"But.." I murmured.

"Okay let's pack, we have to go to Lucknow now" said Maans daadi.

"Daadi why tomrrow we don't even know each other that well yet!" complained Maan.

"Yeah but beta you will know her better after marriage" said Daadi. My family packs and comes downstair with tons of suitcases. Everyone gets excited except for Geet, Maan, Aliya, and Tanu.

" I don't think everyone will fit in one car so that's why I brought two car" said Abhishek.
"Okay choose which car to go with".

"Of course Maan and geet is going to sit together" said Daadi. Maans daadi forces Maan and geet inside the car. In one of the car was Maan, Geet, Aliya,Tanu. while the other is Daadi shirla, Akash, Abhishek, and Sita. Later on Maan asks the driver Prakash to play the radio. ~uh huh rockstar, love love happyy love~
"Maan yeh toh tumhari ghanna hai" said Tanu. { Translation: Maan this your song}
Everyone in the car starts singing his song except me.

I pretended to fall asleep but that annoying Maan kept bothering me by calling me fugee.

"Fugeee, oii fugeee, fugeeee" Maan said annoyingly.

"Kya!" I asked. {kya - what?}

"Bhai chor na kyu bhicharri ko taunt kaur rahai" said Aliya.

{ translation: brother stop it why are you taunting this poor girl }

"Because it's fun to see her annoyed" said Maan. I leaned on the window and stared at the sky. 4 hours later Maans daadi, Abhishek, Sita, and Akash reaches lucknow first. "Why are they still not here yet?" Said Abhishek worriedly. Sita, Abhishek, Akash and Daadi shirla gets worried. Just then we arrived. I smiled as I came out of the car. I stretched and accidentally hit Maans face.
"S-sorry are you okay?" I asked.
"Fugee watch it, are you blind" said Maan.
"I think we should go straight to farmhouse after buying stuff we need for the engagement" said Shirla Daadi.

"That's a great idea while akash and I drink some tea in a restaurant and talk" said Abhishek.
"Sita why don't you come with us".
"Nahi Abhishek you guys go talk" Sita said.
"Just come with us and you don't really know this place well" said Akash and brings Sita along.

"Okay challo" said Daadi to Maan, Tanu, Aliya and me.

{Translation: challo - lets go}

"First lets go to saree place".
"And Maan look out for my bahu, she is new to this place".

"It's not like she's going to be eaten" murmured Maan.

"Maan I can't believe Iam attending to your wedding" whispered Tanu madly.

"Baby you know daadi's condition is bad and I have to listen to her" Maan whispered back.

People started staring at my clothes and whispered.

"Arey what is she wearing? I mean look at her style, is she trying out for the circus show" a stranger laughed.

"she came from a village so what do you expect" Aliya said with a evil laugh.

"Why are you guys stopping? hurry come inside" said daadi.

I walked inside the saree store sadly. While entering a guy pushes me on purpose. And I knew it was on purpose.
"Sorry" I said looking away.
Slowly my tears started falling. I wiped my tears as soon as Daadi turned around.
"Bahu, which saree do you want?" asked Daadi.
"I don't know daadi" I said.
"Behenji hurry up choose a saree" said Aliya.
"Aliya you have to wear a saree too" said daadi.

"Daadi ma I like this red color saree" I said.
"Really arey wow I was looking at this one too" said daadi.
"Tanu, Aliya are you getting someting guys" asked daadi. Daadi wraps up the saree for Tanu, Aliya, and mine.
"Now it's Maans turn" said daadi.
"What? I have to get saree too" Joked Maan.

"Shhh and just follow me" said daadi.

Daadi forces Maan and gets him a clothing for the shaadi. Daadi Shirla calls Abhishek and informs him that shes done shopping. Everyone gets back to the car and goes straight to Farm house. They reaches the farm house and waits for Neel to open the door. Neel is Abhishek's other best friend.
"Abhishekkk, daadii!!" shouted Neel with joy.
"hurry and open the door yaar" said Abhishek.
Neel opens the door and hugs Abhishek.
"By the way this Maans fiancé Geet, and we're getting them married here" said Abhishek.
"And yeh Aliya and Tanu is Aliya's best friend".
"Don't forget Geets parent Sita and Akash".
"Namaste🙏" said Neel.
"Omg so this your beautiful beti" said Neel hugging Aliya.
"Maan what's up yaar, you've grown so much".
Neel brings them inside the farm house and claims that he is going to make this the BEST SHAADI EVER.
Neel writes his plans for the shaadi in his journal.
"So first engagement is tomorrow and the day after engagement is haldi ceremony then the day after haldi ceremony it's the mendhi ceremony and the day after mendhi ceremony it's finally shaadi" said Neel.

Everyone gets excited and starts preparing. Daadi tells Maan and I to rest. Neel shows my room and then shows Maans room. At the middle of night, when everyone slept Geet wakes up to get a drink in the kitchen. "where is the kitchen?" I whispered.

Maan also goes up to the kitchen half awake and is shocked to see someone in the kitchen and shouts, "Bhooth,Bhooth,bhoooooth".

{ bhooth - ghost }

"Ahhhhh" I screamed.

Daadi comes downstairs and turn on the light.

"Kya hua?" asked Daadi.

{ translation: what happen? }

"Tum" Maan and I said at the same time.

"You just can't find someone else to scare" Maan said.

"Daadi I almost had a heart attack and I don't know what will happen later when we get married".

"Kya" I said feeling insulted.

I crossed my arms speechlessly toward Maan.

"Maan, Geet go to sleep now" said Daadi and leaves.

"pagal ladki" whispered Maan.

{ Translation: crazy girl }

"Ghatiya insaan" I whispered.

{translation: bad person}

"Kya? what did you call me" said Maan.

"Iam not talking to you, Iam talking to the bhooth" I said sarcastically.

It was morning and I woke up by the sound of my mom instructing some workers. I went downstairs and bumped into Maan.
"Oh shit, I just had to see her face in the the morning" Maan said.
"Ab toh Sara din karab hongi".

{translation: Now the whole day is going to be bad}

"Iam not that happy to see your face either" I said. I went to the bathroom and washed my face. "kitni saf hai" I whispered.
{Translation: so clean}

"Beta ek kaam karo, tum ready ho jao aur Geet ko bhi patao" said daadi.

{Translation: Son do something for me, go get ready and tell Geet too.}

"Oii fugee go get ready" said Maan knocking at the bathroom door.
I asked Maan how to turn on the shower and Maan starts making fun of me. Maan goes inside the bathroom to help geet turn on the shower. There was note outside the door that read [ WARNING: shower doesn't work properly]. When Maan turned on the shower the water started spilling and spraying everywhere. Maan almost slipped fortunately I caught him but fell on the floor with him.
