EPISODE – 15
Lost in
their conversation they didn't even realize the time passing by swiftly. It was
already 1 am.
"Oh My
God!!! Raj time dekha hai tumne. I think I should rush back home. It's too late
now."
"Then call
up aunty and stay back."
"Naah...
that's fine. I'll drive back home."
"As you
wish."
As Rajveer
and Naina stepped out of his apartment they saw the door across the corridor,
right in front of them, open. That apartment belonged to Neetika. They saw
Navin come out of the apartment with Neetika.
"Look who is
here!" Rajveer said to Naina but in a higher pitch so as to draw Neetika and
Navin's attention. Both Rajveer and Naina gave them a mischievous look. As they
approached nearer, Naina started humming a song...
"Chup-chup ke chup-chup ke,
chori se chori,
Chup-chup ke... chup-chup ke re!!"
"Just stop
humming that Naina. Main yahan kaam se aaya tha... Work related issues!"
"Oh! But
yaar main bhi tumhare saath kaam karta hoon, next door rehta hoon... Phir tu
mujhse kabhi yeh apne WORK related issues discuss kyun nahin karta."
"Woh isliye
kyunki... Wait a minute!! I think we both don't owe you as much explanation as
you two do. Tu yahan kya kar rahi hai? That too so late!"
"Main... ghar ja rahi hoon."
"Lekin yahan
kar kya rahi thi.... Itni raat tak."
"Kuch
nahin... Bas yun hi."
"Yun hi!!"
"Haan. Aap
thode busy the na isliye maine
socha jaa ke Raj ko bug karti hoon."
"Cut the
crap Naina. What is it Raj?" Navin asked Rajveer who stood their smiling.
"Bata doon
Naina?"
"Raaaajjjjjjjjjj...."
She gave him a hard gaze threatening not to say anything.
"Waise don't
you guys think raat ke ek baje batein karne ke liye corridor is the most
inappropriate place." Neetika intervened.
"That's
right! Come on in. Niti door lock kar ke yahin aa ja." Rajveer told her and
gestured Navin and Naina to come inside.
"Tum dono
chalo main abhi aata hoon." Navin stayed back.
"Haan-haan...
kyun nahin Bhaiyya... take your own time." Before Navin could say anything she ran
inside pulling Rajveer with her.
"Kya keh
rahe the tum bahar?" Naina scolded Rajveer pulling him by his collar.
"Maine kahan kuch kaha!"
"Don't act
smart. Marwaoge tum mujhe."
"Waise just
in case you don't remember maine
hi tumhein Navin aur Niti ke baare mein bataya tha... Without his permission!"
"So what?
Yeh case different hai."
"Acha...
kaise?"
"Woh aise
ki..." Before she could complete Navin and Neetika entered.
Navin came
to Naina and pulled her ears.
"Ab bol...
kya bol rahi thi?"
"Ouch...
Bhaiyya!!"
"Navin tu
ise chod aur apni soch. Kab tak uncle aunty se chupayega Neetika ke baare mein
and more importantly kyun?" Rajveer intervened separating the squabbling
siblings.
"Yaar....
actually hum dono abhi yehi discuss kar rahe the."
"Ah! Your
work related matter."
"Shut-up
Raj!"
"Actually we
were thinking...." Neetika stopped in between and looked at Navin. She wasn't
sure she should continue or not.
"Thinking
what? Continue Niti, Maa- Baba yahaan nahin hain."
Neetika
slightly slapped on her back and continued.
"We were
thinking about our marriage. But the thing is how do we tell that to our
parents? None of our parents know about our relationship."
"Lekin
batana to padega hi na." Rajveer said.
"Aur aap
dono nahin bata sakte to main bata deti hoon."
"NAHIN."
Navin shrieked and almost jumped out of his seat.
"Kyun?"
"Tu nahin
Naina. Tune kuch gadbad kar di to shaadi se pehle humein divorce lena padega."
Naina
started giggling.
"Chill
Bhaiyya. Main sambhaal loongi. Aur phir problem hi kya hai? Niti ko to waise
bhi Maa bahut like karti hain. Woh to aasani se maan jayengi."
"NO WAYS! We'll work
out something but you stay out of this."
"Navin I
think tu over react kar raha hai. Naina is right. Aunty likes Niti and if you
also like her, then there is no reason, she should not agree for this
alliance."
"Okay wait a
minute. We don't think we have considered this thing that very seriously, nor
are we in any kind of rush. So take it easy. I think we'll manage to do
something." Neetika tried to avoid the topic and Navin also supported her.
"I think she
is right. We haven't made up our mind fully on this matter. Jab final decision
le lenge tab tum logo ko bata bhi denge aur zaroorat padi to help bhi le lenge.
But till then forget about it."
"Okay."
Naina wasn't actually very happy with this decision to postpone their wedding
plans. She had really liked the idea of Neetika being her Bhabhi.
"But my
question isn't still answered. Tu yahan kya kar rahi thi?" Navin was again back
to square one.
"Oh come on
Bhaiyya. Raj se milne aayi thi. I was busy with something isliye aane mein late
ho gayi aur phir jaane mein bhi late ho gayi. Ab hum ghar chalein. Maine abhi tak kal ke
show ke liye koi preparation bhi nahin ki hai."
"Yeah right.
I think we should go. Good Night Raj. Goodnight Jaan."
Navin and
Neetika left the room. Naina was about to step out behind them but Rajveer
pulled her inside holding her by her arms.
"Kya hua?"
"Don't you
think humein kuch karna chahiye?"
"Tum abhi
tak soch hi rahe ho. Maine
to kab ka soch bhi liya. In dono ke liye kuch to karna hi padega na!"
"Kya socha?"
"Abhi nahin.
Ghar pahunch ke I'll call you up."
"Okay!"
"Bye."
"Bye. But
ghar pahunchte hi do give me a call."
"For sure!"
