Nani : are wahh! Chalo acha hai meri bachi ko itne ache log mil gaye, acha vo dusra ladka kaisa hai? 

Sana : sidharth? 

Sid was coming towards nani's room to call both of them to have dinner but stopped on door hearing his name, he hide behind door to hear their conversation, he knew it was not good to hear others conversations secretly but he still wanted to hear as sana was talking about him…. 

Nani : ha sidharth… Bohot shant rehta hai pr tere liye ladayi karne sabse aage aata hai… 

Sana left a soft chuckle remembering about 

the way he had fought for her with her mama and Mami… 

Sana : bohot acha hai vo… Aapko pata hai hospital me nanu ki surgery ke liye bhi payment usi ns kiya tha, but maine use promise kiya hai ki mai use uske paise return kar dugi… 

Nani : beta baat uske paise dene ki nahi uske badhe dil ki hai jo tere mama mami ke pass to bilkul nahi hai… 

Sana : hmm bilkul sahi kaha aapne nani, uska dil sachme bohot badha hai warna koi aise insan ki madat nahi karta jisne uski sabke samne beizati ki ho…. 

Nani : ye kya keh rahi hai bache? 

Sana : kuch nahi nani mumma chorhiye ye 

sab bate aap mujhe ye batao ki konsi important baat ke liye aapne mujhe Delhi wapas aane ko bola tha… 

Nani : shehnaaz bache tu ab 20 saal ki ho jayegi kuch mahine me or mai janti hu ye umar bohot choti hai shadi ke liye tumhare culture ke hisab se… 

Sana : kya shadi! 

Both sana and sid were shocked hearing word shadi… They somewhere got idea what her nani was up to… 

Nani : han! Shadi! Dekh bache mujhe nahi pata meri kitni saase bachi hai or tere mama mami ki harkato se to lagta hai jitni hai uski bhi aadhi hi nasib hogi… (she chuckled while saying) 

Sana : nani yr please aise matt bolo, mai already nanu ko kho chuki hu or ab aap bhi aisi baat kar rahe ho… (she had tears while speaking, her voice also chocked) 

Nani : oye pagal, ro kyu rahi hai? Oho, acha tu hi bta do love birds ek dusre ke bina ji sakte hai kya? Mujhe hichkiya (hiccups) aa kr bura haal ho gya hai, tere nanu mujhe waha upar baithe bhi itna yaad kar rahe hai… Or sach kahu to mujhe bhi bohot yaad aa rahi hai unki, jabse shadi huyi thi humari ek dusre ki bina ek din bhi nahi rahe hum dono… Ab to do din ho gaye hai or mujhe nahi lagta mai jyada din unke bina reh sakugi… 

Nani left some sobs remembering her husband, her love… sana also cried with her hugging her, sid also got some drops of tears in his eyes… 

Nani : bache mai chahti hu ki isse pahle mujhe kuch ho mai teri shadi kardu, mai janti hu teri umar nabi hai itni badhi jimmedari uthane ki pr mai nahi chahti ki mere baad tu akeli reh jaye… 

Sana : nani shadi bohot badhi jimmedari hai mai kaise sambhalugi sab? 

Nani : beta jab sath dene wala sacha or acha ho to koi jimmedari badhi nahi lagti… 

Sana nodded her head understanding her nani's words and concern… She just nodded agreeing her words… While sid stood their with full of curiosity… His only concern was sana's wedding, as he had realized his feelings for her he wanted to be the person who will hold her hand for lifetime…. 

Nani : tu bohot achi or samjhdar hai beta, mai 

bohot khush hu ki tune meri ye Aakhir khwayish mani, meri nazar me ek ladka hai tere liye, agar use shadi se inkar na ho to mai teri shadi jald hi usse karwa dugi…. 

Hearing nani's words Sid felt sad, he left his last hope as nani had already choosed some boy for his Sana… He being irretated with the fact that nani is going to marry sana with some other man knocked door to get their attention… 

Sid : nani ji! Shehnaaz! Khana aa gya hai aap dono niche aa jao or dinner karlo…. 

Nani smiled at him and nodded her head… They came downstairs to have dinner…. 

Madhu : Nani ji ye lijiye aapka simple bina masale ka khana… 

Nani : urfo! Tum log bhi ubla hua hi khilao mujhe, bohot khush ho rahe hoge sana ke nanu mujhe ye sadha hua khana khate dekh kr… Jab vo the tab bhi mujhe kuch acha nahi khane dete the, hamesha ubla hua hi khilate the or khud bhi wahi khate the… 

They all laughed at her tantrums and had their dinner… After dinner sana was about to help nani to go up stairs in her room but nani stopped her and asked Sid to help her… sid helped her in climbing stairs and they reached her room… 

Nani : tera naam sidharth hai na bache? 

Sid : ji.. Ji nani… 

Nani : tujhe malum hai dusro ki bate chup chup kar sunna kitni buri baat hai? 

She asked raising her one brow, while sid's face turned pale hearing her words, he gulped hard and looked at her apologetically… 

Sid : vo.. Mai vo… 

Nani : chup kr mai vo mai! Chal idhar baith or mere pair daba, bohot dard ho rahe… 

Sid looked at her horrifiedly and sat near her legs on bed and started pressing her legs… 

Nani : wah kitne ache se daba rha hai, apni biwi ki seva bhi aise hi karega kya? 

Sid : ji? Ji… ji nani ji, agar use jarurat huyi to jarur… 

Nani : hmm, parivar me kon kon hai tere? 

Sid : umm dad and ek badhi behan… 

Nani :ohh  to tere dad kya karte hai? 

Sid : ji unka business hai, clothing company.. 

Nani : acha acha! Padhayi ke baad unki hi company join karega ya kuch or passion wagera hai? 

Sid : ji nahi dad ki hi company join karuga… pr usse pahle training lunga kuch time ke liye… 

Nani : hmm great! Matlab mehanti hai tu!
