Main aa gayi... Again with an os! Let's have some fun with our ShraMan! What say...
Ohh yes, please excuse the typos! Not proof read.
Arranged Marriage
"Maaa ahiste...gir jaogi..." I rolled my eyes! "Aise kaun chalta hai..."
"Areee woh dekh train khadi hai... Ac two tier kis taraf hogi, pata to karna padega na... " Priya my mother huffed!
"Maa relax... Kya Papa dekhona... " Somehow I was never capable of ccontroling my ever enthusiastic mother at these moments! My mother was always tensed, as if sky was going to fall on her head at every step.
"Haan Priya, slow down a little no! " said Avinash, my father.
"Kya slow down! Har waqt aise aloof rehena bhi sahi nahin hai! Hadh hai... Jawan beti ki baap ho! Itni door jaa rahe ho, tension nahin hoti kya! "
Papa sighed! He knew his wife would not listen to anyone, at least not now.
"Maa train 8 baje ki hai! Abhi sirf 7 baje hai.. Itni kya jaldi hai aapko! "
"Tu chup kar. Baad mein bhid mein kaun jayega itna luggage le kar! Jaldi pair chala! Tu bhi dhund ke iss train mein hi booking kar di! Do raatein abhi train mein bitao! Uparse pata nahin baki k log kaise honge coupe mein."
"Humein usse kya Priya! "
"Hummein. Usse kya matlab.. .beti jaa rahi hai sath.. Kuch bhi!... "
I had to put on my earphone, at least I was out of the brawl now!
We sat at our reserved seats, Maa, looked around "Waise saaf sudhra hai... Kyun! Aur tu abhi se upar chad ke kyun baithi... "
"Kyunki mujhe shanti chahiye! " I answered from the upper barth.
"Pata nahin yeh kaisi ladki hai! Upar se hotel ki bookings bhi computer se kardi! Kamre ki ek photo dikhake alag ghar de diya to! Pure paise bhi de diye! "
"Maaa please aisa kuch nahin hoga! Aap please shant raho! Isiliye kaha tha ki flight lelo par nahin... Aapko train se jana tha! Ab please 2dinon tak train mein shant rahengi! "
"Haan Priya chodo na... Tum bhi na...chalo let's eat.. Kya kya pack kya hai tumne! " Papa tried to control the situation.
And I, Suman Tiwari, going for a short holiday to Shimla with my family. I am an MBA and got a job 6months back. So thought why not go for a short holiday. It's always feel special, when you could go for a holiday with your parents, that too at your own money for the first time.
It was already 7.45 pm. Another family, entered the coupe. They were a family of 3 too, husband wife and their son. The lady there, introduced herself to my maa.
"Hello.. I am Nirmala.. Travelling to Shimla?... "
"Hello... Priya here... Yes... Shimla... And you?
" I rolled my eyes again! This train is going straight to Shimla.
"Ohh wow, okay this is my husband Ramnath Malhotra, and this is my son Shravan. " she declared with so much pride.
"Ohhh hello...my husband Avinash, and that is my daughter Suman... Wohi humein ghumane le jaa rahi hai... 6 mahine huye hai naukri mili hai... " I mumbled a soft hello, and instantly that boy Shravan looked at me! He was handsome, actually very handsome, his light brown eyes, his perfect brows, his lomg eyelashes...everything was like beautiful. ..oh yes, I forgot, his stubbly look. That too made him more irresistible! I smiled feebly. He nodded.
"wah very good. Mera beta bhi zabardasti humein iss trip le aya hai... Main to soch rahi thi.. Pata nahin itna lamba safar kaise katega! Thank god aaplog mile... Kaafi achchi banegi abhi... "
"Haan haan bilkul... " maa again seemed excited!
But this Shravan was making me nervous, the way he was looking at me, was making me blush! What was it with him!
Papa and Ramnath uncle gelled well too. They were now debating on the current cancellation of notes, and, maa and Priya aunty, they were chatting like both of them were best friends. I thanked god, at least maa would not freak out anymore.
