As the evening flare resulted to cast long shadows on the ground, the slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky shadowing over the engaged atmosphere at the Law garden. Law garden, the place where customers were ecstatic to seek service and the vendors were busy in the crowds of orders as usual. It was a part of daily routine for them too. Being nearly evening time, this place would always be filled with laughters, bustles and liveliness. It was the time when almost every person of the very place and also its surroundings, would gather there to enjoy some free and a happy time admist their busy work whole day. All in all, this place was always occupied with jazziness. Meanwhile, in this hustling atmosphere; on a table near the edge of the crowd, a playful banter echoed in the surrounding. Probably the discussion of an important event was going on. Any one nearing to them in a radius of a meter around, could listen to their jolly talks.

''Apna bhai ek dum hero lagega uski shaadi main. Maine aaj hi dopahar ko kuchh design ki kitaabein dekhi thi, toh uss mein ek Salman ne 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' main pehena tha na, bilkul waise wala suit tha. Ek dum dharti phad! Tu toh wahi wala suit banwaiyo. Jachega tujhpe!'' Munnas voice showed the elation as he presented his ideas for Sameers wedding.

Swati rolled her eyes on her boyfriends words, ''Munna! Pehle toh ye ki use design ki kitaabein nahi, magazine kehte hain. Itna toh tumhe pata hi hona chahiye na. Main bilkul sahi thi aur aage bhi rahungi. Tum na bandar ke bandar hi rahoge.'' Everyone gave out a suppressed laugh, but Munna didnt mind his frock wala pandits words on him.

Preeti chuckled on what Swati said, ''Swati ye sab sab chhod par Munna ki ek baat toh thik hai. Wo magazine maine bhi dekhi hai. Usme sach mein salman ne jo suit pehne hai wo bohot hi acha hai.'' Swati nodded in acceptance.

''Par, woh sab toh theek hai Munna, lekin pehle baaki ki taiyaariyan toh hone de. Abhi tak toh venue ka design, khane ka menu har function ke liye, shagun, aur bhi bohot kuchh bach hai. Sab kuch adhura chodd rakha hai mummy ne'' Preeti uttered in an annoyed tone at last as gradually she talked about the preparations they had done till now.

Although bringing a smile to her face, Sameer made a romantic suggestion. ''Aree saali sahiba, aap kyun itni fikar kar rahin hain? Aapki behen ko hum dhum dham se aur puri shaan se shadi ke bandhan mein baandh mein baandh ke le jaayenge. Humari shaadi hogi tab saara Ahmedabad dekhta reh jaaega. Aur phir chachaji aur chachiji bhi toh kitna kuch sambhal hi rahe hain na.''

However, a naughtier side came in him as he spoke to his saali clearing throat a bit, ''Waise agar aap bolein toh main aajata hun madat karne aapko aapke ghar. Isi bahane aapki nakchadi behen ke saath thoda sa toh waqt bhi mil jaega, aur shayad kuch aur bhi.'' Leaving the sentence incomplete, he leaned back in his chair with a sparkle in his eyes and a dreamy thought in his heart.

He looked from the corner of his eyes and smiled lopsidedly, of course, only to receive an angry glare from his soon to be wife, who was merely attempting to hide the flared hue on her cheeks, which had risen due to his comment.

When she looked at him a couple of seconds later, a naughty wink from him made her look away and she did a failed try to cover her blushing cheeks. The only way to distract her mind was, she would rather concentrate on the pav bhaji she had ordered earlier.

Nonetheless, this move gained some attention from the shippers in the group, further making both Naina and Sameer blush. Munna and Pandit hooted aloud, along with the other girls teasings, shying her even more. So to divert the topic and to save herself from more banters, she announced in an excitement laden voice, ''Umm pata hai tum sabko? Kal Phulla Bua aur Rinki aarahe hain, meri pehel pawni ke liye. Chachiji aur Chachaji toh bohot hi zyada khush hain.''

And she succeeded. This announcement brought a cheer and excitement for the day to come. The memories from the day they had met her for the first time in the previous wedding were replaying in their minds like the long rolling of a forgotten cassette. Everyone got highly elated to the news.

''Naina, Phulla Bua aarahi hain! Kitna maza aayega na! Yaad hai tumhe? Wo mujhse kabhi gussa nahi hoti thi pooja didi ke shaadi ke time pe. Aur yaad hai? Unki wajah se Pooja didi ke sangeet mein bhi hum donon sath main dance kar paye the. Kya pal the woh.'' Sameer recalled in a jubilantly. Naina smiled to his exhilarated voice and others too started to recall everything.

