Chapter-4 *Sorry*

Shukla Niwas
6:29pm

The living area of the mansion was resonating with loud, excited voices. Both the families were meeting after a long time and thus, the excitement was at the peak!

"Bohot accha lag raha hai tum sabse itne samay baad milke!"Rita ji exclaimed, grinning happily.

"Humein bhi Rita Maa."Shivay, who was having a conversation with Sidharth and Manik, said with a smile, to which Manik and Dipika nodded, beaming.

"Waise Shehnaaz aur Rohit nahi aaye abhi tak?"Ashok ji asked.

"Ashok Papa woh dono saath mein aa rahe hain, bass aate hi honge, shayad traffic mein fass gaye honge!"Dipika said, while calling Rohit.

"Naazi nahi aayi abhi tak?"Kushal, who had just come after freshening up, asked to Manik.

"Aa rahi hai...raaste mein hai."Manik replied.

All this while, Sidharth remained unbothered, and was busy in catching up with his friends. But the ringing of the phone took his attention and he execused himself to attend the call.

"Helloooo everyone!"A loud, feminine voice took their attention. All looked up and saw Shehnaaz and Rohit standing on the doorsteps of the house. A smile took over their faces.

They entered and touched Ashok ji and Rita ji's feets one-by-one and got blessings.

"Meri bacchi kitni badi ho gayi hai! Aur bohot hi khubsoorat aur pyaari lag rahi hai."Rita ji cupped her face and said lovingly.

"Thank you Rita Maa. You are also looking very young and gorgeous!"she said with a playful smile.

"Hattt badmaash!"Rita ji hit her slightly and shied away.

"Arre sach keh rahe hain hum!"she said, chuckling.

"Koi mujhse bhi mil le!"Kushal said dramatically.

"Kal hi toh mile the yaar hum, aur tu dramein aise kar raha hai jaise hum na jaane kitne saalon baad mil rahein ho!"she said and shooed him away.

"Haan toh miss kar raha tha tujhe...lekin tujhe kya...huh!"Kushal was annoyed by then.

"Awww...hum toh mazak kar rahe the. I missed you too!"she said and hugged him. He melted at once and reciprocated warmly.

"By the way congratulations for yet another success!"Kushal wished, being very happy for her.

"Thank you Kush!"she said gleefully.

"Congratulations!"Shivay, Manik and Dipika shouted and hugged her tightly.

"We are very much proud of you Jaan!"Manik said.

"Exactly!"Dipika agreed.

"And very very happy for you Jaan!"Shivay added.

"Thank you Bhaiyu, Di and Bhai!"she giggled.

"Aree bhai humein bhi koi batao ki kis baat ke liye badhaiyaan di jaa rahi hain?"Ashok ji asked.

"Woh Ashok Papa Shehnaaz ke under ek complicated surgery scheduled thi aaj jo ki successful hui, isliye hum sab usse congratulate kar rahe the."Shivay told.
