Chapter 6 Twist over Twist.. Double K ke liye!
Rooted on the spot, eyes wide open, surprise takeover as she looks into the eyes of the unexpected visitor on her doorstep! As she gets back from her surprise mode, she yells in excitement.
Khushi: Viren!
Khushi was stepping forward when..
Viren: Statue!
Viren throws his mischievous smirk and approaches Khushi while she stays idle on her one foot. He comes face to face with her and stands crossing his arms to his chest. Examining Khushi, he’s having a lot of fun seeing her in that uncomfortable position. She looks at him silently with pleading eyes for release and her puppy sad face causes him to burst out laughing. He approaches closer and gets his arms around her, pulling her in a long hug. His lips against her ears, he finally whispers..
Viren: Release!
Khushi finally gets onto her feet and let her body falls into Viren’s hug while she passes her arms around his neck. Few seconds later, they break their hug when they hear a voice coming from the stairs.
Payal: Acha.. Jaise dost mila, behein bhoolgaye. (So.. as you meet your friend, you forget your sister)
Khushi and Viren look at each other and grimace amusingly. Viren goes to Payal and gives her a side hug.
Viren: Come on Di, mein aap hi ke paas araha tha jab raste mein ek mota sa statue mujh par girgaya. (Come on Di, I was coming to you when on the way a fat statue fell on me.)
Her mouth forms an O-shape and eyes get wide open.
Khushi: You calling me fat?
Viren looks at her with a stern face.
Viren: Are you fat?
She nods in denial like a kid.
Viren: Are you a statue?
Khushi: Nooo!
Viren: To phir, how can you say I’m talking about you.
As a glint of mischief appears on his face, he looks at Payal.
Viren: Di, yeah I was saying as I was coming inside, yeh jo bari bari aankhen, chubby chubby cheeks, moti si ladki.. wohi jiska naam khushi, she didn’t spare me and fell on poor me! (Di, yeah I was saying as I was coming inside, big big eyes, chubby cheeks, a fat girl... the one whose name is Khush, she didn’t spare me and on poor me!)
Ready to run away, he hears Khushi yelling at him...
Khushi: VVVViiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrreeeeeeennnnnnn!
They both set off for a mouse and cat game, running in the studyroom, in the dinning room, up the stairs but her misfortune she bumps directly into Nanaji. Breathless, her eyes move everywhere searching for an escapade from the Hitler. Thankfully, Viren reach on time and takes the blessing of Nanaji.
Viren: Namaste Nanaji!
Nanaji: Namaste Beta!
Viren: itne dino baad Khushi se mila, bhas kuch hasi Mazak aur who apse takragayi, Sorry! (After so many day, I’m meeting Khushi, just having some fun, and she bumps into you, Sorry!)
Nanaji: Koi baat nahi beta.. (It’s ok beta)
He turns to Payal leaving Khushi perplexed.
Nanaji: Bahu!
Payal: Ji Nanaji! (Yes Nanaji)
Nanaji: Guest rooms tayar rehna, aaj raat kuch mehmaan aane wala hai.(Prepare the guest rooms, tonight some guests are coming)
Payal: Ji! (Ok)
Khushi, still in a state of shock when Nanaji turns and goes away, as she realizes Viren’s presence next to her, she gets back to reality.
Khushi: What the hell?
Viren looks at her questioningly.
Viren: Ab kya hua Happiness? (Now what happen Happiness?)
Khushi: Mujhse aisi baat karte hai jaise mein koi chor jo ghar mein ghoos gaya aur tumhe.. ‘’Koi baat Nahi beta..’’ (He talks to me as if I’m so thief who barged in the house and you.. ‘’No problem beta..’’)
Viren laughs at her expressions as she imitates Nanaji while Payal comes to them.
Payal: Ok youngsters, hasi Mazak baad mein, let’s have breakfast, phir mujhe guest room ko bhi tayar karna hai. (Ok youngsters, fun later, let’s have breakfast, then I also have to prepare the guest rooms)
Khushi: Acha babhi, kamse kam batado kaun mehmaan aanewala hai? (Ok bhabi. But tell us who is coming?)
Payal: Pata nahi, shayad kuch ghar ki renovation ke liye. (Don’t know, I think some people for the renovation of the house)
Khushi: Renovation, great! At least this old mansion will get some new stuff.
