*The next morning, 4.30 am*
Mamiji: Aakas k papa.. bake up, bake up!
Mamaji groans when she shakes his shoulders.
Mamaji: Kaa hai Mannu?
Mamiji: Dekho oo aai gawaa!
Mamaji opens his eyes to find the room seeped in darkness.
Mamaji: Ee bakhat kaun aay sakat hai?
Mamiji: Oo hai jaun ko hum NK babua ko surprije deve ki khaatir bulaaye rahe!
Mamaji(gets up): Par ee tau bataawa ki oo hai kaun?

Everyone assembles near the staircase to find mamiji grinning from ear to ear.
Aakash: Kya hua maate? Itni subha-subha kyun bulaaya sabko?
Mami(points to the main door): Oo dekhau kaun aaya hai!
Aakash(smiles): Mamaji?!
Mami: Haan! NKbabua, ee hai raha tumhra surprijewa!
NK(smiles): I could never guess ki aap mamaji ko lekar aayengi, masiji! Thanks a lot!

Mamiji: Areh tum kaahe paresaan hui rahi hau, Lavanya?! Hum tumka aapan under eye maskwa lagaai be na taun tumhre dark circles dijappear hui jai hai! Abhai tau tum aapan mama sasur se milau!
Masala mama frowns when Lavanya touches his feet.

Masala mama: Haan, haan! Tum eeki sagaai ka photo bheje rahi humein. (smacks his head) Sasuri humari yaadast bhi na!
He takes out a gift from his bag & gives it to Lavanya.
Masala mama: Ee leyo bahuriya! Jeeti raho! Tumhri sagaai par naahi aa sake oo ki khaatir maafi chaahat hain!
Lavanya: Thats okay, mamaji. Thank you so much!

Mamaji: Bhulaaye gaye ka? Bahuriya ka naam Paayal hai.
Masala mama: Ha,ha! Paayal bitiya ee leyo. Khoob khaao, piyo aur tandurast rahao tabhai bachchhwa tandurast hoga!
Paayal touches his feet before accepting the gift.
Masala mama: Aur ee hum Arnav bitwa ki khaatir laaye hain!
Arnav is surprised when masala mama extends a gift towards him.
Arnav: Mere liye kyun, uncle?
Masala mama: Tum har dafaa bides se humri khaatir kauno giphat laai k Manorama ko devat ho k naahi? Pichchli dafaa hum sabhai ki khaatir mithaai laaye rahe aur sabhai ko tohfein dilaaye rahe. Par tumko kuchchho naahi dila paayein. Ae hi liye..
Arnav: Aapko un gifts k liye thank you kehna hi hai toh mami se kahiye! Woh hi har baar aapk liye gifts mangvaati hain. Main toh bas unhe lekar aata hoon. So aapko gift mami ko dena chahiye mujhe nahi.
Masala mama: Phir bhi.. Rakh leyo,bitwa. Humra aasirbaad samajhkar hi rakh leyo!
Arnav(accepts it): Thanks!
Mami: Hello hi bye bye! Humri khaatir kuchcho naahi laaye ka?
Masala mama: Tumhri khaatir hum Banarasi saaree laaye hain! Aur oo bhi ek naahi dui!
Mami is elated to hear that.

Masala mama: Hum toh bahutai khus hain! Kitne dinan k baad jo humri sisterwa se mile hain! Aur ee dafaa tau humri bhet aapan brother-in-laa se bhi hui gayi hai!
Mamaji smiles when Masala mama touches his feet.

Masala mama: Badhiya hain, aap bataiyye.. Bataiyye naahi, pahile ee lijiye, aapka giphatwa.
Mamaji: Ee ki kaa jaroorat rahi? Tum humse chhotey ho aur gift tau bade chhoton ko devat hain.
Masala mama: Humri khaatir aapko kauno giphat laay ki jaroorat naa hai. Bas.. Agli baar Amreeka jaane se pahile humka bataa dijiyega. Humau chalenge aapk saath!
Mamaji(pats his back): Jaroor, jaroor!
Masala mama: Parnaam auntyji!
Nani(smiles): Jiyat rahiye bitwa! Aap bhi na kamaal karat hain! Pichhli baar der raat ko aaye rahe aur ab k bhore-bhore aaye gaye!

Masala mama: Tumhri amma ko phone milaai k soochit kar do,babua, ki hum aai gaye hain. Jiji ko humri bahut chinta lagi rahi ki hum kahin bhulaaye ki kauno aur k ghar na chale jaayein!
Mami: Tum oo ki chinta naahi karo! Tum aaraam se hiyaan baitho! Hum jiji ko inpharm kar det hain ki humra dear be-rather just arrived hui gawa hai!
Masala mama(smiles): Theek hai!
Khushi: Mamaji hum aapk liye chai lekar aate hain.
Masala mama: Masala maar k lana,bitiya!
Khushi(smiles): Ji!
Masala mama: Aur jaate jaate ee mithaai k dibbon ko fridgewa ma rakhti jai ho.
Khushi: Dijiye. Naniji, aap chai lengi?
Nani: Naahi bitiya. Chandu bitwa thak gaye honge. Aap oo ko chai pilaaye dijiye. Hum tanik sustay lete hain.
Khushi: Ha naniji. Aapki neend poori nahi hui toh aapka sir bhaari ho jayega. Aap aaraam kar lijiye..
Arnav: Aaraam ki zaroorat toh tumhe bhi hai,Khushi. Kal tumhara fast tha aur sone me bhi der ho gayi.
Nani: Chhotey sahi kahat hain, bitiya. Aap Om Prakash se kahe dijiye, oo chai banaa denge.
Khushi: Theek hai naniji.
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
Arnav followed Khushi as she walked into the kitchen.
Khushi: Om Prakaashji..
OP: Ji bhabhiji?
Khushi: Subha-subha aapko pareshaan karne k liye maafi chaahtein hain! Kya aap mamaji ki masala chai k ilaava humare liye ek cup kadak, adrak wali chai bana denge? Humare sir me bahut dard hai varna hum khud hi bana lete.
OP: Paresaani ki kya baat hai,bhabhiji? Aap jaakar aaraam kijiye. Hum aapki chai aapk kamre me de jaayenge.
Khushi(smiles): Shukriya! Aur saath me cream wale do biskoot bhi de dijiyega.
OP nods while washing the saucepan.
Khushi(turns around): Chaliye.. Ya.. aapko aaj daud lagaane se pehle hi coffee chahiye?
Arnav: Mujhe Om Prakaash se baat karni hai. Tum jao. Main tumhari chay lekar aata hoon.
Khushi(smiles): Theek hai.
Om Prakaash stopped what he was doing when Arnav entered the kitchen.
OP: Itni.. subha-subha.. aapko humse kya.. kaam tha bhaiyya?
Arnav: Khushi k liye chai main banaunga.
OP(shell-shocked): Kya?
Arnav(ignores him): Fridge me brown paperbag rakha hai. Usse ek bread nikaal kar microwave me garm kar do.
OP: Ji..
Arnav: Aur phir unpar jam lagaa do.
OP: Jaam toh.. parso hi.. khatm ho gaya.
Arnav: Aur yeh baat tum aaj bata rahe ho? Woh bhi mere poochhne par?
OP(lowers his gaze): woh.. bhaiyya hum..
