She hopped putting her right leg into his home... smitten by the beauty it possesed...Unconsciously her back took the support of his shoulder, as her limping leg was doing it's work, with a awww shaped mouth, gauging curiously every corner of the little paradise...
" Chote baba, aapne bahuraani ko ander bhi laadiya...humne bola tha na ki dehleez pe hi khade rahoo...
Aarthi toh karne dete... "
An elderly sounding voice caught her attention and she quickly turned with a innocent face....
did she have to behave like a ideal bahurani now ????
Rajveer - " Areee, Kaka...
Maine toh ise kaha tha, ki yahi rukoo lekin aap toh Naveen ko jaante he na...
Kitna utavla he woh..."
Grabbing Naina's luggages which was carried by her delicate hands, he placed them near the couch, smartly trying to escape from his Kaka's dants....
" Bhaiyya Maine socha aapke Shaadi is beautiful Bhabhi se huii he, naaa ki aapke us lambe zombie jaise dost se...."
Another lovely voice came from the kitchen, Naina rotated her neck now, excited to know the owner of the sweet words...
Aakhir bahot dinoo baad, apne Bhai ke itne tareef sunii he....
Rajveer walking towards the young girl, collided with the dining chair, and moaned lifting his leg....
Naina in a low tone,
" Karma..." muttered which didn't dissolved in air before reaching his ears...
He gave a look to Naina which fluttered her heart beat for a second as that anger dipped eyes radiated with such sexy vibes...
Naina, be in your limit...
Her mind warned...
Holding his own right leg, he engulfed his sisso in one spare hand,
" Mere kehne ka yeh Matlab tha ki...."
" Ki!!!
What Bhai...???
Elaborate..."
She demanded...keeping her hands on the both side of her waist...like a typical little sister...
Rajveer scratching the back of his ear,
" Yeh bhi toh Naveen ki behan he...uski jaisi he..." then quickly moved towards Kaka, changing his face into a cute kiddo,
" Maine Bola toh tha ki ander nahi jaana...Kaka ko aarthi utarna he... aur isne suna hi na... Yeh Meri baat hi na suntii
Kyun Naina ???..."
He requestioned her....
Naina saw him widening her pupils... what the hell this muhh pe thala lagaya hua man is doing??
Delhi mein toh Ek word bolne mein aise behave karte jaise ki astama ke patient ho...
Abhi dekhoo, aise bol rahe jaise yeh chidiya Ghar ke owner he....
Kahin yeh Rajveer toh nahii...I mean Ranveer toh nahi... Rajveer ke judwa Bhai...
Maine suna he, padha he ki judwe bachche exact opposite hote he ek dusre ke...
OMG... Agar yeh suchmein yesa case nikla toh Naina Tera hoga kyaa??
Isko pata chalega ki tune iske sage judwe Bhai ke saath kyaa kyaa Kiya he...yeh toh Diwali ka bada cobra jaisa pataka lagta he...
Achcah hoga ki yaha se phehle nikal tu...
Aur...
Suddenly she felt a earth quake on her shoulder....and came out of her imaginary world...
Rajveer - " Naina, tumhe chakkar aarahe??
Room mein jaake aaram karoo..Chaloo.."
He tried to drag her a little, indirectly running for his life....
" Aise kaise Bhai... Phehle mujhe baat toh karne do inse..." she came like a toofan, pushing Rajveer on the couch, and took Naina along with her...
Rajveer - " Piaaa.... This isn't fare..."
Making Naina sat exactly opposite to Rajveer,
" Hii Bhabhi... I can call you Bhabhi na??
Yaa fir Vaini bulavun???...."
Naina still doomed, analyzing the special aura of this home,
" Bhabhii !!!..."
" Toh Bhabhii...
Main Pia hu... Pia Sharma... Aur.... " pointing at the laughing Buddha stood with a Arthi ka thaal in hand,
" Yeh he mere Daadu, Prakash Chandra Sharma... jinko Bhai kabhi emotional hoke Kaka bulate he...aur yeh Bhai ko Chote baba... " pausing for a second she bent a little, and whispered eyeing at both devil men,
" Yeh dono aksar ek team banke mujhe na har baat pe Hara dete he... Now I'm happy ki aap aagayi he mere side lene...
Aap logii na ??? Yaa fir aap bhi Bhai ke...."
Naina held her hand instantly with a grin of getting something precious,
" I'm with you..."
