We arrived Lucknow yesterday around 11:30 pm at night.
We are staying in a huge bunglow. It's outside the main city and all the wedding functions will happen here. This place is so beautiful...I was amazed to see that he has big garden, swimming pool and many amazing facilities which are not even available in 5 star hotel. I mean literally this is much much better than any 5 star hotel. The view of sunset and sunrise is just incredible.
All the youngsters are living in one wing and all the elder's are living in another wing. I am living in separate room next to adi and Di's room. Maa papa's room is in another wing.
It's 8:00 in the morning and I just took bath and got ready wearing my favourite suit with my favourite banarasi dupatta. I applied sindoor and hided it properly. I wore anklets, jhumka and bangles covering both my wrist.
I don't know anyone here. All the faces except my family are new to me. But it seems that maa and papa share a really good relation with them. When we arrived at railway station they sent their driver to pick up us.
I didn't got chance to meet them as just after arriving here a lady nearly maa's age ordered a servent to take us to our rooms.
I thought to go to Di's room as I was being bored. Now my exams are also over so I had nothing to do now. I went to Di's room and knocked.
But Adi opened the door. I asked him "Adi what are you doing here and where is di?"
"Actually I was being bored and my phone was also switched off so I came to Di's room" I nodded and stepped in.
I saw di sitting in front of dressing table and was applying kajal. I was astonished seeing di...she was looking so beautiful.
I went near her and said "hayee di...aap kitne sundar lag rahi hai...kisi ki Nazar na Lage" I said dramatically moving my hands around her head.
She blushed and said turning towards me "keval ham thode Sundar lag rahe...jara apne aap ko bhi dekhiye...ekdum nayi naveli dulhan jaise saji hai aap"
This time I blushed hearing her compliment and my cheeks turned red when she said 'nayi naveli dulhan'.
"Di!! aap bhi na" I said shyly.
"Aree Bhai...ek dusre ki hi tarife kiye jaa rahi hai aap log...main bhi hu yaha...aapko itna handsome ladka nahi dikha...jara hamare liye bhi do shabd keh dijiye" Adi said dramatically moving his hands.
We both laughed out and said together looking at him "just looking like a bandar."
"jao aap log...apko apne bhai ki kadar hi nahi hai" He said showing fake anger.
We both went towards him.
"ekdum handsome lag raha hai mera chota bandar" I said hugging him. Di also joined us. We shared a group hug.
I feel blessed to have di and adi as my siblings. They fight with me a lot in house but they are the one who always protects me from this outside world.
I still remember....when I was 15, a boy proposed me but I refused him clearly saying that I am not interested. But he kept trying on me for more than a month. He used to trouble me by following me, messaging me or calling me. One day he followed me till my home and that day di saw him. She asked me about everything and I told her. Then next day when I went to school I saw that guy was absent. And I somehow got to know that di and adi beated him badly. They took help of chilli powder and sprayed it in his eyes and when he fell down then these two warriors beated him with danda (wooden stick) till the time he agreed that he will not disturb me. After that incident my parents and his parents were called and he apologized me.
.
.
We broke the hugg and di said "chalo baccha party...maa ka kuch der pehle call aaya tha.. breakfast ke liye bula rahi hai hame"
We nodded and left.
We reached near the dinning table.
Maa papa and many other people were sitting.
"Maa" I said softly.
All of them looked towards us. I was a bit uncomfortable but I shrugged off my feelings.
Maa stood up from her place and said "aao baccho...let me introduce you to all of them."
We nodded smilingly.
"He is Mr. SHIV SINGH RAJPUT...abhimaan's father
She is Mrs. APARNA SINGH and abhimaan's mother..
He is Mr. ABHIRAAJ SINGH RAJPUT...abhimaan's chacha and Shiv's younger brother and
She is his wife Mrs.AISHWARYA SINGH.. remaining are the little youngsters" Maa introduced everyone to us and we greeted them saying 'Namaste'.
"Aunty why didn't you introduced us to them?....leave it..I am Ruhi. Abhimaan Bhaiya ki choti behan" A girl nearly Adi's age said.
"Hii" we said
"I am Akriti ...she is my younger sister Divya and he is the youngest one Aditya " Di introduced us her.
"But you can call me adi" Adi said looking at her.
She was staring at adi without blinking her eyes....Adi smiled looking at her. We understood that she liked our Adi and we gave Adi a teasing smile.