Arnav: Tumhe pata nahi hai Khushi ko jam kitna pasand hai? Agar aaj shaam tak jam nahi aaya na toh kal shaam tak tum apne gaon pahuch jaoge!
OP: Hum aaj subha hi jam le aayenge!
Arnav: Ab jo bola hai woh karo! Aur.. rehne do. Baaki main dekh lunga.
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
Khushi was pleasantly surprised when Arnav placed the tray in front of her.
Khushi: Cinnamon roll! Croissants! (picking it up)Yeh kahaan se aaye?
Arnav(sitting beside her): Khan market se. Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki wahaan ek French bakery hai?
Khushi nods while taking a bite of the croissant.
Arnav: Kal office se aate waqt waheen se yeh sab lekar aaya.
Khushi(smiles): Bahut swaadisht hai! (kisses his cheek) shukriya!
Arnav(pecks her lips): You're welcome! Jam khatm ho gayi hai isiliye maine cheese spread lagaa diya.
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Croissant toh humein itne achchhe lagte hain ki hum inhe chutney k saath bhi kha sakte hain!
Arnav shakes his head while holding the teacup for her.
Arnav: I know. Jaise hi tumne croissant dekha, tum chai peena bhool gayi!
Khushi: Areh haan! Dijiye..
She frowns after taking a sip.
Arnav: Kya hua?
Khushi: Chai kisne banaai hai?
Arnav: Achchchi nahi bani?
Khushi(guesses): Aapne banaai?
Arnav: Ha, maine banaai par.. achchhi nahi bani kya?
Khushi(smiles): Bahut achchhi hai! Kya baat hai? Subha-subha chai banaayi aur saath me yeh sab bhi le aayein?
Arnav(putting an arm around her): Aise hi! Tumhe surprise dene ka man kiya toh.. bas.. chhota sa surprise de diya!
Khushi(smiles): Humein aapka chhota sa surprise bahut pasand aaya!
She gives him a side hug.
Arnav(kisses her cheek): I'm glad!
Khushi: Ab yeh bataiyye ki aap yeh croissant aur cinnamon roll sirf humare liye laaye hain ya..?
Arnav: Sabk liye laaya hoon.
Khushi(appreciating smile): Yeh bahut achchha kiya aapne!
Arnav: Sirf yeh hi nahi, multigrain baguette bhi laaya hoon.
Khushi: Achchha? Phir toh hum aaj hi garlic bread aur pasta bana denge!
Arnav(kisses the top of her head): Thank you!
When she offers her a piece of croissant, he declines.
Khushi: Kyun?
Arnav: Mujhe joggin k liye jana hai.
Khushi: Itni jaldi?
Arnav: No, I mean.. joggin se pehle main kuch nahi khana chahta hoon.
Khushi: Koi baat nahi! Aap naashte me kha lijiyega.
Arnav: Ab tum jaldi se kha lo phir mujhe tumhe head massage bhi dena hai.
Khushi: Head massage kyun?
Arnav: Tumhe headache ho raha hai na?
Khushi: Woh toh chai peete hi chhoo ho jayega!
Arnav: Still.. agar main apni wife ko head massage dena chahoon toh tumhe usse koi problem hai?
Khushi: Humein kya diqqat ho sakti hai, bhalaa? Aap 5 minute rukiye. Hum tab tak yeh sab khatm kar dete hain. Phir aaraam se, aapki godh me sir rakhkar,aapse massage karvaayenge!
Arnav(smiles): Deal!
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
Khushi smiled leisurely when Arnav wrapped his arms around her neck.
Arnav: Feelin relaxed?
Khushi(nods): Bahut relaxed! Chai k asar ki wajah se jag rahe hain varnaa humein itna aaraam mil raha tha ki hum toh kab k so chuke hote!
She caresses the back of his hand and plants a kiss on his ring finger.
Khushi: Ek baat kahein?
Arnav: hmm?
Khushi: Jab aapk daahine haath me shaadi ki angoothi aur raksha dhaga ya.. rakhi ya.. roli.. koi bhi dhaaga hota hai na,tab aapka haath aur bhi achchha lagtaa hai!
She smiles while running her thumb over the raksha dhaaga.
Khushi: Zara dekhiye toh.. Devi Maiyya ka raksha dhaaga kaise aapki kalhaai ki shobha badhaa raha hai!
Arnav: Waise,tumne mujhe bataya nahi..
Khushi: Kya?
Arnav: Yeh hi ki tumne vrat todne k baad Devi Maiyya se kya maanga?
Khushi: Humne toh kuch maanga hi nahi!
Arnav: Strange! Pure din bhookhi-pyaasi rahi aur kuch maanga hi nahi?
Khushi: Humne yeh vrat kis liye rakha tha?(answers herself)Devi Maiyya ka aabhar prakat karne k liye na? Kyunki Unhone humari bahut sari ichchhayein poori kar di! Jo maanga woh toh diya hai par jo na maanga woh bhi dekar humein dhanya kar diya! Ab hum Unse kya maangtein?! Isiliye vrat kholne k bad humne bas Unhe dhanyavaad kaha!
Arnav: Woh kyun?
Khushi: Kyunki Unhone humari madad ki aur Unk aashirwaad se humare dono vrat safal huye! Sach kahein toh humein nirjal vrat se zyada maun vrat ki chinta sataa rahi thi! Poore din me na jaane kitni baar aisa hua ki hum aapse baat karte-karte reh gaye. Phone par aapki aawaaz sunkar hum aapse baat karne k liye aur bhi utaavle ho gaye the! Woh toh Devi Maiyya ki kripa thi isiliye jaise-taise khud ko rok liya humne! Aur phir.. humare man me dar bhi tha,jisne humein bolne se roka.
Arnav notices Khushi's hold on his hand getting stronger.
Arnav: Kaisa dar?
Khushi: Yeh hi dar tha ki kahin.. humare bolne par humse naraaz hokar aap humse bolna band na kar dein! Ya humein koi aur sazaa na de dein! Iss khayaal se hi humari aankhein nam ho gayi thi.
She pauses to kiss his hands.
Khushi: Aayinda kabhi humse maunvrat mat rakhvaiyye,Arnavji. Please.. Hum hi jaante hain ki kal ka vrat humne kitni mushqil se rakha!
Arnav: Sorry Khushi!
Here she lifts her head from his lap and turns so as to face him.
Khushi: Kya matlab?
Arnav: Matlab jab bhi tum nirjal vrat rakhogi tab tumhe maunvrat bhi rakhna padega.
Khushi(groans): Arnavji..!
Arnav: Kal ka din mere liye bhi bahut mushqil tha but I dealt with it.
Khushi: Ha,ha sab jaante hain hum! Aapne toh ramanchi bhi kar li par humne toh sazaa k dar se woh bhi nahi ki!
Arnav: Agar tum cheating karti ya maunvrat tod deti toh bhi main tumhe koi sazaa nahi deta.
Khushi(shocked): Kya?
Arnav nods while pulling her into his arms.
Arnav: Obviously! Maine jo bhi kiya woh tumhari bhalaai k liye..
Khushi(interrupts): Jaante hain! Par uss se humari bhalaai nahi hui! Ulta humara dhyaan vrat se, Devi Maiyya ki pooja se hatkar baar-baar aapki or ja raha tha. Poore din humara man ashaant raha! Vrat k din sirf sharir ka dhyan rakhna hi zaroori nahi hota hai,Mr. Raizada, man ka dhyaan rakhna bhi utna hi zaroori hota hai.
