Thirty Eight

"We need to do something!"

It was early morning and Roo was at Zileh's house, getting ready to go to the  the rented place where Charlie was hosting the Holi party. It's like a tradition for Roo to go straight to Zileh's place along with her outfits and everything she needed to change from there while gossiping with Zileh. Or in this case, plotting.

"They did not say a word to each other all through breakfast! Not a word! Bhai didn't scold Jeeju for eating pancakes with both syrup and Nutella and Jeeju didn't make any comment on Bhai's no sugar orange juice. Like, that's not normal, is it?"

"That's the opposite of normal Roo! This is getting out of hands!"

Zileh said curling her hair.

"Is there any plans to make them fight again?"

When they got Zayn and Liam to marry each other, their plan was to finally put an end to their fights. And here they are planning to make them fight again. Oh how the curtains have burned! (Yes, that's the new 'tables have turned.' Roo was bored of the old one.)

"I have a plan, but it's not to make them fight, but for my darling nephew to finally confess!"

"What!? Confess what!? Is he in love with Liam Bhai? Did he say so? Zileh I'll cry, please tell me!!"

True, Roo has got Zayn as her Jeeju. And yes she loved them together. They're her favourite ship! But she knew they weren't there yet. The confession part got her all excited!

"Well, he didn't say in exact words. But I'm sure he is in love with Liam. Poor boy is all bothered because of this new guy, what's his name? Chaplin?"

Room snickered knowing well Zileh knew Charlie's name. She was just siding with Zayn and calling him names.

"Charlie, Zileh! And my, he's hot!"

"Oye! Don't go fangirling over him now. That so called hotness is ruining all our plans. By now Zayn and Liam might have gone to their honeymoon to Miami if this guy hadn't shown up!"

Roo nodded thoughtfully. She didn't know much. But one thing she knew was that her Jeeju did not like Charlie at all. And the reason is probably because the guy seemed close with Liam. She has seen how Zayn's face would get when Charlie is mentioned at the dinner table by her Baba.

"So what are we doing to eliminate this threat? What's your plan Commander Zileh?"

"The good old Holi plan, Commander Roo!"

Roo smirked knowing exactly what she was talking about. The good old Holi plan never fails. Holi is going to be the Ziam day!

Zayn buttoned up his white shirt, bored. He was never bored on Holi. Damn Charlie! And damn Liam! He's probably going to get a scolding from his Ammi for wearing jeans and not kurta-pajama. But he didn't have it in him to dress up. He's not going to play Holi anyway. This is just for everyone to see he has joined them. And he'll probably just stick with Louis and just watch him enjoy. And he's also going to break the tradition. His favourite tradition of drowning Liam in colours.

Every year Liam tries in vain to escape Zayn's plans. Every year Zayn makes sure to attack Liam with water balloons and get Liam drenched in water colour. Every year, some how, it was always Zayn and Liam putting colours on each other first, even before their families did. And this year, it's all going to break.

"Zayn, everyone's waiting."

Liam stood near the door waiting for Zayn. He was wearing a traditional white kurta-pajama like the good boy he is. Zayn almost made a comment on it and mentally patted himself on the back when he controlled the urge to comment on it.
