Around 2 AM
Manik
I know she gets up with a very slight movement of mine, but still I managed to get up. I put her teddy bear next to her, and she slept hugging him.
This was one of such nights where something seriously tries to disturb my sleep. I got up and sneaked out of the room. I went to my room which was right next to Nandini's. I opened my laptop and started watching our engagement pics. She was looking so pretty in that long red gown, and I was no less. Hehehe. We look so perfect together. As usual, I dozed off unknowingly.
---------------
Next morning:
It was another busy morning. For a change, today all the girls were still asleep, while the boys got up. They were sitting in the living room.
"Yeh aaj ladkiyon ko kya hua? It's 9:30 and they are still sleeping. Lagtha hain binaa breakfast kiye office jaana parega aaj" Cabir said to Dhruv.
"You don't have to Cabir. The breakfast is ready, coffee lene gaya toh dhekha tha. Don't under estimate your ladies guys. They are perfect in everything" Aryaman said.
"Chalo mein ready ho ke aatha hoon" Cabir said and went to his room.
"Acha Dhruv, mein Cabir ko bathaana bhool gaya, I think you guys need to stay at home tomorrow. Practice karnee hian hum ko, we just have on day for the concert" Manik said to Dhruv.
"Ya buddy, Cabir and I already decided to take an off tomorrow. Don't worry, sab ho jayega" he replied.
"Manik beta, koi parcel waala aaya hain, bohoth saare bags hain us ke paas. Us ne bola aap ne order kiya sab, andhar bhijwaadhoon kya?" Kaka came asked Manik.
"Parcel? Hum ne toh nai kiya, chaliye mein aatha hoon aap ke saath" Manik said and went along with kaaka.
"Sir, Fab5 house mein hi order kiya tha yeh sab" the guy said after Manik asked who he was.
"Order kis ke naam pe hain?" Manik asked.
"Sir Mukti Malhotra ke naam pe hain" he said.
"Mukti? Us ne ithna sab kuch kab order kiya and what are these?" Manik thought.
"Acha, chalo andhar rakh dho" he let him in.
The guy left all the bags in the living room and went away.
Manik walked to the center table, to get his coffee.
"Yeh kya hain?" Cabir who was down by then asked.
"Patha nai, Mukti ordered some stuff, mein wahee dhekh ne waala tha" Manik said walking back to the bags.
"Maniikkk" they heard a girl's voice, from the main door. It was Deepika.
"You scared me" Manik said.
"I am sorry, but you cannot see that" she said standing in front of the bags.
"Wait! What are you doing here at this time? No one else has got up and you are already here. For Aryaman?" Manik asked with a smirk.
"Oh shut up! It is a secret and you are not allowed to see that" she said and checked if all the bags were wrapped properly.
"Okay fine relax" Manik said.
"Acha, ek help kar dho ab, shift all these bags to an empty room" she said.
"What? It's a secret so I am not going to touch it" he replied.
"Offo Manik! they all are wrapped and you can't see what's in it, so chupchap ek empty room mein rakh dho" she said.
"Excuse me, yeh sab blackmailing, wahaa jo phone pe baath kar raha hain usse karo, maan jayega. I have better things to do" he said and went away. She was going to ask Cabir and Dhruv who were also there, but even before that they ran away.
"Kithne gandhe ho tum sab" she said and walked to Aryaman, who was a little away from there, in a call. She pat his shoulder from behind. He turned back and was surprised to see her at that time, all decked up.
"Good morning" she said.
"Dr. Smith, I will call you back in a while" he said and disconnected the call.
"Good morning madam! Ithnii subah, mujhe miss kar rahi thi kya?" he asked.
"tum bathaao" she asked.
"Mein toh poori raath tumhe kiss.. I mean miss kar raha tha" he said.
"Acha mujhe ek favour chahiye" she asked cutely.
"Favour? Are just order na" he said.
"Okay chalo mere saath" she said and showed him the bags and asked to move them to an empty room. He immediately agreed.
"See I told you he will agree to do that" Manik said from upstairs.
"I know he is so good.. unlike you" she replied.
"Whatever" he said and went to Nandini's room to wake her up.
But wait. She wasn't in the room. He looked in the balcony and knocked the restroom door. She wasn't even in there. He went out to ask if anyone k new, only to know that all the girls are missing.
"But where did they go? Hum toh yahee the subah se" Cabir said.
"Do you think there's only one way to leave the house?" Deepika asked.
"No, but why did they have to do that" he said.
"That I don't know. Mukti called me up and said to come here as soon as possible and collect the package, and so I am here" she said.
"Oh you are here for that? I thought tum Aryaman ko icecream khaane le jaane aayi thi" Manik said.
Arya and Deepu's mouth hung wide open.
"Ice cream? What ice cream?" Arya said,
"kaaka ne sab bathaaya mujhe" he said.