Arnav: Woh tumhe rakhna chahiye tha na? Tum mujhse yeh sab kyun keh rahi ho?
Khushi(breaks the hug): Areh!? Aap hi ki wajah se hum vrat me dhyaan nahi lagaa paa rahe the!
Arnav: Meri wajah se nahi,apni wajah se! Tumne apne mind par control rakha hota toh tumhara mind divert hi nahi hota!
Khushi: Aapka toh jaise bahut control raha na apne dimaag par?! Humein sab pataa hai! Kal reh-rehkar aapko humari yaad aai hogi, aapka humari aawaaz sunne ka ji kar raha hoga! Kaam se zyaada aapko iss baat ki chinta hogi ki hum theek hain ya nahi, kahin vrat rakhne k kaaran humari tabiyat bigad toh nahi gayi! Kyun? Ab boliye!
Arnav(shrugs): Ab kya bolun main?
Khushi(hugs him): Kuch bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai aapko!
Arnav: Right!(breaks the hug) Mujhe bolne ki nahi, joggin karne ki zaroorat hai.
Khushi: Suniye na..
Arnav: Boliye na!
Khushi: Woh.. humne kal raat ko kuch zyaada hi kha liya. Bhookh itni lagi thi na.. ki.. humein andaaza hi nahi hua ki hum kitna kha rahe hain! Aur.. kheer bhi di ne itni badhiya banaai thi ki.. kheer ki toh 2-2 katoriyaan chatt kar gaye hum! Aur phir.. khana khaane k turant bad.. so bhi toh gaye..
Arnav: Come to the point,Khushi.
Khushi: Toh.. humein lagtaa hai ki.. aaj.. humein bhi.. aapk saath.. calories.. burn karne ki zaroorat hai!
Arnav(hides his smile): You're right! Ek kaam karo, tum bhi mere saath joggin par chalo!
Khushi(shocked): Kya?
Arnav: Haan! Tracksuit toh nahi hai tumhare pass par salwaar kameez pehen lena.
Khushi(breaks the hug): Par.. hum kaise.. daud lagaayenge? woh.. baitaa chadh gaya toh?
Arnav: In that case hum walkin kar lenge. Chalo..
Khushi: Par Arnavji.. hum toh.. kamre k.. andar.. calories burn.. karne ki.. baat kar rahe the..
Arnav: Kamre k andar kyun? Aaj baarish nahi ho rahi hai toh hum baahar ja sakte hai.
Khushi: Ha par.. sab jagah keechad hoga na..
Arnav: Toh hum kamre me rehkar hi.. weight lifting kar lete hain.
Khushi: Oh ho! Kya keh rahe hain aap? Hum..
Arnav(interrupts): Tum kya keh rahi ho? Saaf-saaf bataao tumhe kya chahiye?
Khushi(understands): Achchha? Toh aap humse bulvana chahte hain na? Toh theek hai! Sun lijiye- humein koi kasrat nahi karni hai! Aap jaiyye- chaliye,daudiye,koodiye,phaandiye, jo karna hai kar lijiye! Jitni calories jalaani ho na utni jala lijiye!
She moves to the other side of the bed and lies down with her back towards Arnav.
Arnav(lies down beside her): Chalaa jaun?
Khushi: Ab kya likh kar dein? Kaha na,jaiyye..
Arnav(wraps arm around her): Is that what you really want, sweetheart?
Khushi(smacks his arm): Aap bahut achchhe se jaante hain ki hum kya chahtein hain! Hum hi kyun, aap khud bhi woh hi chahtein hain! Phir bhi zidd par ade hain! Toh theek hai phir, aap apni zidd ko pakar kar baithe rahiye aur humein chhod dijiye!
Arnav(leaving her waist): Fine. Toh ab zidd nahi karte hain. Woh karte hain jo hum dono karna chahtein hain! Ab tum iss taraf turn karogi ya main.. aise hi?
When Khushi turns towards him, Arnav notices the cross expression on her face.
Arnav(pecks her lips): Sorry!
Khushi: Poore mood ka satyanaash kar diya aapne! Moodkiller kahin k!
Arnav(amused): What?!
Khushi: Moodkiller nahi,aapko toh hum uss hi naam se bulaayenge jo humne kal hi aapk liye rakha tha!
Arnav(removes his t-shirt): Kaunsa naam?
Khushi opens her mouth to speak but closes it as Arnav removes her nightgown.
Arnav(leans closer): Bataao.
Khushi: Ramanchilaal Raizada!
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Aur kya!? Jab dekho tab ramanchi kar rehte hain! Isiliye yeh hi naam sahi hai aapk liye! Aaj se yeh hi bulaayenge aapko- Ramanchilaalji!
Arnav: Enough! Mujhe yeh naam bilkul pasand nahi hai!
Khushi: Kyun Ramachilaalji?
Arnav: Shut up!
Khushi: Aap shut up!
Arnav(sternly): Khushi..
Khushi(fake smile): Ji Ram..
This time he shuts her up with his mouth.
As soon as he breaks the kiss, Khushi calls him "Ziddi Singh Raizada!"
Arnav(tweaks her nose): Mrs. Ziddi.. Singh Raizada! Agar main ziddi hoon toh tum bhi kuch kam ziddi nahi ho!
He proceeds to undress her.
Khushi: Jo bhi ho. Kamaskam aapki tarah ramanchi toh nahi karte na?
Arnav(kisses her navel): Toh karo na! Kisne mana kiya hai!? Phir main bhi tumhe bula paunga- Ramanchilaalee!
Khushi is unable to hide her smile.
Khushi: Aisa koi naam nahi hota hai!
Arnav: Toh Ramanchilaal bhi koi naam nahi hota hai!
Khushi: Hota hai! Abse aapka yeh hi naam.. aahh! aarrnavvvjiii!
She screams as he leaves a lovebite on her milky waist.
Arnav: Exactly! Yaad rakhnaa mera naam!
Khushi lets out a whimper as he soothes her.
She moans his name several times as he makes love to her.
Later,as they lie arm in arm,Arnav smiles when she calls him ''lard governer".
Arnav(cups her cheek): Ab kya hua?
Khushi: Pehle kehte hain ki salwaar kameez mat peheno, anaarkali mat peheno! Phir khud hi.. humare badan par.. nishaan chhod dete hain.. jink rehte hum saree na pehen paayein!
She gasps when Arnav rubs one of the lovebites with his thumb.
Arnav: Kisne kaha ki tum saree nahi pehen sakti?
Khushi: Matlab aap chahtein hain ki sabk saamne hum sharminda ho jaayein?
Arnav: Maine aisa toh nahi kaha na, baby?
Khushi: Toh kya kehna chah rahe hain aap?
Arnav: Har baar transparent saree pehenna zaroori hai? Thick material ki saree pehenogi toh koi nishaan nahi dikhega.
He kisses the lovebite on her shoulder.
Arnav: Don' worry! Tum woh cotton-silk ki saree pehen lena jo main tumhare liye Bangalore se laya tha.
Khushi: Woh saree.. istri ki hui hai. Aur uss ka rang bhi gehra hai toh.. woh hi theek rahegi.
