Chapter 16
Next Day
In MM, nirmala informed shravan that he need to get ready for his haldi as soon as tiwari's will come they will start his haldi. Pushkar and rishi was helping him to get ready in his room
"kya bhaiyya, aaj ke din to apani hotness thodi kam kar lete, waise bhi aapko to piloo hi ho jana hai" pushkar teased shravan and hifived to rishi
shravan glared him "chote mein to bas tere shadi ka wait karunga ab se nahi tera jina mushkil kar diya na to apana naam badal dunga" shravan warned him with straight face
"bro don't stare him like that, i second him, yaar tu to din ba din jyada hi hot hote jaa raha hai" shravan stared rishi in amusement for a moment
"ehh.. sale tu bhi esaki tarah chip bate karane laga, ek min kahi tune interest toh change nahi kar diya?" his eyes narrowed making rishi gasped "ruk tu ria ko batata hu"
"aie mere baap age se tuze kuch nahi bolunga, please mere ijjat ke sath khilwad mat kar, i am straight man you know it" he joined his hands together and bowed down his head "please ria ke dimakh me yeh sab mat dal meri jaan le legi wo you know her very well" he pleaded and shravan smirked with smug
"kaun tumhari jaan le raha hai rishi, aur tum yeh shravan ke samane haath jodke kya kar rahe ho?" she narrowed her eyes at duo making rishi flinched at ria's voice
"are koi woh kya hai na rishi bol raha tha ke" shravan gave once over to rishi who was pleading with puppy face "mein taiyyar hone me etana time le raha hu na to wahi bol raha tha ki mein esaki jaan le raha hu" he concealed smartly and rishi sighed
ria sensed the lie but decided not to intrude much as its boys talk, she rolled her eyes and headed to shravan "waise shravan, ek baat to manani padegi jitana time tumane liya taiyyar hone me its paid off, you are looking dapper in this simple yellow kurta and pajama also, agar aaj suman tumhe dekhati na toh really flat ho jati" ria teased him while nodging him with shoulder "lekin kya kare ab tum dono ek dusare se nahi mil sakate" ria made a fake sad face
"correct di, hum log bhi yahi bol rahe the, bhaiyya agar aapka shringar pura ho gaya ho toh chale?" pushkar jested and all grinned broadly making his face flushed
"tum log mere dost ho ki dushman ho, yeh pushkar toh hai hi mera dushman tum dono bhi i cant belive man" shravan shrieked and ria and rishi stopped smiling
"oho mein to jis chiz ke liye aayi thi woh bhul gayi" ria slapped her forehead "chalo niche aunty bula rahi hai, suman ke yaha se haldi aane wali hai"
she turned to rishi "rishi you know i am so excited, i really wish ke mein suman ke taraf hoti" ria blithe but next moment her smile faded "i wish ladki ke yaha ki bhi sari rasme dekh pati but i cant go there like that na" rishi side hugged her
shravan stared ria intently "kash mein ria ko bol pata ki jao sumo ke yaha, but i don't know how sumo will think about it, ria being a single child never experienced relations and her parent follow western culture to bechari kabhi bhi yeh sab nahi dekh payi" shravan's phone ranged taking him out from his thoughts
without heeding caller he received call "hello"
"Hello shravan suno mamiji aur mamaji nikal gaye hai yaha se 15 mins pahale ab pohach jayenge okay and sorry late ho gaya na thoda actually mamaji aur mamiji ke bich hamesha ki tarah nok jhok chal rahi thi" she kept chattering with smile and he just hummed still lost in ria's thoughts
she felt weird "mauni baba ab kuchh bologe bhi ya aise hi humm karate rahoge bhaise ki tarah" she jested
"what, you just said?" shravan irked
"kuchh nahi chalo ab yakin ho gaya that you are sane muze to laga shadi ka shock lag gaya hai jisaki wajah se kahi maun wrat na leliya ho tumane, aisa hota to mein kitna bore ho jati shadi ke baad" she quipped making shravan smile
"sumo you are really something, you really started understanding me very well" his face lit up with a beatific smile