All the elders were having their breakfast so they didn't noticed them.
We three settled near Ruhi but this girl was literally went to some other world.
"Ruhiiiiii" two people nearly my age shouted attaining everyone's attention.
Ruhi flinched and looked around realising that she was gawking adi. Her face turned red and we all laughed except adi. He was blushing seeing her reaction.
"Hii bhabhi...I am Vihaan and she is Priya" a voice said. I was startled when he addressed me as 'bhabhi'.
"Bhabhiiii??" Adi and di shouted.
"Haa I mean she is the bride na?" He said confusingly.
"Nahi vihaan, she is Divya" Chachi said
"Oops sorry..." He said.
"It's all right " I said.
.
We all had our lunch chatting and knowing each other. All the elders were so sweet.Whereas Vihaan and ruhi both are very playful. They both teases di a lot about jiju.
But jiju was not present there as he had some work in office aunty told this to di. We also got to know that Di's marriage which was about to happen next week will now happen after 15 days as Aunty wanted di to take time to adjust and know jiju.
Maa and papa both were very happy.
.
.
Evening (around 6:30pm)
We all youngsters are in the garden talking each other. Vihaan,Priya and ruhi are very friendly. They are calling di as 'bhabhi' and I can see whenever they call her that she blushes. Adi and vihaan had became good friends.
Di said "Divu shaam to ho gyi hai...Abhimaan ji kab tak aayenge?...hame unse kuch baat karni thi"
"Aree di...itni besabri" I teased her
"Nahi vo.." she said hesitatingly
"Accha Rukiye di ham pata karte hai" I said smilingly
I saw Priya sitting near the fountain and others were playing cards.
I went to her and said "Priya when will jiju come?"
"He will come in sometime" she replied casually to me.
I and di both nodded and indulged ourselves with them.
.
.
.
Now it was 9:30 in the night and we were sitting in the main hall watching a movie after our dinner.
I heard someone's footsteps entering the hall. I averted my gaze towards the source of voice and found jiju walking inside the hall.
I looked at di and said "lijiye...aa gaye aapke hone wale patidev...jaiye mil lijiye"..
Di said "divu abhi is waqt Ghar par koi nahi hai ham sab ke alawa...maa papa aur baki sab log bahar gye hai"
I nodded knowingly...I already knew that nobody is at home.
"Haa di...I know that" I said
"Aree....Mera matlab divu should I ask him kya for water and all?" She said fidgeting her fingers.
I smiled and said "yes di you should and vaise bhi you will get time to talk him privately".
She nodded. Someone said from behind "Vihaan where's maa?".. we looked back and saw jiju standing there.
Vihaan:- they went out somewhere.... nobody is at home except us.
He said looking at him.
Jiju nodded and was about to left but then di said "Rukiye"
He turned towards di and frowned.
"Umm..hii...I am Akriti" di said with hesitation.
"Hii...I am Abhimaan" he replied with professional tone.
"Hame aapse kuch baat karni thi" di said
"Kahiyee" he said
"Aap pehle fresh ho jaiye...tab tak ham aapka khana lagwa dete hai...phir baat karenge" di said and he nodded and left. After him di also left.
.
.
I heard some noise coming from outside.
I got up quickly thinking 'ab kon aaya hai?? Jiju to already aa gaye hai"
I went out to check as all the others were so engrossed in the movie that they wouldn't react even if a thief comes.
I saw a male figure coming near the entrance. But when I got a clear view I was shocked. It was him. 'hey shiv ji ye kaha se prakat ho gye... ye kahi koi sapna to nahi....ye kaise ho sakte hai...vo bhi yaha' I said to myself.
I pinched my hands not believing my eyes but still it was him. I was stunned. He saw me and marched towards me. I was staring at him shockingly.
He was again looking very handsome. His blazer were lying on his hand and sleeves were rolled up till his elbow giving a clear view of his muscular hand with emerging nerves. First two buttons of his shirt was open which was provided partial view of his chest and tie was hanging low.
"Done staring me wifey" a voice interrupted my thoughts and I looked at the source. He was standing in front of me. I realised my deeds and lowered my lashes embarrassingly.
"I w_asn't star_ing at you"I said gathering up courage.
"Ohh really" he said coming closer
"Ji" I replied
"Fine" he said and walked inside. I went after him having a lot of questions.
He stopped in his midway and turned. "What happened wifey? Why are you following me?" He asked folding his arms.
