Tangled Ties

Neend

It was evening and the whole family have gathered in the hall for the ceremony of the day.....Mahendi.

"So as I have already told you the rules, are the guys ready?" Varsha asked as the grooms team cheered yes in unison.

"Great now sit with your partners and start doing it."

Avyansh sat in front of Siya before he gestured Pari to come forward. She came and gave him the sheet of paper she was holding and everybody looked surprised.

It was a template through which he could easily make design.

"Haaw...Maa ye to cheating hai." Siya complained to which Avyansh gave her a smug look and said "Everything is fair in love and war."

"To bhaiya...is it love? Or war?" Kriti asked with a teasing smile on her face.

"Whatever your bhabhi takes it as." He replied shrugging his shoulder earning hoots and claps from his cousins.

'Hey Ram ji! Ye inhe kya ho gaya hai?' Siya asked her imaginary Ram ji.

'Tumhari sangat ka asar ho gaya h." Her imaginary Ram ji replied at which she huffed.

The grooms team finally won today's game as all of them used the template to complete their work.

********

After dinner Avyansh secretly made his way towards the room Siya told him to meet to tell him about the dance performance. He knocked on the door and it opened to recieve huge surprise. The entire bride team was standing there with their hands crossed across their chest while his wife was standing at the very end.

He tried to move towards her when Priya bhabhi stopped him.

"Kahan chale janab?"

(Where are you going mister?)

He pointed towards Siya before saying "Kuch zaruri kam hai."

(I have some important work.)

"Hame bhi pata hai apka zaruri kam. Siya ne sab bata diya. Isliye aaj se Sangeet...nhi nhi shaadi tak apni biwi ke as pas bhi mat bhatakiyega.

Aur han aaj se aap sab ladkewale ek kamre me aur ham ladkiwale ek kamre me soyenge warna pata nhi.....ap dono ko ek kamre me chod diya to kya ho jaye. Mujhe chachi banna hai par apni shaadi se pehle nhi." Aditi gave them a teasing smile.

As soon as Siya registered her words, she punched her best friend's shoulder while Avyansh's ears tuned pink.

"Aww....jiju sharma gaye.....chaliye chaliye...bye bye!!" Aryaa said as everyone waved at him while giggling before closing the door.

********

Aryaa moved towards the kitchen late night with jug in her hand. She stopped as soon as she spotted Veer near the cooler, blowing his hands.

She moved towards him and tapped his shoulder.

Veer was not expecting someone so as soon as he felt something, he jumped shouting "Ahhh...mummy bachaoooo...Bhoot....chudail." His heart racing per mile at the mere thought of a ghost.

(Save me......ghost!!)

Aryaa covered his mouth with her hands to stop him from waking others up.

"Chup! Chup! Aree Shut up!" He finally stopped shouting and looked towards Aryaa before sighing in relief.

"Kya kar rahe ho yahan? She whisper shouted.

(What are you doing here?")

"Aree chikchik baby! Itne dhire kyun bol rahe ho? Yahan koi nhi hai. Sab so rahe hn." He said in his normal voice.
