We're Different, We're the Same

"Jald se jald use sab bata de Teju." Tejasswi nodded and smiled. Then she stood up excitedly, "Dada, aapka roka hai kal. Mai toh mili bhi nahi hu Rhea se aaj tak. Vo kaisi hai?"

"Jaisi dadi chahti hai." Ahaan said with a grin. "Offo dada, aap pyaar karte ho usse?"

"Pyaar ke liye meri zindagi me koi jagah nahi hai, family is a priority." Tejasswi rolled her eyes. "Dada, yeh sab baatein kehne ko acchi lagti hai. Socho, agar aap ek isolated sii jagah parr fass gaye, toh aapko bachane kon aayegi?" Ahaan looked at her amused, "Kaisi baatein karti hai Teju!"

"Aap yeh batao, aap feel kiske liye karte ho? Kahi vahi toh nahi jo mai soch rahi hoon?" Tejasswi said with a smirk. Ahaan rolled his eyes, "Ishqi ka naam mat liyo!" Tejasswi chuckled and sat beside him, "I see Ahaan the mahaan, Ishqi na naam lena bhi nahi pada."

"Ishqi meri ek acchi dost hai."

"Aur vo sirf dost hi reh jayegi agar aapne kuch nahi kiya. Roka hai, shaadi nahi!" Ahaan gave her an irritated look. "Chalo chalo, roka hai kal aapka!" Tejasswi giggled. "Apna aur Kriti ka khyaal rakhna, Karan se baat kar."

"Vo meri taraf dekhta bhi nahi hai Ahaan, vo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karr payega." Ahaan smiled as she hugged him like a kid. "Achha, Ishu ko bata de, vo shaayd kuch madad karr degi." Tejasswi gave a teasing smirk again, "Ahaa Ishu... Ishq!" Ahaan pulled her cheeks and left. "Text krna ghar pahoch ke!" Ahaan shouted a yes and sat in his car.

Next morning, everyone in the Malhotra house was busy in doing the preparations. Siddharth was helping the men arrange decorations when he got a call.

AVNEET

It displayed. He cut the call like he was doing it since 2 days. She was trying to call him since 2 days and he didn't want to speak to her. The day she left him, she would just be trying to apologize and say that her dad wanted her to marry Ritvik.

Tejasswi and Kriti arrived the place. Tejasswi saw Ahaan sitting alone in his thoughts. "Oh hello! Kal text nahi kiya aapne?"

"Vo... actually..." Tejasswi sat beside him and Karan came there. "Ishqi ne kaha ki vo mujhse pyaar karti hai." Tejasswi was shocked while they turned to hear, "What?" from 3 other boys. "Arey wah, Ishqi se Ishq!" Kartik said sitting beside him. "Kuch nahi ho rhea hai aapke mann me, aapke mann me Ishqi hai." Sid said with a smirk.

"Vo apni shoot ke liye aaj hi Delhi jaa rahi hai." Ahaan said and every face fell down. "Parr agar vo tujhse pyaar karti hai toh tu kya chahta hai?"

"Dadi ne sabko bol diya hai, yeh roka nahi rok sakte. Aur Rhea ka kya?" Ahaan said irritatedly. "Pyaar hi sab kuch hota hai Ahaan the mahaan!" Tejasswi and Karan said together. "Jinx!" Kriti said clapping cutely. "Dada, aap bass itna batao ki aap Ishqi se pyaar karte ho ya nahi?"

"I don't know!" They all looked at each other disappointed. Kriti smacked her forehead. "Bua, inko aapki vo isolated wali theory batao na! Dekho mamu, agar aap isolated jagah parr fass gaye, toh aapko bachane kon aayengi? Aapki dadi?" All chuckled at Kriti's cute accent. "Dekho bhai, ab toh bacchi bhi bezzatti kar rahi aapki!" Kartik said taunting him.

"Karan! Gaadi nikaal!" Suneeta came shouting. "Kya hua maa?" Suneeta huffed. "Ishqi! Ishqi ka accident!" They all got up and ran towards the car. "Maa Kritu ka khyaal rakhna!" Suneeta nodded and all ran towards the hospital Suneeta informed them of.

They reached there and went inside. Ahaan was running at the most speed. "Excuse me? Ishqi?" He asked at the reception and all followed him. "ICU, 2nd floor." The receptionist informed and Ahaan ran towards the lift. The lift didn't arrive for 2 minutes and he ran towards the stairs. Tejasswi and Kartik were still standing behind as they winked at each other.
