It was 10:30 am when everyone gathered at the dining area. The maids kept all the food on the table and left, as they needed to be back for cooking lunch.
Ishu- where were you? Kahan se aa rahe ho?
Alay- just roaming around as I wasn't sleepy. Yahan baithke kya karta.
Maa aap mami Or vani ke sath market ghumne zarur jaana. The market here is very nice. Vani would love it. There are a few artisans here.
Vani- baba please chaliye na.
Kabir- baba ki jaan hum zarur jayenge. Lunch ke baad thoda rest karke fir chalenge.
Nina- Haan bhai. Vani tum apna camera sath me le lena. You can capture the scenery and the market aesthetics.
Vani- haan mami, great idea. That will improve my photography skills.
Dekhna, I will become a famous photographer.
Kabir- bilkul. Meri beti bohot talented hai. She can be anything she wants.
Vani- you're the best baba. I love you the most.
( I kissed his cheeks and he kept feeding me)
Kabir- ek or paratha khaogi?
Vani- I am full baba. Thank you.
Kabir- ( I kissed her head.)
Meri gudiya.
Nina- ( samar was staring at Kabir with puppy eyes)
Bhai jalne ki smell aa rahi hai.
Adi- kisika dil jal raha hai bhabhi. Haina princess?
Ishu- koi mere sammy pe nahi hasega. Apko kya pata kaisa feel hota hai jab, aapke hisse ki attention kisi or ko milti hai.
Alay- so will you get jealous of our kids in future?
Ishu- of course I will be jealous. Tum pehle mere ho baadme bachhon ke. Agar tumne mujhse zyada ehmiyat kisi ko di toh mene tumhara sukoon barbaad kar dena hai.
Kabir- achha.
Ishu- bilkul baba.
( then I realized, I said all these things in front of the whole family. They all were staring at me and chachu was having a teasing smile)
Adi- toh kitne bachhe chahiye hamare ishu ko?
( he was so shy that he went inside his room. We all were laughing at his cuteness)
Bhabhi jaldi shaadi karwa dijiye inki. Apka beta toh future plan karke baitha hai.
Sameer- it's too early adi. They are still young.
Nina- ishu will be 31 soon. Alay is 24 now.
Sameer- Alay is young for marriage nina. He is just 24. Yeh koi age nahi hai shaadi ki responsibility nibhane ki.
Alay- nice thought Mr singhania. But I know how to fulfill my responsibilities.
Kabir- Shaant ho jao Alay. Itna gussa achha nahi hai.
Alay- then ask him to not always make excuses to keep us away.
Pehle hi bohot kuch kar chuke hai and ab yeh age factor ka naya bahana. I am not dumb baba, that I can't see what he is trying to do.
Dilse abhi bhi accept nahi kiya hai inhone. He is just compromising , don't even lie, mene khud apko kehte huye suna hai mami se. Me chup sirf mere ishu ke wajah se hu, taaki ap dono ka rishta kharab na ho.
Samar- bhai kya yeh sach hai?
Nina- ( he didn't say anything)
Sach hai yeh. He has just said yes only for ishu. Dilse khush nahi hai.
Alay- ( I stared at him in the eye)
Chahe joh karle aap, unhe mujhse koi dur nahi kar sakta.
Sameer- ( saying all that he went from there. He is fearless and crazy)
Adi- kyu usse apna dushman bana rahe hai aap?
Samar- ( he was all quiet and his behavior really disappointed me. Achha hua vani pehli hi room me chale gae)
Bhai just one request. It's his birthday, just don't make him sad by your behavior. Chaliye Kabir.
Nina- me vani ke room me jaa rahi hu.
Adi- bhai akhir problem kya hai?
Sameer- Problem yeh hai ki mujhe unka rishta nahi jam raha hai adi. I won't lie, I am trying my best to completely accept them.
Jab Alay uska dhyan rakhta hai and when ishu smiles around him, it all feels good. But, I have always considered them as brothers.
Adi- bhai or samar ka bhi same hi scene hai. Aaj dekhiye kitne khush hai dono. Apni family banai hai.
I agree kaafi problems bhi aae hai but woh saari problems unka rishta tod nahi paae hai. Aap dekhna Alay hamare ishu ko bohot khush rakhega. He is crazy for ishu.
Sameer- hmm.
Adi- let's go out for sometime. You will feel fresh. Itna tension lene ki zarurat nahi hai bhai. Chaliye.
IN ISHU'S ROOM-
Ishu- baby, stop sniffing me. It tickles.
Alay- let me calm down janam.
Ishu- pichle 20 min se yahi keh rahe ho. Kya hua hai?
Alay- kuch nahi. I am just tired from all the travelling. Just hold me baby.
Ishu- ok.
( he tightened his hold on me and i was feeling restless looking at him. Surely something has happened.)
They all had lunch together and Alay didn't even looked at sameer. Everyone except ishu and vani were aware about the tension between the 2 men. They were surprised looking at Alay's calm demeanor which was completely opposite of what he had in the morning.
