Sound of women singing was heard....
Today was Sangeet function of Anjali (kavya's friend)
Women were singing while little girls started to dance.
Kavya was sitting beside Anjali while talking to her....
She was wearing a beautiful Ghaghra, and was looking very pretty. Just turning 18 last month , her face had that glow that a woman possess.
Many women were looking at her just take ask for her hand for their son.
Kavya was not so rich but her family belonged to upper class.
Soon Anjali's mother came and told kavya to give water to all relatives.
Taking the tray in her hand , kavya served water to everyone who needed it.
As she finished, her other friends pulled her to do ghoomar, soon they pulled Anjali and they danced together.
No one was shy as there were only women present in the hall and men were outside.
Someone was looking at kavya while she was enjoying with her friends.

Next day was mehndi and kavya again looked very pretty. She was applying mehndi to one of Anjali's relative but was pulling by Anjali
"Baaki sab ko lagaati rahegi to khud ki reh jayegi , inko didi lagaa degi. Chal tu lagva le"
(If you will keep on doing mehndi for others , you will be left. Didi will apply on her hands, come get yours mehndi done as well)
Anjali made kavya sit and chatted with her while their hands were being adorned by mehndi.
Anjali was surrounded by her relatives and kavya was looking at her with smile. She looked at her mehndi and thought one day she will also marry...
She was still in her thoughts when a lady came and sat beside her.
Kavya smiled at her and said
"Aapko kuch chahiye, paani ya kuch thanda?"
(Do you want anything? Water or anything cold?)
The lady shook her head denying.
"Beta , me to bas ese hi aai thhi tumhara saath bethne, tum akeli thhi isliye"
(Beta , I just came to accompany you , you were alone that's why)
Kavya gave her a genuine smile and sat there with her.
"Beta , aapka naam kya hai?"
(Beta , what's your name?)
Lady asked
"Kavya rana"
Kavya replied looking at her with smile
"Oh , kitne saal ki ho? Umar me chhoti lagti ho..."
(Oh , what's your age? You look young...)
" Me 18 saal ki hu chachiji "
(I am 18 years old aunty)
"Tumhare papa ka naam kya h ? Kya karte h?"
(What's your father's name? What does he do?)
She enquired again
Kavya being kavya replied nonchalantly
"Mere papa ka naam pruthvirajsinh rana h aur unke godaam h...hamre kheto me Jo samziya ugati h , usko hamre godaam se hi kaii jageh bheja jata h"
(My father's name is pruthvirajsinh rana and he has depots... vegetables and raw material that grow in our land are exported to many place from our depots)
