Anushka's POV _

"Mahi I have a date with Piyali, so I'll be back later!" I said to to mahi who was in the arms of Gulati. It was sunday so as usual the children of Gulati residence are here at Malhotra residence.Mahi and Gulati were acting all lovey dovey while Chitra di was surfing the channels on the tv.

"You are always with piyali. Are you guys planning to marry eachother and adopt mango trees?" Mahi asked. I faked an offended look.

"We will not adopt Mango tree, I already thought about banana trees, they are my favourite you know!" I said wiggling my eyebrows. Mahi rolled her eyes and Gulati Sibling bursted out laughing.

"Whatever be back soon, you have to pack for manali before we leave in the morning." Mahi said. Even though the trip was my idea, I am not really up for it now, because you know, aakru will be there. And it will be a road trip so bearing Aakru for 15 hours ( idk) is nearly impossible for me.

" Hmm okay bye" I waved at them and left the house.
-Abhay's POV _

" Are you done packing?" I asked Jay without looking at him. I was zipping the chain of my bag. When I got no reply, I turned around and saw Jay engrossed in his phone.

This guy. I thought while shaking my head. I snatched his phone away.

"Bhai give it back to me!" He immediatly whined.

"No, first tell, are you done packing? " I asked while keeping the hand, in which I got his phone, behind my back. He looked down and muttered.

"No"

"Then finish it quickly" I ordered.

"But bhai!"

"No buts, first finish packing or else you won't get your phone back!" I said.

"Fine!" He said amd went to his room. Yep this things still work for him. Because he knows I can actually take away his phone.

Wait! Idea!

I immediatly called Chitra. She picked it up.

"Hey Abhay!" She chirped.

"Hi!" I was smilling like an idiot. Her voice is so beautiful...

'"Umm Abhay? " oh shit!

"Oh hey Chitra!"

"So....why did you called?"

"Well I was thinking. Maybe all of you could come here tonight itself and we'll leave from my house in the morning."

" superb idea, we'll be there in the evening! "

"Okay, then bye"

"Bye" Jay came back from his room.

"Done packing?"

"Yup" he said popping the 'p'. I gave him his phone back.

"By the way I've got a news"

"What is it?"

"Chitra, Mahi, Karan and Anushka are coming here in the evening, and we will leave for manali in the morning from here"

"Hmmmm wait! Chipkali is coming? " he yelled. I nodded.

"Nooooooo bhai" he shouted.

What is up with him?
Chitra's POV _

"Hey guys we'll be going to Abhay's house at the evening, stay there the night and leave for manali in the morning, okay?" I asked, karan and mahi.

"Sounds good to me" mahi says.

"Should I be worried as a big brother, that your boss is asking you to stay there the night?" Karan asks. Mahi starts chuckling at the 'bada bhai' avatar of karan.

"No, because he also asking you, your girlfriend and your girlfriend's sister to stay the night" I answered.

"Okay then!"

"What? Anu doesn't know, should I call her and tell her about this?" Mahi asks.

"No you can tell her she comes back" I said and she nodded.

Anushka's POV _

" I am home!" I yelled as soon as I entered the house. I dropped my scooty's key on the table next to the door. I looked around and saw there's no one in the house. Weird. Because, dad would now would be playing Vikram uncle (chitra and gulati's dad) which he is doing. And ma would be chatting with Chinmayi aunty over tea and a few plates of pakodas (snacks). But where are Chitra di and Gulati.

"Oye Mahi! Are you home?" I shouted at the top of my lungs. She popped her head out of my room from the upstairs. What is she doing in my room?

"Yep!" She answered and went back to my room. I made my way to my room.

"What are you doing in my room?" I asked her while letting myself fall on my cloud like bed.

"I was packing your bag!" I smiled widely.

"Thank you so much Mahi, you are the best!" I said.

"You are welcome baby!" She came hugged me tightly.

"Okay okay Mahi, dont be so emotional! " I said and pulled her out.

"Okay by the way, we are going to Abhay's house in the evening, stay the night there and leave for manali in the morning. "

"No! I don't go to Abhay's house, I protested immediatly.

"Why?" She pouted.

"Because Aakru would be there!" I said.

" Why do you hate eachother? " she asks.

"Because he is arrogant, stupid, ill-mannered, uncultured, troublemaker, rud-"

"Enough enough! " I could go on and on about why I hate him.
-Skip time-

We could hear the car's honking. We dragged our bags outside and Gulati helped us loading the bags in the jeep.

