Haatho Ki Lakeeron Mein

Part 2

  Next day,

"Ji panditji, ha ji aap aaye hain Delhi? Bhaut achhi baat hai fir aap ghar aa jaiye kuch baat karni hai bhaisahab ko, ji, ji bahut achha, namashkar" Anurag talk to priest and said that he will be coming in 2 hours.

Armaan left for office as he was having a site visit and moreover he trust his family in every matter.

Rahul and Nikki was making excuses and want to be at home to listen whatever panditji going to say about Armaan's marriage.

"Rahul, Nikki" Billy called them and next moment they stood infront of him.

"Ji Dad"
"Ji Tauji"

"Tum dono ghar pe kya kar rahe ho abhi tak?" Billy asked.

"Wo Dad, wo,,,,,"

"Wo tauji ham v panditji ki baatein sun na chahte hai Armaan bhai ki shadi k bare me" Nikki said somehow.

"Kyu?" Billy aksed and they become silent.

"Tum dono ki abhi koi jarurat nhi hai, abhi bas baatein karni hai aur Armaan ki kundali photo deni hai, jab ladki ki photo aayegi to tumhe bataya jayega" Billy said and after that they had no guts to say anything.

Nikki left for college making faces and Rahul also left for court.

Panditji reached Mallik Mansion, Anurag receive him and welcome him inside. They sit in lounge and Ananya Prerna bring snacks and drinks for him and stood behind after getting blessing from him.

He was their family priest and was very old but still strong enough, he smile looking towards them and asked for Armaan's kundali.

As soon as Ananya forward Armaan's kundali towards Panditji, he gets a call. He hold the card and receive that call.

"Ji, Radhe Krishna, hanji boliye, ji ji bahut badhiya, achha, bahut achhi baat hai, waha pe Kanha hoga use boliye ye sari cheeje mere phone pe bhej de, jaldi apko nhi ab mujhe hai, aap chinta na kare, mai wapas aake milta hu apse, ji ji, Radhe Krishna" Panditji talk and others listen to them.

Panditji cut the call and smile, he closed his eyes meanwhile he receive few photos on his phone. Pandjitji open his eyes and look towards them then towards Armaan's kundali and his phone.

"Kya hua Panditji, sab theek hai na?" Billy asked.

"Balwinder apne bahut shubh waqt chuna hai Armaan ki shadi k liye isliye bahut achha rishta mil gaya, shayad Armaan ka naseeb yahi hai." He said with a smile.

"Kya matlab panditji, mai samjha nhi" he said.

"Abhi jo phone aaya tha, wo Mussoorie se Dr. Shashank ka tha, wo waha pe Sanjeevani hospital k chairman hain, unhone k apni beti k liye rishta dekhne ko bola aur theek usi waqt jis waqt maine Armaan ki kundali apne hath me pakdi. Aur apko pata hai in dono bachho k pure 34 gun mil rahe hain, ye to samajhiye Ram Sita ki Jodi hogi. Mai aap dono k parivar ko janta hu achhe se, isliye bata raha hu Armaan aur Riddhima dono khara sona hai, mai to kahunga bina deri kiye aap dekh aaiye Riddhima bitiya ko. Waise use mana karne layak kuch hai nhi, wo bahut sulajhi hui bachhi hai, simple aur masoom, parivar ko jod k rakhne wali sari baatein hain usme jaisa aap chahte hain, ye to meri taraf se mera sujhaw hai aur baki jaisa aap log ko sahi lage" Panditji said and look towards them.

Billy and Anurag look towards each other, then towards Ananya and Prerna, they wanted Armaan to get married and they can trust panditji blindly but don't know how to handle that happiness suddenly.

"Panditji, bachhi ki koi photo" Anurag asked.

"Ha ye dekhiye" Panditji show Riddhima's pic to them.

They smile looking towards her sweet and shy smile, her eyes shows purity of her heart and her photo make them feel familiar attachment with her.

"Hame to bahut pasand hai" Ananya Prerna said looking towards them while Billy and Anurag said looking towards them and they laughed.

"Panditji, bahut sundar bachhi hai, ham jarur aage baat karna chahenge, aap Shashank ji se baat kar k hame bata dijiyega" Billy said.

