Family Is Family 2

Chapter 19

'if you feel uncomfortable and want us to leave, just tell me' Kajol said kindly when she, Shahrukh, Rani, Saif and Preity were at a restaurant, they decided to go out for a change; all were trying not to mention anything that might upset Shahrukh and to cheer him up a little.

'no, I am fine' Shahrukh said smiling

'Shahrukh, can I talk to you for a second?' Saif asked calmly

Shahrukh nodded 'yeah, sure' he said and both stood up and walked away, Preity looked at Rani and narrowed her eyes

'what is wrong? It is Saif that wanted to speak to Shahrukh, not the opposite' Rani said and shrugged

'if I found out that you or Shahrukh spoke with him; I will be very angry, he is already behaving in a good way with me for a while' Preity said in a blaming tone

'none of us spoke to him, I promised you' Rani said reassuring 'wait a minute, really?'

'yes, everything is going just fine' Preity said smiling

'is everything okay?' Shahrukh asked impatiently

'yeah, chill man. I have good news for you' Saif said casually

Shahrukh sighed 'surprise me'

'I stopped everything. No divorce'

Shahrukh furrowed his eyebrows 'what do you mean?'

'I mean I will not leave Preity' he replied and shrugged

Shahrukh rolled his eyes 'look, I am not in a good mood for...'

Saif interrupted 'I am not joking. I will not leave Preity, you were right. It is an unmanly behavior to leave her now. I will remain married to her until she gives birth and maybe after that if things went smooth between us'

Shahrukh looked suspiciously at Saif then sighed 'well I am glad you said this, but I need to see actions also'

'don't worry' Saif said nicely

Shahrukh gave a short smile and shrugged 'okay, that's great'

'okay' Saif shrugged and they went back to the table

'please tell me that you weren't speaking about work, guys you are turning into boring adults' Kajol said uneasily when Shahrukh and Saif came back

'shut up kid' Saif said teasing

'I am finally graduating soon, uncle' Kajol said and showed her tongue to Saif

Preity looked at Rani and gestured to Rani's bag with her head 'come on' she said wickedly

'Fine' Rani said narrowing her eyes in anger, opening her bag and getting the money out of it 'how can you win every time? I can't believe it' she said sadly to Preity handing her the money

'matters of the heart' Preity said winking

'what is this?' Saif asked Preity

'it is a bet and I won like always' she replied

'about what?' he asked again and she pointed at Shahrukh and Kajol 'their marriage thing'

Shahrukh shook his head 'when will you stop making bets about us?' he asked in boredom

'hmm, let me think. Never?' Rani said sarcastically

'so, who said what?' Shahrukh asked feeling curious
