Chapter 33
Everyone was busy in playing holi but Reyansh's mind was filled with mischief, he went to the man who was preparing the thandai and said in a dropping voice, "2 glass thandai de bhaang mila kar."
The man looked hesitant but Reyansh reassured blinking his eyes, "Tu kyu itni tension le raha hai mai to keh raha hoon tu bhi thodi bhaang pi le aur khush ho jaa."
The man was unassured but reluctantly prepared two glasses of thandai as Reyansh's ordered.
He happily took the glass and looked for his target when his eyes landed on Tia and Advait.
He grinned happily as his both targets were standing together.
Shreya was also with them, they were chattering and laughing with each other.
Shreya liked Tia's company but the thought of her being with Advait still lingered in the back of her mind.
Reyansh happily approached them, "Tum log bhi kya khaali khade huye ho ye lo thandai piyo." He forwarded the glass towards Tia. She grinned and took the glass.
Then he handed the glass to Advait who also took it happily, he looked at Shreya and said, "Ruko tumhare liye bhi le kar aata hoon."
"Nahi nahi bhai mai khud le lungi." Shreya replied smiling at him.
Tia gulped her whole glass in one breath and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Advait was about to took a sip when Arush called him from behind so he passed his glass to Shreya. She hold it and he left from there.
Suddenly Tia started giggling catching Shreya and Reyansh's attention.
"Kya hua has kyu rahi ho?" Shreya asked furrowing her eyebrows.
"Sab log kitne khush hai isliye mai bhi khush hoon." She replied giggling at the end.
"Bilkul sahi hume dusro ki khushi me khush hona chahiye." Reyansh said teasingly.
"You shut up!" She placed the finger on his lips making him froze by her touch.
Shreya looked at her suspiciously as she was behaving strange all of a sudden, absentmindely she took the sip of the thandai from the glass she was holding. Reyansh noticed that and widened his eyes.
"Shreya, wo Advait ka glass tha tum ne kyu piya?" He said in nervousness.
"Koi baat nahi wo dusra le lenge isey mai pi leti hoon." She replied.
"Haan haan piyo piyo ye bohot tasty hai." Tia said swinging to left and right.
Advait returned and a frowned appeared on his face when he looked at Tia, "What happened to her?" He asked to no one particular.
Shreya and Reyansh both shrugged and Tia jumped on Advait, "Advait apne is bandar jaise dost ko bolo na ki mujhse door rahe ye paas hota hai to mujhe-to mujhe dil me kuch kuch hota hai." She said moving her hands in the air, her voice was wavy.
Advait raised his brow and Shreya looked confused but Reyansh, he was froze on his place looking at her like as if he had seen a ghost.
"Tum-tumhe mujhe dekh kar dil me kuch kuch hota hai?" Reyansh asked with disbelief but the joy in his tone was noticeable.
She cutely bobbed her head and pressed her face in Advait's chest, "Maine bola na mujhe mat dekho mujhe kuch kuch ho raha hai." She blushed and hide her face in shyness.
Advait caressed her hair, "Tia, tune bhaang pi hai?" He asked in a low voice.
Shreya averted her eyes looking at her this closed with Advait, her grip got tightened on the glass she was holding. She took a long breath and gulped down the liquid in one go as if it was an alcohol. She wiped her lips glaring at Advait and Tia.
Reyansh was above the sky was an understatement. He was grinning like a mad person and staring at Tia with the unreadable emotions but his trance broke when Shreya started crying loudly.
Advait, Tia and Reyansh looked at her, "Kya hua aap ro kyu rahi hain?" Advait asked in concern.
"Kya hua, Shreya?" Reyansh asked.
Tia peeked her face from Advait's chest to look at Shreya, "Kya hua Shreya tumhe bhi Reyansh ko dekh kar dil me kuch kuch ho raha hai kya?" She asked innocently.
"Whatttt?" Advait and Reyansh shouted at the same time.
