#my sab followers i didn’t forget our loves

[sneakybananabox]

Would it be ok for u to write a fic where Bea gets absolutely drunk (to rid of jealousy because seeing poppy with carter hurts her) at a bar causing her to makeout with another woman where said girl takes her to a private room to get intimate and Bea passes out in the middle of it? And Poppy happens to see this all unfold and…. U can decide what happens next

I got really into this prompt. Thank you for the request.

Warning: Cursing, drinking, SA

I'm sorry

Bea waited for her popcorn to finish and thought about what she would watch on Netflix, ready for her night in. She decided early on that night she just needed a break. Like every college kid, she was being crushed by tests, notes, and more tests. She was ready to watch some shitty show and enjoy some snacks that probably weren’t the best for her health. Not like it mattered much since her body was toned from working on the farm and her fast metabolism.

Staying in felt like a relief, she didn’t want to be around anyone, especially a certain strawberry blonde. It had been a week since their encounter and it took every part of her thoughts. Everything, in the end, led to her thinking about Poppy and she hated it. She wished that night never happened, even though it was the night she knew she had feelings for one Poppy Min-Sinclair. 

“This is going to be a blast.” Sabina jumped excitedly in costume. She fixed her zoot suit hat and suspenders. The black button shirt and white suspenders with the gray striped dress pants gave her the perfect mafia boss vibe. She kept three buttons open to show off her chest tattoos. 

“I guess.” Bea threw on her red puffy vest, she loved back to the future so when she found the Marty Mcfly costume she was ecstatic. She even found the Nike Bruins with the red swoosh. 

“Don’t be a buzzkill, Bea.” Zoey came from her room in her Dorothy costume. Sabina couldn’t help but admire her. She looked at her smooth legs and the way the dress captured her figure. 

“Wow Zoey. You look beautiful.” 

“Sab, better pick up your jaw off the ground before you trip over it. Bea, I know Halloween isn’t exactly your thing. Tonight is about us letting loose though. We deserve a night to relax and forget all our problems. Now my gorgeous roommates let’s go.”

After arriving the trio went straight to the bar. Now with the strength of liquid courage, it was time for dancing. They were enjoying themselves, letting the music drown out everything. Sabina danced with one of the Zetas before disappearing with her newfound dance partner. Bea looked around for Zoey before seeing her talking to someone from one of her classes. An arm pulled Bea out of the crowd and was met with Veronica.

“Hey Hughes, follow me.” Bea was skeptical. Why was one of Poppy’s minions actually talking to her? She let the alcohol make the call and followed the Zeta anyway.  Veronica entered a room upstairs and sat joining the circle on the ground. Bea looked and saw Chloe, Poppy, Carter, Ford, Liam, and Luis. 

“Veronica what the fuck!? Why is Farmsville here?”

“Well, I figured the most attractive people should be here. Zoey and Sab were unfortunately busy or nowhere to be found. Plus Bea is hot as fuck.” Veronica winked at Bea. She couldn’t help but blush at the compliment.

“Whatever. Everyone just sit down. We are playing spin the bottle. The group will rate the kiss and if you get a low score then you do seven minutes in heaven with that person. The queen will go first.” Poppy spun the bottle and it landed on Carter. She pulled Carter by his costumes and they definitely made sure they got a high score.

Bea went next and the bottle landed on Veronica. 

“Well, Veronicats I hope you enjoy the show. 'Veronica sauntered over to Bea and wrapped her arms around her neck. Their lips met, Veronica’s lips tasted like cherries, and Bea did love cherries. She grabbed Vi by her hips and pulled her closer. She wasn’t always this bold, she would have to thank the vodka for that. Veronica nipped Bea’s lip, but her soft lips soothed her immediately. Finally, they pulled back.

“Damn Bea. We should have done that a lot sooner.” Veronica smiled and pecked her lips one more time before going back to her spot.

“Shit that was hot.” Ford cheered on the two girls.

“Whatever, it wasn't that great,” Poppy mumbled. She didn’t know why everyone was impressed with Hughes. She had done nothing but ruined everything from the moment she stepped onto campus. Another feeling was bubbling in her chest. She decided to just push it down.

The time passed and almost everyone had kissed, even the Alphas had kissed each other. The only person Bea hadn’t kissed was Poppy. She was sure Poppy was using any telepathy to keep the bottle from landing on her, she wouldn’t have been surprised with how much she hated Bea. 

Poppy spun and the bottle twirled, the only thing that could be heard was the glass on the floor. The bottle slowed and landed directly on her arch-nemesis. Bea looked up and wasn’t sure what emotion flashed across Poppy’s face. She got up and approached Poppy and offered her hand.

“Looks like you are unlucky tonight Poptart.” Poppy dreaded this moment but knew it would happen eventually. She grabbed Bea's hand and got up, she stumbled a bit and landed in Bea’s arms. “Falling for me already? We haven’t even kissed.” Bea smirked at Poppy.

“Let’s get this over with.” Poppy grabbed Bea’s shirt and pulled her close. Their lips met hard, but soon they found their rhythm. Poppy tasted like strawberry, way better than cherries. As quickly as it started they broke apart. 

“Hm, I don’t know guys. I think Poppy and Hughes got the lowest score of the night.” Liam announced to the group. 

“I agree Liam. Looks like you two have to do the seven minutes.” Luis agreed. 

“You two are out of your mind.” Poppy complained while glaring at the Alphas. Everyone agreed with Ford and Luis. 

They found themselves in a closet. Bea looked at Poppy and admired her devil costume. It made her look devilish and it made Bea want to sin. 

“Keep your eyes to yourself, Farmhand.” Poppy snarled, she would have to think of a way to get back at the Alphas for forcing this situation. 

“Are we just going to stand here staring at each other?”  Bea wanted to change the subject, she couldn’t help staring at Poppy otherwise. 

“If you think I am going to kiss you again then you are out of your mind.” 

“Okay, I am out of here.” Bea began to walk out of the room, but Poppy grabbed her hand. The room suddenly became ten degrees hotter. Poppy pulled Bea closer, she could feel her breath on her neck. 

“I am no quitter Hughes and I don’t want it live-streamed on Veronica’s stupid channel.” Poppy kissed Bea, snuffing out any words that were at the tip of her tongue. This kiss was different, it wasn’t as angry as before. Poppy rested her arms around Bea’s neck and got closer. She could feel the warmth radiate from the Zeta queen. She pulled her close, emitting a moan from Poppy. Her heart felt like it would beat right out of her chest. Her tongue met Poppy’s lips parting her lips. Their kiss was more than lust, Bea could feel it. They heard a timer, reluctant to part from one another. Without saying another word Poppy disappeared out of the room. All Bea could do was look at the spot the woman once stood in front of her. 

Whenever they would encounter each other after that time, Poppy would avoid her. Her words during their sporadic encounters weren’t as angry. It was like the ice queen lost her chill. She missed seeing Poppy as much. She was grateful that Sab and Zoey came to interrupt her thoughts. 

“Hey sis. I know you have a date with popcorn and Netflix, but there is a party at this crazy house. I heard they have the best catering in the city and Lil Nos F is going to be performing.” Sabina hopped on the couch next to Bea, stealing her popcorn.

“No, absolutely not.” Bea snatched her popcorn back away from Sab.

“Bea, please. I am a huge fan of Nos and if I can talk to him maybe it can help with my djing.” Zoey pleaded while batting her eyes at Bea. She knew that her roommate wouldn’t be able to resist the power of her gorgeous brown eyes. 

“Ugh fine. Only because you asked and not for Sab.”

“Hey! I am right here.”

Bea got ready and they all piled into Zoey’s Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. They reached the new house at the height of the party. While coming in they greeted their peers as they passed, the trio had taken the campus by storm and were popular amongst the student body. There were waiters with different drinks on platters and different snacks. Bea thought this had to be the fanciest university party she had ever been to, that was saying something considering the school she went to. She grabbed a glittery purple drink from one of the trays to sip on. It tasted fruity but still had the burn going down.

She tried her best to mingle and enjoy herself, she should have snuck some popcorn into the party. She went to the kitchen in hopes of scrounging up her favorite buttery snack. She wasn’t prepared for what she walked in. Sitting on the counter was Poppy making out with Carter. Her head tilted up as he kissed her neck. The whole house could collapse and Bea wouldn’t be able to notice the difference, she had already been crushed. 

Poppy looked at her, but before she could say anything Bea ran out the room. She tried so hard to hold back the tears but failed as they ran down her cheeks. She was mad at herself, of course, Poppy would never be with her. She only saw her as some farmhand. She thought Poppy and Carter had broken up a long time ago. It didn’t matter now, her chance at the ice queen was gone. Bea took another drink, this time a brown liquid, and downed it in seconds. She would do anything not to feel anymore. She needed another drink and quickly.

Four and a half drinks later and the only thing felt was spacey. The music seemed better and everything seemed more vibrant. She was having a blast dancing in the main living room. A girl caught her eye across the makeshift dance floor. She was gorgeous and she couldn’t keep her eyes off Bea. Tonight was a good night to try new things, so with all her courage, she went over to the woman. Walking wasn’t as easy as before, the drinks were doing the walking now, and Bea was just along for the ride.

“Would you care to dance?” Bea offered her hand to the mysterious stranger, only slightly slurring. The woman gave her hand and they went over to the dance floor. They danced closely, their hands roaming each other’s bodies. Bea felt thirsty from the dancing, downing two more drinks to quench her thirst. The stranger and Bea’s lips met messily. Things were getting heated quickly. The woman led Bea to a room upstairs, closing the door. Bea stumbled over to the bed barely able to walk straight. She landed on the bed and could barely keep her eyes open. The girl started kissing Bea and took off her jacket. Bea looked up at the woman and that was the last thing she saw.

Poppy just wanted to get Bea Hughes off her mind tonight. That night back at the costume party meant more than she knew. Poppy had felt something that night in the closet. What would it look like if she ended up with her arch-nemesis? She would lose any credibility she had built for herself. Her pride caused her to take a couple drinks back and almost hook up with Carter at the party tonight. She didn’t think she would run into Bea that night but also wished she would. The look of hurt would be ingrained in Poppy’s brain forever. She left Carter at that moment and just stayed with the Zetas. She watched Bea from afar drinking and enjoying the company of some stranger. The jealous feeling ran through her veins. She had no right to be jealous after the events earlier in the night. She pried her eyes away only to see Bea later stumble barely able to walk going upstairs. Something felt wrong. Poppy went to find Sabina and then get to Bea.

Poppy went to the first door and knocked and heard the girl. She couldn’t hear Bea though. Adrenaline took over Poppy’s thought process, and she was lucky her parents enrolled her in taekwondo. She kicked in the door and saw Bea passed out on the bed. 

“What the fuck are you doing?” The mysterious woman shouted. Poppy wasn’t going to let her get another word out. She rushed and threw a punch at the stranger, landing straight on her cheek. The woman fell to the ground out cold.

"Don't you ever fucking touch her again or I will ruin your fucking life," Poppy growled at the woman on the ground.

Sabina, Zoey and Poppy ran over to Bea. They helped carry her back to Zoey’s SUV and back to the dorm. 

