In the mall :
Total family of Malhotra's and Murthy's were present at the most costliest mall in Mumbai, why wouldn't it be.. they were Malhotra's afterall. Fab 4 and Abhi were also present there in no time as they had decided to shop together. The ladies entered followed by men into the designer showroom whose entry was banned for everyone except for them that day..
"nandu this is the best showroom in Mumbai... beta buy all those you like.." nyonika said patting nandini's head and she nodded
"arae kisae bol rahi ho.. agar chod do na.. toh pura mall kharid kae ghar lae jayaegi yeh madam..!" shalini said looking at nandini and she faking anger walked to the other side dragging mukthi and aliya. Dj nyonika and shalini were selecting sarees for themselves while girls were busy trying all the possible outfits..
Meanwhile on other side :
"yaar.. yae bakwaas idea kis ka tha..?" cabir asked making a grumpy face sitting on the chair which the salesperson had just brought for manik
"haan yaar.. mai aliya kae saath lunch kae liyae bahar gaya tha and the moment we stepped out after having lunch for a long drive.. mukthi ka call aa gaya.." dhruv said in the same tone looking here and there searching for a place to sit and on finding nothing he collapsed in cabirs lap
"abae..!! pagal..! uth..! Aliya nahi hun mai.." cabir yelled trying to push away dhruv but he was too adamant to get up
"yaar.. cabir.. I know ki tu Aliya nahi hai.. isi liyae toh betha hun.. agar vo hoti toh.." and paused
"kya..??" abhi and manik got exicited
"ab tak mujhae nichae push karkae laath mar rahi hoti..!" dhruv replied imagining the consequences if cabir had been aliya and all burst out laughing
"ssly.. buddy tu itna dartha hai aliya sae..?" manik asked gathering some breath after laughing his heart out
"mai nahi dartha aliya sae..!" dhruv retorted and all smiled wickedly looking at him avoiding eye contact with them
"arae aliya when did u come..? kuch suna nahi na tumnae..?" abhi asked looking behind cabir and dhruv. Dhruv's face went pale thinking "what if aliya heard him.."
"baby.. jaisa tum soch rahi ho waisa kuch bhi nahi hai.. mai toh bas Mazak kar raha tha.." dhruv said getting up and turning around closing his eyes and on getting no reply slowly opened his one eye and on finding no one there opened his two eyes and the remaining 3 again laughed loudly watching him getting embarrassed and on falling in their trap so easily..
"salae abhi kae bacchae.." he said fisting his hands and ran after abhi who already started taking his steps back by then and a tom and jerry show started in the showroom.
********
"what is wrong with you both.." mukthi said standing in between dhruv and abhi crossing her arms on her chest.
"tu hat beech mae sae.. let me handle him.." dhruv said taking a step forward towards MukhBhi when aliya came from behind
"what is happening dhruv..? hum log shopping karnae aayae hai.. and what are you two doing..?" she asked looking at dhruv and abhi
"aliya.. u know what dhruv said..?" abhi came from behind mukthi and looked at dhruv
"baby lets try something else.. you know yae colour tumpae itna accha nahi lagtha.." dhruv immediately changed the topic taking the dress which aliya was holding
"kya bola dhruv nae..?" aliya asked seriously throwing the dress in dhruv's hand and dhruv gave abhi "bhai-math-bol-marway-ga-kya" look.. abhi nodded in assurance and said "arae yehi ki.."
"ki.." aliya narrowed her gaze
"ki.. tum bohath sweet ho.." abhi said in one go and dhruv let out the breath which unintentionally he was holding from so long
"aww.. dhruv.. tum kitnae sweet ho.." aliya said pulling his cheeks and he blushed a little while mukthi continued " agar tum dono ka yae kuchi koo.. ho gaya ho toh lets continue.." and walked away dragging abhi along.
"manik... cabir.. what are you both doing there..?" raj called both of them standing in a corner and laughing over something
"coming dad.." manik said and pulled cabir along and they were selecting random clothes for themselves while MukhBhi and DhruLya were busy picking clothes for their partners.
**********
"mumma.. how this..?" nandini said adjusting the duppata of the ghagra she selected for herself.. it was a maroon one with a backless blouse and with little sleevs and a light golden embroidery. the blouse was playing hide and seek with her perfect curves by revealing them partially.
