The Sharma siblings sat in their chariot with the eldest sibling as the charioteer and enroute to the park in their shahi sawari.

Mitansh, who was in the front seat, however sat half turned facing Maanvi on the back seat, with a sly smirk on his face and bobbling his head in comic directions.

The car jerked multiple times but the boy didn't turn back. When there was a sharp break and he tossed forward, Medhansh pulled him back and finally spoke,

"Ansh, aage baithate hain toh safety ke saath baitho, aapko Mannu se baat karna hai toh peeche jaiye"

"Mujhe kya hi baat karni hogi bhaiya, mai toh  bas iss param sundari ko apni pyaar bhari nazron se dekh raha hu" Mitansh spoke dreamily giving a side-glance back at Maanvi.

Medhansh hits him on his shoulder, "Kya bol rahe ho! Aise baat nahi karte hain"

"Arey maine kahan kuch bola..accha ok OK nahi bol raha ab kuch bhi" Mitansh put a finger on his lip when Medhansh glared at him.

The ride continued for a while with Mitansh humming pehla pehla pyaar hai, pehli pehlee baar hai.

Maanvi was unbothered by the antics of her brother. Not because she didn't care, but more because the heavy worked suit that she wore was making her very uncomfortable in the  Delhi summers.

"Bhaiya AC theek se nahi kaam kar raha hai kya? Tez kardijiye please" She spoke as she fanned herself with the dupatta.

Medhansh instantly lowered the temperature, however looked back at his sister in the driver's mirror, who was perspiring in her dress.

"Mannu AC toh theek chal raha hai beta, agar aapko zyada uncomfortable lag raha hai toh hum ghar vapas chal sakte hain. Aap change kar lijiyega fir hum vapas aa jayenge."

"Nahi nahi bhaiya mein theek hoon" Maanvi instantly denied. 

Itni mehnat se yeh plastic ka bana hua kapda pehna hai, maqsad toh poora karne dein bhaijaan.

Mitansh's silence, as usual, did not prevail for a long time as he picked a new topic to enlighten the people.

"Bhaiya aapko yaad hain ek Monty bhai the na, jo hamare pados mein rehte the?"

"Haan"

"Unki shaadi yaad hai aapko pichle saal?"

Medhansh simply nods

"Aapko yaad hai kitna mast golgappa aur aaloo chaat tha shaadi mein"

Medhansh knew his brother well that he was only creating the plot right now for a main question that he meant to ask all along. Only that he knew the question would definitely not be one that he would approve of.

"Monty bhai ki shaadi ka kya Ansh?" He asked finally.

"Nahi, voh  aapko yaad hai shaadi mein jane ke liye mumma ko peeche baithi hui queen victoria ko kitna samjhna- manana pada tha ek simple sa suit pehene ke liye?"