"okay we are good ain't we?" she raised her brows in question
"yes, we are"
"okay shravan suno na ek baat puchani thi muze" she stopped in between and started biting her lip in tension
he sensed trepidation in her voice "sumo kya hua tell me, you know very well you can talk to me about anything correct"
his calm voice relaxed sumo, she nodded but next moment she slapped her forehead as she was on phone" yes i know" she sighed "hum logo ko jyada rituals ke sath shadi nahi karni thi lekin ab jab ho rahi thi to.." she again stopped
"sumo go on"
"atually meri koi badi behan nahi hai, aur anuj bhiyaa aur bhabhi bhi shadi me nahi aa paye to mein soch rahi thi, i mean agar tumhe thik lage to ria can do my gharoli rasam?" sumo asked nervously
"can you believe tumhara call aane se pahale mein yahi soch raha tha ki ria ko tumhare yaha kaise bheju?" he smiled gleefully which pique trio's interest toward him who was busy in their chit chat till now "i mean she is really fascinated by all rituals, ek min"
"ria sumo puchh rahi hai ki tum usaki Gharoli ki rasm karogi kya? actually woh rasam married bahan ya bhabhi karati hai but anuj bhaiyya nahi aaye na so will you?" he raised his brow in question
"yes yes yes, i will be more than happy to do that" ria beamed and clapped her hands like a child rishi stared her lovingly
"haan sumo woh karegi, so ab se ria tumhari sister ban gayi good tum sambhalna ab es chatter box ko waise tum ek dusare ko kafi suit karati ho" rishi and pushkar chuckled on shravan's tease
"shravannn..." ria and sumo shrieked in unison
"whoa! see datati bhi ek sath ho" he chortled at both girls irritation, he heard nirmala calling them
"okay chalo bye maa bula rahi hai shayad mamaji log aa gaye bye"
"okay bye" both ended call
Meanwhile at downstairs everyone were anxiously waiting for tiwari's,
"Nirmala ek kaam karo na call karke dekho unhe" ramnath suggested while coming out from his room when he saw all ladies were waiting for tiwari's
"aye khote kitani baar call karenge 3 bari kar chuki hai wo phone, en logo ko to time ki koi parwah hi nahi hai" dadi chewed out ramnath's suggestion with pointed glare
all shut their mouth for good since dadi was really pissed off with tiwari's
"achha kamini chal tab tak chuaki lagate hai aur baki taiyyariya dekhate hai" nirmala and kamini went to have check on preparations
nirmala got call from nanu informing manju and sameer left with haldi and they will reach in 10 mins and also apologized for delay to dadi,
"Shravan, shravan niche aa jao woh log pohach rahe hai" nirmala called out shravan from downstairs
Shravan along with pushkar, rishi and ria came to living room, tiwari also reached MM in next 5 mins
They were welcomed by malhotra's and shravan took blessing by touching their feets
"manjuji chaliye hum log haldi taiyyar karate hai already late ho gaya hai" nirmala took manju with her
"maaf kar dijiyega woh ghar pe sab karate karate late ho gaya thoda" an expression of regret covered manju's face and she smiled sheepishly
"are koi baat nahi hota hai, chaliye jaldi jaldi haldi taiyyar karate hai" nirmala gave reassuring smile to manju and they joined kamini to prepare haldi paste for shravan
Nirmala made him sit on chauki prepared for haldi at backyard all surrounded him, first nirmala came and put tika on shravan's forehead and feed him sweet
"haye kitna pyara lag raha hai na mear beta kamini"
"haanji bhabhi akhir puttar kisaka hai bhai" kamini smiled triumphantly
nirmala placed a kiss on his forehaed and took some haldi paste from bowl and started rubbing it on his face and hands
"maa please jyada nahi lagaieye, aapko pata hai na i dont like it" shravan irked with the sensation of sticky yellow paste on his face
