Bharosa? Did she say he had faith in him? Or was it faith in his bank balance? His thoughts seemed alien to him too. Somewhere deep down he knew this was the girl he fell for and that this girl may have a lot of issues but she did trust him explicitly. Monetary thoughts be damned. He spoke cause no one else did, "Where's the funeral?". All he got was puzzled looks. "Arey! Tum log aaise khade ho jaise koi marr gaya ho!".
"Bhaiyya please! Kam se kam aj ke din toh aaisi baaten na karo!"
"Toh mai bhi toh yehi bol raha hoon na! Ke tere bhai ki shaadi hui hai and teri shakal dekh! Abhi bahar phudak raha tha! Bohot khush hoon, ab kya hua!"
"Bhaiya khush toh mai abhi bhi bohot hoon, par yeh tareeka aapka sahi nahi tha. Aur mere samjh nahi aa raha itni jaldi aapne Magistrate ko mana liya, bina notice period ke shaadi bhi kar li..."
"Uff Pushkar! Pehle toh tujhe meri abilities pe shaq hai kya! MAi Shravan Malhotra hoon chote! Jo chahoon, karke rehta hoon." He said plainly looking into Suman's eyes.
He continued, "Aur tareeka sahi nahi tha? Legally shadi ki hai! It's the utmost proof of marriage."
"Bhaiya mai legally baat nahi kar raha. Morally, socially yeh galat hai. Sabko kitni umeeden thi iss shaadi se."
"Haan toh umeeden toh thi, par kya kare, dulhan ko bohot simple aur bohot sasti shadi chahiye thi."
"Lekin Shravan..", Preeti began. "Di, simple shaadi chahti thi yeh toh.."
"Beyond her expectations hai. Yehi na? Dekho Preeti, tumhari behen ab meri biwi hai, aur uski har khushi har khwaish ka khayal rakhna meri zimmedaari hai. Aur tum jaanti ho mai jo karta hoon, I give it my best. Iski shaadi ke prepartions mai I left no stone unturned, Tulips tak le aya. Ab iss baar bilkul simple chahiye thi shaadi toh I did the best simplistically possible."
Suman was aghast, he brought up her previous marriage as if it was nothing. She trusted him yes. But what was he doing and why was beyond her.
"Ab bas na, aur kuch doubts hai? Ya ab hum dono ko tum dono congratulate karoge?"
Hugs were exchanged, so were pleasantries, Shravan had bought some chocolate which he offered Suman first and then to Pushkar and Preeti, "Shadi hui hai yaar! Muh meethat karo!"
"Ghar pe sabko kaise...?", asked Suman.
"Shaadi ki hai. Legally Mrs. Suman Shravan Malhotra ho." He said rolling his tongue. "Duniya ko batane mai kya issue ho sakta hai! We are man and wife and mujhe kisi ko yeh batane mai na koi sharm hai na koi jhijhak. Chalo, Tiwari Killa chalte hai. Sabko good news deni hai! Aur Pushkar, ek grand party throw karni hai, saari responsibility teri."
"Ji bhaiya, Preeti aur mai sab kar lenge."
"Aur haan Pushkar, no expense sparred. Akhir Malhotra's ki part hai."
"Yeh bhi koi kehne ki baat hai bhaiya! Of course!"
Suman could feel the barbs in his tone but she could care less at the moment. It was still sinking in that she was married. To Shravan. Just like that.