"kitni soni lag rahi hai meri bacchii.." dj said looking at her and kissed her hairs
"bilkul pari.." nyonika said smilingly
"go for it beta.. its good.." shalini continued
"nanduuu.." mukthi and aliya screamed looking at nandini and she got startled at their sudden scream
"kya hua.. accha nahi hai kya.." she asked nervously looking at herself in the mirror in front of her. They both came and stood on her both sides and side hugging her said "you are looking awesome.." in unision and the trio started laughing.
Hearing mukthi and aliya scream nandini's name manik hurriedly rushed towards their side and when he saw nandini in that outfit he forgot to breath. His jaw dropped open and he was looking at her without blinking his eyes. Indeed the colour of the fabric was complementing her skin complexion and she was every man's death.
Cabir cleared his throat to make manik feel his presence and said "muh bandh kar.. warna makhi(flies) ya kuch aur andar chalae jayangae.." and giggled. Manik immediately came out of his trance and gave a deadly glare to cabir who shrugged his shoulders and said "manik... ab na tarae gusasae mai vo baath nahi rahi.. nah..! jab bhi tu aaisae dekhtha hai nai.. mujhae hasi aanae lagi hai.." he said in a teasing tone. Manik nodded his head in disbelief and thought "iss ka kuch nahi ho saktha.." and resumed his selection.
*****
"what..?? are you ppl gone mad..?? collage kae freshers party mai tum log yae pehanogae..??" nyonika said in disbelief looking at boys selecting t-shirts and shorts for themselves
"freshers..???" all the kids got amazed at the receipt of this new piece of information..
"haan.. toh phir shopping kis liyae hai..?" nyonika said folding her arms across her chest and raising her eyebrow
"mom.. aapnae kab bataya ki hum log freshers ki shopping kae liyae aayae hai..?" manik said looking at her in surprise
"toh.. ab bata rahi hun na.. drop all these stupid clothes of yours and select something presentable.." she said in a scarstatic tone pointing at the clothes in their hands.
"mainae already select kar liya hai.." raj said coming towards them followed by Kishore and dadu and a staff member of the showroom holding nearly 20+ sherwani's in his hand.
"itnae sarrae..!!"shalini asked looking at the number as the boys were only four.
"haan yaar.. humhae yae sab pasand aa gayae.. ab tum log in mae sae select kar lo..humnae tumhara kaam easy kar diya hai.. right..?" Kishore said and winked at the boys and moved towards him to select the one of their choice.
"tumhari laddu ko blue pasand hai..." mukthi came and whispered in maniks ears and he looked at her surprisingly.
"toh kya..?" he said faking but his heart was dancing as there was a royal blue sherwani among the short listed one for them which he also liked.
"nahi bas aaisae hi.. socha aapko bata dun.." mukthi said and went towards abhi to select one for him. Manik immediately grabbed the royal blue one and finalised it for him and mukthi smiled looking at him as he ran away from there after asking it to pack it for him and thought in her mind "dono bilkul same to same hai..!"
*******
Few moments ago :
"yellow ya maroon..? dono acchae hai.. kaunsa lun..?" nandini was talking to herself and mukthi heard her. Nandini was holding two ghagra's in her hand and was unable to decide between the two.. both were looking good and hence she was in a fix. Mukthi spoke looking at her confused face
"laddu.. bhai ko na maroon bahuth pasand hai.."
Nandini looked here and there and said avoiding eye contact with her "toh.. toh... mai kya karu.." and pretended being busy with her decision regarding her clothes.
"nahi.. socha teri help kardu.. go for maroon.." mukthi said and left from there leaving behind a confused nandini.
"us motu ko maroon pasand hai toh mai kya karu.. ill go with yellow.. yes..." she thought to herself but took both the dresses to the trial room and after a lot of thought process came out wearing the maroon one itself..
*******
back to present :
"I think this one will match with yours.." nyonika came from behind and handed over a pink colour ghagra to cabir who was holding a black colour sherwani and a lavender colour ghagra and was trying to pair them up.
"perfect..! mai toh pata nai kabsae meri sherwani kae liyae matching dhoond raha tha..thank uuu..." and he couldn't finish his words after turning around and finding a smirking nyonika standing behind.
"kis kae liyae hai yae..?" she said pointing at the lavender colour ghagra in his hand and he immediately hid it behind him but it was too late.
