"My express train wait, let me call my detectives Ravi and Anamika first," picking up the phone Mr. Singh said.
He called up Ravi and Anamika and put them on a conference call. "Blessings children, how's everything at your end ? Made plans for coming to celebrate Diwali here??? Now Harjot is also here. She has got some plans, let's hear out. I'm also putting her on conference and even Navi. "
"Hi, Bhai, how are you doing and before we start who's Anamika?"
"She is just a common friend of Navi and she's taking as my girl friend, soon to be a special one" the last part he uttered under his breath. Only Anamika could hear as she was sitting in the same cabin. Harjot told them the plan and asked for their opinion. Everyone agreed to it then Harjot asked her dad and Navi to keep the phone saying that she has to give them her shopping list. Once both of them were out of the earshot, she told them the further plan which was supposed to be hidden from Navi as
38Ravi was one of those lawyers who, the moment took the case in his hands or under him the case was set to win. For he took only honest cases, no illegal business, he believes in," lawmakers are not law breakers".But on the other hand, looking at Anamika only makes him break all the laws, even those unsaid. Ha what an irony. Love you man!Finally the shopping was done but before coming out of the showroom, Rajveer got a message on his WhatsApp and he just nodded as instructed. Another packet was ready which was given to Ravi without uttering a single word. Anamika thought maybe something for his sister.Once they were done, Ravi took her to his place despite Anamika wanting to stay at one of the lodges. He said," my house is not that big but it welcomes the guests with open-heartedness." Leaving no room for arguments, Anamika agreed. On the way, Ravi bought fruits and juices and offered her, she was like, "we just had our evening snacks, what do you ta
39"Who was admiring you? I've better things to look around.""Oh really, like what?" Coming closer he said. She was backing off till her knees touched the chair and she sat and he was almost looming over her. "You were saying, anyway you're also looking ok." Playing with her flick that came loose, he said."Who asked your opinion? By the way, thanks for the dress. I'm surprised…" she abruptly stopped herself from asking him about the right measurements he had of her. She and her big mouth."Now, if you can sit properly, I can talk to you. Don't loom over me." She was almost trapped. Ravi smirked and sat next to her. "So, what were you saying that you were surprised….hmm.""Nothing, let's see what Harjot and Navi have sent me and how to make the plan work!"Ravi was amazed how she transformed from her kiddish behavior in the garden to a glamorous girl even in her pajamas.Together, they checked and ticked the list and by
40By evening you've to type the final documents.do that's the reason I want to finish off with the case file of Mr. Verma, so that we can relax and by the way I've to ask for your opinion also regarding Neelakshi."."What do you think about Rajveer? I know that he and Neelakshi are interested in one another. It seems that you are available, so why not your opinion? ""We in that case , both are mature enough to speak out their minds, let them don't poke in your nose in their affair. ".He was just praising her for she openly spoke her mind without any botheration. He, being the elder brother, was worried about her future.Though Anamika said so but she was impressed by his behaviour."Sir, your files have been kept in the study." The servant cane and informed."Ok, thank you " , then he turned to Anamika and said,"ready to meet the challenge?""For sure, and when I know I'm going to win.""Let's see." Ravi was glad that
41"Ok mom, but why so fuss?""Nothing special, it's just you look pretty in proper dresses.""Just see my Navi, she looks so pretty.""Radha aunty adopt me, someone is taking my place,o no.." dramatically she kept her hand on her forehead.Everybody laughed, " stop being dramatic darling, you are my chirpy bird and you'll remain but yes Navi is now special to me, dare you say anything, Radha and Navi let's get her married to the first handsome hunk whosoever comes first.""Done aunty.' Navi said winking at Harjot and got the glares. Together in harmony the food was prepared. Variety of dishes and sweet dishes were all done . Preparations for naan and chicken curry were already done in the morning and half of the workload was covered.As the breakfast was heavy they skipped lunch.Navi and Harjot made some snacks and cakes.Later, everyone went to change and get ready to welcome the guests. Both the girls were looking so
42While talking they hardly reached the flat. Harjot's mobile started ringing, Navi gave her a teasing look.Harjot was a bit hesitant to pick the call, Navi snatched her phone and put it on speaker mode," hi cracker, so missing me???" Before Harjot could reply, "no." Navi imitated her but to her utter surprise, Ranjeet said, " Navi g I have known Harjot from the last ten years. So, I'm even familiar with her breath. ." Navi said, " Welcome to the club of love birds." She then gave the phone to Harjot laughingly and went ahead to open the flat.Harjot was walking slowly, when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, before she could shout, her mouth was gagged and then she saw Ranjeet there. She took a deep sigh and removing his hand, she said," what are you doing here? If anyone sees you then,go back please." He silenced her with a soft peck on her lips and said, " give me my answer. ""Which answer?""Well, I… that one."
The best of colours, unique hand embroidered suits and sarees were there to choose from. Sukh had invited Bhels also to choose the dresses for Drisha and Ranjeet's mom.They had also reached with gifts for Harjot and family. Drisha gave a huge hamper of chocolates to Harjot with a naughty smile. Harjot bit her lower lip and accepted it. Before she could type thank you, she received a message from Ranjeet," enjoy your time with chocolates, many more are waiting for you."By the time dresses were chosen and designers went away. it was time for dinner, they invited Bhels to have dinner with them. Everyone was having dinner when there was the honking of cars, Navi ran upstairs and quickly changed her dress, covered herself with the long veil and came down wearing heavy anklets.She saw Hardeep through the veil and was very happy. She saw Anamika's smiling face and her hands were itching to meet her. Then she saw how Sunny and Priya , Lucky and Pooja also greeted eve
44He kissed her deeply on her flushed lips and said '' before I lose control, get inside and we'll meet the day after tomorrow. " Both Navi and Anamika were enjoying and Navi hooted so loudly that both love birds blushed and Harjot ran inside the flat and Ranjeet just gave a flying kiss and walked away with a smile on his face.Now Harjot was the target, both the girls started teasing her.Later on Anamika gave Harjot the packets she asked for. Navi asked but Harjot said,"darling, these are for me as you suggested to call Anamika so I did that. "She winked at Anamika."Hey, I want to go and kiss my man." Navi said. Both the girls looked at her as if horns were on her head. But seeing her adamant look, Anamika called Ravi and asked him to come to the flat.Once Ravi came , he was like,"is everything ok.?""Yes, Ravi bhaiya, I want to meet my man without letting him know now."Ravi thought for a moment and said,"ok come, wear y
45Radha was happy that Mandeep and her brother and sister in law were coming. They also have to feign as if they are seeing Hardeep for the first time, especially Navi's parents; they have to show that they were Vani's (Navi's fake name for Hardeep) parents.Everyone was excited, girls for henna, guys with the decorations and parents thanking God as their kids were getting married.Before leaving for henna , Navi and Harjot instructed the cooks to use less oil and less spices, the girls also told them to keep on serving the guests, with fruits, juices, snacks, tea, coffee or milk and to wear gloves and masks while cooking and serving. Radha and Sukh were amazed to see how girls were managing everything smoothly.The girls were literally thrown out of the kitchen to get henna done. Lucky and Sunny were now sort of free as they managed everything properly regarding the decorations then they took permission and went to Ranjeet's mansion also, which was near
