CONGRATULATIONS

SanDhir reached Tanya and Aryan's apartment and pressed the door bell.. They were hell excited to tell them about their marriage.. They knew everyone would be super happy hearing that news.. SanDhir waited patiently for thirty seconds for the door got opened.. But to their bad luck no one got the door.. They again pressed the door bell and even this time also they didn't get any response...
They looked at each other and again did the same..
And yet again didn't get any response..
Next they pressed the bell a good number of time only to get NO RESPONSE...

Randhir - (annoyed) What the hell.. Hume invite karke dono khud hi gayab hain..
Sanyukta - (thoughtfully) kya pata get together ka venue change kiya ho sabne??
Randhir - Aisa hota toh inform toh kar hi deta koi nah koi..
Sanyukta - Sayad bhul gaye sab humare bare me..
Randhir - Kuch bhi nah,Princess..
Humme se koi bhi kabhi bhi tumhe bhul nehi sakta.. Aur get together ke bare me WhatsApp ke group me bola tha nah.. Toh agar plan me koi change huya hain toh group me hi inform karte nah.. I'm sure koi aur baat hain..
Sanyukta - Pata nehi kya hain aur kya nehi hain.. I'm calling Tanya dii.. Ab toh wahi bolengi ke baat kya hain... (she fished out her phone from her clutch)
Randhir - Hmm OK... you call Tanya dii.. And I'm calling Aryan bhai...

One minute later...

SanDhir - (spoke in unison) Call receive nehi kiya..
Randhir - Ho kya raha hain yaar.. Door nehi open kar rahe hain.. Call bhi receive nehi kiya.. (he said in a worry and concern filled voice)
Sanyukta - Kahi woh dono kissi problem me toh nehi hain nah?? (she asked worriedly)
Randhir - Aise nehi sochte, Princess.. They will be fine.. May be phone silent mode me ho aur dono ne check nah kiye aapna aapna phone.. Issiliye receive nehi kar paye honge call..
Sanyukta - Aur yeh jo door open nehi kar rahe dono.. Uska kya??
Randhir - Bell kharab bhi toh ho sakta hain nah...
Umm... Ek bar door pe knock karke dekhte hain...
Sanyukta - Hmm.. Try karke dekhte hain...

Randhir nodded and came forward.. First two to three times he lightly knock the door using his knuckles.. But getting no response he banged the door hard by his palm..
And the very moment the door opened slightly because of the force..

SanDhir - (in unison) Door toh khula huya hain... (they were taken aback seeing the unlocked door,they looked at each other for a second)
Randhir - Andar chale..?? (he asked)
Sanyukta - Hmm.. Chalte hain.. (she nodded)

Next collapsing his own fingers with her SanDhir went inside the apartment opening the door further..
Sanyukta - Eee.. Yahan itna andhera kyun hain.. Koi ghar pe hain bhi ya nehi.. Tanya dii... Aryan bhaiyu.. (seeing the whole apartment complete dark she called their name out loudly)
Randhir - (gripped her hand more tightly) Princess.. Bohot andhera hain yahan.. Don't move.. You might get hurt..Let me switch on flashlight of my mobile...

Randhir fished out the his cell phone from his jean's pocket and was about to switch on the flashlight when all the lights of the apartment turned on along with a loud sound and they also heard a yell "CONGRATULATIONS"...
SanDhir got scared by the loud sound and they took a few seconds to get everything..
The loud sound was caused by a balloon which got bursted brutally and it contented smallest pieces of colourful decorating papers and glitters which were still falling on them..
Glancing at their front, they noticed all the members of their group were standing in a line holding a banner in their hand...
Each banner had a letter written in bright red shimmering colour..

(Luv and Kush were standing in front of the elders)

Sanyukta - Oh my God.. Yeh sab.. (she cover her mouth which got opened widely by her palm)
Randhir - (he was also equally surprised) Haan.. Yeh sab decoration..
Vidhushi - (rising her eyebrows) Tum dono ko kya laga ke hume pata nehi chalega SanDhir ke shaadi ke bare me.. (hearing "SanDhir ki shaadi" both SanDhir blushed)
Sanaya - Haan soon to be married couple.. Hume pata chal gaya.. Aaj hi Gauri bhabi ne bataya mujhe.. Aur maine baki sab ko.. (she grinned)
Sanyukta - (pouted) Aur humara surprise bhi kharab kar diya.. Hum dono yeh baat sab ko khud batane wale the..
Sahil - (laughed) Haahahahahaha... Didu aur Bhaiyu ko dena tha surprise aur unn dono ko hi surprise mil gaya..
Randhir - (smacked Sahil's head) has mat..