Arnav(kisses her cheek): Ab mood theek hua?
Khushi: Usse kya farq padhta hai! Hum aapki baat samajh gaye. Aayinda aapse seedhi baat kahenge. Ab uthiye aur humein bhi uthne dijiye. Bahut kaam pada hai.
Arnav(getting up): Khushi,I'm sorry! Agar maine..
Khushi walks towards the bathroom.
Arnav: Listen to me!
She shuts the door without hearing or saying anything further.
Arnav throws the pillows on the floor in frustration.
Arnav: Damn it! Pata nahi iski problem kya hai?
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
*Later that morning*
Amma knocks the bathroom door loudly.
Amma: Ji,Raay babu ka phone hai..
Babuji: Oo se kahiye hum 10 minat ma phone karat hain..
Amma: Ji, theek hai..
When babuji comes out of the bathroom he finds amma right outside.
Amma: Ji,tauliya de dijiye. Hum sukha dete hain.
Babuji(hands the towel): Raay babu kaa kahat rahe?
Amma: Oo ko kauno jaruri kaam raha. Ae hi liye humse kahe ki Guptaji jaise hi free ho waise hi phone karvaiyyega.

Amma: Kaa baat hui?
Babuji(sitting down): Hum sahi soche rahe. Mangalvaar ki taareekh mili rahi.
Amma(serving breakfast): Tau Somvaar ko aapko bitiyan k saath Lucknow ki khaatir nikleka padi.
Babuji(nods): Somvaar ko naahi, Mangalvaar ko.
Amma: Ee ka matbal aap.. bitiyan k saath hawaai jahaaj se jaayenge?
Babuji(nods): Hum ahi naahi. Aman babu humre saathe jaayenge.
Amma: Arnav bitwa aur Aakas bitwa?

Buaji: Babua ko phone milaai k poochh leyo, Nandkisore!
Amma pours tea into buaji's cup as she sits next to babuji.
Buaji: Aakas babua ka jana tau bahutai jaruri raha! Payalia ko aisi haalat ma tum akele kaisan le jaay sakat hau, babua?
Babuji: Aapki baat tau theek hai par aaj hum oo logan na phone naahi karnaa chaahat hain.
Buaji(frowns): Kaahe?
Babuji: Kal Paayal bitiya se baat hui. Oo kahat rahi ki aaj Nanhe babu aur Lavanya bitiya bides ja rahe hain ae hi liye Aakash babu aur Arnav babu daftar se chhutti liye rahe. Ae hi liye aaj hum oo ko pareshaan naahi karna chaahat hain.

Babuji: Tikat ki jaroorat naahi padegi, Garimaji. Jana tau oo k helicopter se hi hoga.

Buaji: Dhyaan rakhna,babua. Kahin aate-jaate bakhat tumhri ya Payalia ki tabiyat kharaab na hui jay!

Babuji: Chinta naahi kijiye,didi. Hum tau sabere jai k saam tak laut aayenge. Aur jaun humka chakkar aaya ya.. tabiyat kharaab hui.. taun aate bakhat hum railgaadi ka tikat katvaaye lenge aur bitiyan ka helicopter ma bhej denge.

o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
*Later that morning*
When Khushi came to the poolside, she found Arnav tending to his plants.
Khushi: Yeh kya kar rahe hain aap?
Arnav: Lagta hai dimag k saath-saath tumhari aankhein bhi kharaab ho gayi hai!
Khushi: Neeche sablog naashte par aapka intezaar kar rahe hain.
Arnav: Mujhe abhi breakfast nahi karna hai. Sabse keh do intezaar karne ka koi fayda nahi hoga!
Khushi: Aapne sabk saath samay bitaane k liye chhutti li hai na?
Arnav(yells): Toh kya karoon? 24/7 sabk aas-pass ghoomta rahoon?
Khushi: Shaant ho jaiyye. Dekhiye, humse galti ho gayi. Hum gusse me the isiliye humein dhyaan nahi raha. Par iss ka matlab yeh nahi hai ki aap humara gussa khaane par ya gharwaalon par nikaalenge!
Khushi was momentarily scared when Arnav threw the garden scissors and marched towards her.
Arnav: Mujhe toh samajh nahi aaya ki tum gussa thi kyun? Jab ki sab kuch hum dono ki marzi se hua.
Khushi: Ha hua! Is baat se inkaar nahi karte hum. Hum bhi woh hi chahtein the jo aap chahtein the. Diqqat humein is baat se hai ki aapne jab dekha ki hum naraaz hain tab aapne humein manaane ki koshish nahi ki! Seedhe woh sab karne me lag gaye!
Arnav: Tum jo mujhe chidha rahi thi usska kya?
Khushi: Mana ki humse galti hui par galti toh aapse bhi hui na? Jab aapne dekha ki humara mood kharaab hai toh aap pehle humein mana kar phir woh sab nahi kar sakte the?
Arnav: Sorry keh chuka hoon main..
Khushi: Theek hai. toh ab hum keh dete hain- I'm sorry! Hum maante hain ki galti ho gayi humse. Aur jahaan tak aapko chidhaane ki baat hai toh ab hum aapko uss naam se kabhi nahi bulaayenge! Theek hai? Ab aap gussa shaant karenge aur humare saath neeche chalenge? Sablog bhookhe baithkar aapki raah dekh rahe hain.
Arnav: Toh kya tum yahaan sirf isiliye aayi kyunki sablog wait kar rahe hain? Ya.. main khana nahi khaunga toh beemaar padh jaunga isliye aayi?
Khushi: Seedhe-seedhe kehte hain- Aapne jo dono kaaran bataayein un k alava humare yahaan aane ka mukhya(main) kaaran yeh tha ki hum jhagda suljhana chahte the. Muddaton k baad toh aaj aisa din aaya hai jab aap ghar par honge! Hum nahi chahtein the ki aise me aap humse ya hum aapse naraaz rahein!
Arnav: Fine. Iss baat ko yaheen khatm karte hain.
Khushi(sighs): Shukar hai!
Arnav: I'm sorry once again! Agli baar jab tum naraaz hogi tab main tumhe manaaunga! Aur tumhari sari complaints door kar dunga! I hope.. abhi tum naraaz nahi ho?
Khushi: Lagtaa hai aapka shaatir dimaag bhi chhutti par hai! Agar hum naraaz hote toh yahaan jhagda suljhaane kyun aate?
She wraps her arms around his waist.
Khushi: Subha ki shuruaat itni achchhi hui aur phir.. kya se kya ho gaya!
Arnav(hugging her): Its okay. Hota hai.. What matters at the end of the day is ki hum apni problems aur issues ko sort out kar lete hain.
Khushi: So toh hai. Aur woh bhi din khatm hone se pehle! Ab toh aap neeche chalkar sab k saath samay bitaayenge na?
Arnav: For sure! But..
Khushi: Ab kya?
Arnav: Lunch k bad thode time k liye room me aa jana, sirf mere saath time spend karne k liye!
Khushi: Theek hai.
At that moment they hear NK's voice from outside the bedroom.
NK: Nannav.. Khushi bhabhi..
Khushi(breaks the hug): Humlog poolside me hain, Nanheji.. Aa jaiyye..
