Viren: Nani... she is screaming , as if i've tried to rape her...

Jeevika: [gritted] Viren, what ru talking?

Jasleen: [still not understanding] Kya... lekhin

Bansari: [irritated]Right Jasleen?

Jasleen: Acha ji, but Jeevika , u really have to let out ur fear, afterall u're married...

They left, Jeevika took a pillow nd threw on Viren...

Jeevika: [scowled at him] Did u take any contract to insult me infront of others...

Viren: Me? What did i do? It's all because of ur silliness, it happened...

Jeevika: You, ugh! whatever...

Jasleen: [called out] Jeevika beta, get ready fast, many of our relatives will be reaching here soon...

Jeevika was about to go, but Viren interuppted her...

Viren: If u miss me, then why can't u just say it!

Jeevika: Sorry?

Viren: Ok.. if u're shy, then i'll give it...

Jeevika: No way, i'm gonna allow u...

Viren: We'll see...

Jeevika: Ofcourse...

Viren: [extended his hands] DEAL?

Jeevika: [glared at him] DEAL!

Both got ready. Jeevika went to the kitchen, she was surprised to see noone there.

Jeevika: Priya... where is that silly cook?

Priya: He took leave for one week!

Jeevika: Leave?

Priya: Haan... he was tellin that he had some health problem nd stuffs...

Jeevika: [muttered] Poor cook, he must've took the leave purposely, scared of Viren.

Priya: Waise Jeevika, my stupid relative r cumin today.. End of fun now!

Jeevika: Why are u tellin like that? I'm sure it would be fun...

Priya: U'll know it soon... Waise where's Jeeju?

Jeevika: Who cares? Call everyone... I'll just arrange the table...

Everyone gathered at the dining table, but Viren had an unsual evil smile on Jeevika.

Jeevika: [thiking] Why is he smiling continuously?

Viren sat next to her, Jeevika served the food to all, everyone was busy eating. Viren gazed at Jeevika, she avoided looking at him. Suddenly, he a quick peck to her in her cheeks. She was shocked at his action, she diverted her look to him, with her hand covering her right chin.

Riya: What happened di? Any problem [chuckled]

Jeevika: Nothing di...

Viren: Jeevika, can u please pass the curry please?

She rolled her eyes on him...

Viren: [whispered] Love u babes...

Jeevika: IDIOT!

Manvi: Idiot? Kaun...

Priya: Jeevika, are u ok? Yesterday too, u were behaving strangely!

Jeevika: Woh.. Nothing...

She glared at Viren, meanwhile he was eating as if nothing happened. She decided to change the place and shifted Nani to her seat, Viren didn't notice this. He was about to give a kiss, he just averted seeing Nani sitting next to him.😆 Jeevika was laughing inside.

Riya: Papa, by what time Mamji will reach?

Bansari: I guess, within 2 hours... What made u ask?

Riya: So that i can get prepared... Waise Shaitaan nd team jo arehe hai!

Viren: Uncle, kithne log hoge?

Bansari: 20-25... our house is big, so it's not a problem... What happened?

Viren: Nothing Uncle, if u don't mind... [looking at Jeevika] Me nd Jeevika will stay at hotel..

Jeevika looked at him shocked...

Jasleen: No beta... no need of that... Ghar toh bada hai, it is possible to accomodate everyone...

After having breakfast, Priya was sitting in her room downcast, Jeevika and Mannu went towards her...

Jeevika: Kya hua, are u missing Sanjay?

Priya: Chup kar... actually after this crazy relatives arrives, they'll do the haldi ceremony, and on top of that, we won't get time to talk with each other...

Manvi: Haldi?? Eeks...

Priya: Jeevs? U know right, how much i hate haldi!

Jeevika: Me too... but what to do, u don't have anyother way round!

Jasleen: Priya, manvi, Jeevika... come down, everyone has arrived...

Priya: Devils are here... u were really lucky cz ur family didn't conduct haldi ceremony, just on ur wish...

