Kriti: Darpok? Mai Darpok? Aaj ke din bhi plan kiya tha naa? Nihal ke baache.. aaj to tu gaya..

Nihal: Ohh shitt.. (Khushi and Yash giggles) d.. d.. darpok nahi.. wo to galti se.. bass nikal gaya meri jaan..

Khushi: ohh really Nihal? Aisa sochta hai tu meri jaan ke baare mein? Darpok? (Teasing him)

Nihal: Nakchadi tujhe to mai baad mein dekhta hu..

Khushi: What?? Nihal.. ab to mai bhi Krits ki taraf hu... Karan tu hatt beechme se.. Nihal bahar nikal tu..

(Her eyes popping out)

Nihal: Kya hua? He doesn't know?

Karan: (in mind: First kyaa? Ye baat kya kar rahe hai aur.. Kriti ne use rok kyu liya? Mai kya nahi jaanta? Puch lu kya?)
Guyss.. kya bol rahe ho? 1st kya?

Kriti: Umm.. w.. wo.. kuch..

Nihal: kuch nahi bhai.. 1st husband ho na aap uske..

Karan: Kyaa? (Chuckles) to aur kitne husband rakhne ka plan hai Krits?

Kriti: huh? (Shocked and feared and looks at Khushi for a telepathy talk)

Khushi: (in mind: Situation out of control..) Nihaal.. wo nahi aa sakti o kya hua? Mai to aa hi sakti hu.. nahi?

(Khushi comes near them and he runs from there and both girls chase him and he goes behind Shiv)

Nihal: Aap jo bhi hai please meri help kar do warna ye dono pakka mujhe kaccha chaba jayengi aur dakar bhi nahi lengi.. please please..

Shiv: Par.. mai kya karu?

Khushi: Shiv hato saamne se..

Shiv: (scared) Ok ok.. (He was about to move but Nihal held him)

Nihal: No way.. wo nahi hatega..
(Yash keeps enjoying the situation while Janvi joins him)

Kriti: Shiv tum mere dost ho na? Hato saamne se..

Shiv: Haa meri dost par usne mujhe pakad rakha hai.. mai kya karuu?

Khushi: Shiv... Haath chhudao aur hatooo

Nihal: Nahi nahi nahii.. Shiv nahi hategaa..

Shiv: (in mind: Hey Bhagwan... kaha fas gaya? Ab in do billiyon aur ek chuhe ki ladai ke beech mujhe kaha khada kar diya aapne? Ek to ye ladka mujhe chhod nahi raha aur Krits chillaye jaa rahi hai.. Khushi ki to badi badi aakhein hi mujhe dara rahi hai.. aur ye Jannu.. meri saviour hoke Yash ke saath baithke maze le rahi hai... Waah matlab.. Accha khaasa Karan ke piche chhupa tha.. ab mujhe fasa diyaa)

Kriti's chachi: Nihaal, Krittu, Khushii.. tum teeno ka phir shuru ho gaya? Aaj ke din to shanti se raho.. chalo baki ki ladai baadme kar lena.. Nihal.. mujhse milne ka iraada hai ya nahi?

Nihal: of course buaa.. aapse kaise nahi milunga? (He touches her feet and hugs her) kaisi ho aap?

Chachi: I am fit and finee.. accha mere saath chalo.. Maa, bhaiyya, bhabhi aur tumhare fufaji kabse tumhare baare mein puch rahe hai.. sabse mil lo pehle

Nihal: ha haa.. chaliye naa..

Kriti: Chachiii.. thik hai.. abhi bach gaya.. tujhe hum baadme dekh lenge..

Khushi: exactly.. this is not over yet!!

Nihal: Will see thatt!!
(Yash and Jannu enjoy all the time from distance and finally come near them as Nihal left with his mom. They attend some more guests, Yash and Jannu have a fight and everyone tries to cool them down when Nihal returns)

Karan: Jannu chhod naa.. kyu badha rahi hai baat..

Khushi: exactly.. Yash yaar tu bhi please chill na..

Jannu: aise kaise chhodu? How dare you bandar? Teri himmat kaise hui mujhe mic pe chudail bulane ki? Matlab kya sochke tune..

Jannu: Kashh mai bol paati.. lekin I am not a jerk like you.. tu mujhe private mein Chudail bolta hai to mai sun leti hu na? Par aise itne logo ke samne?

Nihal: Guyss.. kya ho raha hai?

Kriti: (makes her eyes big) shutt upp

Shiv: (in mind: baki kuch bhi ho.. I am happy he has a girlfriend.. Khushi ka first crush sunke maine pata nahi kya kya soch liya tha.. thank god)

Nihal: Finee.. par buddy ka to bata sakta hu na uske bhai ko?

Shiv: (in mind: kya ho sakta hai Khushi ka bachpan ka nickname?)

Yash: Obviously.. batao batao

Karan: mind your language baby.. aas paas dekh.. hum stage pe ek function mein hai bohot logo ke beech..

