Bandana's POV
A group of girls came. I knew their leader. "Aa gey kutti! Ab yeh Sumedh Sir se chipke ghi aur me...me to aaj iske ankhe noch loonghi!!" I thought. Sumedh Sir gave them a glass of rooh hafza. "Are waah! Yeh to boht tasty h!" She said. "Hmm, mene bnaya h!" Sir said proudly, with an ear to ear smile. "Vese mera naam Anmol h...aap?" She said. "Me Sumedh" Sir replied. "How sweet! Boht changa naam h aapka" She said. Sir smiled. "Anmol, peeche line me aur bhi log h" I said. "Pta h! Vese aap hamare yaha bhi aaiye kabhi" She said. "Kutti dafa ho ja yaha se!! Tujhe to me zameen k 10 feet neeche gaad doonghi! Jaa na ab!! Unki gowd me betheghi kya!!??" I thought. She did a handshake with Sumedh Sir and then left.

After an hour, we left for home. "Bandana paani dena please" Sumedh Sir said. "Kyu? Anmol se maang lijie na!" I said. He chuckled. "You are jealous" He asked like he read everything in my mind. "N-no I'm not!! Me to sirf yeh samjha rhi hu aapko k woh aapko sab kucch de deghi, usi k paas jaiye na!!" I said. He came close to me. "Sab kucch?" He whispered. I lowered my eyes. "Shayad!! Lekin tum jitna pyaar krti ho, utna woh kaha kar paeghi!!" He said.

I shook my head annoingly and gave him the glass of water. "Accha ek baat btao, tumhe Punjab ku shaadiya boht psand h na?" He asked. "Hmm" I replied. "To ham bhi Punjabi shaadi krenghe" He said. I looked at him and then rolled my eyes. He chuckled.

*******

It was 8 pm. The main function of the night, Jaago (or Sangeet) was about to start. In Punjab, Jaago is celebrated on the road, infront of the house.

Jaago was my favourite function in the marriage. I loved to dance and was eagerly waiting for it. Devaki and I went out of the house and found that Sumedh was talking to the DJ.

"Yeh ab yehi dance krenghe!! Me inke saath nhi naach sakti. Poora pind yaha h! Kya sochenghe sab? Inko pta chala to Sumedh Sir ki haddiyo ka churma bna denghe!! Ok, unke lie me Jaago sacrifice kar hi sakti hu" I thought and decided not to dance. Devaki was hell shocked with my decision since she knew how much I loved the function.

Finally Jaago started and everyone started dancing. 

Siddharth Sir and Devaki were dancing as well. Sumedh Sir came to me and asked to dance. I refused. He asked many times but my answer remained the same.

Sumedh's POV
When Bandana refused, Devaki came to me and told me her weakness. "Sir DJ wale ko bolo 'Angreji beat' lagae...usko sunke Bandana apne aap chali aaeghi" She said. "Umm, are you sure?" I asked. She nodded. I went to the DJ and asked him to play Angreji beat.

Our eyes were on Bandana. She was just standing there. I gave a death glare to Devaki as Bandana didn't come on stage. Devaki made a puppy face and I simply shook my head in disappointment.

Suddenly Bandana started tapping her foot on the floor, with the beat. Finally she came on stage. When she came, she looked really very normal. Devaki and Bandana looked at each other.

"Marjani pondi bhangra..." The song said and stopped. Bandana and Devaki smirked. "...Angreji beat te!!" The song said and they started dancing like...like they just got freedom from an umar-qaid. God!! She suddenly started. Siddharth and I looked at each other confusingly.

Our plan was to dance with Devaki and Bandana, but they were dancing with each other, totally forgetting us!! "Devaki mere saath bhi dance krlo" Siddharth said. "Bandana aa gey h, aap jao abhi" Devaki replied. I chuckled.

We continued dancing on Punjabi and Hindi songs.

It was midnight. The DJ was looking a bit tired so he asked me to stop. I went to Bandana. "Bandana bas kro abhi. Aadhi raat ho gey h" I said. "Kisne kaha band krne ko? DJ wale ne?" She asked. I nodded. We went to the DJ. "Agar gaana band hua to teri taange tod k haath me rakkh doonghi! Samjha?" Bandana asked to the DJ. He nodded like a good boy. She went back to the dance floor.

Another hour passed.

"Bandana bas bhi kro ab...Devaki tum to samjhao ise!" I said. "Sir aap dance se mana kar rhe ho? Please!! Nachne dijie aur khud bhi nachiye!" Devaki replied. I rolled my eyes. "Yeh Jaago h Sir! Jab me thakunghi yeh tabhi rakughi!" Bandana said.

At 2 am I was hell tired so I sat on a chair and watched everyone dancing. After sometime, there were just two people left on the dance floor, Bandana and Devaki.

At 3 am finally they looked tired and asked the DJ to stop. The function was officially finished. We went to bed and talked about the function.

Everyone was looking really happy, I was not as it was the last day of Bandana and my deal. "Aaj last din h...yeh haan boleghi bhi? Agar naa bola to!? Naah, esa nhi hoga...be positive Sumedh..." I thought.

We slept.

In the morning everyone got up and got ready for the wedding.

I wore a light blue sherwani and went downstairs.

My mood was really off. I was folding my sherwani's sleeves up when I saw Bandana. She was making Vansh wear his sherwani, and she was struggling in that. I smiled and went to her. I helped her and after getting ready, Vansh left.

I looked at Bandana once again. She was looking gorgeous in that silver and light blue lehenga. "Tumne kasam khai h kya k hamesha mujhse matching hi rehna na?" I asked. She chuckled. "Aaj last din h" She said in a bit low voice. "I know" I said lowering my eyes.

We were waiting for Siddharth and Devaki. Everyone else already left.

Siddharth came. "Tu abhi tak ese hi ghoom raha h? Aur yeh sui-dhaga leke kaha jaa raha h?" I asked. "Dude, button toot gaya...koi lagane wali nhi mil rahi" He replied. I rolled my eyes. "Upar room me tayaar ho rhi h aapki 'lagane wali'...jaiye" Bandana teased him. He chuckled and went.
