I know I'm back yet again with my prediction on what can happen. I'm thinking to write such one shots every weekend, but if time permits. Sorry! Bear this piece of crap!
SaMud OS- Playing Garba
Wedding festivities were going on. Everyone was busy in preparations. That night was the sangit. All were busy getting ready. Saras and Kumud were smiling and blushing to each other as the helped in placing the mattresses for the guests. Kumud went and tried to carry on mattress, but it appeared too heavy. Saras went and helped her with it. She blushed, he blushed. And the blushing game went on.
"Kumud! Ja jaake taiyyar ho ja beta! Abhi sare mehmaan aane shuru ho jaayege! Sirf 20 minute baaki hai," Guniyal said to Kumud as she entered the room and started helping in placing the mattresses. Kumud agreed and giving one last smile to Saras, she went to her roon. Saras also in order went to his room to get ready.
It was evening soon and the guests started coming. Kumud stepped out of her room wearing a purple, green and orange ghaghra. She was looking very pretty with her hair open. Saras was wearing an orange-green kurta and a dhoti. He was looking handsome, of course. They both looked at each other and started savouring each other's look.
The were down. They both were walking towards each other. The music was being played. They both were almost coming near, when..
"Saras?" spoke a girl wearing an Indian outfit, but still not having thelook. She rushed and hugged him. Saras was just shocked. His face was expression-less. But Kumud's face did hold an expression: Jealousy. She was shocked, stupefied and jealous too! Saras noticed this and reciprocated the hug. Now his face did hold an expression- smile; a mischievous one.
"Juhi, tum yaha?" He said eyeing Kumud. Kumud did understand his plan. She got furious, but manged to give a smile. It looked quite genuine, though it was not. Saras and Juhi broke their embrace.
"Woh mei.." Juhi tried to speak but was cut off.
"Tumhe pata nahi chalta kisi bhi mehmaan ko aisa puchna nahi nahi chahiye?"
"Arey its okay. Actually meine aur Saras ne saath mei kaam kiya hua hai. Hum dono bohot acche dost hai." Juhi replied innocently. Kumud smiled at her. Saras was confused. Why wasn't she jealous? Was their love not strong enough? No, he loved Kumud more than anything. But she? Did he love him the same way?
"Um..Toh aap dono ko dhel saari baatein karni hogi, haina? Toh aap dono aaram se baatei kijiye, mujhe thode kaa niptane hai. Aap aaj ke dandiya mei maza lena." Kumud gave a fake smile again and left. She started distributing the refreshments to the guests. She was grumbling every now and then, but from inside. She didn't want to show Saras that she was jealous. She didn't want to show him that she didn't trust him.Yes, she was jealous. Oh come one! Anyone would be! But she didn't want to lose Saras' trust. And as she got him, he was trying to make her jealous. May be, he was taking her test. She didn't want to lose the test.
Everytime Juhi turned the other way, Saras tried to see where Kumud was. He liked Juhi, but she was to pushy. She had hold his hand and was roaming about the place bantering about her anecdotes. Sara was least interested. No, it wasn't that he hated Juhi. He just loved Kumud. And, his eyes were searching for her.

The dandiya had started. Everyone was playing dandiya. Soon, the garba started. It was to be played in pairs. Everyone had to find their pairs. [Being a Gujarati, giving some information. It is actually played by two people who sand aamne-saamne. They exchange their places by taking steps. I can't describe the steps, but can say it is very energetic dance.]
Kumud was finding Saras for his partner. Shying she was finding him. Soon, she found him. Then she went closer to him, but was horrified. Saras was being dragged by Juhi for the garaba. She frowned and turned the other way. She now wanted to show him that he was not with a friend all alone. She looked here and there, and soon found Sunny running towards the sweets counter.
"Sunny! Mithaiya baad mei khaa lena! Abhi chalo na, mere saath garba khelo," Kumud asked Sunny. Actually, he was going to ask Kusum for the same who was standing near the refreshments counter, but with reluctance, he went with Kumud.
The garba started. Kumud-Sunny, and Juhi-Saras landed up beside each other. Saras looked at Sunny and got jealous. He gave a deathly glare to him. Kumud was too busy playing garba to notice it. Saras was continuously staring at Kumud. She, in turn was glancing him in short whiles. Juhi was stepping continuously on Saras' feet, but he didn't acknowledge. His eyes were owned by someone else. But Juhi too, didn't notice this.
