Surprise

Author's p.o.v

♡₊˚ 🦢・₊✧

She looked infront only to get shocked seeing a car approaching towards them in a speed not less than a rocket. She immediately turn the steering wheel to left side and applied the brakes, car stopped.They were laughing, their shoulders shaking with uncontrollable mirth, when suddenly a car slammed into them from behind, sending them spinning out of control. As they screamed in terror, the car came to a halt, its front end crumpled like tinfoil.

Did I just hit a car. how?Am I still alive or dead. wtf!!!!My car got hit oh my gosh!!!! Yeh mere sath hi kyu hota hai

[why it always have to happen with me].

Khair Jo hona tha woh toh ho gya ab kya hi karskte hai. Mein toh Bach gyi pr Zoya aur Abhi..... I thought as realisation hit me that they were also with me. I roamed my eyes in backseat of car and I sighed seeing them.

"Tum log theek toh ho na" I asked with concern filled voice.

[You guys are okay]

They both nod still breathing heavily. I sighed as relief wash over me seeing them fine.

I stepped out of car and walked to its front. And to my horror the front was literally crushed like someone just rolled a roadroller on it.

I took out my phone from pocket and dialled 100.

Within a few minutes police arrived but the person who slammed into my car didn't even step out of his car.

The police station was abuzz with activity, a cacophony of voices and the occasional wail of a siren outside. I and my friends sat on a hard wooden bench, our eyes fixed on the officer behind the desk. He was reading through the report, a furrow forming between his brows. Beside him, a man in a crumpled suit looked on impassively.

It's been almost 15 minutes we have been here sitting on this bench. Bench, no it's a moving see saw in form of bench. Whenever anyone sit on other side of it, our side lifts in air. And whenever they stood our side fell with a thump sound. Isn't it amazing to witness this type of thing of unique thing i.e a see saw

bench in police station of Mumbai.

I got lost in my thoughts when sounds of footsteps took me back to reality. I looked in direction from where the sound was coming from. My eyes widened and nervousness spread across me with anger rushing through my veins.

"Did he came here to file a complaint against me just because I threw water on his shirt" it's so weird ,I thought and my mind wanders around many things. I brushed off my thoughts and stomped towards his direction.

Yes his direction I don't know from where I got the courage to do this but yeah look at me standing infront of him for what idk even myself.

"Tum!!yaha bhi " I asked and crossed my arms infront of my chest.

[You,here also]

He looked at me from head to toe and asked "Tum! yaha kaise" while running his big veiny hands in his already combed hair. I don't understand why boys have obsession with running their hands in their hair all the time.

[You! here how]

"Pairo se, aur sawal mein pehle pucha" I said sarcastically and furrowed.

[By legs,and I asked question first]

"Police station mein ghoomar karne toh aaya nhi hu, obviously kisine complaint ki h tbhi aaya hu" He said in his sarcasm laced deep husky voice.

[I haven't come here to do ghoomar it's obvious someone complaint that's why I came

for some reasons which I don't know his voice sends chills down my spine.

"Tumhara kya bharosa kya pta ghoomar karne aaye ho" I said while rolling my eyes.

[What do you believe? Who knows you has come to do ghoomar around]

"Mein ghoomar krne nhi aaye" He said still running his hands in his hairs.

[I didn't came here to do ghoomar]

"Toh kya lavani karne aaye ho" I said and chuckled.

[So what have you come to do lavani]

"Excuse me" He said and crossed his arms infront of his chest.

His rolled sleeves till his elbow making his veiny hands visible, his broad shoulders,the way his shirt clunged to his body under his black suit giving him a perfect model look. wait why the fuck I'm even describing him arghhhh!!!!!!.

"Btw he looks hot" my subconscious mocked.

"Excuse me huh , ek toh tum mera peecha kar rhe ho upar se mujhe hi bol rhe ho. Ulta chor kotwal ko daate". I said and raised my brow.

[On the one hand, you are following me and on top of that you are calling me. the pot calling the kettle black]

"Peecha aur tumhara ohh!! pleasee huh. Chipkali kahi ki, duniye mein agar tum eklauti ladki bachogi na toh bhi tumhara peecha nhi krunga" he said sarcastically with boredom reflecting in his voice.

