"Just for your information, I called her parents and spoke to them. They will be arriving in two days and will stay for 3 days.", Amar spoke still grumpy while having dinner.

Sidharth and Sana looked at each other on getting the piece of information. Everything was going so smoothly and nice. A little blush appeared on Sana's face as she suppressed her happiness biting her lower lips. A slight smile appeared on his lips to see her happy.

"Thanks Babuji.", Sidharth said humbly.

Finishing their dinner, they dispersed to their respective rooms except Sidharth who had to sleep alone in the living hall. He lied on the mattress waiting for his wife to come once Naina was fast asleep.

At breakfast, both Sidharth and Sana had a frown on their faces. They both didn't talk to each other and kept Naina as a mediator to communicate when needed.

"Bhaabhi, bhaiyya was plucking mangoes, he was asking me if you want to eat some?", Naina said.

"Tell him, I don't want it.", Sana said grumpily.

"Okay..", Naina shrugged turning towards the door and found Sidharth already standing near it.

"Naina, tell her that if she asks for it later, she won't get them as it will be all over.", He says staring at Sana.

"Huh?", Naina looked at them perplexed.

"Naina, why can't someone understand something in first time? I just spoke in plain and simple English. 'I. don't. want. it.' now if someone needs interpretation in any other language then tell them I can do that as well.", Sana said annoyed.

"What's happening guys? Did I miss something?", Naina asked totally confused by their behaviours.

Ignoring her words they glared at each other intensely which made Naina to raise her eyebrows.

"You bought fought? When?", Naina asked but it went ignored.

"Arggghhh.. fine. Keep glaring at each other. I can't be your interpreter..", Naina said walked out of her room in frustration.  Sidharth stepped inside the room. Sana turned her face away from him. He came and sat opposite to her looking at her frowning face which was pouty just like of a chubby baby. A small yet naughty smile crept on his face.

"Chinese..", he said.

"Huh?", She now stared at him narrowing her brows in confusion.

"Hmmm.. How about Japanese?", He said.

Her expressions showed even more confusion.

"No? Then French? Yeah, French final..", Sidharth said. Sana couldn't hold on to her curiousity any more.

"Have you gone mad? What are you even talking about?", She asked.

"You said you can interpret your words in any other language for me. So I told you what language I prefer to be interpreted in. Come on now, interpret in French.", Sidharth shrugged.

"Rrrr.. I don't want to talk to you..", she whined.

"Really? Why so? Am I not the one who is supposed to be angry because you didn't come last night?", Sidharth asked.

"Excuse me Mister!! For your kind information, I did come but you were snoring like a gorilla..", Sana complained.

"What? When did you come? I waited for you for so long?", He asked flabbergasted.

"Naina was chatting with Vivek over the phone for a long time so I had to wait until she went to sleep. You know, I was feeling so sleepy, yet I came out to meet you and you were snoring.", Sana ranted with a pouty face like a baby.

"Why didn't you wake me up?", He asked.

"You were looking so adorable just like a cute and adorable baby while sleeping that I didn't feel like disturbing you. If you were awake, I would have gobbled you for your cuteness..", she explained in a complaining tone. He tee-heed at her cuteness earning a glare from her.

"I am sorry sweetheart. After waiting for so long, I thought that you might have slept already.", He said moving closer to her and hugging her. His touch just melted her as she had been craving for his love and attention as well.

"Do you want to eat mangoes?", He asked.

"Huh!! Don't you understand? I am still annoyed with you..", she replied faking anger.

"Huh? Well, I didn't quite understand it. Can you come again in French please.", He asked looking at her face.

"Huh!! I don't know French. Even if I do, then you won't understand.", She smirked.

"Well, I know a little..", he said.

"Really? You never told me.", she asked in excitement.

"I did tell you a few times..", he said

"When?", She looked perplexed.

"The first time I told you was on the day we got married.", He said.

She tried recalling without any success.

"I remember every detail about that day but how do I not remember that?", She said scratching her head.

"Nevermind, do you want to learn now?", He asked.

"Yeah, sure..", she said in excitement while sitting straight

"Okay.. you have to come closer for that.", he said and she obliged. He leaned forward to capture her lips with his.

"Ummmhh..", she groaned into his mouth but didn't interrupt him from smooching her. After sharing an intense kiss, they both pulled away to gasp some oxygen.

"You are a quick learner..", he said.

"What?", She asked totally puzzled.

"Yeah, you picked up French so quickly.", He said.

"When? You didn't even utter a word.", She said.

"I just taught you what I knew.", He said.

"Liar, you didn't..", she frowned.

"I did..", he said.

"No.. you didn't!", She frowned, crossing her hands. He pulled her closer and kissed her again.

"Ummmhhh.. cheater..", she pushed him away and wiped her lips.

"This isn't fair, what cheating did I do?", He asked.

"You said you will teach me French but all you are doing is kissing me. Now I don't even believe that you know French.", She said.

"See, now you are agreeing that I taught you yet accusing me of not. I said I know very little and I taught you what I knew. What do you call that kiss?", he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Huh? French?", She widened her eyes, astonished

"Right..", he smirked.

"You!!", She starts punching him while he laughed curling on the bed trying to dodge her attacks.

There was a knock on the door and someone cleared the throat to grab their attention. They both stopped their banter and straightened up. He sighed to find that the person was none other than Naina.

"What's your problem Naina? Why can't you give me some privacy with my wife?", He complained which made Sana chuckle.