Pia hugged her showing her tongue to Rajveer who asked Kaka what's going on between two Shaitan minded girls...
And Kaka signalled that he will enquire about the issue later on....first she needed to whoosh this little brat away...
Kaka - " Laadoo, bhabhi toh abhi aayi he... usko aaram toh karne doo...kitne lambe Safar Kiya he... Tum college jaavoo... Tumhara toh woh Exam he na aaj...late ho jaavogi.... "
He picked a damn good reason to kick out two bro sis jodii....
Behan ko bhagaya he...Bhai ko nahi!!
Yeh sochrahe???
Rajveer getting up,
" Bhagh yaha se... Warna roke math baitna ki fail hogayi firse..."
He teased her...
Pia flaring her nose,
" Firse Matlab ??? Main kab fail huii thi??..."
Rajveer - " Tu kab nahi huii thi..."
Stood parallel to her.....
Kaka - " ab dono firse shuru math ho jaana... Laadoo, Modak khake jaana.... achcha jaayega exam...."
Pia - " Kaka... Aaj project submission he bus.. Ansh kardega woh...Mera jaana important na he... Rehne doo na... Bhai bahot din baad aaha he aur Bhabhi se kitna..."
She stood showing off her pretty puppy eyes...
Rajveer wiping her fake tears,
" Iske wajah se hi aaj Kal shudh paani milta nahi he...har jagah pollution... Thoda Rona dhona Kam karna seekh...aur yeh Bata Tera joh Ansh he gaadi leke aayega ki bike??..."
Pia smacking his head,
" Bike bhi gaadi hi hoti he Bhai... Aapko kisne army officer banaya... ???..."
Rajveer - " Merii Mehnat, Meri Lagan ne...
Chaloo...main bhi aaunga Tere saath...us Ansh kw bachche ko dekh bhi lunga ki he Kya chese woh...."
He walked out to wear his shoes ..
Pia gulping two Modakas, hugged everyone including Naina,
" Koyi Mujje chodke gossip nahi karega... yaad rakhna... "
Rajveer revisited Naina's face which is glowing with glee now, and thought of fixing that happiness in eyes permanently...not knowing that his heart too started healing in her presence...
Pia - " Bhaiyya... Bhabhi ko baadmein taadlena abhi chaloo...
Ansh aagaya he..."
She shouted reaching the lift, grabbing everyone's attention towards him...
Rajveer - " Chal..."
************************
After the two talkative persons left the home, Kaka started his turn, gossiping with Naina about Naveen and Rajveer's mastis...which werw unknown to her knowledge....
He showed her the entire home, the garden area outside the balcony...and now, they stepped inside the kitchen....
Kaka handovering her a modak,
" Naina beta,
Tum na mujhe apna saas samajhloo... aur sasur bhi....
Main bahot hi strict kism ka insaan hu... "
Naina cheekily,
" Jii Kaka..."
Kaka - " aur is Ghar ke bahu hone ke naatein subka khane peene ka khayal rakhna tumhari zimma he... "
He announced giving her a plate and spoon....which she took with shivering hands..
Naina - " Jii Kaka..."
She smiled nervously cursing Rajveer who left her in this jumbld situation...
Kaka - " So tumhara duty shuru Hota he aaj se, I mean abse......"
He turned towards the stove giving Naina a heart attack...
Naina with a rothlu face,
" Kyaa ???.... Lekin pehhli rasoii toh sasural aane ke next day hota he na...." then instantly changing her attitude, as his looks seemed too daravna to her,
" Films mein toh aisa hi hota he.... "
Kaka - " achcha..."
Naina - " haan... Maine dekha he..."
She proceeded to safe herself...
Kaka leaning to tbe kitchen counter,
"Lekin hum Chote Baba ke Kaka he...so aaj hoga tumhara phehli rasoii...aue bolo,
Rajastanii, Punjaabi, Yaa fir Mumbaikar ???.."
Naina not knowing what to select??? Wait about which thing he is talking about ??
Kaka understood what she must be thinking,
" Cuisine poocha Maine...."
Naina gulping her saliva, completely scared about cooking,
" Kuch bhi chalega..."
Uttered...
Kaka - " theekh se bolo... Aakhir tumhe hi dekhna he... baadmein yeh math bolna ki..."
Naina sweating badly,
" Aap hi boldoo..."
