Sana was shocked to get proposed as it was just out of the blue for her.
Sana: Sidharth, do you know what you are saying? Matlab shaadi jeevan bhar ka commitment hota hai. Agar aap mere se sympathy ki wajah se shaadi karoge toh kal ko jab sympathy khatam ho jayegi toh aap kya karoge?
Sidharth: Kisne kaha ki my sympathize kar raha hoon. Tum mujhe genuinely achchi lagti ho. Apni family ko tumne apne khushiyon se badkar pyaar diya. Mein bhi yahi struggle kar raha hoon life mein. Mujhe aisa hi jeevan saathi chahiye jo qualities tum mein hai.
Ek middle class family se belong karne wale ko paison se jyada pyaar na milne ka aur akele pad jaane ka darr rehta hai. Kyuki humare liye wahi sabse badi punji hai. Warna aaj tum itna ganda faisla kyu leti? Mujhse shaadi karna ussey bura faisla toh nahi ho sakta na? Jee ke dekho Sana, mein tumhare saath hoon.
He forwards his hand and she looks into his eyes. It had the genuine and pure feeling. She placed her hand in his. He smiled and got up to occupy the seat beside her. He gave her a side hug. The waiter gets the parathas.
Sidharth: Hmm.. jaldi se khatam karte hai aur ghar chalte hai, maa-babuji ko batana hai mujhe.
Sana looks at him with fear.
Sidharth: Kya hua?
Sana: Aapke haath mein haath dene tak toh nahi tha but ab darr lag raha hai kahi ye haath chutt na jaayein. Agar aapke maa-babuji ne mana kar diya toh?
Sidharth tears a piece of paneer paratha from her plate and feds her.
Sidharth: Nahi karenge mana. Unko toh haath mein diya lekar ghumne se bhi aisi bahu nahi milne wali. Bharosa rakho mujhpar.
She looked up at an imaginary sky, closed her eyes and folded her hands. He looked at her in admiration. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.
Sana: Main apne Mummy Papa se permission maang rahi thi.
Sidharth: Achcha? Kya kaha unhone?
Sana: De diya permission unhone.
Sidharth: Sach? Kaise pata chala?
Sana: Mujhe jab bhi kuch important decide karna hota hai tab main aise hi aankhein band karke unse permission puchti hoon. Agar unka jawab haan hai toh unka hasta hua chehra nazar aata hai. Agar na hua toh unka gussewala ya sad chehra nazar aata hai. Aaj unka hasta hua chehra nazar aaya. Wahi chehra jab unhone mere shaadi ki card dekha tha.
He placed a soft kiss on her forehead. For the first time she blushed and looked around to see if anybody was watching them.
Sidharth: Nahi dekha kisine, corner hai.
She bites her lips and smiles showing her bunny teeth.
Sana: Main ek phone karke aao?
Sidharth: Kise? Tanushree se? (She nods yes) Yahi kar lo..
Sana: Mujhe sharam aati hai. (Blushing with baby voice)
Sidharth laughed loudly with his eyes closed. His laughter was mesmerising and she was lost admiring it.
