◇◇◇
Amrit feels a giggle building up somewhere deep in her throat.
Veer's hand squeezes hers and he raises an eyebrow as if daring her to laugh and get them both in trouble.
So far Jogi; the driver Rani Ma had sent to bring them home hasn't caught the wind of their original intention.
They had simply asked him to take a detour through the temple lane, an innocent enough request.
Her arm was finally out of its sling and apart from a small plaster on her hairline, no sign of that unwanted incident remained.
Amrit tucked her hair behind her ear and looked away, swallowing the giggle.
Soon after as they had anticipated the car got stuck in an unmoving traffic, due to the throng of shoppers blocking the lane. On the top of it, some progression was also happening - in distance they could hear the loud proclamations of the blessed lord's name.
Veer sighs dramatically.
"Ek kaam karte hai," he says generously. "If you aren't too tired Biwi Sahab, let's get down and walk the rest of the way."
Jogi looks at them with rather frightened eyes.
"But Chote hukum I was told to bring you straight back and not to let you out of my sight for even a -"
"Well too bad Jogi," Veer is already helping Amrit down. "Hum bachche nahi hai, jo humari peherdaari ki jaayein. Yeh humara sheher hai, das kadam ka raasta hai - we will manage. Right Biwi sahab?"
"Ha - haan," Amrit catches the word he mouths at her. "Aap ke galathi nahi hai Jogi bhaiya...hum abhi aate hai."
Jogi is still confused with this entire prank as they vanish into the crowd. The last sight of Jogi with his mouth half open vanishes in a blur of people. Veer holds her close, their fingers entwined and he chuckles.
"Challo challo, hurry up!"
It takes Veer a moment to realize that Amrit is pulling them in the wrong direction. He pauses.
"Why are we going towards the temple?"
People shoulder past and they are pushed closer together. Veer moves her with his arm when a large man stumbles back ahead of them. The progression is drawing closer.
"Bhagavaan ka naam lein, aur bina darshan ke jaaye, yeh toh galat baat hongi," Amrit replies then seeing Veer's face she adds, " door se darshan karlete hai, then we'll go your way, Kuwar sahab."
