My Life

Part 44

"Arey bhaiya!! What are you doing? Do it properly." Ayu kept shouting at the man, trying to arrange flowers for my mehendi celebration tonight.
We were in the garden area where my mehendi was going to be held.
"Stop shouting at him Ayu. Show him than he will understand what is to be done." Mom stopped Ayu from scolding that guy.
"Mom!! I already showed him. He keeps doing it wrongly. Bhaiya come down  I'll it." Ayu said and climbed the stairs to arrange the flowers.
"Ram!! what are you doing? Stop laying around and help us decorate. Today is mehendi function. Guest will be here soon." Mom scolded dad.
"Arey Asmita!! I'm not laying around. I'm browsing." Dad said and again faced his laptop.
"Stop this RAM and help me out. I told you no work in these few days." Mom scolded him and snatched his laptop away.
"I'm not doing any work. I'm searching for a nice song for us to do couple dance." Dad said getting back on his laptop.
"Wait!! what?" Mom asked.
"We have to dance in our daughter's sangeet. So I'm searching stuff on the net." Dad replied.
"Can I help you too grlandpa?" Came my baby's voice.
She was feeling left out in all the fiasco going on in the house.
"Sure sweety." Dad said.
"I'll also dance." Pia hopped beside him.
"You two do I'm not doing anything." Mom said and was about to escape from there.
"Kids will do there own. We have to do ours." Dad said stopping her.
"I'm not." Mom said.
"You have to. It's Avi's orders." Dad said looking at me.
"Yes they are." I informed mom feeding Pia her breakfast.
"Avi!!"
"Sorry mom no excuses. Every couple has to do a couple dance. Even Ayu and Niti are doing. And he is way too excited about it." I informed her.
"I definitely am." Ayu shouted from top.
"You guys are young and we have aged." Mom tried her best to escape.
"No excuses my dear sweet mom. Dad you keep surfing. I'll help you guys in rehearsing the steps. People from bride's side should win." I said.
"Win?" Dad asked.
"Actually I and K made a bet that's whose side is more good at dancing. So it's going to be bride's house vs groom's house. In our team we have you two, Pia, me and Niti. In their side Maya aunty as solo, Nuthan di and jiju, k and Amit, golu. Actually K wanted to be in this side but you see members over there are less." Ayu informed our parents climbing down.
"And what is the bet about?" Dad asked curious.
"The loser side has to take the others to a nice dinner." I replied.
"Well that looks interesting. Ram you keep doing your work. After you are finished we will start rehersing." Mom said and left to work.
Well my mom is a bit competitive one.
I helped my dad in searching the song and it's choreography.

"Mommy grlandpa looks funny." Pia giggled looking at him.
"Pia!!"
Dad was trying his best to dance. I mean to say move his body.
"See I'll look like an idiot in front of my in-laws. Let's cancel our duet." Dad said huffing.
He really was trying his best but dancing is not his cup of tea.
"Ram just try it for once. Okay fine how about doing something simple." Mom said.
Well she was way better than my dad.
"Don't be sad grlandpa. I'll help you. See." Pia showed him how the dance step is to be done.
"Thanks sweety." Dad kissed her cheek.
"Come on dad. We need to win the bet. I will change this step into something easier." Ayu said and showed him an easier step.
"Can you do this?" Ayu asked dad.
Well it looked easy. Dad tried it and was happy that he could do it.
Than again my family started practicing the dance.

"They have been practising for like an hour. What's going on there?" I asked Sid over the phone.
"Same here. K is here and she's been torturing us from past 2 hours. Listen." Sid replied.
"Amit!! How many times I have to tell it's done like this. What did I even see in you back then. You can't even do a simple step. You better learn or you have to sleep in the hall." I could hear K shouting at Amit.
"Hahahah..... poor Amit." I laughed.
There was a silence for a few minutes.
"What happened? You still there?" I asked.
"Yes I'm. Your laugh is so beautiful Angel just like you." Sid complimented me.
"Sid!! Stop with all the flirting." I said.
"Oh god angel!! Are you blushing right now?" He asked.
Well yes I'm. This guy's words still do that magic in my stomach.
"No I'm not."
"Don't lie to me Angel. I know you inside out." He said.
"So did you practise a dance for me?" I asked.
"Should I too have to dance?" He asked.
"So you are not going to dance for me?" I asked dishearted. Picturing him dancing made me want to see him do that.
"Well actually Angel........... I can't dance." He confessed.
"Sid don't make any excuses. You have to dance. And everybody can dance. You just have to move your body to the rhythm. Try doing it for me. Please." I asked him to dance for me.
"Okay fine I'll try." He replied after lot of pestering and requesting.
"Good boy."
"And what about you?" He asked.
"Don't worry I'm going to kill the dance floor. You guys get ready to lose." I replied.
"Too much confidence haa!" He said.
"Yes."
"By the way I don't like this ceremony. How am I not allowed to come to mehendi ceremony. I was soo excited to see you in the evening and then mom said that I'm not allowed. What bullsh*t is this." He said irritated.
"Language Sid. And it's a ceremony. The bride had to put the mehendi given from the groom's side. And you know what, you have to find your name in my mehendi and also if my mehendi darkens than it is said that the groom loves his bride the most. It better be the darkest of all." I said.
"So now the color of the mehendi will signify how much I love you....... don't you already know Angel how much I love you." He said.
"Well I know. The elders just say it's how it is happened." I replied.
"So let's see how dark your mehendi will get tomorrow." He said.