"Vo..aap...... yaha ??" I asked as I was hell confused seeing him here.
"Kyu..ham nahi aa sakte?" He said frowning.
"Nahi I mean..what if someone sees you here " I said
"Wifey this my home and for your kind information your sister is getting married to my brother.. Abhimaan Singh rajput "
"What?" I shouted
"Aap...jiju..di...I me_an you are jiju's br_other?" I asked and he nodded.
"Hey bhagwan!" I exclaimed shockingly. It means I and di we both are married in the same family. I mean di will marry.
"Where are others?" He asked bringing me out of the shock.
"Elders are not at home and others are watching movie" I said and he nodded and turned to leave but I stopped him saying "suniyee"
"Hn ji kahiye" he said smiling
"Umm....khana?" I asked softly
"Bhook nahi hai " he said coldly
"Ham aapka khana nikal rahe hai....aap fresh ho kar aaiye" I said ignoring his reply.
"I am not hungry....yo can go" saying this he left.
I was angry at him for refusing me. But I shrugged off my thoughts and went to Kitchen for taking out his food. I arranged everything properly on plate and went outside to keep it on table. There I saw di and jiju sitting together. Jiju was having his dinner and di was looking at him. I smiled seeing di..it seemed like di is already in love with him.
Jiju noticed my presence and said "what happened?? Why are you here?" He asked coldly.
Di looked at me and said "kya hua bacche??" Then she saw food plate in my hand and asked "ye khana kiske liye hai divu?"
"Di this is for Aarav ji" I said softly..
"Kya?" She asked shockingly
I nodded
"But why are you serving him the meal?" a cold voice grabbed my attention and I looked towards the source and it was Jiju. He was looking at me dangerously.
"Umm...vo... actually" I didn't knew what I should reply him.
Di looked at me and then him trying to understand the situation. Even she wasn't aware about Aarav ji being jiju's brother.
"Aap Aarav ko kaise jante hai?" Didi asked him
He looked at di amusingly and said "he is my brother." Di widened his eyes while processing his words.
"You mean aap... aur..Aarav Bhai hai?" She asked
I and jiju both nodded.
"Oh god" she shouted standing up.
"Di... don't shout...they are watching movie" I said slowly
"What the hell you both are talking?" Jiju said coldly "and you keep this in mind that maids are here so Aarav doesn't need your help...you can go" Jiju said coldly but it was more like scolding.
Tears gathered in my eyes hearing his harsh words. I nodded and was about to leave but a voice came
"Divya...wait" I looked towards the source and it was him. Tears rolled down my eyes seeing him. He came near me and stood beside me. He glared at his brother.
"Bhai she is my wife Mrs.Divya Aarav Singh Rajput...I wouldn't like if someone will order her to do anything" he said with cold and dangerous voice.
"She is your wife?" He asked Aarav ji in the same tone as his.
"Yes" he replied instantly.
"I wasn't aware and Divya I am sorry if you felt bad...I didn't knew that you are the one who got married to him" jiju said to me softly looking towards me.
"Nahi sorry ki koi zarurat nahi hai....you wasn't aware about our marriage so this was the reaction expected from every elder sibling...even di would have reacted the same way" I instantly said when he said sorry, I didn't liked it.
He nodded smilingly at me. I returned the smile and averted my gaze towards Aarav ji.
"I told you that I am not hungry then why you took out the food?" He said coldly looking at me.
"Aur hamne bhi kaha tha ki ham aapka khana nikal rahe to ab aap baithye aur chup chap khana khaiye" I said looking at him.
"Chaliye hamare kamre mein" he said piercing my soul worth his gaze.I was shocked with his reply.
*Coughing* voice came and I saw jiju choked on his food and di was rubbing his back.
I was standing there trying to understand the actual meaning behind his words.
"Chalo" he again said.
"K_yu" I asked
He looked at di and jiju and then at me. He leans towards my ear a little said while smirking "kuch cheeze sabke samne nahi kar sakte"
My eyes came out of my socket realising what he just said. He chuckled and said "are you coming by yourself or do you want me to pick you up?"
I looked at di and jiju both were looking at us. Jiju was smiling mischievously and di seemed shocked.
"No No
...I am com_ing" I said as if he'll pick me up it would be hell embarrassing in front of di jiju.
He nodded and started walking. I followed him with absent mind. My thoughts were stuck to his sentence "kuch cheeze sabke samne nahi kar sakte"
