SERENDIPITY

16.

As the function started, Aarohi and Bhavika came for the first performance of the night.

(Till 1:20 only)

Shreyas could not help but blush at his wife who was busy dancing her heart out on the stage. The way she would point at him made his blush deepen.

"Vesse Shreyas bhai, essa kya chal raha tha jab mein aur bhavika aaye the?" Shubman teases him making him glare.

("By the way Shreyas Bhai, what was going on when Bhavika and I came?")

"Essa kya hora tha?" Ishan asks joining in.

("What had happened?")

"Zyada kuch nhi, bas woh bed tuta hua hai" Shubman continues making Ishan gasp dramatically making Shreyas groan.

("Nothing much, just that bed is broken.")

"Tum dono ko bahar phek dunga mein!" He threatens but they shake him off.

("I'll throw you both out!")

"Aww stop teasing this poor man child" Rohit teased making Shubman and Ishan laugh while Shreyas whines.

As more performances came by from the families, Shreyas could not help but admire his wife who was with Kirti.

"Damn you are in love" Anushka says as she sits beside him.

"What? Nhi bhabhi um-" His stammering was cut off by Ritika's chuckle.

"So tu Rohi se pyaar nhi krta?" She asks making him panick.

("So you don't love Rohi?")

"essa nhi hai but-" 

("it's not like that but-")

"Shreyas you love her. Admit karne mein koi burai nhi hai. I get it tum dono ki shaadi bohot jaldi mein hui but the feelings were always there" Dhana explains 

("Shreyas you love her. There is no harm in admitting. You both got married very quickly but the feelings were always there")

"Think about it" Athiya says as the ladies leave.

"Chalo ek to ho gaya. Ab uss gadhi ki baari" Athiya says as she glances at Aarohi

("Well, one thing is done. Now it's that stupid's turn.")

Just as Shreyas was lost in his thoughts, the next song played grabbing his attention.

"Bhai paani?" Abhishek who came to sit with him offered him water with a very innocent look.

("bhai water?")

Shreyas thanked him and took a sip. However, he chocked on it seeing Ishan and Aarohi on the stage.

"Aree aram se" Abhishek says with mock concern earning a glare. Shreyas clutched the water bottle tightly making Abhishek chuckle.

("Oh be careful")

"Aapki zyada nhi jaal rahi?" He asks teasing

("Aren't you feeling too sad?")

He gave Ishan a "Tujhe to mein baad mein dekh lunga" look which Ishan shrugged off and grabbed Aarohi's hand which added fuel to his fire.