And to second his thoughts shortly, a mumble from Pandit finishing his chaat brought a snigger between the walk through teh memory lane, ''Haan baat toh sahi hai, tab agar woh nahi hoti toh teri gaadi toh sirf 'toh, toh..kya' pe hi atki reheti. Aur upar se woh Safari suit, woh tujhe apne garam chai main daal deta aur nigal jaata. Wo Saala...mera matlab hai ki tera saala toh tujhe kaatne ko humesha daud ta hi tha. Aur uss O bai ko tere iraade ke baare mein pata chal jaata na toh tereko hi apna biscut banake apni ilaichi wali chai ke saath pi jaati. Aur phir bhi tu kehta, 'toh, toh kuchh nahi, toh kya.' Wo toh achha hua ki anjaane mein hi sahi phulla bua ne teri kitni madat ki thi.'' Before everyone could give out a heartful of laughter on Pandits comments, he added in his sentence, Lekin, ek doubt hai. ''Yeh-Yeh Rinki kon hai?'' He asked in a hopeful voice.

Although as we know how could a person get a desired straight answer from his friends. The gang turned to look at Pandit with a squint with the idea of his thoughts.

''Abey Ponga! Tujhe Naina ke bole huye uss sentence main sirf Rinki naam hi sunai diya kya?'' Munna asked with a suspicion and smacked his head.

Pandit quickly covered his words with the best possible save he could get. Of course according to what he thought at the very moment, ''Abhi woh main toh aisa hi keh raha tha.'' A confident side came in him when he realised a valid point to cover his words, ''Aur puchhunge kyun nahi bey chhenu? Pehle kabhi nahi mila aur naahi kabhi uske bare main suna tha, toh sawal aaya aur maine puchh liya. Au raise aankh tedi kerke kya dekh raha hai mujhe? Tune bhi toh nahi suna na. Toh pata toh hona chahiye na ki bhai kal kon aaraha hai, kiski baat ho rahi hai. Hai ki nahi?'' Pandit took a relived sigh for what he spoke in a seemingly convinced tone.

The rest of the gang making the best of their efforts, tried to control their laughter looking at Pandits eagerness to know about the upcoming arrival of an unknown guest. Their laughters also could not stop at the way he tried to cover his previous words, adding on his buttered words.

But to add on his curiosity more to this newly acquired knowledge of his, Preeti controlled her snigger and spoke, ''Koi na, mila nahi hai na? Toh kal mil lena. Jab woh aayegi ghar. Aur waise bhi tum log toh aahi rahe ho na kal shaam ko. Toh woh subah aa jaegi, tum log shaam ko aajana aur mil lena.'' Hiding the grin on her face she took another slice of the world famous Ahemdabadi pizza and ate it as the celebration of the freshly acquired victory, irritating Pandit more.

Munna patted his back smiling, ''Aye somasa! Ab sadi hui aloo jaisi shakal mat bana, aur ye le, tera special wala Samosa kha. Pudine ki tadakti phadakti chutney ke saath.'' Pandit smiled back and grabbed his samosa, hoping to greet the guest tomorrow.

With that all, the gang spent a few more hours discussing what next was to be done and also shared their own plans for the upcoming wedding of the seniors of their group. Kamya and Hema further suggested the ideas for Nainas costumes while Pandit and Munna cracked a couple jokes here and there out of nowhere. But top of all, the gang awaited the arrival of the very first guests of the wedding, asserted as pehel pawni: Phulla Bua and Rinki.

The next day as the sun rose up, the glazing sunlight flittered over the whole azure marking the golden fingers of sunlight lit up the day and added to the morning beauty. The eagerness fluttered in the air as Naina, Preeti and Bela ran around the house attempting the finish the chores since Anand could arrive any minute with Phulla Bua and Rinki.

''Naina Preeti jaldi karo, abhi Bua ji aati hi hongi!'' Chachiji shouted while arranging the cassettes and magazines neatly under the table, before rushing to the kitchen to cover the food. Again after the second lot of her warning to the girls about the same thing, another strong but joyful voice followed, ''Aa rahi nahi, aagayi!'' Phulla bua exclaimed as she came to stand at the entrance of the house.

