At Fab5 house:
It was a lazy Saturday morning. Cabir was sitting on the couch, Navya next to him. They were having their morning coffee, reading the newspaper.
Their couple time was disturbed by a phone call. It was from a private number.
"Private number?" he thought and picked up the call.
C: Hello
P: Hello Cabir
He heard a girl's voice.
C: Yes! This is Cabir, may I know who is calling
P: Cabir it's me Deepika
C: Deepika? Ye kis number se call kar rahi ho tum?
D: Cabir I need your help.
C: Deepika! Are you fine?
D: No Cabir, I am not fine. Pappa house arrested me. I am at Harshad's farm house at Lonavala. Cabir, yaha Harshad ke saath meri shaadi ki thayyariaan ho rahe hain
She said and started crying
C: What? Shaadi? Deepika stop crying first, mein hoon na. mein kuch kartha hoon
D: Cabir please kuch karo. I don't even have my phone. Chupke se I am calling from a security guy's number
C: Security guy? But it said private number?

C: Yes. Aur wohh tum pe bohoth gussa bhi tha, we got to know that you guys have gone to Delhi for some meeting.
D: Wohh sab jhooth hain. Pappa created that Delhi scene.

C: Bye
Call end.
"Kya hua? Kiski shaadi?" Navya asked.
"Deepika" he said and stood up from the couch.
"Kya? Kiske saath? Don't tell me it's him" Navya said and he nodded his head in positive.
"We need to go there, now. Mein change kar ke aatha hoon, look for Dhruv" he said and went to his room.
Navya went to Dhruv's room. He was in the balcony with his guitar. Dhruv always used to practice in the morning before doing any other thing.
"Dhruv, Deepika ki dad zabardasti uski shaadhi karwa rahe hain Harshad ke saath. Going to Delhi was a drama. Cabir aur mein nikal rahe hain, tum bhi jaldhi se ready ho jao" she said.
"What? Shaadi? Yeh Mr. Ahuja ko pathai nai Deepika ki shaadhi kaa bukhaar chad gaya. Matlab kisi se bhi?" he said.
"Wohh sab baadh mein pehle tum ready ho jaao" she said and went away.
They quickly got ready and started. Alya was out of town for a two day trip for a fashion show.
In the car:
"Yaar ye Harshad ithna kameena niklega mein nai socha. Bechari Deepika hamari wajah se aaj waha phas gayi" Cabir said.
"I am going to dig his grave, agar hamaare jaane se pehle yeh shaadi ho gayi toh" Navya said.
"Ohho! Calm down madhubala, by the way we need to call Aryaman. Wohh mini devdas ban gaya" Cabir said and called Aryaman. He picked up after a couple of rings.
"Hi Cabir! Kya hua iss time pe call, all well?" Arya asked.
"Achha se sun, Navya, Dhruv and I just started for Lonavala" he said.
"Lonavala? Why?" Arya asked.
"Poori baath toh bolne dhe mere bhai. Deepika just called, they have not gone to delhi, wohh jhooth tha, her dad is getting her married to Harshad. Like seedha marriage. No ceremonies in between. She was house arrested aur uske paas apni phone bhi nai thi" he said.
"Oh no! is she fine? I knew something must have gone wrong warna wohh aisa nai karthi" Arya said.
"Achaa! Look whos talking. You said priorities and all and didn't even want to talk about her and now" Cabir said.
"Cabir tab mein gussa tha, but you won't believe me, jab se yaha aaya hoon I have just been waiting for her call or message. Pehle yeh batha is she alright?" Arya asked.
"Haan! She's just scared. mathlab raakshas ke saath shaadi karni hain toh darr toh hoga na" Cabir said.
"Bohoth daree hui hogi, mein bhi nai hoon. I should have waited for her to come back and then travel" he said in a regretful tone.
"Bhai relax. Kuch nai hoga use. We won't let that wedding happen" Cabir said.
"What are you guys going to do?" Arya asked.
"Well, pehle tohh we'll start it with fun aur agar kaam nai bane toh then dhekh lenge" Cabir said.
"Keep me posted Cabir. I am not going to sleep any time soon" Arya said, Cabir agreed and disconnected the call.
At the resort:
"Maa please mujhe nai karnee yeh shaadi. I had so many expectations about my marriage. How can pappa do this to me Maa, I am his daughter na" Deepika said. She was crying badly as the preparations were going on in jet speed and there's no information about Cabir's arrival. She was confident that he'll be there, but still she had that fear.
