20. Happy Mothers

"You are going to be the bane of my existence Princess Ranawat" He whispered hugging her tightly making her giggle at his eagerness.

"Dinner date?" Vihaan asked pulling away from her.

"Some other day, mumma papa must be waiting for me" Aarchi said with a sad smile.

"Tomorrow?" Vihaan asked crossing his fingers.

"Done but where will we go?" Aarchi asked taking her purse from Vihaan's desk.

"Farmhouse... so I can kiss you until I'm satisfied" Vihaan teased her making her roll her eyes trying to stop herself from blushing.

"Aap bhi na..." She shook her head and started walking away from him.

"Vihaaannn" He pulled her to his chest making her shriek in surprise.

"What are you doing? Jaane do mujhe, ghar pe sab mera intezaar kar rahe honge" Aarchi said looking away from him blushing hard.

"Aise kaise jaane do" Vihaan said in a deep voice making her laugh.

"Tell me you like me then I'll let go of you" He turned her around so her back hit his chest. He slowly started moving as if they were slow dancing.

"Now I know why you didn't want me to call you 'bhaiya'. I was right when I said you and I can't be friends" Aarchi said leaning her head on to his chest and looking up at him.

"Now now Saheba, is it my fault that you walked into my life wearing that white frock, looking like an angel sent from heaven specially customized for me. Aab dil maange more nahi hoga toh kya hi hoga" He said placing his head on her shoulder and tightening his arms around her waist.

"I will have to tell Arush about us" Aarchi said turning around to face.

"Keep it a secret for a while. Let me win you and then tell my brother" Vihaan said placing his hands on her shoulders.

"But he is my bestfriend and I don't hide anything from him" She looked at him confused on what to do.

"Just this once, for my sake" Vihaan looked at her with a pout that she couldn't resist and agreed.

"Just this once" She cleared it out with him.

"Aab ghar chale?" Aarchi asked pushing his hands away from her shoulders.

"After you always" He opened the door for her as she walked past him smiling widely. Both walked towards their cars smiling widely.

"Dekha Tenu Pehli Pehli Baar Ve

Hone Laga Dil Bekarar Vehaaye Mainu Ki Ho GayaDil Janiye Haaye Mainu Ki Ho Gaya" Vihaan sang looking at her as she tried to bit her lip to stop smiling.ย 


"Even our cars are right next to each other" Vihaan smiled at the co-incidence.

"Byeeee" Aarchi said shaking her head at his flirtations.

"I like you toh bolti jaa" Vihaan said smiling seeing her open her car door.

"Dekhungi sochungi kal parso kuchh kahungi" Aarchi sang the lyrics from Mujhse Dosti Karogi as she sat in her car. Vihaan rubbed his nape smiling widely.ย 

"Stop smiling and go" Aarchi said rolling down her car window. Vihaan shrugged his shoulders.

"Text when you reach home"

"Yes Mr. Boyfriend" Aarchi said winking at his shocked demeanor and drove away.

"Saanwali si ek ladki dhadkan jaisi dilki
Dekhke jiske woh sapne kahin woh main to nahin" Vihaan sang loudly and danced throwing his hands in air as Aarchi saw him through her rear mirror in the car and laughed. Vihaan soon sat in the car and started driving home, humming to all songs in the playlist.

"O Hasina Zulfon Vaalee Jaanejahan
Dhundhatee Hain Kaafir Aankhe Kiska Nishaan" Vihaan sang entering his home, finding Ridhima sitting on the sofa reading a novel. He placed his bag on the sofa and held out his hand for Ridhima, pulling her up for a dance.

Ridhima sang the next lines laughing as Vihaan twirled her in his arms and kept her company by singing along.

"Enough enough, I'm thirsty" Ridhima said sitting down and pouring herself and him a glass of water. Vihaan sat beside her smiling as he drank the water. Ridhima's eyes softened seeing her son smiling heartily after a long time.

"I missed your singing in the house" Ridhima said looking at him lovingly.

"I'll try to sing more then" Vihaan took her hand in his and laid down in her lap.

"You are happy today? Anything special?" Ridhima asked running her fingers in his hair. Vihaan nodded his head and placed a pillow on her lap and closed his eyes.