After lunch, Alay and ishu were sleeping and adi took sameer with him. Kabir took samar, nina and vani to the market which Alay mentioned in the morning. It was around 5:30 pm when Alay and ishu were awake. Alay asked ishu to get ready, as he wanted wanted to take him to the lake.
Ishu- it's beautiful. Yeh blanket yahan arrange kyu ko hai? Are we gonna sit here?
Alay- let's lay down
( he laid his head on my chest and I held him close to me)
Aap khush hai na mere paas? Me apko uncomfortable toh nahi feel karata hu na?
Ishu- ( I pecked his lips.)
Tum meri zindagi ho alay. Tumhare bina rehne k bareme me sochna bhi nahi chahta. I just want you.
Bohot badi galti ki thi past me mene. I shouldn't have married and hurt you. But I promise to be with you always.
Alay- i will make sure you are always with me. No one can take you away from me.
Ishu- ( we were just laying there in each other's arms. It felt so good. I never knew silence could be this peaceful. I saw the time and it was 7:30 pm.)
Baby let's go back. We have a family dinner and cake cutting.
Alay- is the cake cutting necessary? You know I don't like it.
Ishu- I know. But I wanted it as it's your first birthday as my partner. I want it to be good. Let's go.
Alay- ( we reached home and saw maa and mami setting the table and giving finishing touches to the cake. Maa is the one who prepared it.
We got ready and came down. To see everyone present)
Adi- handsome lagra hai champ. People will go crazy for you.
Alay- I don't care about them. I just want ishu's attention and love.
Samar- let's cut the cake.
( he cut the cake and fed the first piece to Kabir then me and vani. He made ishu eat the cake and later adi and bhabhi. He didn't go near bhai.)
Ishu- baby, dad ko nahi khilaya tumne. Go on.
Alay- haan, abhi khila deta hu.
Sameer- ( he smiled at ishu and he became all serious when he looked at me.)
Happy birthday.
Alay- thanks.
Adi- ( he was so angry with bhai but once he turned towards ishu he was all smiles.)
Champ this is your gift.
Alay- thanks chachu. This is a beauty.
Nina- yeh meri or sameer ki taraf se.
Alay - thanks mami. It's beautiful and elegant.
Vani- bhaiyu i made this for you. Baba dijiye na.
Alay- itna bada gift lae hai meri princess ki baba ko uthana padh raha hai
Vani- hope you like it bhaiyu.
Alay- ( it was my photo which was attached to a big frame.)
This is an amazing click princess. Kab click kari yeh picture.
Vani- well that's my talent bhaiyu. I am glad you liked it.
Alay- I love it baby.
Samar- ab meri baari. This is for you
Alay- you painted me. Maa this is so perfect. I love you maa.
( I kissed his head. He did such hard work)
Kabir- I didn't brought anything. Joh chaho maanglo.
Alay- I just want a promise that you will always support me and stand by my side.
Kabir- I will but when you are right. If you are wrong I won't support you.
Vani- bhai aap kya laaye ho?
Alay- he gave his gift at exact 12 am.
Ishu - I have a gift for you.
Alay- ( he removed the chain from his neck and kept that ring on my palm. I felt so happy and touched)
You sure about this? It's not just for my happiness right?
Ishu- a 1000â sure.
( he made me wear it and hugged me tightly in front of everyone and kissed my cheeks.)
Alay- i love you baby. You are the most precious person for me.
I also have something for you. Wait here I will be back.
Samar- yeh kahan gaya? Ishu any idea? Or yeh ring ka kya scene hai?
Ishu- he said to give it to him when I am fully ready for our relationship.
I don't know what he is doing.
( he came back with few papers)
Yeh kya hai alay?
Alay- I bought a small cabin for us which is 8 kilometers away from here. It's the co owner papers. I need your signatures on thsi.
Ishu- baby, that's yours. You cannot just make me the owner of it as well.
Alay- I bought it for us janam. Relax, whatever is mine, is yours anyway. Just sign it and I will register these.
Kabir- kab kiya yeh sab? Bataya nahi.
Alay- surpise tha baba. Kal hum wahan jaa rahe hai. Aaj subah me wahan ka kaam dekhne gaya tha. I made sure everything is perfect before you guys enter.
Adi- congrats buddy. Amazing champ.
Alay- thanks chachu. Baby, come on sign it.
Nina- kardo ishu. Itne pyaar se usne sab prepare kiya hai. Aaj birthday hai iska, mana mat karo usse.
Ishu- ok.
( I signed those papers and he looked very happy.)
Alay- I love you so much.
Kabir- let's have dinner.
Ishu- ( we had our dinner and played a few board games. It was around 1 am when we called it a night.
Once we reached out room, Alay was all over me. We were making out like crazy.)
What's gotten into you?
Alay- you made me so happy baby. Yeh ring dekar. I will talk to baba about our marriage. Aap khush toh ho na?
Ishu- me bohot khush hu.
Alay- I liked this gift of yours the most.
Ishu - this is your actual gift.
Let's sleep it getting late. Kal subah hamara gha r dekhne jaana hai.
Alay- I like the sound of it.
Hamara ghar.
( he slept on my chest and I kept looking at him)
