lovely_yaraThanks a lot for your constant support and lovely comments.
A question before you all proceed
How many of you have met people after a long time and all they accept is for you to remember them fresh and as well to remember what all you had done with them and what they used to give you as a token of their love?
Write tell us the persons name and m sure he or she would have told you what it was.

Mine are my neighbors at the place where i used to live till 8 years old and they expect me to remeber the two poems which i used two recite day and night az i used to love them. But now i dont even remember tge first two line and just yesterday when i met them again they wanted me to sing it as i used to earlier

Arjun

With my one hand clad into the plaster and one hand trying to set the duppata(scarf) I walked down the stairs of Arohi's house.

"gosh why does mom has to buy me these things?" I thought loudly making dev laugh.

"what?"

"dude, you could have simple told aunty that you are not comfortable, and above that it's not compulsory that you need to wear that duppata, you can always remove it whenever you want."

"Yeah remove it and miss the chance of Arohi setting it up for him so lovingly?" kabeer came down and teased me. This guy is so stupid!

"shut up kabeer, if anyone hears you remember we all would b-"

I just couldn't complete my sentence how could I when all my senses had gone numb... there was this warm yet painful feeling in my heart seeing the person in front of me.

My sister was right somewhere or the other throughout my life I won't be able to meet a person like her. But the question was can I really claim her mine?

"oh hey Arohi!" dev exclaimed in my ears. I knew why he did that, all I want right now is for him to fall in love with someone so that I could show him, what it means to scream in someone's ears.

"hii dev, kabeer." She looked at me, and yet again decided to ignore. But even I had my ways.

I know very well how irritated she would get if she finds someone struggling with their dupatta. And hence again I tried to use this stupid cloth for my rescue. She did saw me but went away from there as if it didn't matter to her at all.

"hahaha... ohh god dude what did you do this time? She is damn pissed." Kabeer teased me . But rather than talking with those two idiots I decided to follow the most beautiful lady of today's evening.

I was about to approach her when all of a sudden my younger sister kriya came running to me with a plate filled with flowers.

No I can't do that ... not anymore!

"are bhaiya, wait!" kriya literally yelled, gaining a bit of attention from some of the guests who have started to arrive.

For a "small function" as kavya aunty had said the house was now itself with about 50 people and yet some more were to come.

The decorations were fabulous, why not it was us who had done that, but it was one of the biggest mistake of our life to take up that responsibility with my mom being our supervisor.

"bhiaya, please hold these garlands for me, I have to arrange them on the entrance."

"nope, not at all kriya, do you even realize my plaster smells like that of flowers, leave them even I was smelling like these roses, I had to take bath for about an hour with this plaster to get rid of that. So no I am not doing anything for you or mom, I have got things to do."

I literally stormed out of there, not at all waiting for her reply; she can find some other garland holder for her.

Since morning I have been given this post of garland holder, it started with mom then Bhabhi, then as well my sister. Accept for that one person who I really wanted to call me for some damn help.

The plan to follow Arohi and talk to her went down the drain, when I came face to face with her. She looked so pretty in her blues fusion gown which showed her back and perfect flat belly through the net which was bordered with small golden flowers and leaves. the blue color and the lightings glowed her already glowing milky white skin, her smile just completed her perfect look.

"do you want something?" she asked.

but what a great mistake you did Arohi? I thought.

Her voice only mesmerized me making me keep staring at her like a creep.

I saw her shaking her head at my stupidity and was about to say something when she was called by her mom.

"Arohi come its time."

Arohi gave me a look and walked towards the small stage which we had made where the small princess was happily cuddling her mother.

She made me smile, the baby had a beautiful aura around her. When raj was born I was very happy, at the beginning I wanted it to be a girl so that I could name her Anika, but it was raj who we got as god's gift.

Somewhere I have heard "if a particular thing happens according to our wish, then its good... but if it doesn't then its best, because that's god's wish and its best for us."

I walked towards the dais where the rest of my friends were standing .

"Done with eating my friend in your mind?" Abha asked while she rested her hand on my shoulder.

"Excuse me, baby come here I have a similar shoulder, well more sexy than he has." Vihaan pulled her possessively towards him and glared at me.

I shook my head at the two as they started to bicker, and transferred my attention to the beauty who was doing certain rituals which didn't get into my head. But above all, what took my breath away was the little girl dressed in small pink frock waving her hand at everyone and her eyes on me.

The way she smiled the way her black eyes wandered from one place to another and yet again and again landed on me, it made me still. She was a magic... what was she?

every time she looked away from me all I wanted was her to look at me again, she was so pretty, innocent and unknown to the games of this world.

The rituals were going on so very well, the name board still hidden behind the red colored curtain again a stupid ritual of the Maharashtrians. Arohi's mom finally kept the princess in the small baby cot which would move like a swing .

Arohi was asked to go ahead, which she did and bent down and said something in that baby's ears when all of a sudden all the ladies beside her started to hit her back badly.

"ohh shit!" I took a step ahead towards her only to be pulled back by someone.

"what ?" I asked completely irritated, but was replace by shock when Arohi stood up and started to laugh.

"hit me once more and I am not going to tell the name, and you all know you can't open that curtain till I want as well." She folded her hand and then bend down again, kissed the baby and pushed the cot slowly.

"Arohi tell us, stop with the drama." Anju aunty complained.

