The Rebuttal Love

Chapter 10

As her lips touch my cheek the world around me freezes. All I can feel is her touch on my cheek. I lift my eyes to look at her heavenly obsidian eyes and the divine sound of her giggles make me want to capture the moment forever in my heart. She runs away giggling maybe because of my expression but little does she know she has lighted a fire in my heart which can never be extinguished. Atleast not for the next seven lives.

My phone's ringing brings me out of my thoughts. It's Maa sa. After having a talk with her , I drive back to Rajawat haveli. Radha aunty, one of our maids open the door for me and welcome me with her evergreen smile. I smile back and ask where is everyone. I walk towards "Hans Tarantaal" where everyone is seated. This place was especially made for the three daughters of Rajawat family. It is garden and has swings for the princesses . There's a pool made in the the left corner and on the right side there are couches placed. When The twins and Rohini were around 4 years old they were obsessed with swans so this place was built with the same theme. It is their area where no one is allowed until permitted by the princesses. And we're permitted only during navratri!

I greeted everyone and sat on the empty chair next to Maa sa with Rahil on my right. Rahil suddenly released a dramatic gasp and holding my chin he moved my face left and right. Then he held my chin and painfully turned my head towards Maa sa. This bandar gang too gasped dramatically with theirs hands cupping their mouths. Meanwhile the elders fake coughed. I swear this Rahil is crack what does he think of me ?? An Owl??

I smacked his hand away from my chin. And said, " Oii tere pech dheele h kya!! Insaan hu ullu nhi Puri gardan hi marod di!"

Atharva smirked and took out his phone to click a picture of mine. And said," Ye dekhe pehle Bhai aur phir baat krte h hum"

And this time I released a dramatic gasp (sangat ka bohot bura asar ho rha h mujh pr)!! WHAT THE DUCK!  I quickly wiped my cheeks off which had Yuvanika's lipstick mark with the handkerchief!

Everyone was smirking and I cleared my throat saying, " Kaam pr dhyan do warna manate rehna navratri"

Everyone shut their mouths and we began the discussion on the pandal decorations, catering, Aarti , Guest list for the special Aarti on the 9th day of navratri etc.

Dadi, Papa and Chachu took the work of preparing the guest list. Dhruv and the twins worked on the pandal decorations, Rohini Atharva and Dadu took care of the haveli's decoration. Maa sa and Chachi discussed on the catering and everything related to the Puja and our outfits.

And I and Rahil had to work on the music system, dhol Wale, Ambe Mata's Murti, schedule etc.

All the elders gave their opinion and by 2am they retired to their room. Meanwhile we youngsters couldn't contain our excitement for the festival and continued.It was around 4 when we finished our work just some classification were needed which we'll complete in the morning after breakfast. I looked up to check on my siblings and saw each of them sprawling on the couches.

Shriti had her head on Dhruv's lap whereas his head was on Shristi's shoulder. Shristi was sleeping with her mouth open her head in a painful position resting on the couch's headrest. I snorted with laughter seeing these weirdos! Atharva and Rohini were on two separate couches having their beauty sleep.

We wrapped up all their work and I picked Shriti and Rahil picked Shristi. We dropped them to their room and tucked them properly with the blanket, kissing their forehead we left. Next I picked my baccha Rohini and tucked her in her bed. Pecking her forehead I made my way back to wake up those sleeping monkeys aka my brothers.

Rahil was kicking Dhruv to wake him up meanwhile Dhruv was murmuring colourful words on Rahil for disturbing his sleep.

"Ooo sleeping beauties utho aur apne room mei Jaa kr so jao warna utha k pool mei phek dunga!" I said in a warning tone.