Bea woke up, feeling like she took a brick to the head. She looked around and saw she was back in her room. Sleeping in the chair in her room was Poppy. Maybe she was still drunk or asleep. She looked over and saw aspirin and water next to her bed. She drank the water with the aspirin, knocking over the bottle of pain meds when setting down the water. Poppy jolted awake and blinked sleepily.

“Sorry for waking you Pops.” Bea looked down instead at the blonde in front of her. 

“How are you feeling Bea?” Bea shot her head up making herself dizzy, she had never used her first name before. 

“I feel hungover and stupid. I drank way too much last night.”

“Do you remember anything about last night Bea?”

Bea felt sick as Poppy retold the events from last night and it wasn’t just from the hangover. She was grateful Poppy saw what was happening. She couldn’t help, but feel impressed at the thought of her throwing a punch. Bea looked over and saw Poppy’s lightly bruised knuckles, damn and she hit hard. Shuffling to the kitchen Bea got an ice pack wrapped in a napkin to help Poppy’s knuckles feel better.

“Thanks, Hughes.” A sense of disappointment washed over Bea already missing hearing her first name move past Poppy’s lips.

“I am the one who should be thanking you. You saved me.”

“Be honest with me Hughes. Why did you drink so much?” Bea didn’t know how to answer the question. She didn’t want to burden Poppy with any sense of guilt. 

“I don’t know.”

“Bullshit Hughes. We may not always have been friends, but I know you well enough that you just lied.”

“Ok. Ok. I let my emotions get the best of me last night. I was um- jealous and hurt seeing you and Carter.”

“Shit,” Poppy mumbled under her breath, when would she stop hurting people.

“Don’t do that, Pops. I know what it’s like taking on guilt for other peoples’ actions. You carry that shit around with you and it will ruin you from the inside out.”

“I hurt you and you are still trying to console me. You are something else Hughes” They sat in silence for a moment. Seeing Bea in trouble made Poppy realize that she felt something for Bea. It was more than a kiss that night a month ago. It was time she worked on putting her pride aside. “Bea, what you saw in the kitchen with Carter was a mistake. I did it because I was trying to deny what I felt for.. you.” 

Bea wasn’t sure if it was because of last night or all the emotions coursing through her, but she thought she was going to throw up. Poppy was admitting her feelings for her.

“Poppy Min-Sinclair, are you saying you like me? With this much luck I better try the lottery tonight.”

“Don’t ruin it Hughes. If you don’t feel the sa-”

“Poptart I feel the same way.” Poppy thought her heart exploded for a moment. Her smile beamed across her face. “I know a great breakfast place. I swear the omelets could solve any problem.” 

“A date Hughes? Already?”

“I move quick.” Bea got up and offered her hand to Poppy. She was inches away from Poppy’s lips. “Maybe this kiss gets a better rating than last night?

“Don’t ruin it, Bea.” Poppy closed the distance and kissed Bea, her girlfriend.

Qurban Hua ~ Episode 1: Of Rakhis, Token White People and Mithai

So like I was playing the sims 4 and my sim’s only daughter (she has 5 kids - 4 sons, 1 daughter) just died from an accidental drowning on her eldest brother’s birthday party (but I quit without saving so she’s back to life). So that killed the whole gameplay mood. And I’ve decided to absolutely ignore my master’s degree (yes I’m going to be at uni for 5,000,000 years - fight me) I am going to liveblog both shows (Qurbaan Hua and Pavitra Bhagya coz that’s what was asked of me). My tolerance for shitty television has reduced since KZK so let’s see how long these liveblogs last....

So without further ado, here’s the first Liveblog of 2020: Qurban Hua (honestly just watching this show for Karan Jotwani’s face and physique) 

Ooh we’re in the hills, with Krishna’s bhansuri and the feelzzz of sanskar

So we’re in Uttarkhand (sorry if I botched the spelling) with moustache uncle and representative white dude who has come to ‘find himself’ 

Do not give a damn about the religious talk (also this white dude doesn’t even know who Ram ji is, he’s just here to drink some bhang, go to a wedding, witness some poverty and go back home) 

Moustache uncle is blind and we see this when he walks with a tree branch (no exaggeration) and his eyes closed. Nothing speaks ‘this person is blind’ than having them close their eyes for every shot 

SO MANS ISN’T EVEN BLIND - HE’S JUST MOTHERFKN COSPLAYING TO BE A BLIND PERSON 

honestly, what is this bakchodi where is my boi 

Yaar ab shivji ke gaane bhi sunne padenge, kya loge main characters ko introduce karne ke liye 

Ohhh he’s the head priest’s son and has become an ‘awara shehar waala’ rather than take over for his dad, who is too weak to carry the aag thaali (I do not know what it is called)

“daya aati hai mujhe Vyasji ki hassi par, pata nahi Vyasji ka launda, unki kaleje mein aag laga kar, shehar mein kaunsi aag bhuja raha hai?” So I thought what a weird dialogue, and then in the next fkn scene: 

THERE’S SOMEONE LITERALLY ON FIRE AND HE’S COME TO SAVE HER

Also behen, toda dimaag laga, the fire isn’t that bad yet, her fkn arms are so loosely tied, and she has the lung capacity to scream ‘aag aag’ rather than find a better way to save herself, and save her energy and breath so she doesn’t pass out. 

All these people and not one person calls the fire brigade 

They call Neel instead, coz he’s invincible 

Now comes a dramatic sequence of events

My man runs, unaffected by the spitting fire, there is another boi who is so happy to see him and willingly crouches just so mans can quite literally yeet himself on to the roof and break the window to save her. Not before giving some dramatic looks

A. Only her apartment was on fire, not the whole building, he could’ve easily taken the stairs. B. why was the fkn fire not spreading and C. It took him 3 seconds to get her out of that knot, so like as if she couldnt wriggle her hands out of it (maybe if she wasn’t wearing 300 chudiyas, she might’ve been able to) 

I would also thank the gods they gave him winter clothing with a high neck to wear (coz nothing is hotter to me than men in high neck sweaters - it highlights their jawlines, shows off their muscles and shows how long their neck is) #FashionTipsWithAustralianDesi 

OMG IT WAS A SCENE FOR A MOVIE OR SOMETHING OMG. OKAY YOU WIN FKN HELL. HINDI SERIALS: 1, AUSTRALIAN DESI: 29043284 

Look how adorable he looks

“Production? sorry mera naam actually  woh Neelkanth Bhatt Dhyani hai aur main baju-waale hotel mein chef hoon, mujhe laga tha aag lagi thi toh bachane aa gaya” 

Hahahah, noice mans is a chef. Also his name is longer than my life. And so far, in the 3 minutes I’ve watched of him, I really like him. Let’s hope he stays that way

Let’s be real, I watched the promos, I’m going to savour whatever niceness we get of him 

Okay so dude that looked at him, is the Pushkar/Rudra/Insert-comedic relief-younger-sibling, and basically said that our mans here is on a mission to save a girl every day. Wow what a hobby 

“Aag, Aag, continue, aag, aag, aag, continue” hahahah he’s slowly backing out of there 

Mans wants to do one good deed everyday - that’s a rare quality for a tellywood man (he does it because his sister does one good deed a day for his wellbeing - I don’t understand the logic but whatever)

OH MY FKN GOD WE HAVE AN ANJALI 

She’s made a fkn shrine for him (absolutely love the pictures though) 

And he calls his sister ‘Bhags’ - short for Bhagwan because she is god for him

I think these two could give Arnav-Anjali a run for their money 

...And she’s preggers - and so he doesn’t want her pregnancy to have any complications so he’s going to do one good deed a day

let’s see how shit blows in their face - is it a kamina husband, a manipulative mother or a cunning father 

Also gotta love how her husband is probably chilling while Neel is all like ‘MY DIDI’ 

No one: 

No one:

Not even Neil’s fkn mother 

Saraswati: NEIL IS COMING AFTER 3 MONTHS EVERYTHING MUST BE PERFECT 

Welcome Saraswati Anjali 

This man is completely evil. Change my mind. 

So they went with the Kamina husband/brother-in-law 

Who has a problem that Neel is a chef. But let’s be real he wants Neel to be a chef so he could become the head priest 

I AM ONTO YOU. THIS ISN’T MY FIRST RODEO 

And she’s just here to talk about the successes and accomplishments of her brother, because like Anjali, she has nothing better to do in life 

Whatever her husband says goes right over my head, also it’s Saras-Wati not Sarasti 

So proud of his Personal Protective Equipment. Thank god a career being shown properly

Also this looks really small and homely for an industrial kitchen 

So the ‘villain’ of his life is here. Little does he know, that whether he keeps his job or not does not matter, all that matters is that his rakhi is never removed. 

“Main apni behen ko bhool nahi sakta, isliye yeh rakhi agle raksha bhandhan tak, nahi utregi” ummm how bad is your memory that you forget your sister unless there’s a rakhi on your wrist???? 

“Mere kitchen mein yeh sab bilkul allowed nahi hai, no rings, no watches, aur yeh tacky rakhi toh bilkul nahi, afterall hygeine har cook ki responsibility hoti hai” 

“Yeh rakhi toh na utregi sir,” “acha toh phir yeh jo haath mein hai, woh meri kitchen mein khaana nahi bana sakte hai” 

Wow he didn’t have to call the rakhi tacky. Also like, couldn’t you have a dimaag like Arnav, and keep them in a little box, and then show your sister like “look I kept all your rakhis” 

Now watch him cook with one hand, just to prove a point 

TOLD YA 

Also the dude seemed pretty happy with him, I would’ve been like “banda chuthiya ho gaya hai” 

Also his friend is really annoying me with his overreactions to simple things 

He’s saying that he’s going to make the Singoria for the ‘bhakts’ and not for his dad, coz he doesn’t think he needs to ask for an apology to follow his heart 

I enjoy this content, I like this boi. At least he stands by his actions

“Shaakal ko khush karne ke liye jijaji kaafi hai” Wow the Shyam vibes from his jijaji are through the roof 

He said that line like he’s plotting murder or something with the fire reflected on his face

Also can they stop with the Kedarnath soundtrack 

Lol this procession is still going on, it’s been going on for like 3 days. Like, in the time Neel did his wall climbing stunt, saved a woman who was ‘on fire’, stopped a film shoot, told his whole life story and his love obsession for his sister, went through an inspection and made food for a whole restaurant while sassing his boss, and the procession is still going on

 Omg no, now there’s a fkn murgi - WHICH IS ALIVE HOW IS THIS A PROBLEM, JUST MOVE IT AND CONTINUE WALKING 

I mean making him slip would’ve been more fun than a fkn murgi stopping him - also its alive so how is this an apshagun? Imma skip this I cannot 

NOW FKN FAKE ANJALI IS LIKE “the chicken is a mother, do not touch her eggs, she will not look after her children and then they will never be able to feel the mother-child love” 

Gurl, its a chicken. Chill. If it had this much feeling, it would not let go of it’s child 

Okay, here’s a wild thought - why not just walk around it

The chicken isn’t even taking over the whole step, if everyone walks in a single file, you should be able to pass the chicken

but if we use our brains how will this be a hindi serial 

Man fkn hell this the problem in India, the fkn mindset that “dharm se badke aur kuch nahi hai” is2g if people move away from that thought, life would be easier

Also Sarasti is just here caressing her belly, being all like motherhood is the biggest dharm #OhSnap #MicDrop 

So Vyasji has said his first lines of the show and basically whatever I’m understanding is that dharm should be a part of your life, not your whole life and disregarding emotions for your dharm is in fact the opposite of dharm. Wow the man has some sense. Also the actor looks done and does not seem into it - I do not blame him one bit 

And fake Anjali is all like “yay papa is on my side - fuck you husband” 

NEEL YOU FKN IDIOT, IT’S JUST A BAG COULDN’T YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU, NOW THE SANGORIA ARE GONNA GET MISPLACED I ALREADY KNOW. 

ab yeh kaun hai, jo Dhoom ke set se yahan aa gaya 

and he took the wrong bag - well done Neel, that’s all on you

OMG AT LEAST HE REALISED THANK GOD 

Great, now he’s gonna do some Dhoom-esque stunts 

How dumb is the other dude, like there’s someone that’s literally chasing you and you aren’t going to stop to ask them why

Omg he’s actually grabbing it. Is2g if the prasad is completely fine still, Imma flip 

Yeh chal kya raha hai? Is the other dude literally fighting for the supposed kachoris? 

