In A Temple

A girl is praying closing her eyes.

"shankar ji, thank you..!! you have listened to my prayer. He has passed the exam with good marks. I can't tell you that how much happy I am for him. So according to my promise I have brought laddoo (sweet) for you. no no...these laddoos are not for you. I have made them for your son..!!

please ganesh ji eat these laddoo and give him lots of blessings..!!

"Gauri bitiya, you have come mandir early today. you seem to be happy also, huh..!"

Gauri: pandit ji actually I want to thank shankar ji..so I have come early

Pandit: thank you??

Gauri: haan. my shankar ji has fulfilled my wish today..!!

Pandit: oh! stay blessed. by the way, where is your sister? is she sleeping till now??

Gauri: she is....

"eyy gauri..!" a girl calls gauri from behind. her hand is on hips. she looks angry.

Gauri(in mind): shankar ji, please save me otherwise my hitlar didi will eat me today..!!

That girl comes forward and greets the priest.

Girl: namaste pandit ji

Pandit: namaste anika beta

Anika: what happened? why are you in silent mode? open your radio na..

Gauri: didi..I..I thought..

Pandit shakes his head smilingly and goes from there.

Anika puts her hands on her chest.

Anika: gauri, I am listening..

Gauri: vo I..I thought not..not to disturb youu and come here alone.

Anika glares at gauri. she looks down.

Anika: do you know how much worried I was?? I get up and search you everywhere but you..you were in mandir na then how could I find you in the house?

Gauri: anika didi, sorry..I..

Anika: no gauri, this is not done..!! everyday we come together to meet your shankar ji but today you forget me...!!

Gauri: there is nothing like that..how can I forget my didi?

Anika: I know you are becoming very..very selfish now-a-days..!!

Gauri smiles seeing anika's antics.

Anika: now why are you smiling?

Gauri: if there wasn't you, don't know what would happen to me?

Gauri hugs anika surprising her.
anika hugs her back.

Anika: oh! I see, you are making me emotional so that I can't scold you

Gauri nods no.

Gauri (holding her ears): I told you na sorry..!! didiii..sorry..!!

Anika: accha, okay..! but this is the 1st and last time, remember..!!

Gauri nods her head positively.

Outside The Temple

Anika: gauri, tell me one thing, what's the reason to come mandir so early?

Gauri starts to blush.

Gauri(blush): vo..I come..

Anika: aww! I know the reason. no need to tell me.

Gauri surprisingly looks at anika.

Gauri: ho..how??

Anika(teasing): the way you are blushing na..it's just a simple matter for me to understand that you have come here to pray for a certain long-haired guy..!! am I right?

Gauri blushes hard at anika's words.

Anika pulls gauri's cheek.

Anika: oyee lal tamatar, don't be shy..I am your didi na..!

Gauri: he..he has pa..

Anika: he has passed the exam with good marks so I have come here early--that's what you want to say, right?

Gauri: haan..but how..how do you know?

Anika: sister, I think you have forgot..that long-haired guy is my soon to be devar ji..so his brother I mean your bade bhaiya has told me..most importantly as I am kidkithod anika, my eyes and ears are always open..!!

Gauri: accha..!! par as far as I know your ears and eyes are open only for my bade bhaiya.

This time anika blushes.

Gauri: hey shankar ji, what I am seeing? my hitlar didi is blushing..!! all credit goes to my bade bhaiya aka Mr.Shivay Singh Oberoi..!

Anika: gauri, you..you..wait..

anika starts to chase gauri outside the temple. gauri also runs fast. suddenly she loses her balance and about to fall. but..but a pair of arms save her from falling. gauri closes her eyes in fear. slowly she opens her eyes and finds herself in his arms. He makes gauri straight.

Boy: are you fine?

Gauri is still in her dreamland.

Gauri (in mind): shankar ji, am I dreaming or not? He is in front of my eyes.

That boy confusedly looks at gauri.

Boy (loudly): gauri,are..you..fine???

Gauri comes to her sense.

Gauri: are you..you saying any..anything?

Boy(sighed): are you fine?

Gauri: ji..

Anika also reaches there.

Anika: gauri, tu..

anika stops noticing the boy. anika winks at gauri. she looks away.

Anika: areyy Om, tum yahan! when did you start to come temple? (eyeing at ri)

Omkara: bhabi, only because of mom I am here. you know, I have..

Anika: you have passed the exam with good marks. before you ask how did I know..I am telling you that shivay has given me this good news.

Om: haan. and this is the best marks in my college life. I am very..very happy..!!

Gauri smiles at his excitement.

Gauri (in mind): shankar ji, pls keep him always happy

Anika (in mind): obviously,you will get the best marks because your gauri was praying for you na..!!

Anika: by the way have you come alone or aunty ji has come with you

Om: no, I..

"hello, anika bhabi..!" a girl shouts.

Anika: hi, ishana..!!

Ishana comes and hugs anika.

Ishana: bhabi, how can you think that Om will come to mandir so early and that too willingly??

Om: haan, my ishu has come with me na..

Om pinches on Ishana's nose. Ishana hits on his arm. Gauri's face falls seeing ishkara like this.

Ishana notices gauri.

Ishana: hey gauri, how are you?

Gauri: I..I am fine and you?

Ishana: just perfect..!! vaise gauri you are looking too cute today

Gauri looks at Om and sees him smiling.

Ishana pulls gauri's cheek.

Ishana: such a cutie pie..!!

Gauri becomes shy again.

Om: ohho ishu, don't trouble gauri. you are making her feel uncomfortable..!!

Ishana frowns at omkara.

Ishana: guys, seriously I really like gauri. if I have a son na, then I definitely get him married with her.

AniOm laugh loudly. Gauri opens her mouth in O shaped.

Om: ishu, you..you are impossible..!!

Ishana glares at him.

Anika: Om, both of go and complete the puja otherwise there will be a long line.

Ishana: hmm. okay, bhabi.

Anika: so, bye guys. see you in the college.

Ishkara action like good bye to AniRi.