NK(enters): Aaplog yahaan kya kar rahe hain? Jaldi neeche chaliye. Breakfast k baad humein movie bhi toh dekhni hai!
Arnav(frowns): What movie?
Khushi(grins): Ek tha Tiger, Salmanji ki film! Sablog saath baithkar dekhenge!
Arnav: Oh.. kay!
Khushi: Humne hi yeh sujhaav diya kyunki Salmanji humare aur mamiji k pasandeeda kalaakaar hain aur Nanheji k bhi!
NK(smiles): Thats right Khushi bhabhi! So.. (extends his hand) Mujhe dijiye gaali!
Arnav: What the..!?
Khushi: Gaali nahi taali kahiye, Nanheji!
NK(holds his ear): Sorry,sorry! So.. high five! I mean.. de taali!
Khushi grins while giving him a high five.
Khushi: Teri moonch kaali!
Arnav: Tumhara ho gaya ho toh humlog neeche chalein? Ya tum chahti ho ki main NK ko gaali doon?
Khushi glares at Arnav while NK attempts to correct him.
NK: Gaali nahi,taali mere bhai! Tumhari gaali toh Paayal bhabhi hai!
Arnav: Woh gaali nahi meri saali hai!
NK(scratches his head): Saali toh gardener hota hai na?
Khushi: Nahi Nanheji. Woh toh maali hote hain!
NK: Okay,I got it! (points to Khushi's cheek) Larrkiyaan jo blusher lagaati hain..
Khushi(interrupts): Usse laali kehte hain! Laal rang ki hoti hai isiliye laali!
NK: Okay! (points to Khushi's cheek) Laal rang ki hoti hai laali,wife ki sister hoti hai saali,(points to Arnav) gardening karta hai maali..
Arnav pushed his finger away while resisting the urge to break it.
NK: Haath pe dete hain taali aur.. gaali? Yeh kya hoti hai?
Arnav opened his mouth but Khushi intervened before he could utter anything.
Khushi: Woh hum aapko baad me samjhaa denge. Uss k alaava daali, jaali, baali.. sab k matlab samjha denge! Filhaal aap chaliye. Sablog humari raah dekh rahe hain aur nashta bhi thanda ho raha hai.
NK(smiles): Okay, chaliye!
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
Arnav(gives her a side hug): Mornin di!
Anjali(smiles): Good mornin, Chhotey! Aaj tumhara din hai aur tum itni der se aa rahe ho?
Arnav: Mera din as in?
Anjali opens the lid of the casserole to reveal its contents.
Anjali: Matlab aaj Khushiji ne tumhari pasand ka naashta banaaya hai, unhone tumhare pasand ki saree peheni hai aur..
She stops abruptly when Aakash shakes his head.
Anjali: a.. aur humein toh yeh saree bahut achchhi lagi! Khushiji par yeh saree bahut achchhi lag rahi hai!
Arnav turns to give a once over to his wife who blushes and lowers her gaze.
Arnav: You're right, di! (smiles)Khushi iss saree me bahut sundar lag rahi hai!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/161285230380233186/
Anjali: Haan! Khushiji toh sundar lag hi rahi hain par saree bhi bahut sundar hai!
Arnav: Agar aapko yeh saree itni pasand aayi toh main aapk liye aisi doosri saree banva dunga.
Anjali: Uss ki zaroorat nahi padegi kyunki Khushiji ne humse kaha hai ki humara jab man karega tab woh humein yeh saree pehenne dengi!
Khushi(smiles): Bilkul di! Aapk paas bhi toh aisa sunhere(golden) rang ka blouse hai na?
Anjali nods while sipping tea.
Khushi: Uss k saath aap yeh saree pehenkar dekhiyega, bahut achchhi lagegi!
Nani: Khushi bitiya, aap bhi baithkar sabre saath nashta kar lijiye. Kal upvaas rakhne k baad aapko bhookh tau lag ahi rahi hogi.
Khushi: Nahi naniji. Hum theek hai.
Nani catches ArShi sharing a smile.
Khushi: Humein utni bhookh nahi lagi. Aur waise bhi.. yeh pasta-wasta humse nahi khaya jata!
Nani: Taun aap bhi,humri tarah, parathe kha lijiye..
Khushi: Nahi,nahi naniji. Aaplog khaiyye. Hum tab tak dopeher k khaane ki taiyyari dekh lete hain. Phir toh hum bhi film dekhne me vyast ho jayenge!
Mami: Khusi bitiya, tum paapcarn ka intejaam kiye rahi ki naahi? Aur saath ma cold dreenks ka?
Khushi: Nahi mamiji! Ghar par picture dekhte waqt hum popcorn thode hi na khayenge!
Mami: Tau ka daal-chaawal khilai ho?
Nani(chides): Manorama! Har bakhat khaane ki hi soojhat hain aapko!
Khushi: Aap fiqar mat kijiye,mamiji! Humne,jijine aur di ne milkar naashte ka pukhta intezaam kiya hai!
Mami: Kaa kiya hai? Come aan tails me!
Khushi: Pyaaz aur mirch k pakodein!
Mami(mouth waters): Hain!?
Anjali: Gobhi k samose!
Paayal: Meethi aur hari chutniyaan. Aur peene k liye thandaai.
Nani: Thandaai?
Paayal: Saadhaaran(normal) thandaai dadiji..
Mami(happy): Menu tau jabardast laagat hai!
Mamaji: Ee sab khaaye k baad dopahariya ma kuchhho naahi khaana.
Mami: Kaahe? Lunch late bhi tau kar sakat hai na?
Mamaji: Ha par ee sab k baad lunch lene se tumhra wajan aur badh jai hai!
Mami: Naahi badhega kaahe se ki hum Lavanya se dieting k tips liye rahe! Kal se hum aur Masala be-rather oo hai diet phallow karibe!
Mamaji: Achchha? Kal se parso tak?
Mami(annoyed): Tum tau sattup ahi kar leyo!
NK: Chill masiji!
Meanwhile Arnav turned to Khushi with an appreciative smile.
Arnav: Breakfast bahut achchha bana hai!
Khushi(smiles): Shukriya!
Arnav: Tum thoda bhi nahi khaaogi?
Khushi(shakes her head): Humari jilebiyaan hai na! Jab man karega tab woh hi kha lenge. Aap khaiyye, hum aapki coffee lekar aate hain.
Arnav(smiles): Thanks!
Nani(smiles): Hum aapse bahutai khush hain, Chhotey!
Arnav: Kyun nani? Don' tell me ki maine day off liya isiliye..
Nani: Naahi, hum kal ki batwaa karat rahe. Bhale hi aap Devi Maiyya ma biswas naahi karat hain, phir bhi aapne bitiya ko oo k dharmpaalan se naahi roka. Balki,aap oo ki madad kiye rahe! Oo ki tabiyat theek rahe ae hi liye kitne jatan kiye rahe. Oo k saath aarti kiye rahe, oo ko Maiyya ka sindoor lagaaye rahe. Ee ma se kuchho bhi aap beman se ya kauno k dabaav me aakar naahi kiye, poore man se kiye rahe! Aur tau aur bitiya ko aapan haath se prasaad khilaai k oo ka vrat tode rahe!
Arnav(glares at Anjali): Di?
Anjali: Sorry Chhotey! Nani pareshaan ho rahi thi na.. isiliye humne unhe bataya.
