SWARA

"Sanskaar this is so weird!" I said as we entered our room. From the last 25 years I have seen Ragini and bhai only and only fighting and today! The world must have toppled, crashed seeing the friendship between them.

"I know right, it seemed they are besties from the past 25 years and not enemies. I never imagined I would live up to see this day!" Sanskaar stated as he took a place next to me on our bed.

Today's date should be written in gold letters with all the great quotes possible. After the reunion of USA and England, Britain and France, Raj and Simran etc (ones who forgot their enmity and became friends.) today we have the new born friendship between RAGINI MEHTA AND LAKSH KAPOOR.

F.L.A.S.H.B.A.C.K.

At the restaurant.

"Ragu, seriously you thought he was hot?" Laksh laughed while Ragini also couldn't stop chuckling.

"Yaar, shuu. You aren't suppose to make fun of my choices. He looked good at one point." Ragini pouted.

"You have worst choices, I must say," Laksh joked.

"Oye, Mr. you aren't suppose to make fun of my choices. You also liked, you know who," Ragu said winking at Laksh.

"Thats different. She looks great." Laksh defended.

Swara and Sanskaar looked shocked. They thought they were having lunch with two old bestfriends who knew everything about eachother.

They came with the motto that they would have to handle these two if they fought but here the case was completely different. They were laughing and sharing jokes?

"Ahem ahem," Sanskaar faked a cough to bring back the two bestfriends out of their friendship land.

"When did you both discuss about eachother's crushes? Didn't you become friends just yesterday?" Sanskaar asked perplexed.

"Ha so what bhai? We discussed this today only," saying this Ragini laughed remembering something.

"You remember how I once left a lizard in your cabin?" She asked Laksh doubling over her laughter.

"And then how I scared you using a cockroach for the whole next day, for revenge?" Laksh replied laughing.

"Sanskaar, weren't these the topics of the wars that took place just a week back?" Swara whispered to Sanskaar.

"Exactly my point. They are discussing such things as if they happened years back. And now they are over that stage." Sanskaar replied in a hush voice so that only Swara could hear him.

FLASHBACK OVER.

"Swara, I am so shocked right now. I spent the whole time in the restaurant wondering who were with us today?"

"If I knew they would turn bestfriends in a day, I would have told ma and Sumi ma to ask Laksh and Ragini 'happy wala' question long back. We would have retired from our referee at war job long back. Nahi?" I asked him confused he just hmm-ed in response.

Today had jumbled our brains. Ragini and Laksh had jumbled our brains.

RAGINI

"Maaaa, I am hungryy!!!," I shouted sitting on the dining table while bhai, Swara and papa gave me looks showing disappointment. Today ma had decided she would solely cook so Swara and I weren't helping instead we were very excited as today the menu was going to be the best.

It was a Sunday morning and everything was going great. Rani kaki and Shaam kaku our two house helps were helping Ma but it was a feast for them as well.

"Maaa..." I again started when my phone rang.

It was Tia's call. Picking up the call, "Hey Ti, Missing me?" I joked.

"Give me your address na?" She asked directly on point.

"Bungl- wait one second. Why?" I stopped myself from telling the address.

"Areey why, why? I am your best friend. That day hearing your story I realised how strong you are. I am so proud of you. So I am paying my visit to you and talk to you parents." She ordered said.

"Uh-uhmm.." I had no words to reply what should I do?

"Ragu answer fast, and if you don't answer I'll take your address from Swara Ma'am or Sanskaar Sir," she threatened.

Yehi toh baaki hai.

"Okay write down," and I dictated my address to her. "You live in a bungalow?" She asked confused. "No its a long story, you come then I ll think-" I stopped.

"What?"

"I meant will tell you," and I cut the call. Thats when Ma along with Shaam kaka and Rani kaki came.

They were old and their children were all settled in their lives, they had worked for us since years so they had decided to not shift with their son instead continue living and working here. They lived in a outhouse type of house next to our house. It was in our house's are only just two different houses.

And thus an idea popped up.

"Kaka, Kaki will you be my parents?" I asked, and as soon as I said that I heard everyone's spoon falling and even kaka and kaki were in shock.

Way to goo. Was it so necessary to tell such a fake story?

➖➖➖➖

Ma and papa were so angry once I told them about my fake classy story but I promised that I would hear their scoldings later once Tia's problem gets solved.

Ma had said, " Ragu ki bachi tu bas ghaar aa!"

(RAGU YOU JUST COME HOME I'll teach you a good lesson)

Shaking my head to keep that problem aside now I was here with kaka and kaki in the outhouse waiting for Tia to come. I decided to go and outside the gate so that she doesn't read the nameplate.

In the office no one knew where The Kapoors and The Mehtas lived so an advantage.

Standing outside I saw Tia getting out from the auto.

"Hi," I waved to get her attention.

"Heyy Ragu," she came and hugged me.

"Chal lets so go inside," I pulled her before she can see the name plate.

I saw her gawking and looking at my house- with aww. She was confused when I pulled her to the side into the outhouse and not to the bungalow.

"You don't live there?" She asked purely and utterly confused.

"No," and my acting started.

Great Job!

"My parents work there," I said in a low tone. Kaka and kaki were inside waiting for my call. Bhai was also here with Swara to see what type of khichdi I will make today.

"Oh," she nodded understanding.

So now in her eyes, my parents were house helps who worked in a big mansion.

"The house is empty? Your parents? Your brother and sister-in-law aren't here?" She asked sitting on the wooden deewan. The outhouse had only one bedroom for kaka and kaki and a living room with kitchen.

"Amma and baba are here, but bhai and S-Smita bhabhi aren't." I said lowly again as I also sat.

