In Phuket, Thailand

A guy was checking out the beech with full of admiration in his eyes..He hasn't seen such beautiful beaches back in his place..

Guy: This is beautiful..I told you right, Thailand is the best place for a vacation..

Guy 2: Honestly, for the first time in my life, i feel like hugging you for bringing me here..

Manik ( scowled ): Oh hello, stay away from me..i am straight..Navya Bhabi ko chodne ke iradha hai kya tera..

People around them chuckled..And they were the Malhotras who came to Phuket straight from Bangkok since they have heard a lot about Phuket's beauty..Moreover, they have been to Bangkok once for a business meeting, so taking a tour of that place was easy.

Gagan: Chal tum dono baad mein ladna..ab hame resort keliye nikalna chahiye..

The Malhotras moved to a resort in Thailand ad occupied their rooms. They got freshen up and came downstairs to have food..

But after seeing the food, they looked horrified..

Manik ( shouted ): What the hell is this..?

The manager got shocked..

Manager ( politely ): Sir, this is our Thai special..Grasshopper fry..

They looked at him with widened eyes and jaws dropped..

" WHAT "

Manager ( flinched ): Thai special..if you don't want it, you can try our noodles..

Cabir ( scared ): ANd, what do you add in it..?

Manager ( smiled ): Oh..don't worry, its not of Grasshoppers, its of Silk worms..very tasty..

They stood with wide opened mouths..Esha and Maahi just ran to washroom and puked whatever they had in the morning, after effects of Pregnancy..

Esha was 4 months pregnant while Maahi was 2 months pregnant..Abhimanyu and Devarsh ran behind their wives and patted their back while vomiting..

Manik and Cabir just face palmed..

Manik ( frustrated ): Do you have anything to eat which doesn't contain grasshoppers or some worms..

Cabir: And please, let me make it clear..we don't want any kind of insects in it..

Manager ( nodded ): Oh yes, we have sticky rice and grilled chicken as the special and more items without any insects..though we prefer insects as they are tastier..

Sachan ( kept his hand on stomach ): Okay, that's enough..we aren't interested in your insects at all..

The Manager nodded and went to get food while the ladies came back with their husbands' support..

Manik ( concerned ): Bhabi, are you fine..?

They could only nod at them..

Cabir: If you are fine, then we will have some food, you both look drained out..

Esha/Maahi: NO....

They jumped in their places hearing their shout..

Esha ( bad face ): I am not going to eat anything from this resort..

Maahi ( held her stomach ): Neither I am gonna eat..

Sachan: Arey Esha..Maahi..yaha pe aur bhi food hai jisme wo saare cheez nahi hai..

Esha: Jeeju, aap kuch bhi kahiye par mein yaha ke khaana nahi khaaoongi..

Maahi: Haa Bhai, agar aap mujhse yaha ke beach mein poore din swim karne keliye boliye mein karrongi par ye nahi, kya patha jis spoon se wo grasshopper fry bana diya ussee spoon se humara khana bana diya..

Gaura: Chalo, agar bache yaha se khana nahi khaa sakthe tho hum bahar kahi se khayenge..Gaga, tumhe yaha ke koi restaurant patha hai..

Gagan ( sighed ): Mohatharma ji..hum Phuket mein pehli baar aa raha hoon..so ask your grand kids..

Gaura sighed and turned to Manik and Cabir..

Cabir ( grinned ): Mujhe nahi patha..Manik hi tho bathaya Thailand aane keliye..

Manik ( innocently ): Mujhe nahi patha tha yaha ke log insects ithna pasand karthe hai..koi nahi..hum bahar kahi chalthe hai..I promise, no insects..

They smiled at him and moved out of the resort not before glaring at the Manager. Poor he, if they can't eat insects then its not his problem, right..

The Malhotras started walking and reached the restaurants, but most of them has insects fry along with the other food which is why the ladies didn't budge to eat from there..

They started their journey in search of a better restaurant, they were in a private tourist bus, suddenly Devashree asked the driver to stop the bus..

Manik: Kya hua Badi Daadi..?

Devashree ( frowned ): Wo kya hai..

Cabir ( followed her gaze ): That's a gate Badi Daadi, shayadh kisi ka ghar hoga..

Gaura ( smiled ): Ye tho achi baath hui na..abi thak hum koi ghar nahi dekha siva kuch restaurants ke alawa..Lets get help from them..

The driver parked their bus and Mlahotras got out of it and walked towards the gate..

Devarsh ( to the watchman ): Excuse me..

The watchman came out..

