"are bhai tum log kya itte der lga rhe ho ... jaldi jaldi karo..." the man ordered , workers nodded speeding up in their task .
"Maa .. Maa.."
"kya haa chilla kyu rha hai ..." the old woman came and glared at her son , who again instructed workers .
"me bol rha tha ki Nitya aur uske sasural vale aane hi vale hai .. sb tayyar hai na.."
"haa ha .. mujhse kya puchna .. Yashoda se puch .. " the lady replied sitting on coat and the man walked away sighing .
"wa bai.. sb kuch dekh kar to aisa lg rha hai mano rajkumar ki shaadi ho " Shubman's grandmother stated getting off from the cart and she was soon engulfed by Nitya's grandmother.
"ha to ab to budhi ho gyi.." Shubman's grandmother remarked and other made a face "mujhse phele tu hui budhi ..." and they all laughed at their banters, water was served.
"maa Ishan kha hai.." Nitya asked looking around .
"ha bhai jiski shaadi hai vo hai kha..?" her mother-in-law asked curious to meet the boy and their wish was granted when a 16 year old boy came downstairs and greeted them .
"jeete rho beta .. kitne bde ho gye ho ... pichli baar to bilkul baccha sa the .."
Shubman so badly wanted to correct his grandfather but swallowed his urges, he smiled when Nitya hugged his brother , he kept looking at him, Ishan was taller then before , a little chubby like before and his mullets long , giving his face a soft and angelic look but not everyone has to know it .
Shubman himself was 5'11 now , he recently clean shaved as Nitya suggested him , he was 19 now, an adult and help his father in farms .
Three years passed, Shubman can't hold Ishan's marriage longer as he was doing from past two years and finally today was his haldi .
"Shubman kha kho gye.. Ishan per chu rha hai .." his mother nudged him and he looked down , his heart clenching , his fingers reached to touch other's shoulder who gave him a smile and step back.
"sb aane lge hai .. chalye.." Ishan's grandmother spoke and the function started, ladies singing folk songs , dancing on tunes of instruments . Shubman was feeling restless , he looked at everyone and his eyes locked to his mother-in-law who passed a smile to him.
Was it only Shubman's overthinking mind or this lady really try to cut short his and Ishan's interaction, that smile was awkward and through out the function Shubman felt eyes on him.
Ishan was drenched in water when ladies poured the pots over him after rubbing haldi and all . Shubman stood up seeing Ishan going to his room , he walked upstairs .
"are kuvar saa aap kha chle..." that sweet yet scared smile on her face and Shubman shook his head "khi nhi maa bs Nitya se kuch baat karni thi.."
"oh ha me use abhi bhejti hu.. vo Ishan ko kapde dene gyi hai.."
