"Im Pregnant"
These two words almost gave Vidya and Sagar a heart attack. Manya, Akash, Vidya and Sagar were sitting in Manya's room.
VIDYA- But.... how? [she was shocked]
MANYA- I don't know! It just... happened! Manya looked like she was about to burst out sobbing and Akash had a grim expression on his face.
VIDYA- How are you going to tell mummy ji and papa ji?
MANYA- I'm not going to tell them! They will probably have a heart attack if I do!
SAGAR- Well maybe.. just maybe.. you should have thought about that before! [he said angrily]
Manya started at him for a moment and then burst out crying. Akash took Manya into his arms and stroked her hair softly.
Vidya glared at her husband
VIDYA- Well whats done is done. What we need to think about now is what we're going to do about it.
SAGAR- Well I'm sure you want to keep it.
Manya nodded, tears soaked her face.
SAGAR- I'll talk to Papa about Manya and Akash's marriage. [he sighed]
VIDYA- Good Idea... but whatever you do... don't mention anything about the pregnancy, got it?
SAGAR- I know.
AKASH- But what about after the marriage?! They'll find out sooner or later. [he grimaced]
VIDYA- We'll have to think about that later [she frowned] Right now we have to worry about getting you two married.
Vidya, Manya and Akash waited outside Manya and Sagar's parent's room.
Sagar opened the door and came out a few minutes later with a grim expression on his face.
Vidya, Akash and Manya looked at him anxiously.
Sagar Smiled
SAGAR- Papa said Yes.
They all broke into grins and Akash pulled Manya into his arms.
SM DAD- Tomorrow?!
SM MOM- That's what Pandit Ji said. Tomorrow or after 10 years.
Vidya, Sagar and Sagar's parents were seated in the living room.
SM DAD- How will we get all the preperations done by tomorrow? [he frowned]
SAGAR- There has to be a way
Vidya frowned
VIDYA- Oh! [she thought of something]
SAGAR- What is it? [he asked in alarm]
VIDYA- What about a court marrige? [she asked]
Vidya's in-laws and husband stared at her.
VIDYA- Think about it Papa Ji, it will be fast, you could always have a reception party afterwards to celebrate. You can invite all the family members and friends then [she smiled]
SM DAD- But beta... no one in our family has ever had a court marrige..
SM MOM- But Vidya may be right... I don't see any other way.
SAGAR- And dad... We can't wait 10 years for the next date.
For more then one reason [Sagar added in his mind]
Sagar's dad thought about it and finally said...
SM DAD- Alright.
Sagar and Vidya grinned
SM DAD- No go tell Manya the good news [he smiled]
VIDYA- Okay Papa Ji [she grinned and hurridly went to tell Manya the good news]
Vidya knocked on Manya's door.
MANYA- Come in
Vidya went in
MANYA- Bhabhi? [she went over to Vidya and look at her questioningly]
VIDYA- Manya...
MANYA- Yes Bhabhi? Did papa tell you if they've thought up a date?
VIDYA- Yes...
MANYA- And..?
VIDYA- Tomorrow [she grinned]
MANYA- Kya!?! Really?! [she beamed] But how will papa and muma get all the preperations done?
VIDYA- Well we've decided to have a court marriage... it was that or you having to wait 10 years, and you know you can't do that.
MANYA- Oh.. I see
VIDYA- Don't worry you're going to have a HUGE reception party to make up for it [she grinned]
MANYA- Thanks Bhabhi. But you know it doesn't really matter what kind of marrige I have... as long as its to the man I love [she blushed]
VIDYA- Awh [she gave Manya a hug]
SAGAR- VIDYA! [Sagar called from downstairs]
VIDYA- Looks like your brother's calling me [she smiled] I have a lot of work to do [she patted Manya on the head and turned to leave]
MANYA- Bhabhi?
Vidya turned around
VIDYA- Yes?
MANYA- Thanks
Vidya Smiled
VIDYA- For you... Anything.