"Mein kuch nai kar sakthi beta. I tried talking to your dad, but you know him right. Unhe pathaa chala ki Harshad is a rival of Manik and Malhotra industries. And he couldn't say no to Harshad when he asked your dad. Lekin mujhe ek baath batha, Harshad said, you guys went on a date and that you liked him. Toh problem kya hain?" Deepika's mom asked.
"Maa, wohh sab ek drama tha. Just for fun. To teach him a lesson, maa wohh achha ladka nai hain, aap please pappa se baath karo" she said again.
"It's too late beta, and here this is your dress, jaldhee se tayaar ho jao, there'e juts an hour for the event to start" her maa said and gave her a simple lehenga to start with for the occasions before the wedding.
"Aww this dress is so pretty" she said taking it.
"You like it right, toh jaldhee se pehen lo. Harshad bhi yellow pehen raha hain and you guys will match" she said and went away.
"Match with Harshad? No way! Dear dressy, I know you are so pretty and want to become prettier by me wearing it. But sorry baby, I can't wear you, I don't want to match with that gadhaa" she said and put the dress aside. She chose another chudidar which was in her suitcase.
"Yaar, I guess we need that parking tag to get in. Ab kya karein?" Dhruv said. All the cars had special tags, to enter in. Cabir was looking all sides to find something and there he found a car all decorated with roses and held the board, Deepika Weds Harshad. He moved his car close to that car and parked it there.
"Chalo, transfer all those flowers from that car to our car" he said, first the other two didn't get him, but Cabir's wink made them read his mind.
They slowly pulled out a few flowers from that car and stuck them on his car.
After it was perfectly decorated, they went back to the main entrance.
"Sir Parking tag?" the security asked.
"Ithne phool hain, yeh board hain, nai dhikhtha ki hum phool waale hain? Yeh Harshad sir ki dhoosri gaadi hain, unhone mangwaaya, ab jaane dhe hamein andhar" Cabir said. The car had all the wedding decorations and also the name boards, so the security let them in.
"jaayiye sir, aur wahaa park keejiye" he showed the parking space.
"Thankyou aura age se thoda dhimaak chalaana seekh lo" he said and drove in. they highfived after the success of first step.
"Okay ab kya karein? That is Harshad's room" Dhruv said. They enquired the room details.
"Just sneak Deepika out of here, but usse pehle let's have some fun with Harshad, thoda tohh usko tease karna hain mujhe" Cabir said.
"What are you going to do?" Navya asked.
"Three idiots" he replied with a smirk.
"Kya?" Navya asked.
"Pudhina chutney!!" he reminded.
"Saath mein toh dhekhe the, bhool gayi thi kya" Cabir asked navya.
"Nai yaadh hain, toh who'll go inside" she asked.
"Woh" Cabir said pointing towards a random person, he called him, bribed him to take part in his plan and went to the food section. He got a cup full of Pudina chutney, with some sandwiches and gave it to the waiter. The person knocked harshad's room door.
"Sir Madam ne aapko naashta dhene ke liye kaha" he said.
"Mujhe juch nai chahiye, mein khaa loonga tum jaa sakthe ho" Harshad said.
"Sir, madam ne kaha ki agar aap ab nai khaayenge toh, agle 12 ghante aap kuch nai khaa sakthe, tab tak shaadhi ke saare rasmein ppoori nai honge" he said.
"What? 12 ghante" Harshad said opening the door. "Andhar aao, aur wahaa rakh dho" Harshad said showing him the center table. But the waiter on purpose put I ton the bed, on which his kurta was kept. Before Harshad could notice, he acted as he slipped and the whole chutney fell on the kurta
"What the hell? Yeh kya kia tum ne?" Harshad yelled.
"Sir sorry sir. Galthi se ho gayi" the waiter said.
"Galthi? Do you even realize how expensive this kurta is? Upar se it took two hours to match it with Deepika's outfit. You are so dead. Abhi manager ko call kartha hoon" Harshad said.
The waiter slowly walked to the door, "Sir aap ko mera naam patha hain?" he asked.
"Nai kya hain tumhaara naam" Harshad asked.
"Mein kyu bathaaoon?" the waiter said and ran away from the room.
"Abye ruk kameena" Harshad said and was going behind him, quickly realized that he was just wearing his towel, by the time, he put on some decent clothes, the waiter disappeared.
"Sir kaam ho gaya" the person calling Cabir.
"good ab tu bhaag ja jaldhi" Cabir replied and hungup.
"Step 2 success" he said.
