Chapter Six
'Araina what is this? Care to explain why you are standing here with your arms around this young man?I'm waiting for you're explanation?' Millind asked.
Araina looked terrifed, even though she knew she had nothing wrong, but just the thought of being caught with a guy from her Bahia scared her.
'Bahia, it's nothing. I was walking to the door without looking and I was about to trip but was saved by this man.' Explained Araina.
Millind walked upto Araina who was know standing a few metres apart from Ronak.
'Gudia it's ok, anyway young man, Millind Das' extending his hand forward to be shaked.
'Sir, Ronak Manhortra, maybe you don't recognise me. We met at the party of the Manhortra, Das and Rai contract. Mr Manhortra is my father.' he replied explaining.
'Ronak, I do remember, my apologies for forgeting. Anyway, Araina Dadi se mile?' Millind continued.
'Yes Bahia, I was just about to leave, bur I'll wait for you'
Nodding Millind walked upstaris to meet dadi, along with Araina.
'Yeh Araina ka Bahia toh baree gussa wale he. Save yourself Ronak.' smiling to himself he left upstairs to meet dadi as well.
'Prateeksha, we shall continue this tommorow. I need to go meet Suhanis dadi, unke tabeet teek nahin hain.' Shashank said.
'Kya!!! What happened to her?' She explained
Shashank was shocked as she knew dadi so well.
'I don't think it's serious, but app Suhani or unki family ko kaise jante hai?' Shashank asked.
'Woh meri chote behn or Suhani best friends hai, toh mein uske family ko jante hoon. Aur app?' She replied.
'Well me being a Manhortra are very close family friends with the Rais. Toh mein chalta hoon, if you want I can take you too visit her as well' Shashank offered.
Prateeksha agreed, and both set off to see dadi.
'Hello, Aziz Bahia, woh no one is at home, as we have come to visit Suhanis dadi. She is ill. Toh Bahia told me to tell you not to worry and we will be home soon' Araina said.
'Araina beta, kise baat Karee ho?' asked Sonia.
'one minute Bahia,....... Ur aunty woh it's Aziz Bahia, I'm just telling him no one is home, as he doesn't have the keys. And that we will come soon' Araina replied.
'Araina do one thing, just call him over here, everyone is here anyway, Ronak, and Subhash uncle and Nandita Aunty have just arrived with Dadi, so it fine.' Sonia said.
'Okai aunty. Urm Bahiaa I'm back, sonia aunty told me to tell you to just come round to Suhanis house.' Araina explained the rest, and Aziz told her he will be thee soon.
'So do you know the Rais well?' Shahank asked in the car.
'Araina and Suhani have ben best friends for a while, so we know Vikram uncle and Sonia Aunty well, but Dadi has alway been fond of us kids.' replied Prateeksha.
'Aur koon hai tumhari family mein?' he continued his questions.
'Six years back, our parents died, but my eldest brother, Millind bought us up well. After Millind Bahia it me, then younger to me is Aziz, who is just finishing his studies soon, and then our baby of the house, Araina, who we call 'gudia. That's all, us four brothers sisters are each other life. Aur app ki family mein?' she told then asked also.
'Hmmm, meri family mein hain Dadi, eldest and very lovable, my mother Nandita, father Subhash and my brother Ronak.'
They continued there family talk getting to know more about one another. After twenty minutes or so, bothe reached out to turn the radio on, making the hands touch. Being caught up in the moment, they stared in each others eyes. As they were standing at a traffic light Shahank was not driving.
'BEEP BEEP!!!'
Realising what had just happened they both pulled their hands back and Shashank started to drive again.
The song filled the background from the radio.
Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Is pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara
Mein hoon yahan
Tu hai yahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Aa bhi ja
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa
Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you โฆ so..
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
I love u
I love u so
Baby i love u
At this point both Shashank and Prateeksha looked at each other. Realising they both looked at the same time they looked away almost immediatly. She sing continued with both know only taking secret glances when the other was not looking.
Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein
Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein
Tu jo mili ek din mujhe
Mein kahin ho gaya lapata
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa
Kar diya Deewana dard-e-Kash ne
Chain cheena isqh ke ehsaas ne
Bekhayali di hai tere pyaas ne
Chaya suroor hai
Kuch to zaroor hai
Yeh dooriyan
Jeene na de
Hal mera tujhe na pata
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa
Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you โฆ so..
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
Baby I love u
I love uโฆ๐ณ ๐ณ
The song ended and not being able to out up with any other romantic song, Prateeksha turned the radio off. Five minutes later, the car pulled up infront of Rai mansion.
Walking in together, Prateeksha discovered all her family inside, along with Shashnaks as well. Both came in and greeted everyone. As The Manhortras had met all of the Das's at the party everyone was well settle in at who was who.
After meeting Dadi, who insisted she was much better everyone wa sitting in the eneormous living room full of thirteen people.
'Bas Vikram uncle hum chalte hai, it's getting late.' Millind said.
'Millind beta stay for a while, eat dinne here, as a big family, everyone will get too know each other better as well.' Vikram uncle said. Not being able to refuse he stayed.
It was a huge family affair and everyone had a great time, even the two Dadis who were best friends for over a generation know.
'Bahia, I'll be back, phone ayah hai.' Prateeksha said.
'Hello who is it?' Prateeksha asked.
Hearing no reply she put the phone down, not realising someone was looking at her from the outside window.
