The next day Hari prakash came to take my bag to the car, I went to have my breakfast..
After that I left the house telling him to take care of it..
He nodded looking down..
I started my car and headed towards Shimla..
* AR:
Akira: How much work these guys give me man.. I'm dying here..
Worker: Haha ma'am don't you think you should plead for some holidays to ASR, I think he wouldn't reject you..
Akira thinking: Yeah you're right...
Akira left her chair and went towards Aman's cabin..
Akira: I need some holidays..
Aman looked at her confused: What? Now what are you up to?
Akira rolled her eyes: Holidays Aman I need it... Tired of working here..
********
I was driving my car normally but wait.. What the.. Brakes are failing.. Man.. I try to stop my car but wasn't able to.. Dammit.. Sweating now thinking of the consequences, once again I try to apply the brakes.. Today you will meet an accident Arnav.. I try many times but the car isn't stopping and on top of that a car is coming in my way, I quickly escaped from it ...
As I left the car go on his own, I closed my eyes tightly and the next moment... * Thud*
I opened my eyes in the hospital, Aman by my side with his usual worried face when something bad comes to me.. NK enters the room and come near me..
" Are you okay?" he asked me worried..
" Yeah.." I answer him slowly..
" How did you get an accident?" Aman asks me, and he thinks I will explain him...
" Brakes failed.." I curtly replied him holding my head that is hurting a lot..
" You know there are lots of reporters outside this hospital.. They want to know about you..Its breaking news now.. ASR met with an accident.." NK say rolling his eyes..
Aman looks at me..
" No.. Are they coming?" I ask him in disbelief, I'm talking about my family.. Whenever something like this happens with me they come running here.. As usual they are coming now too..
Aman nods and I look away.. I hate being even with my family now.. I love my loneliness, only if Khushi was here still today with me I would be shouting to be with my entire family..
" When will I get discharged? " I ask with an uninteresting look..
" Today only, its minor injury" NK said and I sigh in relief, at least..
**********
As I got discharged, I went to sleep in NK's house, Akira is already here talking rubbish for me.. God.. I hate these things..
" Why don't you check the car before going?" she scolds me worried..
" Next time.. Now let me sleep.." I said turning my back to her, I know she sighing in frustration now..
She went away, but seems today everyone is to disturb me..
My brother is calling me, I pick it up..
" Yeah Rohan.. I'm fine.." I say rolling my eyes..
" Hahaha I know, I'm not like mom, dad and Di.. You know here in the house me, Shyam jiju and Ayan are the most cool.." he said laughing, well that's true..
" Ayan how is he?" I ask smiling, Ayan that boy is my life.. He can manage to bring a smile on your face without you wanting to smile..
" Ohh your boy is alright .. Anyway I called to inform you that we will be in Delhi in two days okay.. A surprise awaits you.." he said very excited in his voice..
" Surprise?" I ask him confused..
" Bhabhi... I'm in love bro.." he said happily..
" Congrats.. Waiting to see my bhabhi then.." I said..
" Ohh she is very beautiful.. My God.. I'm madly in love with her.." he said making me remember the one I was madly in love, I used to talk like this..
" Good for you.. " I curtly replied..
" You will like her.. Just don't steal her from me" he said laughing..
" If she is so good, I might.. Be alert.." I said teasing him..
He laughs then hung up the call, I leaned on my bed trying to sleep..
Flashback..
" Arnav what is this? Don't you know how to take care of yourself? " Khushi scold me as I'm sick..
" Khushi..Ah-choo!.. You know... Ah-choo!.." I can't even explain her, damn my sickness..
" You know its cold nowadays still you don't wear sweater.. Do you think yourself as superman? " she said beating me..
" Khushi.." I try once again to talk..
" Shut up.. And sleep, no work for you.." she said angrily... She looks like hitler now.. Heyy and I'm really getting scared of her..
" Okay" I said covering myself with blanket..
She hugs me crying " If something happens with you I will die.."
I was stunned with her words.. I caressed her saying: Don't worry.. I will be fine..
And she calmed down..
Flashback ends..
If you were here today then you would take care of me all day..
Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami..
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi..
( Your absence tries me... You are necessary to complete everything that lacks in my life) ..