Kaka - " Dekhoo,
Rajastanii mein gatte ki sabzii, roti aur daal baati churma....
Punjaabi mein sarson ka saag, makki di roti aur kheer....
Aue humara yaha mein aavo toh vada paav, missal pav, batata paav, paav bhaji, sev Puri, bel Puri....puran Poli, basundii...."
He started counting the things....with his fingers....
Naina closing her ear buds, imagined herself struggling with the vessels atta, and masalas, and shouted,
" Nahiii Nahiii...."
Kaka stopped his words,
" aise na bolte beta..."
Naina - " Nahii Kaka...main yeh sub..."
Kaka - " Koyi ek cuisine toh select karoo...sub ko nahi karna he..."
He tried to explain....
Naina - " inmein se Maine aaj Tak ek se do dishes khaya he....baaki sub...suna Tak nahi...."
She said closing her eyes and expected a lamba chauda bhashan from.him....
Kaka - " haan toh ab khaleena...
main suchmein achcha khana pakata hu...Mera khudka catering ka business bhi he baaju wale Gali mein...
Ek baar chak ke batana Zara...Maine khaas tumahre liye banaya he...." saying this he started filling a plate with the dishes kept in vessels...blowing off her nostrils.witn such a delicious arouma...
Naina holding her heavy heart, which is now relieved of cooking, and weighted with such love filled dishes,
" Itnaa sub aap ne banaya..."
Kaka - " Haan...woh Chote baba be bola nahi tha ki tumhe Kya pasand he toh Maine yeh Punjabi ka aur rajastanii banadi...
Agar tumhe kuch aur pasand he toh boldena main usase mangwalunga..."
He said standing there with two plates...
Naina - " Lekin itna sub..."
Kaka - " yeh sub toh Mera do haath ka kamaal he... Main toh MasterChef mein jaana chahta tha... Lekin laado ka exam chal raha toh socha agle season mein jaavun....
Tum aisi khadi kyun ho...
Chak ke.bolna ki kamii Kya he???..."
He said getting excited with his new Bali ka.bakra...
Naina - " lekin Meri phehli rasoii..."
She doubted with the weird things happening with her...
Kaka - " yahi toh he... Main khana banaunga aue tum chak ke bolna...
Hogaya na subka khane peene ka khayal rakhna....
waise bhi laadoo apne diet ke chakkar mein ek nivala zyada na khaati aur yeh Raj ek saal mein do baar aata he chehra dikhake bhagta he....
Ab tum aagayi toh Mera team ban gaya.."
He said showing off his teeth set....
Naina pressing his hand giving him assurance,
" I'm with you Kaka...."
Kaka patted her head, Then turning his face to a khadoos one,
" Jab Tak main hu is Ghar mein... Please yaha khana banane ka soch apne.dimag main math aane Dena....
This is my room...aur main bahot possesive hu...samjhii???..."
Naina stuffing her mouth with food,
" Don't worry Kaka... Mujje toh coffee ke alawa kuch nahi banane aata...."
She said proudly...
Kaka sitting beside her in a serious tone,
" Maggie bhi nahi ???..."
Naina whispered back,
" Nope.... Yeh toh mere roomie Vaishu banati thiii... jab main banati hu ek toh kabhi paani zyada daalti hu ya fir masala zyada..."
Kaka - " tab toh bahot achchi baat huii... Waise yeh Rajveer ko pata he??..."
Naina shook her head in negative thinking about him....
Suddenly what happened to that sadistic devdas types upsss gyaani baba???
Itna badal kaise Gaye woh?? Pune ke Hawa mein milavat he....
Kaka keeping his hand on Naina's head,
" Bahot pyaari ho tum..."
Naina with a genuine smile,
" Thanks...Khana bahot hi yummy he...
Mumma ko.yaad aagayi....."
She licked her finger doing a happy MJ dance in mind....
Kaka - " You are welcome my dear Daughter in law... Rukoo main aur kheer laata hu...."
He took the empty bowl and went inside....
Naina picking up her phone called her friend Vaishu to know her whereabouts...
*************************
7 pm
She was peacefully having her afternoon nap, when something rolled on her side, or she felt so...the her hand went to a little or some force kept it aside...
Naina - " Mummaaaaaaa...."
She sat with a thud covering herself with a thick blanket, till neck and saw here and there...
Again the hero fell in her sight....
Naina - " Aap ???...."