Khushi: Sorry.. par buddy.. tu bhool raha hai kya ki mere paas bhi teri girlfriend ka number hai... infact hum to kabhi kabar chat bhi karte hai..

(Whispers) Jannu.. do min mere saath aa na

Janvi: abhi?

Shiv: haa..

Janvi: ok jaa tu mai aati hu..
(They quietly go at some distance)

Janvi: kya hua?

Shiv: ek help chahiye hai..

Janvi: Yaar kabhi to koi kaam.khudse kiya kar.. accha bol ab kya help chahiye?

Shiv: Okayy so listen..

Shiv: thankss Jaaan. tu sacchi meri Jaan haii.. tere bina kya karta yaar mai?

Jannu: hmm I wonder that too.. (chuckles and they come back tk everyone)

Khushi: guys.. sabka khaana ho gaya hai.. chalo ab hum bhi kha lete hai..

Yash: ya ya bohot bhook lagi hai..

Kriti: mujhe bhii..
(They go to have some food)

Nihal: Guys.. why don't you both share food? I mean Kritss and Karan bhai.. You know bollywood se suna hai.. ek plate mein khane se pyaar badhta hai...

Kriti: Shut up Nihal.. (angrily)

Khushi: Are Are Aree.. kya galat bola bichare ne? Shayad pehli baar sahi baat ki hai.. come on.. share a plate.. hume per plate paise bachane hai.. (she takes dish from Kriti's hand and keeps back)

Nihal: I am always right buddy..

Yash: Yaa yaa.. chalo then it's decided.. Krits and Jiju will share..

Kriti: par...

Janvi: par var kuch nahi Kritss.. tum dono ek hi plate mein khaoge..
(Karan keeps smirking all the time)
Chalo sab log ab.. bohot discussion ho gaya.. (Karan and Kriti get busy deciding what to take in their plate)
Khushi.. sun na..

Khushi: haa di..

Jannu: tu reception ke baad mere saath chal sakti hai bahar? Actually mujhe thoda kaam hai aur mai akele nahi jaana chahti.. Karan ko bol nahi sakti aur Shiv bhi busy hai.. so please tu aayegi?

Khushi: sure Jannu di.. why not?

Janvi: thanks.. to hum khana khane ke baad chalte hai ok?

Khushi: yaa ok..
(They all go to the table. Kriti and Karan by default had to sit together. Other too taje there seats while Khushi is left with one seat next to Shiv)
Ohh shit.. kya kismat hai merii..
(She sits besides him)

Kriti: (in mind: In teeno ko to mai chhodugi nahi.. Khushi, Nihal aur Yash... Bada maza aate hai na mujhe aise awkward situation mein fasake? Chun chun ke badla lungi sabse.. ek hi plate mein khaana? Seriously? Par ye Nihal ab aise kyu dekh raha hai hame.. le to liya ek plate mein khana..)
(She was about to take her first bite when he stops her)

Nihal: Ruko ruko ruko..

Kriti: (in mind: ab iske dimaag mein kya chal raha hai? I swear I am going to kill this guy some day..)

Nihal: Guys.. aise kaise kha rahe ho apna apna?

Karan: (in mind: I like this guy.. iske bahane sahi mai Kriti ke saath kuch moments to beeta sakta hu..)
To kya kare?

Nihal: Hum kha lenge.. par tum khud nahi kha sakte..

Kriti: matlab? Hame bhi bhook lagi hai..

Nihal: haa.. isiliye tum khud nahi..

Khushi: ruko ruko.. Karan.. promise me hum jo bolenge wo tu karega..

Kriti: (in mind: kahi ye dono hume.. no no no.. red alert!)

Nihal: tujhe kisne pucha? Karan bhai ko jawaab dene de na..

Khushi: Please Karan... Apni behen ki ek baat to maan hi sakta hai na?

Karan: well mai teri har baat maanya hu Khushi.. jyada drama mat kar.. thike promise.. bol ab..

Khushi: Yesss!!

Nihal: Hum to bass chahte hai tum dono khud mat khao.. ek dusre ko khilao.. be romantic yaar.. shaadi hui hai abhi abhi tumhari..

Kriti: (in mind: What?? I knew it.. kyu nahi rokaa mainee.. ab sachme ye karna padega?)

Yash: What an idea sirji.. maan gaye tumhare shaitani dimaag ko..

Khushi: Yess.. so Karan, ready?

Karan: par..

Nihal: ab par kya..? Karan bhai.. khilao ab Kritss ko apne haato se..

Karan: haa lekin ek baar..

Nihal: Yaar aapki wife ko hi khilane ko bol raha hu.. kisi bhi random ladki ko khilane ki baat nahi kar raha..

Khushi: Exactly.. aur Karan tumne promise bhi kiya hai..