Anand stood supporting her at the door step while Bela went near her placing her pallu on her head with a bright smile. She seeked blessings by touching her feet and Phulla bua wholeheartedly blessed her. ''Buaji aane main koi takleef toh nahi hui na aapko?'' Bela asked in a soft voice.

''Nahi safar main toh koi takleef nahi hui mujhe, lekin yaha khade khade pairon main takleef zaroor ho rahi hai.'' Phulla Bua responded in a playful tone.

Bela chachi slapped her head due to the forgetfulness and called Naina and Preeti. The duo came with an effervescent smile and cheerful heart. Naina gave the thaali to Bela in order to welcome Phulla Bua as their pehel pawni. They saw Rinki standing behind her but stayed mum for a while as the puja had to be done first. When Bela was done with the Pooja, Preeti came to Phulla Bua with a Mud pot and bent a little. Bela lifted the lid allowing Phulla Bua to put in some money in it as omen. Everyone cheerfully welcomed them as they were the first guests in the wedding.

Chachaji carefully brought her inside the house while Naina and Preeti arranged pillows on the swing in order to make her sit comfortably. As she sat down, chachiji brought water a glass for her. When her eyes fell on Rinki hugging Preeti and Naina she said with a bright smile, ''Aree waah, Rinki. Tu toh bohot badi ho gayi. Itni choti si thi jab pichli baar aayi thi tu.'' She caressed Rinkys face and gave her a warm smile.

''Ab tu saas banne jitni badi ho gayi toh woh bhi toh jawaan ho hi jaaegi na Bela.'' Phulla bua said in a jubilant tone, keeping the glass aside. Bela chachi agreed with as she realised what she meant. Whole morning and the early afternoon, Naina & Preeti were busy with Phulla Bua and Rinki. Rinki excitedly shared them about the dream city with twinkle in her eyes. Phulla Bua showered the love to her grand daughters as she was seeing them after 4 years. Anand and bela were contented to see Nainas happy face. Probably these were the rare moments they were living before their daughters marriage.

Later in the afternoon, while Phulla Bua, Preeti, Naina and Rinki were in the living room having heart ful of cheerful and happy talks, Bela Chachi stood in the kitchen to prepare some tea. When Rinki started her tapping on their shoulders to pour out one more excited talk of hers, they forcefully gave her a smile and pretended to listen to her silly logic even they did not want to. As whenever they wanted to walk away, she would pull them down by their hands saying, ''arey meri puri baat toh sunke jaao. Koi meri baat hi nahi sunna chahta.'' And she made faces, to which they had to sit sit down unwillingly.

Phulla Bua supressed her laugh seeing Naina and Preeti stuck up with her mumbai waali grand daughter whose talks never had a break. While Rinki started again, the sound of honking of the car was heard in a pattern which grabbed their attention instantly. Preeti and Naina looked at each other and without bothering anything; Naina ran to the top of the stairs and saw Sameer, Munna and Pandit were approaching towards her. As the trio climbed up the stairs, Sameer was mesmerised seeing Naina wearing her beautiful smile. Moreover, the kurtis she wore these days, added more to her natural beauty.

He walked closer to her with a naughty smile and as soon as Naina noticed his intention, she went inside the house and announced everyone that Sameer, Munna and Pandit had arrived. As they walked into the house the trio went and received blessings from Phulla Bua at first. Meanwhile, Rinki and Preeti stood teasing Naina. Sameer could see Nainas face heat up with the same garnet hue as whenever she thought about him.

Phulla Bua grabbed their attention by clearing her throat intentionally, ''Naina, tere hero ne toh Salman ko bhi pichhe chhod diya. Main toh Bombay main tere liye ladka dhund rahi thi, lekin tune toh yahan khud ke liye pehle se hi pasand kar rakha tha.'' Phulla bua teased. ''Hmm ise pehli baar dekha tha tab hi pata chal gaya tha ki iski masoom aankhein aur bholi shakal kisiko toh moh lengi. Par tujhe hi pasand aajega ye nahi socha kabhi bhi. Waise bhi, mujhe toh bada hi pyaara lagta hai pehle se hi.'' Saying this, she roamed her hands around his face and then rested on her own forehead.

Other side, listening to the words Phulla Bua had used to describe him, Sameer looked up at Naina with a innocent face and a slight smirk. She glared him fakely and his wink did the work again. Preeti smiled in the corner, completely understanding the signals being given.