Oh wow its a wamen. And here we begin the #Romance  

HE LITERALLY JUST SAW HER HAIR AND IS SMITTEN - ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE MY FRIEND 

Lovely, he got distracted and she’s gone off with his Sangoria 

Ofcourse he’s like a girl tricked me, now it’s an ego thing. At least he’s admitting it to be an ego ting 

But also like dude do you not believe women can be cunning? I mean we’re literally known for possessing that single trait 

Wow look how happy she is for some Sangoria - and look how dumb she is for not questioning the dude that was chasing her as to why was he after the bag 

OF-FUCKING-COURSE she had to be a social worker who helps the gareeb bachche 

I gotta love how she’s like, why is there mithai here instead of kachoris - proceeds to eat them because the kids were like we like mithai

Behen, kya aap kisi ka bhi khaana leke kha leti ho? 

Like why wouldn’t you put two and two together 

Why would someone be ready to fight you for this mithai. Do you have any logical thinking skills? 

Me when I check my results. The absolute shock horror on his face is sending me 

"Tum pahadi ho?” “Haan aur sharminda bhi” “Itni der se tumhara peecha kar raha tha, tab nahi samajh aaya?” “Nahin mujhe laga koi chor badmaash hai,” 

Love the logic, love that she was so ashamed that she didn’t bother to give his mithai back - what is this character 

She’s literally telling him how to handle his father that she’s never met. 

Dude if it was that easy, would he be this stressed? 

That was quick - she had video evidence that some gunde were making these kids become beggars, and got them arrested while also making Neel feel like he did his one good deed today and she conveniently has her own childcare 

Wow we have an evil maami too, and some random man wanting to kill our gurl

She’s basically saying how Neel will definitely forget to bring the bhog 

Little does she know he won’t forget, he’ll just have some misfortune which will cause him to not bring it

Now poor Sarasti is bringing her dad a shawl and convincing him to go change, but him being the brown dad he is, is all like “If only your idiotic brother was here, I would be sitting on the terrace watching this pooja, looking at him proudly, but he is a nalaayak and alas I am here,” 

He’s literally so salty that he wants to cook, it’s so funny, I can’t 

First of all, why is everyone just taunting Sarasti about her brother’s actions, like I get how close they are but they aren’t the same person??

Now she’s saying that he’s on his way - ah little does she know, he’s distracted by a wamen 

Omg he’s literally telling the story of the Prayag Pushp (a flower I think) “that only blooms when 2 true lovers meet for the first time, and no one has seen it bloom, and no one will see it bloom in this family, and with the same confidence, I am telling you your bhola will not come” wow the amount of trust in your son. I am loving it

Also like who wants to bet the flower is going to bloom when he marries this girl or when they have a dramatic meet up 

“Hey bhole baba, agli baar mujhe uss theeki shezwan sauce se mat milwana” Lol is he dumb or is he dumb 

OMG GOD IN THIS SERIAL IS EXTREMELY FAST. HE PRAYED 2 SECONDS BEFORE AND IN THE NEXT SECOND SHE’S IN FRONT OF HIM

She’s deaf as well, he’s literally calling her and she’s like nope, I am looking outside can only focus on one thing at a time 

“Bache hai kya, joh window seat ke liye itne excited ho rahe hai” “Sifaljiya kahi ka” Okay I’m loving the banter but also have no idea what she just called him 

“Kya kaha tumne? Kaunsi bhasha mein gaali di?” “Mars pe boli jaati hai yeh zubaan, gaye ho kabhi?” 

People I ship it! 

“Lokhar ka sir hai kya tumhaara?” This idiot 

Oh good its these ainvayi ke gunde, mans is never going to reach home in this decade  

And they’re on the bus to beat her? Very normal

And ofcourse this our mans’ good deed of the day

“Kya ho gaya bhai ji? Koi takleef?” Love this man so much. The sass and the politeness how does he do it? 

“Teri saki lagti hai kya?” “Meri patni hai yeh” wow man, like honestly dost bol deta, behen bol deta. Nahi she is now my wife for rescuing purposes (what an Omkara thing to do) 

OMG YES THEIR BACKGROUND SCORE IS KURBAAN HUA FROM KURBAAN - I LOVE THAT SONG 

So the episode ends here and wow this took so long to do coz they decided to make the episode 40 minutes long. So far I like it. I just wish the girl becomes smarter (also what even is her name?)

A/N: ill be switching between pov’s this time, hopefully these get better and not down to shit lol

Sweet Harvey

harvey kinkle

"Damn Y/N, you really have to test my patience right now. I told you, I’m just gonna work at the mines. I don’t care what I’m going through!", I spat. I was annoyed, confused, and just plain out hurt because this is the last thing I planned on doing after Tommy passed.

It’s been a month since Tommy’s incident, I’ve been frustrated and really down since. I’ve had to stray away from Sabrina, Roz, Theo, and even though I didn’t keep my distance from Y/N, I knew I could potentially be hurting her with my actions. I didn’t wanna hurt her that way.

"Harvey, please, hear me out. Me, Sab, Roz, and Theo agree that you need to slow down and just grieve. I know it hurts baby but please just-", she started till I cut her off.

"Would you shut the hell up about what you and the others think? I don’t wanna work in the mines, but I feel the need to, for Tommy. If you can’t support that, why don’t you just fuck off. Go with the others and throw a stupid little pity party. I’m over you!", I yelled, my voice high, and my breath shaky. I looked up to see Y/N with glazed eyes.

Suddenly, a pool of hurt and regret washed over me. I can’t believe I was the asshole to yell at her. Her past was nothing but shitty and I didn’t even think of that, instead, I just made her feel like total ass.

y/n

I was hurt, immensely hurt. The sweet Harvey I’ve grown to know and love, was gone. I stood there breathless, no words, just shaking, and tears painting my eyes.

“Baby, I’m so sorry-", Harvey began, but I had to cut him off, it didn’t feel right to let him continue. If I had no sanity, I’d run out.

"You’re not sorry, Harvey. Just go to the mines.", I coldly stated. I turned and left to go upstairs to my room, our room, the room me and Harvey once shared.

I face planted the bed, and sobbed silently. I could be labeled as "sensitive" but Harvey is one of the sweetest human beings alive. I’ve been with him for over 2 years, he doesn’t get like this. But it hurts so bad when he does.

harvey kinkle

"You’re not sorry, Harvey." ran through my head like wildfire. I was in fact, so sorry. I never wanted to hurt her, and now, the mines just didn’t seem important. How dumb could I possibly be to assume that Tommy would’ve wanted this, he never did. Now, I’m making a fool of myself.

I walked up the stairs, to me and Y/N’s bedroom. I hated fighting with her, although it wasn’t often, I’ve never been this bad with her. She doesn’t deserve that.

I walked in to see her cuddled up into the bed, crying silently, and I could tell I hurt her badly.

"Y/N, hear me out please. I’m sorry, I really am. What I said was wrong, I wasn’t thinking. I’ve just.. been struggling since Tommy. I miss him so much, and I thought being in the mines would help me forget about how much I did. Please, I wanna grieve now, I just need you to be here with me. You and our friends are amazing people, especially you babe. Please, don’t listen to my dumb ass, just listen now, to your sweet Harvey.", I said, laying beside her and pulling her into my arms.

She cried silently into my chest, and as she did, I rubbed her back. I knew she was stressed, and I added onto her plate by acting up. But when I hold her, especially after hurting her, it makes me feel like I deserve nothing in this world.

She finally settled down enough to look at me, although her face was puffy, her eyes were still beautiful to me.

"I want to forgive you, Harvey, I really do. But, how do I know you meant what you said?", she questioned, sniffles following. I smiled and pullled her into a kiss, our lips in full sync with eachother, like they’ve always been.

We both pulled away softly, grinning at each other for the moment we just shared.

"Does that help a bit?", I asked, nervous for her response. She looked at me sternly, and my face fell from the grin we both had.

"Of course I do, Kinkle. Please, think before you say things. I don’t wanna argue with you, I just wanna be here for you.", Y/N finally spoke. I looked up to see that amazing smile of hers. I couldn’t help but smile big and wide.

"Well then, I don’t wanna be at the mines, so cuddling with you seems a lot better.", I suggested, pulling her into my body. She smiled and wrapped her arms under my shirt.

"Then let’s cuddle, and just grieve together, one step at a time.", she responded, laying her head on my chest.

I couldn’t help but smile again, because these are the moments I truthfully admire the most.

Oh, Darling Bride!

Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVnbojCYPxU and my sister who sat on the ‘mayoon’ chair and literally received a proposal in the next few months.

Summary: Liam attends a typical South Asian wedding function with his boyfriend, when suddenly things take a turn for wtf-ville. (Read on AO3)

Also, just want to say a big thank you to all those who read/reblogged my prev fic. The amazing responses spurred me on to write some more :)

"Aaye laariye ni tera sehreya wala wyaanwan ayaa"

Laughter surrounded Liam; rich, hefty belly laughs and delicate, feminine giggles reached his ears as he turned around to face the party that was in full swing at the moment.

A soft drink in his hand and clad in a slightly stiff, but beautifully embroidered sherwani-

("Thank you, Trisha, I mean I can't believe you gave me-" "Oh quiet, babe, you'll look perfect in this anyway and it doesn't even fit Zayn...")

-Liam adjusted the vibrant yellow scarf around his neck when he felt warm, supple fingers meet his hand. He stood still, a smile sneaking its way onto his flushed face, as Zayn adjusted his scarf for him, gentle and slow, taking his time to make it lay perfect around him.

