Styling my hair properly I was ready for today. Taking my coat and mobile I went downstairs for breakfast with my family.
The elders of my family wished me good mornings to which I replied back shortly. "Where are these four ?" I asked nobody in particular about my younger siblings.
"Ayushi and Aashna are getting ready and about Naman and Aman I think they are coming too." Hema, choti maa answered as she served my breakfast.I nodded as I went through some emails on my phone.
Suddenly my phone was snatched from me. I sighed knowing who must be that person."Kitni baar maine bola hai ki khate time phone mat use kara kar Akshit." Maa scolded me.
"Thike maa. Nhi karta phone use par phone toh dedo muje." I said but maa shook her head. "No. First eat your breakfast whole then I will give you your phone back. I am noticing that you are not eating well these days..Akshit."Maa said as she poured some more poha on my plate.
I quickly held her hand to stop her. "Maa..that's enough. I can't eat that much. I am on a diet." Maa hit my shoulder before saying.
"Ohh diet ke aulaad. Chup chap yeh sabh ka le nhi toh mai teri puri diet he
aise ki tesi kar dungi." Maa then showed me her famous Indian mother's eyes and I quickly started eating my poha.
No matter how grown up man I became. I still get afraid of my Mata Ji's glares.
Mummy ka khauf hai !
Papa laughed loudly along with dadu.
"See Pita Ji..Akshit Singhania still gets afraid of his mother." Papa said and I rolled my eyes but a smirk form on my face when dadi pinched Papa's ear.
"Aah..Maa chodo dard ho raha hai." Papa said trying to free himself from dadi's hold. "Acha ji..beta ji ko dard horaha hai ? Aur maire pyaare pote pe hass raha tha uska kya huh ? Tuh bata muje tuh nhi dar tha hai mujse ?" Dadi asked.
"Dar tha hu..maa bhot dar tha hu please chod do nhi toh maira kaan alag ho jayega." Papa whined and I snickered silently. Dadi finally left his ear as he rubbed his ear to soothe the pain. I can see his ear getting red though.
Hema Chachi & Maa giggled and Dadu and Hemant Chacha laughed loudly.
"Yes..you should be afraid of your mother Dev. Beta kitna bhee bada hojaye par woh apne maa ke liye chota baccha he rehta hai." Dada ji said as he sipped his morning juice.
"Pita Ji..apne toh sahi kaha aur vaise bhee agar aap..maa se abhe bhee dar thai ho toh hum kis keth ki muli hai bhala." Hemant Chachu said smirking.
Dadi blushed while Dadu shot a glare at Hemant chachu. Maa and Hema Chachi tried to hide their smiles.
My family elders are something else in this age also my dad and uncle don't leave a chance to tease their parents and my grandparents oh what should I tell you about them ? Dadi still blushes like a teenage girl along with all the ladies of my house like that if they get teased by their husband's names.
Our attention went towards Aman and Naman who just entered.
"Just accept that I am more handsome than you..idiot." Aman said. "Oh come on..I am not gonna accept that. You should be the one accepting that I have better looks than you." Naman said while flipping his hair back.
I rolled my eyes. This is not something new for me. They will always fight about who is a more good-looking munda (boy).
Can't they just accept the fact I am the most handsome munda in this house !
"Quit be delusional. I have better looks. Girls die for my looks." Aman said while puffing his chest out. Naman suddenly started to look around the room. "What are you doing ?" Aman asked being confused.
"Looking for the girls who die for your looks. Well I can't see them though. Are those girls also delusional
just like your looks ?" Naman said smirking. Dadu, Papa & Chacha Ji laughed loudly. Maa & Chachi just shook their heads.
"Teri toh----" Aman said embarrassed as he threw a punch on Naman's stomach. "Aahh--badi mummy dekho apne bete ko muje maar raha hai." Naman groaned & whined as he ran towards Maa and hid behind her.
"Naman ke bacche..bahar aa tuh..Mummy ke piche kya chupa hai."