Rinki excitedly went up to Sameer and poked on his shoulder numerous times and spoke in between, ''Hello jijaji, main aapki saali, Rinki. Aapke bare main bohot suna hai Naina se, aur usne aap dono ki love story bhi thodi thodi batai. WOW!!! How romantic!'' She clapped her hands with a dreamy look and was pleased to meet Sameer finally. Sameer rubbed his shoulder softly since it hurted when she poked him so suddenly.

Sameer smiled at Rinki and answered. ''Ohoo! Toh aap hain humari dusri saali sahiba. Naina, Preeti ne kal bataya tha ki aap aa rahin hain. Toh hum bhi aagaye aapse milne.'' Rinki smiled widely at his response started her blabbers agin, ''Wese jiju, agar aapki Naina se shadi abhi nahi ho rahi hoti toh naa, toh main hi aapse shaadi kar leti. Aap kitne handsome aur romantic ho.'' Listening to this the rest of the gang that was present had a shocked look on their faces, and were highly stunned on top of it, on after the reply Sameer gave to her.

''Koi baat nahi saali ji, Waise bhi, saali toh aadhi ghar wali hi hoti hai na?'' He said, eyeing Naina while saying this. He could clearly see her fuming anger about to errupt, although just then he got saved him from Naina Devi ka vaar. ''Aree chalo tum sab kamre main jake baatein karo, mujhe Bela se zaroori baat karni hai. Jaao Jaao.'' Phulla bua said.

Everyone retired to Naina Preeti's room, when all the elders sat in the living room. Phulla bua started to ask about taiji and tauji. Bela and Anand exchanged looks with each other confusing Phulla Bua more. They explained the whole matter to Buaji. After everything she heard, Phulla bua sighed heavily, ''Beena toh humesha se hi aisi hai. Bhais jaise sharir mein bhagwan ne bail jaisi budhhi deke bheji hai usko iss duniya mein. Zarur isiki baaton mein Naresh aagaya hoga. Khair, achha kiya jo tum donon ne unse rishta tod liya. Kabhi kabhi aisa karna bhi zaruri hai. Chhodo iss baat ko, aur mujhe ye baaton ki shaadi ki taiyaariyan kaisi chal rahi hain? Aur kahan tak pohochi chizein?''

Chachaji took a leave as he had some important works to finish. And, soon Chachiji also sat with Phulla Bua to discuss the wedding preparations. ''Chalo baaki sab toh thik hi lag raha ahi. Par shaadi ki samagree abhi ke liye jitni chahiye woh toh theek hi hai, lekin yeh Naina ki Ganesh Pooja ke liye saaree aue baaki ke kapde le liye? Aur sagai ke liye?'' Phulla bua asked.

Bela spoke with a grief in her voice, ''Ab kya bataun Bua ji. Ye gaye the dekhne kapde, magar waise kapde nahi mile jese lene the. Ab Naina itne bade khaandaan ki bahu banne ja rahi hai toh ussi hisaab ek bhari kaam ki saadiyan lene ki soch rahe the ye au raise ache kapde Ahmedabaad ki local dukanon mein kahan se milenge.''

''Hmm Yeh toh thik nahi hai, saare kapadon ki kharidari ho jani chahiye 2 hafton ke andar. Chahe woh Naina ki saadiyan ho ya uske raat ko pehen ne waale kapde. Kuchh toh sochna padega.'' Phulla bua said in a tone laced with concern.

Meanwhile in the room, the gang were all sat on the bed with Naina sitting next to Sameer and them in a circle. All of them were discussing some or the other choices of clothing and decorations a few minutes ago, when Hema and Kamya along with Swati had arrived too.

When they were talking about what Naina will wear after marriage, Kamya spoke in a sad voice, ''Lekin Naina ko skirt pehena mana ho gayega na shadi ke baad?''

''Kyun? Naina ko mana kyun hoga? Woh joh chahe woh pehen sakti hai. Aur mujhe bhi acha nahi lagega agar woh hamesha saree mein rahe, kyunki woh uncomfortable hojaaegi. Aur main chaahta hun ki who humesha comfortable rahe chae uss comfort ki requirement uske pehen ne waale kapde hi kyun nahi ho.'' Sameer said with love filled voice, eyeing Naina.

When both of them were almost lost in their own world, something shrill made them almost jump at their places, ''Hayeeee, jijuuuuu! Aap kitne romantic aur caring ho. Sachchi!'' Rinki said with excitement. Everyone smiled at how Rinki went in awe everytime, by whatever and however Sameer showed his care for Naina.