"aye chup kar khote de puttar jyada nahi lagao" dadi reprimanded shravan with glare, he shut his mouth and lowered his head in fright "pure badan pe haldi laga nirmala achhese, usake bina bahu se gora kaise dikhega ye rang khilana chahiye tabhi to humara munda" she pointed finger toward manju and sameer "enaki kudi se gora chitta dikhega" dadi wikned at nirmala who was already turned shravan into a turmeric mess by rubbing yellow paste all over his body
pushkar's mouth turned into complete big O "dadi seriously aapko lagta hai bhiyya aur handsome ban jaye, i mean agar abhi bhi bhiyaa bahar jayenge to 100 ladkiya to aisehi behosh ho jayengi, bhabhi ka to sochiye enaki hotness sambhalate sambhale unka kya hoga?" pushkars amusing comment made everyone laugh harder
"oye chup kar tu kuch kaam hota nahi velle timepass karna hota hai" kamini twisted his ear hardly
"ouch mumma" pushkar yelped holding kamini's hand to stop her "dard ho raha hai na" kamini let out his ear from her hold which was red now
"achha thik chalo bahot ho gayi masti jaldi rasam puri karo en logo ko jana bhi hai, yeh hasi majak to chalate rahega" lalji jumped in save for his son
ramnath came and took some paste and rubbed on shravan's face "beta yeh jo haldi hai na, jo bhi ese chuta hai usape esaka rang chadh jata hai, esi tarah tum aur suman ek dusare pe apana pyar ka rang chadha dena aur hamesha khush rahna" ramnath placed hand on his head for blessing
shravan nodded "ji papa"
kamini came and completed rasam "mera sona puttar, aur bhi sona ho jaa"
lalaji came and did rasam "shravan beta tu bilkul es haldi tarah ho ja, mera matlab hai ki es haldi me jo antiseptic gun hai na use tu apane jivan me le aa, taki tere rishte me kabhi koi jakham na bane" shravan nodded with smile "aur agar bane to use tu pyar se bharna thik hai" he bobbed his head up and down slowly
vandy came and showed her hands which were covered with gloves, everyone stared her amusingly "actually woh kya hai na meine mehandi lagayi hai, aur mehandi aur haldi ka color combination match nahi karta na so i wore gloves" she smiled cutely with blink
"bhabhz you are so cute, koi nahi aap aise hi laga dijiye" shravans lips turned into a quizzical smile
ati and ehan who were playing in living room also came there "mumma aap chachu ko ye yellow yellow kya laga rahi ho?" ehan pointed toward shravan's face startlingly
"are baby chachu ki shadi hai na toh chachu ke chehare pe glow lane ke liye hum log ye haldi unake face pe laga rahe hai" vandy gave a candid reply to her son's query
in the next moment eti was on shravan's lap "mumma muze bhi glow kalna hai shadi me, i will dance na toh sab muze dekhenge, muze bhi chachi ki talah beautiful dikhana hai" she said in her childish tone while adjusting herself on shravan's lap
he also wrapped his hands around her which made ehan jealous and he also slumped on shravans lap pushing eti slightly outward to get enough place to adjust himself "muze bhi glow karna hai mumma, muze bhi haldi lagaiye na plz, mein bhi dance karunga" ehan chirped while joggling on his lap
All malhotra clan was staring them adorably, all knew that eti was carbon copy of her mother so this was expected from her but ehan was unlike her mother he never like all beauty things but today he was also asking for it and realization downed them ITS NOTHING BUT SHEER JEALOUSY
shravan decided to play around more "haan haan bhabhi ek kaam kariye aap na ehan ko bhi laga dijiye, aur waise bhi ye mere sath barat me ghodi pe toh bhaithega na to esake liye bhi ek ladki dhund hi lete hai kyu ehan?" shravan cocked his brow to ehan mischievously "aur wahi pe shadi bhi kar denge"
awe transformed ehan's face,"No No chachu i am very small, how i can marry, mein to money bhi nahi earn karta, mein apane wife ko kaise rakhunga, and mein to baby hu abhi to mere babies kaise honge?" ehan voiced out his dread with very serious face
