Arohi's pov
"soo what do you have in your mind for now?" reah asked me her eyes shining with mischief . we all girls were sitting in my room , just chilling around it was 9 at night we had just finished with the preparations for the ganesh poojan.
"ummm well, a lot and for starter the Ganpati pooja in complete maharashtrian style." I said , only to get four confused faces looking at me .
I took a deep breath and started explaining them.
"look we maharashtrians have certain rituals to be done while the and before ganesh poojan . the ganpati as we have brought right now , its pooja will be done by any male member of the family . but before that the whole house has to be purified early in the morning my sprinkling either ganga jal or gomutra aslo known as the piss of the cow..."
"ewww are you gone mad, arohi." Misha said giving a disgusted look to me . I hit her head with pillow and wanted to continue but then thought why not explain the whole ritual to the boys as well who were actually going to do the rituals.
"I have an idea lets go to Abha's place we'll talk their call the guys as well." The all agreed and then Abha and nitya called the boys while we reached to abha's place.
"why the certain meeting?" they all asked in unison . I gestured them to sit around the small born fire which I and some of the helpers and made .
"ohh wow I just missed these chairs , Abha you still have them ?" Arjun said
"yea arjun unlike some people I don't like to throw away people or things belonging to them out of my life all of a sudden ." Abha replied, rather she taunted him.
The hurt of him suddenly leaving us all alone was so deep that none of the punishments or no matter how many times he would say sorry would heel it up .
"I am sorry guys , I understand it was a very important day for us and I just went away without telling you guys anything ... I know I have hurt you all a lot but ..." arjun tried to apologies but nitya never let him complete his sentence
"you don't know what you left behind Arjun , Arohi wanted to .."
"umm guys let it be , we are here for some other things." I stepped in I didn't wanted to remember that night when I waited for him at the venue of our last get together, where he never showed up.
"no wait a second arohi , what are you trying to say nitya; what did arohi wanted?" Arjun asked .
Thanks to god that Nitya looked at me before saying anything, I warned her not to let out anything. And as I said they were the best friends in the world she just said to let it go and then I told them about the rituals.
"are you serious we have to wake up at 4 and wash all the utensils to be used for the pooja in gagajal(holly water) and then sprinkle a cows piss all around your house and also on the people?" raghav asked , to which I noded and added
"well mind you with the help of flowers. "
I waited to get some reaction other than disgust from them but it was the only thing that I got. "come on guys its not like you will be doing it for the first time , kabeer remember when we were in 10 and you had gone happily to my dad asking him that can you please sprinkle the holly water everywhere, well my friend it was go mutra."
"what the hell ewwww" with that he went near the water house and started to wash his hands vigorously . Making us all laugh.
"okay we get it Arohi , but the gomutra is it really necessary ?" arjun asked.
"yeah arjun its written in shastras , and cow is considered as the god , and please you should thank me that I asked that to give you guys gangajal instead of gomutra too before the pooja begins." I said , and as soon as they heard it they all pretended as if they wanted to hurl.
"god drama queens stop it , and girls you really don't need to worry its not at all for us girls and boys chill I have handled it ."
Dev came to me and kneeled down and touched his head to my legs making me to pull them up
"what the hell dev ? what are you doing ?" I asked shocked
"thank you so much Arohi and I promise I would never make a girl give me a B.J anymore." He said joining his hands
"you have got a B.J before?" kabeer asked.
"yeah man twice, it felt awesooo ahhhh"
He couldn't complete as we all girls started to hit with our heels whereas the boys were laughing their guts out.
"vihaan have you ever done such a thing before?" Abha asked him with a dangerous look on her face . vihaan immediately got up from his seat and went towards her and said "I promise you it never happened and will not , only if you want ." to which Abha's eyes grew as big as saucers.
"eww guys get a room you tooo, gosh let me remind you we were talking about preparation for the ganesh poojan.... Please boys keep your minds sewage minds at a side and let me continue." I interjected.
"okay so the other thing is that till the time the ganpati poojan is not done and till the time the Prasad and nevedya i.e the food is not presented to god the person who will be doing the pooja is not allowed to eat anything, and since this pooja is done by you arjun you will not be having anything till afternoon. " I said with a wide smirk on my face knowing what was going to come.
"what but how is that possible , Arohi I can't stay for long without eating anything ." he said with a pleading face.
"well that's your second punishment ." as soon as I said this everyone started hooting and my my the look on Arjun's face was price less.
After telling some more details about the pooja we went to my place to sleep to that it won't be much problem as ganpati would be celebrated at our place , since we bring ganpati every year.
"god why the hell are we supposed to wear this saree I just don't understand." Nitya was literally screaming when I came out of the bathroom after taking a very fresh bath .
"ohh come on nitya it's not like you are wearing it for the first time , grow up and stop whining." Abha said and came to me with a safety pin, so that I could pin up her pallu .
"when are you going to get ready girl?" rehea asked me .
