After lunch Fachin and I were looking at the ceremonies and talking about things, when he mentioned now that you are looking for a girl to marry choose someone here itself. I was glad he said that, I got an opportunity to tell there was only one girl who I could consider and that's Tanu. Had he not asked I would have not been able to say this to him.
I could see happy faces everywhere. Ladies came back we all spoke and laughed. Simran insisted Tanu to mimic some TV actors which I didn't find hilarious but others did, still i laughed couldn't make her feel she wasn't funny. She was feeling shy initially but on everyone's insistence she mimicked. She was having a hearty laugh, it seemed like she was happy in her life.
I had my train tickets booked for the evening, I had to leave when Simran heard it, she asked me to stay for the wedding, following her everyone asked me to stay. I couldn't stay there as I had my reservation.
Simran kept saying she was feeling bad she is not able to take care of us. I assured her Tanu was doing a great job and she didn't have to worry about us. Tanu brought us to the Hotel where Simran had arranged for Fachin and his wife's stay. As Fachin and his wife got down he asked me to assist Tanu to park her car, giving me a chance to be with her alone. We parked her car where she mentioned while parking her car she got a dent at the back, to that I replied saying I noticed it yesterday itself. Our chat was brief as we reached room quickly.
I landed on the bed as we entered the room. Tanu wanted to have water, I grabbed the water bottle before anyone could and offered her water, which later she would mention how I offered her water. I had to leave in sometime. I was thinking this is going to be the last time i am seeing her if not now it won't be possible to get her number and I almost felt i might not get her number.
Ladies were ready to go to the parlor. I finally asked if she had come to Ruffle(my hometown), she mentioned she had been there. I was like oh yes...!! I said, "tell me if you come to Ruffle we will meet". She asked how would she inform me, this made me happy. I replied, "I ll give you my number you give me a missed call". That's how we exchanged number. I wasn't really creative or clever to do this i few years ago.
I didn't save her number yet, I was happy. Which seemed impossible had been accomplished.