that was enough for everyone to bust round of laughter on his predicament, vandy some how controlled her laugh "baby yeh sab tumhe kisane bola" that much she managed to say in between her laugh
eit and ehan goggling at all aas both sibs were unable to understand reason for their laugh "aap, dadi, badi dadi aur maaji to bol rahe the na ki ab chachu ki shadi ho jayegi to chachu ko baby hoga" ehan said innocently crossing his arms around his chest with cute pout
All mens gave "WHAT-IS-THIS" look to their wives, shravan's face flushed, pushkar, ria and rishi and others just suppressed their smiles
"haan beta sahi kaha ab aapke chachu ki shadi humari suman ke sath ho jayegi toh jaldihi tum logo ko bhi ek chotasa baby milega khelane ke liye" manju teased adding more into the shrava.s embarrassment
"yeye..yuppie chotu baby ayega" both sibs chirped clapping their hands
finally dadi took over situation feeling pity for her grandson "are tum log bhi jaldi jaldi karo, vandana laga do thodi haldi bachhon ko bhi"
vandy rubbed some haldi on her kids and left giving her husband space, varun came and put some haldi on shrava's face "lo ji rang diya tumhe tumhare suman ke rang me" he beamed and rubbed some paste on his kids faces
"haan bas apane biwi ke rang me rangne se dur bhagte ho" vandy taunted varun
manju smeared his face with paste which was already full of yellow paste "beta humari suman ko kabhi hum logo ki kami mahsus nahi hone dena" shravan gave her reassuring smile, sameer also followed manju and completed rasam
Dadi also completed rasam followed by sumya, rishi and ria. After everyone was done with putting haldi on shravan all youngsters started chasing each other to put haldi on each other, all enjoyed it.
"bas karo ab, rishi tum shravan ko le jao use shower lena hai ab, aur haan use akela mat chodana okay, now he cant go out of the house, so ye tumhari jimmedari hai" nirmala enjoined rishi and he nodded happily "aur haan shravan tumhare kapde bahar nikal ke rakhe hai woh pahan lena okay"
shravan was leaving with rishi suddenly he remembered something and stopped "maa ek min suniye" nirmala reached him quickly
"haan bolo beta kya hua? kuchh chahiye?" nirmala asked with concern
"maa woh actually suman ka phone aaya tha woh chahati hai ki ria usaki gharoli kare toh aapko puchana tha, is it okay?" he asked nervously as he already agreed oblivious to his mothers consent
"are beta esame puchane wali kya baat hai bikul kar sakati hai ria bhi to family hai na" she smiled fondly at rishi
"thank you maa, you are the best, love you so much" he hugged nirmala and went to his room with rishi
Manju and sammer also left after some chit chat.
Shravan got ready after taking shower wearing ivory and yellow sherwani
----------------------------------------------
AT TK
All preparations was done already and all were waiting for manju and sameer to come back to start suman's haldi function
Nanu was sitting in varandah waiting for them, both entered house "etana samay kyu laga tum logo ko, jaha gaye wahi ke ho gaye. yaha sab intejar kar rahe hai usak koi dhyan tha kya?" nanu rebuked both
"are babuji woh un logone late kiya hum log to kah hi rahe the ki jate hai lekin unhone rok liya tha damadji ke haldi ke liye" sammer replied earnestly
"achha thik hai chalo ab jaldi"nanu got up from his sit "rachana ye log aa gaye shuru karo haldi" he yelled while heading inside
rachana started lighting diyas"preeti jaa suman ko le aa" she implored preeti and preeti went to suman's room happily
Preeti came out along with sumo and made her sit on chauki facing diyas, her face glowed more under the divine luminosity of diyas reflexing color of her yellow and cream saree
rachana handed responsibility of keeping diya lighten all time by pouring oil into it to preeti and started haldi.