Aman said as he tried to pull Naman out from Maa's behind.
"Someone save me from this bandar"
Naman stated as he ran and hid behind his mother. "Tune muje bandar kaise bulaya ? Mai bandar toh tuh..suar (pig)" Aman shouted as he ran behind Naman.
"Hey bhagwan..tum dono subha-subha shuru hogaya." Hema Chachi exclaimed while being annoyed as Naman was using her as a shield to save himself from Aman.
"Both of you right now sit down on your place or else--" I threatened in a stern voice and they both immediately obeyed it. Sometimes or you can say..often forget that they are adults and not kids and I have to put them on a line.
"Akshit..tuh he inn dono bandaro ko sambhal sakta hai." Hema Chachi said with a smile. "Maa..we are not monkeys !!" Aman and Naman voice out only to get smack behind their heads from Maa.
"Acha ji ? Toh kon 2 min pehle bandaro ki tahra uchal-khud kar rahai tha." Maa said as she served them food. The brats pouted in return. I rolled my eyes as I focused on my poha.
"Inn dono ko toh Akshit sambhal lenga par Akshit ko kon sambhal payega ?" Maa said with a sigh and I looked at Maa with a done face. Not again with this shit.
"Aur kon ? humari honi waali parjayee (bhabhi) sambhal le vehgi. Tusi tension mat lo mummy ji." My good for nothing brother Aman stated with a stupid smile on his face and I glared at him back.
"Shamita..go and see where these girls are ?" Dadi said to maa who nodded and was going to walk away but stopped when Ayushi and Aashna entered the hall.
"Agaya tum dono. Itna time kon lagata hai taiyaar hone Mai huh ?" Hema Chachi exclaimed. "Sorry maa..we just couldn't decide to wear which sandals." Aashna stated as she took a seat in front of me along with Ayushi.
"You..girls have such big problems in the early morning." Naman taunted. "Shut up. You don't get our problems cause you don't have a fashion sense."
Ayushi retorted back.
"Oh really ? Boys have better fashion sense than girls right gentlemen's ?"
Aman asked to the mens of the house who royally ignored him cause why not their wife's were glaring at them if they agree with him.
"Hahaha.." Ayushi and Aashna laughed while hi-fiing and Naman & Aman threw a betrayal looks to mens.
Everyone talked randomly about different things while I was just going to finish my poha. Maa passed me my phone when I stood up after done with my breakfast. I was going to move out from the dinning room when I heard.
"Omg Yes-Yes !!" Ayushi shouted. I turned around to see everyone looking at her confused due to her suddenly outburst out of nowhere.
"Why are you shouting like that idiot ?" Aman asked with a frown on his face. "She said yes." Ayushi stated
with a wide smile. "Who said yes ? And who is she ? Who are you talking about Ayushi ?" Hema Chachi asked.
"Ayu..you are talking about HER ?" Aashna asked and suddenly she was also smiling widely.
Who the hell are they talking about ?
Who is SHE ?
"Will you both explain to us what are you talking about first ?" Naman asked being annoyed. "Actually 2 days ago, when we were in the mall for a movie date..Aashna and me bump into those two girls who saved us from those goons who were harassing us." Aashna said.
I clenched my fist but I reminded myself that those bastards are behind bars right now.
"Yeah..so we were really shocked to see those girls. They were actually in the mall for shopping with one more friend of theirs." Ayushi voice out.
"Really ? What did you talk to them ?"
Naman asked being a curious brat he is. "We thanked them again and also told about how those goons were behind bars now. They were happy to know that." Aashna replied.
"Didn't you tell those girls that we want to meet them ?" Maa asked. "We did maa. We actually invited them to come and meet you all as you all want to thank them properly for helping us but they refused saying it wasn't a big deal." Ayushi said.
"It is a big deal for us. Those girls didn't just saved you but they also put their lives in danger. We want to appreciate their help." Hema Chachi interjected firmly.