Everyone gathered down... Now it just looked like a perfect Marriage hall, cz the number of people who just reached was totally unpredictable... They were uncles,aunties, children, hotties, grandma, grandpa. But Viren managed to get all the girls attention. They were continuously eyeing on him, which made Jeevika jealous.

A group of girls went near Priya and asked

''U said there's not even a single hot guy in ur wedding, and where did u manage to get him''

This irritated Jeevika. The girls smiled at Viren, he too smiled back.

Aunty1: Sorry we're late... Hey, what are we waiting for?

Jasleen: Everything is ready! Priya, come fast beta, nd Jeevika u too get ready...

Jeevika: For what?

Nani: Cz we are applying haldi on u too beta!

Jeevika: Aunty??? But i'm not planning to marry again?

Everyone started laughing hearing this, she looked at Viren, who was grinning at her..

Nani: Beta, u'll look really beautiful after applying this...

Jeevika: I don't want to look beautiful...

Jasleen: Everyone just go towards Priya, i'll convince Jeevika...

Nani: Mein hoona don't worry...

Soon after, Jeevika came out covered in a big sleevless frock, she wasn't ready to go, Nani was pulling her, she pleaded Nani, Nani was dragging out of her room, Viren gave her a teasing look. She stood up nd walked glaring at him...

Priya's haldi ceremony going on... Priya and Jeevika in different room.

Nani: Jeevika beta, do u know why we r doing this...Ur mom told so...

Jeevika: Maa??? I won't spare u...

Nani applied haldi on her face and arms, Meanwhile Viren was peeping , just like a naughty kid😛

Jeevika: [eyed at Viren] Nani... tell him to go...

Nani: So what? Let him stand there... Afterall he's u're husband. viren do u want to apply haldi on Jeevika.?

Jeevika: No... I won't allow...

Viren tried to take photo of her, she gave a death glare to him😉

Jeevika: Nani... tell him to go... please Nani...Viren.. u better go away!

Nani: Do u talk like this to ur husband? Viren beta, u stand there itself...

Viren smirked at Jeevika! He stood there trying to control his laugh.. After a few seconds, some of the relatives called Nani, she went towards them, and never came back. Jeevika waited for her, covered with haldi. Viren made advantage of the situation and went near her...

Viren: [teasing her] Look, who's calling out for Nani! Nani... help me... help me.. i'm covered with haldi... Eww i hate haldi...

[He was laughing hard catching his stomach]

Jeevika: U stay out of this ok!

Viren: Have to say.. this avtar suits u the most... i mean the 'haldi avtar' . Why can't u try for a circus competition? U'll defo win for sure😆

Jeevika: tu ne mujhe joker kaha! How dare u?

Viren: [whispered] guess Nani will never come back... she might be busy with helping others... What will u do?

Jeevika: U?? I know how to wash this myself ok![in a caustic tone] U just get out...

Viren: [running his hand through his hair] If u don't mind, i'll help u...

Jeevika: [mustered a smile] No thanks... U've done more help to me... all that's enough.

Viren came towards her and smiled at her, she frowned at him...

Viren: U know what.. this attitude of yours, makes me love u the most!

She faced him

Viren: Do u know?Kissi ne kaha hai, jab aapko help kar ne ke liye, koi bhi nahi hai, there'll be only ur husband to help u...

Jeevika: [innocently] Kiss ne kaha hai?

Viren: Maine😃

He took a bucket of water, wiped the haldi off from her face. His touch made her close her eyes. He smiled at her, nd touched her arms. She looked at him. He applied water on her hands...Within no time, she was free from turmeric.

Viren: Nani... was right, u're really lookin beautiful now...

Jeevika: Sach mein... Viren there's something in ur face...

Viren: What is it?

Jeevika: [laughing] Turmeric...

Viren: Oo... SRK or VIREN who's the best...

Jeevika understood what he meant...

Jeevika: Viren?

Viren: Ek kissi de doh na...

Jeevika: No...

Viren: Yes...

Jeevika kissed him on his cheek and ran ...

Viren: Hey wait... let me give my return too!!! Pagal.. [smiles]