Mamaji: Bahut achchha kiya, Anjali bitiya! Ee tau achchhi baat hai, Arnav bitwa!
Nani(nods): Ha! Hum tau ee sunkar aur jyada khush hui gaye! (pats his shoulder)Sukhi rahiye!
Arnav(acknowledging nod): Thanks nani!
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
Khushi was disappointed when Arnav had to leave to attend an urgent call 10 minutes after the movie started.
When he returned, Khushi told him about the scenes he had missed in short.
Arnav: Thank you! Agar tum mujhe story ka update nahi deti tab bhi koi farq nahi padhta,kyunki main yeh movie story janne k liye nahi tumhare saath time spend karne k liye dekh raha hoon!
Khushi: Ab jab dekh hi rahe hain toh.. kahaani samajhte huye dekhiye.
Arnav nods while turning back towards the TV.
Salman is seen running after Katrina who's on a bike.
Katrina: Tum bhag kyun rahe ho?
Salman: Kyunki tum cycle pe ho na!
She immediately dismounts the bike.
Katrina: Kya hua?
Salman: Aaj raat ko mil sakte hain?
Katrina: Tonight?
Salman: Ha,tonight. Tonight is very important!
Katrina: Mr. writer, so you are asking me out on a date!
Salman: Yes Zoya ji!
Khushi(knudges Arnav): Dekha, Salmanji Katrina ji ko Zoya 'ji' keh rahe hain, jaise hum aapko Arnavji kehte hain?
Arnav nods while turning back to the TV.
Katrina: 11 baje?
Salman(nods): 11 baje bahut mahatvapoorna I mean.. important hai!
Khushi(whispers): Katrinaji ki Hindi bhi kamzor hai, aapki tarah!
Arnav nods again.
Khushi(whispers): Aap kuch bolenge bhi?
Arnav: Kya bolun? That I'm amazed at the coincidence?
Khushi: Ssshhh! Kuch mat boliye!
She turns towards the TV, annoyance reflecting on her face.
They watch the following scene in silence.
But that changes when Salman shows a meteor to Katrina.
Khushi immediately turns towards Arnav to find him looking at her.
They recall the time when Khushi had first told Arnav about the stars.
Salman: Tumhe pataa hai aisa meteor shower last kab hua tha?
Katrina: 16th june,1991. Main 6 saal ki thi. Mere papa k pass ek puraani Willys' jeep hoti thi aur uss me baith k woh mujhe sheher se door le jaate the.. taarey dekhne. Woh hamesha kehte the "Taarey dekhne se insaan ka dil hamesha khush ho jata hai kyunki ek din humare saare chahnewale aasmaan me tara ban jaate hain! Aur wahaan se dekhkar humein dua dete hain!"
Arnav gulps while Khushi has tears in her eyes.
He dabs at her tears while the scene continues in the movie.
Salman: Tumhare papa kahaan hai?
Katrina points towards the stars.
Salman: Kaunse?
Katrina(points out): Wahaan..
Salmaan: Waah! Mere papa k bagal me!
Katrina smiles.
Salman: Tumhare papa ka naam kya tha?
Arnav realizes something when he hears this dialogue.
Arnav(whispers): Khushi..
Khushi: hmm?
Arnav(whispers): Maine toh tumse kabhi poochha hi nahi ki.. tumhare.. amma-babuji k naam kya the?
Khushi(whispers): Humari amma ka naam Neelima Gupta tha aur humare babuji ka naam Padma Prakash Gupta tha. Waise toh.. humne bhi aapse kabhi nahi poochha ki.. aapke.. babuji ka naam kya tha?
Arnav: Meri maa ka naam pataa hai na tumhe?
Khushi(nods): Ratnaa..
Arnav: Woh hi jaanna kaafi hai. Unka naam mere liye koi maayine nahi rakhta isiliye tumhare liye bhi koi maayine nahi rakhna chahiye!
Khushi(holds his hand): Hum samajh gaye.
Arnav: Tum movie dekho.. In sab baaton me tumhari movie miss ho rahi hai.
Khushi(thinks): Inke chehre par muskaan laane k liye humein kuch karna padega.
Arnav: Kya soch rahi ho?
Khushi: Thodi der me dhishoom-dhishoom.. humara matlab.. fight scenes aayenge toh.. agar humne kisi scene me taaliyan bajaai ya Salmanji ki taareef ki toh aap.. bura toh nahi maanenge na?
Arnav: Thodi der pehle NK ne seeti bajaai thi tab maine kuch kaha tha?
Khushi: Nahi!
Arnav: Toh tumhe aisa kyun lagtaa hai ki main tumhe kuch kahunga? Main chahta hoon ki tum movie enjoy karo! Chillaana hai chillaao!
Khushi: Sach?!
Arnav(nods): Ya. Taaliyaan bajaani ho toh taaliyaan bajaao, seeti bajaani.. toh tumhe nahi aati hogi toh..
Khushi(interrupts): Aati hai na!
She whistles before Arnav could stop her.
Everyone turns towards them.
NK: wow Khushiji! I mean.. bhabhiji!
Mami: Abhi se kaahe seeti bajaaye rahi ho?
Khushi: Toh kya hua mamiji? Yeh zaroori thode hi na hai ki hum maaramaari wale scene me hi seeti bajaa sakte hain? Salmanji ki film ka toh har scene seeti bajaane laayak hota hai! Hai na?
Mami: Oo tau hai! Hum bhi bajaavat hai!
She whistles loudly, much to nani's dismay.
Khushi: Aaplog film dekhiye, hum kuch khaane k liye lekar aate hain.
She is about to get up when Arnav stops her by holding her hand.
Arnav: Om Prakash hai na?
Khushi: Humne yeh film pehle bhi dekhi hui hai. Hum abhi aaye!
Anjali smiles when Arnav gets up all ready to go to the kitchen.
Anjali: Kya hua Chhotey? Kuch chahiye toh humein bataao, hum le aayenge.
Arnav: Kuch nahi, di. I'll be right back!
**********************************************************
Khushi: Areh! Aap yahaan kyun aa gaye?
Arnav(walks upto her): Kyunki mujhe kuch chahiye.
Khushi: Kya chahiye?
Arnav: Hari chutney!
The color rises on Khushi's cheeks when Arnav leans closer to her.
Khushi: Ch.. chut.. ney aur..?
Arnav: Aur kya?
Khushi: Mat.. lab pak.. ore.. ya.. sam.. ose..?
Arnav: Nope! Sirf chutney!
Khushi: Sirf.. chutney.. kaise.. kha.. sakte.. hain aap?
The words tumbled out of Khushi's mouth just like that.
Before she knew it, Arnav held her right hand and guided it towards the bowl of chutney.
Khushi: Nahi..
Arnav: Kya nahi?
Khushi: Yeh.. mat kariye!
She balls her fist tightly.
Arnav(shrugs): Okay! Toh main kuch aur kar leta hoon!
He dips his index finger into the bowl and smears it on his lips.
Khushi's breath hitches as he licks his lips.
The desire to lick his lips makes her suck in a deep breath.
Arnav: Chutney achchhi hai! Try some!
He holds up his index finger.
Arnav: Thodi si hi hai is me but.. its enough for a small taste!
Khushi: Kya kar.. rahe hain aap? Sab.. log..
