After all the formalities of the Haldi ceremonies' of both sides were finished,everyone assembled in the Garden.Siddharth arranged a bonfire.Siddharth requested the elders to join,but,they excused themselves,as they had so many work to do for the wedding.
The boys' sat one one side,while,the girls' sat opposite to them.In the middle,it was the bonfire.
Everybody was chatting after a long time.It felt like as if a group of college friends came on a picnic.Each of them sharing their about how much fun they had in Sid's haldi and what kind of fun,they will have.
In the middle of the convo,Shanaya,faking an anger,spoke up.
''Behzi ji,aapne yeh bilkul thik nahi kiya.Shaa aapke dost hai... Aap humari shaadi mein kyun nahi aaye...Pata hai bhi aapko,ki,maine aapko bohut miss kia..Mere baare mein toh socha hota,ki,aapki iss choti behen pe kya guzregi... Jaiye,hum aapse baat nahi karte..''
Shaleen nudged him and whispered, ''Bangal ki sherni se palaah parha hai.Usse mana le,isse pehle ki woh tera dharr daboch le..''
Behzaad went upto her and knelt in front of her,holding his ears and said, ''I am sorry,Shanu.''
Shanaya looked at him with teary eyes and pulled his hands down.She shook her head in a NO and hugged him.Behzaad smiled at Shanaya's innocent and baby-like gesture and stroked her head.He broke the hug and pecked her forehead.Everybody looked at the beautiful and sacred bonding of brother and sister which Behzaad and Shanaya shared.
Behzaad wiped the tears of Shanaya and said, ''Yeh le,tera gift.''
Shanaya opened the gift and saw that it was an idol of ''Bal Gopal''. She touched it with her forehead and carressed it with her hands.She hugged Behzaad and muttered a ''Thank You.''
''Yeh Bal Gopal ji tere liye hai,Allah kare ki tera aur Shaleen ko baccha jab iss duniya pe ayega,toh,inhi ki tarha natkhat ho.Usse duniya ki saari aashirwaad aur pyaar mile.Mera aashirwaad humesha tere saath hai.Always stay happy.''
behzaad blessed Shanaya.
Everybody clapped loudly.Shanaya kept the Bal Gopal in the beautifully wrapped box,carefully,so that,it doesnt break.
The whole night,everybody sang and danced and enjoyed every single moment of that specific time.
