Chapter 43

43.

“By the way, even though I won, I will definitely get your Saanki Baap to dance with me tomorrow, just don’t ask me to dance with that Bindi Waali Kaku.”

Pallavi smiled, “If you keep calling him Saanki Baap, he might not let you come to the mandap.”

“Then I’ll just have to steal you away before everyone’s eyes,” Raghav grinned, and kissed her cheek.

Farhad met them backstage, “Anna, if your romance is done, shall we go home, everyone’s packing up and tomorrow’s going to be a long day.”

Pallavi laughed and smiled at Raghav as she walked away to talk to Aai and Amma about what needed to be cleaned up before they left.

“Baby, Shona, Jaanu, you don’t need to keep looking at Akka like that, she’s not going to disappear,” Farhad joked.

“Farhad, if you call me that one more time, I will forget you’re my friend and not hesitate to punch you.” Raghav started.

Farhad, laughing and already starting to run away, “I’m sorry Anna, I forgot only one person can call you that.”

Raghav’s eyes went back to gazing at Pallavi cleaning up with Amma. Her bracelet glinting in the dimly lit hall, bringing him back to when she had told him she loved him.
