Aarav's House

Aarav's POV 

I was sitting on the bed and was thoughtful. Ahana entered inside the room and said "Aarav sambhalo ise..." 

I eyed her and then went to the window "bhabhi aap hi sambhalo" I replied. 

She kept her hand on my shoulder, I turned and looked at her.  

"ye kya baat hui Aarav? kyun nahi karti hai tumhe shaadi?" she asked. 

"bhabhi I am not responsible dekho na Vihaan meri wajah se gir gaya.. kal agar Khushi ka khayal bhi nahi rakh paya main toh?" I shared my concern with her. 

Ahana hit my head lightly "ye achanak kya baat kar rahe ho tum? kisne kaha tum responsible nahi ho?" she asked. 

"bhabhi.. " I paused when she held my hand and made me sit on the bed. 

She said "tum responisble ho Aarav.. ye tum ache se jante ho.. galti sabse hoti hai mujhse bhi hui na?" 

I nodded my head in yes. "pichle 6 mahine mein tumne mera khayal rakha apne bhai ki sab zimedari uthayi then kaise tum responsible nahi ho haan?" 

I smiled at her "bhabhi.. wo baat alag hai" 

she replied "koi alag baat nahi hai aur rahi baat Khushi ki toh wo khud ek responsible ladki hai.. and main janti hun tum uska ache se khayal rakhoge apne puta hone ki respinsibilty ache se uthaoge" 

"aap kehti ho toh maan leta hun main" I replied. 

She kissed my foreahead " that is like my good boy.." 

"toh shaadi karni hai ki nahi?" she asked. 

"ofcourse karni hai bhabhi.." I replied. 

"toh Vihaan ko sambhalo.. future mein kaam aayega" she winked at him to which I smiled sheeplishly. 

I eyed at Vihaan.. "sorry chachu ki wajah se aapko lag gayi" 

Ahana smiled.. "Chachu it's okay" 

Virat entered inside the room with "tum dono mujhe final batado.. kaun shaadi ke liye ready hai kaun nahi.. baar baar apna decision badalke confuse mat karo" 

I laughed "bhai.. shaadi toh hoke hi rahegi.." I replied. 

Virat smiled at him.. "paagal" he hit his head lightly.

Aarav made a face...

The next day,  Everyone was ready. I glanced at the time it was 10 am. I asked "bhai aaj aap office nahi gaye?" 

"abhi baat hui padso engagement fixed hui hai toh chalo fatafat shopping karne" Virat informed. 

I smiled broadly hearing it. "toh der kis baat ki? chalo jaldi" I spoke walking towards the exit. 

Ahana stopped me with "are.. Aarav ruko" 

I eyed her and asked "kya hai bhabhi?" 

"towel mein shopping karne jaoge?" Ahana asked pointing towards him,

He glanced down and realised he had come out of the room without wearing his trousers. Virat bursts out laughing at him.

I glared at him "haslo bhai.. haslo ek baar shaadi hone do phir batata hun main aapko" I quickly went to the room and wore my trousers. 

Soon, we headed towards the showroom. Ahana asked me to try sherwanis' of her choice while Virat had also selected of his choice. 

Ahana scolded him "Virat.. Ye bilkul acha nahi hai Aarav tum ye try karoge" she then said me.

Virat denied "no.. ye better hai Aarav try this"

They started to argue in the shop, I covered my face with my palm. 

"bhabhi bhai.. listen.." I spoke but none were ready to listen to me. 

I shouted "band karo ladna aap dono.. main sab try kar lunga" 

Ahana and Virat smiled, I took their selected Sherwanis and went to the trial room. I tried one, and was lost in my own dreamland. I was thinking about the wedding "haaye.. Jaldi se shaadi ho jaye phir kisika darr nahi bhad mein jaaye samaj"

Ahana knocked "are o romeo.. Apni laila ke sapno se bahar aao " she shouted.

I bit my tongue out and then opened the room door. I eyed her and asked "kaisa lag raha hun main?"

"Bahut handsome.. Apni bhai se bhi zyada" she said winking at me.

I smiled at her... 

"see Virat.. ye engagement outfit ke liye final hai" Ahana declared. 

"Are par ye blue waale mein bhi toh handsome lag raha tha wo" Virat argued. 

"god...  bhaiya aap na meri shaadi ka outfit final kar dena.. please lado nahi warna main kuch bhi nahi lunga" I declared.. 

Ahana nodded and we finished our shopping. 

Ahana was thoughtful "god.. ab kaise yakeen dilau main unko.. kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha hai"

Manvi's POV

I arrived home in an hour, Ruhana Avni and Khushi were ready to leave somewhere.

I asked "kaha jaa rahe ho aap teeno?"

"Hum teen nahi sab paanch.. Tumhare jiju bhi office se mall pahuch rahe hai bahut shopping karni hai chalo.." Ruhana said with much excitement.