she took some paste and rubbed on sumo's face then on hands and feets and gave blessings to her, she feed some sweet to suman
Babulal, sameer and manju also did same and gave her blessings
daboo also put some haldi on her face and both cousins smiled affectionately
Nanu came in last, he just kept hand on sumo's head for blessing "beta abse tumhari nayi zindagi ki shuruwat ho rahi hai, yaha jaise sabka dhyan rakhati ho waise hi us ghar me bhi sabka dhyan rakhna aur hamesha khush rahna" their eyes welled up,
"masi bas etani si haldi lagayi hai aur ho gayi haldi. thats not fair" one of the sumo's cousin nidhi said who was from mumbai
"humare mumbai me to aisi fiki fiki haldi nahi hoti hai" she said with pride
"ohh achha ji, to batao kaise hoti hai tumhare mumbai me haldi?" preeti raised her brow tilting her head slightly
all cousins came forward with smirk and covered sumo completely in yellow, preeti also joined them. Later all girls started coloring each other with haldi
"are bas bas, suman jao tum room me naha lo aur humane jo kapade rakhe hai woh pahen lena" manju stopped all and gestured preeti to help suman "aur haan preeti khayal rakhana suman ko akele mat chodana"
"are haan sabse jaroori ab tum damadji se baat nahi kar sakati ho shadi tak thik hai" rachana winked
suman nodded shyly and preeti helped her to get up, she took long shower and get ready in the cloths provided by manju.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After haldi all had lunch, masi insisted suman to take a nap since they will have chuda ceremony in the evening.
Preeti took sumo in her room and made her sleep for sometime as she was not ready to just sleep when all others were so busy with all the preparations
As per suggesting rishi also took ria to Tiwari killa since there was no function at malhotra house for rest of the day
Panditji reached on time for havan, manju asked preeti to get suman reasy for chuda rasam
Preeti came to sumo's room where ria was briefing suman about shravan's haldi "di chaliye jaldi taiyyar ho jaiye panditji aa gaye hai" preeti informed sumo while entering her room
"okay my pretty preeti, abhi ready hoti hu, ria mein abhi aati hu" sumo went to washroom to wash her face which was looking tired because of sleep
ria and preeti chatted while waiting for sumo, within no time suman came out wiping her face with towel "kabhi kabhi na lagta hai ke aram se court marriage kar lete na to achha hota, kitane sare rasam sab hoti hai" sumo whined as she was already tired with so many functions
"suman tum aise bol rahi ho aur mein sochati hu ke meri shadi aise kyu nahi hui" ria clicked her lips in disappointment "lekin ek baat achhi hui mein sare function bahot enjoy kar rahi hu and thank you tumane muze gharoli karane bola" ria beamed
"haan ria woh to hai sabko dekhake lagta hai thik hai etana toh kar hi sakate hai sabke liye, and no need to say thank you to me you are like my sister na" sumo smiled and hugged ria
"achha agar aapka bharat milap ho gaya ho to kya hum log baha chale ya yahi chuda bharne ki rasam hogi" preeti mocked and they broke their hug
"haan meri maa do minute degi mein thoda presentable ho jau?" sumo cocked her brow
"are kya baat hai di ab tak to aajhalli banake rahati thi jyada looks pe dhyan nahi deti thi, jiju ke aane se aap to badalane lagi hai hai na?" preeti wiggled her brows
"tu chup kar, aisa kuchh nahi hai uar agar aisehi bahar gayi to mamiji meri jaan le lengi" she combed her hairs "aur masi woh to pata hai na tuze" she lined her eyes with kohl and put some gloss on her lips and got ready real quick
ria bemused "suman tum etane jaldi taiyyar ho gayi woh bhi bina kisi mackup ke, still you are looking beautiful dear"
"thank you ria" sumo blushed "ab chale late ho raha hai"
they cam out from room.
Panditji was already all prepared for havan was just waiting for suman, sumo sat down near havan, manju and sameer also took their sits on either sides of suman, panditji lit fire for havan and started chanting mantras, rachana, babulal and nanu also sat around the fire
Panditji wrapped mauli thread on suman's hand while chanting mantra's, he also did same with other family members.
Rachana covered suman's face with white cloth so tha she cant see the bangles at the time when it is put on her wrists
Manju take out beautiful maroon and ivory bangles from cover and put them in bowl contains liquid mixture containing milk and rose petals to purify them and handed to sameer
sameer slides one by one bangles onto her wrist , ria and preeti gleefully showered rose petals on sumo.
when sameer finished sliding all bangles in her both hands rachana removed cloth from her face, sameer fed her some sweet and gave her blessing.
