I felt a pang of guilt, but I had to be honest. "Yes, but I promise after marriage, if you don't want me to stay in your room, I can move out or sleep on the couch. I won't touch-"
Anirudh cut me off, his expression unreadable. I wondered what he wa...

"Maa, ye Kya baat hui? Me aaj se Roop ko dekh bhi Nahin sakta aur upar se aap mujhe Mera phone bhi Nahin de rahi. Ab Kya Roop se baat bhi na karu" (Mom, what's going on? I can't even see Roop from today, and on top of that, you're not giving me my phone. Now, should I not even talk to Roop?) I said angrily, sitting on the couch with my arms wrapped around me.
"Aare bhaiya, bas 12 din ki to baat hai" (Oh brother, it's just a matter of 12 days) Anuska said to me teasingly.
"Jab tumhari shadi hogi na tab pata chalega Tumhe" (You'll know when you get married) I said to Anuska, and as expected, she shut her mouth.
"Maa. Jab aapki shadi hui thi, papa aapko dekhne Nahin jate the?" (Mom, when you got married, did dad not see you before that?) I asked.
Maa started blushing. "Wo sab-" (That's.....) she began to say, but Papa cut her off.
"Aare beta, Me to tumhari maa ke Ghar ke khidkiyon se jaya karta tha. Wo din bhi Kya din the" (Oh son, I used to go to your mom's house through the windows. Those were the days) Papa said with a wink at my mother.
Maa goes to the kitchen while blushing.
"To papa aap maa ko dekhe Bina ek pal bhi Nahin rehe sakte the" (So, papa, you couldn't even spend a moment without seeing mom?) Anuska asked Papa. Papa started laughing.
"Nahin beta bilkul nahin. Ek pal to kya ek sec bhi Nahin. Abhi bhi me tumhare maa ke Bina ek sec bhi Nahin reh sakta. Pata Nahin agar tumhari maa na hoti to mera Kya hota?" (No child, not at all. Not even a moment, not even a second. Even noe, I can't spend a second without seeing your mom. I don't know what would have happened to me if your mom wasn't there) My papa said, reminiscing about their past, a big smile forming on his face. I also need a love story like them. I also want this much love in our relationship.
"Bas kijiye aap. Kab tak asi behki behki baatein karenge aap" (Enough. How long will you keep talking like this?) Maa said, coming out of the kitchen.
"Jab tak tum mujhse bore na ho Jao mujhse" (Until you get bored of me) Papa said.
"Mai aapse kabhi bore Nahin hungi" (I will never get bored of you) she said.
"To me bhi kabhi aise behki behki baatein karna Nahin chodunga" (Then I will never stop talking like this) Papa said. We all started laughing.
After some time, I finished my breakfast, and today we all are going to Roop's house to fix the dates for other occasions, except me. Everyone is going, even my driver, but not me. All are getting ready to leave.
"I am the groom but mujhe koi puchta hi nahin" (I'm the groom but no one even asks me) I said, making a sad face. But everyone ignored me and left.
I came out of the house and saw everyone getting into the car. "Kam se Kam Meri taraph se Roop ko hi bol dena" (At least tell Roop a hi on my behalf) I said loudly from the entrance door, and everyone started staring at me and laughing.