As others got busy in their discussion once again, Sameer leaned back to Naina and whispered in her ear, ''Din mein tum joh chaho pehen lena...lekin...raat ko toh joh main leke aaya tha uss din...woh pink wali...s-'' ''Shhh, chup karo Sameer. Kuchh bhi bolte ho tum. Sab sun lenge.'' Naina cut him blushing with a dark garnet hue making him smile to the fullest.

Suddenly Preeti jumped at a thought cooking in her head, ''Naina tune woh magazine dekhi hai kya? Woh mummy wali?'' She asked.

''Nahi Preeti. Kyun?'' Naina replied and asked normally. Preeti grabbed her hand and took her to the living area to show her the magazines. When Preeti found the one she had wanted, they stood near the kitchen and looked through the designs in it. ''Yaar Naina, dekh na kitne sundar dresses hain. Aur ye waali dekh. Yeh dress toh tere pe bohot jachegi lekin'' Preeti said thinking about something.

''Lekin?'' Naina asked in a confused tone; her eyes still on the dress Preeti was pointing.

''Lekin yeh sirf Bombay main milte hain, matlab iss design waale.'' Preeti said a bit louder out of frustration. Phulla bua heard this part of their conversations, and suddenly it came to her what she had been trying to think from that time.

Phulla bua turned to Bela, ''Bela, hum Naina ke kapde Bombay se lene chalte hain. Utna samain bhi hai, aur wahan sab kuch acha mil bhi jayega. Achha bhi mil jaaega aur jaise designs chahiye ladkiyon ko thik waisa mil jaaega.''

''Yeh sujhav toh bohot hi accha hai buaji paryahan ka saara kaam bhi toh sambhaalna hai aur aise achaanak se kaise...'' Bela asked to which Phulla Bua answered shortly, ''Arey yaha ki chinta mat kar itna. Zyaada tarr kaam toh ho hi gaye hain aur baaki ke kaam Anand karr hi lega.Aur rahi baat shaadi ke rasmon ki, toh sab rasmein shuru hone mein kaafi waqt hai'' Phulla Bua tried to assure her.

Bela could not say No to Phulla Bua and nor she wanted to say yes. But she did not have an alternative for it. Phulla Bua studied her face and came out with an idea, xek kaam karti hun, kal se leke mein bhi chati hunt um logon ke saath kapdon ki dukaan mein. Wahan jaakar khud hi dekhungi ki kaise kapde lena sahi hai. Aur agar nahi mila toh hum Bombay jaaenge shopping ke liye, aur tu kuchh nahi bolegi.'' Finally Bela agreed to her point.

"Kya? Hum Bombay jaenge? Hayeee Naina teri shaadi ki shopping karne hum Bombay jaenge" Preeti shrieked in excitement on hearing Phulla Bua say the words she has been dying to hear since ages.

"Kaun Bombay jaa raha hai?" Sameer asked coming out of the room with the gang and Rinki. "Hum sab jaa rahe hain, Naina ke liye shopping karne" Preeti said still lost in the dream world of Bombay.

''Hayeee Naina tumhare kapde Bombay se aayenge? Accha hai, yahan waise bhi itte acche kapde aur chizein nahi milti honge na.'' Rinki said comparing the two places which made the girls a bit uncomfortable but they remained quiet.

"Arrey waah matlab hume bhi bombay ghumne ka mauka mil jayega, kyu chhenu?" Pandit said with enthusiasm diverting the topic.

"Tumhe kyu? Bombay sirf mein, Bela aur Naina Preeti jaayengi, tum logon ko yaha ki taiyaariyan bhi toh dekhni hai na. Waise bhi hum abhi nahi jaa rahe hain. Main pehle khud hi yahan dekhna chahti hun ki kaise kapde hain yahan pe. Waise Rinki ki ye baat toh sahi hai. Jaise kapde hume chahiye waise milna toh sayad yahan mushkil hai. Par main khud yahan 4 din ghumungi saari dukaanon mein aur agar nahi mila toh Bombay hi chalenge. Waise mujhe lagta hai ki chalna hi padega." Phulla bua said thoughtfully.

"Par Bua Dadi hume bhi aana hai sab ke saath Bombay" The thought of staying away from Naina was irritating Sameer.

"Arey hero itni bhi jaldi kya hai? Shaadi ke baad le jaana apni heroine ko ghumane jahan tera dil kare" Phulla Bua said with a smirk teasing Samaina.