"Ab-ab! Iss garb eke aur romanchak banana ke liye hum apne partners badlege. Aap apne partner ko chod ke kisi aur ko apna partner banana hai!" Vidya kaka announced.
Sunny became elated and was staring at Kusum who was staring at him too. Kumud saw this and smiled. She slapped Sunny's shoulder.
"Dekh kya rahe ho? Ab jao uske saath!" Kumud said. Sunny became ecstatic and ran to Kusum. They both started chatting and playing garba. Kumud smiled at his cuteness.
"Dobo che," Kumud said referring to Sunny. But, someone thought it was for him. Saras! He snapped and looked at her to find her smiling. He smiled too.
"Ugh! Saras? Mei ab yeh nahi khelna chahti. Mei bohot thak gayi hun. Chalo," Juhi complained. But Saras was looking somewhere else. Juhi shrugged him by shoulders to gain his attention.
"Saras?" Juhi asked.
"Oh ha Juhi..bolo!" Saras said finally leaving her eyes.
"Meine kaha mujhe yaha se jaana hai," she said raising her eyebrows.
"Ha..meine suna. Thik hai na, tum jao, mujhe aur khelna," Saras said again looking towards her and proceeding in that direction.
"Hopeles," Juhi murmered under her breath and went to the refreshments counter.
Saras went towards Kumud and stood beside her. When Kumud looked at the other side, she was shocked to find find Saras there beside her.
"Tum? Tum toh apni dost ke saath the na!" Kumud said getting jealous, but still hiding it.
"Ha, par woh chali gayi," Saras said. Kumud confused, looked at him.
"Woh, mera mera matlab ki woh thak gayi thi. Issiliye yaha se chali gayi. Aur mujhe garba khelna tha, issiliye mei ruk gaya."
"Par tum yaha kyu aaye?" Kumud said.
"Mujhe koi aur akela nahi mila. Aur, mujhe waise bhi tumhaare saath garba khelna tha," he said mischievously.
"Oh? Jab koi aur na mila tab meri yaad aayi, huh?"
"Nahi Kumud aisa nahi hai."
"Toh kaisa hai?"
The music started again. All started playing garba again, which resulted and Saras and Kumud getting hit by the players' shoulders.
"Kumud, abhi yeh sab ka time nahi hai. Baad mei lad le?" Saras said reasoning. Kumud just smiled and started playing. They both started playing with each other. Soon both of them were exhausted.
Suddenly, Kumud got a push from someone beside her and she dashed on Saras. To protect her, Saras held her from her waist. Everyone was too busy to notice their romance. They both were looking deeply in each other's eyes. Kumud was blushing continuously and loking down. She looked up at him and ran away. Saras ruffled his hair and followed her.
The following game ended at the upper rooms where the mattresses were laid. Kumud stopped at the door. Saras too slowed down seeing her stop. He took small steps as he ascended towards her. When he was finally close and was going to catch her, Kumud moved aside. A mattress came on Saras's leg, and he fell down.
Kumud laughed as she got successful in her plan and ran again. Saras got up ran after her. Soon, Saras's pace got faster and he caught the hold of Kumud's wrist and pinned her to the wall. They both were exhausted and were breathing heavily and laughing.
"Tumhe jalan nahi ho rahi thi jab mein Juhi ke saath tha?" Saras asked her breaking the laughter.
"Ja-Jalan? Mujhe? Kyu? Mujhe tumpe vishwaas hai! Koi bhi chud[ail]..mera matlab ladki mujhe tumse nahi cheen sakti." Kumud said trying to hide her jealousy.
"Sach mei? Tumhe zara sa bhi gussa nahi aaya Juhi pe?" Saras asked getting more closer to her.
"Na-Nahi toh! Mujhe kyu gussa aayega?"
"Kumud. Sach bolo."
"Ha thika hai! Mujhe bohot jalan hui! Khush? Pehle uss chudail se chipak-chipak ke baatein karte ho, aur mujhe jalane ki koshish karte ho, aur mei jalti bhi hun, aur uske bat mujhse sach bulwate ho. Khush ho gaye?" Kumud said aas she tried to leave. But Saras held her wrist. He came closer to her and cupped her face. She was shocked, too shocked. Her eyes widened and her lips quivered.
"Sorry Kumud," said Saras as he leaned forward to get the eternity. Kumud, who had just come out of trance, got no time to react. Her lips were sealed by her man. She thought the best option was to just savour the moment. That is what she did!