Arpita giggled seeing this.. And Sahil got lost in her giggles.. He put his palm on his face and kept staring at her with a dreamy smile...
All shook their head knowing his love sick nature...

Rehan - (sighed) Pyaar ka keeda (insect) bohot zor se kata hain mere sale saheb ko.. (and all laughed)
Luv + Kush - (made a pout and started jumping) Sab khud me hi lage ho.. Hum se bhi toh baat karo koi...
Sanyukta - (sat in front of them on her kneens) Aww.. Mere babies se koi baat nehi kar raha..
Randhir - (he too joined Sanyukta) Chalo hum baatein karte hain aap dono se...

Next SanDhir took them in their amrs and stood up..

Parth - (patted Randhir's back) So.. finally..
Randhir - (breathed out) Yup.. Finally..
Tanya - (jumped on SanDhir and hugged them) OMG.. I can't believe this.. It's happening.. It's really happening.. You guys are getting married..
Yayyy.. Aahhhhhh.... (while talking to SanDhir suddenly she screamed and pulled away)
Aryan - (worriedly) Kya huya?? Chillayi kyu aise achanak ne?? (all got confused hearing her scream)
Tanya - (rubbing her both shoulder) They pinched me.. Hard..(pointed at Luv and Kush)

All looked at those two cutie pies and they pouted..
Yo Yo - Ohh puttarzz (boyzz) yeh Tanya jii kya bol rahi hain?? Ab kya kand kiya tum dono ne?? (but they kept mum)
Ishika - (glared) Luv.. Kush.. (she said strictly)
Luv - aise ghoru nehi hum dono broz ko.. Hum toh bas help hi kar rahe the..
Naina - (cupped her waist) Help?? Kaisi help??
Sanyukta - Haan babu.. Pinch karke kya help kiya aap dono ne..?? (she asked sofly)
Luv - (annoyed) Are khud hi bole jaa rahe ho sab.. Fir hum bacche kaise bole??
Arpita - (suppressed her smile seeing their cuteness) OK.. OK.. Ab koi kuch bhi nehi bolega.. Let them speak first...
Randhir - Now speak up guys..
Kush - Woh Tanya aunty ne bola nah ki unhe believe nehi ho raha ke aap dono shaadi kar rahe ho.. Issiliye humne unhe pinch kiya taki unhe believe ho jaye ke yeh sab sacch hain.. Woh koi sapna tanpa nehi dekh rahi..

And that's it all started laughing clutching there stomach..

Aryan - (spoke in between his laughter) Thanks baccho.. You guys did a great job..Main to kab se bole jaa raha hu ke yeh sab sach hain.. Par yeh (Tanya) hain ki sirf bole jaa rahi thi "I can't believe this" and all..
Luv - (upped his collar) mentain not...
Kush - (he too did the same) Yoo.. We know.. We are amazing...
Sanaya - Hayeee.. Mere puttarzz (boyzz) ko kissi ki nazar nah lag jaye..
Tanya - (stomped her foot) Hump!! You guys are so mean.. (and all laughed some more seeing her pissed of face)

Later all congratulated SanDhir individually and spent some quality time together..
They played games.. They danced.. They ate.. They laughed.. They teased each other.. They did all crazy stuffs which they used to do before.. In short they enjoyed a lot.. Just like the way they used to do when they were in school..
They grew up..They got jobs..They became more responsible.. They started taking life seriously..They got married..They had started their own families.. Technically nothing was same like before.. Still nothing seemed like changed between them also.. Their bond was still the same like before.. And it became stronger with passing time..
The hidden child self always came out whenever anyone of them got their gang's company..
And same thing happened that evening also.. They let their grounded, fun loving, carefree self out and enjoyed to their fullest forgetting about their stress, work pressure, responsibilities of daily life..
They were together..
And they were happy..

Thanks for reading...
