She came out of the bathroom wearing her pyjamas when Yuvraj knocked.
"Topper...tera hogaya? Main abhi aajaun?" he enquired waiting for an answer.
He came inside with two plates and kept them on the side table.
"Yuvraj...tumne khaana banaya...woh bhi itne? Kya zaroorat thi...snacks hi chalta na" she said a little surprised.
"Ohh maate...itna bhi ab mann mein laddoo na phod...ki abhi main din raat teri sewa karunga" he replied sarcastically.
Suvreen frowned and looked irritatedly at him. Yuvraj realised it was not the right time for any sarcastic remarks. He ran forward to explain.
"Woh kaka pehle hi bana ke chale gaye thhe. Maine bas garam kardiya."
Suvreen pulled the table near the sofa and gave him his plate.
They ate their food in silence. After having the food Suvreen offered to wash the dishes and carried the dishes to the kitchen. After some minutes she came back and saw Yuvraj still on the sofa and in a deep thought.
"Umm...nahi mujhe thoda padhna hai...do weeks mein ab exams hain. Tum so jao"
Actually both of them wanted the other to take up the bed so that they could escape and sleep somewhere else. It was very awkward to share the bed but they did not know what to do also.
They looked at each other for a second and started in unison.
"Mujhe pata hai..." and after a few more seconds of eye talk they knew what the other wanted and laughed.
"Ab tu meri baat samajh gayi toh ditectly bol raha hu...tu bed pe so ja main kahin bhi manage kar lunga"
"Nahi...tum kyu...main manage kar lungi" she protested.
"Tu toh waise bhi bed se bhi gir jati hai... agar kahin manage karke kal kamar todi toh mujhpar hi blame aayega"
"Kya main kab giri thi?"
"Nahi exams ke time jab subah subah main tujhe jab uthaata tha...tab toh main hi tujhe uthakar neeche rakh deta tha nahi?"
"Haa woh bas..."
"Bas kya?" said Yuvraj giving a smile of triumph.
"Haa toh phir tum jaise snail ke tarah sote ho...bed par soke hi tumhara muscle cramp ho jata hai...aur subah tedha gardan leke ghumte ho...phir aunty nahi toh mujhe apne haath ka exercise karake usse theek karana padta hai"
"Haa woh toh bas"
"Bas kya?" Now it was Suvreen's turn to give that victory smile.
"Dekho ladhai karke koi fayda nahi" said Suvreen.
"Woh mujhe pata hai ladkiya awkward ho jati hai aise situation mein. Isliye..." said Yuvraj looking down.
"Haa toh ladkiya bhi samajh jate hain ki ladkon ke mann mein kya chal raha hai...aur waise bhi you are my best friend yaar...bachpan se tumhe janti hun...trust karti hoon tumhe" she replied giving an assuring smile.
So then both of them moved towards the bed and took their respective sides. The day was hectic so they both fell asleep as soon as they landed on the bed.
Suvreen got up early in the morning by the alarm clock. She finished her daily chores and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. She did not know much about cooking but she did know some common things atleast. She made some sandwich and looked at the clock. 6:30, it showed. There was one hour and half still left for her college. She went to her room and took out her books to study for sometime.
Yuvraj woke up and saw Suvreen all dressed and was on the sofa with a book in her hand. He wished a quick "Good morning" to her and left the bed to complete his work too. After he came back being dressed for office he looked at Suvreen who was sitting infront of the mirror frowning.
Before he could say anything,
"Yuvraj!!" she called out.
"Kya hua?"
Suvreen looked with a worried face at him carrying the mangalsutra on one hand and the box of sindoor in the other. Yuvraj understood what the problem was.
"Ye mangalsutra...sindoor hai gannuji kya kya chupaun...aur kaise...mujhe bahot awkward lagega going with all this you know "
"Actually maine bhi kissiko nahi bataya office mrin iss shaadi le baare mein...so its ok"
"Ab please mujhe ismein help karo...main inhe nikalna bhi mahi chahti aur dikhana bhi nahi"
"Nikal hi do...simple"
"Nahi na...woh mumma shayad aayengi aaj yahan...toh tum toh jaante ho na unhe...chote chote cheezon ka bhi dhyaan rakhti hai...aise dekhengi toh shayad..."
she explained as she felt much awkward. She hoped this day had never come.
Yuvraj nodded. He opened the wardrobe and brought a scarf. He went near her and wound it in her neck just as to cover her mangalsutra.
"Arre ye toh main bhool hi gayi thi"
Yuvraj simply shrugged.
"Ab iska kya karoon?" she indicated the sindoor.
He laughed seeing her. Suvreen was confused.
"Mujhe laga tum ladkiyaan styles aur fashion ke maamle mein maahir ho...par tujhe dekh ke ab nahi lag raha"
"Haan toh nahi hu toh kya karu?"
She looked at him as if pleading for help.
He simply picked up the comb and combed her hair in such a way that some hair fell on her forehead. She simply sat and watched what he was doing. He further tied the hair at the back into a long pony tail as she always did. He then took some sindoor and lifted the hair at front and put the slightest yet visible trace of the sindoor on her forehead.
Till then both of them felt nothing but that, that very moment both hearts skipped a bit. Suddenly they started feeling a sense of duty, respect and protectiveness over each other. Their eyes stared deep into each other's to find out the answers to their suddenly popped questions. But neither could find the answers as the same questions reflected in their eyes.
Precap-
So again here with a stupid,smashing whatever you say update. It was literally like shaadi tune kya kiya at last ya phir sindoor tune kya kiya...hai na? š
Ok now I'll be waiting for your comments now.
