Haldi

Bandana's POV
Sumedh Sir came close to me. "Haan me abhi bhi usi baat ko lekar betha hu!! Bandana...tum...tum samajhti kyu nhi?" He asked holding my shoulders. "Aap kyu nhi samajhte Sir?" I said getting free from his grip. "Dekho me jaanta hu tum bhi mujhse pyaar krti ho...so just confess it na!" He said.

He was getting angry and then after some seconds of silence he finally spoke. "Ok! Fine then! Kal se shaadi ki sab rasme shuru hone wali h na? Me tumhari kasam khake kehta hu, k jab Yash ki dulhan vida hoke is ghar me aeghi, usi din tum is ghar se vida hone k lie, mujhse shaadi krne k lie haan bologi!! Agar esa na hua to me tumhari life se hamesha hamesha k lie chala jaunga...deal?" He asked. I listened to him carefully. He was hell confident, so was I. "Deal!" I said. Listening this, he left. We had dinner.

After that, Devaki and I went to help Mami in the kitchen.

Sumedh's POV
I was sitting on the terrace with Sidd. We saw Vansh playing so we called him. "Oye Champ!! Eddar aa! Tennu kucch pucchna aa" I said. He smiled listening to my punjabi. I asked him the reason behind Bandana's refusal, for a love marriage. He was really close to her. "Bhaiya woh na do saal pehle pind me esa hi kucch hua tha. Jab larki k gharwalo ko pta chala to unhone munde ko boht pitvaya, bechare ki haddya tod di! Fir jhoote case me andar karva diya, abhi bhi woh jail me h! Isi lie Bandana Didi love marriage k naam se kaampti h!" He explained. We sent him back and thought about the problem.

We had the solution but first I wanted Bandana to say yes. It was late night. Bandana and Devaki came and we slept.

The next morning we had to do lots of work, as ceremonies were staring officially. It was 'Haldi'.

Devaki's POV
Mami and I made the Haldi mixture for the evening. I went to put it in the Mandir. When I came out Siddharth held my wrist and took me in a room.

"Siddharth kiya kar rhe ho aap? Koi aa jaega, chodiye mujhe!!" I said trying my best to free my hand from his grip. "Pehle mujhe kucch chahiye" He said as he smirked.

I looked at him and then lowered my eyes. I was still struggling. "Devaki, yeh haath to me chodne wala hu nhi...so pehle kiss" He said showing his cheek. I was hell nervous.

"Siddharth koi dekh lega...baadme! Kiss hi to chahiye, baadme doonghi ok? Yes! Bye! See you later!" I said. "Are ruko!" He said pulling me closer to him. "Wahi to me keh raha hu, kiss hi to chahiye...chalo acchi bacchi bano" He said. I chuckled.

"Thik h baba...jhukie" I said. He was taller than me. "Kiss tumhe krni h, to khud hi manage krlo" He said. I rolled my eyes. Finally I stood on my toes and placed my left hand on his right cheek. I got close to him and shut my eyes. And finally the kiss!

After that I went back to my place and he left my hand but didn't let me go. He wrapped him arms around my waist. "Ab meri baari" He whispered. "Siddharth, no...mene abhi abhi make-up kiya h" I said. "How mean!!!! Me romantic ho raha hu aur tum ho ki..." He looking away. Well, atleast he won't kiss me.

"But you know what? Ab to me tumhe pakka kiss karunga" He said. I widened my eyes. He came close.

"Are nhi yaar woh to..." Someone said. We looked towards the door. Oh my God!! Sumedh Sir and Bandana!!! They were standing with widened eyes and opened mouths. Sumedh Sir circled his arms around Bandana's neck and placed his hand on her eyes.

Siddharth and I looked at each other and he left me immediately.

"Umm, sorry, ham to bas yaha...mehndi ki cones rakhne ae the" Sumedh Sir said looking down. Bandana took his hand off from her eyes. They put the cones there. "Sorry huh, please, continue" They both said in unision. I left that room with Bandana and then even Sumedh Sir and Siddharth left it.

It was evening. All the relatives started coming. The ceremony went well.

At the end I was going to take henna cones as Mehndi was about to start. Suddenly Siddharth came infront of me. "Devaki!!! Devaki, cockroach!!" He yelled. "Kaha h? Kaha h?" I yelled getting close to him.

I almost hugged him, when he stopped shouting and placed haldi on my cheek. Then we both burst in a laughter. "Siddharth...come here" I said in a sweet one. He stepped backwards. We both started running. Finally I caught him and put haldi on his cheek.

Sumedh Sir was also sitting there. He was on his phone so he didn't pay attention to us. We slowly went to him and placed haldi on both of his cheeks. We were playing haldi-haldi and laughing. Finally we stopped.

We two went from there leaving Sumedh Sir alone.

Sumedh's POV
I was sitting alone when I saw Champ. "Hey Champ!! Special wala hi-five!" I said. We did it. "Are aapko bhi aata h? Bandana Didi ne sikhaya aapko?" He asked. I smiled. "Naah, ham dono ne tv se sikha" I replied. Bandana and I learnt that hi-five from 'So You Think You Can Dance' in which Terence and Bosco Sir used to do it.

"Accha, lekin 'Naah' to aapne pakka unse seekha...woh kabhi 'nhi' nhi kehti, hamesha 'naah' kehti h" He said. I chuckled. "Well, woh usne mujhse hi seekha h, but never mind...ek hi baat h, tu aa na yaar, ek jaadu ki jhappi dede" I said. While hugging him I rubbed my cheeks with his and placed haldi on them. "Ab sun, Bandana subhah se kaam kar rhi h na, to jaake use bhi jaadu ki jhappi de aa, uski thakaan kam ho jaeghi" I said. He smiled and went to Bandana. I followed him. He did what I asked him to do. Bandana happily hugged him. And then finally she had 'my' haldi on her cheeks.

I was standing at the door, she looked at me. I smiled and tapped on my cheeks twice. Then I passed her a 'Waah!! Waah!!' look. She looked confused. I smirked. Then she widened her eyes and turned towards a mirror. She touched her cheeks and then turned towards me and gave me a death glare. I just winked at her and went from there.
