Chapter 1 - The phone call
Khushi looked at her sister with a boring look and her sister also looked at her and let her head fall on the pillow of their bed lazily.
"Sunday is so boring na.. We already talked about everything even Happy's uncle garage and now we have nothing to do at all.." Khushi pouted trying to make a braid with her hair.
"Haan Khushi.. What are going to do now?" Payal asked totally bored and blank having no idea of to make this Sunday of them a little bit interesting.
"I don't know.. Let's just sleep Jiji.. Time will pass soon and it will be night, then we will have dinner with Amma ji, Bauji and Buaji and then sleep again and tomorrow work!" Khushi said childishly and rested her head on her pillow on her side of the bed, closing her eyes to sleep.
"No.. I've an idea!" Payal slapped her arms making Khushi jerk and immediately sat on the bed, "What Jiji?"
"Let's call a random number and talk with him in baby voice!" Payal smiled excitedly as she grabbed her phone and sat close to Khushi.
"What? What if he turns out to be a goon and threatens me instead?" Khushi widened her eyes.
"Nothing will happen.. It will be fun Khushi.." Payal said and handed the phone to her, "You try first.."
Khushi dialed a number that came in her mind nervously, and placed the phone on her ear biting her nails, after some rings, she looked at Payal shaking her head, "Not available!"
"Okay I will try now.." Payal said taking the phone from her hand and dialed a number excitedly. She talked with a lady with baby voice, and the lady looked confused at first but after realizing it was a prank, she shouted at Payal. Payal quickly cut the call, and both sisters burst out laughing.
"My turn now.." Khushi said excitedly to play the game now, she thought she would find a similar situation like her sister, but she doesn't know who's phone number she's going to dial. ;)
"Hi.. How ale (are) you?" Khushi said in baby voice as the person at the other side picked up her call.
"What the.." came the reply from the richest man in Asia, the owner of AR designs and the handsome man whose looks are enough to make girls go crazy for him. He was walking towards his room after greeting his dear Di, when suddenly some unknown number called him. He picked it up thinking to be some of his clients who got his number through Aman, his PA.
"How ale you uncle? I'm still baby and you ale insulting me!" she giggled in babyish tone.
"Oh really.. Great baby that knows what What the means.." Arnav smirked heading to his room.
Khushi widened her eyes after getting caught, she immediately cut the call afraid.
"What happened?" Payal asked.
"Jiji he was a man and he knew that I was lying.." Khushi pouted.
"Urghh.. This is so embarrassing Jiji.. I shouldn't have agreed for this prank.. Ugh.." Khushi hide her face on a pillow crying dramatically.
Payal giggled and went to the bathroom, Khushi looked up and saw that she left the room, she glanced at the phone and slowly took it, writing a message to the unknown number, "Hey.. I'm sorry.. It was just a game.."
"Alright.. Baby girl or boy?" Arnav typed with a smirk never leaving his face.
"Aww.. Of course girl!" Khushi widened her eyes smiling at his question.
"So baby girl.. Boring Sunday?" Arnav asked while loosening his tie with one hand while other typed the message for Khushi.
"Yes..Mr. What the!" she blushed reading the message.
"What the.." Arnav chuckled after reading the nickname given by her and even surprised that a girl had courage to talk to him like that but he can't blame her as she still didn't realize with whom is she talking with.
"So Baby girl what's your real name?" he asked.. very curious!
Khushi bit her nails nervously, should she reveal her name to a stranger like that. She didn't reply that message frightened and deleted the chat from Payal's phone. And closed her eyes tightly trying to sleep but she couldn't, her mind was on the conversation she had with Mr. What the.. She cursed herself for starting a conversation with a stranger.
"Sleep.. Sleep.. Sleep Khushi.." she pulled the blanket till it hide her face when Payal's phone got a message. She jerked and sat on the bed staring at the phone nervously, she thought to ignore him and go back to sleep but if Payal sees his message on her phone, she will start asking many questions. So she quickly took the phone with trembling hands and opened the message only to realize it was a random message from Payal's friend. She sighed in relief and kept the phone back to his place praying that Mr. What the forgets about her.
******************************************************************************
"Chote.." Anjali knocked the door of Arnav's room and waited patiently till he answers her.
Arnav left his phone on the bed and got up from the bed heading towards the door, he opened the door for his Di, "Yeah Di.."
"Lavanya's family is downstairs.. They want to talk about the marriage preparations and fix the engagement day.." Anjali said.
"Okay.. I will freshen up and join you guys in few minutes.." Arnav nodded. Anjali smiled and went from there. Arnav locked the door again and headed to his closet to choose his clothes, then walked back to his bed and glanced at his phone to see if any reply from the Baby girl came but there was no reply.
"Did she feel bad because I asked her real name?" he thought and walked towards his bathroom.