I had to come down for dinner; again... Shravan. Everyone was chatting, and laughing but he was only looking at me. I couldn't take that any more! And said "What you want something! "
"No thank you! " he seemed to be irritated! whatever! Who cared!
We reached to Shimla.
"Suman tujhe pata hai... Woh log bhi humare hotel mein rukenge! " Maa smiled after gettung into a taxi.
"Haan suna maine... To? "
"Nahin... Achcha hai na ek sath ghumenge! Company mil gayi humein. Family bhi achchi hai kyun!"
"Priya... Tum bhi na... Kuch ghante mein tumhe pata chal gaya family achchi hai... Ajeeb hai... " papa laughed looking at me.
"Haan pata chal gaya... Woh Ramnath ji kitne bade lawyer hai... Pata hai... Nirmala bata rahi thi... Aur Shravan bhi to lawyer hai... Aur Nirmala khud kitni achchi hai! "
So the situation was like, Maa and Nirmala aunty were inseparable now! They were behaving like school girls. Uncle and Papa were having their own conversation on politics and social problems.
But Shravan and I couldn't talk much apart from hi and hellos. He seemd a nice guy. A bit reserve but nice. Both of ours family were together all the time, we had actually fun. Occasionally Shravan looked at me with those piercing eyes making me blush!
Today was really cold, was enjoyed cold from the balcony attached to our room. Shravan came outside of his room too... And looked at me... "Thand lag jayegi.. .sar dhaklo apna... " this was the first time he talked to me spontaneously!
"Main thik hoon! You don't worry! "
He shrugged and went inside. This man needed serious help. "pata nahin yeh aise kyun behave kar raha hai... "
This was the last day of our trip. We were all at the hotel's dining area. Nirmala aunty cleared her throat.
"Ahemmm.. .okay.. .me and Priya decided something... Shravan.. Suman... " she looked at both of us.
"Kya maa.. ." Shravan seemed genuinely interested!
"Woh hum chahte hain ki tum donon matlab.. .tum aur Suman ek dusre se shaadi..."
"Haan iska matlab yeh nahin hai ki zabardasti hai koi.. .humein pasand ayi ho to tumhe bhi pasand aayegi! Bass hum chahte hai ki tum donon ek dusre se baat karo aur soch samajh ke faisla lo! " My maa completed.
Me and Shravan, both looked at each other. It was one awkward moment for us. I didn't know what to say, so I kept looking at him, taking the queue he said, "Okay we will talk about it! " Did I see a smirk on his face! Might be!
We met after the dinner, went for walk, I wasn't sure what to say, suddenly I felt a bone crushing hug! He took me in his arms, and lifted couple of feet from the ground!
"What are you doing! " I hissed!
"Apne honewali biwi ko gale laga raha hoon! "
"Shravannn" I gasped!
"Please yaar aur nahin raha jaa raha hai mujhse! "
"Are you mad, chodo mujhe! Koi dekhega to kya sochega! " I panicked!
"Ohhh come on Sumoo, bahut ho gaya yeh natak! Aur nahin reh sakta! 7 days damn it! You were in front of my eyes, aur main thik se baat bhi nahin kar paa raha tha tumse! "
"Haan... In front of your eyes, isiliye uss tarah dekh rahe the! Pagal! Sab ko pata chal jata!"
" Waise kaafi achcha idea tha haan tumhara, kisiko shaq bhi nahin hua k hum donon ek dusre ko pehele se jaante hai, woh bhi 2 saal se. Aur ek common friends k through ek party mein mile the!"
"Ab kya karti, meri maa love marriage k bilkul khilaf hai, aur tumhari maa bhi... Aise hi manana tha! " I winked!
"Sach mein, maine to socha tha kya gayi tu mere haath se! Ufff I missed you so much! " again he took me in his arms! "So, would be Mrs. Malhotra, aapko yeh arrange marriage mubarak ho! Ab chalein, bata de sabko, hum donon taiyar hai! " he pecked on my lips!
Okay, that's it. I know, this is not something you all are expecting, but hope you people will like it! And please let me know, chalo bye for now. Will eagerly wait for your comments or messages.
