Journey After Wedding - E3.

Sana woke up earlier next morning as she couldn't sleep due to excitement. She went out of the room with her brush and fresh pair of clothes. The bathroom was vacant so she immediately took bath.  She is met with her mother-in-law.

Subhadra: Arey bahu, tum utth gayi? Achcha kiya. Aaj tumhaari pehli rasoi hai, uske baad pag phere ke liye tum apne maike chali jaogi.

Sana nods.

Subhadra: Main sabke liye nashta bana rahi thi. Tum kya banaogi?

Sana: Sabko kya pasand aayega?

Subhadra: Sabko choddo, Sidharth ko suji ka halwa pasand hai aur simple bhi, bana paogi?

Sana nods shyly.

Subhadra: Chalo phir.

Sana comes back after finishing her cooking to call her husband to join for breakfast. He wasn't there. He had gone to take bath. She looks around the room properly and finds her photo in a frame beside his bed. Along with it there was another photo frame of him. She picked and looked at it as she hadn't seen him properly face to face.

Kitne pyaare dekhte hai. Mujhe toh tasveer dekhkar hi sharam aa rahi hai. Hum dono ki tasveer saath mein dekhkar jo kal sab muh dekhaayi ke samay keh rahe the woh sach lagta hai. "Bahut sundar jodi hai, kisi ki nazar na lage."

Sidharth walked in wiping his wet hair. She trembled and kept the frame down at once. He smiled as he saw her looking at his picture. She looked down at the floor in embarrassment.

Sidharth: Main hi hoon uss tasveer mein. Tum mujhe pratyaksh dekh sakti ho. Daro math main kaat tha nahi hoon.

Sana looked at him with a smile.

Sana: Woh.. naashta ready hai, maaji bula rahi thi.

Sidharth: Hmm.. chalo.

Meena and Seema takes excuse from elders and drag Sidharth and Sana away to the drawing room.

Meena: Bhaabhi, chalye ab aap swayam apne haaton se apne banaye huye suji ka halwa bhaiyya ko khilao. (Forwards the plate with sweet in it)

Sana was nervous.

Sidharth: Meenu, mere paas haath hai, main kha sakta hoon..

Meena: Sabke paas hote hai. Par aaj toh pehla niwaala bhabhi hi khilayegi aapko.

Sidharth: Kyu tang kar rahi hai?

Meena: Bhaiyya, main choti behan hoon, mera haq banta hai aapko tang karne ka.

Sidharth: Mujhe toh tang karti hai thik hai, apni bhabhi ko tang mat kar.

Seema: Arey wah wah wah.. Meenu, tere Bhaiyya toh already bhabhi ke side ho gaye. Kya jaadu kiya hai bhabhi ne?

Sidharth: Seema di, aap bhi?

Seema: Toh, tum mere bhi toh bhai ho. Aur mujhe bhi aise hi chedda gaya tha meri pehli rasoi mein. Mujhe bhi mauka chahiye tang karne ka. Ek hi toh bhai hai mera.

Sidharth: Achcha, aap kisi aur ka badla kisi aur pe nikal rahi hai. Aur tu Meenu, tu kiss liye kar rahi hai, dekh le aage jaake teri bhi aisi hi haalat hogi.

Meena: Bhaiyya, abhi aap meri chinta na kare. Sirf khilaane hi toh bola hai, kuch aur toh nahi bola.

Seema and Meena both giggle. Sana was fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

Seema: Khilao na Sana.

Sana nods and picks up a little sweet with her hand and takes it close to his mouth. He opens his mouth and eats the sweet.