****************
2 days later..
8pm..
" NK fast na.. We are just going to a party.." Arnav shouted at NK who wasn't getting out of his room..
" We aren't going to party.. We are going to see Uncle, Aunty, Di, Jiju, Rohan and Ayan after such a long time.. Heyy and there is bhabhi also today... I have to look my best.. " NK said looking at his reflection once again at the mirror..
" NK lets go we are getting late now" Lav also comes there to take NK out of the room..
NK finally came out and they left to the party their family arranged to introduce their bhabhi..
In the car:
Akira smiling: I'm so happy for your brother Arnav..
Arnav didn't say anything he continued driving the car..
As they reached the place, they were aweed by the decoration..
" Is my family becoming mad? Just to introduce a girl they decorated this place like a marriage reception.. God.." Arnav rolled his eyes..
" Arnav" his mother came running to hug him..
( Arnav parents)
Arnav smiled and and hugged her back " My drama queen how are you? "
Arnav's mother slapped him playfully: I'm fine... Are you okay?
Arnav nodded and continued: What's the need to do this ma? Just for a girl?
Arnav's mother laughed: Ask your father, it was his and Rohan idea..
Looking at everyone smiling Arnav's mother continued: Please be comfortable.. NK, Aman you are family now..
NK and Aman nodded smiling..
Arnav's mother looked at Akira and Lav confused then at Arnav who understood she didn't recognized them..
Arnav: This is Akira, my girlfriend and Lav she is NK's girlfriend..
Arnav's mother smiled: Akira is your girlfriend? Arnav.. Huh.. You never told me..
Arnav: I'm telling you now.. Don't be angry.. Where is Di, Ayan?
Arnav's mother composed herself: They are there.. Go and meet them..
Arnav nodded and all went to the table Arnav's family was sitted..
Anjali screamed happy: Choteeeeeee...
She went to hug her brother, Arnav smiled a little and reciprocated the hug, after that Shyam also hugged h im and his friends..
Ayan smiled: Arnav uncleeeeee... Missed me?
(Ayan)
Arnav knelt down to reach Ayan level: Missed you the most..
Ayan touching Arnav's forehead: Does it hurt?
Arnav rubbed his chin thinking: Hmmm I think no.. Ayan touched his uncle right? All the pain disappeared..
Ayan smiled: Yyyaaaaayyyy!!!!
Arnav caressed his hair then sat beside him, Aman, NK, Akira and Lav also settled themselves..
Arnav frowned: Where is the so called bhabhi?
Anjali: Dad made a big entry for her!! Relax..
Arnav looked away giving whatever look..
Rohan came there: Heyyyy guys..
Arnav looked at his brother: Hii bro..
Rohan also sat there: Ready to see my angel?
Arnav rolled his eyes now tired of hearing compliments for this woman: More than ready.. Just show her once and for all.. She isn't an actress that you are giving her so much importance..
Rohan laughed: Calm down bro... She is no less than the beautiful actresses..
All lights went off..
Arnav's father came in the center of the stage: Ladies and gentlemen I'm here to introduce my beautiful would be daughter in law.. Wooowooo cheer for her!!!
All clapped, Arnav also clapped in disbelief.. He was busy giving seriously- looks to his father..
Arnav's father: Rohan this is for you!!!
Rohan smiled giving flying kiss to his father..
All lights came on now..
Mr.Raizada started to sing: " Roop hai Tera sona.. sona.. Soni teri payal.. ( Your gilded beauty shine through, so do your golden anklets)
Arnav looked at stage and saw a woman dancing to the tunes of the music, she was facing her back to him...
His father was continuously dancing looking at the woman: Chhan chhana chhan aise chhanke, kar de sabko ghaayal ( They tinkle in melody, to wound the hearts of millions)
Some ladies joined Mr.Raizada to dance..
He continued: Keh raha aankhon ka kaajal, ishq mein jeena marna ( Your beautiful black eyes speak a mysterious language, the immortal language of love)
The crowd: Say shava shava maahiya, ay shava shava maahiya..
Now the woman faces everyone with a smile on her face.. They ladies came near to dance..
