Chapter 3 - Aye jamaye jee aye

Siddharth was aware of how crazy Shenaaz's family was. He heard it, seen it in the form of Shebaaz and Shenaaz but to actually witness was a little too much.

The drive was long, and that why he and his sister would switch after a little while. Their night stay at the hotel wasn't also much comforting.

He shared the room with Shenaaz, who was not surprising, very excited. He thought that she might actually faint from the elated feeling.

When they were back on the road, Shenaaz spoke of her younger stories. How she used to visit maybe once in four years because of her parents. Though she was not loved at her maternal grandmother's house.

At her paternal grandparents, she was the star, and that was what Siddharth was witnessing right now.

When they arrived, Shebaaz whistled to everyone and shouted of their incoming. Next everyone appeared with flower necklace and petals to throw on them.

Finally when they had entered, after having Shenaaz signed lots of autographs and Siddharth too, it was time to meet the actual family he had heard so much about.

First up was Shenaaz's grandfather. He had that strict look on his face, if he hadn't known better, Siddharth would've assumed he was the lead authority.

"Sasri kal saria nu",the old man greeted joining his hands togther. "Sadi Shenaaz di dekh bhala karana liyai shukriya".

"Aray nahi. Shenaaz itni achi bachi hai",Rita aunty spoke, patting Shenaaz on the shoulder. "Hum mein apko thankyou bolna chahiyai, issko humaray yahan rehne dene ke liyai".

The old man nod, smiling politely. Siddharth was able to get a close look when he did that. True to Shenaaz's word, this man was handsome.

He had that tall built, and lean body shape. And every hair that was visible on him was white. Even his eyelashes were white. Was that even possible?

"Handsome hai na mera dada",she boosted nudging Siddharth in the arm.

"Handsome aur kaafi bhuday bhi hein",Siddharth commented. Shenaaz threw a glared and moved on.

Next was the very famous grandmother. The tall, thin, chest out proudly women walked down yhe Haveli stairs and stood in front of Siddharth.

That imitated him but he stood his ground.

"Munda ta bohat hi chunga da",the older women comments. "Takata sari lagdi hai",she said and then held on Siddharth's muscular arm.

She inspected it, touching and then squishing it. At one point she even pinched him. He controlled the curse word leaving his mouth.

"Sasrial kal jee",the women greeted. "Myself Shenaaj di dadi".

"Hello",Siddharth greeted back. "Ap bohat pyari hein".

"Mainu pata hai, par mainu janda nahi kessay jari budday haatha agaye mein",she said seriously looking over to Shenaaz's grandfather.

So this was the beef Shenaaz told him about, Siddharth thought. He was gonna love this.

The family continuted to greet each other at the door.

"Aray andar chaltay hein. Hum ne nashta tayar karlia hai",Shebaaz said, when the heavenly smell of 'saag' came.

"Haan",Shenaaz agreed.

When everyone was finally seated, the food was served and as favouritism was shown, Siddharth's plate was filled to brim. Her grandmother and mother kept pouring more for him, till he was sure he'd burst.