Rajveer sitting on the edge of the bed,
" Tumhari friend Vaishu apne project ke liye Shimla gayi he...."
Naina - " aapko kaise pata ???..."
Rajveer - " aur Puna mein tumhe koyi pata bhi nahi he... Sub Delhi aur Banglore mein he...."
Naina - " Yeh bhi aapko kaise pata ???..."
She asked with a shocked face...
Rajveer - " Main Captain hu army mein... Aur I have a good network system..."
Naina - " Haan toh ???..
You spied on me???... How could you ??..."
She almost pounded on him like a mad kitten...
Rajveer - " Simple... Tumhare phone se..."
He answered as if answering a lkg girl's question...but not to forget this girl isn't a lkg one..
Naina throwing a pillow on him,
" Have you gone mad???
Yeh sub aap Kar kyun rahe ??? Maine woh divorce papers rakh toh diyw the...
Now what do you want from me???..."
He kept the pillow aside, and came dangerously close to her, keeping in mind not to touch her....
Naina pulling a pillow between them,
" Door rahoo mujhse.... Mere bhaiyya army mein Captain he...aue mere pass teen doggie bhi he...."
Rajveer raised his hand, and her eyes followed his hand which travelled towards the side table....grabbing a pen from there...
She thought he will step back now but to her surprise,he hovered her more and more...... such that his neck was just above her lips, which could have met accidentally....still being in a sitting position....
Moving the Pen's back side on her ear lobe where few baby hairs were gently sleeping, he tucked them back....
Her hand automatically held his collar, unconsciously waiting for his further action.... just she saw in films...in her dreams... And not with Abhimanyu ever....
He smiled at her devine face, with tight closed eyes.... and rotated the Pen's direction bringing it on her collarbone....
And wrote something which tickled her...
She started laughing with this sudden attack....
Naina - " Hahahahahahahaha..."
He stepped back and sat maintaining a safe distance from her, waited for her smile to dissolve slowly...
Rajveer showing her mirror,
" This is what I want...tumhara hasi... Tumhari Khushi... Agar tumhe ab bhi yahi lag raha ki main ehsaan Kar raha tumpe....toh you can do whatever you wish...
Naveen se baat karloo ek baar, you will feel better...."
Saying this he started moving out....
Naina thought for a second walking upon the path that's infront of her, and caught his hand,
" Is Ghar mein hum char log hi he ??...
What about your family ???..."
Rajveer with a serious face,
" Meri Mom London mein rehti he... Sherry ke saath..."
Naina - " Sherry??..."
Rajveer - " Meri Behan he woh... Dad bhi unke saath hi he.."
Naina with confused expression,
" But Kaka ne bolaa, ki woh aapke dad.."
Rajveer - " Jab main 11 saal ka tha... tab Mumma Papa ka divorce hua tha.... and She married to Dad joh unke Bachpan ke pyaar the...
Mumma ke jaane ke baad Papa settled with his second wife... 'Khabre'... humesha unmein hi khoye rehte.....
Woh Crime reporter the... KKN mein...
do saal pehle he passed away..... "
Naina taking a deep breath,
" Pia aur Kaka ???..."
Rajveer - " Papa aur dad ke bestie he, Kaka... Ghar ko akela chodne ka man nahi tha aur Pia yahi college mein padh rahi thi so....Yahi he woh....
Naina...aur ek baat bolna tha..."
Naina opening her ears,
" Kyaa ??..."
Rajveer - " Left mein joh room mein... Papa ka he woh joh koyi nahi use karta ab....aur hall ke right mein joh he woh Sherry ka he, jismein ab Pia he...
Aue Kaka..."
Naina - " Hall mein sote he kyunki unko beech raat mein dishes banane ka interest aata he...he said this one...
aap yahi couch per so jaayiye... I won't mind..."
She exclaimed with joy...remembering Kaka's love for cooking...
Rajveer - " but Naina..."
Naina - " I trust you.. aap so Jana yahi pe..."
Rajveer - " Naina..."
Naina - " ab is baat pe Kya problem he aapko.... "
Rajveer - " There is no couch here... Sirf ek table aue chair he...
Aur ek hiiii Bed....."
He uttered in one breath...stuck to know her reaction....
And she went silent......
Writer ka haath numb hogaya likhte....
So next update ka wait karoooo...
Love You Guys 😘
Aapki,
Nandu ❤️