"I don't have any problem. But if I had not volunteered to come here, then you would have been in one as Babuji would have come himself searching for you. You were supposed to pluck mangoes, remember? Besides your demonic laughter in itself disturbing the entire neighbourhood.", Naina scoffed.

"Huh!! Jealous soul.. Who was it chatting with her fiance whole night? I couldn't speak to my wife because of you last night and then our entire afternoon got over frowning. Now that I coaxed my wife, you are calling me a demon.", Sidharth scolded. Sana nudged her elbows into his torso for letting out their secret, making him shriek.

"Was that the reason behind y'all frowning at each other? I am sorry.. You know what, I can sleep in the living room tonight after Maa Babuji goes to sleep and you both can stay in this room.", Naina suggests.

"Nooo..", Sana said immediately.

"Your offer seems tempting but no need. It's just a matter of a few days. We've got our own 1BHK rented apartment and we will move in soon after your wedding. Then it's just me and my beautiful wife.", Sidharth said. Sana blushed on the thought.

"Wow! That's awesome Bhaiyya. I am so happy for you both.", Naina smiled from ear to ear.

"Maa..", Sana hugged her mother happily at the railway station where Sidharth and Sana had gone to pick up her parents. Sidharth and Naveen exchanged smiles before they boarded the rickshaw to ride to Sidharth's home.

The entire ride was silent with only the two ladies speaking. When they alighted infront of their house, Rekha and Amar were already standing at the door.

"Maa Babuji, they are Sana's parents.", Sidharth introduced his in-laws to his parents.

"And Maa Papa, this is Aayi and Babuji, Sidharth's parents.", Sana introduced  her in-laws to her parents.

The two set of parents smiled at each other nodding their head. After exchanging 'how are you' and 'We are fine' conversation they fell silent. It was awkward for them as their children had married each other without their knowledge and were introduced in such situation. Sana and Sidharth looked at each other in guilt.

"Please come..", Amar said pointing his hands towards the entrance of the house.

They all went inside.

"She is Naina, the bride..", Sana introduced Naina to her parents. Naina folded her hands in respect and greeting.

"God bless you. Congratulations.", Shanti wished with a smile.

Soon the house was split into two groups. One of the men, who conversed in the hall over politics and the other comprised of the ladies, who chatted in the kitchen about everything else in the world while cooking meals.

Since there were two weddings held together, the brides and grooms family had decided to have mehendi (heena) arts for ladies at the venue along with a get together for men and followed by dinner.

As bride, Naina was excited for the mehendi ceremony but more than her it was Sana who was delighted. Though unexpressed, she had desires to have married in a traditional way in the presence and with the blessings of her elders and friends. But all she got was a court marriage.

"Meet Mr. Naveen Kumar, Sidharth's fiancee's father.", Amar introduced Sana's father to his relative. Sidharth stared at his father in shock as he was calling Sana his fiancee than wife. He felt mortified thinking about how Sana's father must have been feeling at present.

"What? When did Sidharth get engaged?", The relative asked.

"Well, it wasn't a traditional engagement. They loved each other so Sidharth proposed her on his knees. You know how kids are these days..", Naveen laughed and added which left Sidharth even more astonished.

"Congratulations, Sidharth.", The man wished.

"Thanks..", Sidharth said humbly.

"So, when is the marriage? Hope you would invite us for your marriage atleast.", The man said.

"We've been telling them the same thing. But this kids won't listen to us. They want to have a court wedding.", Amar said.

"What? Your only son doesn't want to have a grand wedding? What about your desires of seeing your only son getting married?", The man asked in surprised. Sidharth was annoyed.

"Well, their desires are fulfilled by their only daughter. So, I decided to fulfill mine and her desires.", Sidharth replied.

"Hmm.. surprisingly, your fiancee too doesn't want a grand wedding. I thought all girls wished for a proper fairytale wedding.", laughed the man.

"Well, being a middle class, we don't really dare to have such desires.", Sidharth replied.

Just after few minutes, Sana came running to Sidharth.

"Sidhaaarth..", she smiled brightly hiding her hand behind her back.

"What?", He asked happily.

"How's this?", Sana asked excitedly showing her hands filled with Heena design.

"It's beautiful. just like you.", he praised staring at her glowing face. She giggled adoring her hand.

"Are you hungry?", He asked.

"Hmmm..", she nods in yes with a pouty face.

"I'll get you something to eat.", Sidharth said walking to the buffet counter.

"Hey Adith, Shiv.. when did you both arrive?", Sidharth exclaimed in excitement.

"Hey Sid, we came just few minutes back. We saw the food counter and thought, you would be busy hence we decided not to disturb you and concentrated on filling our stomachs first.", Adith grinned sheepishly while Shiv ignored them and savoured the food.

Sidharth rolled his eyes and thanked God for such a great yet hunger struck friends.

"Adith bhaau.. Hi Shiv bhaau..", Sana squeaked in joy.

"Hey Sister.", Adith replied.

"Hey Sana..", Shiv wished with mouthful of food.

"Here eat this..", Sidharth said feeding Sana spoonful of food.

"Huh? Oh blimey!! What on Earth am I witnessing? Sidharth feeding Sana openly where his parent's are present.", Adith said.

"Shut up and hog. They all know that she is my wife.", Sidharth said

"What?", Adith and Shiv starts smelling the food they were eating.

"What are y'all doing?", Sidharth asked.

"Just checking if they've mixed some kind of weed into this food. We are hearing something which is nearly impossible.", Shiv said.

Sana giggled loudly while Sidharth frowned at his friends for mocking.
