Hi Friends - Here's another story from me. I am not sure yet if this would be an OS or a TS... but below is the teaser. Let me know your thoughts...
****************************************
As the group sauntered up the path beside the lake, Sameer kept looking at the roadside stalls wondering what to buy for Naina. He wanted to buy some pretty earrings. He turned thinking to ask her if she liked wearing long earrings, when suddenly her hand brushed against his. He bit his lip wondering whether she would mind if he held her hand for some time. It would feel good to walk that way, he thought.
Naina was busy in chattering with Preeti, he looked down at her slightly swinging hand, and slowly gathered courage to inch closer. A fraction of an inch remained... he took a deep breath... and suddenly he jerked as Munna shrieked.
"Hey bhagwaan!", Munna exclaimed.
Pandit also joined him, "gazab ho gaya, ajab ho gaya."
Sameer, Naina and Preeti looked on perplexed. "Kya hua?", Preeti asked frowning.
"Haan, yeh aise chilla kyun rahe ho?", Sameer added.
Munna pointed to a red painted structure, "woh dekho... aaj tak toh hum ise Naina devi bulate the. Yahan ke logo ne toh iska mandir bhi sthaapit kar diya."
All of them stared at the red temple gate which had yellow inscription of "Shree Maa Naina Devi Mandir."
Pandit clucked his tongue, and pumped his fists, "chal bhai... aaj tak mazak pe devi bulate the, par ab se toh roz naare lagane padenge - Shree Maa Naina Devi ki Jay."
Naina narrowed her eyes, "tum dono ki toh..."
Munna and Pandit ran around the empty street, with Naina in hot pursuit while Sameer and Preeti doubled over in laughter.