Few minutes later, he went downstairs and greeted Lavanya's family members and sat on his chair.
"Chote we talked with the priest and he said that engagement should happen after two months.." Nani, the eldest in the family informed smiling happily that NK is getting married soon. Although he's the young one in the house, he fell in love deeply with Lavanya and he wanted to wait for his elder brothers, Arnav and Akash to get married but both denied and asked him to go ahead if he wanted to marry Lavanya. That's why he agreed and here they are talking about marriage preparations.
"If both are happy with this date, then it's ok for me!" Arnav blinked his eyes.
"Yaay.." NK jumped in happiness making everyone giggle except his Nannav Bhai who rolled his eyes in disbelief.
"You're getting married now.. At least behave maturely now.." Arnav said.
"There's no fun in being like you Nannav.. If I become like you, then Lav will be bored all her life.." NK smiled sheepishly.
Arnav glared at him and everyone burst out laughing.
Everyone got engrossed in marriage talks, Arnav pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw no message from Baby girl. He clicked on her chat and started typing, "No need to share your name with a stranger if you don't want.. But at least don't stop replying na!"
*****************************************************************************
Payal's phone ringed once indicated that she received a message. Both Khushi and Payal looked at her phone.
Before Payal could take her phone, Khushi jumped off the bed and took her phone breathing heavily.
"Khushi.." Payal looked at her confused, "It's my phone!"
"Haan I know.. Actually Jiji my phone isn't working properly.. So can I use your phone instead?" Khushi smiled pleading.
"Haan why not? You're my little sister.. We share everything.." Payal smiled shaking her head, "See whose message is it now?
"It's nothing.. Your friends are sending funny jokes repeatedly everytime.. Don't they get tired of laughing at the same joke and forwarding this to you?" Khushi frowned nervously staring at Arnav's message that she didn't open yet in fear that Payal might snatch the phone from her and see his message.
"Okay.. I'm sleeping then.." Payal said and buried her face on the pillow.
Khushi sighed in relief and walked out of the room, heading towards the living room she opened Arnav's message and sat on the couch, "Call me Baby girl only.. Some day I will reveal my name to you!"
"Okay :)" came his quickest reply. He didn't feel bad that she didn't reveal her name to him, in fact he liked it. She seemed to be a good character girl, not those women who throw themselves on him because of his looks and money.
"What are you doing Mr. What the?" she typed smiling, she felt good that he understood her and didn't took bad her words.
"My cousin brother is getting married.. So both families are in my house talking about the preparations!" he replied.
"Hmm.. And you're chatting with me instead of participating in marriage talks?" she asked smiling excitedly. She doesn't get this excited while chatting with her friends, then why this stranger?
"Interesting things attract me ;)" he replied.
Khushi blushed hard, she typed something, then deleted it and thought for a while thinking what to reply to him.
"Talking about marriage, are you married, single or what?" he asked curiously seeing her taking time to reply, he knew she must be blushing right now.
"Married!" she decided to tease him smiling, a little punishment for making her blush and dumbfounded!
"What the.." Arnav typed furiously, feeling like to throw this phone somewhere and break it in pieces.
Khushi laughed reading his reply, "My husband will get angry if he sees our conversation!"
"Then I guess we should stop chatting with each other.." he threw his phone on the table angrily, trying to concentrate on the marriage talks.
*****************************************************************************
"Chote what happened?" Anjali looked at him after he threw his phone to the table and everyone feared not for his phone, but for the glass table who could break in pieces by his anger.
"Nothing!" he curtly replied and went to the kitchen leaving everyone continue their talks. He poured water on his glass and drank it in one go trying to control his anger. Why did she even start a conversation with him to tell him that she was happily married? Why is he getting affected with this girl? Why is it disturbing him that she was married already?
"Chote you got a message.." Anjali shouted from the living room.
Arnav walked back to the living room and found NK taking his phone. He rushed to NK and snatched it from NK's hand, "What the.. It's my phone!"
"Relax Nannav.. I won't murder your phone that you came running like you're saving your heroine!" NK chuckled and went back to Lavanya.
Arnav shook his head and opened Khushi's message, "Mr. What the I'm just kidding.. I'm not married!"
It was first message she send and he grinned happily to know that she wasn't married.
Are you angry with me? Then say it.. Don't stop replying na :(" it was the second message she sent just now when his Di called, exactly 4 minutes after the first message.
Arnav smiled reading the message. Anjali nudged Nani to see Arnav's smile, slowly one by one stopped talking and were staring with shocked looks to Arnav.
Arnav looked up from his phone's screen to his family who stopped talking and were giving weird looks to him, he shrugged: What?
"Bhai.. You're smiling?" Akash gasped surprised.
Arnav put up a stern look, and ignored their looks heading upstairs to his room where he could continue his chat with Baby girl without any interruption.