"bahut badhiya" Panditji said and start reading few other things from Armaan and Riddhima's kundali.

They talk for sometime and then Panditji left assuring them that he will inform them in evening.

Ananya and Prerna was very happy as Riddhima's innocent face was captured in their heart. Anurag and Billy watch their talk and planning amusingly. And somewhere they were also sure that this girl was made for Armaan but before coming to any point they will have to meet her and her family first coz marriage was not just relation of two people but also of two family.

Panditji called Shashank and told him everything, Shashank was happy by the news but he asked for sometime as he wanted to discuss this with Padma Daljeet and Shweta.

He called them and gather in their garden while Riddhima and Muskaan were busy in their room.

"Kya hua yaar, tune aise kyu bulaya jaldi me?" Daljeet asked.

"Yaar baat hi kuch aisi hai, tune Delhi k Mallik family ka naam suna hi hoga na?" he asked.

"Ha wo to bahut achhe aur reputated log hain" he said.

"Aaj jab maine Panditji ko call kiya tha Riddhima ki shadi k liye us waqt wo Balwinder Mallik k ghar pe the, unhone Armaan Mallik k shadi ki baat k liye bulaya tha unhe, usi waqt maine call kiya Riddhima k liye aur Panditji ne un dono ki kundali milai aur 34 gun mil gaye, Panditji k hisaab se ye bahut achha rishta hai Riddhima k liye. Unka kahna hai ki bhaut achha parivar hai aur Riddhima bhut khush rahegi waha, lekin ye sab, Delhi, kahi jyada jaldi to nhi ho raha hai" Shashank was worried being a father.

"Aisa kuch nhi hai Shanky tu jyada soch raha hai, Panditji hame achhe se jante hain, agar unhone bola hai to kuch soch k hi bola hoga. Aur tu ye kyu nhi dekh raha hai ki tujhe jaisa parivar chahiye tha Riddhima k liye waisa mil raha hai use. Unka parivar to hamesha sath rahta hai aur ek dusre se bahut pyaar karte hain aur jaha tak Armaan ki baat hai wo v bahut suljha hua ladka hai, abhi to use No.1 Businessman ka award mila tha aur uska interview v, bahut achhi batein karta hai, itni si umar me bahut kuch hasil kiya hai usne apni mehnat se, mere khyal se tujhe ha kar dena chahiye" Daljeet said.

Padma also get convinced after whatever Daljeet said.

"Theek hai, fir mai bol deta hu ki ham raji hain, jab wo chahe aake dekh sakte hain Riddhima ko, baki baatein uske baad hi decide karenge" Shashank said.

Shashank called Panditji and gave his consent while Panditji informed Billy and ask him to decide when they can visit Mussoorie to see Riddhima.

Mallik family was having breakfast in garden it was proper family day coz of Sunday. Nikki and Vansh was bickering with each other when Armaan ask them to eat properly. Prerna and Ananya were serving them special surprise dish, yes it was their rule to prepare a surprise dish in breakfast on weekends and everyone love their surprise.

"Tauji, aaj ham kaha jaayenge?" Vansh asked Billy.

"Ummm,,,, aaj ham kahi nhi jayenge" he replied.

"What?? Kyu tauji, its rule na?" Nikki was first to react.

"Ha but is baar ham nhi ja rahe hain, we will plan something else" Anurag replied.

"Kya chachu? Aaj to waterpark jane ka plan tha" Rahul was also making faces while Armaan smile looking towards their eagerness.

"Ha wo to hai but aaj mujhe aur Anurag ko ek jaruri kaam se jana hai" Billy said.

"But Tauji Sunday is family time na" Vansh said innocently.

"Ha Vansh, don't worry I will take you guys to water park" Armaan said and Vansh hugged him in excitement "Waise Dad apko kaha jana hai?"he asked.

"Office" Billy said casually.

"Office kyu?" Armaan wonder what happen to him coz Billy rarely goes to office mainly when he decide any outing then he take proper leave for Armaan and Anurag.

Inspite of being owner of company he follows rule and handover their work to some trusted employees for a time being.

"Kyu mai office nhi ja sakta?" Billy retort.