We headed towards the shoplix mall, within 45 minutes we reached the mall. Ruhana took me to the bridal shop and asked me to select a few dresses.

"Di.. aap hi lelo na" I said.

"Offo.. natak mat karo." Ruhana said angrily. The sales girl showed us the dresses.

Khushi scolded her "aunty.. Meri mumma ki shaadi hai ye fade color dresses mat dikhao achi si dikhao.."

I smiled hearing her. After 3 hours of trial, finally dresses were bought. We then moved to a jewellery shop.

I said.. "Di... no.."

I paused when she shot me a deadly glare. Avni whispered in my ear "maasi.. Agar aap ghar jaane tak kuch bhi boli na.. Toh mumma se bura koi nahi hoga"

I nodded in yes. Vineet arrived and then we went to have dinner in the restaurant. By 9 pm we reached home with lots of shopping bags.

Khushi said "god.. Kitni tired ho gayi khushi..."

Avni and Khushi went upstairs, Ruhana said "chalo.. Tum bhi jaake aaram karo"

I nodded and headed to my room.

The next morning, my phone ranged. I opened my eyes and picked up the phone "hello.." 

"sorry mam.. but wo Mr. Mehra ki file pe signature chahiye aapke bahut important deal hai aap office aa sakti hai please" Neha informed. 

"yea aati hun main" I replied her. 

I disconnected the call and went to the washroom. After an hour,I came out of the washroom and looked at my phone. 

I picked it up and dialed Aarav's number but he was not picking up my call. "arghh.. jab mujhe baat karni hoti hai toh ye mera phone nhi uthata.." 

 I came downstairs Khushi, Avni were arguing over something. 

I asked "kyun ladai kar rahe ho tum dono?" 

Avni looked at me and replied "maasi aapki beti mujhse lad rahi hai.. jab maine kaha ki hum blue wala dress pehenge toh pehenge" 

"no mumma.. hum constrast waala dress pehenge" Khushi replied. 

"Are... kya tum dono bacho ki tarah lad rahe ho jiska jo mann kare pehen lena and it is just engagement tomorrow" I answered them. 

"what do you mean by just engagement mumma?" Khushi asked glaring at me. 

"Exactly maasi.. aap na ek dum bore insaan ho gayi ho apni shaadi ki koi excitment hi nahi hai aapko" Avni complained. 

"kaise hogi exctiment madam office jo jaa rahi hai" Ruhana spoke while coming out of her room. 

I was surprised knowing it, I eyed her "Aapko kaise pata?" I asked. 

"iss tarah ready hoke tum ghar mein toh ghumogi nahi.. this is obvious mannu how stupid question" Ruhana said hitting my head from behind. 

"di.. urgent hai isliye jaa rahi hun" I replied. 

"koi urgent nahi hai tum chutti pe ho.. ek mahine ki aur itna hi urgent hai manager ko bolo ghar aake sign wagera karwale" Vineet said while entering into the house. 

"jiju.. par.." 

"don't argue with me.. permanent chutti karwani hai kya apni?" he asked 

I shook my head in no... 

Khushi snatched my phone my hand "sabse badi problem ye phone hai mumma ka aajse ye khushi ke paas rahega" 

I was shocked hearing her "Khushi.. no mera phone wapas do" I scolded her. 

"nahi milega.. Khushi nahi sunegi aapki" she spoke and run upstairs along with Avni. I sighed... 

I was worried, I looked at Ruhana "Di samjhao na Khushi ko.." 

"kya samjhana hai? Aarav ka phone aayega kya?" she asked. 

I smiled.. "bhool jao Aarav se baat bhi nahi hogi tumhari" Vineet replied. 

Khushi's POV

I was so elated, tomorrow is engagement. I just can't believe it, finally my family is going to be complete. 

The phone ranged, I eyed at the caller ID and smiled. I picked up the call "hello dost.." 

"Khushi.. kaisi ho?" he asked.

"bahut achi.." I replied 

"Acha.. please apni mumma ko phone do badi muskil se phone haath mein laga hai unse baat karni hai mujhe" Aarav spoke. 

I giggled.. and teased him "kya dost.. kuch der baatein mujhse bhi karlo"

"beta.. tum yahan aaogi na toh main din raat tumse baatein karunga please phone do na.." he requested her. 

I laughed "Deti deti hun.. kitne desperate ho aap" 

I rushed towards her room and handed her the phone "lo aapke hone waale pati ka phone hai.." 

She gave me a look, she answered the call but none replied. It seemed the call was disconnected.. 

She was saddaned, I pulled her cheeks "Awww meri pyaari mumma.. kal mil lena dost se.. okay.." 

"khushi.." she frowned.. 

I left the room taking her phone as I don't want her to attend any office phone calls.