Arnav(completes the sentence): Movie dekh rahe hain!
Khushi: Om Prakashji..
Arnav(completes the sentence): Market gaya hua hai!
Khushi: Lakshmiji..
Arnav: Rahim chacha k saath nani k room me hai. Aman office me hai. Amma, babuji aur buaji unk ghar me hain. Did I miss anyone?
Khushi(smiles): Nahi sudhrenge aap!
She licks the remaining chutney off his finger.
Arnav: Kabhi nahi!
Khushi: Bas ab! Jaiyye.
Arnav: Ab tak maine samose nahi khaye! Aur meethi chutney bhi nahi!
Khushi: Kya.. matlab?
Arnav: Tum hi kehti ho na ki di k banaaye huye gobhi k samose meethi chutney k saath bahut achchhe lagte hain? *when she nods*Tum mujhe ek samosa apne haath se khila do phir main baahar chalaa jaunga.
Khushi(unable to believe him): Pakkaa?
Arnav(smiles): Pakkaa!
Khushi dips a samosa in the sweet chutney and holds it near his mouth.
Arnav takes a small bite before taking it towards her mouth.
As expected, Khushi takes a big bite of the samosa.
Arnav: Relax Khushi! Koi nahi aayega yahaan.
Khushi nods while chewing.
Arnav: So aaraam se khaao..
They feed each other till the samosa is reduced to a small piece.
Khushi: Lijiye..
Arnav: Main yeh nahi, woh lunga!
Khushi(wonders aloud): Woh kya?
The last piece falls from her hand as Arnav claims her lips.
Khushi holds his head with her left hand,threading her fingers through his hair while Arnav holds her waist with his left hand.
Khushi speaks as soon as they break apart.
Khushi: Achchha hua.. aapne apne.. jhootey haath se.. humein nahi pakda.. varnaa humari.. saree kharaab.. ho jaati.
Arnav: Achchha hua.. tumne apne.. jhoota haath.. mere sar par.. nahi rakhaa.. varnaa mere.. baal kharaab.. ho jaate!
Khushi: Woh toh.. waise bhi.. kharaab ho hi.. rahe hain..
She turns around to wash her hand in the sank.
Arnav touches his hair with his left hand.
Arnav: Kya hua.. mere baalon ko?
Khushi(turns to him): Ab tak toh.. kuch nahi hua par.. agar aise hi aap unme.. hairgel daalte rahenge na.. toh das-pandrah.. saal baad jab.. hum aapk sar par.. haath pherenge toh.. humein baal nahi.. taal milegi!
Arnav: Nonsense!
Khushi: Sach keh rahe hain hum! Humari maaniye aur inme chameli ka nahi toh badam ka, nariyal ka ya aamle ka tal lagaana shuru kar dijiye!
Arnav: Mere baalon me mujhe lagaana hai woh main dekh lunga!
Khushi: Toh dekh lijiyega! Humara kya hai? Hum toh waise bhi naashta lene aaye the. Aap hi.. aakar shuru ho gaye!
Arnav: Theek hai toh ab main ja raha hoon.
Khushi: Picture nahi dekhenge?
Arnav: I meant haath dhoney ja raha hoon.
Khushi(smiles): Theek hai.
Mami pounces on the tray the moment Khushi places it on the coffee table.
Mami: Kitna time lagaavat ho phatti saadee? Matbal.. Khusi bitiya!
Khushi: Maaf kijiyega mamiji!
Mami(picking up a samosa): Mensan naat!
Anjali: Chhotey kahaan hai, Khushiji?
Khushi: Woh haath.. dhoney.. gaye hain. Khaane se.. pehle haath.. dhoney chahiye na?
Arnav: Aur khaane k baad bhi!
Khushi turns around to find Arnav approaching her.
Arnav(cocks an eyebrow): Right Khushi?
Khushi: j.. ji.
Masala mama: Baith jao tum dunno! Humri filamwa miss hui rahi hai!
ArShi quickly take their seats.
Arnav is shocked to see Khushi filling a plate for herself.
Arnav: Kya kha rahi ho tum?
Khushi: Mirch k pakore.
She turns to him with a fake sweet smile.
Khushi: Aap khaayenge?
Arnav: No, thanks! Tum kha paaogi?
Khushi: Haan! Humare pet me bahut jagah bachi hai! Hum toh pakore bhi khaayenge aur thandaai bhi piyenge!
Anjali: Aur samosey?
Khushi: Nahi di.. woh.. hum shaam ki chai k saath.. khaayenge.
Anjali: Koi baat nahi!
Khushi: Aap samose lijiye na.. aur jijaji ko bhi dijiye. Jiji tum..
Paayal: Nahi,nahi Khushi! Samosey dekhkar hi humein.. kuch ho raha hai. Hum tali hui cheezein zyaada kha nahi paate hain aaj-kal.
Khushi: Oh ho! toh phir.. tum kya khaaogi?
Paayal: Aakash humare liye Lemon tart aur Swiss roll lekar aaye hain. Toh.. hum woh hi kha lenge.
Khushi: Theek hai. Hum lekar aate hain.
Paayal: Nahi,ab tum baitho. Hum le aate hain.
Aakash: Tum rehne do, Paayal. Main lekar aata hoon.
Khushi nods at Paayal as Aakash leaves for the kitchen.
Paayal blushes in response.
Khushi(turns to Arnav): Toh kal jijaji bhi aapk saath Khan market gaye the?
Arnav(nods): Humlog office se aate waqt uss bakery se hote huye aaye.
Khushi(smiles): Badhiya! Aise hi kisi din.. office se laut-te waqt.. Chandni chowk hote aaiyyega! Wahaan Jalebiwala ki dukaan se humare liye aadha kilo jilebiyaan, Gianiji ki hatti se chhole bhature aur Kaadarbhai ki dukaan se Gulaab ka ittar le aaiyyega!
Arnav: Why not?!
Khushi: Achchha?
Arnav: Jab tum office aane lagogi tab hum roz ghar aate waqt kaheen na kaheen hote huye aayenge! Ek din Khan market, doosre din Chandni chowk toh teesre din kahin aur!
Khushi: Aap humein office aane k liye laalach de rahe hain?
Arnav: Main bas bataa raha hoon tumhe.
Khushi: Kya? Aapk saath office aane-jaane k 101 faayde?
Arnav(smiles): Exactly!
Khushi smiles while taking a bite of the mirchi pakora.
Arnav(whispers in her ear): Aur bhi bahut faaydein hain jin k baare me agar maine tumhe yahaan bataa diya toh you'll kill me!
Khushi(whispers): Isiliye apnaa moonh band rakhiye aur sharaafat se humse.. thoda door baithiye!
Arnav did what he was told.
Eventually when khushi was done with her snacking, he held her hand.
Khushi sighed when he drew random patterns on it with his thumb.
They turned towards each other when the song Laapata started.
Khushi(whispers): Aapko bhi cruise ki yaad aa gayi?
Arnav nods while pulling her close.
Khushi rests her head on his shoulder.
She lifts her head as the song comes to an end.
Arnav: Let it be..
When she shakes her head, he points towards Lavanya who was sitting right in front of nani with her head on NK's shoulder.
When he points towards Paayal, Khushi sees PaaYash's entwined hands in her lap.
He wraps an arm around her as she places her head back on his shoulder.