"Waah! Kahan ghumne jaana hai? Jijju mein bhi chalungi aap dono ke saath, kitna maza ayega na sab saath mein ghumne chalenge" Rinki quipped in between.

Kamya, Hema and Swati slapped their foreheads annoyingly.

Rinki gave a confused look to them when Preeti gained her attention when she smacked her shoulder, "Paagal hai kya? Sab ko kyu le jayenge, jab jayenge tab sirf yeh dono hi jayenge na!" Preeti said joining in the teasings. "Kyun? hum sab kyu nahi jaa sakte inn ke saath?" Rinki again being her inquisitive self asked. Preeti rolled her in irritation and Munna Pandit hit their head with their fists.

"Rinki beta! Jab teri shaadi hogi na tab hum sab bhi ayenge tere saath ghumne. Phulla Bua answered gritting her teeth. She again added, abhi jaa jaake aapna saaman kamre mein rakh sahi se, jaa!" Phulla Bua said half frustated.

Admist all these banters, no one noticed Naina who had turned into a puddle till now and Sameer smiling lovingly at her. However he did not like the fact that may be Naina will be away from him for a few days, he did not want her to be sad.

Next day onwards, Phulla Bua and Chachiji along with Naina and Preeti roamed around the markets of Ahmedabad one by one. They had requested the other three to join in the shopping too. And also Munna, Pandit and Sameer would follow them. But whatever they chose, something was insufficient in it. If Swati would like the thing, Kamya would not. If Kamya and Munna would like, Hema and Pandit would dislike. If preeti would dislike the thing, Chachiji would like it. And, Preeti had said Naina to stay mum in this matter, as according to her, Naina did not have a good taste of clothing. Sameer thought they all were good, but not up to the match with Naina. And, according to tradition, besides the dress the groom wears during the pheras, all other clothes for sameer were also to be given by the brides side only. So, they had to choose for Sameer too. And the same thing happened with his one too.

Amidst all these, Rinki was elated when everyone said that they would show her their Ahmedabad. When the youngsters would get bored, they would walk out by the elders permission and roam all around. Naina and Sameer would stay most of the time together leaving the other to walk in front of them. Wherever they would stop to see the scenario, Rinki would comment this and that offending the people in the group. She would always compare the foods of here to the foods in Bombay. She would talk about different tastes, and also comment on the way everyone was. However, she never did it intentionally, but the habit of hers irritated them often. She would ask the nonsense questions tapping their shoulder, which added fuel to their annoyance. But they could not shout on her too, as she was Naina Preeti's sister. But keeping these things aside, Rinki had grown familiar and friendlier with everyone in their group; especially with Kamya, Hema and Swati.

But it was not that Rinki hated aur disliked everything. She had immediately developed a great fascination for the Law Garden but then she was comparing the food and ambience to those in Bombay.

She said it unknowingly but she was making the girls feel a bit offended.

Once, Preeti and Naina decided to make her taste the famous paav bhaaji of Law Garden where Kamya, Swati and Hema were also joining in.

When they sat to have Paav Bhaji there, but hopefully she did not say that she disliked it. Rinki asked when they sat there just talking, ''Preeti mujhe Naina aur Jiju ki love story sunao na, kitne romantic hai donon. Mujhe janna hai. Tumne abhi upar upar se hi bataya hai.''

The next few minutes went by with Preeti narrating Rinki about Samaina's love story, ''Par jijaji ne shart lagayi hi kyun thi?'' Rinki asked confused.

''Woh toh tu usi se hi puchh lena'' Naina said smiling lightly.

''Aur Swati tum aaj bhi jijaji ko pasand karti ho?'' She again asked.

''Paagal hai kya Rinki? Main nahi karti ab use pasand.'' Swati said feeling a bit uncomfortable. Naina blinked to her in assurance when she felt a bit relieved.

''Aur jijaji balcony chad ke kaise aaye?'' She did not seem to stop.

''Sidi se aaye the Rinki. Aur kaise ayenge?'' Preeti said annoyingly.

''Ab bass. Koi aur sawaal nahi puchhegi tu.'' Kamya said in a frustrated tone before she could spit out another round of questions.

''Arey dekho bohot late ho gaya hai, chalo waapas chalte hai nahi toh chachiji saara ghar sar pe utha lengi. Upar se bua dadi ki jutiyan khaani padegi wo alag. Chalo bhago sab. Warna sab ke ghar pe jute chappalon ki baarish hogi sab pe.'' Naina rushed everyone out of there. All the other four girls were thankful to her, as Rinki would stop her talking now.

