Entangled Hearts//IshqAan

Chapter 4

Today finally it was the day of Ishqi and Sonu's Sangeet.

A cacophony of laughter, music and the preparations among the crowd filled the Malhotra Mansion.

"Arre udhar nahi, hey bhagwaan!" Cried Chachi in disbelief seeing what Bhola was doing. "Woh uss table ke bagal mein rakh. "

"Ritu! Ritu! Sab taiyaari huyi ki nahi? " Came a call from Dadi.

"Ji, Mummyji, bas hone hi wali hai. " Said Chachi wiping her sweat with her Saree's pallu.

"Arre sab jaldi jaldi karo! Sarla Ji kabhi bhi aane wale hi honge. Aur tab agar kuch bhi baaki reh gaya na toh unhone phirse ek siyappa kardena hai. " Dadi left lecturing all of them to put their hands on and work faster.

"Mummy Ji, main mera wahi famous dance karun? " Immediately Chachu started showing a demo of his famous Dhinchak dance but to his misfortune, Daadi left him scolding without even noticing his dance.

"Bandar ki tarah lag raha hai tu. Nachna band kar aur kaam pe haath laga jaldi!"

"Kya karun inn logon ko leke? Dhang se ek kaam bhi nahi kar sakte! " Daadi said frustrated when Kartik came and kept a hand on her back.

"Chill bro! Relax! Kya huya? Boyfriend call nahi pakad raha? "
Kartik joked.

"Relax karega tu aur tera baap! Pata hai na agar Sarla Ji abhi yaha pahunch gaaye aur aise humare ghar ko dekh liya toh kitna bada tamasha macha ke rakh denge!"

"Arre yeh humara ghar hai, koi dulha thodi na hai, ki agar ready nahi huyi toh shaadi nahi hogi! Ainvi kuch bhi! "

"Tu chup kar! Khud toh kuch kam karta nahi upar se gande gande jokes maar raha hai! " Saying this, Daadi left.

Elsewhere it was seen that Mayank was standing outside Sonu's room.

"Ab jab Sonu washroom se niklegi tab woh soch bhi nahi sakti ki main uski kya halat karunga. Aur waise bhi abhi yahan pe koi nahi hai. Yahi sahi mauka hai. "

Sonu came out from the washroom but couldn't find her lehenga nearby. She called her Chachi but she was already busy in decorating the downstairs.

Sonu was arranging her jewelleries facing towards the dressing table.
"Kartik! Mera lehenga dena! Shayad Chachi apne room mein bhul gayi hogi."

Mayank came into her room after knocking to which Sonu responded in positive thinking him to be Kartik.

"Aaja, jaldi. Mujhe ready hona hai. Chachi niche busy hai aur main bhi na! Bhul hi gayi thi. Chal, ab thanks. Waise Raj aur uski family aa gayi kya? "

"Kya huya tere muh pe cellotape kyun bandha huya hai? Tuu.. "She stuttered seeing Mayank coming towards her after closing the door.

" Tu.. Tum? Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho? Aur Kartik? Woh kahan hai? "

"Ghabrao mat! Main toh sirf tumhe tumhari lehenga dene aaya hoon. See! " Mayank said showing her the dress.

"Ab jaldi se jaao yahan se. " Sonu said glaring at him.

"Agar nahi gaya toh? " Mayank came closer.

"Dekho dur raho mujhse haa! "

"Agar nahi gaya toh? Toh kya karlogi tum? " Mayank moved closer again and pinned her to a wall.

"Main, main Raj ko bata doongi! Aur woh tumhare liye accha nahi hoga. Isliye tumhari bhalai issi mein hi hai ki tum jaldi se yahan se nikal jaao aur apni badtameezi band karo. Sharam nahi aata tumhe? "

"Yeh sab kya keh rahi ho, Sonu? Tum nahi chahti main tumhare pass ayu? Tumhare kareeb aayun? " Mayank rubbed his finger on her cheeks. "Aise!"

