Naina and Sameer stared at the lawyer hopefully as he examined their documents.

"Aap logon ke gharwale kahan hai? Unhe pata hai iss shadi ke baare mein?"

"Mere gharwalon mein se koi bhi iss duniya mein nahi rahe..aur iske.."

Naina shivered as the lawyer looked at her suspiciously from head to toe, cutting in-

"Yeh nabaalig toh nahi hai na? Dekho beta, high school ki ladki ke saath bhaagne ki soch rahe ho toh bohot pitoge, pehle police walon ke haathon phir iske ghar waale toh alag se kutai karenge hi"

"Main koi bacchi nahi hoon. Sameer bolo na inhe" Naina seemed very angry as the lawyer called her a school girl indirectly.

"Dekhiye sir, yeh mohtarma jo yahan khadi hai, thodi bacchi jaisi zaroor dikhti hai par hai nahi. Yeh toh yahan paas ke high school mein teacher hai. Aap chahe toh iski school ki ID dekh sakte hai" Sameer said, earning a pinch from Naina, who stared daggers at him-
"Bacchi jaisi dikhti hai se tumhara kya matlab, haan?"

"Ab doosre bhi yahi bol rahe hai toh main kya karun?" Sameer said, nursing his arm where she'd pinched him

The lawyer was satisfied with the documents and told them to come after 25 days and fixed them a date

(I don't know any procedures. It's purely hypothetical)

"25 din baad? Aise kaise hoga waqeel sahab? Koi pehle ki date nahi mil sakti kya" Sameer said, looking at the dates

'Isse pehle iska baap kahin parcel na kar de ise' he thought, sweating at that scenario

"Dekho beta, tum youngsters ko sab kuch instant chahiye hota hai- naukri, shaadi phir bacche. Par aisa thodi na hota hai. Kuch procedures toh tumhe bhi follow karne padenge. Thoda sabr karo. Sabr ka fal meetha hota hai" the lawyer said in finality, closing the file

'Mujhe toh abhi tak koi meetha mila hi nahi' Sameer shook his head as he took the file, and headed downstairs

They stood inside a temple in the premises near the lawyer's office as they offered a donation to the priest.

"Main toh keh hi raha tha. Yahin mandir mein shaadi kar lete hai. Do phoolon ka haar, saath phere aur ab tak hum ghar jaa rahe hote pati-patni banke. Yeh mandir ka pujari bhi kitna friendly hai. Par nahi. Tumhe toh bas Devi banna hai"

Naina arranged the prasad on the puja thaal as she murmured-

"Itni bhi kya jaldi hai tumhe? Ab date toh mil gayi na. Khush ho jao"

"Jaldi hai. Tum nahi samjhogi" Sameer said as he pulled her towards him

"Sameer, hum mandir mein hai" Naina's eyes widened as she felt his hand on her waist and saw the priest coming towards them
"Ye lo laddoo khao" she said as she pushed a whole laddoo in his mouth, on which he broke off contact from her and started wiping the extra crumbs off his face as the priest gave her some flowers

"Kahin bhi shuru ho jaate ho tum. Pata nahi kya soch lete Panditji agar hume aise dekh lete toh" Naina complained once they were out of the temple

"Yahi sochte ki kitna pyaar karte hai yeh ek doosre se" Sameer said holding her hand, winking at her as she smiled, shaking her head

"Dekho tumhari waali hoarding lagi hai upar" Naina said pointing to a sign board hung beside their lawyers' office

"Huh. Kaunsi waali" Sameer said, trying to read what was written and found the words
'Jhatpat Shaadi Waale' written in bold red letters
"Naina.." Sameer got to know by now that she was teasing him and chased her as she giggled and ran towards his bike

Naina hesitantly called her sister as she'd not talked to her in days after her sister had caught her in her own web of lies

"Aur behen. Call karne ka time mil gaya. Mujhe laga tu baatein chupane ke saath saath mujhe bhool bhi gayi hai" Preeti didn't mince her words

"Sorry Preeti. Kaisi hai tu?"

"Pehle tu bata. Kiske ghar pe reh rahi hai aajkal? Kai baar call karti hun toh meri awaz sunke koi phone kaat deta hai. Ab gharwale bhi poochne lagenge kuch dinon mein. Isse accha hai tu mujhe hi bata de"

"Main abhi tujhe kuch nahi bata sakti. Par itna samajh le ki tere Jijaji mil gaye hai" Naina said, blushing slightly, checking if Sameer was somewhere around, else he'd have teased her to death

"Accha. Varun Jiju wahan Bombay mein kya kar rahe hai? Aur tu unse kab mili? Mummy ne mujhe bataya nahi?" Preeti asked, confused, shouting out towards her mother

"Preeti meri maa. Tu paagal hai kya? Chachi ko kyun bula rahi hai?" Naina got scared

"Ohh. Acha. Ab samjhi. Ab aayi na tere akal thikane. Toh kaise hai woh? Handsome hai kya? Tere school ke English teacher toh nahi?"

"Nahi. Aur bilkul teri tarah hai"

"Acha. Akalmand aur samajhdaar"

"Nahi. Tube light ho dono ke dono"

"Tu bhi na Naina. Waise Naam kya hai mere Jijaji ka jisne meri Naina Devi Ko dharti pe utar diya?"

"Preeti! Pitegi tu.."

"Pit ti toh main roz hi hun. Ab naam bata bhi ya tu unka naam sabke saamne nahi leti" Preeti teased further

"Uska naam Sameer hai. Aur isse jyada kuch mat poochna"

"Naina!" Preeti protested as Naina refused to give any more details.

"Par tujhe toh pata hai na humare gharwale kaise hai. Manenge woh kabhi?" Preeti put forth her doubt

"Please abhi iss baare mein kisiko mat batana. Time aane par main khud sabko bata dungi"

Naina kept the phone down as she saw Sameer standing at the doorway holding something

"Toh kisse itni baatein ho rahi thi?" he said as he put two bowls of kheer on the table

"Preeti se. Ab shuruvaat ussi se kar di hai sab kuch bolne ka..humare baare mein" she said, looking at the delicious looking kheer

"Yeh tumne banayi hai?" She asked, surprised

"Kyun accha khaana sirf tum bana sakti ho kya? Aaj toh kuch meetha hona hi chahiye. Hai na?" Sameer said as he put a spoonful into her mouth

"Aah. Bohot acchi bani hai" Naina said, licking her lips

"Kaash main tumhare khaane ke upar aisa bol sakta" Sameer said, teasing her

"Sameer ke bacche.."

"Abhi aaye hi kahan hai? Thoda wait toh karlo meri udan tashtari. Itni jaldi bhi kya hai?" he said as he put another spoon into her mouth, to prevent her from saying anything further