When it was the fifth day of Phulla Buas arrival to their place, everyone sat dejectedly in the living area in the afternoon, with Phulla Bua on the swing. Kamya, Swati and Hema were also present there. They had purchased 1 or two dresses with great difficulty owing evryones choices. And obviously, they were not enough for the whole wedding. So many rituals were still left.

Now, they had only one way. Chachaji said turning to Bela, ''Bela! Dekho hum pehle hi hafta bhar gawa chuke hain. Ab aur nahi. Usi samay tum log Bombay ke liye nikal gaye hote toh itna waqt hi barbaad nahi hota. Khair, jo hua so hua. Ab bhi samay hai. Maina aap logon ki ticket kara deta hun Bombay ki. Aap sab kal hi nikal jaana. Wahan toh saara kaam jaldi ho jaaega. 4 5 din baad wapas aajana sab log.''

Bela nodded as there was no other way left. When they got Belas approval, Preeti and Rinki danced around and Naina looked at them with a smile. But Kamya, Swati and Hema stood with a long face. Anand smiled at them, tum'' teenon fikar mat karo. Tum teenon bhi saath jaaogi. Main tumhare ghar waalon se baat karunga.'' Suddenly the whole room filled with happy sound and great excitement to go Bombay. Their happiness had no bounds, as it would be the forst time they would see Bombay.

"Chalo ab sab kaam pe lagg jao, Naina, Preeti chalo saaman pack karlo." She rushed Naina Preeti inside their rooms along with Rinki. And also spoke to the other girls, ''jaao ladkiyon. Tum log bhi apna apna samaan sametna suru kardo. Preeti ke papa tumhare ghar waalon se baat kar lenge.'' Anand went with the girls to their houses ensuring that he arrives with them again, and this time with their luggages.

On the day of departure, Agarwaal house experienced lots of hustle and bustle, with an over excited Preeti running behind Naina to show her the latest designs they would select in Bombay for her and themselves too. And, Swati and Kamya started teasing Naina also with Rinki at her heels asking numerous questions, digging holes in their shoulders with her constant tapping.

Her questions literally carried no sense, ''Kamya! jaise Naina ke Sameer jiju hain waise tumhara bhi koi Salman hai kya?'' ''Ji nahi, aur agar hua bhi toh tujhe kyun bataungi main?'' Kamya said in an irritating tone rubbing her shoulder where she had digged her fingers just now.

''Kyun? mujhe kyun nahi bata sakti? Batao na mujhe bhi janna hai'' Rinki cribbed again. ''Rinkiiiiii!!! Meri pyaari dost. Mera koi nahi hai abhi tak, tu jaake Swati se baat karr. Haan. Jaa na. Arey jaa!'' Kamya said with a forced smile and shooed her off from near her.

Here, Bela Chachi was shouting at the girls to do the last minute checkings of the luggages, inshort the house was a total hullabaloo. At the perfect time, they all managed to leave for the station. With Chachaji and Sameer, Munna and Pandit also went to see them off along with Bela Chachi and Phulla Bua. When everyone started to climb the train, Sameer called Naina for a minute to talk to her.

"Naina tum mujhe call toh karogi na roz?" Sameer asked with a cute pout. "Kya Sameer sirf 5 din ke liye hi toh jaa rahe hain hum, aur call kyun nahi karungi? Pakka karungi." Naina smiled seeing him cribbing like a child.

''Naina! Tum 5 din ke liye nahi 7 din ke liye dur jaa rhai ho. 2 din jaana aana bhi toh hogaya na. He sighed with grief and started again, khair, itne din tumhari aawaz sunke hi kaat lunga. Iss baat ki kamsekam tasaali hai ki tum mujhe roz phone toh karogi.'' He spoke and smiled at the end.

"Call toh mein bhi karungi aapko jijaji, waise aap baat karte waqt woh Hum Aapke Hai Kaun ke Salman aur Madhuri jaise 'uhhu uhhu' karke baat bhi karte ho kya?" Rinki asked.

"Ab takk toh nahi, par ab aapne kehdiya na saaliji, toh abse aise hi baat karenge. Kyun Naina?" Sameer asked giving her a crooked smile.