"Nhi , I mean why not, I was just......." Armaan was saying but he stop him in middle.

"Koi baat nhi, so Mallik's here is an important announcement. Ham kal Mussoorie k liye nikal rahe hain" Billy said.

"Mussoorie wowwwww" Nikki and Vansh said together.

"Ya, that's wowwww, but suddenly Mussoorie?" Armaan asked.

"Ha kyunki kuch jaruri kaam hai" Anurag said.

"Arey to hame kyu le ja rahe hain agar waha pe kaam karna hai to" Rahul said making faces.

"Kyunki ham waha Armaan k liye ladki dekhne ja rahe hain" Anurag said.

"yayyeeee Armaan bhaiya ki shadi" Vansh danced happily.

"Whatttttt ,,,,, Dad? Suddenly maine bola tha ki mujhe pahle dikhana ladki ki photo" Nikki said.

"Arey itni jaldi kaha se apko ladki mil gai wo v Mussoorie me" Rahul said "Armaan itni sundar jagah ki ladki hai, tu to gaya kaam se" Rahu said and Armaan glared him.

"Stop it Rahul" Armaan said.

"Arey kya stop it, Mom apne v photo nhi dikhai" Rahul said.

"Arey meri baat to suno" Prerna tried to say something.

Everyone was talking among themselves at same time.

"Stop ittttttt" Billy said in loud voice making everyone shut their mouth "Pagal ho gaye ho tum log, aise koi baat karta hai" he was angry.

"Sorry Tauji" Nikki and Vansh said.

"Sorry Dad" Armaan and Rahul said.

"good, now listen, kal panditji aaye the aur jab wo Armaan ki kundali dekhne ja rahe the usi waqt Riddhima ka rishta aaya aur unhone Armaan Riddhima ki kundali milayi fir bataya ki ye best match hai. Fir kya, kuch baatein hui and now we are going to see her and her family, aur kuch puchna hai?" Billy said.

Nikki raised her hand while keeping finger on her lips.

"Bolo Nikki?" Billy said.

"Tauji, apko pahle photo to le leni chahiye thi na, kam se kam ek baar dekh to lete, aise kaise bina dekhe ja sakte hain ham" she said.

"Ha baat to tumhari sahi hai but hamne ladki ki photo dekhi hai" Anurag said.

"Arey, kab kaha hai, hame v bataiye" Rahul and Nikki said together while Armaan who was silently listening their conversation look towards Anurag coz he don't even tell him anything.

Anurang blink his eyes looking towards Armaan and he smile lightly, that shy one.

"Kyunki photo panditji k phone me thi aur ham lena bhool gaye" Billy said.

"Offo Tanuji, ye hi-tech panditji k chakkar me ham photo v nhi dekh sakte" Nikki said making sad face.

"Don't worry kal samne se dekh lena, anyways ladki bahut sundar aur innocent hai, aur jaha tak mera tajurba kahta hai she will be very simple and traditional, the girl as Armaan wants who love and respect family members" Billy said and smile looking towards Armaan.

Armaan smile coz he can trust his family blindly, although he don't have feeling for any other girl but that's true girl drools over him coz of his charm. He smile murmuring the name "RIDDHIMA" that name seems to be familiar for him an emotional touchy feeling. A girl who will be chosen as his better half and according to his family that will be best for him. He just pray for goodness.

"Armaan, aaj inhe water park le jane ki jarurat nhi hai, kal ki packing kar lo, hame waha outing v karni hai aur Riddhima se v milna hai. Beta! Shadi k liye tabhi ha karna jab wo tumhe dil se pasand aaye lekin kisi v ladki ko mana karne ka ek proper valid reason hona chahiye kyunki koi v beti showpiece nhi hoti ki ladke walo ki family k saamne aaye aur fir use refusal mile, I think you know what I mean?" Billy said.

"Ya Dad, I trust your decision, agar aap sab ko pasand hai to ladki jarur achhi hogi, you know I respect everyone's feeling. Bas wo v aisi hi ho jaisa aap sab soch rahe hain" Armaan said and Billy hugs him.

"Chalo ab packing kar lo sab log, hame kal subah hi nikalna hai" Anurag said and they left for their respective shopping and finished their packing till night.
