"What? " sana asked impatiently.

"Aree im getting married! Shadi karri hoon main! " she declared, finally taking a deep breath. Hiding her blush with her laughter.

" oh! My goodness! congratulations naina! Kab hai shadi? "

" next month! And ye card meri shadi ka... Rukk main teri sasu maa ko hi dungi. Vrna tu akele hi aa jayegi. " she sniggered, and went her Mother in law.

" vandana di bol ri thi ki tu kitta change ho gyi hai. And im like agar Sana ka ye haal hai to mera kya hoga!" she literally said in astonishment.