"Thanks, babe, I never know how to wear this," Liam muttered, turning to face his boyfriend. Ah, his boyfriend. The best gift given to him. He had even taken the time to thank Trisha once, fully enjoying her delightful laughter as Zayn stood behind her scowling prettily at him. Right now, he looked divine in a charcoal black kameez, as Zayn had called it, and a yellow scarf matching the one Liam wore. His hair, grown out and curling slightly behind his ears, was swept back carelessly; a fact Liam appreciated terribly as he was blessed with the view of Zayn running his long, delicate fingers through his hair every few minutes to adjust it.

God, he was awfully pretty. And had the most gentle and sensitive soul. How was he so lucky to deserve him?

His train of thought screeched to a stop with a gentle nudge from Zayn who was looking at him with inquisitive eyes, tongue curling around a small smile directed at him.

"You okay, babe?" he inquired gently, silently worried that this party was proving too much for Liam. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with Zayn's family?

Liam shrugged his worry off quickly, he was being a literal party pooper, standing in the corner of the Maliks' living room, making eyes at their son and being contemplative on a day of celebration.

It was Zayn's cousin's wedding. Or rather one of the several functions to follow before the actual wedding day. "Asians" Zayn had remarked at Liam when asked, and apparently that was answer enough.

"Asians, specifically South Asians, tend to have really big families, love, we tend to show our love and celebration through parties and ceremonies such as these. Worry not, you'll fit right in," Trisha had filled him in with the necessary information after he had huffed at Zayn for the lack thereof. He had nodded knowingly, though still quite confused, but determined to stick through it.

And here he was. A Pakistani folk song played through the speakers set up at the back of the room, which was decked out in yellows and golds and gentle greens ("Colours usually associated with mayoon," a cousin of Zayn's had informed him). There was a circle of little girls, dressed in beautiful yellow and green dresses, dancing around and giggling uncontrollably. The adults around them were spurring them on with enthusiastic, rhythmic clapping. It was a beautiful scene, one Liam wouldn't forget any time soon.

He turned back to Zayn," I was just wondering, though, you never told me why everyone, including us, is wearing yellow? Even your cousin, the bride is? What's the deal with that?"

"Well, that's what mayoon is, really, it's just this ceremony where the bride is supposed to wear yellow and have her hands covered in mehendi and her family will sit around her and sing songs and just be festive, I guess," Zayn shrugged as he talked, hoping to inculcate more of his culture into Liam. He moved in closer to Liam and touched his lips to his ear. Liam shivered and leaned in to hear.

"C'mon, I wanna do something fun, follow me," he whispered in his ear and held out his hand. Liam raised his eyebrows at him. This was not the time for that.

Zayn rolled his eyes at him. "Don't be a pervert, babe, I didn't mean it like that, just come with me, c'mon now," he dragged Liam towards the busy party, people flocking about on the dance floor, a pair of cushioned armchairs set up festively, draped in soft yellow and gold tulle. The bride and groom were off their thrones for the moment, busy socializing and talking to all their guests.

Zayn dropped heavily onto one of the two chairs, limbs askew and rested his head on the padded back. He signaled Liam to do the same who was a bit cautious, looking around to locate the bride and groom, checking to see if maybe he was being rude taking their seats? Slowly, when no one turned around to glare at him, he lowered himself onto the armchair with a quiet sigh, although judging by Zayn's answering grin, he may have been too loud. Oh well, he was tired, standing around for so long would do that to you.

He was so relaxed that he never noticed Zayn's sister, Doniya, sneaking up on the two of them, and it wasn't long before she stood towering over them, eye lashes fluttering prettily as she grinned at Liam. "You comfortable, then?" she asked Liam, a mischievous grin etched on her familiar features.

Liam stiffened slightly, preparing his body to get up quickly off the armchair, oh great you've gone and done something wrong you knob, before Zayn was pushing him back down with his hand. "No, meri jaan, keep sitting, it's no problem, Doni's being a dick," he pushed Liam down so he was perched precariously once again on the chair, this time a lot more aware of the people starting to taking note around him.

"Yeah, meri jaan, keep sitting," Doniya giggled at the pair. Liam flushed at the use of endearment in such a sarcastic tone that he missed Zayn's glare at his sister.

She rolled her eyes,"Ya Allah, Zayn's jaan I mean," Liam felt like he should maybe melt into a liquid that could escape through the tiled floor below his feet. Zayn, the bastard, grinned satisfactorily up at her.

Doniya turned to leave, shaking her head exasperatedly at Zayn, singing along with the song playing "Oh, Jeeja!", a line that apparently shocks a reaction out of her brother, who practically breaks his neck to frown at her. She giggles and speed walks away, leaving Liam thoroughly confused at his boyfriend's reaction.

Across the room, Yaser turned around and noticed the two of them sat there. A deep, resounding laughter came from him as he noticed his son and his boyfriend, and nudged his wife and his friends who took notice too.

Giggles and snickers were heard all around, as the group made their way towards them, Zayn's father leading the way.

Liam's eyes widened at the sight of the fast approaching group and shoved an elbow into Zayn's side, perhaps a little too forcefully, if the hiss and groan from his boyfriend was to be heard. Liam didn't care, oh no, he very much would like to get the shite out of there. This can't be good, he thought as Yaser opened his mouth to talk.

"Ah, beta, sab theek thaak?", he directed his question in Urdu at his son, a wide grin on his face. Zayn stared up stonily at his father, a careful mask of expression on his face, before replying with,"Han, kyun nai? sab theek hai," ending his sentence with a careless shrug.

Liam narrowed his eyes at him, his boyfriend was acting suspicious, not to mention speaking in Urdu, a fact that he avoids doing so since Liam always feels left out.

Then, came a sentence that he never expected to hear out of his boyfriend's father's mouth,"Didn't know you were in such a hurry to be married, beta, that's all."

Liam whipped his head towards Zayn, who had suddenly taken a great interest in his nail beds, yeah right.

All around him, people burst out laughing at his boyfriend which left Liam even more confused than when Yaser started speaking. He noticed Liam's predicament and decided to explain,"In mayoon, those who sit on the chairs of the bride or groom, tend to get proposals within the year. Call it an old wives' tale, but we do it for fun sometimes."

He ended his explanation and turned to his son, who was still immersed in the absolute inconceivable science that was the structure of his nails. Yaser's lips twitched at his son's behaviour, ullu ko kuch nai sikhaya maine, before turning back to his party and leading them away from his boys, they needed the privacy for the conversation that followed.

Liam sat in silent shock, mouth agape and staring at his boyfriend of 6 years. Zayn wanted to be proposed to? Zayn wanted to get married?

A huff escaped him and he caught Zayn's sheepish and embarrassed expression, eyes flickering up to meet his then abruptly flitting away. Liam reached out to take his hand, a warm clasp and a gentle squeeze coaxed those beautiful eyes to meet his. A tentative smile from Liam and his boyfriend gave in, rolling his eyes at his idiotic behaviour and the act he pulled, as he explain to his boyfriend.

"I didn't know how to tell you, honestly, I sorta thought you might do it sometime soon, you know, but it's just- I saw Kainat getting proposed to and accepting it and planning her wedding and all that, and I just- I dunno, I guess I wanted that for myself too..." he trailed off mumbling and mincing his words, but Liam got the message loud and clear.

"All you had to do was say, babe. I thought you weren't ready and I didn't wanna push you but I guess..." Liam silenced his rambling, focusing instead on keeping eye contact with his boyfriend.

"I love you, babe, I do," he murmured assertively, squeezing his boyfriend's hand," and there is nothing in this world that is going to stop me from marrying your petulant arse."

"You love this arse," Zayn mumbled childishly, though a smile was already on his face. Liam only wiggled his eyebrows knowingly at him, getting a melodic giggle from his boyfriend. Before he could lean in to kiss the stupid smile off his face, Liam was suddenly assaulted with a gaggle of Zayn's cousins, all shouting in shrill voices "Liam, Liam, Liam, listen to me!"

Zayn silently turned to glare at them and widened his eyes at them and the eldest of them all shrunk back at the ferocity of it with a small 'oh'.

Aimen, Liam thinks her name is, turns back to him and repeats her plea, this time adding something at the end. "Liam Bhai, listen to us, please!"

Something short-circuited inside his brain, momentarily causing him to lose focus on everything around him. All that was ringing in his ears was the shrill, childish voice calling him 'bhai', a name Walihya sometimes calls her brother when she tackles him in a hug when they visit, a fond 'bhai' from the mouth of Safaa when Zayn eats sloppily at the dinner table, Trisha giggling silently at the disgust her daughter shows for her son's horrible eating habits.

Slightly emotional, and maybe a little love-drunk, Liam turns to Aimen, directing his entire attention to her. "What is it, love?" he asks her, ignoring Zayn who is sporting the biggest, goofiest and most douche-y grin his boyfriend has ever seen on him.

He looked smug. Yeah, yeah, thought Liam as he let Aimen pull him away from the 'magic' chair and into the swarm of family members all huddled on the dance floor.

Translations: Aaye laariye ni tera sehreya wala wyaanwan ayaa" (O darling bride, your handsome bridegroom has come to wed you)

Mayoon is a Pakistani pre-wedding custom during which the bride dresses in yellow and sits in seclusion before her wedding day. Nowadays, mayoon is a festive ceremony, sometimes with the groom as well, where people dress up in yellow or green, gather in a congregation and have something to eat, dance and sing all night long.

Jeeja means brother-in-law

sab theek thaak means is everything alright? han kyun nai? sab theek means yeah why not? its all good ullo ko kuch nai sikhaya maine means I haven't taught this idiot anything

Bhai means brother (used to refer to brothers older than you).

