It has been 3 days since Pooja entered house and if asked to describe her living here it was just one word drama! People here are never tired on debating and shouting.
Nisha and Ashish have habit of waking up early in morning while Shloka and Jay sleep till 8 and what of Pooja had heard if it is holiday then except Ashish no one wakes till ten in morning. Belonging from a strict family she had a habit of waking up by 7 daily.
Breakfast was made by Nisha and Ashish alternately, while lunch depended on people left at house and dinner was made by The Chef Jay. Though she loved food made by him she never praised because he still behaves like kid whose chocolate she has stolen.
....
It is Friday afternoon only Ashish, Shloka and Pooja are at home. Taking a break from office work Ashish joins girls in the kitchen.
"So what are you both talking about?" Ashish asked leaning on the kitchen slab.
"Well as per Pooja our house has very less fancy items"
"Fancy items?"
"Oh ya those statues and photos."
"We need those?" Ashish asked genuinely confused .
"Yes off course they are things that make house a home." Pooja said drying off the utensils and handing them over to Shloka to arrange it.
"Wow! I didn't knew." Ashish muttered sipping water from bottle kept on the slab.
"Okay so now utensils are done so how about this, we will rate the statues in our house and see what more we require for decorating?" Shloka asked passing over napkin to Pooja. Pooja nodded wiping her hands looking over to Ashish for his views who seem to be in some other thoughts.
"What happened Ashish?" Pooja asked touching his shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?" Startled Ashish replies and then looking over girls he looked kitchen platform clean so he turns and said
"First we should talk about budget!"
Saying this he moved out from kitchen and sat on dining table.
"Oh no!" Shloka whispers worriedly and walks away while Pooja frowns hearing her.
"Aree aree Ashish! Wait na we will discuss budget once Nisha comes. Right now just rates statues of our house." Shloka said closing his budget notebook hurriedly
While Ashish calmly explains, " No dear if we have budget then only we can bring more things to house but if not then we are not taking loan from people and bringing it."
"No no I am not listening anything just come with me!" With that Shloka drags both Ashish and Pooja in boys room.
....
After checking out whole house, now the trio was seated on bed of their living hall making a list of things that are required in house.
"I think as per traditional belief we should bring a turtle of glass, it brings more money in house." Shloka exclaimed and then quickly jotted down while Ashish looked thoughtfully towards Pooja.
"Oh then a laughing Buddha is good too." Shloka replied after taking a quick scan of living room. Pooja nodded in agreement and added that too in list.
"A dream catcher too!"
"Vo that photoframe of horses running also."
"That stars that shine when lights turned off."
"Artificial flowers. Nah let’s keep natural but they need to be maintained."
"Key holder!"
"Artistic photo frames with deep meaning."
"Shoe rack."
"Stylish chairs or sitting arrangement."
"Beautiful dining set."
"Stickers on wall."
"Okay guys this enough you have left statues and paintings and discussing something else. And please keep budget in mind too!" Ashish screamed seeing that both girls getting distracted.
"Well they forgot individual or group photo frames!"
"Yes please come and add more to the list." Ashish said hitting himself.
"No but that is correct and important!" Pooja argued.
"But who are you?" Shloka asked looking at man standing on door with one hand in pocket and other on strap of shoulder bag with a cap and sunglasses on, he was grinning at them.
"Well Hi! I am Siddharth Desai. You can call me Sid. I am assistant photographer in a magazine and now we are working on Gujarat state so here I am. And as I love the vibes I am getting here and people here are so good. It is decided that I will be living here."
"Oh but how to you know we are taking people in or not." Ashish asked frustratingly thinking how the hell people come here and ask for place to live? They have certainly not opened a dhramashala.
"Just came to know that bachelor’s live here, so I came over and this is best. So it is decided I am loving here." Sid said sitting on the plastics chair while looking around.
"No but that will be decided by a test right?" Pooja asked Shloka who was gaping at the man for his bluntness.
"Yes, test is necessary!" Ashish said sitting on bed and turned towards Siddharth with a stern face.
"Music director of movie sholay?"
"Ha. Easy! R. D. Burman."
"5 Books by R. K. Narayan!"
"Ah oh okay. My dateless diary, Painter ki Prem kahani, The Dark room, The English teacher, the Bachelor of arts. Enough or need more?"
"Impressive, now let’s talk about history then."
"Who found India first?"
"Oh please. Vasco de Gama!"
"Wow! Too much knowledge." Pooja exclaimed
"Yes l agree but then why to become photographer?"
"Passion." Sid shrugged looking towards girls and then looked at man sitting in front of him.
"Confirmed?" Sid asks looking him
Ashish nodded in daze.
"Sure!"
"Yay we got all our members! Nacho!" Shloka shouts merrily.
"Wait a minute! What about Nisha and Jay?" Pooja screams worriedly.
...
Finally all members in house! And now the real journey begins.
Hope you liked it!❤
