Raina's House

Naina glanced at Rajveer. She asked "movie? Wo bhi aaj? Mannu ko akela chodke"

"Are bachi thodi hai wo.. Khayal rakh sakti hai khudka" he replied.

"Come on Raj.. paagal hai bache usse ache hote hai sunte toh hai main nahi jaa rahi hun kahi bhi" she declared her decision.

"Thoda time iss pati ke liye bhi nikala karo.." he said making a face.

Naina shook her head in disappointment "uske saath rah rahkar tum bhi nautanki karne lage ho.." she spoke.

Rajveer smiled.. "Chalo na tickets hai.. Waste kyun karna?" he said requesting her.

"Thik hai chalti hun main but pehle uss ladki ko samjha dun" Naina said and moved to Manvi's room.

Rajveer smiled. These two were now meant everything to him. His wife, was his life and Manvi was more like a child to them then sister. Manvi's bubbly nature reminded him of his brother Aarav. He might me away from his home, but he was still connected by heart.

Naina headed into Manvi's room. She was watching television, Naina handed her glass of juice and some snacks.

Manvi smiled.. "Thanks di.."

"Acha sun.... Thodi der mein dinner leke so jaana samjhi.. Humhe aate hue der ho jayegi" Naina informed.

She shook her head positively.

Naina moved out of the room. After few minutes both left home leaving Manvi alone. Manvi heard the car sound.

She stood up from bed and jumped in excitement.. "Woohu.." then felt a pain in her wound.. "Ouchh.."

She took her phone and messages someone.. "Alone at home let's party"

After about half an hour, her friends came over. Manvi smiled seeing them. "Teen ghante hai hamare paas khoob masti karenge" she said.

"Ohho.. kaha hai tumhare di aur jiju?" her friend asked.

"Maine unhe movie date pe bheja hai" she replied giggling.

Manvi moved and turned on the music player. She played the loud songs and started dancing along with her friends.

Her friend took out the champagne bottle. Manvi's eyes popped out seeing it "Are ye kyun laayi? Di aur jiju ko pata chala na.. Mera murder kar denge" she said.

"Are kuch nahi hoga.. Try kar na yaar.." Meera offered.

Manvi denied "no means no.."

"Are mannu kuch snacks leke aa na kitchen se" Sneha asked.

Manvi nodded and went to the kitchen, meera smirked and mixed the champagne in her juice glass.

"Are isme thodi whiskey mila.. Maza aayega" Sneha said.

Meera mixed whiskey into the juice instead of champagne. Manvi returned and kept the bowl in front "ye lo.. Khalo"

She picked up her juice glass and drank it. After a while, she felt a bit different. It did its job, she had lost control over herself.

Here at the theatre, Rajveer and Naina were seeing the movie. Naina sighed as she was so bored seeing it. She stood up and moved out of the theatre. Rajveer followed her.

"Are kya hua?" he questioned her.

Naina turned to him and replied "ye kitni bakwaas movie hai.. How boring"

"Oh.. toh chalo tumhe tumhari favourite jagah khana khilata hun. Wo toh romantic hai na?" he said with a smile on his face.

Naina agreed "chalo.."

They headed to the food streets of Mumbai. They sat down on the bench and order some dishes.

Naina took her phone and called Manvi.

Rajveer glanced at her and asked "kya?"

"Wo phone nahi utha rahi hai.. Khana khane ke liye bolna tha usko" Naina informed.

"Khake so gayi hogi.. Bahut zyada sochti ho tum" he replied.

"Usko na kuch samajh toh aata nahi hai.. Puri pagal hai wo.. Aur jab tumhare saath mil jaati hai toh dono mujhe pagal kar dete ho" Naina said

"Ab wo toh right hai hamara.." he said winking at her.

She smiled and shook her in disappointed.

After the food, they headed to the beech and walked holding each other hands. They were looking at each other straight into their eyes. For a moment, it was just him and her together no one else.

Here at home, Manvi had broken a lot of things.

Naina broke the eyelook with.. "Kaafi time ho gaya hai ghar chalte hai" she said.

He kept his hand around her waist and pulled her closer "aise kaise?? Abhi toh bahut waqt hai.."

Naina sighed.. "No.. abhi ghar chalo"

"Are thodi der aur rukte hai na.." he requested.

"No Raj.. mujhe ghar jaana hai" she said and started walking towards the car. Rajveer sighed and followed her.

Within 20 minutes, they reached home. Naina found door unlocked that too at 1 am in the morning. She panicked and entered inside. She was shocked seeing the mess in the hall.

She saw Sneha Manvi's friend and asked "tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?"

"Sorry Di wo mannu ne bulaya tha tumhe party ke liye.." she said.

"Aur mannu kahan hai?" Naina questioned.

"Di wo toh puri talli ho gayi hai.. Maine kaha tha nahi pee par usne pee li" Sneha made up the story.

Rajveer entered and was shocked seeing the mess around. Few glass items were broken too. He thought "saali sahiba ne toh mera kharcha bada diya.."

"Are hai kaha ye manvi?" Naina asked in a low tone but with a tinch of anger visible in her voice.

They heard a voice from outside. They moved out and glanced up. They were left with open mouth, Manvi was sitting hanging her leg outside with the bottle in her hand.

"Ye ladki.. Pagal ho gayi hai kya.." Naina shouted.