So Atar Matar Aryan was out of the closet with Veer's trick! He was bought to tarnish the image of Oberois but the situation was handled well by them in Rudra and Bhavya's Gift Ceremony. However there were two people absolutely anxious tonight. One for holding the secret and the other for being kept in dark about the same.It hurt more because there was a vow taken in their relationship that whatever life threw at them they would tell each other and handle it together. But each time one of them would forget this rule in the relationship n surge ahead in danger annoying the better half. Anika being at the recieveing end everytime knew how it felt n thus today keeping Shivaay in dark wasnt happy about the same.Especially when past an hour he hadn't looked in her direction.  Will Anika be able to explain and justify her act of hiding Aryan? Will Shivaay understand Anika's decision for keeping him in dark? Thwisha16 When the gift ball opened, Atar Matar Aryan fell right into Rudra's lap. Everybody around looked baffled & surprised. Shivaay looked at Anika and one glance at her he knew that this is what she was hiding for the reasons best known to her. But currently that was not important. They had to deal with the mess at present thus Shivaay took matters in his hand before Veer could call Media. He kept the party going much to Veer's annoyance. Thus, Saumya and Veer left the party to hatch their big plan of bride swap day after tomorrow.  An hour went by interacting with the guests and despite of the continuous efforts to make him see in her direction she was royally ignored by her husband. Generally in their relationship he has been the one always hiding things for their benefit. But whatever benefit it had she always felt the other person has the right to know. So today after hiding Aryan from him despite of him seeing the boy in the kitchen the other day she felt bad of what she chose to do.  To lighten the atmostphere at Rudra's Gift ceremony, Pinky came forward and gave Bhavya hand in Rudra's and urged them to dance. Following them other couples took centre stage too. While Om reached out to Gauri asking her for the dance, Shivaay moved out of the circle pretending to interact with more guests. Anika understanding the non chalant behaviour, walked right to him and in front of other guest asked for a dance. Unable to ignore his wife anymore they walked to the dance floor since when a wife asks, a man must listen.  Lights dimmed creating the right atmostphere and a song played in the background Baatein teri karte huyeThak ke so jaati hoonSirhaane aasmaan I sleep under the sky tired, speaking about you. As their feet moved in tandem to the song Anika conveyed in her thoughts, I wanted to tell you thing under the open starlit sky, but I chose not to. Defying him when he asked in the kitchen about Aryan, she chose not to say anything coz she wanted to take matters in her own hands n not burden him. But not she is tired and and under the star lit sky wants to fall asleep in his arms.  Jaane kahan mud jaati haiDekhte dekhte tujhe ye galiyaanTeri tarah khushboo chaleTaare humari tarah raaton se mile I look at you but the curves of the road make you vanish from my sight. I feel your fragrance in the air, when I see the stars meet like us in the darkness of night. Looking into his eyes holding onto his shoulders a little more tightly she conveys the curves that this journey is taking I feared losing the sight of you & I didn't want to burden you with the truth.Taking in his unique fragrance she nuzzles in his ears making him understand her position. Suni nahiZamaane ne teri meri kahaniyaanKarde koiNawashein karam meharbaaniyaan The world didn't listen to our story. Please someone have mercy upon us and do kindness.  Not giving in just yet and not letting her torture him anymore with her closeness he twirls her facing her back. Adamant she tells him I know the world doesn't understand me but I faith in you. She twirls back hand still in his hand she nudges him to look into her eyes and despite of all the planning and plotting to convey there is still hope. Once again facing him joining their foreheads all the time dancing to the rhythm she prays to the god for its mercy upon them and grant their wish.Ye aarzoo thi ke dekhein yeh duniyaHum jaisa koi deewana hi nahiKarde koiNawashein karam meharbaaniyaanWe had desired that the world would see upon us and think that there no one as loving as we are. Please someone have mercy upon us and shower kindness upon us.Now resting on him with hands on his heart dancing to the last bits of the rhythm she she feels sorry for keeping him in dark and prays to god to show mercy and and kindness to get them out of this situation.  Before Shivaay could keep his hands on his the music stops and he has broken out of their reverie and thus moves away from her towards the guests.  After some time the party gets over it's decided that Aryan will sleep with Rudra tonight. After making Aryan sleep in his room everybody retire to their respective rooms. As Anika travels the corridor sad that Shivaay has still not heard her out and she needs some time to explain him things he sees her walking ahead of him loosening his bow tie. She calls out for him but he doesn't seem in a mood to listen. Determined that she needs to speak to him, she takes faster steps and reaches the room before him, " Atleast hear me out, I had my reasons. Didn't you tell me you will wait till  I come and tell you. " Ignoring all that he goes to change. Anika closing the door behind waits for him to come out. He enters the room post the change and is about to retire to bed when she holds him from behind.  A: "itni narazgi ki ab baat bhi nahi karenge mujhse? S: " ab kyun baat karni hai, jab pani sar ke upar ja chukka hai. I told you that I was worried seeing you worried. I asked you what was bothering you. But you chose not to say. So why should I hear you out now? A: " Shivaay I didn't want to burden you with things since you were already prepalexed with veer antics. S:  "Toh aur ab kya hua, burden toh ab bhi hai, par iss baat ka zyada afsos hai ki tumhe kuch bother kar raha tha but you chose not to share with me because I would get worried. Didn't I say I get worried when I see you worried? Is not involving me in the plan more important than burdening yourself? Chalo theek hai may be you thought I was incapable of solving it for you Or u wanted to solve it yourself. Theeke phir dikhao apni anekta mein ekta aur solve karo sab khud mil ke. Aage se mujhe kuch bhi batane ki zarurat nahi hai." Anika had tears in her eyes which ofcourse shivaay cudnt see. So he decided to sleep since they had bigger battles to fight tomorrow. He told Anika to sleep promising that they will talk tomorrow.  Early morning Anika got up looking for Shivaay, who was already up and sipping his saira bano with a newspaper. She greeted him with a good morning. Since he wanted he conversation to be on between them he replied politely, "There is nothing good about this morning. Get ready, Veer has called in the doctor for a DNA Test. Congratulations we need to get through this now. Saying this he went out of the room.  He needed some time alone to think what could be done. In an hour the doc would be coming for a DNA test which ofcourse would be false. After rattling his brains which seems to stop working without Anika by his side, he made a few calls regarding the situation and waited patiently for the some visitors. Now he was getting tired of Veer's stupid games and wanted to tackle him head on. And currently his tiff with Anika would have made him punch Veer harder! Finally Aryan's real parents walked in to take him back and in one swift move he had checkmated Veer and Saumya who now panicked as Rudra wedding got preponed and was to take place tomorrow.   By the time everything got over it was night and after dinner with the marriage being preponed everybody retired to bed early. Since tommrow would be a long day! Anika had waited whole day patiently to talk to him and now was her time. She decided she will no longer take his silence and thus barged in the room where Shivaay was sitting sipping his saira bano trying to calm his nerves down with the laptop to give him company. She closed the door behind her and pulled in the curtains.  Shivaay sensing the upcoming drama told her, "Anika I m in no mood for anything like this" A: "But I m in the mood for everything like this. Kabhi kabar aapko meri bhi sun leni chaiye. S: Baffled by her accusation, "Tum toh aise bol rahi ho jaise ki main tumhari sunta hi nahi hun. Walk back down your memory lane n try to remember how many times I came n asked you, "Is there any problem? Par nahi kisi ko toh jhansi ki rani banna hai. Sab kuch khud se karna hai and ab toh ekta bhi hai with both the daughter in laws joining you. Shivaay jaye bhaad mein, nahi?" She tried hugging him to calm him down, but he gestured not to be near him.  A: Surprised with his gesture, she conveyed, "Shivaay, abhi zyada ho raha hai. S: "Zyada? Abhi toh kuch hua hi kahan hai? jab main kuch chupaun toh mere peeche pad pad ke u want to know everything. When I want space to think u don't even let me think over it giving me a big lecture on our so called Vows. Par jab tum chupao toh nari Shakti zindabad!Isnt this wrong?.  A: "I just wanted to be sure who was behind Aryan. S: "Whats there to be sure about? You  all were sure it isn't ours. So isn't it obvious someone planned it. And who can plan it other than veer? He repeated in Anika's language the *Logic* gesture.  Anika wanted to smile in this serious situation but controlled herself as she saw Shivaay was in full mood to act like her and rant his heart out, because he felt bad that she didn't include him in the plan. So silently she heard him out.  S: Continuing, "I thought we are a team first, Anika. I thought when a problem arises and you need a place to go to, I will be your hiding place. But no u want to depict nari Shakti these days toh theeke go and get yourself empowered, leave me alone!  With that he tried moving out of the room but all he heard was *splash*!By the time Shivaay struggled to get out of water Anika was in. Holding him close she wrapped his hand around her and he asked, "And what do u think you are doing? A: "Are you trying to behave like me, giving me dose of my own medicine? Shivaay laughing in his mind, controlled himself not letting go of the act said, "Havent I had enuf drama in my life that I add more by doing all this! A: "Well u weren't listening to me and moved out so this was the only way I could put water on your plans of running away from me without my permission.  Shivaay raised his eyebrows on "Your Permission? I see! Cutting the long story short, when he turned away from her, she made him look at her and said, "I'm sorry Shivaay, infact I'm very very sorry, yeh dobara nahi hoga.  S: With that kind of plea from his doe eyed wife he couldn't resist, "That's all you want to say?  A: "Yes, that's all I want to SAY that it won't be repeated again. With some mischief in her eyes, she added "But if You want I can DO a lot many things for You. Shivaay understanding the underlined statement, smiled "Acha ji! But for that we will have to get out of the water first. Anika nodded and together they started to walk out of water before she held by his collar, "Somebody said he wants SPACE in this relationship, well I can give YOU some if u want.  Taking in the sarcasm, he held her close with their bodies colliding right into each other touching at the right places, "In our relationship, not even a inch of space I want. And he sealed his thought with a deep kiss retiring for the night with absolutely no spaces in between them. Also each tasting their own medicine at respective time intervals, made mental note to not hide anything from one other and be each other's hiding place whenever the need arises.

Snowfall, Heavy Snowfall as we were trudging up towards Tungnath.

We were able to walk as it was fresh snow but what do you do about the freezing temperature and body going numb?

It was a paradox really. On one hand was this breathtaking landscape around us.Spectacular and I mean truly spectacular views and on the other hand was us getting tired, snowfall everywhere and snow inside our gear.

We were late.. This we knew.

Just reaching up till Tungnath was a hard task. The weather was not helping as we were heaving, panting, oxygen levels were low, unbearable cold, wet all over and the temple was not in sight.

Through it all, Devang was motivating us. No shouting, no frustration nothing, just saying Shabash Shabash, you guys are doing a great job and the others in between standing and smiling and making us move on..

In between I saw Manojji, and he smiled and said, aap sab logon ne barf maanga to dekho kya hua (You all asked for snow and look what happened) ! 🙂

At one point, I thought we were reaching Tungnath, but it was abandoned small homes, almost like a small village. It was closed and locked up during winter season. It would reopen for the summer when devotees would visit Tungnath temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world.

But right now, not a soul in sight except us..

As I was trying very hard not to think of the possibility of getting injured, breathless and get panicky, I heard a chant.. Yes a Chant..

I saw Krishanu the older gentleman who was by now almost down and out. He was tired, looked defeated and someone holding his arm tight and supporting him and walking. It was Kishore..

Like a warrior he was walking at a pace Krishanu could handle, supporting him with his hand around him and chanting Shiva Mantras.

You have no idea what went over me then. It made me stronger as I followed them , behind them as I took in the mantras. It was calming me down, making me feel better and that sight where I saw Krishanu head down holding on to him for dear life and Kishore forging ahead..

I thought of my father and how it all made so much sense to me..

My surname, my father’s name Gangadharan (Shiva). For years I avoided Himalayas, I brushed it away. I didn’t want to face it, didn’t want to face the pain.His last wish was to visit holy temples with me and one of them was the Himalayas, Kedarnath.

I was extremely close to my father, knew him as this silent strong man who gave me everything and more and what I am today, my beliefs on life, on people was solely due to him. I missed him so much.

I was crying big and I mean big.. When we stopped at this small shelter just before Tungnath, I went over to the only person who could understand.

I ran to Pankaj and hugged him crying loud.. He only said, Yes this happens, you are confronting something very strong so let it go, cry it out, don’t hide..

It was a cleansing and I had to experience this in the holy of holiest mountains…

As we moved ahead from there, we finally saw the temple.

Yes, Finally Tungnath! As we saw the dome and the gate, the entrance completely covered with snow. It was ethereal, it was divine. I am sure most of us could feel that divine energy in our bones, our skin, our blood. No words can explain that moment best..

As we entered through the gate, those snow covered bells were rung by our group members. In that freezing cold, we were all together in this. Come Hail, Snow, storm I am with you Quote came to my mind. We were in it together.

