A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 168

'Rohit!'

Sonakshi stood up to go towards him.

'Papa, Mom! Aap log kaisi baaten kar rahe hain? Pehle to barra saath de rahe thay hamara..ab kya..'

'Baat to suno..'
Veena protested.

'Mom! Aap bhi? Aap to..'

'Rohit! Mom, Papa ki baat to sun lo..'
Sonakshi put a hand out to touch his arm.

'Sona! I know ke hum dono dil or jaan se Arihaan ko accept kar chuke hain..magar har koi..mmpphhh..' he stopped as Sonakshi clamped her hand over his mouth.

'Rohit! Kya sab bolay ja rahe ho? Baat poori suni nahin or itna sab kuch bol diya..Mom or Papa, Arihaan ki naming ceremony celebrate karne ki baat kar rahe thay!'

Rohit moved his eyeballs one way, then the other way. Sonakshi moved her hand from his mouth.

'Oh?'
His mouth remained in a big 'O'.

'Rohit! Tu bara paagal hai, sachi! Na baat suni, na samjhi, bas machine gun ki tarha firing shuru kar di!'
Veena rolled her eyes.

Rohit had the decency to look sheepish.

'Sorry! Woh maine suna ke Arihaan ko iss ghar ka beta nahin maante..to ghussa agaya..sorry!'

'Han, to issi liye baat poori sunte hain na beta ji.'
Naren chided him.

'Sorry, na! Aap batayen na kya plan kar rahe thay..please!'

Sonakshi shook her head at him.

'Tum bhi na..ultay seedhay khayal chalte hain dimaagh mein tumhare..'

'Hojaati hai ghalti, yar! You know what I think of my son na..after you, he's my life!'

Sonakshi smiled at that.

'I know! Chalo aao, plan mein help karo na..'

'Pagal larka! Aisa hum soch bhi sakte hain kya? Arihaan mein to ab hum sab ki jaan hai, aisa soch bhi nahin sakte..kaise bol diya tumne?'
Veena said.

'Sorry na, Mom! Ab bachay ki jaan lo gi kya? Batao na aagay kya karna hai?'

'Bara acha lagay ga na tumhe, apne bete ke saamne maar kha ke..'

'Abhi chota hai..chal jayega..baad mein please, no okay?'
Rohit made puppy faces at Veena, who began to laugh.

They discussed the function, where close friends and relatives were to be invited, along with a pandit for the naming.

'Naam to hum rakh chuke hain..ab doosra naam bhi chunna hoga kya?'

'Rasam hai beta, you don't have to use that name..'

Rohit shrugged.

Arihaan woke up just then, and Rohit got lost with him.

             
            **************

'Kitna pyara lag raha hai na hamara beta?'

Rohit gave his finger to him, like he had seen Sonakshi do, and was ecstatic, when Arihaan grabbed it.

'Hmm..'
Sonakshi mumbled as she tied her hair.

Rohit turned and saw her do so.

'NO!'

Both Sonakshi and Arihaan got startled.
Arihaan made a crying face, and Rohit quickly soothed him.

'Aray! Sorry, sorry..aap ko nahin daanta..sachi! Mein to bas aap ki Mama ko baal bandhne se rok raha tha..'