All elders cam one by one and gave her blessing by touching her chuda.
panditji explained suman importance of chuda earnestly as requested by rachana "Beta chuda ek dulhan ke solah shringar ka bahot mahatvpurn hissa hai, ye nayi naveli dulhan ki nishani hai, yahi nahi aisa mana jata hai ki yeh dulha dulhan ke jivan me khushiya lata hai, har dulhan ka saubhagya hota hai chuda pahanana, aur yeh jo lal rang hai na yeh pati patni ke rishte ko gahra aur majboot karta hai, yeh dulhan ke naye ghar me sukh aur samruddhi ka pratik mana jata hai, ese tumhe kam se 45 din hana hoga , chaho to jyada din bhi pahan sakati ho" suman nodded and listen all while carefully understanding the ritual
"thank you masi, apane panditji ko esaka matlab samazene bola" sumo side hugged rachana
rachna cupped her face with one hand "beta tuze bachpan se janati hu jab tak tumhe kisi bhi chiz ka pura matlab nahi samazata tum use pure man se nahi accept karti ho, aur yeh to tumhari shadi hai etana to banta tha na" both giggled
Manju handed her thal having her wedding joda and jwellaries, sumo took it and touched her feet for blessings, ria clicked sumo's picture and immediately sent to shravan
All girls gathered near sumo for Kalide Ceremony, preeti put kalide on her write hand and left was grabbed by ria along with anjali.
All her cousins started dancing preeti, anjali and ria also joined them
Banno rani tumhe sayani
Hona hee tha hona hee tha hona hi tha
Ek raja ki tumko rani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
Banno rani ek din tumko
Banno raja ke ghar doli mein jake
Ham sakhiyon se yun anjani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
ria pulled suman to dance with them, she denied first but joined them when nanu insisted her
Naino mein hai kajal ki dore
Mehndi se rache haath gore
Jhumar tera dam dam dhamke
Jumka tera jam jam janke
Haar gaale mein jagmagaye
Anchal tera reshan reshan hole hole madham madham
Tu mann hee mann muskaiye, tu mann hi man muskaiye
Sukh sapno mein yun mastani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
Banno rani tumhe sayani
Hona hee tha hona hee tha hona hi tha
Banne raja jo paas aaye
Chahe ke yeh ghunta uthaye
Dekho banno maam na jaana
Mukhra unko na dikhlana
Pehle sau baatein manvana
Kehna bolo karke salami banno karunga teri gulami
Main to hun tera deewana han mai to hun tera deewaana
Tumhe deewana tumhe deewani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
Banno rani tumhe sayani
Hona hee tha hona hee tha hona hi tha
Ek raja ki tumko rani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
Banno rani ek din tumko
Banno raja ke ghar doli mein jake
Ham sakhiyon se yun anjani
Hona hi tha hona hi tha hona hi tha
Banno rani tumhe sayani
Hona hee tha hona hee tha hona hi tha
After dance all her cousins surrounded her "di chaliye na dekhate hai kisaka number hai next?" nidhi chirped
sumo gave them quizzical look "tum logo ka kuchh nahi ho sakata " she shook her head
she stayed in center and all her cousins bowed down in front of her one by one and she started shaking her hands on their heads but no one got lucky get kalide.
All forced preeti , preeti bend down and on her mere surprise kalide falls on her head "are wah meri bahana ka hai next number kya baat hai?" sumo hugged preeti.
Remaining evening was fun affair for all, ria and rishi had dinner with tiwari's and left for malhotra mension.
----------------------------------------------------
On the other hand shravan got sumo's picture when pandiji tying mauli on shravan's hand, he quickly glanced her picture and kept phone aside without giving any lingering look for it.