She continued: Roop hai mera sona, soni meri paayal, roop hai mera sona sona, soni meri paayal (My gilded beauty shines through, and so do my golden anklets)
Chhan chhana chhan aise chhanke, kar de sabko ghaayal ( They tinkle in melody, to wound the hearts of millions)
Rohan came and joined the dance: Keh raha aankhon ka kaajal, isqh mein jeena marna...
The three danced: Say shava shava maahiya, say shava shava maahiya..
Color practically drained out of Arnav's face, his eyes widened in shock seeing Khushi.. His Khushi dancing there.. The smile faded from his face slowly.. His gazed was fixed at Khushi..
Ayan looked at his uncle: Is my aunty so beautiful that you're shocked Arnav uncle?
Arnav didn't respond to Ayan, he was way more than shocked seeing the scene in front of him..
Arnav didn't even realized when he reached the dance floor fighting back with his tears..
Arnav sings looking deeply at Khushi: Dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve, hone laga dil beqaraar ve
(Ever since I laid my eyes on you, my heart beats faster every minute)
Rabba mainu kee ho gaya, dil jaaniye, haai mainu kee ho gaya
(What have you done to me, my dear)..
He looked at Khushi sadly..
Khushi went towards Rohan and started dancing:
Sunke teri baatein sone yaar ve
(Your sweet words make me weak in my knees)
Maahi mainu tere naal pyaar ve
(I think I'm falling in love with you)
Haai main mar jaawa, dil jaaniye, haai main mar jaawa
(I will die without you)
Rohan, Khushi, Mr.Raizada started dancing with the crowd: Say shava shava maahiya, say shava shava maahiya
Rohan went towards his mother singing: In kadmon mein saansein waar de
(May my last breath be at your feet)
Rab se zyaada tujhe pyaar de
(May my love for you surpass that of the Lord)
Rab mainu maaf kare, rabba khairiya, haai mainu maaf kare
(May the lord forgive me)
Khushi came towards Arnav's father singing but her eyes were on Arnav as she singing for him:
Tum to meri jind meri jaan ve
(You are my heart, you are my soul)
Meri tu zameen hai aasmaan ve
(You are my heaven, you are my earth)
Tujh bin main kee kara, rabba khairiya, haai ve main kee kara
(What will I ever do without you)
Arnav's father wiped her tears and nodded in a no, she smiled a little and joined everyone: Say shava shava maahiya, say shava shava maahiya
Arnav's father and Rohan: Ae, roop hai tera sona sona, soni teri paayal
Chhan chhana chhan aise chhanke, kar de sabko ghaayal
Keh raha aankhon ka kaajal, ishq mein jeena marna
Khushi, Rohan, Arnav's father and mother: Say shava shava maahiya, say shava shava maahiya ve
Arnav was just looking at them lost in Khushi's memories.. Everything is coming in his mind making it difficult for him to stare at the happy family in front of him..
He looked at Khushi, she didn't change anything... Her smile, eyes, her beauty, innocence.. Everything is same.. She is glowing in happiness now.. Only one thing that is shocking him right now.. She isn't blind anymore.. Yes, she is seeing now.. What happened? Maybe she did operation.. He wanted to do that for her, but unfortunately destiny had others plans, anyways he is very happy for her in this matter.. What he couldn't do, his brother did..
After dancing, they went to sit..
Ragini (Arnav's mother): Arnav come to sit with us.. Why are you alone?
Arnav looked at his mother: Huh..
Ragini: Come to sit with us..
Arnav nodded and went looking down..
All were eating happily and chatting.. Those happy talks were making Arnav more sad.. Why it had to be Khushi? Khushi loves his brother? Why?
Ragini came there serving the food to Arnav: I even cooked your favorite food today..
Arnav faked a smile..
Rohan serving more food to Khushi: How's my choice bro?
Arnav looked at Khushi: Very good choice..
Rohan smiled while Khushi looked at Arnav with an uncomfortable look..
Ayan clapped: Arnav uncle agreed.. So I also agree..
Everyone laughed..
Akira looked shocked at Khushi, she wasn't believing Khushi was here that too as Arnav's brother girlfriend.. The same state was of Aman and NK..
Lav was normally eating her food, since she doesn't know Khushi..