Sonu pushed him away at that very moment and slapped him hard.
"How dare you! Get lost! Tumhari shaadi ho rahi hai Ishqi ke saath, tum usse help karne ke wajah mere saath badtameezi kar rahe ho! Sharam aani chahiye tumhe! "

"Sonu? Ready ho gayi kya? " Raj's voice came behind the door.

Sonu was standing still, frustrated and Mayank after passing a glare to Sonu prepared to leave from there but to his surprise, Raj holded him.

"Kahan jaa raha hai tu, haa? Kya laga jab bhi teri marzi hogi tu yaha ayega aur kisi ko kuch pata nahi chalega?" Raj said holding his collar.

He left Mayank's collar and said, "Yeh aakhri baar chhod raha hoon. Agli baar phir agar aisi behudi harkat karne dekha na toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga! Sab ke saamne tumhari mask utar doonga! Yaad rakhna! "

Mayank left from there getting furious.

"Mayank, teri fiancée kab aayegi? Tune pucha? " Ahaan asked while coming downstairs.

"Mujhe kya pata kab aayegi. Jab time hoga chali ayegi woh. " Mayank replied plainly and drank a glass of juice.

"Ajeeb baat hai! Mayank toh pehle Ishqi ke baare mein aise nahi bolta tha! Kya inn donon ke beech kuch ho huya hai? " He thought.

Kartik caught a glimpse of Ahaan and rushed to him.
"Kya bhai kiske khayal mein doobe ho? Rhea? Ya phir? "

"Main uss ladki ke baare mein nahi soch raha. Kitni baar bola hai tujhe, usske baare mein baat mat kiya kar. Par tu meri sunta hi kahan hai! Woh toh Mayank tensed dikh raha tha, isliye maine pooch liya. "

"Arre bhai! Saans toh lijiye pehle. Aapne itna lamba paragraph suna diya! Aur maine toh Ishqi ka naam bhi nahi liya! Matlab... Kuch toh hai! "Kartik whinned.

" Kuch nahi hai. Bass tera drama hai! Jaa aur jaake dekh Sonu taiyar huyi ki nahi. "

Meanwhile at Sonu's room, Raj went to her and engulfed her in a hug.
"Tum thik hona, Sonu? "

"Haan, Raj, I'm fine. Accha huya tum time pe aa gaya. Warna uska toh bharosa hi nahi hai. " Sonu said.

"I think tumhein yeh sab Ishqi ko bata dena chahiye. Aakhir uski poori zindagi ka sawal hai! Woh Mayank jaisa ladka deserve nahi karti. "

"Haan Raj, main bhi yehi soch rahi thi ki jitni jaldi ho sake bata doon warna bohut der ho jayega. Waise bhi Mayank Ishqi ko lekar bilkul bhi serious nahi hai. Uske saath agar shaadi ho gayi, toh Ishqi ka zindagi kharab ho jayega. "

"Thik hai toh ab tum ready ho jaao phir neeche jaake Ishqi ko sab saaf saaf bata dena, okay? " Raj told in a soft voice.

Sonu nodded in consent giving him a small smile.

Sarla Ji came and said to Dadi, "Taiyyari acchi hi ki hai aapne, bass thoda kami reh gaya hai. Par koi baat nahi, sab ki taiyyari toh humare jaise nahi hoti hai na! "
Ginny smiled and gave her consent.

"Chinta mat kijiye Aunty, udhar dekhiye, aa gayi hai woh jiske wajah se thi iss ghar mein kuch kami. "
Kartik said pointing towards Sonu who came downstairs wearing her attire which grabbed everyone's attention.

"Wah, bohut pyaari dikh rahi hai! " Praised Sarla.

"Woh toh hai hi humari Sonu! " Daadi said. "Par Suman Ji aapki bahu dikh nahi rahi? "

"Aur woh rahi Dulhan No. 2 jo hai, Ishqi! " Kartik shouted and Ahaan immediately turned towards Ishqi.

Ahaan got mesmerized seeing her and for a moment he got oblivious about everything that was around him.

"Bhai! Itna bhi mat ghuriye! Nazar lag jaayegi. " Kartik smirked.

Ahaan passed his brother a glare and removed Ishqi from his sight. But can he remove her from his mind? His thoughts and maybe, from his heart?
