Master Devil Do 'Not' Kiss Me

(2). First Meet and direct Proposal...

"Come'on get in" a Toyota Etios Car halted in front of me & my Di called me in, opening the backseat door. I'd to walk away a few lanes from my house saying I'm leaving for 1 week trip before joining Di's car.

"Namaste Uncle... Namaste Aunty" I greeted with a genuine smile to Navya's mom-dad who r seating in front of us.

"Namaste Beta! How r u?" Aunty asked with a smile.

"I'm good, Aunty"

"Tumne bahoot accha kiya ke tume humare sath chali... ghoom phir ke maza kar paogi" Uncle said turned to me with a smile. He too knew about me... My Appa n he used to a very good friend. Actually, Appa is very friendly, he has many friends...

"Nini, tum apna sara saman layi na??" Navya Di asked me.

"Yes Di!" I smiled, she too.

Then Aunty lag gayi shaddi ke preparation checking & phone pe bate... Uncle on his phone going through some important file as he won't be working for a week or more. ... And I & Di engross in gossiping about the events, which dress she bought, which I'd wear... About her friends, Jiju's friends and all...

"Wow Punjabi wedding" I shouted out of excitement when she told me the same, gaining Uncle Aunty's attention. I've never seen any Punjabi wedding before... I've seen on T.V. that their weddings r lavish n loud... 'Balle Balle Shava Shava' type...

"Yes Nandu! Cabir's family r Punjai na, isliye!" Aunty said with a smile.

"Oh!... I heard that Punjabi weddings are colorful, loud, sometimes over the top, fun-filled with lots of opportunities for singing and dancing one's heart out." I blabbered in excitement moving my hands in the air.

"Right! Aur toh Aur, they have many rituals apart from those we have generally... .....Oh God! I've to get the list of things needed in wedding rituals... Kitna Kam hai!!" Aunty was explaining when suddenly she remembers what she was doing n get engrossed in it. I just smiled at her motherly attitude in her daughter's wedding while Navya Di shook her head in disbelief that she has been preparing for so long still couldn't have enough.

"Arey han Nini!... Yeh ley" Di took out a Canon Camera and placed it in my hands... I looked at her confused.

"This is to capture everything... every moment of this 7 days in this... Even though there will be cameramen to click n record wedding shoot but this is for an internal photoshoot... and I'm giving this auspicious job to you" she said dramatically making me chuckle.

"Ok boss! I'll capture each n every moment of ur 7days wedding function... n present it to the most beautiful bride over here, the one n onlyyy ...Navyaaa Naveli." I too joined her drama company n we laughed...

"R we staying here?" I asked as we walked out of the car in front of a hotel. I thought we r going to stay with Jiju's family that's why we traveled so long.

"Yes Nini! n u know what! Cabir's Mansion is just one lane ahead... there" Di showed to left pointing to a direction.

"Come'on move fast! we've to receive our guests and then after we need to hurry to  Damad Ji's home... Come fast" Aunty shouted while heading in & we followed with our luggage carried by the hotel boy.

I entered my room which I'm going to share with Navya Di. She went out to receive her cousins n friends.

"I know I'll be alone amidst unknown people... and whom I know will get busy in wedding function... ... But no worries. I came here to enjoy... enjoy the fullest, because here no rokana-tokana... no Salluma, no Maddy... I'll be my own queen. ...I swear Appa that I'll live this 7 days like I used to when u were with me... Becoz I know, u r always with me... and I'm ur ladly Nandu!"