"ya I'll just go and look whats upp with the twins and get my saree from bhabhi , its still with her . I just go and get it." I said and went out of my room which was currently filled with my 4 best friends who were making it a leaving mess, and for sure I am not letting them go like that .
"you not ready yet ?"
I looked behind to see Arjun standing there looking deliciously handsome in his cream and red colored dhoti kurta , and its dupaata which he was trying hard to adjust but failing miserably.
(Arjun's outfit)
"may I help you?" I asked coming out of my thoughts.
"could you please."
I took the dupatta from his hand and put it around his neck then making sure that one side is bigger than the other, then taking the longer side and putting it on his right shoulder making a deep V on his chest with the duppata.
"you still have a problem with the duppata's ?" I asked him while adjusting his duppata.
"And you still help me out with it ." he replied and as much as I tried not to look into his eyes , but eventually landed up over there getting lost in them .
When I heard a loud noise from the twins room we came out of our revive.
"you didn't answer me ?"
"What?"
"That, why you didn't got ready yet ?"
"ohh that , actually I was helping the girls get ready and now I have to check the twins bhabhi would be quite busy in the kitchen ." I said
"Mind if I check them , I have a bit of practice with my nephew." He said. An unknown emotion in his eyes.
"Sure, then I'll go and get ready." I said giving him a small smile. "Okay, see you soon "he said and walked away to the twin's room.
I took a deep breath to calm down the fast beating of my heart. I shook my head warning it not to think about those things and walked into my room which was looking a bit decent then before.
"You came early than expected." Abha said
"Yea somehow Arjun volunteered to help me with the kids."
"ohh hooo help and all nice ." nitya said
"nitya no "I mouthed her and took out my todays outfit which I had not seen till now.
I quickly wrapped the blue and pink colored simple yet elegant saree and did a quick makeup and put on a small pendant and some bangles to complete my look.
(Arohi's outfit)
I went down to see everyone busy with their own work , as I was supposed to help Arjun with the pooja and then the girls for the surprise stored for the boys for the evening, I was free for now. So I went and sat with the kids who were fighting for god knows what .
"okay handsome boys and my princess , what are you up to ?" I said sitting with them on the couch which was now shifted to the end of the living room.
"arohi aunty why do we celebrate ganpati?" raj Arjun's nephew asked me.
"baby Ganpati was the son of lord shiv and goddess parvati , once when goddess parvathi had gone around the kailash and when she had returned she was tired and was filled with dirt , so she thought of taking a bath since at that time they didn't had soap they used use basan which is the powder made of chana daal , when she rubbed the powder on her hands and legs a whole lot of dirt was collected ."
"since she did wanted to be disturbed and she knew that none of the gaurds would be able to say no to lord shiva she made a statue of a boy with the mud which was collected from her body. She then with her powers made that statue alive and instructed him to not let anyone enter the house."
"atu what happen thewn."
"then as obedient child as lord ganesha was he went and stood at the door, after sometime lord shiv came and he stopped him from entering . lord shiv tried to make him understand that let him go , but being the stubborn and obedient child lord ganesha didn't allow lord shiv to go inside . and then due anger lord shiv cut off ganesha's head and lord ganesha died."
"hoo lord shiv is very bad , he killed his own son."
When arohi looked around he found that all her friends were sitting beside them and doing their respective work while listning the story.
"then all the gods came and tried to make lord shiva understand what he did and tried to calm him, but soon everyone saw a very furious goddess parvati . she warned lord shiva that if he doesn't make her son alive again then the consequences would not be good. Hearing this lord shiva ordered his men's to go and search a head of anyone whose head is in the east and back at the west. When they went around the forest after searching for a long time they found a baby elephant in the same way and hence got his head for lord ganesha . But then since his head was that of an elephant all the god and goddess were scared that anyone could make fun of him. And hence all the god's and goddesses blessed him and he was considered the supreme god. He was given a blessing that before any good thing he shall be the one to be prayed And hence every year we celebrate his birthday on ganesh chaturthi, sometimes it comes in August or sometimes in September. To offer him prayers, get blessings and start all the festivals at a good note. Got it?"
"yes" they all cheered making all of us laugh.
"okay if you all are done with the stories Arjun lets do the pooja or else we would be late and I am sure you might me hungry by now." My dad said
"uncle you don't have any idea how much hungry I am right now, but truth to be told I am sure it's worth it ." he said the last part looking at me .
His looks send a weird type of feeling in me. I smiled at him and we moved towards the room which is specially made for praying rather we could say our small house temple which we call as 'dev ghar' (gods home), to collect the ganpati's murti which we had brought last night . then arjun gave a tour of our house to the ganpati as the ritual demand and then kept it the mandap specially decorated for the ganpati , and with that we started with the pooja , which took almost one and a half hour and then an hour's aarti followed by bhajan . by then most of our common friends had come to accompany us. The pooja was ended when everyone was given modak as Prasad and then the special Prasad was offered to the ganpati after which everyone was allowed to have their lunch and I am sure arjun was the happiest person at that moment.
