Hello all, here is chapter one- apologies for any spelling errors.
Chapter One:
"Pratigya! Pratigya! Beeti, aab jaago bhi! Aaj tumhari sagai hai aur tum abhi tak soo rahi ho?"
Pratigya jerked awake and looked at her alarm clock, which she had set up nice and early so she could have time to dress properly. When she looked at the time she groaned. "Mummy, abhi to alarm clock mein dus minute bache the! Abhi kyun jagaya?"
Nanaji entered the room and smiled at her sleepy daughter. "Arre baba, jaldi jagna acha hai- abhi bahar Dadi bhi shuru hoi gaye hai ki sasural mein jaldi jana hoga…aab kush ho jao ki hum jaga rahe hi aur dadi nahi"
Pratigya exhaled and thought- it was better that her mother woke her up- if it was Dadi she would drive her crazy with all the wedding talk in the morning. As soon as the engagement had been set, Dadi had been talking about nothing else and frankly, it was driving Pratigya crazy. While she had done this for her family to be happy, talking about marriage all the time was making her nervous. Couldn't they talk about the weather once in a while, just to calm her nerves. No, it all 'Nitin, marriage, good house…blah blah blah'
"Pratigya," Nanaji's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, "Kya soch rahi ho?"
Pratigya smiled reassuringly, "Bas shaddi ke bare mein"
Nanji smiled back "Tum kush ho na?"
Pratigya shrugged and got out of bed "Mein kush ho ki aap sab kush hein" "Ek Second." Her mother frowned "Tum aapne laye kush nahi ho"
Pratigya turned to her mother and smiled again. "Nahi Mummy, mein apne liye boht kush hoon. Papa ne bola than a, ki Nitin jaise aache ladke se shaadi karne mein boht lucky hoon. Mein bas kush hoon ki mein lucky hoon aur appka saman badha hoo jayga."
Nainaji nodded thoughtfully, "haan, Nitin jaise accha ladke aab kahe milte hain? Aab chalo, tayar hona hai."

"Tumne mujshe kaha that ki tum mujse pyar karte hoo- shaddi karma chahte ho…ka who jhhot that Krishna?!" The girl screamed at him accusingly.
Krishna turned from examining himself in the mirror. Beside him Tunna and Chandu snickered as he turned another girl down.
"Dekho maine tumse shaadi aur pyar ki baat hi nahi ki thi…tumse soche jo mere liye time pass tha, who pyar…lekne main tumse pyar nehi karta." He turned back.
The girl sobbed "Mein tumhe acchi bhi nahi lagte…to mere saat time kyun spend kiya…kuyn mere saat…"
"Kuynke tum sundar hoo…aur tume kabhe na nahi kaha, to mere kya fault he? Waise, koi mujhe kabhi na kenta hi nahi he…aab jao, yaha se nikal jao, nahi to guards ko bola lo ga and tumhe yahe se bahar faink do ga."
The girl turned, still crying "Ek din, tumhe ek ladki milege jo tumhe nahi bolege, aur phir tumhe pata chalega ki kaisa lagta hai…"
Krishna frowned "Arre niklo yaha se…paar ki jooti…"
The girl left the house, sobbing loudly. Kesar watched her run past her and sighed sadly "Krishna…fires…"
Inside his room, Chandu and Tunna were still laughing at the unfortunate girl. "Sacch mein bhaiya…Krishna, Krishna, tumhe mujse jhoot kyun bola?! Hahaha"
Krishna shrugged "These girl… think what they like, main kuch bolta nahi hoon, aur kjud kya kya soch jati hain"
Chandu stopped laughing "Waise bhaiya, yeh chodiye, aapke aaj plans kya hein?"
Krishna went to his cupboard and started talking out some clothes
"Aaj raat Bauji ke business partner ki bte ki sagai hain…hum waha ja rahe he"
Tunna grinned "Shayed waha koi nahi item mile gi!"
Krishna looked down at his clothes "Pata nahi…shayed koi nai milegi. Aab jao, mujhe tayar hona hai."