"Let's go to Deepika" he said and was going upstairs when a man stopped them from behind.
Deepika's mom saw them going upstairs and was secretly happy that Deepika's friends were there. She was sure they'll take her away. Such a cool mom. She went behind them,
"Hello Fab5" she said, the trio couldn't take a step further.
"Shit pakde gaye" Dhruv whispered.
"Pakde nai gaye, let me help you. Third room from right, No. 208" she said.
They turned back to see deepu's mom.
"Aunty" Cabir was about to say something.
"Wohh bohoth ro rahi thi, I tried to stop her dad, but couldn't. I hope you will help her" she said. and they smiled in agreement.
"Would you mind if we just sneak her away? Or do you want her dad to know its us?" Cabir asked.
"Just take her away. Dhekh lenge" she said with a naughty smile.
"Thanks aunty" they said and quickly went upstairs.
"Deepu" Navya said knocking the door.
"Navya" Deepu thought and quickly opened the door.
"Idiot gang! Ithna time kyu lagaa aane mein huh?" she asked.
"Hum idiot gang? Don't forget you are part of this gang too" Cabir said,
"Acha what's the plan?" she asked.
"The Run-away bride! Stope being so ecstatic. Come with me" he said and they all walked inside the room and closed the door.
"You see that car downstairs? It's our car. Mein pehle jaake car se wohh phool nikaal dhoonga and I will just pull some random parking tag. You need to jump down from here" Cabir said.
"Are you insane?" Deepika asked.
"Arre it's just one level. Hang on, dupatta saree kuch hain yahaa?" he asked.
"Haan wohh suitcase mein" she said showing him the suitcase, he took out few dupattas, tied them together, making a rope and hung it down to reach the ground level.
"Kaam ho gaya. Ab tum ithni pathlee ho, so I am sure we can manage with this" Cabir said.
"Wow! Sounds exciting" she said and checked the strength of the so called rope.
"Dhruv you stay with her, Navya tum chalo mere saath" Cabir said.
"How did you guys get in?" Deepika asked Dhruv. He told her the whole story how they got in, the pudina chutney thing and their conversation with her mom.
"Dhruv apna phone dho jaldhee" she said and Dhruv gave her the phone. She called her mom.
"Thanks maa! I love you. And I will see you soon, take care of dad" she said.
"You take care of yourself too aur haan mein sambhaal loongi don't worry" she replied,
"Oh mom you are the best, acha bye now" she said and hung up.
"Your mom is so cool" Dhruv said.
"Haina, she's my best friend" she replied.
"Acha, do you have your passport and any ID proofs?" Dhruv asked.
"I guess! Let me see" she went in and cheked the suitcase. There was an envelope, which had her's and harshad's passports and some tickets. She opened them to see a honeymoon package to Maldives.
"Milaa? Jaldhee karo cabir will be here anytime" Dhruv said.
"Yes, passport milaa aur kuch aur bhi. Acha do you have a pen" she asked. He gave her the pen.
There were tissues put there, she took one, and wrote on it,
Akele enjoy karna apnaa honeymoon Maldives mein!
Deepika weds Harshad Huh??!! Get a life!
Goodbye
She put the tissue inside the envelope, taking out her passport.
They got Cabir's call, and she carefully got down the rope.
Dhruv removed the rope, put the dupattas back in the suitcase and jumped down.
"Wahh! Kya jump maara" Deepika said patting Dhruv's back.
"He is a gymnast" Navya said.
"Wow! Gymnast? Awesome dude" she said.
"Acha now get in fast" Cabir said and they all got in.
At the gate, Deepika hid in the leg room between the seats, and they covered her with some bags.
"Success!" Cabir shouted as they were way past the farm house.
"Wooohooo!" Deepika too shouted excitedly.
"This was exciting. It was like watching Bollywood movies climax scenes, sab kuch copy kar liye tum logon ne, no creativity" she said.
"Creativity? Oh madam! Aap ko bhagaana hi bohoth hain, now see what your dad and that Harshad will do to us" Cabir said.
"Awww Poor guy. You are Fab5! Kuch bhi kar sakthe hain aap log, and don't worry pappa kuch nai karenge" Deepika said.
"Acha ji aapko aisa lagtha hain? Just wait and watch" Cabir said.
"And by the way wohh bag mein kya hain?" he asked pointing at the bag in Deepika's hand.
"Yeh, this is my dress, which I was supposed to wear one of the events" she replied.
"And you got that with you?" Cabir asked.
"Sabyasaachi kaa naam sunaa hain kabhi" Deepika asked.