"Mere dil me dard ho raha hai." Shreya replied, her lower lip was trembling.
"Aww baby kya ho gaya?" Tia asked cupping her cheeks.
Shreya looked up at her with an adorable pout on her lip, "Inhone tumhe hug kiya hua tha na to mujhe dard hua."
Advait and Reyansh listen to them very carefully, "Accha hua maine bhaang nahi pi warna ye sab kabhi nahi sun pata." Reyansh mumbled under his breath.
"Ye sab tere hi kaam hai na." Advait glared at him.
"Ma-maine kuch nahi kiya." Reyansh stuttered.
Advait was about to say something when Tia pulled him by his arm and bumped him into Shreya, "Ye lo tum bhi hug karlo." She said to Shreya.
Shreya snaked her arms around him and leaned onto him grinning happily.
Advait's breath caught in his throat, his heart started racing speedily he protectively rested his hand on her waist when she stumbled a little.
Their eyes met with each other and the world around them faded away slowly.
They had lost in each other's world without caring about their surroundings.
But they jolted off when suddenly the music started playing loudly, when they looked at their front.
Tia was in the middle of the garden doing some reckless moves and showing off her dancing skills.
Reyansh was trying his hard to stop her but she was out of control.
Everyone was gathered on the sides and looking at both of them with judgmental eyes.
"Music!!" She shouted raising her hand in the air.
The music started playing loudly and she started moving her hips with the beats of the music. She went to Shreya's side and pulled her from Advait's embrace. They both got up on the stage and Shreya also started matching her steps.
Jo na karna tha kargi
Main bhi kit jya ke margi
Jo na karna tha kargi
Main bhi kit jya ke margi
Aachi khasi jattni changi
Ghani bawri hogi
Main ghani bawri ho gai...
They moved their waist going back and forth and slapped their foreheads lightly giving a mad expression. Tia playfully slapped Shreya's shoulder and she stepped back with the beat then they both mingled each other's arm and took rounds.
Roz sabere.. neem andhere..
Ghar se bhaagi me bhagi ghar se thaare waaste
Bina baat ke ke..
Beech raat ke ke..
Neend se jaagi me jaagi neend se thare waaste
Duniya ke bole?.. tu jaan de!
Mhaare dil ki jaan le
Shreya went to Advait who was standing awkwardly on his place, she lightly tapped his arm and pointed her finger towards the sky. She took rounds around him as if she was jogging and ended up falling in his arms.
Tia stood in front of Reyansh and pouted she snaked her arms around his neck, he passed her a sheepish smile. She placed her head on his chest and acted as if she was jolted awake from her sleep, she playfully swatted his chest and cupped his cheeks brushing her nose with his.
Main ghani bawli ho gai...
Shreya and Tia both again jumped on the stage and seated with crossed legs they started swinging their heads in rhythm and fell on each other.
Everyone was looking at them with open mouths. "Wow once more!" Aditya shouted from the crowd, Abhishek quickly covered his mouth from behind.
Advait and Reyansh stepped up on the stage and tried to hold them but they were laughing hysterically and not moving from their places.
Advait sighed and picked Shreya up in his arms. Reyansh mirrored his actions and picked Tia up in his arms. Everyone was gawking at them but they both ignored their stares and took them in the house.
"Advait isko bolo mujhe neeche utare warna mera dil uchal kar bahar nikal jayega." Tia mumbled lowly but loud enough for them to listen.
"Agar usne tujhe neeche utara na to tu uchal kar bahar nikal jayegi." Advait sarcastically said making her pout.
"Happy holiiii" Shreya said slugly.
Advait rolled his eyes.
"Tu isey guest room me le jaa." Advait ordered Reyansh referring to Tia.
Reyansh nodded and took her to the guest room. Advait headed to his room taking Shreya in his arms.
He opened the door and placed her on the bed. She sulked like a child, "Aapne mujhe neeche kyu utara mujhe acha lag raha tha aapke paas." She said.