Watchman: Chı̀..( Yes- in Thai Language )

Cabir: Hain..? Did we do something wrong to say ' Chi '

Manik ( smacked his head ): Its Thai language, idiot..( turned to the watchman ) Um, can you speak English..?

Watchman ( nodded ): Yes..I can..who are you..?

Sachan: Oh great..Actually we need some help..

Watchman ( frowned ): What help..?

Abhimanyu: We are looking for a restaurant..

Watchman: There are many restaurants nearby..

Aadesh: We know it, but none of the restaurants contain food without insects..

Watchman: You are tourists, right..?

" Yeah "

Cabir: Can you ask your master to help us..? We have got 2 pregnant ladies with us..

Watchman: Actually, this isn't any home..Its a colony..See the name plate..

They read the name plate on the wall which read " Aanchal's Paradise "

Nyonika ( surprised ): Aanchal..Isn't it an Indian name..?

Watchman ( nodded ): It is, this colony is owned by an Indian family..

Manik: Its a colony, so there must be someone to look after it if the owner isn't present here..

Watchman: Yes, we have, we even have restaurants inside and that too Indian..

Cabir ( happy ): What..? Really..? Can we enter then..?

Watchman: I am sorry sir..only the people inside the colony will have an entry..There are 12 villas inside and we give it for tourists so only they can use the restaurants..

Gagan: Please try to understand..My daughter-in-laws are pregnant and in this stage they shouldn't stay hungry..We are ready to talk with the main people..

Watchman saw Esha's and Maahi's conditions which looked worse as they were really tired..

Watchman: Okay, please wait here..Let me get permission from inside..

They nodded at him happily while he went inside..Manik turned back and walked further when he got a call in his mobile and he just bumped into something..

Manik ( shouted ): What the hell..?

He looked in front while rubbing his elbow to see a girl rubbing her shoulders with her head down..

Manik ( pissed ): Were you blind, Miss..?

The girl looked up after hearing Manik's shout and both got frozen..

" Tum "

The Chopra and Mukherjee siblings have reached the previous day itself through their private jet as it will take only 1 hour to reach by flight..They got scolding from Takshvi and Ishika for disappearing but then the youngsters managed to cam them down..

Next morning, Nandini has gone for a walk since she loved nature to no extent and wanted to enjoy it, something she is passionate about other than her profession is Photography..She loves to capture those which touches her heart, and what better beautiful than nature is..

She was returning back to the colony when she noticed a cut on her hand and that was when she collided into a wall and her shoulders got hit with it..She rubbed to decrease the pain when she heard someone's shout..

" What the hell " " Were you blind "..

She got irritated and looked up to see the person and got shocked..It was the same guy..

Nandini ( shocked ): Tum..??

Manik ( disbelievingly ): I can't believe you were stalking me from Bangkok to Phuket..

Nandini ( confused ): What..?

Manik ( smirked ): Aur nahi tho kya..pehle Mumbai mein phir Bangkok mein aur ab tum Phuket tha pohanch gayi..bathaya kyu nahi ki that you got obsessed with me..

Nandini ( annoyed ): Aur koi kaam hi nahi tumhare paas..hai na..tab bhi tho mujhe irritate kar raha hai..

Abha ( happily ): Chiko..

She looked behind Manik and spotted the whole Malhotra family..Abha and Sachan came forward and hugged her which she reciprocated with a wide yet surprised smile..

Nandini: Aap dono yaha kya kar rahe hai..

Abha: Hum bhi pooch sakthe ye sawal, Madam..

Nandini: Arey, I am on a vacation, fmaily vacation..

Abha ( excited ): Kya..? Mathlab Jhanvi bhi hai saath mein..?

Nandini ( chuckled ): Haa, ab mein family keh rahi hoon tho obviously aapki best friend bhi hogi na..she is my eldest Bhabi..

Abha: Wow..it looks like we are on some college trips..tum log konse resort mein rehthe ho..

Before Nandini could reply they heard the watchman's voice..

Watchman: Sir, you can come inside..

The Malhotras turned to them and smiled while Nandini looked confused. Firstly, she is seeing Malhotras in Phuket and secondly they are getting permission to enter her colony too..What's going on..!!

Abha: Chalo, hum andhar chalthe hai..tum apna number dedo..phir mil bhi sakthe hai..

Nandini ( sighed ): Ab uske zaroorath nahi hai..mein bhi andhar aa rahi hoon..

Manik ( muttered ): Yeah, she loves to stalk..

Nandini ( glared ): I heard that, Mr. Malhotra..