"Right maa. So we didn't back this time and pesture them to come here and meet you all. They were really reluctant but as we were requesting them alot. They finally give up and said that we will let you guys know when we can come to meet your family." Aashna said smiling.
"Yeah and see I just got a message from one of them and she said yes and asking if they can come today to meet us. What should I say ?" Ayushi asked.
"Tell them to come in evening for dinner." I said. Everyone looked at me. "In that way, we all can thank them properly and show them our gratefulness too." I added.
I want to appreciate their bravery which they showed to save my sisters and I think a dinner will be good for that.
"Yes-Yes..Akshit is right. Tell them to have today's dinner with us and oh asked them what they would like to have ? I will make their specials." Maa said happily.
"Let me message her." Ayushi said as sh fastly typed. A ping was heard from my phone. So I looked towards to it to see a message from Vinod.
Vinod send me the emails sent by Mr.Agarwal. A thought came to mind by seeing his name.
Few days ago when me and Aniket were doing an online meeting. I heard her voice.
Paro's voice.
She was calling Aniket for dinner. After a long time I heard her voice and it still sounded as sweet as ever.
She stopped when Aniket signaled her that he was in an meeting. I thought she left after that but I was wrong when Aniket said that it's dinner time and that his family is waiting for him.
He looked up when he said that means Paro was probably there listening to us.
We ended the call soon. I again reminded myself that she is married women and wife of my business partner and went to sleep.
I came out of my thoughts when I heard Ayushi's giggles. "What did she replied ?" Aman asked.
"Bhai..look what she said. She said that, 'your mother is really sweet for asking about what we like to have for dinner even though we are strangers. Tell her anything she makes we will like that equally because she made that with pure love' isn't she so sweet ?" Ayushi read out then looked up at us with a smile.
Maa smiled widely hearing that. "Hayee..kitni pyaari baachi hai woh." Hema Chachi said with a smile too.
"Such kaha..Hema tumne bhot pyaari bachi hai. Muje abhe isse aur jali se milna hai." Maa exclaimed excitedly.
Wow. My ladies of house looked impressed by her just by one message from her. I must say that was nice of her to say that though.
"Still..does she like food sweet or spicy ?" Maa asked curiously. "She messaged that she can tolerate spicy things but not her friend." Ayushi replied after receiving a message from other side.
Maa nodded and shows thumbs up. I silently chuckled and walked out from there. I heard my maa's voice from behind "Akshit..come home soon."
"Ji maa." I said and sat inside my car and drove to the company.
Time Skip to 8:00 pm
I was going through the last file for today when suddenly my door burst open. I closed my eyes knowing very well who had the audacity to come like these in my cabin.
Duh ! not my employees but--
"Saale..harami hume miss kiya ki nhi tune ? Yuvaan Raguvanshi, my best friend loudly said as he walked inside followed by my other best friend Siddharth Singh Rajawat with his hands in his pockets as always.
Of course other than this Yuvaan no one dares to barged in my cabin like these whereas Siddharth will knock first and then enters..he just don't waits for a "come in" shit. But at least Siddharth has some manners which this Yuvaan doesn't have a bit.
They both sat infront of me as I looked at them. Siddharth passed me a small smile like usual and I nodded back in acknowledgement.
"Oyee..I asked you something. Answer my question. Did you miss us or not ?
Forget about this Sid--I am sure you missed me right ? Ofcourse you did. Who can even not miss this handsome face." Yuvaan said as he flipped his hair back.
Sid and I rolled our eyes on his antics and ignoring his words as usual I asked Sid. "When did you return back from your business trip ? Weren't you in New York ?"
"The business was done so returned today itself." He replied back shortly which is so him. Siddharth doesn't like to talk much. He is an introvert and likes to be in his personal space a lot.
I nodded. "Aree..wah dekho toh muje ignore karke dono kaise baath kar rahe hai." Yuvaan annoyingly said. Well that's one thing about him. He doesn't like to be get ignored.