Manvi looked down and smiled.. "Di.. I love you.."

"Upar jaa.. Gir jayegi" Naina said worriedly.

"Are.. nahi girungi kitna acha jhula hai" she said swinging her foot in and out.

Naina looked at Rajveer and said "tum dekh kya rahe ho. Kuch karo na"

"Haan haan jaata hun.." he quickly moved upstairs at the terrace.

Manvi laughed out loud "kitne ant jaise dikh rahe ho aap yahan se.. Aur ye meri dost Sneha.. Nahi naagin hai.. Meera chudail hai chudail.. Mujhe pareshan karte rehte hai party chahiye huh" she said.

Meera and Sneha eyed her. Naina signalled them to leave, they left the house.

"Are.. o bhaago nahi ruko" she stood up and missed her balance "Aah.."

Naina shouted "mannu.."

Rajveer held her hand on time and pulled her up, Naina took a deep breath and went inside.

Manvi looked at Raj and smiled.. "Jiju.. nahi zuzu.. Kanjus zuzu"

"Paagal ho gayi ho tum.." he said scolding her.

Manvi freed herself from him and started to cry.. "Aapne mujhe daanta.. Gande ho aap.." she ran downstairs.

Naina was standing there.. "Mannu.. Thappad khayegi.. Paagal" she said.

Manvi smiled.. "Paagal.." she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Paagal.. Ek gaana yaad aaya.. Kya khabar thi main paagal ho jaungi.. O paagalpan chod de warna pachtayegi.. Main paagal ho jayungi" she starting to sing.

Naina and Rajveer could not control their laughter. After few minutes, they saw her sleeping on the couch.

"Kal uthe phir leti hun iski class" Naina said covering her with a blanket.

"Zyada mat daantna.." he said.

"Please.. Ek toh mujhse bina puche isne doston ko bulaya.. Wo bhi mere peeche aur drink bhi kiya kuch ho jaata toh haan?" she questioned.

"Okay relax.. Mujhpe kyun baras rahi ho maine kya kiya hai" he asked innocently.

"Wahi tum kuch karte hi nahi ho.." Naina said shooting a deadly glare to him.

He smiled.. They headed to their room to sleep as it was very late.

The next morning, Rajveer got ready to leave for work.

He looked at Manvi who was still sleeping on the couch with the hangover. He smiled as he remembered a memory with his brother.

It was college farewell party, Anand was not permitting Aarav but Rajveer convinced Anand and allowed Aarav for farewell party.

It was 1 am when Aarav returned home, Rajveer was still awake and waiting for him. He kept the door open, Aarav entered inside making a noise.

Rajveer saw him and was shocked, he moved near to him and Aarav stood there silently.

"You are drunk..." Rajveer said.

Aarav smiled.. "No.." he denied.

Rajveer glared at him.. "Aarav.. Paagal ho tum.. Dad ko pata chala na khaal udher denge tumhari"

Aarav spoke.. "Hitler.. Laad governor.. Aur zulmi Dad.."

Rajveer sighed, as he is not in his senses and speaking anything but it is all truth.

"Dad uth gaye na.. Toh gadbad ho jayegi.. Chal andar mere saath" Rajveer said.

Aarav kept his head on his shoulder and started walking along.. "Bhai.. you are the best.."

They stopped when Anand's room door opened. Aarav shouted "hitler jaag gaya.."

Rajveer kept his hand on his mouth and hide behind the pillar. Anand walked to the study room. Rajveer had a sigh of relief he took Aarav to his room which was nearer.

Aarav started to sing.. "Yaaron main paagal ho gaya.. Ho gaya.. Dekho main ghayal ho gaya ho gaya.."

There was a knock at the door, Rajveer sighed.. He glanced at Aarav, if it's Anand then he will be in trouble. He opened the door after few minutes and Anand was there.

"Dad... aap iss waqt.." he said pretending to sleep while rubbing his eyes.

"Kuch awaaz aa rahi thi tumhare kamre.. Kaun hai?" he asked.

"Are nahi Dad kuch nahi hai.." he said.

"Aur Aarav lauta ki nahi?" Anand questioned.

"Haan Dad.. aa gaya bechara toh 11 baje hi wapas aa gaya tha aur soh bhi gaya hai.. Kalse office join karna hai usko" Rajveer made up the story.

Anand nodded, he looked here and there and left from there. Rajveer closed the door and locked it.

Rajveer rushed to the cupboard and opened it. He had no option, then to lock him inside. Rajveer smiled when he saw him sleeping there itself.

He came out trance of his thoughts with Naina's voice.

"Raj..." he looked..

"Chalta hun office.. Aur in madam ko bhi uthake office bhej dijiye" he said ruffling her hairs.

"Haan utha dungi.. Sham ko jaldi ghar aana" Naina said.

He asked "kyun??"

"Bas yuhi.." naina replied.

He kissed her forehead and left. He arrived at the office.

His secretary informed "Sir.. koi aapse milne ke liye wait kar raha hai.. Aap kahe toh main andar bheju?"

Rajveer asked "kaun hai?"

"Sir.. wo AS associates ke MD hai.." she said.

"Okay bhejo andar.."

After a while, someone enter inside and hearing the voice Rajveer was left shocked.. 

Hope you all liked it.