[Follow and you ohhh!! Please, huh. Lizard said, even if you are the only girl left in the world, I will not chase you]

"Haww!!! kitne badtameez,kamzarf,bewakoof insaan ho tum" I said with an amused face while shifting my hands to my waist.

[What a rude, weak, stupid person you are.]

"Ek min Ek min apko Urdu bhi aati hai kamaal hai mujhe toh laga bas shirt par pani dalna aata hai.Yeh badtameez aur bewakoof toh theek hai par yeh kambarf kya hai?" He asked with a confused look.

[One minute one minute you also know Urdu, it's amazing, I thought you just know how to put water on the shirt. You are a rude and stupid person, but what is this kambarf]

"Idiot! Kambarf nhi kamzarf, means ungenerous" I said and face palmed.

"Ek baat btao, tum paida hi pagal huyi thi ya mujhe dekhar kar pagal hogyi ho" He said while raising his brow and smirk lingering on his face.

[Tell me one thing, did you go mad the moment you were born or did you go mad after seeing me?]

"Tum mujhe pagal bol rhe ho " I said and narrowed my eyes.

[you are calling me crazy]

"Tumhe tumhare alawa yaha aur koi pagal dikh rha hai" he said while laughing skeptically.

[Do you see anyone else crazy here besides you?]

I stepped closer to him grabbed his collar and yelled at him" Tumhe toh mein chhodungi nhi".

["I will not leave you."]

He held my hand from which I was grabbing his collar and said with a broad smile " yahi toh mein chahta hu mujhe mat chhodo".

[This is what I want, don't leave me]

I swear his touch send shiver down my spine, my heart started drumming faster I felt something in my stomach idk what is this feeling. his mere touch made me speechless.His touch made me feels things I haven't feel in my life yet.

I quickly composed myself and raised my brow at his statement. I left his collar immediately and stepped back.

idk even know him then why it's affecting me maybe because I read a lot of romantic novels oh god!!!.

I brushed my thoughts away but still can't be able to form any sentence. His voice made me snap out of my thoughts.

"Ha tabhi toh mein tumhare upar complaint file krunga harrasment ki" he said while smirking.

[Only then will I file a complaint against you for harassment]

My blood boiled at his statement I tried to control my anger and clenched my fists tightly.

"Tum ruko Zara tum kya complaint kroge meri, complaint to mein krungii.ek shirt kya khrab hogyi tum toh gale hi padgye mere" I said while pointing my index finger at him. I went near the table and filed a complaint against him.

[You wait, why are you going to complain about me, I will complain. one shirt get damaged? you have become my gal]

(Time skips)

The car owner turned out to be him the most annoying person I ever met in my lifetime.We settled compensation and after a few minutes of discussion which felt like decade with that idiot we settled pur dispute, no his compensation for making my car a tinfoil. I took cab and it's been 10 minutes after I left from police station.

I sneaked into my house through backdoor carefully not to get caught by my brown parents. I managed to tiptoed to my room and laid on bed. My eyelids felt heavy and i don't even remember when I nodd off.

few hours later I felt myself being shaken, I opened my eyes to see what's going on. Ekaksh bhaii was standing with a box in his one hand and plate loaded with fried rice in another hand.

I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision and sat on bed leaning on bedhead. Bhaii took seat near me and said softly "Ho gyi need Puri" while caressing my hair. I nodded with a smile.

My brother always been my side to support to encourage to take care of me he has played a very important person in my life. He stood by me in my bad as well as in my good. He always took care of me whenever our parents were gone for trips and business meetings. He is very close to me since my childhood. When I was in Manhattan he also used to come there to meet me every month no matter how busy he was. My brother is like my best buddy there's nothing that is hidden from him.

" Bhaiii what's with this box" I asked pointing at the box.

"Ohh this, this is a gift from your bhabhi" he said a smile tugged on the corner of his face.

"Bhabhi, she gave you this, that's so sweet . can I see this" I said as my excitement was on cloud nine right now.

Bhai nodded with a smile and showed the box to me. I opened the box and my eyes soften at the sight.

The box has a cute pair of we bear bare keychain.