"the princess of her dad, the younger one in our family is named by her bua-" she walked to the other side such that she now faced me and said,

"- piyali Kadam"

A whole lot of cheers were heard all around, and finally the curtain was lifted from the board on which it was beautifully written Piyali.

"gosh these people are weird, who hits the person who names their child?" I asked as we all sat down on one of the table with our plates and drinks.

"oh hello Mr. romeo they weren't abusing her or anything , they were just patting her back for naming their baby, though it seemed something different but it was meant for that only." Rehea said and started to munch on her chips.

Wasn't this girl on diet?

"she was on dieting right?" dev asked, rather whispered in my ear.

"why don't you ask her rather than me, she will give you a proper answer." I raised my eyebrows at him as if challenging him, he just shook his head negatively and relaxed back in his seat.

Such a coward! I thought.

"Are Arjun puttar (child) where were you from such a long time, how we all missed you dear." An old aunty came along with my nani.

"namastee dadi, I am sorry but I didn't recognized you." How would I, these people change way too much then we all did.

"Are beta I am Mr. ghuman remember we were neighbors, before you all went to Canada." She replied while touching my hands and sometimes my face.

If I would have not known her better than for sure I would have thought... you know what.

But no she isn't that type, rather she is ohh no was quite sweet, I don't know how she is right now, but earlier she was a sweet heart. She would always give me Arohi and Anika chocolates as well as those lychees which used to be soo yummy.

"ohh yes you used to give us so many lychees and chocolates, dadi I have never eaten such chocolates and lychees which you used to give us." I said and touched her feet to greet her.

"acha if you missed dadi's chocolates then why didn't you came to meet me? And where is that Arohi? She said she will come and do my full checkup and look at her such an irresponsible girl, she forgot that this old lady here has a weak heart that needs to be tended time to time." She complained and looked here and there for Arohi, god could only save her now.

"are dadi let her be you tell me what would like to have?" Vihaan stood up from his place and made my nani and dadi to sit in his and Abha's place. The ladies gave their orders to the couple who happily went to get them the snacks which they had wanted.

Throughout the evening, we tried to keep Arohi out of dadi's reach not wanting to make a fuss over there and once the whole function was over the girls went to Arohi's room for god knows what, the elders were busy with the wedding preparations and we guys had nothing to do hence, we took out all the leftover food, took raj,shiv and aisha along with their tents houses and walked out in the garden and made a small born fire and began to munch on our food.

"ahhh life is such a bleech" raj said while resting his head on my stomach and his legs on his father's stomach and sleeping like a king his hands under his head.

"Yeah right, these big people they twalk soo much , my ears have started to pwain. Papa please move your hand, I want to sleep." With that Aisha as well laid her head on her dad's stomach and put on what seemed to me like her mother's shades and rested her legs on dev's shoulders who had slept off long back.

If this was a shock then what shiv did was a jolt for us.

"Yeah soo true, you know that rinni she was again and again nagging me that she wants to meet mom and dad, now how can I get my girlfriend at home? Right dad?" shiv asked and a completely shocked Darshan bhaiya could only nod at his statement.

The three newly found friends laid peacefully over there talking about so many problems that they had, and all we could do was gape at them.

I mean come on they were just 5 years old and how in this universe did Arohi's 5 year old nephew had a girlfriend.

"Girlfriend?" as if that word was a prohibited territory , darshan bhaiya stood up making dev rise from his deep slumber.

"Aye shiv boy come here!" though darshan bhaiya tried to keep his cool he was a bit ... scared?

We all thought that he might go all ballistic on shiv, we were prepared to give him a lecture saying that "bhaiya cool down ... he is child etc etc. but bhaiya's expression only made us to crack up like anything.

"Stop it you people and shiv come here. " shiv stood up from his place walked towards his dad not before muttering something which sounded like

"Gosh these old people!"

Old people ? us?

Boy you are in deep trouble.

"Okay now tell me what were you talking about? Who is this rinni? " darshan bhaiya took hold of shiv's hand and interrogated him. Seeing the amazing scene unfolding ahead of us, Vihaan and kabeer took out the chips packet and started to munch on it.

I looked at raj who was busy relaxing on me. When he felt my gaze at him he looked at me and asked

"What , chachu don't give me that look."

"What look?" I asked curious that what did this 5 year old kid actually understood about looks.

"The same look which dadu gives you when he is sure that you have done some nonsense ."

Unbelievable!

"dad she my friend from garden, and she wanted to come home, even raj and aisha knows her... and even preet had asked Aisha if she could come at his place to eat cake, you know his mom bakes best cake."

"wait now who is this preet, aaye singh come here, what is going on here? My son says that he has a girlfriend , my daughter was asked on a date and I am not at all aware about it?"

Darshan bhaiya had really started to panic now. But thank god Anshuman bahiya isn't here or else raj would be interrogated in the most worst manner.

"it's nothing darshan uncle, rinni is shiv's girlfriend and preet is Aisha's boyfriend. Even I have a girlfriend her name is mishka."

"what ?" by now we all were quite surprised. All that sleepy ness had gone far away. Darshan bhaiya took hold of shiv and aisha and asked me to take raj and we all waked back in the house.

He checked whether our parents were at home or not and once sure they were not there he walked or rather stormed into Arohi's room which was later we realized filled with sarees .

And the way they looked only made us think are we in the right house and are these same girls whom we had left a few minutes ago?
