The Fame Changed You - A Narbhi Story - Complete

~21~

Here you go for the next update, I'm sorry for not updating earlier classes started for my younger sibling and I also got bad news so I was preoccupied with other stuff. This story will end in two or three chapters  :).  Have a nice read ;).

"Good morning!" Nakuul wished his mother whom he had visited. The lady raised her eyebrows before taking a nearby broom and hitting him with it.

"Ouch! Mom! Why are you hitting me?"

"Because children need to be spanked when they do mistakes! And you? You played with my daughter's feelings for your stupid acting career." She was still beating her son when a smirking Surbhi appeared behind Nakuul.

"Mom, please, it's okay now!" As soon as she heard her daughter-in-law's voice, she stopped hitting her son and even pushed him aside to hug her daughter.

"Surbhi! How are you dear?" Surbhi kissed her cheek before bending down to take her blessings.

"I'm all good. And you?" Surbhi asked while Nakuul just stood there aghast.

"I'm all fine now that you're here. Come with me, we'll drink some tea." Nakuul just looked on while his mother along with his wife entered the house while chatting.

"And then he was embarrassed when his teacher told me! And he was beetroot red!" He heard his mother say while laughing. "Nakuul, come inside, I was just telling Surbhi about that one time when you didn't pull up your pants after going to the toilets and you went in your class with your underwear on." His dear mother added and he eyed his wife who was trying to calm down her laugh. She was almost as red as the dress she was currently wearing.

"Mom are you serious?" Nakuul rolled his eyes while his mother too laughed at him.

"Come on dear! You were three at that time. It is just one of these childhood memories you laugh about when you think about it." His mother kissed his cheek before going to the kitchen to prepare the biscuits. Surbhi came to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You're cute when you're angry." She kissed his nose.

"She shouldn't have told you that. That's embarrassing." He mumbled.

"You showing off your boxers at three cannot be more embarrassing than that time when you tried to show me how to do the 'helicopter' with your... Wait what would you call it back in high school... oh yeah 'Vlad the Impaler'." She giggled and he pinched her waist.

"Never ever tease my lad down there ok? He's my best buddy... my efficient baby maker, ha! One night was enough for you to be pregnant!" She rolled her eyes.

"What are you two whispering?" His mother came with the tray of biscuits and tea. Surbhi went to her and helped her with the snacks. They sat together and ate while cracking jokes.

"So you finally went back to the ground? I thought you'd fly so high to end up deaf and not hear my daughter's cries!" His mother said seriously.

"I know that I've messed up mom... you don't need to remind me for the rest of my life. I think the most important is the fact that I looked at my wife at the right moment and asked myself if that role was worth our love and what we had. I'm just grateful to God for opening my eyes at the right moment." He looked at Surbhi who looked back at him with tearful eyes. She was now sure to have got back her husband. The man she fell in love with.

"Actually, mom... We didn't come here without a reason. We are here to announce you that from now on, you'll be called Dadi and dad will be called..."

"Dadaji, I guess?" Pratap Singh Mehta interrupted his daughter-in-law as he came inside the house and joined the trio. "So you were all set to reveal to my wife about you being pregnant without me. I can accept it from Nakuul but from you, Surbhi? The daughter I've dreamed about all my life you dare to betray me like that?"

"I'm the one betrayed by you now, dad!" Priyanka said joining them. "So Surbhi is the daughter you were dreaming for? What am I, huh?" A missed experience?" Priyanka said, obviously teasing her dad. And the two of them began arguing with Pratap explaining why his daughter-in-law was the daughter of his dream and Priyanka faking her pain.

"See we came here to announce a pregnancy and they're arguing," Nakuul whispered in Surbhi's ear.

"That's your fault. I told you to wait for dad, but you said mom will tell him if he's not home. See, they're all arguing." Surbhi nudged him and rolled her eyes. She then cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention.

"If you don't stop arguing you will be blacklisted for my baby shower and I won't tell you his sex until his birth... even though I know he will be a boy." She said and they stopped immediately with Pratap kissing his daughter's forehead saying that Surbhi was his dream daughter but Priyanka was his dream come true.

"What do you mean a boy? I want a girl." Nakuul argued.

"You're not carrying the baby, you're not the one to decide!" She replied.

"You should have paid more attention to your biology classes! Didn't you learn how is the sex of the baby determined?" He asked. She opened her mouth before closing it and groaning.

"Just shut up!" She folded her arms and looked away.

"And they say we're the one arguing," Pratap said loud enough for all of them to hear. He laughed along with Prinku and both were quickly followed by his wife, son, and daughter-in-law.

"Anyways, you guys never know, you can be having twins.." Priyanka said leaving the couple perplexed.