He sat beside her raising his brow, "Acha ji?"
She nodded her head vigorously and jumped on him, "Yes, you're so warm and... comfy." She murmured burying her face in his shoulder.
Advait hesitated as she was not in her senses so he didn't feel it right, he gently parted her away from him and made her sat on the bed.
She cupped his cheeks and blinked rapidly, "Why you cho cute?" She cooed.
"Cute?" He chuckled amusingly.
"Yup you're chooooooo cute." She said dragging the word and spreading her arms to show him.
"But you're also bad." She said pouting and poking her finger on his chest.
He was silently listening to all her rubbish, his eyes were filled with pure affection for her. She was swinging on her sides but he protectively kept his hand on her arm to steadied her.
"Maine aisa kya kiya?" He asked softly.
"You hug Tia." She murmured looking down with teary eyes.
He narrowed her eyes but a small smile was there on his lips, "Are you jealous?"
"Thoda sa." She pinched her finger and thumb together to gesture.
He started laughing and she glared at him, "Mazak uda rahe hain aap mera." She sobbed dramatically.
"Hey hey I'm sorry please don't cry." Advait coaxed her.
But she started crying soundly, Advait cupped her cheeks and brushed away the tears with his thumb, "If you'll stop crying then I'll tell you a secret." He said.
She quickly wiped her tears and sat straight like an obedient child, "Mai nahi ro rahi." She said, her lips curved into an innocent smile.
"So the thing is you don't have to be jealous. Do you know why?" He asked as if talking to a kid. She slowly shook her head.
He leaned forward and whispered looking straight in her eyes, "Because you're special to me."
She instantly blushed and looked down, she covered her face with her both hands, "Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai." She said shyly.
"Abhi to maine kuch kiya bhi nahi ab aap abhi se sharmayengi to kaise kaam chalega." His voice was husky but tone was mischievous.
In the other room, Reyansh was sitting on the floor joining his hands and pleading, "Please devi ji neeche aa jaiye.
" He said to Tia who was standing on a table with a determined look.
She was standing straight pretending to be a statue, she was trying her best to not to move but the dizziness made her stumbled.
"Mai Eiffel tower hoon." She said.
"Whattt?" He asked to confirm what he had listened to was right.
She nodded her head, her hands were on her side, "Mai eiffel tower hoon." She repeated.
"Eiffel tower bolta nahi hai." He said giving her an obvious look.
"Acha...to phir mai statue of unity hoon." She thought for a second then said.
"Statue of unity bhi nahi bol sakta." He cleared.
She whined throwing her hands in the air, "To phir mai kya banu?"
"Insaan bano aur neeche aa jao." He pleaded.
"Nahi, mai... mai billi banungi." She said, Reyansh felt like banging his head on the wall.
"Aur phir tumhe panja maar dungi." A devilish smile was on her lips as she made a claw of her hand.
"Okay maar lena par pehle neeche to aa jaao." He begged.
She shook her head with a straight face.
"Dekho tum billi ho na to billiyan to neeche ghumti hai islie please neeche aa jaao." He made her understand.
She tapped her chin with her finger and thought, "Baat to sahi hai." She said and he sighed in relief.
"Okay catch meeeee." She sang and jumped but he caught her at the right moment. She looked into his eyes and narrowed her eyes.
"Billi to mai hoon na." She asked pointing towards herself.
He passed her a bored look but nodded.
"To phir tumhari aankhein billi jaisi kyu hain?" She said pointing towards his green orbs.
He sighed and said, "Ab jab tum billi bani ho to mujhe bhi to billa banna padega na." He lightly flicked her nose.
"Haaye mera billa." She cupped his face and kissed his cheek, it was a small peck but it all took him to fainted.
He fell on the floor, his hand rested on his heart.
She started laughing looking at his laying figure on the floor and fell on him, her eyes drooped off.
They both ended up on the floor sleeping on the each other.
