Chapter - 1 : Jasn - a - baharaa

Malabar Hills ki sham aaj rangeen hai. 

A great party had been thrown by Mittal's which is actually a surprise cum shock for their neighbours as the two ladies only celebrate their father's birthday and it's not their father's birthday today. Fir kyun itna kharcha kar rahi hai dono?

Chache kuch ho, people are enjoying the party. Despite Anamika's denial Girish invited their relatives and friends, both Bulbul and Anamika were super furious at the fact aur Girish ji darr ke maare kamre mei chupe hue hai, chara bhi kya bacha unke pass. 

Anamika knocks on the door for the 20th time, shouting for her father who's not ready to reply. 

''Papa, come on at least aab bahar aao aap, aapke inn rishtedaar ko aap hi sambhal sakte ho hamare bass ka nahi hai ye.'' She shouted, her blood boiling in anger as the relatives were constantly asking about Girish. Bulbul asks her to convince Girish and bring him to the party while she herself was busy with some client's, aab party bhi unki wajah se rakhi hai toh unka dhyan rakhna padega na.

''Nahi, tu dantegi mujhe main nahi aauunga!'' Girish denied straightly.

Anamika let out a sigh,''main nahi dantungi papa, open the door. Sab aapke liye puch rahe hai, please Papa!'' Anamika requested softly, she doesn't want to create any scene and lose the deal. 

After a moment, Girish opens the door and allows her in. She was holding a bag which she forwarded to him. 

''Get ready and please thoda jaldi, sab wait kar rahe hai, cake bhi cut karna hai na.'' She states, Girish nodded and headed towards the changing room holding the bag. 

Anamika adjusted the bed and set the room which was in a mess, actually their father is a mess in himself while the girls are amicable. Anamika wonders if they were exchanged in hospital, Girish wonders the same, bechare bol nahi paate wo baat alag hai. 

A moment later, Girish enters the room getting ready. Anamika sets his tie and hair, he needs to look perfect after all he's Girish Mittal, owner of Mittal Group of Industries, 8 international hotels, 36 restaurants in different countries. He needs to look classy. 

''Papa, don't drool around guys. Har dusre se puchne maat baithna shadi hui ki nahi and obviously Vaani aunty se toh dur hi rehna. Don't pull out the shadi puran, Di ka birthday hai aaj gadbad hui toh aapke rishtedaar boycott ho jaayenge ghar se hamesha ke liye so please behave!'' She instructs him. 

Dekha jamana kya aa gaya hai aab beti baap ko party mei kaise behave karna hai batayegi, waahhh!!!! Aur kyun na kare wo shadi ki baat, rishtedaaron ko bulaya hi kyun hai, yahi baat toh karni hai unse. Kab tak ye dono ladki apna birthday akeli manati rahegi aur kya faida itne paise ka agar koi bacha na ho usko udane ke liye toh aur agar bache chahiye toh shadi toh karni padegi na. 

''Beta, kabhi toh shadi karni padegi na. Kabtak main akela rahun, main tumhare bachon sang khelna chahta hoon. Kitna suna suna sa ghar hai hamara, thoda shor hoga toh aacha lagega.'' Badi muskil se himmat jutate hue Girish ne itna keh diya but Anamika's cold look was enough to say she didn't like his statement yet she smiles. 

''Tv hai na Papa aur mobile bhi, use instagram and facebook akelaapan mehsus nahi hogaa aur rahi baat shadi ki toh i'm not interested. Papa, you see, I can't share my piece of chocolate fir apna room, bed, closet aur top of that privacy kaise share karungi, I just can't. And the topic ends here, no more discussion.'' Saying so, Anamika dragged him out. 

Here in the party Bulbul was being screwed up between Vaani Aunty and Sujit Mama. They are chewing her brain for no reason, their shadi puran was on and Bulbul was least interested in that. 

Added to her frustration, the client's leave the party upon getting a personal call which means their money on the party is a total waste, damn!!!!

''Vaani Aunty, why are you so stressed for our marriage, I mean aap toh nahi paal rahi humein. We are capable enough to earn a living and live a lavish life which is a dream to thousands of people so what's the matter if I and Ana wants to be single and do things of our own.'' Bulbul snaps Vaani aunty who shot her a look. 

''Par beta, har ladki ko shafi karni padti hai. Mardon ka kartavya hai aurat ko sambhalana aur aurton ka farz hai apne pati ki sewa karna.'' Sujit mama spoke up who's not more than a puppet of his wife, Vaani aunty. 

''Mama ji, please apni philosophy apne pass rakhen kyunki sabko pata hai aapke ghar ka kya scene hai toh please apna gyan apne pass rakhe.'' Bulbul snaps him back making them angry but who cares, inko toh bulana bhi nahi chahte the. 

It's when Girish enters the scene and Bulbul takes her leave. 

''Jija ji, aapki dono beetiyan ek se badh kar ek hai. Jaban toh dono ki chaku se bhi tej, jaane kya dikkat hai humse unhe.'' Making a sour face, Vaani aunty spoke. 

Satyanash, pehle hi raita faila diya dono ne. 

''Aisa kuch nahi hai, dono bahut tension mei rehti hai na kaam ki wajah se issliye aisi baatein karti hai warna bahut pyar karti hai tum sabse. Dekho, aaj birthday tha unhi dono ne kaha party karte hai aur sabko bulate hai.'' Girish lied, sach bata bhi kaise de!?

Vaani aunty didn't believe him, ladkiyon ki sakal se hi pata chalta hai kitna pyar hai unhe aur party, jaroor kissi aur wajah se di hogi. 

''Wo sab toh thik hai, par kya ye dono kuch aur na pehen sakti thi. Itne log aaye hai saaj dhaj ke aur ye dono, aisa laag raha hai office jaane ko hai.'' Vaani aunty picks up another topic gazing at the girls who were wearing a one piece black and white knee length dress. 

Girish gazed at them, it's when he realised the dress his daughter's were wearing was gifted by him only two years back. God, itni kanjusi ka kya faida kuch shopping hi kar leti dono. 

On every occasion they make him wear a new dress but don't do the same with themselves. Though they have so many clothes, they can buy new ones at least when it's their birthday. 

Girish sighs deeply and turns to Vaani aunty who lectures over it. Girish ji ke pass sunne ke siwa koi duja option hi nahi hai, wo bas sabki sunte hai. 

Meanwhile someone interrupted their conversation and said something which made Girish happy.