"kis..kis kae liyae.. kisi kae liyae nahi.. vo toh bas mai aaisae hi.. bus you know casually dekh raha tha.." he said looking here and there avoiding nyonika's gaze. She crossed her arms on her chest and said "tu batayae ga yaa phir tarae doston ko bulau..?" the smirk on her face was growing more along with sweat on cabir's forehead
"nahi nahi.. unko math batana.. mar dalangae.. specially vo abhi aur manik.. they will not leave me for sure.. please.." he surrendered immediately
"chal bata.. kis kae liyae teri sherwani kae saath yae stupid combination ka ghagra pair up kar raha tha..?" she was straight on point.
"arae aunty.. pair up nai..vo..vo..vo mai bus ek.. ek.. haan.. ek friend hai us kae liyae lae raha tha.. but kuch decide nahi kar paya.."he stammered badly. Nyonika suppressed her laugh and looked around and said in a bit loud voice "manik.. abhi.. dhruv.. I think cabir needs your help.." she was loud enough to catch their attention but to cabir's good look they were not nearby.
"navya.. navya kae liyae select kar raha tha.. meri sherwani kae saath match honae walae colour kae saath..."he said hanging his head low
"bahuth pyari hai..?" nyonika asked curiously
"bahuth.. ek baar dekho aapko bhi zaroor pasand aayaegi.." suddenly there was excitement in cabir's voice and he bit his tongue after realising what he said in his over excitement.
"hmm.. toh.. yae baath toh pakki hai ki tujhae pasand hai.. tunae usae bataya..? what about her opinion..?" nyonika was supper happy for cabir.
"nahi bataya.. pata nahi kaisae react karaegi.. bilkul filmy ladki hai.." he said in a low tone and nyonika laughed seeing his expressions
"toh kab batayae ga ussae..?" she asked
"umm.. first ill make her comfortable with me phir slowly ill tell her.. agar abhi bata diya toh paas bhi aanae nahi degi.." he said in a dejected tone
"don't worry beta.. nobody can resist my cabir's charm.. definitely maan jayaegi.." she said and caressed his hair and continued "shailaja ko pata hai..?" she asked again and he nodded a NO
(shailaja dhawan - cabir's mom and a good friend of nyonika)
"mai bataun..?" she was back on teasing mode and cabir panicked and said loudly "no.. mumma ko math batana.. you know how she is.. collage aa jayaegi marae saath aur mujhsae zyada she will get interested in navya.. shayad navya kae first year khatam honae sae pehalae hi she will get us married...and ill be surely gone.. aunty aap bhi kuch math batana.. when the time will come. I myself will tell her.." he said after taking a tour on the imagination "what if my mom comes to know"
Nyonika laughed and said "ok..ok I will not tell.. but tu bhi zyada der math karna.." and turned to leave but again turned to him and said
"this pink one will be more good with your sherwani.. yae daedaena..kya naam hai.. yes Navya.. Navya ko dadaena" and left from there.
"uff.. baar baar bachae.. agar kisi ko pata chaltha.. toh... cabir beta.. teri love story start honae sae pehalae hi the end ho jathi.." he said to himself and took the pink ghagra for getting it packed secretly.
*******
"mumma.. im hungry.." nandini said as their shopping was done and the billing was going on
"tum log chalo.. have something in the food court.. and we elders have some work in the jewellery shop.. we will wrap it up and meet u.." dadu said looking at them and the kids nodded in approval without any further questioning as they were tired and hungry as well.
"jaldi jaldi chalo.. chuhae nahi elephants are running in my stomach.." nandini said dragging aliya and mukthi along and the rest followed her laughing.
FOOD COURT :
All the 7 members reached the food court and occupied the table. They were sitting something like this Manik-Nandini- Mukthi-Abhi-Dhruv-Aliya-Cabir."mujhae ghaas bhi mil jayaega na toh bhi I will eat it without complaint.." nandini was seriously hungry and was blabbering all this
"sacchi.. so you are gonna eat grass now like a cow or sheep.." manik said with all time smirk on his face and others giggled at his comment
"tujhsae matlab.. golu chal.. lets order something.." she said and got up to get something to eat.
"no need.. mainae already sab kae liyae order kar diya hai.. so ab shor machnae ki zaroorath nahi hai.. sit and wait for 5 minutes..u barking panda.."manik was full on in his teasing mode.