"And you ? Weren't you in Paris ? Why did you came back ?" I asked as I flipped the page of the file which I was reading. "The work there was done so I came back--but wait what do you mean by why did come back ?
I can come here whenever I want okay." Yuvaan voiced out as he threw glares at me which didn't affect me a bit.
We three met each other in our college days. Yuvaan basically forced Siddharth to join him and me and make us his friends. I remember even during our college days Sid was a quiet kid who just minded his own business but he will not leave someone who poke their nose in his business.
Siddharth is a Billionaire with multiple chains of hotels working under him whereas Yuvaan just like me handles their family business.
A sudden knock came and I permit to come inside and Vinod came inside.
"Hello Mr.Raguvanshi & Mr.Rajawat."
Vinod greeted them. Siddharth nodded at him back. "Vinod..how are you ? Opps--I mean how are you handling this workaholic man still ?" Yuvaan asked with dump playful smirk on his face.
Vinod smiled awakardly not knowing what to answer him. "Shut up Yuvaan and Vinod take this file. I had checked it and signed too. You can process it further." I said as I handed Vinod the file and he nodded in return.
"You can leave now. I am leaving too."
Vinod nodded and bid a short bye to all of us.
"Wow..from when did you start leaving so early ? It's just--" Yuvaan looked at his watch. "8:15 pm."
I leaned back on my chair. "Today some guests are going to come so I have to reach home early." I replied.
"Guests ? Who ?" Yuvaan asked. I sighed now I have to tell them the whole story and so I did.
"What the fuck ?!" Yuvaan shouted as he stood up. "And you are telling this now ?" He glared at me. "Calm down. I already handle it." I said calmly. I knew he would react like that.
"Saale..muje pata hai tuh handle karlega par ek baar toh hume batana chahiye tha na." Yuvaan stated. "You both were out of town. I didn't want to disturb so I thought inform you once you are back." I said and Yuvaan threw a pen at me but I dojjed it and glared at him back.
"What the hell was that for ?" I asked.
"For bringing such stupid thoughts in your brain. How dare you think like that you will disturbed us ? Don't forget that you are family is our family too." Yuvaan voiced out while glaring at me.
I sighed and nodded. Well that was true. My family love these two a lot as well. Yuvaan sat down with arms crossed against his chest. There was silence for few mins which Yuvaan broke himself. "How is Aashna and Ayushi ? They are not hurt right ?" I can sense the worries in his voice for my sisters. Siddharth also waited for my reply as he stared at me.
"They are fine." I stated. Yuvaan slowly nodded and looked away. "Hm..I think I should leave now." I said as I glanced at my watch and stood up. "We are coming too." Yuvaan said as he stood up.
"No need--" I was cut of by Yuvaan. "Abhe saale..teri permission kisne maangi hai ? Woh jitna tera ghar hai utna humara bhee hai..hum kabhe bhee waha aa-ja sakte hai." Yuvaan said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I want to meet maa too." Siddharth muttered as he stood up to. I nodded.
Siddharth lost his mother in a car accident 5 years back and he went into depression also. He loved his mother a lot and still does. Yuvaan and I never left his side and my mother also accepted him as her son so he called my mother as maa too and I have no problem with that.
Wearing my coat we three walked outside my cabin. "I can't believe that two girls beat four goons. Is that even real ?" Yuvaan asked surprised. "That's what I told you dumbass." I muttered to him.
"I am excited to meet them now." Yuvaan gushed out excitedly. Sid and I just shook our heads. We three get inside our respective cars and drove to Singhania mansion.
After 30 mins drive we reached in front of my house. Parking our car's we went inside.
"Siddharth..Yuvaan" Maa said in a surprised tone. Yuvaan and Siddharth went towards maa and bent down and touched her feets to take blessings and maa lovingly patted their heads before pulling them into a hug.
Siddharth hugged maa a little bit longer than Yuvaan. He must have missed her a lot. I smiled slightly.
"Kaha thai tumlog huh ? Kitne dino ke baath shakal dikha rahe ho tumlog apni muje..apni iss maa ki toh yaad he nhi aati tumlog ko abhe." Maa stated dramatically.
