A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 169

Rohit hurried over to his father.

'Papa..woh..'

'Nahin, Rohit!'
Naren thought Rohit had come to stop him.

The ladies had started looking at each other, and talking amongst themselves.

'I'm not here to stop you! Yeh log kab se iss tarha ki baaten kar rahe hain..'

Veena came hurrying over.

'Kya hua, Naren? Ghussa kyun..'

'Veena! Aise logon ko bulana hi nahin chahiye..jo sirf gossip or bura bhala bolne aate hon..'

'Relax! Woh..'

'Kaise relax? Mere bahu bete or potay ke baare mein anaap shanaap bolaingi, or mein sunta rahun?'
Naren wasn't having any of it.

'Mein to bas..'
Veena tried cooling him down.

Sonakshi came hurrying over to Veena.

'Mom! Maine Rohit ko bohot roka, magar phir Papa..'

'To theek kiya na, Sona! Aise logon ko aise hi samjhaya jaata hai!'
Rohit took Naren's side.

More people were turning around to watch.

'Naren bhaisahab, hum to bas itna keh rahe thay ke..'

'Ji! Sab ne hi sun liya hoga aap ne kya kya kaha! Yeh Sippy House hai! Or yahan rehne wala har ek member, mera apna hai, iss family ka hissa hai! Or koi bhi bahar wala aake un pe ungli uthaye, woh mein bardaasht nahin karsakta!'

Sonakshi, Rohit and Veena watched, as Naren put his palms together.

'Aap logon ko hamare potay ko bless karna hai, to rukiye..warna darwaza uss taraf hai..'

Rohit was stunned to hear his father's words.
The ladies made faces and got up.

'Kaise log hain! Bulaate hain phir beizzat kar ke nikaal dete hain!'
One woman said.

'Kisi ne beizzat nahin kiya aap ko! Or Papa to aap ko bohot izzat se bol rahe hain jaane ke liye..to please!'
Rohit gestured to the doorway.

The three ladies huffed and finally left.

Sonakshi turned to Naren.

'Thankyou, Papa!'

'Aray, thankyou kyun? Jaise tum sab mere liye, waise hi Arihaan hai! Uss ko koi bura bhala kahe mujhe manzoor nahin hoga!'

Rohit came to hug Naren as well.

'Thanks, Papa!'

'Ab chalen? Muhurat na nikal jaaye naam rakhne ka..'

They all smiled and went back to where the pandit was ready with the birth chart.

Suman had been holding Arihaan. She now handed him over to Sonakshi, while the pandit began to speak.

'Naren bhaisahab ne kitne achay se sambhaal liya. Tumhara beta kafi lucky hai, Sona!'

Rohit sat next to Sonakshi, as  the pooja was completed.
They waited with bated breath, as the pandit proceeded to tell them the letter with which the name should begin.

They sighed in relief, and there was cheering, when the letter turned out to be 'A'.

'Yes! Now we don't have to give him another name! Arihaan Sippy it is!'
Rohit looked down at his son, sleeping peacefully in Sonakshi's lap.

Sonakshi smiled down at the love shining in Rohit's eyes, for his son.

Thankyou God!
