Delhi

The preparation for engagement began in full swing, they were in the famous market of Delhi. Nandini looked at Bulbul and said "Bulbul.. beta shaaid ka joda sasural se aata hai toh Viren se puchle kya karna hai"

"maa.. Viren ke kaha hai ki mannu Delhi aayegi ek do din mein tab le lenge" Bulbul informed her.

"Acha ye toh bahut hi achi baat hai" Nandini was amused hearing her words.

Aarav murmured "phirse jhelna padega jungli billi ko"

Bulbul looked up at him and he eyed her shrugging his shoulders. Bulbul sighed and said "jaake apne liye kapde pasand karo"

"mujhe nahi karna hai! Aap pehle apne liye lo" Aarav said

Nandini looked at a lehenga while Aarav also eyed at the same one. Both of them spoke "wo waala..."

Bulbul exchanged glances with Karan, Karan smiled "Toh aaj bhi maa bete ki pasand ek hai" he commented.

Nandini ignored his words and continued looking for more dresses. Aarav spoke "time waste hai khadoos wo choice best hai"

"tumse pucha nahi hai maine..." Nandini replied.

Aarav walked away and came to the men's section with Karan. "jab meri sunni nahi toh main aaya hi kyun hun yahan" he murmured.

Bulbul looked at her mother and said "maa.. wahi lete hai na that's perfect"

"thik hai" Nandini finally agreed and finalized the same lehenga which she and Aarav selected first.

Bulbul's phone ringed, she picked up the call "haa.. thik hai aati hun main"

She excused herself "maa mujhe hospital jaana hoga emergency hai"

"Are par.. baaki dresses jewellery sab baaki hai" Nandini said.

"maa aap dekhlo please.." She moved out of the shop hurriedly.

"God.. ye ladki bhi na" Nandini sighed deeply as she didn't have time to shop for her own wedding.

"Ab doctor ki duty hi aisi hai Nandini, it's okay hum Sunday ko aa jayenge abhi jitna hua uska payment karke chalte hai" Karan suggested.

Nandini agreed, Karan made the payment and they headed back towards home. On the way towards the car, Aarav said "papa.. main aata hun"

Nandini looked around and saw the Chandni Chawk food street. Aarav was about to step forward but stopped hearing Nandini's voice.

"ghar ka khana khate hue toh inhe sharam aati hai! Peth leke baith jaana phir aap Karan" Nandini scolded Karan.

Karan looked at her shockingly, he didn't even say anything. "maine kab mana kiya ghar ka khana khane se"

"sab jaanti hun main ache se... saalo se aap yahan aate hai chandi chawk ka khana khate aur raat bhar pet pakadke baith jaate hai! Operation karna padega na tab pata chalega!" Nandini scolded him indirectly; this scolding was for Aarav.

Nandini walked ahead towards the car, Aarav smiled hearing her words. Karan slaps Aarav's arm and said "Teri wajah se mujhe daant padti hai! Kitni baar kaha hai mat kara kar aisi harkatein"

"chalyie warna khadoos aur daant laga degi" Aarav said and walked ahead.

They returned home, Nandini kept the shopping bags into the room and freshened up.

Aarav headed upstairs to the room and did his pending office work.

Bulbul returned home at 11 pm, she went to the kitchen and drank the glass of water. She opened the fridge for the food, but she didn't find anything.
