A Christmas Romance

A/N: This is not proofread so sorry for any mistakes! Happy reading everyone!

It was the day of Christmas. Even though the Malhotras and Tiwaris never celebrated the holiday before, the kids of the family insisted to celebrate it together as Preeti and Pushkar's wedding had just gotten fixed. The families had known each other for a while but now that they were becoming relatives by making things official, members of the family were visiting each other more often. Everyone was happy with this marriage except Kamini chachi. Her dreams of getting Pushkar married to a 'rich and classy girl' was shattered but she agreed to the wedding for Pushkar's sake. Now, during the festive season of Christmas, the Malhotras had invited the Tiwaris to their home for a little family get together alongside dinner with a bit of Punjabi tadka according to Kamini chachi. The Tiwaris had insisted to prepare food at their place, but Ramnath had disagreed as the Tiwaris had already hosted preetibhoj earlier in the year.

Everyone was busy preparing for dinner at the Malhotra house while the ladies of Tiwari Killa had decided to make some sweets so as not to arrive at the Malhotra house empty-handed. Meanwhile, the lovebirds, Preeti and Pushkar, were lost in their own little world excited to see each other. They hadn't seen each other in a week as they had been busy with their marriage preparations.

The bride and groom weren't the only ones excited to see each other. Sumo and Shravan were overjoyed to see each other as well. Both of them had confessed their love for each other about two months ago but this fact had remained hidden from their respective families as they wanted Preeti and Pushkar's wedding to happen first. Sumo had last seen Shravan about three days ago but that had seemed like it was ages ago. Everyone always asked Sumo to do a lot of the preparations for the wedding so it was getting more and more difficult for her to take time out for Shravan and herself. As for Shravan, he hated not seeing Sumo for even a day. When he would not receive a message from her during the day, his mood would turn sour. Shravan's day used to start with a message from Sumo and these messages had been missing for two weeks now. As you might have guessed, Shravan would get annoyed, call Sumo, and they would have an argument. Shravan hated the fact that Sumo was carrying the burden of the wedding. Everyone was supposed to help each other but here Sumo was doing everything alone and when he offered to help her, she would, of course, deny his help. These arguments didn't last long as Shravan always wanted to see Sumo and he would find ways to sneak into her room and meet her. During the process, he apologized quite a few times for starting a fight. It was getting more and more difficult for them to keep their feelings hidden from their families for now.

*At Tiwari Killa*

Sumo was getting ready in her room. She was going to wear a plain old kameez but then decided against it. In the end, she decided to wear a peach-colored Anarkali. Shravan had once told her that he loved seeing her in those kinds of dresses. Even though Sumo never admits to it out loud, she loves when Shravan compliments her.

As she was looking at herself in the mirror, Sumo smiled and thought, "Aaj teen dino baad main apne khadoos ko dekhungi. Yeh teen din teen saalon jaise lag rahe the. Shravan ko dekhe bina mera mann kisi kaam mein nahin lagta. Pyaar mein bilkul pagal ho gayi hoon." Sumo tapped herself lightly on the head and laughed, "Koi mujhe abhi dekhega toh sochega ki mujhe mental asylum mein bhej dena chahiye."

Just then, Sumo's phone started ringing. She ran to pick it up as she knew who it was from.

Sumo answered the phone and was hit with a, "Kab aa rahi ho? Main kitni der se tumhara intezaar kar raha hoon."

Sumo smiled and said, "Phir se 'hello' nahi bola. Thodi toh manners rakho."

Shravan replied, "Yaar, tum jaanti ho main seedha mudde ki baat hi karta hoon akhir mein main ek lawyer jo hoon. Haal chaal pooch kar time kyun waste karun? Anyways, mere sawaal ka jawaab do."