The snowfall was strong and getting stronger. The temple was closed. No one. The area was deserted and totally covered by snow. We only had the verandah, the portico as a shelter. All 27 of us shivering and freezing literally.

We huddled together, used the techniques of keeping our arms under our armpits to keep warm, jumped up and down on the spot but nothing was really working.

Pankaj was giving dry fruits and passing it on as much as he could. We were totally numb,frozen and looking at the heavy snowfall. I remember Mayank shaking his head and saying this is it, I am not going up there, I can’t take this anymore.

I remember my toes stopped moving.. I was shit scared. Was it a frost bite? Snow got inside our clothes big time. My hands were aching like hell, an unbearable pain and I didn’t know what to do with this pain and it was so cold everywhere.

How will we climb the Summit??

I saw Devang and Venkat having an intense discussion. Then Devang finally saying Guys let’s wait for 15 minutes and see if the snow subsides, if it does then we do the summit. We can’t stay too long.

The snow didn’t look like it will subside at all though.

So within 5-7 minutes, Devang said Congratulations I am so proud of all of you. You made it to Tungnath! With those words, all of us knew the Chandrashila summit wouldn’t happen.

He said something significant, The Mountains won’t go anywhere guys. It’s too risky to do that today. We made it till here. Be proud of yourself.

He also asked who wants to do the summit and quite a number of them said YES!! but we had to do this as a TEAM, together. One for all, All for one. Period.

The snowfall was increasing and the decision to stay for 15 minutes changed to LET”S MOVE NOW!

And hindsight I feel that was a really wise decision. Because you had this group from different  age groups and levels and it was their responsibility to ensure EVERYONE were safe even at the point of irking certain people in the group.

I remember as we slowly started walking back, there was a mix of disappointment and all those emotions.A little bit later Bhim said, yes it’s disappointing but hey we got snow! Who would have ever expected that??

And it’s so true, beauty was everywhere, divinity was everywhere and it was not just inside the temple or at the summit. We focus so much on the destination that we forget the journey, the moments.

And this journey was showing us all.. To be in the moment, to be right HERE, to not focus on the past or the future, LOOK AROUND YOU, it was screaming at us!

As we were walking back, I was chatting a bit with Bhupinder and at one point he said stop here and look back.. I turned and what I saw was one of the most awesome views I will see for a long time.. There we saw the Chandrashila Summit covered by the snow storm looking out of this world.

So near and yet so far..

Life is like that, isn’t it? Some times certain things are unattainable and that’s the beauty of it.What you covet you might not get it but you will learn something else in that process and that itself is a new journey, a new path..

As we were walking back  we saw the Himalayan Monal bird! The national bird of Uttarakhand and seen very rarely!

Imagine how lucky we felt when we saw not one but a couple of them! A multi colored bird in that white snow standing out in it’s magnificence. There was nothing to be disappointed about anymore.

I looked back and I saw the ‘boys’ yes the boys Bunny & friends, Rudra and Bhim taking pics, selfies in that cold. I smiled big, life and it’s little pleasures.

As we started descending, slowly the groups disbanded, as in each one was in their own group, own zone, in two’s, solo, sometimes stopping and some walking ahead. The group by now had their own pace.

I could see some people way ahead of me while I was walking, it was also raining as we descended. Pouring rain as we were getting through the snow covered mountains and walking towards the plains.

Venkat and Bhupinder were walking with us and when they got a message from the walkie talkie, Bhupinder went back to be with some other group.

And I remember this throughout the descent. The team was all around. Pratap was upfront, Venkat here, Devang was the last with the group and Bhupinder in the middle.

All the time they were checking each other on walkie talkies, who is with whom? It happened all the time. Each team member knew where they were.

That’s when I asked Venkat, tell me honestly could we have made it to the summit? He said let me tell you the truth. It is difficult. Ascent maybe some of you but descent would have been very dangerous, fatal. We cannot risk that. We have to think of everyone.

It was true, being in this position as one who wants to trek we only think of ourselves, only the self, but they are responsible for everyone there and a collective call was made.

I clearly remember the voice from Sari Base Camp asking Venkat on the walkie talkie,so what happened as we descended. Venkat told the whole thing as it is. And he said Yes we made a call to descend, no summit trek. And I remember the voice that said, ‘Good Call. Keep it up Guys’.

The descent was getting better but my knees were getting hit hard again.Raining, slippery and a couple of times I almost slipped and if it wasn’t for Venkat, I would have fallen hard on my face. I truly am thankful for that.

I remember halting quite a number of times as my knees were giving up but we had to keep on going.

I realized Venkat is an introvert,a man of few words but if one pushes and prods or spends some time, he opens up a bit. He spoke about his love for mountains, how he got hooked onto it, about India Hikes and how he feels uncomfortable when he visits home even for a few days,he wants to get back to the mountains. He said that goes for all the trek leaders.

And it’s true! Imagine being in the mountains, in it’s pristine atmosphere, away from all the stuff we call civilization and when we get back to what we call home, it doesn’t feel like home anymore.. How can it?

I looked back and I could see the splinter groups, stopping by, taking in the scene and some just walking ahead.

It looked like forever as we started descending but what a landscape…

Every descent was showing something else around us. The rocks, the mountains, the steps as we looked back, what a journey it was…

I felt a tinge of sadness as I looked back and saw the snow capped mountains.We were going away from it as we were descending to the plains.Felt a stab in my heart like I am losing something precious.. Like I won’t get to see this again for quite some time.

We finally saw the steps and the bells at the entrance.. Yup the same bells we rung those early hours that day, everything seemed so different. I asked Venkat, did we come up the same way? Everything was so different and looked as if it changed.

Something deep shifted inside me. It was not that it looked different, I was different now, I CHANGED… A big shift inside me.

The world didn’t seem the same anymore. Only when one changes do they feel the change.

We stopped for Chai at the entrance waiting for the others to turn up. It was still raining, pouring and it was such a comfort to be in that Chai Dhaba.

I remember sitting close to the ‘Chulha’ – fire and warming my hands. Then we saw one of Bunny’s friends walking down, seeing us and stopping. He joined us. I think his name was Sandeep I am not sure but he was really quiet throughout the trek. Not saying one single word to the entire group.

So I was surprised when he started talking. A pleasant surprise. Maybe this is was him in this environment. Opening up with raw nature around you. He was smiling and speaking and I was like what?? Where was this person hiding all these days?

Maybe the mountains do that. Get that deep recess inside us out, yup the same one we keep avoiding or sometimes we are not even aware it exists.

It lies dormant as we are so caught up with our daily mundane routine, people, negativity, pressures of having to run and run and run and think this is only life and then this happens..

We were descending towards the campsite.. It was pouring rain as we saw our tents..

It was still morning, still the same tents there. But those 5-6 hours were like the journey of a lifetime.. We did something more than just trekking..

What a journey…

              So Near & Yet So Far….. Part IX Snowfall, Heavy Snowfall as we were trudging up towards Tungnath. We were able to walk as it was fresh snow but what do you do about the freezing temperature and body going numb?

[tellytantra]