Yash: Haa Jiju.. come on.. waise bhi.. just a piece of advice.. jab tak aap aisa karte nahi, ye log aapka peecha chhodne se rahe.. to kar lo naa.. ye aapka sar kha jaaye usase accha hai aap Krits ke haath se khana kha lo.. nahi?

Karan: Krits.. are you ok with this?
(Kriti nods nervously)
Ok ok.. mai kar raha hu..

Kriti: You do.. don't have to do it.. ye dono to wai.. waise bhi idiots hai.. it.. it's okay..

Nihal: Kritss? hum idiots hai matlab? Come on yaar.. khaana hi khilane ko bol rahe hai.. thodi na sabke saamne tujhe kiss karne ko bol rahe hai.. mujhe bhi to pata chale tune jiske saath shaadi ki hai uske saath tu kaisi lagti haii.. hot shot couple ho bhi ya nahi..

(Kriti widens her eyes in shock)
Kriti: shut up Nihal!!

Karan: it's ok Krits.. kaunsi badi baat hai? Waise bhi maine promise kiya hai..

Yash: yeh hui na baat Jiju.. Bon Appetite!!

(Karan takes a spoon and was about to feed Kriti when Nihal stops him again)

Nihal: Aree aree.. ye kya kar rahe ho Karan bhai?

Karan: Are.. khila raha hu.. aur kya? Tumne hi to bola na khilane ko..

Nihal: haa par.. spoon se nahi.. haat se khilao.. aapka pyaar milake khilao hamari Krits ko..

Karna: kyaa?

Nihal: ohh god.. sab sikhana padta hai.. Khushi.. yaar tu to please aisa buddhu mat dhoondhna.. (Shiv coughs as he hears that and Khushi helps him with water) Here.. take this ladoo aur khilao Krits ko..
(Karan takes it and makes Kriti have it. She takes a small bite from the laddoo)

Khushi: Whatt? Tune abhi abhi laddoo ka itna sa piece khaya? Saare records tod diye yaar aaj to tune..

Karan: matlab?

Yash: Krittss.. teri tabiyat to thik hai na? Jiju you know Raksha Bandan pe mai khilata hu to ek bite mein pura laddoo muh mein daal leti hai yee

Nihal: (chuckles) Bhai chhod na.. bohot taang khinch li bichari ki.. kyu aur tang kar raha hai? Waise bhi laddoo ki yaad aate hi mujhe wo din yaad aata hai jab isne hamare hiss eke saare laddoo kha liye the

Kriti: How mean you both are guys? Mujhe tum logo se baat hi nahi karni..

Yash: sahi hai.. ab humse kyu baat karegi na? Ab to you have someone jo puraa time teri bak bak sunane ke liye tayar hai..

Nihal: hai na Karan bhai?

Karan: (in mind: tayar? Bhai mai to taras gaya hu.. ye ladki kuch baat to kare mujhse..)

Kriti: Tum dono na ab apna apna muh band karlo warna tum dono ko mai bhi khoob pareshan kar sakti hu.. and you won't be able to afford mere saath panga.. hai na?

Khushi: ok ok enough dhamki and taang kheechai.. ab jaan.. tu Karan ko khila naa..

Janvi: haa... Come on Kritsss

(Kriti picks up another laddoo from plate when they again stop her)

Nihal: Kritsss!!

Kriti: ab kyaa?

Khushi: Aree meri jaan.. dusra kyu le rahi hai? Karan ke pass jo hai wahi le naa.. Karan de na use..

Karan: y.. ya...

Kriti: Whatt? Khushi wo jhootha hai..

Khushi: haa.. isliye to keh rahe hai.. you know jhootha khaane se bhi pyaar badhta hai.. moreover I don't think Karan minds having your jhootha food..

(He forwards his hand with laddoo towards her and assuringly blinks and she takes it nervously and was about to feed him when Khushi again interrupts)

Khushi: Kriti sambhal kar hn? Actually Karan ko katne ki aadat hai.. jab bhi mai use khilati hu Functions pe wo kaat leta hai..

Karan: Wo mai jaan bujh ke karta hu tujhe.. aur tu kaunsi kam hai? Tu bhi to karti hai na?

Khushi: Oyee.. use revenge kehte hai.. aur shuru hamesha tu karta hai..

Kriti: umm.. Khushi.. ek kaam kar.. tu hi khila de naa.. dekh tujhe experience bhi hai..

Karan: kya? (Looking at Khushi)

Khushi: No No No..!! Ab tu hi khila.. mujhe apna haat katwane ka koi shoak nahi hai..

(Kriti makes Karan eat and he bites another small piece from same laddoo)

Khushi: Not fair bhaii.. katega sirf mujhe matlab?

Nihal: come on Buddy.. ab wo Krits ko jaha katega wo special hoga naa.. love bite.. haat pe thodi kategaa..

Khushi: ohhh.. ye baat to sahi hai.. my bad my bad.. (chuckles)