"But how does kaka know about ice cream?" Arya asked.
"Ohh toh sachh mein ice cream khaane gaye? Meine toh aise hi bola" he said. Ouchh pakde gaye.
"Oho! Late night ice cream and all huh" Cabir mocked.
"Acha fine, now I will leave, Dhurv tu chal raha hain na" Cabir asked.
"Yes bro! Chal already late ho gaya I have a meeting at 10.30" he said. With that Cabir and Dhruv left for office. Arya and Deepu went to Arya's room and Manik called up nandini. She didn't pick up.
Kaha hain meri pyaari si choti si gudiya
He sent her a text.
Gudiya ko aur beautiful honaa hain, so she is in that process. Disturb math karna for two hours
She replied.
Manik also went back to his room and got busy watching tv.
After 2 hours:
"Manik" Deepika called from outside.
"Take this aur jaldhee se change kar ke aao" she said giving him a bag.
"What is this? And you weren't wearing this when you came here" he said.
"Why are you so curious about my dress? Jaldhee jao aur change karlo" she pushed him in and closed the door.
Aryaman was already in the living room, changed into a white shirt.
"You look handsome, I love the tie" she said.
"You look no less" he replied. (Deepu's outfit)
They were talking when the girls came back home, all looking extremely gorgeous dressed in white.

Manik
I came down after changing into what Deepika gave . It was a very simple, white shirt and i matched it with dark blue jeans.
and that's when my eyes fell on my angel. I was totally bowled out at her beauty. That plain white chudidar...dangling jhumkas...her big eyes perfectly kohled...hair turned to curls at the bottom, plunging on her shoulders..those glossy pouted lips...all in all, she was looking like the most beautiful thing that ever existed in this planet.
I slowly walked to her, and whispered,
Roses are red, violets are blue..No other thing is as beautiful as you
And now that missing part, the blush was also there, completing the look.
"Now you look perfect with this" I said softly brushing her cheeks. And then I noticed that all of us were in white. But why?
"Okay now, what's going on? Why this White festival? Sensation white pe jaa rahe hain kya?" I asked.
"It's a surprise, we are just waiting for Cabir, Abhi and Dhruv to come" Nandini replied.
And soon even they were here. As soon as they came, they were given bags and pushed into three rooms to change. What have these devils planned now?
Once they were ready,
we all walked out and got into our cars. After a 20 minute drive, we stopped at Marriot. Hotel? Hmm... better not to think about the surprise and directly get surprised.
The girls quickly got down and opened the doors for us. Bizarre. They let our cars for Valet parking and asked our hands. Well, all of us were feeling so special at this special treatment.
Let's see what's awaiting
------------
In the elevator:
"Patha nai what you girls have planned, saare kaam chodh kea aye hum" Cabir cribbed.
"You will definitely like it" Navya replied.
"Deepu what are we doing here? Hum toh inki tarah couple bhi nai hain" Arya asked directly.
"Oh shut up and wait Arya" she replied and now they were on the 5th floor.
"Come on boys" the girls said opening the doors of one of the party rooms.
The boys were shocked and surprised to the core to see the preparations. The entire room was decorated with white balloons and other decoration stuff. It was so serene. On one corner there was a dining table with 10 chairs, even that in white. It was basically a white themed date/party.
"This is so beautiful, just like you all" Dhruv said walking around.
"Thanks Dhruv! Atleast you said it. Warna yeh logon ko dhekho, kuch reaction hi nai hain" Mukti said.
"This looks like a different world, so peaceful. You did a great job girls. We love this surprise" Manik said.
"We second that" Cabir, Arya and Abhi said together.
"Finally! So you really like it?" the girls asked and they all nodded their heads in positive.
"Please have a seat" Mukti said pointing towards the dining area.
They all settled down, next to their partners.
"So why this surprise date? Any reason?" Cabir asked.
"Do we need a reason to show how much we love you?" Navya asked.
"I didn't mean that, anyway forget it" Cabir said.
"So all your favorite food will be served today. I know Abhi has a surgery at 4 o' clock and Cabir and Dhruv also have just two hours, so we will hurry up a bit" Mukti said. Soon the food was served.
They were having food, when nandini stood up and walked to the little stage they set up ahead.
"Okay! So now, we will quickly wrap this up, by singing a few lines dedicating to each of you! Please don't mind my voice. Manik feelings are important okay?" she asked.
"Okay Madam" he said.
"Okay" she said and cleared her voice.
Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein Baat Ban Gayi
Ishq Mazhab, Ishq Meri Zaat Ban Gayi
Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein Baat Ban Gayi
Ishq Mazhab, Ishq Meri Zaat Ban Gayi
Sapne Teri Chahaton Ke, Sapne Teri Chahaton Ke
Dekhti Hoon Ab Gayi
Din Hai Sona Aur Chaandi Raat Ban Gayi
Hoo Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein Baat Ban Gayi...
