan hi nahi raha tha keh raha tha ki abhi do din aur lagenge phir hum khud wahi baithe aur Redansh ne use bahut daanta tab jaake usne kaam kiya
Ishita: Thank you so much Redansh beta
Redansh: Mummy aapne sirf mujhe thanks kaha Ruhi aur Ansh ko nahi...main aapka beta nahi hoon na
Ishita: Sorry beta...mera aisa koi intention nahi tha
Redansh: I know mummy...chaliye hum log bas phataphat se aapke room mein set kar dete hain sab kuch...aap Papa ko neeche hi rakhna
Ishita: Thik hai beta par jaldi aana aap log ready hoke...bas Ishvi aur uski family bhi aate hi honge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon the function started after the arrival of Ishvi with her family and relatives.
Toshi Ji introduced Ishvi to her extended family.
Amma: Aiyo mere Ansh ki dulhan kitni sunder hai
Ishvi: Thank you Naani Ji
All the guests from Ansh's side blessed Ishvi happily while her side's guests blessed Ansh.
Ashok: Raman, it is such an honor to be a part of your family now. Business associates toh hum the hi but the feeling of family is awesome
Raman: Lucky toh hum hain Ashok...itni pyaari beti mil rahi hain humen
And they hugged.
Ishvi: Ishita aunty you look gorgeous
Ishita: Apni bahu se kam lekin...Arre Shagun aap yahan kyun khadi ho...aao na main aapko sabse milwati hoon
Shagun: let it be Ishita...itne log hain kis kis se milungi
Ishvi: Mom aap
Ishita: Arre Ishvi beta...thik hi keh rahi hain Shagun...waise bhi ab toh milna milana laga hi rahega Shagun baad mein mil legi sabse
Shagun: Yah whatever...Ishita I have a question for you...why could you not dress yourself a little sober...I mean it is embarrassing to introduce you with my guests...they are all business friends you know...like red seriously ...I mean I understand you are a housewife and you don't know how to deal with business people but still tum puch leti mujhse
Ishita: Shagun woh actually
Ishvi: Mom stop it...i think Ishita aunty looks the best in the party...dur se hi koi pehchaan lega ki yeh dulhe ki maa hain unlike you...mujhe sabko batana pad raha hai ki aap meri mumma ho
Shagun: Ishvi tum
Ishita: Ishvi woh Simmi Bua tumhe bula rahi hain tum jao main aati hoon
Ishvi: Ji aunty
Ishita: Shagun I can understand...agar meri Ruhi mujhse jyada importance kisi aur ko deti toh shayad mujhe bhi thoda bura lagta but don't worry...Ishvi tumhari beti hai aur humesha hi rahegi...use nayi maa milne se uski life mein purani maa ki importance kabhi kam nahi hogi and I assure you about it
Shagun: I didn't mean this way
Ishita: Its ok Shagun...aaiye chalte hain function shuru karte hain...and BTW housewife ya working wife hone se dressing sense nahi aata hai Shagun...even I was working until Ruhi was born...it is just that Raman gave me that feeling of financial security and so I was able to give my children the time they deserved from me. Rahi saree ki baat I don't care who thinks what of me...Raman chahte the main yeh pehnu and I wore that's it...aaiye chalte hain
Shagun could only fume in anger upon getting an indirect insult.
Soon the function started. Ishvi and Ansh exchanged the rings and everyone clapped. Ishita and Raman's happiness was touching the sky.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meera: Congratulations Ansh
Ansh: OMG tu kab aayi
Meera: Jab tu apni wali ke saath busy tha
Ansh: Aaj tune do choti ki hoti na toh aaj bhi kheench deta
Meera: Bakwaas band kar aur introduce karwa
Soon Ansh introduced Meera, his best friend to his ladylove and the trio bonded immediately.
The younger generation danced for Ansh and Ishvi on the song Party All Night
Amma and Toshi ji did their south and Punjabi fusion dance on Iski Uski
Pari too cutely sang for Ansh and Ishvi
Chanda Mama Se Bhi Pyaare Hain Yeh Humare Mama
Mamiji Ke Aa Jaane Se Humko Bhul Na Jaana
Pyaare Pyaare Mamaji
Ansh and Ishvi immediately pulled little Pari in a hug and kissed her on her cheeks. Others too clapped loud in awe of the cute Pari.
Soon Ansh and Ruhi brought a cake for Raman.
Ruhi: Papa I know you don't like cakes and all par please humare liye
Ansh: Haan papa please
Raman: Anything for my kids
Raman cut the cake and fed everyone.
Ansh: Ab aap gaana gao
Raman: Pagal hai kya
Ansh: Please na papa
Ruhi: Haan papa please...we have never heard you sing
Raman: No beta
Redansh: Papa please na request...mummy aap kahiye na papa se
Ishita: Raman bache itna keh rahe hain toh
Raman: Nahi Ishita...I can't
Pari: Naanu please sunao na...only one song please
Raman: Arre nahi beta...apni IshiNaani se kaho...woh sunaengi acha gaati hai na who
Ishvi: Uncle please mere liye
Now Raman could not refuse. He knew he had some fatherly duties to fulfill just like his father fulfilled for Ishita.
Raman: Ok
And all shouted in excitement.
Raman started to sing,
Waahe Waahe Zum Zum Zum Waahe Waahe
Waahe Waahe Zum Zum Zum Waahe Waahe
Ruhi, Ishvi, Ananya, Meera joined in to sing with him.
Pa Ni Pa Ni Sa Ga Re Sa Ni
Pa Ni Pa Ni Sa Ma Ni Sa
Raman sang further
Kuch Saal Pehle Doston Yeh Baat Hui Thi
Humko Bhi Mohabbat Kisi Ke Saath Hui Thi
He pulled Ishita towards him and sang further
Apni Bhi Kabhi Pehli Mulakaat Hui Thi
Humko Bhi Mohabbat Kisi Ke Saath Hui Thi
Kuch Saal Pehle Doston Yeh Baat Hui Thi
Humko Bhi Mohabbat Kisi Ke Saath Hui Thi
Ansh, Redansh, Shravu all came around Raman and sang
Waahe Waahe Zum Zum Zum Waahe Waahe
Waahe Waahe Zum Zum Zum Waahe Waahe
Soon the whole family too joined in and sang together
Pa Ni Pa Ni Sa Ga Re Sa Ni
Pa Ni Pa Ni Sa Ma Ni Sa
After the song ended, all clapped in happiness.
