Choti Si Duniya - ArShi FF

77. NK ki shaadi - part 2

Today's parallel scene is this: Arnav had bought bangles for Khushi but didn't admit he did. So, she too refused to acknowledge she liked them. At the end she makes him confess he indeed bought them for her but then again, he leaves without answering to her 'Kyun (why)'.

After that scrumptious dinner, all of them were gathered in the courtyard of the Gills' haveli, the cool evening breeze especially the pollution free air soothing their hearts and mind. They all were sitting on various mats spread on the ground or some of the khatiyas(charpoys) kept there.

Jaz's relatives' kids which included her younger cousins and nieces and nephews were running here and there while Raizada kids were mostly silent sitting with their parents or grandparents as they were tired from the journey as well as taking time to get used to this new place. But some of the ladies got a false impression from that and complimented them,

"You are so lucky, aapke bacche kitne shaant hai, koi masti nahi (your kids are so calm, no mischiefs). Otherwise, ours-" one of Jaz's aunts said, as she tried to hold her bratty son who was busy pulling some prank.

"Hello hi bye bye, you speaking too soon, behenji. Wait for some time for our little typhoonwa (typhoons) to activate!" Mamiji said with mock complaint albeit anyone could see her voice held adoration for her grandkids' mischievous nature if anything.

Meanwhile, Bebe, Jaz's dadi (paternal grandmother) decided to declare it was time to call it a night as they had very busy next 3 days up to the wedding. She also mentioned that she had called their chudiyaan wali (bangles seller) the next morning and then mehendi was planned in the evening.

"ouch, dadi, something bit me." Piya said rubbing her arm who was sitting huddled close to mamiji and that got Jaz's aunt to reply,

"macchar hain puttar ji(there are mosquitos). Don't worry, we have kept mosquito repellant agarbatti(incense stick) in each of your rooms. Just light them-" she was saying when Arnav and Khushi both exclaimed together with a panicky tone,

"NO!" they said frantically shaking their heads and made all other around them look at them quizzingly.

That was when NK remembered an incidence from a few years ago when Khushi had used similar mosquito repellant stick and Arnav had lost his voice for a day!

"Oh I remember, Nannav is allergic to mosquito repellant sticks, right?" NK said, wiggling his eyebrows at Arnav who rolled his eyes.

"Not just him nanheji, even his kids are!" Khushi said sadly. All 3 kids of arnav-khushi's were allergic to mosquito repellant sticks just like Arnav. They found about it for kavish when they were visiting Lucknow a few years ago and by mistake Garima had used it and just as Chiku caught a whiff of it, he started coughing. After getting the allergy test done it was confirmed that he indeed has same allergy to a specific content in mosquito repellants as Arnav. Later, when twins were born, they got all allergy checks done early on and both the girls carried same allergy to it like their bhaiyya and papa.

"Oh. Koi na puttar ji(no worries). We have a few mosquito nets too, you use them." Bebe said, instructing someone to arrange them in Arnav-khushi's room and everyone started getting up to go to their own rooms calling it a night.

When they opened their room doors, they saw that already 4 large mattresses were placed on the floor, along with handmade rajai(Indian comforters) and mosquito nets were put in place.