"Where is your brother, the alcoholic one and your bhabhi- the mental one?" As soon as she said this I heard a loud DHUP from the room. For sure bhai and Swara did this to make me remember that they were here too.

"They left us," I said fake crying.

"Oh shit I am sorry," she said and folded her hands praying.

I was so confused until I heard her say, " May their souls rest in peace," and my eyes widened. I again heard a DHUP sound that meant they heard it too.

"Nooooooooo!!!!" I shouted and my eyes widened. She got scared that she jumped to the standing position along with me.

"Tia they are alive and well, they just moved out." I said bringing my tone to normal as I gestured her to sit again.

Haye babaji, bachalo please🙏🏻

"Oh god, I am sorry I thought you meant," she apologised.

I smiled," No problem, wait let me call amma and baba," I said as I called kaka and kaki out.

"Amma, baba? See my friend is here. She came to meet you both." I called out as Tia waited.

Stage 2 of the drama begins.

Kaka and kaki both came out and said namaste to Tia, Kaka sat on the chair infront of the diwaan while kaki went to bring water.

I hope everything goes well.

"Namaste uncle," Tia said to remove the awkward silence that spread around.

"Na-namaste," kaka replied nervously.

They were more nervous than me.(facepalm)

"And beta, you work with Ragu?" Kaka recited the dialogues I made him learn.

"Yes uncle." She smiled waiting for kaki to come so that she can start her 'Ragu no shaadi abhyaan'.

Kaki came with the tray with the glass of water, I swear everyone could see the glassess shaking, she was soo scared.

Kaki also sat next to Kaku, eyeing him confused. She played with the hem of her saree nervously while kaku was drumming his fingers on his lap, they did this when they were utterly nervous.

"I respect you both, but aunty, uncle its not good. Ragu deserves a better life, I understand your situation but just making Ragu marry against her wishes isn't a good option. Trust me," she started explaining them while kaka and kaku gave the most confused looks.

They had no damn idea what was going on.

I had told them just to say yes or no or just normal things, nothing more. They didn't even know the whole story.

"Yes," kaki said seeing that she was required to say something.

I am gone.

"Yes? That means you aren't going to ask Ragu to marry to that old person?" Tia said happily as she thought she did her job that too so quickly.

"No," kaka said thinking it was his turn to say something.

I am officially dead.

"What?" Tia asked dejected.

And here I was trying to tell Kaka and kaki something through my eye gestures when we heard a knock.

Who the heck came now? Was this problem not enough?

"I'll open the door," I said and went towards the door.

➖➖➖➖➖

I am going to cry now!! You know who I found at the door? The Laksh Kapoor.

Ma papa bachaoo!!

"Why are you here?" I whisper making sure no one in the house hears me.

"What why? I am your best friend re, I came to meet you but Shekhar papa said you are here. So why are you here?" He asked smiling.

He has so bloody idea what drama is going on here.

"Who is it Ragu?" Kaku asked from inside.

Laksh smiled hearing his voice and pushed me slightly to go inside to meet kaka and kaki.

Welcome onboard Laksh!! You get the opportunity to showcase your acting talents today!

Yes Thank me,

Okay later.

I ran inside behind him to stop the mess which obviously couldn't be controlled. Tia had already seen Laksh and she was so confused that her jaw had already dropped to the floor. To stop the going drama I decided to speak but was cut by Tia herself.

"Oh shit I know understood!!" She screamed.

While Laksh gave me the most confused look and kaka and kaki decided to run inside.

I had to eat the whole khichdi now, I guess.

"What is going on here?" Laksh asked me.

"Sir why are you here?" I asked Laksh clearly showing my annoyance. Did he have to come today only and that too here in the outhouse.

"Ragu now I get it, I understand everything!" Tia exclaimed while I gulped and shared knowing looks with Laksh. I thought my lie was caught about being a Mehta. She came to know about my relation with the Mehtas and the Kapoors.

"Actually I can explain-" I offered when she said.

"Na na I know. You parents work in Laksh sir's house na? As house helpers? Thats why you fight with him alot because you know eachother since childhood and you would have hated his family for making your parents work? Something like that na?" She assumed and said her thoughts out loud.

Who is arranging my funeral? Please do it fast!

Now I heard The DHUP sound but also a "Whaaaaaat!!" scream from the person next to me.

"Her parents work for mine?" Laksh yelled said.

"You and you both sit down!" It was me who shouted. Both of them like good children sat in their respective seats.

I had no idea for any other story so I continued her assumption.

"Yes Tia you guessed it right. Thats the case. I never wanted any one to find this, in this way but its okay as it is you." I smiled ignoring the draggers that Laksh was hitting me with his eyes.

Calm down dude, let the girl do her job.

"Sir- I think it would be good if I share this with you ,Ragu's life would be saved," Tia started.

Behn meri baksh do humhein!

"W-hat?" Laksh asked dumbly.

"Sir, her parents wants her to marry an old, ugly, hateful, zumli man. Its wrong na? She is so young and beautiful, she is educated. She has the right to marry independently right? Her life would get spoiled if she marries that old ugly fellow!" Tia said determinedly.

"You missed atyaachaari," Laksh muttered though I heard him.

He kind of understood the situation now.

"What sir?" Tia asked as she didn't hear him.

"Nothing, I mean yes Ragini you should not marry that ugly, zulmi, hateful man." Laksh faked a smile I knew he was so angry right now.

"Sir you missed old." Tia corrected.

Thank you so much pagli, abh rulayegi kya?

"Yes also old. You don't worry I will talk to her parents she would only marry a handsome, young, intelligent man." He promised.

Obviously duh.

This guy was praising himself!! In such a crucial situation.

Hayee bhagwaan kya karu??