''Hayee jiju aap kitne romantic ho bilkul Maine Pyaar Kiya ke Salman ki tarah'' Rinki said with a dreamy look and clapped her hands in awe. Preeti pulled Rinki when she saw Naina was about to speak in vexation, ''Chal na mere saath tu. Kab se phulla bua bula rahi hain tujhe. Her bar tera kabab mein haddi banna hazurui hai kya tera?'' Rinki furrowed her eyebrows and questioned Preeti whatever came in her mind, xpar par humne kabab kab khaya? Aur waise bhi haddi kaise aayi usme? Aur tumhe kaise pata?'' Preeti took a heay sigh and looked up speaking, ''hey bhagwaan! Bohot time nikal ke aapne ise banaya hai. Iska jaise piece sachme iss duniya mein kahin nahi hoga. Ekdum single piece banaya hai, aur humare paas laake chhod diya.'' Preeti was highly piqued by now. ''Par?'' Before she could start again, Preeti covered her mouth and pulled her inside the train. The boys bid farewell to the girls and they sat in their compartment comfortably.

On boarding the train, Chachiji immediately removed some parathas wrapped in a foil and offered Phulla Bua, "Yeh lijiye buaji. Subah nashta nahi kiya tha na toh abhi bhook lagg gayi hogi aapko, phir aapko dawaiyaa bhi toh leni hai na? Lo ladkiyon tum log bhi lo."

"Oyee, parathon ko kya ghur rahi hai? Kisi ki yaad aa rahi hogi na? hmm hmm. Hume bhi bata de kaun yaad agaya." Preeti teased nudging her shoulder.

"Chup hoja, mujhe Sameer ki yaad nahi aa rahi." Naina said shying away. "Main toh papa ki baat karr rahi thi. Unko toh aloo ke parathe bohot pasand hain. Par koi nahi. Yeh bhi theek hi hai waise. Kyun? Hain na?" Preeti said further mortifying Naina.

"Hayeee Naina tumhe jiju ki yaad aa rahi hai? Par parathein dekh ke kyun?" Rinki was ready with her next set of questions.

"kyuki jijaji ko parathe bohot pasand hai. Aur khaas karke mummy ke haathon ka bana hua." Preeti replied smiling.

''Ohh achha, waise Naina! Tune jijaji ko kabhi apne haathon se parathe diye hai?'' Rinki asked again.

''Haan, Pehli baar jab school leke gayi thi tab Sameer ko bohot pasand aaye the'' Naina said reminiscing their school days.

Their day passed in the train with Rinki's innumerable questions and with Kamya and Swati teasing Naina. Some questions would really annoy them to core and they seriously did not have any point. But they tried to answer her trying to be as cool as possible.

Next day they got off at Bombay station and Preeti along with Swati and Hema were looking at the Dome of 'Victoria Terminus' with dreamy eyes and Rinki explaining them all the specialities of Mumbai proudly.

''Waise tumlogon ko main sab jagah ghumaungi. Tum bhi toh dekho ki yahan kya kya hai. Ye dekhke tum log aone Ahmedabad ko toh bhul hi jaaogi. Chalo chalo ab ghar chalein.'' Rinki said and walked along picking up the luggages she could. Others did the same.

Kamya walked behind with Swati and stood with a tensed face and lazily picked her luggage. Swati took her out of her world, ''Oyee! Tujhe kya hua?''

Kamya shook her head, ''Arey nahi. Aisa kuchh hua nahi hai. Par mereko dar lag raha hai. Aakhir hum sab Rinki ke saath rehne waale hain. Pata nahi is ladki ko itne sawal aate kaise hain. Aise aise betuke sawaal karti hai aur humare paas jawab bhi nahi hota. Pata nahi ye 5 din kaise guzrenge yahan pe.''

Swati chuckled, ''Arey tension mat le. Wo toh bas nadaani mein sawaal puchhti hai. Use sayad hum sab jaise sab kuchh pata na ho. Par ek baat toh sahi hai teri. Kabhi kabhi bohot chidh hoti hai uske sawalon se. Khair ye baat chhod abhi. Abhi chalte hain, warna hum chhut jaayenge pichhe. Chal chal.''

Kamya nodded and walked along, praying everything to go well.

So, aage ka jaanne ke liye tujhe aur thoda sa wait karna padega. Aur aage tujhe milega humari nanuuu ( Yudkbh_7617 ) ke account pe. Thodi der baad! Toh thoda wait kar. HIHIHIHI.😉
