After Shaurya leaves Anokhi scrolls through her phone for awhile and then starts to pick them up when Shaurya comes.
Shaurya-Hey! I know books are like the third wheel in our threesome but aaj yeh sautan hai. Isko side mein rakho and mere sath chalo.
Anokhi-Shaurya! Sautan mat bolo.
Shaurya-Toh kya hi bolun inko? Honeymoon mein bhi mooh uthake aa gye the yeh log.
Anokhi-Arre I love them isliye layi thi. Woh mere invitation pe aaye the.
Shaurya-Achaa sorry book bhaisahab. Matlab apni biwi se baat karne se pehle aapki aagya nhi lee. Kya mein apni biwi aur aapko dost ko apne sath le ja sakta hoon?
Anokhi-That's better.
Shaurya-Toh chalo ab neeche baitho. Mujhe ek kaam hai niptakar aata hoon.
Anokhi-Ok.
Anokhi settles downstairs near the pool area to see everyone sitting down.
Anokhi-Koi bolo naa Shaurya ne kya plan kia hai?
Tej-Pata hoga toh bolte naa. Kanchan se pucho. Yehi hai Shaurya ki assistant.
Alok-Yash bhi toh tha. Kyu Yash kya hone wala hai? Mujhse suspense aur bhook dono hi bardash nhi ho rhi.
Yash-Arre wait toh kijiye. Aisa surprise socha bhi nhi hoga.
Tej-Alok sabr kab seekhega tu. Itne plotting, planning karke kya fayda hua Anokhi ke sath tera brain development toh hua nhi.
(All the family members are truly family so once in a while they can kid about it and laugh at how juvenile they were without offending the other.)
Alok-Arre paji. Kitna bhi brain develop ho jaye dil pe uska koi kaboo nhi. Kuch bhi kar lete fail hi hote toh koi baat nhi.
Tej-So toh hai. Woh toh hona hi tha hume fail.
They give a laugh.
Suddenly the room goes dark.
Yash makes an announcement.
Yash-Toh pesh hai kuch khas iss duniya ke sabse khas insan ke liye.
(Try to imagine the next few paras. I tried to make it as visual as possible.)
The backlight is switched on. There is a handsome guy in black suit(think dressed like Hritik Roshan in Bang Bang song).
Music starts. It's ek pal ka jeena. (May wanna check that song on YouTube and come back.)
The person turns and starts performance. He is shirtless with only the black suit and a cool watch.
Everyone's mouth is hung open.
Suddenly song change to Bang Bang from Bang Bang movie and Tu meri from same movie. He concludes his dance.
Everyone is speechless. No one expected that Shaurya would do this. He has always been romantic but to prepare an entire dance routine in a day for Anokhi was the sexiest and sweetest thing possible.
Shaurya-You know mera bhi thodasa yehi reaction tha when wifey was oggling mera dushman Hritik Roshan toh socha usse thoda competition de doon. Dikha doon apni wifey ko who is the real deal.
Anokhi-Shaurya! You didn't have to. But I mean agar yeh nhi dekha hota maine life mein toh kya hi point hai jeene ka.
Shaurya-Itna hi pasand aaya toh ek gift dijiye mujhe. May I have a dance with you.
Kanchan-Yes bolo!
Shaan-Yes go for it!!!!
Yash-Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
So amid all the cheers Anokhi gives her hand in Shaurya's hand. They dance on Khuda Jane. As the music comes to a stop Anokhi and Shaurya are staring at each other.
Shaurya-Anokhi with you every moment is so beautiful jitna maine kabhi socha bhi nhi tha. Kash hum aise hi khade reh sakte.
Anokhi-Haan. But sach bataoon toh pair mein pain hai mere.
Shaurya-Hey toh bola kyu nhi? You should have told before the dance.
Anokhi-Arre I would have missed this fortune of dancing with the sexiest guy on the planet Shaurya.
Shaurya-Hhhmm. But abhi baitho. Subah toh I gave you a massage. Usse dard badha toh nhi. Maine net se padhke kia tha. I will sue the site.
Anokhi-Arre nhi. Kam ho gya tha pata nhi fir aadhe ghante pehle hi shuru hua.
Shaurya-You want me to massage you?
Anokhi-Maybe after dinner mein kar lungi. You must be tired after a long day.
Shaurya-Not at all. I will do it.
Gaytri-Arre hum bhi hai. Ab expect kar rhe ho ki hum ignored feel kar rhe hai tumhari tarah so hum bhi dance karenge.
Shaurya-Kar sakte ho but pehle Anokhi baitho. (He gentle makes her to sit and takes the bean bag where he was supposed to sit, raises Anokhi's feet and places on that.) Woh Anokhi ke pair mein dard hai. Khud toh nhi kahegi isliye maine hi uthake upar kar diya.
Aastha-Anokhi kuch aur chahiye?
Anokhi-Nhi maa theekh hoon. Shaurya toh bas exaggerate karte hai.
Shaurya-Haan. Fikar ko exaggeration ka naam diya jaa rha hai.
Anokhi-Shaurya tum bhi naa!
Shaurya-Khair dekh hi rhe hai aap sab kya aukat hai meri.
Anokhi-Drama queen ho ek number ke.
Devi-Ek dum Anokhi. Bachpan mein plays or skit nhi karta tha toh abhi kami puri kar rha hai.
Shaurya-Aap bhi badi maa. Arre mein toh bas. Khair explain hi nhi karna.
Anokhi-Awwww so cute! Aise naraaz bohot cute lagte ho. But muskurate hue aur bohot kuch toh kya lagna hai aapko cute yaa bohot kuch. Dono ke apne perks hai you know.
Kanchan-Ae fasa!
Shaurya-Kya fasa? Yahan toh saari zindagi ke liye fas jana chahunga. Kabhi cute, kabhi bohot kuch. Yehi hai Shaurya Sabbarwal. But ab Anokhi ke khane ka time hai chalo khate hai.
He gets plate for her with all her favorites.
Anokhi-I want to say something. You know Shaurya is the best thing I could have asked for. He has made me feel so loved. Aaj usne kitna sab kuch plan kia tha for me but it just took a couple of minutes over my sink for him to chuck those plans and make new ones. He has my heart. And yeh journey mere liye easy nhi hai but uske liye bhi nhi. He is always on his toes so that I am the most comfortable that I can be. He is always trying to balance my freedom and my health. Can I ask for anything more! And I am hundred percent sure that the baby can ask for nothing more. It already has the bestest dad ever possible. And I know its heart beats as much in you as much as it does in me. Love you from its side too.
Shaurya just side hugs Anokhi, wiping away his tears.
Everyone got awwww. They have a fun dinner with a lot of tang kheechai. Then they go back to the rooms.
Shaurya. You don't have to do this.
Shaurya-We are partners, a team. Tum khayal rakh rhi ho humare baby ka. You are super uncomfortable but you make sure your body is the best home for the baby. Toh meri bhi toh responsiblity hai to make you feel better. Ab chup aankhen band.
He massages her feet until she has drifted into sleep, pulls the cover on her feet and makes his way beside her carefully caressing her belly and then he too drifts into sleep