"Whatever it is, keep smiling and singing like this" Ridhima kissed his forehead and kept running her fingers in his hair, smiling at having her little boy back to her.

"I think I'm in love again" Vihaan said with closed eyes making Ridhima gasp surprised at his words.

"Who is it? Who's the girl who has brought symphony back in my son's life?" Ridhima asked him to sit straight so she could question him.

"Don't pretend as if you don't know who it is" Vihaan looked at her teasingly making Ridhima look away embarrassed.

"Well you two do make a good couple..." She murmured slowly until realization hit her.

"Is it who I think it is?" Ridhima asked excitedly.

"You can't tell anyone until I don't. We are taking it slow as of now" Vihaan placed his hand over his over-enthusiastic mother.

"Sachi?" Ridhima looked at him with unshed tears.

"Yes ma, we just confessed to each other a few hours back so don't get hyper" Vihaan said calmly.

"You've made me so happy today" Ridhima hugged Vihaan and cried at seeing her son move on from his past love and accept his fate.

"Don't tell anyone, promise?" Vihaan kissed Ridhima's head and asked. She quickly nodded her head and wiped her tears.

"Go freshen up, I'll arrange for dinner. Veer must be on his way home and Arush too must be returning from his friend's house" Ridhima said kissing Vihaan's cheeks as her eyes again filled with tears.

"You and Kaira aunty can now celebrate that me and Aarchi are together. FYI, you guys aren't as subtle as you two think" Vihaan teased Ridhima wiping her tears. Ridhima chuckled and hit his shoulder and asked him to go to his room or else would be beaten by her. Vihaan just reached his room when his phone vibrated with a notification from Aarchi. She had texted him that she was at home.

On the other hand Aarchi entered the house singing loudly. She threw her purse on the sofa and looked for Kaira. Aarchi sang finding Kaira in the kitchen.

"Mhare Hiwda Mein Nache Mor, Tak Thaiya Thaiya,
Bhavre Ne Machaya Shor, Khili Dil Ki Kaliyan" Kaira looked at Aarchi surprised at her sudden happy mood.ย  Aarchi pushed away the salad plates from Kaira's hands and pulled her into the empty space and started dancing around her making Kaira laugh.

"Badla Mausam, Badle Nazare, Ya Badla Hai Nazariya,
Mhare Hiwda Mein Nache Mor, Tak Thaiya Thaiya..." Aarchi danced until Kaira stopped her and kissed her cheek.

"Who's this 'bhavra' that has changed your 'mausam, nazare' and your 'nazariya'? Because of whom are peacocks dancing?" Kaira asked taking the plates to the dining hall.

"Koi nahi" Aarchi said faster than neccesary making Kaira look at her with squinted eyes.

"I'll tell you but you can't tell anyone" Aarchi said holding Kaira's duppata in her hands and following her around from kitchen to the dining hall.

"Let me guess who it is" Kaira said sitting on the chair making Aarchi sit beside her. Kaira looked around to check if anyone was listening to them.

"Vihaan?" Kaira asked whispering in her ear. Aarchi looked down at her laps smiling widely and nodded her head.

"Really?" Kaira stood up shocked.ย 

"Yes" Aarchi bit her lip and held Kaira's hands.

"This is such a great news. I'm so happy for you baby" Kaira hugged Aarchi tightly kissing her head and wishing her all the happiness in the world.

"But you can't tell that to anyone, not even papa until I tell them" Aarchi said holding her pinky finger asking Kaira to promise her.

"Promise" Kaira entwined her pinky finger with Aarchi's and hugged her.

"Go freshen up and inform my to-be son-in law that you've reached home before he calls you infront of your father" Kaira ushered Aarchi towards her room.

"But you don't tell papa anything. This is between you and me" Aarchi looked at her pleadingly.

"Yes baby yes, now go freshen up quickly, I have a surprise for you and your papa" Kaira placed her hands on Aarchi's shoulder and directed her towards her room.

"Really? What surprise?" Aarchi asked excitedly.

"Its a surprise Aaru, go now before you get scolded by me" Kaira opened Aarchi's room door and pushed her inside. Aarchi closed the door behind her and leaned onto it texting Vihaan she had reached her home. She held the phone close to her heart get lost in the memories of the day.