Manik ( glared ): Good for you, Miss Chopra..

The Malhotras looked shocked seeing Manik fighting with a girl..it never happened cause Manik always keep a distance from girls but here he is just glaring at Nandini..

Abha took Nandini's hand and all of them walked further while the watchman after seeing Nandini gave a salute to her which confused others..

Watchman: Good Afternoon Mam..

Nandini ( smiled ): Good afternoon...

Watchman: Mam, you know them..?

Nandini ( nodded ): Yup, family friends..

Watchman ( apologetic face ): Oh, I am really sorry then..If I knew you were family friends then I would have let you inside without taking permission..

Nandini: Its okay..Abha Di, chalo..

The Malhotras followed her and went inside only to get mesmerized with the view..

Nandini ( frowned ): You guys booked a villa, here..?

Sachan: Nahi, we just wanted to have food..we just got to know about this colony..

Cabir: By God, if we knew about it before, we would have booked a villa..this person has got every freaking thing in this colony..

Nandini smiled at it..

Manik: We should check with the reception, Cabir..what if we get a villa here..

Nandini: Anyway, restaurant is over there..The right one is for Thailand people while the left one is for others..Abha Di..aap jakar khana khaiye..Umm..I think Mrs. Esha Malhotra and Maahi Malhotra are pregnant, right..

Abha nodded while Esha and Maahi got surprised..

Maahi: How do you know..?

Nandini ( smiled ): Abha Di has told me, once..

They both smiled at her..

Nandini: I will take a leave then..

Sachan: Arey aise kaise..

Nandini ( smiled ): Bhai, I am going to be here for ten days..So you could meet me anytime you want..Now, please make them have something..i will be around..

He smiled at her and she went away while Malhotras moved further but Manik kept looking at her and took his eyes off once she fade away from his sight..

They had food and Maahi and Esha had a satisfied smile on their faces which made others too smile..

While returning, they spotted someone..

Nyonika: Isn't it Zaara Mukherjee..

The turned their attention towards the lady..

Gagan ( smiled widely ): Of course it is..I have met Zaara many times..Wo yaha kya kar rahi hai..

He rushed towards her while others were surprised with Gagan's excitement on seeing Zaara except Gaura as she knew well how much Gagan likes Zaara..

Gagan: Zaara beta..

Zaara turned towards Gagan and got surprised..

Zaara: Gagan uncle..

He side hugged her and she too smiled at him..

Zaara ( grinned ): Aap yaha..don't tell me aap bhi vacation keliye aaya hai..Oh my God..I can't believe it..Ahaan ne mujhe kuch bathaya hi nahi..

Gagan: Arey shant meri Ma..Ahaan ko kuch nahi patha..In fact tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..Arey mein bhool gayi, abhi tho mein Nandini se mila..

Zaara ( smiled ): Baby se kab mulakath hua aapka..wo tho walk keliye gayi thi..

Gagan: Arey bahar se mili..tum iss colony mein kya kar rahi ho..

Zaara noticed Malhotra fmaily and Gagan noticed it..

Gagan: Aise ghooro math..yahi mere family hai..Mmy Parents..aur ye meri beewi aur baaki ke bache..

He introduced everyone and Zaara smiled at them and replied warmly..

Gagan: Aur ye Mnaik..

At that moment, Zaara's expression changed and she stared at him with narrowed eyebrows. Manik and Gagan noticed it..

Zaara ( smirked ): Ye hai Manik..Ahaan ne bathaya aapke iss pothe ke baare mein..he was impressed with Manik's business skills..

Manik and Gagan looked at each other and understood that Zaara knew about the proposal.

Nyonika: Waise aap yaha rehthi hai kya..hum iss colony ke baare mein nahi janthe the..

Pallavi: I must say, its really welcoming..

Zaara ( smiled ): Haa..Daadi loves nature so Daada ji designed it according to her likes..

Cabir: Designed..Hum iss colony ke bare mein baath kar rahe the..

Zaara ( frowned ): Main bhi tho usse ke baare mein baath kar rahi thi..

Sachan: Aapke daada ji aur iss colony ke beech kya connection hai..

Abhimanyu: Kahi iss colony ke owner aur aapke beech kli rishtha hai..

Zaara understood they didn't know that they own it..

Zaara: Ji haan..isske owner se mere ek rishtha hai..Mein unki beti hoon..

" Kya "

Zaara ( giggled ): Haa..ye Chopras ke hai..My Daadu gifted it to Daadi..Aanchal is my Daadi's name..And Daadi gave it to my Dad..