Khushi(whispers): Ab theek hai?
Arnav(whispers): Could be better..
Khushi(lifts her head): Kaise?
Arnav(whispers): agar tum bhi.. you know what I mean?
Khushi wraps an arm around his waist.
Khushi(whispers): Ab?
Arnav whispers "perfect" before planting a kiss on the top of her head.
o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_o
*Later that night, outside the Indira Gandhi International Airport*
Khushi tears up while hugging Lavanya.
Khushi: Humein aapki bahut yaad aayegi, Lavanyaji!
Lavanya: Main bhi tumhe bahut miss karungi, Chamkeeli!
Khushi: Achchha samay badi jaldi beet jata hai! Pichchle kuch dinon me humne kitne maze kiye na?
Lavanya: Of course! Agar tum mere aur NK k saath nahi aayi hoti toh na toh humari shopping itne achchhe se ho pati aur na hi humein utna maza aata! Thank you so much! You're a sweetheart!
Khushi: Baar-baar thank you mat kahiye! (breaks the hug)Aaplogon k bahaane humein bhi ghoomne-phirne ka mauka mil gaya, kuch khareedari humne bhi kar li aur aadhi Dilli ki sair bhi ho gayi! Ab toh humein intezaar rahega, aap dono ki shaadi ka! (turns to NK)Kyun Nanheji? Jab hum aapki shaadi par wahaan jayenge tab aap humein Sydney ki sair karaayenge na?
NK: Sydney hi kyun? Aapko jahaan jana hoga main aapko wahaan lekar jaunga!
Khushi(smiles): Pakki baat?
NK(shows thumbs up): Pakki baat!
Khushi shakes hands with him while Lavanya hugs Arnav.
Lavanya: Thank you,ASR! Last time jab main yahaan se gayi thi tab.. bahut sad hokar gayi thi. Iss baar main bahut zyaada khush hoon!
ASR: I'm really sorry bout last time! I could've handled the whole issue in a better way but.. anyways. I'm really proud of you, Lavanya! Tumne humare break up jis maturity se handle kiya.. Maine jo kiya us k baad bhi tumne humari friendship ko nahi toda..
Lavanya: Main aisa kyun karti ASR? Main jaan gayi thi tum Chamkeeli se pyaar karte ho aur..
Arnav(interrupts): Tum toh mujhse bhi pehle jaan gayi thi!
Lavanya: Of course not! Tum bahut pehle se jaante the but you kept denying.. Thats it! Finally tumne accept kar liya aur ab dekho, your love for her is for everyone to see!
Arnav: You're sucha wonderful person Lavanya! You deserve to be loved and cherished! I'm glad you found someone who could love you the way you wanted to be loved!
Arnav hugs NK before continuing.
Arnav: I know he'll keep you happy,forever!
Khushi(smiles): Devi Maiyya aap dono ki jodi ko hamesha salaamat rakhein! Aap dekhiyega Lavanyaji, yeh dhai mahine bhi palak jhapakte hi beet jayenge! Phir woh ghadi aa jaayegi jab aap Nanheji ki ho jaayengi aur Nanheji aapke!
Arnav: Tum dono apni shaadi ko lekar jitne excited ho Khushi bhi utni hi excited hai!
Khushi: Kyun na ho?!
NK: Khushi bhabhi meri bhabhi bhi hain aur Anya ki friend bhi so woh toh double excited hongi hi na mere bhai?
Arnav(nods): Ab tumlogon ko nikalna chahiye.
Khushi: Aaplog aapna khayaal rakhiyega aur pahuchte hi humein phone kar dijiyega.
Lavanya: Sure! You take care. Aur masiji ka bhi dhyaan rakhna. She became very emotional.
Khushi: Mamiji ki chinta mat kariye. Hum sab hain na unk saath? Aur ab toh Chandu mamaji bhi aa gaye hain. Do-ek din me unka mood theek ho hi jayega!
NK: See you Nannav! Bye bhabhi! See you soon!
ArShi returned to the parking lot after bidding them goodbye.
Once they were seated in the SUV, Arnav took his phone out of his pocket.
Khushi: Di ab tak jag rahi hongi.
Arnav: I don' think so. Kyun?
Khushi: Aapne phone nikala toh humein laga ki aap di ko phone lagaa rahe hain..
Arnav: Maine phone isiliye nikala kyunki main iss me tumhari aawaaz record karna chahta hoon.
Khushi(shocked): Kya?!
Arnav(nods): Subha hi karna chahta tha but time hi nahi mila. Phir kal subha humein buaji k yahaan jana hai toh probably kal bhi time nahi milega. So maine socha ki abhi kar loon.
Khushi: Aap humari aawaaz isiliye record karna chahtein hain na taaki agli baar jab aap humse maunvrat rakhvaaye tab iss recording ko sunkar aapko chain mile?
Arnav: You know me so well!
Khushi: Theek hai. Shuru kariye recorder.
Arnav: Go..
Khushi: Na toh hum aapse yeh kahenge ki hum aapse kitna pyaar karte hain aur na hi yeh kahenge ki jab aap humare saath nahi hote hain tab hum aapko kitna miss karte hain! Hum bas itna kahenge ki humein maunvrat rakhna bilkul pasand nahi hai par aapk kaaran humein nirjal vrat k saath-saath maunvrat bhi rakhna padhta hai! Lard governer! Agle vrat me na toh hum purna maunvrat rakhenge! Kisise baat nahi karenge! Na aapse ishaaron me baatein karenge na aapko message karenge! Phir kaatiyega poora din iss hi recording k sahaare!
Arnav(ends the recording): What the..!?
Khushi: Yeh humara faisla hai! Aapk faisle ka humne sammaan kiya aur ab aap humare faisle ka sammaan karenge! Hai na Arnavji?
Arnav: Seatbelt lagaao.
Khushi: Rooth gaye na? Humara faisla pasand nahi aaya na? Isiliye hum keh rahe hain ki maunvrat ki baat hi khatm kar dijiye!
Arnav: No! Noways! I accept your decision. And I will not alter my decision, come what may!
Khushi: Theek hai! Aane dijiye teej! Phir dekhenge kaun kis k faisle par khara utarta hai! Aur kaun ramanchi karta hai!
She fastens her seatbelt as Arnav starts the ignition.
Khushi(thinks): Hey Devi Maiyya! Pataa nahi kya hoga iss teej par? Humein toh yeh bhi nahi pataa ki teej hai kab? Kal sabse pehle naniji se woh hi pata karenge. Aur phir.. apneaap ko taiyyar kar lenge, poorna maunvrat rakhne k liye!
She makes up her mind to stand by her decision.

Precap:
Mamaji: Kaa naam raha oo ladki ka?
Masala mama(tries to recall): Oo ka naam.. a.. oo ka naam.. ka raha? Oo tau hum forgetwa gaye! Par.. oo k haath par patti rahi!
Mamaji: Haath par patti matbal.. Khushi bitiya?
Masala mama: Ha! Oo hai! Oo aapan pati se kahat rahi ki jaun oo patti nikaal degi taun sabhai ko pataa chal jayega ki oo k haath ma chot haiye naahi!
Mamaji(shocked): Kaa?
Masala mama: Ha brother in laa! Oo kahat rahi ki jalne ka nisaan chhupai k khaatir oo ko patti baandhe rakhni hogi!
