Veeranshu pov :-

Dusk had fallen when Veeranshu walked out of the exit gate of his office. The weather was chilly and the evening was even more beautiful as it was Valentine's Day .love was in the air and red was the colour everywhere . He let his body feel and embrace the cold surrounding around him but it not lasted till long soon he pulled up his jacket zip till his well built chest. The foggy weather he exhaled was visible . Till the time he reached home it was eight past five minutes . Looking here and there in search of someone ,he rubbed his cold palms against each other and breathed out a puff of warm air to warm them up. He led his way towards his room and quickly changed into joggers and t-shirt and took out his phone to make a call

************************
"Abbey saalo khaa pe ho mujhe jaldi bula ke khud hyi nhi pauche " Veeranshu said in a bit of annoyance
P- ..............
Veer- toh kita time lagega phle bolna tha kya yaar ita aacha khaasa Radhika date ke liye puch rhi thiai mana kar ke aagya.
P-............
Veer - haa theek hai jaldi aao mai kuch baanake rakh taa hu laria aaj kaam pe nhi aayi hai.
P-...........
Veer - kya mtlb kya arnaav (yes it is arnaav) sabke pass date hai except us. Aur woh saala mahir kha pe hai.
Ar- woh toh kisike saath date pe gaya hai. Usko aate late hojayega .
Veer - Date pe gaya hai uski woh "secret crush " London mai hai kya?? Arnaav laughed
Ar- secret crush ka nhi pta baas woh nhi hai abh raakh mai ghar ke pass hyi hu.

Veeranshu cutted the call and was back facing the room leaning to the window and was gazing at the moon. He was way to excited to return back to India after 4 years. He remembered today morning incident when his ballu oops Balwant called him about tapish marriage proposal .

Flashback :-
Veeranshu was getting ready for his office when his phone ringed and the by seeing the caller id mentioned " papa ballu " . He laughed at his endearment given by him when he was just 5 years old. He picked it up :
Balwant -(ba) "Good morning beta " he said sipping his tea
Veeranshu - " good morning dad or to be precise good afternoon dad " he said. Obivously london is 5 .30 hrs behind of India.
Ba- "aacha sun tumlog India kab aarhe ho bhut saal hogaya abh tumlog aajao. Aaj mai Malhotra aur shegals se mila toh pta chala kyi unki betiyan aur khusi bhi wapis aarhi hai Germany se 2 din baaad aur baato baato mai maine tapish ka haat Meera malhotra ki baadi beti sai maanga "

Veer- " huh... Kya mtlb. .... Wahhh dad tapish bhai kyi shaadhi kar rhe jo aur rhi baat India aane kyi dad toh shyad aap bhul rhe ho kl early morning kyi london se flight hai humlog lyi aur humlog kl hyi aarhe hai kya ballu yaar bhudape ke saath dimag bhi kamzor ho rha hai . " Veeranshu said and laughed at his own style ( in naagin 5 )

Ba- " veer... Bhudha mai nhi tu hai chal chup kar khote aur terko toh pta hoga Malhotras aur shegals ek saath rhete hai arnaav aur mahir ka best friend jo hai " he said

Veer - " ha dad Arnaav ne bata ya the uski ek bhen hai aur malhotra kyi 4 beti hai jinmai se do twins hai "

Ba- " Haa aur Meera malhotra kyi baadi beti hai uske baad bela malhotra (Veeranshu giggled as he very well know mahirs ahmm ahmm secret crush) uske baad Mehak - dehak jo twins hai "

Veer - " aree baas baas dad maine description nhi maanga hai naas meera ke baaare mai pucha aur use jaanta bhi hu Head manager hai Malhotra kyi but kuch mahino mai CEO banjayegyi. "

Ba - "aacha chal abh rakh ta hu clients aagye hai aur chandu ko bhi bata na hai tumlog aarhe ho byee dhyan se aana aache se ghar lock kar ke " .

And after that he cutted the call
[abe ballu yaar shegal kyi beti ka naam kyu nhi baataya ] .

Flashback end

Veeranshu came down humming a song saw arnaav entering with mahir on his side. Veeranshu tought of going towards them but saw them as they were busy on call refering to kittu/swetiee . Veeranshu laughed at kittu endearment and saw Mahir making grumpy faces soon to be replaced by a smile on his face. He leada his way to coffee maker and made coffee for him, and arnaav and made tea for mahir . By this time he came back they were settled on the sofas.
********************
At the living room :-

Veer- " aree Arnaav mahir to late aane waala tha na "

Ar- " Nhi foot path pe khada the. " Arnaav laughed and mahir was backed to his grumpy face.

Veer- " footpath pe khada tha iski toh date thi na " he asked in confusion .

Ar- " iski date dhoka degyi isse " .

Arnaav explained the incident took place in the cafe. Basically when mahir left his date for a while and had gone to use the washroom by the time he came back he saw that she was nowhere to be seen and whem he looked here and there and aksed the receptionist about her they said she left a while ago and he came out of the cafe and saw her randomly Kissing a boy. And mahir was beside the cafe in footpath waiting for his car as his car was out of service and arnaav was passing by and he saw mahir there .

Arnaav and Veeranshu laughed at him and mahir also joined them at the incident happened .

Veer-" By the way tumlog kise baat kar rhe tge jo mahir ita ghatiya muh baana rha tha aur haas rha tha uske baad " he asked in curiosity as it is very difficult to make mahir happy once he made a grumpy face or being irritated .

Ar/Ma - " aree woh to Sweeetie / kittu se " they said together .

Veer- " sweetie / kittu.... Huhhh mtlb kon hai. " Veeranshu asked.

Ar- "aree sorry sorry woh mai usse sweetie bulata hu aur mahir usse kittu". Arnaav said with a smile on his face

Veer- "wahi pucha kisse " he got irritated .

Mahir - " aree arnaav bhai yaar naam to baatoo.... Humari bhen se baat kar rhe the "Bani.. Bani shegal humari kittu aur sweetie "

As Veeranshu heard her name he said in wishpering tone audible only to him

Veeranshu - "Bani..... Nice name... "

He was shake. Out of his thought by mahir and arnaav.

Ar- " kya hua veer kab se bula rhe hai... Acha chod abh chale dinner kar lete hai Early morning kyi flight bhi hai finally kite saal baad India jaarhe hai mai bhut excited hu "

Veer/mahir - "mai bhi bhut saal hogye hai. " they said together

They all moved towards their room for further packing and and their journey to India.