My mouth formed an awe. They are so cute and fluffy I said and touched them feeling their softness.

"Bhaii this is so cute" I said softly still gazing at them.

"Yeh tere liye bheje hai" He said while smiling.

My smile widened listening to bhai's word. I can't believe Bhabhi sent this for me that's so cute.

"Aweee bhabhi is so sweet tell her that I loved it and I love her alot too" I said and hugged my brother smilling like a toddler.

Bhaii chuckled and said " why don't you say this yourself, she will be more happy if you told her by yourself".

"Yea that's right I will tell her myself. let me call her" I said, grabbing my phone from side table I video called Sunaina Bhabhi.

After a few rings she picked up the call.

"Hiii bhabhi kaise ho aap" I said while smiling.

[Hi sister in law how are you]

"Hiii ika!!Mein achhi hu , tum kaisi ho" she said while tucking her hair strand beyond her ear and gave me a bubbly smile.

[Hi ika. I'm good, how about you]

"Mein bhi achhi hu, bhabhi apne Jo gift bheja hai mere liye woh bhot cute hai" I said while showing her bear plushie keychain.

[I am also fine, the gift that you has sent is very cute ]

"Tumhe achha laga, muje lag rha tha ki pta nhi tumhe psnd ayega ya nhi" she said her voice so soft and sweet.

[You liked it, I was wondering whether you would like it or not]

"Achaa? bhot achaa laga. kitte pyare hai yeh bear I love them bhabhs thank youu" I said while smiling and gave her flying kisses.

[Good? Adored. How lovely is this beary love theme bhbs thank you]

"welcome sweetie, btw yeh na mene psnd nhi kiye actually mein na confuse thi toh I took help of someone I hope you don't mind" she said her voice sweet and soft.

[Welcome sweetie,btw I didn't choose them actually I was confused so I took help of someone]

"I don't mind at all, bhabhs btw jiski bhi help li h he or she I bet there choice is very good huh" I said and chuckled.

[Btw who ever helped you I bet there choice is good indeed]

Bhaii and Bhabhs laughed too.

I heard some voices from bhabhs side so I asked her.

"Bhabhs, is there someone else also there with you "I asked out of curiosity kyunki jab tak puchungi merko chain nhi pdega.

"Yeah, my elder brother rey bhaiya is here" she said while looking at somewhere in her room and looked back at us.

"oooh achaa.btw you must be tired na , you should rest after all it's your engagement next week". I said last part excitingly.

Bhabhs nodded and smiled.

After chit chating for a couple of minutes we both hang up. I putted my phone on stand nearby and turned my whole attention on bhaii.

"So what's the plan for Anniversary"I asked excitingly.

Bhaii chuckled at my eagerness and said "surprise Dena hai na mumma papa ko kal"

it's been 2 days since I came India. And it feels soo good to breathe the air I haven't breathe in 2 years. Manhattan is good but India hits different.

We discussed our plan to surprise mumma papa tomorrow. I haven't even attending their calls from 2 days I know if I did then the surprise will be floped Im terrible at keeping my mouth shut.

Tomorrow is my parents anniversary one of the reason I came India for.

I and Ekaksh bhaii discussed our plan how I'm gonna surprise mumma-papa and Sunaina Bhabhs family.I haven't met them yet and none they so yeah we gonna meet each other for the first time tomorrow. I have heard a lot Bhabhs elder brother by my mom. she always compliments him and talk about him every time we had a chat. It's gonna be super fun , even I'm curious how this Reyansh Rai Singhania looks like that my mother keeps admiring him.

🎬

The day has come for which I was waiting for past few days and it's been 2 days I'm here in India sneeking in my own house like a criminal.

I peeked through my window and oh my gosh!!! the view.....

I swear this party gonna be super duper fun with surprises. Everything is so perfect.

The stairs were decorated with light pink, white and slight red colour flowers. Lights were wrapped around the lower portion of stairs. Candles were enhancing the whole look of stairs.

The entrance was decorated with white and peach colour flowers and leaves. White curtains were hanging on both the sides along with golden lamps with candles inside were placed on the way inside the house.