When all had dinner and retired to their rooms he came to his room. he was feeling uneasy so went to balcony to have some fresh air, he fished out phone from his pocket and open suman's photo sent by ria, by seeing that chuda, thal of joda and jwellaries he felt so nervous, many thought crossed in his head,
He took quick shower and changed himself into blue vest and tracks, he knew only one person is there in whole house with whom he can speak freely so without wasting a second he headed towards saumya's room
He knocked on her door hesitantly thinking about is this the right time to talk with her "shravan aa jao andar" he heard saumya's voice astounded him, he slowly pushed door and walked inside
"bua aapko kaise pata chala ki mein hu" he stared her with blankly
"esame koi badi baat nahi hai" she removed her glasses and closed her book keeping it aside "baitho pahale" she patted couch beside her to take a seat and he did as said "kal tumhari shadi hai toh etani raat me sirf dulha hi nahi so pata hai tension ke maare" sly smile played on her lips, shravan just kept staring her, she patted on his shoulder
he sighed "pata nahi bua lekin samaz me nahi aa raha hai jo bhi decisions liye hai wo sahi hai ya nahi dar lag raha hai, its impossible" his voice was clearly indicating his misery. he bend down his head and hide it in between his hands
"kaun Suman?" she cocked her brow
he lifted his head with jerk and looked toward her which was enough for her to understood that his problem was suman
"bua matlab muze samaz me nahi aata hai , matlab kabhi kabhi lagta hai hum log ki compatibility ekdam sahi hai, we are comfortable with each other , hum us insan ko samazane lage hai" he started fidgeting with his fingers "fir achanak se kuchh hota hai i mean bahot choti si baat, means ekdam minute si chiz jaise ki rahan sahan ya khane ki pasand, jisase lagta hai ki hum koi galati to nahi kar rahe hai, decision galat to nahi hai?" unknown terror overtook his face
"kya hua tum kahi bahar gaye the kya?"
"haan i mean abhi nahi lekin kahi bahar jate hai to bolati hai ki sanitizer se hath saf karo kuchh bhi khane se pahale, agar koi bich raste me kachara kar raha hota hai to ye jhansi ki rani banake kud padati hai maidan me" he remembered all the strange events happened as per him with sumo
"shravan etana tension mat lo dheere dheere sab thik ho jayega, log badalate he waqt ke sath" saumya giggled on his plight
"lekin bua it just too much at times which i cant handle" his voice was full with exasperation
"muze laga hi tha ki kabhi na kabhi tum yeh baat jaroor bologe?" she gave him determinant look
"matlab aapko bhi lagta hai na ki kabhi kabhi kuchh jyada ho jata hai" he irked
she bobbed her head slowly "tumane yeh socha hai ki tum bhi use too much lagate honge at times" she mocked
"ek baat suno shravan, suman ek bahot achhi ladki hai, she is clever, perfectionist and main independent ladki hai, aur aise ladkiyon ko thoda neglect kiya jata hai , logon ko lagta hai ki woh aake gyan dena shuru kar degi lekin aisa nahi hota hai, aur esaki wajah se woh stubborn aur perverse ban jati hai, tum dono mature ho sab sambhal loge, aur waise ye dar sare ladkon ko lagta hai shadi ke pahale" she shrugged with smile and his eyes darted
"yeh sabke sath hota hai bua?" he startled hearing that its common with all
"yes, tumhe pata hai lala apane shadi ke ek raat pahale bhag gaya tha, bol raha tha shadi nahi karni hai tension ho raha hai, meine use samazake ghar laya, aur ab dekho etane sal ho gaye sab thik hai na infact sab perfect hai, khush hai kamini ke sath" he gazed saumya amusingly "haan lekin promise me yeh baat kisi ko nahi bologe kyuki ghar me kisi ko pata nahi hai okay" she winked at him and a beatific smile crept on his face
"lekin bua agar yeh sabko lagta hai toh mere aisa lagne me kya difference hai?" he wiggled his brows quizzically
"are alag kaise nahi hai, tumhe ye first time lag raha hai na" he bobbed his head immediately "toh tumhare liye to naya hai na?" she deadpanned smiling inwardly
"haan.. huh, yes waise sirf aapko bata raha hu mera uar sumo ka jara alag hi hai" he grinned shyly
"yeh bhi sabko lagta hai ki hum log alag hai" her head jiggled side to side
the color drained out of his face and his mouth snapped shut, without uttering a single word he left her room immediately.
"You are a mystery to me , yet so familiar . Like a song I've never heard before , and a tune I've known my entire life"