"oye motu.. don't test my patience.. bohath maar khayaega.. yaad hai vo punch.. ussae bhi double force wala milaega if u keep on irritating me more.."she said with a smirk on revealing the info that manik had already got a super punch of hers. Manik's expressions changed watching her giving him open warning infront of everyone and sitting with a carefree expression. To add more fire cabir said "arae wah.. manik malhotra ko punch kiya.. I must say nandu.. u r something.." he said and extended his hand for a hi-fi with nandini but was interrupted by manik who was sitting in between the two and got hit by both of them from either sides for interrupting their celebration.
"ahh..!!! cabir..!!nandini...!!" he said in a frustrated tone and cabir made an innocent face and said "what did I do manik.. tum achanak sae beech mai aa gaye and got hit.. kyun nandu..?" and looked at nandini who made a more cute face and said "haan.. u were the one who came in between and shouting on him.. very bad manik..!!". all were trying their best not to laugh seeing manik sitting helplessly between the ever naughty cabir and nandini. He sighed frustrated and said to himself "calm down manik calm down.. cabir ko tu baad mai dekh laena.. ussae toh mai nahi chodunga.. aur yae panda..iski toh band bajnae wali hai once we r home..huh..!! kya samajh kae rakha hai apnae aap ko.. batata hun ki mo..nahi nahi.. batata hunk ki Manik Malhotra kya cheez hai.. just once we r home and she is gone for sure.."
Meanwhile the food came. Manik had ordered burgers and coke for everyone which they ate as if they were eating after starving for 10 days. Funniest among them were nandini and cabir who grabbed the burgers and started munching them as if they were the most hungriest ppl on the whole earth. Others laughed seeing them and continued with their one's. manik was looking at nandini from time to time watching her cute cute faces that she was making while eating. He picked up a tissue to clean her mouth as something was stuck near her lips which she didn't bother to clean up and was busy eating. The moment his hand touched her face nandini froze. She looked at him with widened eyes and gestured what by raising her eyebrows and he nodded a no and moved his hand to clean her face. He cupped her cheek and wiped off the sauce from the corner of her lips and brushing his fingers on her lips making her close her eyes because of his touch and was caressing her cheek with his thumb and after done by his cleaning business he leaned towards her ear and said huskily "agar hum abhi bahar nahi hotae.. toh I would have cleaned it in a different way.." and moved back and winked at her making her turn a totally red tomato understanding the meaning of his words. He smirked seeing her tomato red cheeks and pulled her cheeks and said "this is just the starting darling.. there is a lot more to come.." and left her cheeks and she blushed to the deepest shade of crimson.
"don't u think ki u should have a look of your surroundings also.." abhi said looking at the totally lost manan in their own world and as their trance got broken started looking here and there. Nandini was blushing more and more where as manik slapped himself for loosing control in front of everyone and was trying to find some "valid" excuses to tell them but unfortunately nothing was striking his mind. Taking this as an opportunity Cabir said "manik agar tujhae uskae saath akalae time spend karna tha toh bol deta na.. we would have left long back.. bacchon kae samnae adult seen dikhnae ki kya zaroorath thi.." and all laughed loudly at his comment. Nandini was searching a place for her to hide and save herself from further embarrassment.
"haan yaad buddy bol deta.. we would have left u alone na.. ya phir vahin kahi trial room mai ghus jata tu nandu kae saath.." dhruv said with a naughty smile and manik gave him "ab tu bhi nahi chodaega kya"look to which dhruv said "how did u think so manik.." and all joined him in another round of laughing session. Manik was praying for someone to come and save them from further embarrassment and to his good luck he got a call from raj asking them to come down if they were done with their eating business. He informed the same to others and without waiting for anyone's reply went from there dragging nandini along and all laughed loudly which they were suppressing from very long.
*****
"manik.. chodo mujhae.. why the hell are you dragging me along with you..!!" nandini spoke in an irritated tone as manik was not listening to her pleas and was dragging her
"just shut up and come.. didn't u see what all they were saying" he too said in the same tone
"yae sab tumhari galathi hai.. kya zaroorath thi vo sab karnae ki..?" she said in a demanding voice and he stopped and turned his face to look at her. She got scared seeing his eyes spitting too much of rage and she diverted the topic saying
"lets go fast.. mumma papa must be waiting for us.." and started going towards the main entrance where all were already waiting.
Manan joined them and mukthi had already informed that she will come later and all the elders along with manan reached home..