Everything is as perfect as I wanted. It's so beautiful. Looks like the event manager understood the whole assignment. Till now everything is set just guests are yet to come. Mumma- Papa are in their room getting ready, they were being stubborn earlier when bhaii told them to get ready as I was checking the decoration out there. Bhaii kept them busy until I was done checking all the decorations and stuff.

Bhaii is also getting ready in his room and here I'm always ready before time.

This is what I was wearing for mumma-papa anniversary.

I was planning to wear saree but I kept that for some another day. And yeah this dress was gifted by Zoya on my last birthday.

I'm all set to drop bomb of surprise on my parents. My excitement is on cloud nine right now.

Guests have also started to come so I quickly get inside my room not wanting to spoil the surprise yet now.

🎬

Finally the time has come, I was waiting for this moment for so long.

Within a minute all lights of the hall turned off. Everything went dark and there comes the small light spotted on middle of hall with some footsteps approaching the spotted light area. Soon the person come in view still not revealing the face. The person was holding a mic in their hand.

"Mom and Dad, on your special day, I want to express how grateful I am to have you as my parents. Your love for each other has taught me so much about what it takes to have a lasting and meaningful relationship. I wish you all the happiness and love in the world - on your anniversary, and always."

The person standing in the spot light spoke softly, everyone's attention was on the person who was expressing their feelings to their mom and dad whole heartedly.

The light went on revealing the person standing under the spot light in a off white dress.

A voice filled with emotions came from back between the guests "Advika beta".

The person standing in spotlight came forward walking slowly towards, where the voice came from.

"Mumma-Papa" she said with teary eyes, a wide smile lingering on her face as she hugged her parents.

✧˚ · .P.O.V ✧˚ · .

As soon as I heared mumma's call I went towards her slowly. "Mumma- Papa" I said with teary eyes and smiling at them I hugged them tightly.

Mumma pulled me in her embrace wrapping her arms around me. I can feel her crying without looking at me she kept me hugging me for a few minutes then pulled back. Her teary eyes met mine I wiped her tears and said softly "Mumma Rona nhi h".

[Mom, don't cry]

She nodded and smiled at me. I turned to Papa who was looking at me with tears in his eyes, opened his arms for me and gestured me to come. I hugged papa and said "I missed you papa".

"Me too bacha" he said while caressing my hairs. After a few minutes I pulled back and smiled at both of them.

Mumma asked first "Adu tu kab aayi? " followed by papa behind.

[Adu when did you come?]

"Mein, mein toh pichle 2 dino se yahi hu" I said while smiling at their confused and shocked expression.

[I'm here from last 2 days]

"2 dino se? Humne toh nhi dekha Ghar me kahi terko pichle 2 dino mein " she asked with confused face.

[From 2 days? We didn't see you in last 2 days in house]

"Woh isliye kyunki mein apne kamre mein thi na" I said while wrapping my arms around her neck from behind.

[Because I was in my room]

"Kamre mein, tabhi toh khana raat ko upar Jaa rha h" she said while [looking at ekaksh bhaii who was laughing standing in corner.

In Room, that's why food was going upstairs]

After a few moments of Q and A session with mumma- papa they went to Sunaina bhabhs family.

I greeted them and hugged Bhabhs. Only bhabhs and bhaii knows that I was in India.

"Advika beta, kaisi hai" Sunaina Bhabhs mumma asked with a soft smile.

[Advika beta how are you]

"Mein achhi hu aunty aap kaise ho" I said with smile. I got positive vibes from her mumma she is so sweet even if I'm meeting her for the first time still it feels like I known her for a long time.

[I'm good aunty, how are you]

Mumma asked looking here and there "Reyansh nhi aaya"

[Reyansh didn't come?]

Aunty replied ,her eyes searching for her son "Aaya hai na"

[He also came]

She spoke again" woh udhr hai" while pointing at a particular place. My eyes followed her direction in which she was pointing.

[He is there]

I looked at the man standing there looks like he is on a phone call. He was wearing a black suit with golden embroidered design on his collar and near the edges.

" Reyansh beta" Aunty shouted gaining his attention and as he turned around to see his mother.

My jaw dropped with my eyes widened. My eyes alomost fell out of sockets.