She finished her song and came to Manik with a small box. He took it and opened it to find a beautiful frame that had their picture.
"This is so beautiful, thankyou Potato" he said looking at the picture. She smiled and came back to him.
Now it was Navya's turn.
"So Cabir this is for you" she said and started.
Aashiqon mein jiska title Titanic
Oo aashiqon mein jiska title Titanic
Muaah kinara dikha kar ke dooba de gaya
Jhalla..mera aashiq jhalla wallah
Mera balma jhalla wallah
Mera jhalla wallah wallah aa aa..
Cabir got up and Navya, Cabir started dancing with the weirdest steps ever.
Humne samjha tha golden jublee jise
Haaye samjha humne golden jublee jise
Oh Woh tu matinee dekha kar ke chuma le gaya
Jhalla mera aashiq jhalla wallah
Mera balma jhalla wallah
Mera jhalla wallah wallah aa aa
"My Jhalla, this is for you" she said and gave him a small box, that had similar wrap as what Nandini gave to Manik.
He opened it and found a very cute picture of them together.
"Thanks Jhalli" he replied side hugging her.
"You both are meant to be" Aryaman said.
"Okay Alya! Your turn now" Nandini said and Alya took the dais now.
Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya
Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan
Rang jaaun, rang rang jaaun ri, haari main
Tujhpe main jhar jhar jhar jaaun
Hoon piya bas teri main
Ho chhu le toh khari main
Ho.. sun saathiya maahiya
Barsa de ishqa ki syahiyaan
They never heard Alya singing such slow melodies. It was so beautiful to hear that. Dhruv went to her, kneeled infornt of her and kissed her palm.
"Thank you" he said. She walked back with him to the table and gave him the gift. By now, they all knew what would be inside. He opened and found a phot frame again, of theirs.
"Beautiful!" he said.
"Thank you and sorry I couldn't sing more" she said.
"Don't be. I am surprised, you chose something like that" he replied.
Now it was Mukti's turn.
Surkh wala, sauz wala, Faiz wala love
Hota hai jo love se jyada waise wala love
Ishq wala love
Hua jo dard bhi toh humko aaj kuch zyada hua
Ishq wala love
Ye kya hua hai kya khabar yehi pata hai zyada hua
Ishq wala love
Agar ye usko bhi hua hai phir bhi mujhko zyada hua
Ishq wala love...
"Abhi I love you" she said ending the song. She joined him, gave him his gift. He opened the box, and took out the frame. It had a beautiful photo of the couple.
"I love you mukti! Thanks for making this moment special. Abhi ko Mukti se Ishq waala Love ho gaya" he said and kissed her forehead. The gang clapped for the couple.
"Okay! So all done?" Manik asked, as all the couples have completed their dedications.
"No! Don't you see two lovely people sitting here? Why shouldn't they get a chance?" Alya said.
Arya was actually very curious to know if Deepika was also performing or not. Breaking his curiosity, she got up and went to the dais.
Hmmmmm..
Namkin Si Baat Hain
Har Nayi Si Baat Mein
Teri Khusboo Chal Rahi
Hai Jo Mere Saath Mein
Halka Halka .. Rang Beete Kal Ka
Gehra Gehra .. Kal Ho Jayega
Aadha Ishq Aadha Hai
Aadha Ho Jayega
Kadmo Se Meelon Ka
Vada Ho Jayega
Aadha Ishq Aadha Hai
Aadha Ho Jayega
Kadmo Se Meelon Ka
Vada Ho Jayega ...
She finished the song and there was silence all over. Aryaman didn't know how to react. She walked up to him and gave him his gift. Everyone were looking with excitement as to where this was going. He unwrapped it, and there was a frame, different from what others got. It was a two photo frame, with their photos in different frames. There was a small note folded, that read,
Hope we get into one frame soon
Arya's happiness knew no boundaries after reading that. He immediately hugged her, not bothering about her reaction or their surroundings.
"Thank you so much for this Deepu. This is indeed so special!" he said hugging her.
Cabir interrupted them with his fake cough.
"Relax mere bachhe" he said. They both sat down on their chairs.
"Well, I must say, you made our day so special. This surprise was really out of the box. Thanks for all the love" Cabir said.
"You guys do so much for us, toh ithna toh karna padega naa hamein. But we are glad you all liked it" Nandini said.
"Ek group picture ho jaaye?" Arya asked and they all gathered up for a group picture.
"3..2..1.. say cheese" Arya said and clicked a groupie.
And that's how the surprise date ended!
All the busy people headed back to work while the jobless ones came back home.
Hope you enjoyed reading! Next two updates will be practice and concert!b
