Na Jaane Kyon...

Koi kismat jaisa laage... khushiyan inn haathon pe likhta hi jaata hai

Title is the song 'Tera naam doon' from movie 'Entertainment'

"Preeti maasi, ab aap meri maasi nahi banogi?" Ayush climbed on the bed in Preeti's house, where he was with Naina, who was helping Preeti get dressed for the engagement ceremony.

"Kyon nahi banungi?" Preeti frowned, "Main toh teri permanent maasi hun."

Ayush scrunched his nose in confusion, "Lekin Rohan chachu ne kaha aapko maasi nahi bolna kyonki abse aap chachi ho."

Preeti gritted her teeth, "Iss Rohan ke bachhe ki toh main..."

Naina placed a hand on her mouth, silencing her midway, "Control madam, shaadi ho rahi hai teri."

After she had started to visit this house more frequently since her marriage, Naina had eventually dropped the formal conduct with Preeti, and started treating her like a sister, in true sense.

"Haan toh?" Preeti placed her hands on waist and glared at Naina, "Shaadi hone se kya main Ayush ki maasi nahi rahungi, kya teri behen nahi rahungi, kya mummy papa ki beti nahi rahungi? Kal bolega ki Preeti nahi Queen Elizabeth bulao toh maan jaungi?"

Naina doubled up in laughter, "Queen Elizabeth? Preeti... queen tak theek hai lekin Elizabeth ko England mein hi rehne dete hain."

"Ruk, abhi batati hun usko." Preeti fumed and dialled Rohan's number before Naina could stop her.

"Hi darling, itna miss kar rahi ho ki ceremony tak wait nahi ho raha." He picked up on one ring, his voice elated at her call.

Preeti growled into the phone, "Main kaun hun?"

There was a silence for a few seconds then Rohan's concerned voice boomed through in urgency, "Tumhari tabiyat theek hai na... gir gayi kya kahin? Chot wot lag gayi kya sar pe? Baaki sab kahan hain? Bhabhi nahi hai kya wahan? Aur aunty uncle? Ruko, main aata hun."

"Rohannn." Preeti hissed, "Tum abhi yahan nahi aa sakte, okay!"

"Thank God tumhe yeh toh yaad hai ki main kaun hun." Rohan breathed out in relief, "Lekin khud ko kaise bhool gayi sweetie? Mere pyar mein pagal wagal ho gayi kya?"

Preeti rolled her eyes, "Itna bhi pyar nahi hai ki pagal ho jaun."

"Achha... toh kitna hai?" Rohan asked in a teasing voice, "Itna toh hai na ki shaadi se bhaag nahi jaogi? Mujhe akele honeymoon pe jaane ka koi shauk nahi hai."

"Shut up." Preeti blushed and ended the call.

Naina had been watching her all the while, resting her face on her fist. After the call, she raised a brow, "Kya kaha Rohan ne?"

Preeti waved her head, a smile lurking at the corner of her lips, "Pagal hai... puch raha tha shaadi se bhaag toh nahi jaungi."

Naina shook her head, "Na na woh sab nahi... maasi chachi wali baat ke liye kya kaha?"

"Oh damn! Woh toh puchna hi bhool gayi." Preeti slapped the side of her head, "Phir se call karti hun."

Naina took the phone from her hand and put it aside, smiling at her, "Koi zarurat nahi hai. Jab gussa aata nahi toh zabardasti kyon dikhati hai usko? Aur rahi yeh maasi chachi wali baat, toh kya farq padta hai. Ayush kabhi tujhe maasi keh dega kabhi chachi."

Ayush, who was not able to comprehend why his Preeti maasi got annoyed with what he told her, jumped up on the bed, "Haan, yehi bola tha Rohan chachu ne... jab uss wale house mein honge toh aapko Preeti chachi bolun aur jab iss wale house mein ayenge toh aapko maasi aur chachu ko umm... maasi jaisa hi kuch tha..." He scratched his head, trying to recall the word.
