Criminal Hearts

Chapter 5

At Krish's Home

He entered and found his whole family sitting in the living room.

Krish: 'Kya baat hai aaj...sab saath mei baithe hai....Mere welcome ke liye baithe ho kya..?'

Maya: (Smiles sheepishly) 'Haan bhai, aap hi ke welcome mein baithe hai hum sab..'

Krish: 'Kyu bhai, aisa kya kar dia meine?'

Maya: 'Woh toh aapko thodi der mei pata chal jaayega...'

Krish: 'Whatever..'

He sat next to his dad...meanwhile Maya bought tea for everyone...

Dad: 'Toh beta, kaisa tha aaj ka din...?'

Krish: 'Theek tha papa, vaise aaj dadi, itni smile kyu kar rhi hai...?'

Dadi: 'Kyunki baat hi smile karne waali hai...Krish..'

Krish: 'Kya hua?'

Dadi: 'Aaj meri bachpan ki saheli mujhse milne aayi thi...Bahut mazaa aya mujhe...Humne bahut saari baatein ki...'

Krish: 'Are waah...yeh toh badi acchi baat hai...aur kya kya kia aapne?'

Maya: ' Aapka satyanash...'

Krish: 'Hainn..?? Yeh kya bol rhi hai?'

Dadi: 'Kuch nhi...yeh to pagal hai...tu meri baat sun...tujhe pata hai, uski ek poti bhi hai....bahut padhi likhi, aur sundar aur samajhdaar...saath mein koi acchi naukri bhi karti hai...'

Krish: 'Tohh......?'

Dadi: 'Toh mei chahti hoon ki tu usse shaadi karle...'

Krish: '........(Sighs) Dadiii....meine kya gunha kiya hai. jo aap meri shaadi ke piche pade hue ho...?'

Mom: 'Koi gunah nahi kiya hai Krish..Hum to bas chahte hai ki tu settle ho jaaye..aur apni life mei khush rahe...'

Krish: 'Mummy, mein bahut khush ho apni life mein....Mujhe shaadi karne ki koi zaroorat nhi hai...'

Dadi: 'Aise kaise zaroorat nhi hai...Umar bhi toh ho gayi haina....karni padegi...meine toh apne saheli, ko bol bhi dia hi tu ek uski poti se milega ek baar...'

Krish: 'Kyaaaaa.....Hey Narayan...aapne mujhse bina puche meeting bhi fix kardi...kaha fasa dia aapne mujhe, dadi...(He said dramatically)

Dadi: 'Aree, meeting hi toh fix ki hai...' (Maya intervenes..)

Maya: 'Aur kya...aap to ese ro rhe ho ki, jaise aapki shaadi ki fx kardi gai ho...'

Krish shot a death glare towards her and in response she winked at him, which annoyed him even more....

Krish: 'Dadi, please na, aap aise kyu kar rahe ho...jee lene do na mujhe meri zindagi...'

Dad: 'Aree, yeh jee le zindagi wala dialogue, toh Simran ka tha na ...tu toh Krish hai...'
(This is in reference to the movie, DDLJ-Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge..)

Krish: 'Papaaaa...'

Dadi: 'Mujhe kuch nhi pata...tu usse milne jaayega...baaki shaadi karni hai ya nhi, woh sab baad mein...Tu apni dadi, ke iye itna toh kar hi sakta hina...?' (She said the last part, a little dramatically or rather cutely)

Krish: 'Accha...theek hai...lekin mein tab tak nahi milunga jab tak mera current case khatam nhi ho jata...'

Dadi: 'Koi baat nhi...tu maan gya na meri baat...vahi bahut hai...'