"It's not like that maa. We both were out of town for work and just returned today." Siddharth informed with a small smile lingering on his face which only comes out when he is with my mother.
Yuvaan side hugged maa as he said.
"Aur humari itni julat hai ki aap jaise pyaari maa ko bhool sake. Mai neend mai bhee aapko na bholo."
Maa laughed. "Still a sweet talker I see." She said as she patted Yuvaan's cheek. "Can't help when such a sweet lady is in front of me." Yuvaan said with a smile.
"Last time when I saw you were looking beautiful and now you are looking more beautiful as always." Yuvaan said with a wink.
Saala kamina maire maa ke saath flirt kar raha hai abhe bhee !
I shook my head. Maa blushed as she hit his forearm. "Kuch bhee..mai budi hoti ja rahe hu."
"Still you look gorgeous..my lady." Yuvaan stated as he planted a kiss on the back of Maa's hand. Maa laughed and Siddharth chuckled too. All this time he was looking at maa with a soft gaze in his eyes.
"Oyee..dur re maire voti (patni) se kambakht" Comes Papa's voice. We all looked in his direction to see him glaring at Yuvaan.
Both my friends took blessings from my dad too and I snickered when Papa ji patted Yuvaan's back a bit hardly than it should be needed. Yuvaan groaned as he quickly took a few steps back from Papa ji.
"Maire voti ke sath abhe bhee flirt kar raha tuh..Sharam nhi aati tuje." Papa ji stated as he squinted his eyes at Yuvaan. "He was not flirting. He was just praising me which you don't do anymore." Maa said the last part in a whisper but we all heard it. I shook my head.
"Siddharth..Yuvaan bete when did you both came ?" Dadi asked as she came along with the remaining family members. Siddharth and Yuvaan greeted the elders by touching their feets and hugged Aman and Naman.
Siddharth patted Ayushi and Aashna's heads. He considers them as his sisters. Yuvaan greeted Ayushi but he didn't greeted Aashna as usual.
Aashna and Yuvaan doesn't go well with each other you can say. They say that they found one another really annoying.
"You three should go and freshen up. Our guests must be arriving soon." Hema Chachi said. I nodded and moved towards my room.
I took my clothes and went inside the washroom to took a shower. A sigh left my lips when cold water came in contact with my stressed muscles. I immediately felt little bit relax.
I want to stand under the shower for more time but I reminded myself that some guests are coming and I have to meet them too. Turning off the shower I wrapped a towel around my waist and moved out. After drying myself I wear my clothes and moved to dressing table as I comb my hairs.
Taking a last look at me in the mirror I took my phone and moved out from the room.
Reaching down the stairs I saw everyone was already there and talking with each other. As I moved closer to them Yuvaan pulled me and made me sit in between him and Sid.
I glared at him but he just ignored it as he continued to flirt with Hema Chachi now and Hemant Chachu like Papa ji was glaring at him.
"Ayushi..call them and ask where are they ?" Dadu said. "Dadu..I just received a message from one of them. They are saying they will reach soon."
Ayushi informed.
Just as she completed the door bell rang. Ayushi and Aashna jumped and shouted. "It must be them." Saying this the two of them moved towards the door to welcome those girls. We all stood up and just as I was going to turn around my phone ping so I opened it to see.
I heard maa saying. "Namaste. Andhar aao na tumlog." My family also welcomes them warmly. I also heard Yuvaan's voice. "Wow..They are beautiful." I shook my head on that.
But my heart skip a beat when I heard a very familiar voice followed by an unknown voice. I must be dreaming right ? She can't be probably here ? In my house ?
"Namaste" "Hello"
I turned around and came face-to-face with Paro...
When her night blue eyes crashed with my brown ones..her eyes went wide in pure shock.
"Tum ?!"
We said at the same time as we pointed at each other.
Can this be more serious right now ?
What she is doing here ? In my house ?