"Bye mumma, bye papa" I hugged both my parents.

"Enjoy loads of fun in Manali and try not to get sick." Dad saif

"Definitely!" I said and he kissed my forehead.

"Behave" mom said and kissed on top of my head.

" no promises!" I said and she chuckled. She then turned to Mahi.

"Take care of this afat ( troublemaker)" mom said to mahi, referring to me. I pout.

"I no afat" I said like a kid.

"Yeah righ!" All of them scoffed including mumma papa. I went and sat in the jeep.

"Take care beta, call us when you reach and can you guys handle the villa yourself. Or should I ask someone to stay there with you guys?" Dad asked. Yup, we own a villa in Manali.

"No worries, we will be fine daddy!" Mahi said. Mumma and papa kissed her head at the same time.

" bye uncle aunty!" Chitra and Karan waved at them.

"Bye beta take care" the waved them back.

"And Chitra, eat properly there, you are already as thin as a matchstick, if you don't eat anything you will vanish into air. Karan and Anu you both are the only one who knows to cook so don't show any kind of laziness or if you cant do it, hire a cook or else me and Chinmayi will be there in no time!" Mom said all this on one breathe. Said scratch that threatened us.

"Fine mumma bye" we all bid goodbye and karan started the engine.

*****

I was knocking on the door and Chitra di was ringing the bell continously.

"Stop it guy!" Mahi groaned but we chose to ignore.

"Guys we are at a stranger's house!" Gulati reasoned.

"Oye he is your soon to be saalu (brother-in-law)" I said.

"Well then!" Gulati said and joined us.

"Karan you too?" Mahi heaved a sigh. The door opened and Chitra di's boss stood infront of us.

"Hey!" We all greeted him in sync. That's called bonding. He broke out in a grin.

"Hey, come in guys!" He said and stepped away from the door. We all dragged ourselves and our bags inside. I looked around. The house was quite awesome.

"Sweet house, bro!" Gulati commented.

"Thanks yaar!"

"Come I'll show you guys your rooms for tonight" Chitra di's boss said and showed the rooms.

I was looking around the the house when one room caught my eyes. I was really messy, even messier than my room, which is really rare!

I went inside and saw some photohraphs of Aakru, his brother and their parents. So this was Aakru's room. I started to look around his room. One thing on his bed caught my eye. It was a magazine. A playboy magazine. He reads it! Hahahahaha. I picked it up. Chalo hum bhi toh dekhe (come, let me also see) I thought as I opened the first page.
Jay's POV _

I opened the door and got inside. I saw Bhai, chitra, mahi and karan sitting in the living room and chatting.
Chipkali nahi aayi kya? (The lizard didn't came?) I asked myself. Why do I care? I should be happy!

"Hey guys!" I greeted them.

"Hi!" They chorused back. I suddenly had the urge to ask if she's coming or not? But decided against it. Arree yaar I should be happy that she didnt came!

"I'll go and freshen up and then come!" I said and went to my room. There I saw Chipkali reading magazine on my bed. Shit! It was the playboy magazine! I rushed to the bed and tried snatch it but she moved away.

"Don't watch it!" I said.

"What? This?" She asked showing me the picture inside the magazine.
" Besharam aurat (shameless woman) give it back to me!" I ordered. She looked offended.

"Ahahaha main Besharam (I am shameless ? When you are the one who reads it!" She argued back. I just glared at her.

"Give it back!"

"No!" She said and ran around the house. I chased her.

"What are you guys doing?" Mahi asked.

"Running around! " Chipkali answered her sister as a matter of fact.

"Why are you guys running around? " Chitra asked.

"Because she isn't giving my thing back to me!" I said while throwing daggers at her.

"Just give the damn thing back Anu!" Chitra said.

"You guys want to see it!" chipkali said.

"No! " I immediatly dragged her in a corner.

"I'll do anything just don't tell them and plus it isn't even mine, it's rishabh's. He just gave it to me to check it out. I swear I didn't even opened a single page!" I explained.

"Why are you explaing it to me?" She asked. Yeah, why am I explaining it to her? I shrugged.

"Okay I'll let out off the hook if you do ad I say" she said. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Think about it!" She said while swaying the magazine infront of me.

"What do I have to do?" I asked reluctantly.

"Umm I don't know now but i'll let you know soon!" She said. She gave me the magazine back and we went to living room where everyone was looking at us with questioning look.

" I gave him his thing back to him" she said.

God what I have I gotten myself into?