Viren: Chatterbox! Ab chale, iss bichare Viren bahut bhooklagi.(Chatterbox! Shall we, this poor Viren is very hungry)
She grimaces and takes out her tongue before going towards the table. Nanaji had his breakfast in his room while Khushi, Viren, Payal and sleepy Anu gets to the breakfast table. No Nanaji means a lot of fun.. Seeing Anu half asleep, Khushi and Viren teases her and they start throwing food on her. Fortunately, Payal was here to control her 3 kids. After all Viren might be one of the famous lawyers of Delhi but when these two get together, they get back to their teens age. Viren stays at the mansion the whole day having fun with Anu and catching up with Khushi. In the evening, Khushi was in the kitchen with Payal, helping her for the dinner when Anu comes to her.
Anu: Hottie, please help kardo na, kaunsa dress pehnu contest karliye.(Hottie, please help me, which dress to wear for the contest)
Payal: Contest?
Unaware of Payal’s presence, Anu gets startled when she hears Payal. Tensed she looked at Khushi who finally handles the situation.
Khushi: Yes Bhabi, apko pata nahi, mere aur anu ke bich mein ek beauty contest hoga. Who’s dressing sense is the best? But lagta hai, that I’ll be the winner. (Yes bhabi, you don’t know, we are having a contest to see who’s dressing sense is the best? But I think, that I’ll be the winner)
Anu gasps, relieved.
Anu thinks: that was close!
Payal: Ok, but careful, you know nanaji will be angry if he hears about this.
Khushi: Don’t worry bhabi! It’s just for fun.
As Payal turns away khushi bends down and murmurs to Anu..
Khushi: Tum jao, I’ll just come. (You go, I’ll just come)
Anu gives her a thumbs up and rushes to her room. After some time Khushi joins her and the dress selection begins. Not finding any appropriate dress except too traditional ones, Khushi went to her room and gets a nice black dress from her luggage.
Walking back to Anu’s room, suddenly some voices takes over her attention and she walks to Nanaji’s room. She sees Viren talking with Nanaji and she smirks.
Khushi thinks: Nanaji ko maska lagarahi ho.
She nods and turns away but her steps stop all of a sudden. She holds herself to the wall as she heard the last few words of Nanaji.
Nanaji: Kuch hi dino baad Khushi iss ghar se chalajayegi, tumhari dulhan bankar. Welcome to the family Viren beta! (In few days, Khushi will leave this house as your bride. Welcome to the family Viren beta!)
Khushi gets hold of herself and walks to nowhere. She was shocked.
Khushi thinks: dulhan? Kuch dinon baad? (Bride? In few days?)
Suddenly her thoughts break when Anu comes to her and grab the dress.
Anu: Wow Hottie, that’s super cool! That’s final, I’m wearing this one, I’m gonna steal everyone’s heart, especially cute ones!
Anu gets confused as Khushi had no reactions. She shakes her arms bringing her back.
Anu: Hottie, what happen?
Khushi: Hmm.. nothing, I’ll just be back.
She walks away leaving a puzzled Anu. She enters the kitchen and goes straight to Payal as she desperately needed answers. But unfortunately Payal seems to be very busy. Before saying a word, Payal interrupts her.
Payal: Khushi please, I’m stuck, the servants are on leave and I still have much to do. Please, prepare these jalebis, the guests will be here at any moment.
Khushi: Ok Bhabi, relax.. don’t worry, I’ll help you.
Payal gets to the dining table, making the preparations the way Nanaji likes when he receives guest. In the kitchen, in an absent-minded state, Khushi prepares the jalebi. Lost in her thoughts, she doesn’t notice Viren entering the kitchen. As he smirks, he comes to her and notices her right cheek spoilt with some yellow thing. He smiled and his hands reach her face to clean the jalebi paste but Khushi gets back to reality and on the spot she steps back. Confused, he looked at her but then his teasing smirk appears on his face.
Khushi: What... what happen?
Viren: there’s something here? On your left cheek!
She wipes her left cheek with her hands full of jalebi paste while Viren holds himself from bursting out laughing.
Viren: Here also, on the nose, and the forehead...
Confused, Khushi wipes off her face and Viren turns to the kitchen counter. He takes a utensil cover and places it infront of her. As she sees her reflection on the cover, she gets shock and fumes in anger when Viren let go his laugh.
Khushi: Vireeennnn!
He runs away followed by Khushi with the bowl of jalebi while Viren rushes to Payal for help. Focusing on Viren, she collides into a manly figure causing all the jalebi paste to fall on him. Scared like hell that she bumps into Nanaji again, she closes her eyes in distress praying to god for a savior. Slowly she lifts her eyelids open ready to face the hitler. But the hitler never came! Instead her eyes get wide open as she sees an irritated and yellow Arnav standing infront of her. The world stops...Her breath stops, and Khushi...
She thinks: Nightmare.. nightmare! Wake up Khushi!
