OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Part 13

NOTE: Lets get some festivities in. A desi story without festivals seem boring. I havent used many Festivals but a few would be great.

MEHENDI ki RAAT

The gang gave their little innocent kiddo time to settle. It was a day before karvachauth. Daadi wanted everything special for geet. She took geet for extensive shopping for the occasion. Geet had missed her chance to be pampered on her marriage, so daadi wanted to compensate in a way, as all happened on her wish. Daadi ordered a beautiful lehenga for the occassion and accessorized it to the minutest thing.

Geet initially resisted but daadi was persuasive that this would satisfy her and it was the most apt occasion being her first karvachauth.

Geet hesitantly confided into meera that she has a mehendi booking so if she would accompany her. Nuts was unexpectedly ready to accompany them. They went to the parlour after their classes in the evening. Geet got mehendi on her legs upto her knee and upto her elbow on the hands.

Nuts was trying to lighten up the moment as she knew the whole occasion must be hurting Geet somewhere deep. Karvachauth was no festival but deeply associated with her stupid marital status.

Mehendi wala- Madam should I write your husband's name?

Nuts- Yes write it but not on her hads but on her legs. Better write it on the toe.

Meera and Geet started laughing.

Meera- Poor Chap. Give me the cone, I will write it. She wrote AKDOO on one hand and KHAROOS on the other.

They again laughed. They had a laugh riot all through the process. Meera kept feeding chocolates to geet. They kept cracking silly jokes.

Mansion

Finally, geet reached home late as the mehendi took a long time to complete. Geet entered the dining hall. She looked so sweet. Salwar pulled upto her knee and secured there with help of safety pins and her hands raised high in air with palms open. She walked like a toddler who had just learnt to walk and keeps each step with care. Geet walked softly not to spoil her mehendi.

Daadi had just completed her dinner. Dev was busy feeding Naintara. Maan had had too much of the coochie coo Dev was doing for Naintara, who sat there with mehendi in her hands. He was anxious to complete his dinner to get rid of such drama of love. He saw geet and left a silent laugh on her awkwardness. The girl had a specialty in looking appealing in whatever she did.

DM- Geet show me your mehendi. Wow its beautiful. Finally, you listened to me and went for the appointement. It completes the look.

# daadi- It is waste to expect Maan to feed her. he will hurt her by refusing. Its better that I do it. #

DM- Geet Come I will feed you.

Geet- Daadi I am done. Meera made me eat chocolates and chips.

Dm- Tomorrow is your fast. You need proper dinner.

Geet took a seat near daadi when nakul pulled a chair for her to sit comfortably. Daadi started feeding her.

Dev was meanwhile searching his name in Naintara's mehendi.

Dev- I cant find it.

Maan- What are you trying to search in that. Map of delhi.