I- Raman are you mad ,why do you let them humiliate you . R- arey chod na ,they are friends . I- arey friends hain to kya ,they are free to say anything ,why don't you answer them ever . R- arey they were just having fun . I- ohh ,for god sake man ,don't tell me that you don't know the difference between having fun and making fun . arey every individual are not same .sab pagal hotein hain ,koi gora hota and koi kaala , koi lamba hota hai ,koi chota ,koi mota hota hai ,koi patla ,koi sundar ,koi thoda kam sundar but that doesn't meant that people have rights to mock and humiliate anybody ,that to our own friend . R- you know ishita you are such a sweetheart ,kahne ko to abhi mera best friend hai but you always fight with him for me though he is your boyfriend . I- boyfriend hai to kya ,you are also my friend and I don't like this type of activities .arey you eat more to unka kya jaata hai , neighter you eat from their money nor into their tummy then why they always put eyes of your food . R- bas meri jhaansi ki raani ,kitna bolegi , chup ho ja warna your boyfriend will think that I have taken his girlfriend also . I- arey nahi . waise bhi aajkal he is behind that shagun . R- and you are so easy .don't you feel bad . I- nah ,I know he will come back to me . Like this they talked for some more and finally moved to their classrooms . These were ishita and Raman ,2nd year MBA students ,ishita is queen bee of college while Raman is a nerdy bit plum boy of institute.  Thats all for prologue.Enjoy reading and do respond ,will try to update it soonish . Writer: DivanRu Shot 1 Raman got ready for college and went to breakfast table ,he settled in his chair and asked"ma aaj naaste mein kya banaaya hai". T- tera favorite keema parathe . R- wow ma you are best .  Toshiji smiled and served him parathe's with sauce and pickles ,he started having it praising his mother ,he had four parathe and was asking for more when Mr bhalla spoke " bas karn Raman its breakfast time ,abhi lunch and dinner are left , that also you have to adjust in the same tummy ". Toshiji listen this and shouted " ye kya bhallaji ,you don't even let my puttar eat at peace ,hamesha uske khaane pe nazar lagaate rahtein hai ". Mr bhalla - no toshiji ,I m not eye on his food but don't you think now he should try to take care of his body ,in some days he will complete his MBA and had to join business . He should be fit na.  T- business our patle hone mein kya compatibility hai ,my puttar is intelligent and he will be better businessman than you ,samjhe aap.  Mr bhalla shook his head in disbelief and spoke " haan bhai ,I know non is better than your son ,I unnecessarily start argument with you two in morning". Saying so Mr bhalla got up from the dining table and started gathering his files to leave for his office . Raman too completed his breakfast and left for college . He was driving towards his college when he saw ishita standing on her stop but he didn't stopped and was still driving when she waved her hand and ran to him . He pressed the break in jiffy and shouted "do someone come like this in front ,marna hai kya ". She opened the door,settled in passenger seat and shouted " pagal hai kya , itni badi main dikhaai nahi de rahi kya ". R- I saw you but didn't stopped . I- why ? R- you go with abhi na ,I thought you are waiting for him . I- no re ,he is not going to college today. R- why ? I- he has to go somewhere with his father that's why . R- ohh . Talking like this they reached their college . He parked his car and both walked towards their group which consist of Romi & mihika , mihir & Rinky , Abhi & ishita and Raman . Boys were friends from many days while girls had joined their group because of their respective boyfriends . As Raman was bit plum and nerdy ,no girl want to be his girl beside being rich. At first he felt bad but now he is ok ,his friends too use to call him mote and fatty but now he is habituated with it and take it lightly.  Soon the classes started and all went to attend their class . It was in the mid of class when ishita heard a beep on her phone indicating that she has received a WhatsApp message ,she took her phone and opened it . It was from the new girl their group shagun. Though shagun was not in their class but she was rinky's friend and being a new girl ,Rinky introduced her into their group.All welcomed her wholeheartedly except ishita ,as she has noticed abhi  around shagun from the day they had met . They had some fight too but every time abhi make her understand saying she is misunderstanding them ,they are just friends and she being his girlfriend always get convinced to him .  Ishita made a dirty fave and spoke " is shagun ne mujhe kya bheja hai ". Saying so she opened the pic and got shocked ,seeing shagun and abhi pic together . Raman didn't noticed this as he was busy in the lecture ,ishita waited for the lecture to complete . After the lecture end ,she went out and called abhi ,only to know that he no more wanted to continue their relationship as he like shagun more ,. Today they went on date and he had proposed shsgun , she has also accepted his proposal and now they are couple while he is breaking up with ishita. She was shocked listening to this , she felt her legs giving up . Ishita sat on the grass while tears started flowing from her eyes , she wiped them again and again but they were unstoppable ,she folded her legs to her chest and broke into tears ,hiding her face there . After sometimes ,she was still sobbing when she felt a hold on her shoulder . She raised her face and saw it was Raman , he got surprised seeing her crying . He scooped her face in his hand and asked softly " hey ishu why are you crying baby ,kya hua ." Ishita hugged Raman and cried even more ,he asked again " ishita you are scaring me ,bol na kya hua . meri jhaansi ki raani , ,you always stood by me ,whenever I needed you .and you are not even sharing your problem ,bata na." I(still sobbing )- that idiot abhi broke with me ,he ditched me . R-(shocked )- kya . I- humm , he ditched me for that shagun ,they are on date and he lied to me . R- what are you saying yaar , how can he do that . I- usne kiya aisa ,I loved him ,I loved him truly with all my sincerity and he cheated me .  R- I always told you ,there is something fishy between them but you always trusted him madly ,ab dekh kya kiya us idiot ne . I- ab main kya karoon , I love him so much . R- arey pagal hai kya , he don't deserve you ,tu ek kaam mar ,you too try to forget him and try to concentrate on your studies . I- tere liye sab kuch kitna easy hai na ,because you don't have any girlfriend that's why . R- haan to mujhe in sab mein padna bhi nahi hai ,I m happy alone . you know earlier I too felt bad but when I see you people ,I feel good that I don't have any problem like this . Ishita hit him and spoke " you are so mean raman ,here I m sad and crying and you instead of consoling me talking like this ." R- then what should I do ,Maine tujhe  bola forget him but you want to cry for him . what else I should do . I- at least console me , pamper me ,ice cream to kam se kam khila de . R- that I can do ,even I had a nice plan if you want that cheater back .but I will suggest you to let him go. . I- tu bol . R- kyaaa? I- idea ,I want him back ,I love him so much . R- you too don't go behind him ,try to ignore him which will be against his expectation . if you want you can flirt with some nice guy ,fir dekhna he will come back to you ,out of jealously . He must be thinking that you will be crying and will beg in front of him but you do vice versa ,he will surely come back to you. . I- that sounds nice but who will pretend with me . if I will flirt with anyone ,he will start expecting and I don't want to hurt anyone ,main us shagun aur abhi ki tarah nahi hoon . R- then leave this idea ,just be careless. tu ek kaam kar ,you spend much time with me , we will not take advantage of each other and as I know you are pretending main hurt bhi nahi hounga . I- that sounds nice .   Saying so they planned everything and decided to ignore and make abhi jealous . Shot 2 Next morning as decided ,Raman went to ishita's house to pick her and both reached the college . Ishita got down and waited for Raman to park the car . Soon he was done ,both reached to their group soon where romika and minky were standing along with abhi and shagun . Ishita stopped on their sight ,Raman noticed it ,he held ishita's hand and spoke slowly " ishita yaad hai na ,humne kya decide kiya hai ". I- Raman mujhse nahi hoga ,main ja kar ke us shagun ka muh todh doongi abhi ,how shamelessly she is laughing at me . R- why only shagun ,won't you tell anything about your abhi . I- use to main maar hi daalungi ,but I can't pretend . main abhi jaa kar use batati hoon . R- to mat kar na ,rather try to forget this cheater abhi. see him ,he don't have a bit of guilt on his face aur tu mari jaa rahi hai us cheater ke liye . and what you will end whom you will teach ,see your abhi's hands ,how protectively, he is holding shagun as if someone will take her away . I- aise mat bol na Raman , I actually love him yaar ,you know I didn't even slept whole night . R- to kya kiya ,us cheater ke naam ki maala japi . I- dekh Raman if you don't want to help me then don't pretend but don't tell anything against my abhi . R- you know till now I had listened that love is blind ,aaj dekh bhi liya .I m going to call uncle and tell him to choose a nice alliance for you . I- alliance ,from where does this come ,alliance ka kya karna hai Maine . R- shaadi karni hai madam ,ek achcha ladke dekh kar shaadi kar le ,you will be at peace . I- I will be at peace or you will be at peace .you go from here ,I don't want your help . She said pushing him and started going towards their classroom ,while Raman too followed her manofying her ,making it look like a boyfriend is wooing his girlfriend . Shagun made a confused face and thought " I snatched her boyfriend to make her jealous but seems she is not bothered about it rather enjoying with that motu Raman". Thinking so she spoke ,signalling towards ishra " Abhi this Ishita was your girlfriend na ". A- humm . S- lagta to nahi hai . A-why are you saying this ? S- see her ,yesterday you ditched her but instead of crying and being sad ,she is enjoying with that fatty . She spoke making abhi realize that he hadn't meet ishita after their breakup . Thinking so he thought to meet Ishita and he too was going behind ishra when shagun stopped him and spoke " where are you going abhi ".. A- just going to meet ishita , she must be very upset ,I wanna make her understand that I we two are more compatible then me and her .She must be disheartened and sad ,may be not lovers but we can be friends na . S- are you mad ,main us Ishita se friendship ,kabhi bhi nahi .I don't like her . A- why ? S- because ,because haan because you were away from me for so many days because of her only ,either I had started liking you from the day I came to this college but she had tagged you as hers that's why I hate her . A- I m a thing that she has tagged me .I too had my likes and dislikes ,now I like you and feel more comfortable and perfect with you . ok as you say ,I will not talk to her ,but you don't feel bad . S- thanks . Saying so she gave a quick peck on his lips and left from there ,one thing which ishita hadn't done yet because she don't like PDA while abhi was wanted to do that as all holding hands ,hanging on each other ,pecking on cheeks and lips are quite common in the campus but ishita was not very much comfortable with these . it was one of the habit of ishita which always irked him but shagun was not like she was openly flaunting herself with him ,though she was junior to them . Soon both moved to their respective classrooms . Abhi entered the classroom and found ishra busy in discussing something ,though ishra were just pretending as it was by planning ,but they looked way too much into each other which didn't go very nicely with abhi . He walked to ishra and spoke " I was preparing myself to apologize to you thinking you must be sad and crying but seems you don't care and is looking very happy with this fatty. " Ishita saw him ,her eyes become teary ,Raman saw her state and thought that she will burst out anytime ,thinking so he got up and spoke " why do you think that she will cry for you . tumne saaf saaf kah diya that you are done with her ,then what she is suppose to do ,wo royegi to tu waapas aa jaayega kya ". A- I m not talking to you but my girlfriend . R- correction ,ex girlfriend . I think you forget ,you ditched her yesterday only . A- yeah I ditched her ,tujhe kyun itni mirchi lag rahi hai rather you should be happy that you are getting chance to sit beside her warna mere rahte ,had you ever got chance to sit beside her. tujhe chance mila hai na to kar chance pe dance . R- I m not doing any chance pe dance rather just supporting her as you left her in mid . A- in mid what do you mean by that ,we are in college dude ,college mein sirf passing affairs hotein hain na ki life time , ishita I m sorry darling if you are feeling bad ,but jaaneman you know how I m shagun is giving me rooms which you never allowed me ,sirf pyaar se relationship nahi chalta ,it demands more and shagun is open .  