Mumbai

14^th February 2013

9 am

"Congrats yaar!! No one would have ever thought that you would end up getting married!"

"Bhabhi! Keep the bouquet on the left side of the table, OK?"

"Hey Joaldine! Congrats dude!"

"Bring the juice quickly kaka. The guests are waiting."

"Tell me Mr. Casanova. Who is that unlucky girl?"

"OH JUST QUIET DOWN, WILL YOU?"

The wedding hall that was buzzing like a beehive went into a deep silence. All heads turned with curiosity to find the source of the voice. Standing in the middle of a group of giggling girls was the man behind the voice. He was snapping his head from one side to the other, glaring at each and every one.

Suddenly a quivering voice of an old lady broke the dead silence. "Who is that mad boy standing there?"

That was the tension breaker. The whole hall broke into fits of laughter. Once started, everyone found it difficult to control their laugh. From somewhere in between the laughter someone called out to the old lady, "Aunty, that is not a mad boy. That is the hero of the day. The bride groom, Joaldine Philip."

"Hey Aunty Ji! How are you? Thank you, by the way. For making me a lunatic on my wedding eve."

"Jo? Why are you talking like this? She was just joking wasn't she? If we don't have fun during weddings, when will we have it?", saying so a lady stepped near to Jo and kept a hand on his shoulder.

"I am sorry mom.", Jo turned to her and said with a puppy dog face. "It's just that I am trying to talk with Sara, and…" he again turned to glare at everyone, "these guys are not allowing me to hear what my soon-to-be-wife is saying!"

The hall that had went quiet hearing Jo's heartfelt apology to his mother, burst into fits of laughter again.

11 am

Joaldine, or Jo, as he was lovingly known to his friends, was the only son of Mr. Philip John, a most successful business tycoon. Though the sole heir of his father's towering business, he was far from having a business mind. The reason behind this might have been the result of being pampered by a loving mother, Mrs. Teresa Philip. And now, he was getting married to the girl of his dreams, Sara.

But presently Jo was very, mind it, very busy on his blackberry.

"…………I know Sara, I know. I am very irresponsible. I should have send you a bouquet this morning. Please listen to me naa darling? Darling? Darl…….."

"Look who is here, Jo.", Jo's mother said from behind.

"Listen, I'll call yo….."

"She cut the phone? No probs, I'll call her later."

Jo turned around to look at the newcomers. He was really getting tired of this never ending list of guests.

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Heads turned throughout the hall, wondering what had happened to the bride groom. Then they went back to their own works. After all, everyone knew that the boy was crazy.

"Sameer and Arjun??? How did you guys get here?"

"Calm down Jo. We don't want to tell our sister-in-law that her husband just had an attack.", grinned the man standing in front of Jo. He was wearing a sherwani with a colour combination of white and blue.

"Oh shut up, Sameer.", Jo replied while giving a friendly slap on Sameer's upper arm. He turned to the person next to Sameer. "Arjun Raute. I never thought you would come." Arjun, wearing a sherwani of white and red combination, pulled Jo into a warm bear hug, but not before asking, "Why wouldn't I come?"

Jo struggled out of Arjun's strong grip, glared at him for hugging so hard, and said, "I never sa……….."

Jo was not able to complete his sentence. A loud shout rose from amongst the crowd, "Jo!! My big man, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This time no one bothered to look at what was happening near the bride- groom.

Before Jo could respond to the excited call, he felt himself going back a few steps. Someone had hugged him so hardly, that he found it difficult to breath. Suddenly, the hands left his side. Standing in front of him was Rahul. Oh, yeah, just Rahul. We don't give more explanations for our cousins, do we?

The men stood there, laughing their head out, at how ridiculous it must have looked to the others. Arjun and Sameer stood there, smiling, wondering who this man was.

Before they could start making introductions a sweet voice came from behind. Someone was just standing behind Rahul, her view being blocked to all others.

"You guys are crazy. People will think that you guys are meeting after a long time. All of us went for a long drive on Monday, didn't we?"

Rahul slowly stepped to the side, showing who the speaker was to Jo. Standing there was a girl in her 20's. She was dressed in a simple salwar in pure white colour. But something about her whole appearance radiated joy.

May things happened simultaneously. A wide smile spread itself on Rahul's lips. The girl looked up to him with a slight smile too. Jo grinned cheekily. And Arjun. Arjun stepped backwards, clasped Sameer's arm, and whispered, "Riya!"

Riya stepped forwards, towards Jo. She hugged him and said, "Congrats, Jojo Mojo."

"Ri!" Saying so, Jo lunged towards Riya. But Riya was a little too quick. She side hugged Rahul, stuck her tongue out, and started making fun of Jo.

"Jo, stop yaar, leave her alone.", Rahul said, while smiling at the girl near him.

"After you got your fianc, you don't want anyone else, isn't it?"

"Come on now, Jo. Don't be such a complaint box. I am sorry, OK?". Riya spoke up. She turned to Rahul, tugged at his arm and said, "We'll go meet Teresa Aunty and come back." Riya left, without having seen anyone else.

Rahul nodded a yes, smiled at Jo, and left with Riya, looking like a love-lost puppy.

"See that guy?", Jo began turning to Arjun and Sameer. "That is my cousin, Rahul George. He used to such a good sport. After his engagement, he had turned into a Majnu. Oh! How I wish the old Rahul. Anyways, that girl is Riya. Riya Mukherjee. Rahul's fianc."

Suddenly Jo's mother called from nearby, "Jo? Come here for a second, will you?"

After saying a hurried 'one minute', Jo went to his mother, not realizing the storm that he had brewed in the heart of Arjun. Sameer patted Arjun's back, and whispered, "Don't worry. I don't think she saw you."

"I don't want her to see me. She looks happy now. I don't want to ruin it. We'll better leave."

But they never made it to the door. The light suddenly dimmed, with a single spotlight at the centre. Realizing that some dance was about to begin, they stepped backwards. Suddenly music started flowing in.

( Play song:

Aa Aaa Aaa Aaa Aaa
Aa Aaa Aaa Aaa Aaa

Riya stepped into the spotlight.

Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa
Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa
Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Hai Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Hai Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa

Riya was singing the song, going around Rahul. Everyone present there watched, mesmerized be the couple.

Wow O O Wo Ae Ae
Bindiya Mehndi Kangna Chudi Jhumar Gehna
Pyaase Pyaase Naina Sune Padein Tere Bina
Bindiya Mehndi Kangna Chudi Jhumar Gehna
Pyaase Pyaase Naina Sune Padein Tere Bina

Here Riya sees remembers something, and stands still. Hazy images flow in front of her eyes. A tear falls from her eyes. Wiping it quickly, she starts dancing again.

Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Hai Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa
Palko Pe Khwab Sajana
Aankhiyo Se Neeind Churana
Roothe Piya Ko Haske Mana Na
Palko Pe Khwab Sajana
Aankhiyo Se Neeind Churana
Roothe Piya Ko Haske Mana Na
Yeh Haqeeqat Hai Ya Ke Fasana
Yeh Haqeeqat Hai Ya Ke Fasana

She pulls Rahul into the spotlight, and twirls one more time, looking at the crowd.

Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa
Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa

She suddenly sees him, looking as dashing as ever, in a white and red sherwani. Arjun, her mind says.

Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Hai Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera
Hai Nai Lagda Tere Bina Dil Mera

She rests her head on Rahul's shoulder and sings, looking at Arjun, with tears falling continuously from her eyes.

Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Hi Jaa
Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa Sajna Aa Hi Jaa