"Haan! I guess he is a designer" Navya said.
"He's The Designer Navya. King of Bridal wear. Wait let me show you this" she said and opened the bag, to show her the dress.
Navya's eyes opened wide seeing that dress.
"This is out so beautiful" she said stressing on every syllable.
"Haina! That's why I got this with me" she said and put the dress back.
"You know what, I know that guy, mein tumhaare liye bhi aisa waalaa banaane ke liye bolungi usko" Deepika said.
"Agar koi ghar se bhaag raha hain, toh they get useful things and not designer dresses" Cabir taunted.
"See Cabir, Nandini is like my sister and you are her brother which means you are my brother too. Bhai hone ke naathe, you have to buy me stuff right, toh i'll let you know what all I need and you buy them" she said. Cabir in shock, hit sudden break.
"Harshad is lucky, nai toh poora business doob jaatha. Bechaara Aryaman ka patha nai kya hoga" he said.
"Acha wohh sab baadh mein, Aryaman se yaadha aaya, Deepika first talk to Aryaman" Navya said and connected him on facetime.
"Arya" Deepika said after seeing him.
"Deepu are you fine?" Arya asked.
"Yes! Thanks to our friends" she replied smilingly.
"Thanks guys" Arya said from the other side.
"Thanks ke bachhe chup kar" Dhruv said taking the phone.
"Ab khush hain tu?" he asked.
"Bohoth! By the way Deepu what was all this? Sudden shaadhi and all? Why didn't call any of us?" he asked,
"The first thing my dad did was grabbing my phone. Thanks to the mobile phone generation, I do not remember any of your numbers. Wohh toh acha hua, I just searched Malhotra's website to find Cabir's number. You know the perks of being famous" she said.
"Write down all our numbers on a piece of paper and put it in your wallet" he said.
"Okay uncle" she replied and that made everyone laugh.
"Abey relax kar. She's alright" Cabir said from the front seat.
"And yes, we'll be there home soon, toh ghar jaake baath karenge" he said.
"Did you guys tell Manik about this?" Arya asked.
"I tried calling him, but the love birds were not picking up. Kal bathaa dhenge" Cabir said.
"Okay. Cabir tu aaj raath ke liye apnaa phone bhool jaa. Deepu text me once you reach home" he said.
"Oh hello! There's an extra phone at home, mein use dhedhunga. Celebrity hoon yaar, thoda soch, my phone is very important to me" Cabir said.
"Okay" he said plainly.
"Okay Arya, ghar jaake baath karoongi" Deepu said.
"Okay! Guys drive safe" he said and hung up.
"Romeo Juliet 2 movie mein we can cast you both" Cabir said and that made her blush.
"Oh god! Deepika and blushing? That's something new" Navya said.
Amidst talks and fun, they reached home.
At the resort:
"I was guessing, she would do something like this. But this security, how useless you people are? So rahe the kya? What were you doing?" Mr. Ahuja was yelling at everyone after coming to know about the bride being missing.
"When you knew she would do such thing, why did you force her to get married" Deepika's mom asked.
"You just shut up. Yeh sab thumhaaree galthi hain. Its all your pampering, she dared to take such a big step. Aur yeh note dhekha tum ne? She asked Harshad to go alone on his honeymoon, Aisa koi kartha hain kya?" He asked showing the note.
"Aap bhi jaanthe hain, uski shaithaaniyan, so you should have understood her" her mom replied.
"Harshad beta I am sorry for this. I will get her back and this marriage will be accomplished" Mr. Ahuja said.
"Oh you still think I will marry your crazy daughter? Now I know, that date was also a prank . It was all planned by her. She knew I am allergic to peanut butter, phir bhi she ordered a dish that had peanut butter and then that media. I will not forget this Mr. Ahuja" Harshad said and threw the honeymoon tickets on the floor.
"Chaliye dad, chaliye mom" he said to his parents and they walked away.
"Poori society mein sharmindhaa kar dhi tumhaari beti ne mujhe" Mr. Ahuja said.
"Wohh is shaadhi se khush nai hain, sochiye agar shaadhi ke baadh aisa kuch hua hotha toh? It would've been more shameful and embarrassing. Yeh soch ke khush ho jaaiye, ki she knows what she wants in life. Trust her. Ek baar ke liye" she said.
He silently left from there.
Sorry if it was boring. I know there's no Manik and Nandini in this update. But the context was like that, I wanted to highlight other characters as well. I hope you agree with me. if not, I am sorry.
Hope you enjoyed reading!