R-(getting angry )- how dare you ,how cheap you can be ,how can you even talk about this to a girl . A- tu chup rah be motu why are you poking your nose between us ... They were still talking when the professor entered the class and all settled in their places . Though ishita didn't get much of the boys talk but she started crying as the thing that her relationship with abhi is over was clear with their talk .Raman held ishita's hands and signalled her not to cry ,she nodded but continued sobbing silently long ,then finally she forget after long and concentrated in studies while she noticed Raman glaring abhi all the time making a disgusting face  .Ishita was eagerly waiting for the period to end and she can ask about his and abhi's talk .Finally period ended, ishita turned to Raman and asked " ab bolo". R(confused )- kya ? I- what you two were talking . R- who two ? I- jab marega na tab pata chalega ,what you and abhi were talking .? R- you leave that ,tu bas itna samajh ki he is not a nice guy and try to forget him . Shot 3 R- I told you na, Abhi is not a nice guy , tu bhool ja use and try to concentrate of studies , ye pyaar vyaar mein kuch nahi rakha hai . I- ok will do as per your pravachan but at first you tell me what you guys were talking . R- were we talking in French? I- nahi to , it was English only . R- to dhakkan, usme kya hai no tu nahi samjhi . I-what that relationship demands more and shagun is open . R- you didn't understand that . She shook her head negatively while Raman smiled and spoke " that's why I call you dhakkan , sweety if you don't understand these all then why do you get involved in these . Ishita made a dirty face and spoke glaring him " Raman are you going to tell everything clearly or should I punch you hard ". R- arey baap 're, main to darr gaya (laughing hard)- tu mujhe punch karegi, had you seen me and yourself , mujhse aadhi se bhi kam hai tu and you will punch me . I- Irritate mat kar , bol na what's it . R- he was talking about getting physical  . I-what?. R- humm more means kissing and getting physical . I- iski to main, seriously I m so dumb , didn't  understand his intentions , even though he had tried to get closer to me but I thought it was just heat of moment and ignored . don't  know that he is doing everything intentionally  .Che how stupid I m . R-you mean to say , you people gone close to each other. I- no don't  know what's it but though Abhi was my boyfriend , I was never so comfortable with him . His way of holding me and touching , I never liked it , now I m understanding , why I was uncomfortable. R-chal chod , now forget him and try to concentrate on studies . I- wo, to main karoongi hi but before that , I need to teach him a nice lesson, bada aaya, I was a passing affair. Saying so she went from there in search of Abhi while Raman chased her and spoke" ishita stop ,Maine bola na ruk ." I- no I will not ,main teri tarah coward nahi hoon . how can you be silent after listening such bad thing about me ,chee. R- arey Ishita listen na ,baat ko badhaane ka kya faayda . Ishita was searching abhi while Raman was convincing her ,running behind her ,that's when she spotted Abhi and shagun. She walked to them ,turned abhi to him ,gave a hard slap on his cheek and spoke " kya bola tune ,I was a passing affair , I was not open , you looser, you are not suitable for me . you know you deserve this cheapster  shagun only . PDA chahiye na , so when you bed her ,to uska video bana kar viral kar dena ,why only you everybody will enjoy it ". Saying so she held Raman's hand and went from there ,while shagun and abhi saw ishita will anger filled eyes . Abhi spoke " I will not spare her ,how dare she hit me ". S- what attitude she has , why didn't you hit her back . A-not like this , now I will answer her nicely, just wait and watch . On the other hand ishita was drinking cold drink in canteen to cool her anger whike Raman was scolding her for hitting Abhi" tu pagal hai Kya, why did you hit him ". I-what I told you na I m not coward like you , he told bad about me so I too slapped him . R-but he spoke to me while you slapped him in public what if he will try to harm you . I- you are there na, you be with me . R-I m there but from now you too have to be careful . I- I m careful , you don't worry much Like this they talk for sometimes then left for their class while abhi and his friends has started keeping eyes on ishra . From next day ishra started spending more time with each other, Raman has found a lovely friend in ishita while she too got a caring friend .ishita felt safe with him while he was loving her presence around him . Slowly ishita started liking his nature over his look Raman has stopped himself to think anything for ishita as he considers that they are not compatible in any sense. One day it was a common friend birthday and he had called ishra along with Abhi, shagun and their other classmates.  Ishita was not ready as it was a late night party but Raman assured her parents that he will be ishita . Amma trust Raman a lot, though he was not perfect look wise but ishita's parents like him much because of his soft behaviour. On the other hand Abhi has something bad in his mind to ruin ishra friendship. Ishra got ready and reached the venue at the decided time . They were having a nice time with their friends while abhi wrote two chits and instructed the waiter to give it to ishra . The waited did same , ishita saw the chit and got confused , she saw Raman's name in it and thought why he is giving her chit when they are in same party and looked for Raman but he was nowhere . She got confused and thought may be he wants to talk something so he is calling her in terrace on the other hand Raman read the chit , it was someone informing him that Abhi has hired some boys to kidnap ishita . And Raman went out to check those boys while ishita went to the room and opened it . She was the room with very dim light while noticed Raman standing near the window , she called his name many times and spoke " Hey Raman what happened why did you call me here , party to neeche hai ". R-will tell you at first you come inside. I- no pahle tum bataao . R-arey come na yaar , you are mistrusting me . I- no nothing like that but why are you standing in dark . R-because I wanna say something to you , actually about my feelings to you ishita . I- your feeling , what feelings .? She was about to enter the room when she received Raman's call , she got confused and saw the call then the person standing in front of him . She immediately understood that there is something wrong and picked the call going out of the room . I-hello . R-ishita tu kahaan hai , th theek to hai na . I-haan , nahi ...but where are you . R - ishita you please don't come out of the party hall wahin rehna, it's a trap . I- ok ok .butI m so scared, you please come soon , why are you panting so much. Before he would answer she heard his scream and the phone got disconnected . She was going downstairs when a strong pair of arms held her and spoke " where are you going , that Abhi told me that you will be mind tonight ". Ishita saw a fat man like Raman's physic was holding her , she got to know everything and bite the man on his hand , he winced in pain and left ishita while she freed herself and ran down . She reached the party hall and told his friends that Raman is in danger , they all ran out and saw some men beating Raman while he was fighting with them with all his might . Soon the boys helped Raman and those men ran away while ishra ran to Raman and hugged him tight.  He cupped her face and asked " ishita are you alright ". I- humm , main theek hoon but why are you fighting with these men. R-they had come to kidnap you . Ishita told that it was just a trap to stop him to save her and told about the other trap of hotel room . Till now Raman has stopped himself a lot whenever Abhi mocked or insulted him but today he went too far . He went to Abhi and beat him blue black , he even clutched his neck and was strangling it when ishita stopped him . Raman warned Abhi to come near ishita or plan against them either this time he is leaving him next time he won't forgive . Last part Days started passing ishra friendship has become more strong , they had come more   closer but neighter of them ever thought or tried to take their relationship further. Their exams has completed and Raman has started going to office while ishita was waiting for results, sitting in home itself .  It was Saturday,today Raman had not gone to office as today is his leave . They only work for five days in a week,Raman thought to spend the day with ishita , they had even planned much things for the days. Raman informed toshiji about their plan and went to meet ishita . He stopped in front of her house and pressed the horn , soon ishita showed up and called Raman inside . He went to his home and she called him in , he settled in the couch while she brought coffee for him . He started having coffee when ishita spoke " Raman I wanna show you something. " R- Kya? I- wait . Saying so she went inside and came with a photograph .She showed it to him and spoke "Raman see this " R- what ? I- (showing a boys pic)- how is he ? R- at first tell me who is he , tera bhai vaai hai . I- noways,this is not my brother but Amma,  appa has chosen this boy for me . Bol na kaisa hai . Raman looked at ishita for sometimes while she was all busy in looking the picture, he took the pic and spoke seeing the pic nicely  " he is nice and handsome , fit bhi dikh raha , you can go for him  ." I- achcha hai na , I too liked him but thought to ask you once . R- that's nice , you can meet him . He spoke meekly while ishita was noticing his expression from cores of her eyes . He returned the pic to her and asked " I had planned much for today , tu mere saath aa rahi hai or you had some plan for him ". I- arey nahi , I don't know him yet . Chal kahaan chalna hai what you have planned . R- was thinking to do some shopping , then will have lunch in a nice restaurant then we  will go for a long drive , then we will sit on our place (a bench beside a lake ) and spend sometimes together, talking random things.  I- I m on for this , come let's go . Soon ishra were out , driving on the roads of Delhi , after sometimes they reach the mall and went inside . Raman asked " what first ladies or gents ". I- we should go in gents section as you have to do shopping , I don't have to much shopping . R- ok chal , I have to buy some business suits and formal cloths for office , papa was scolding me that I don't have office going cloths . Soon they were in men's shop choosing cloths for Raman . They picked some nice suit for Raman , he went to try them and found that they were small . Ishita spoke scolding him " motu can't you became bit fit , see no cloth is fitting you , I m pitying on the girl whom you will marry you, bechari dab jaayegi tere neeche". Raman saw at ishita and she was saying it seriously , he felt bad thinking she was very much ok with her marraige thing while ishita looked at him with teasing eyes but her expression changed instantly when she saw him but sad and asked " tumhe bura laga kya, I m so sorry Raman , sorry that i called you motu, aage se kuch nahi boolongi ". R- (composing himself )- arey nahi  , aisa kuch nahi hai, you have all the rights on me  , tu kuch bhi bula mujhe . I was just thinking " tu bhool to nahi jaayegi mujhe apni shaadi ke baad ". I- noways , you are my best friend , I can I forget you , you were the one who stood as a support system when I was all alone and broken after who's betrayal.  Raman smiled listening to her while she hugged him tight , soon both completed their shopping , then had their lunch.After that they went to the lake side , sat there for much time, talked about random things, their school,college , job,life after marraige everything then they came back . Raman dropped ishita to her house , he met her parents also , Amma even asked about the boy too .Raman told that the boy is good looking and he will be perfect if he has a nice nature , Amma got happy and blessed Raman happily.After that Raman came home back . Days again started passing , though till now Raman hadn't thought anything about ishita but after listening about her marraige he was very restless, he knew very well that nothing can happen between them ever but still he was not feeling good  . He don't know what's it but he was feeling too low thinking that ishita will go after her  marraige. To stay away from her and suppress his emotions he stop meeting ishita while on the other hand ishita's marraige got fixed and one day when Raman reach house , he saw ishita and her parents were sitting in his house .He got bit surprised while Mr bhalla opened his arms and called him to himself . Raman went and sat beside his father while he spoke " puttar ishita's marraige has fixed and they had come to call us for ishita's engagement. " Raman gave a meek smile and asked" when is the engagement ". Appa- day after tomorrow . R- congrates ishita , uncle mujhse koi help chahiye then you can tell me . Appa- you just come to engagement that will be much . R- I will surely come . They spend some more time whike ishra too spend sometimes , whole the time ishita was noticing Raman's dull face and was asking the reason while he was not saying anything , then iyers left bhalla house , after inviting them again . On the day of engagement , toshiji brought a beautiful cream color sherwani with legroom and golden embroidery and told Raman to wear it , he saw the sherwani and spoke " ma I m not going to wear it , it's just so gorgeous, it's not mine but ishita's engagement, main hi dulha lagoonga". T- haan to tu Kya dulhe( groom) se kam hai Kya.  R- arey ma samjho na, please I can't wear this . It's just so gorgeous . T- but I had brought it for you and you have to wear this only , either we are not going . R- ma please , I can't... T- koi nahi then we are not going . That's when ishita's phone buzzed, he picked the call and she asked " hey motu you hadn't come yet , come soon , I m waiting for you". R- coming, it's ma who is getting late . I- I don't know anything come asap.  R- ok sweety . He hung the call whole toshiji showed him the sherwani and spoke " if you are wearing this then only we are going ". Raman nodded and spoke " ok you go I m just coming ". Toshiji smiled fully and went while Raman dressed up in the sherwani and get ready. The bhallas were on the way to iyer house after sometimes . They reached the iyer house , Mr and Mrs iyer welcome them wholeheartedly while Raman was looking for ishita . Amma saw him and spoke " you are searching for ishu na." Raman nodded while Amma informed that she is with her cousin and will be coming to the hall soon . Bhalla's were in hall , Mr iyer were introducing them to his relatives while Raman's eyes were on the entrance only from where ishita is suppose to come , that's when he saw ishita coming to the hall with some girls.He saw her thinking she will look at him but to his disappointment she didn't raised her eyes to see anything or anyone . Thats when Mr iyer walked to her hold her hand and climbed the stage with Amma.  The trio reached the stage and Mr iyer took the mike. He took the mike and spoke " welcome ladies and gentlemen, I m glad that you all have come here to be a part of our happiness , so friends I m here to announce engagement of my daughter ishita iyer with her friend and Mr , Mrs bhalla son , Mr Raman Kumar bhalla . " He announced happily , Raman was shocked listening to this while Mr and Mrs bhalla dragged Raman towards the stage . He looked at them surprisingly whike ishita was calling him , forwarding her hands towards him . He was surprised knowing that ishita and his parents everyone knows it , they reached the stage and panditji started doing the puja of rings which both mother's gave . After that they forwarded rings to ishra , Ishita opened her finger and signalled him to make her wear ring , s He saw her with surprising eyes and slid the ring in her finger while ishita happily pulled out his finger and made him wear the ring.  Their parents blessed them happily while the guest applauded for the couple . Soon all got busy in party whike Raman took ishita to a corner and asked " what's all this ,you had shown me pic of another boy, phir ye sab ". I- yeah I had shown you pic of another boy and even my marraige was getting fixed with him but in all these days when you were working and we couldn't meet , I was feeling too alone . The thought that our relationship will not be same after my marraige, made me more restless . I thought what's happening to me , after much thinking I concluded that it's my affection towards you and I had seen your face too that day . Finally after much thinking I decided that I have to marry you , I talked to Amma appa , at first they got a get but then they went to your house . Uncle and aunty , no mummyji and papa ji got ready instantly , aakhir itni achchi bahu jo mil rahi thi.  Everything got decided but I thought to surprise you . Motu you were dying but can't you confess your love. " R-( smiling fully )- I was dying, who told you  I- mummyji and papaji they told me about your state , you were being devdas , always engrossed in work , eat less , sleep less , not talking to anyone . R- ok khabri lal, you have all the news about me . He spoke coming closer to her,she blushed  while he didn't stopped and captured her lips for a deep kiss , she too didn't resisted and responded fully, wounding her hands around his neck.          THE END
