As their car halted. sana was surprised was an understatement. She was elated...

Sana: Siddharth.?? Gurudwara..?

(Han han.. Those who guessed it right.. Apki writer ... Predictable hogai hai hena?)

Sid smiled at her..

Sid: tune hi toh bola tha jabse Mumbai aayi hai.. Gurudware Nahi ja paai.. So maine sochaa.. Kyu naa aj chalein.. ? Waise bhi itne did baad mein office jaara hu.. I also need blessings..

Sana was on cloud 9. She smothered his face with kisses all over.. Making him cringe earning a hit on his shoulder from her .

Sana was overjoyed.   More at the thought of him being so thoughtful for her. She looked at him with all her love and muttered a thank you. In return he just kissed her cheeks.

They went inside and removed their shoes. A guy came and started polishing his shoes..

sid: arey... Iski jarurat nahi hai.  

Guy: are nahi bhaiyaa... Koi baat nahi aap jaoo..

Sana: Siddharth.. Yaha esa hi hota hai.. Log yahan isko seva bolte hain.

The guy handed him something to tie around his head as shehnaaz covered her head with her duppatta. 

Sid: seva?

Sana: haan! Tujhe pata hai.. Bahut saare log yaha gurudware mein na seva karne ko aate hai.. Ese jute polish karna,khana banana,safai karna,khana baantna aur bhi bahut kuch... Bina koi paise liye..selfless service kehte hain ise.. Humare jo guru the unka kehna tha ki bini kisi swarth ke pyar se seva karne se anand aur mukti milti hai.  Kai log apne paapo ka prayischit  karne yaha ake seva karte hain.

They walked towards the paani ka kund and washed their feet in the small water passage at the foot of stairs as she went on..

Jinka kahi koi ghar thikana nahi hotaa na unlogo ko bhi yaha rehne diyaa jata.. aur wo log bhi din raat yaha seva karte hain madad karte hain... Bahut mehatva hai seva ka humare mein. Tujhe pata hai jab mein ghar se bhaag gai thi aur mere pass rehne ki jagah nahi thi toh mein bhi gurudware  mein hi rehti thi.. Aur seva karti thi...

She stopped suddenly and looked at him.. She hadn't told him anything about that part of her life. He understood and gave her an assuring smile.

He grabbed her hand and pressed it firmly.

Sid: poori zindagi hai humare passs.  Sab kuch ek dusre ko baatane ke liyee... Chal..ab..

She looked at him with fondness.. How he understood her unsaid feelings.. And emotions.. Her heart filled with happiness having him beside her.

They went inside and were hit instantly with the feeling of peace. That was the thing with religious places. They felt such positive vibes. Siddharth loved the serene feeling.

They went ahead to bow down and say their prayers in front of the Holy Guru Granth Sahib. Sid looked at sana deep in praying with her eyes closed. She was so pure. .. He heard a coughing sound and instantly focused ahead.

Then they went around the guru granth sahib and were offered the kada prashad.. They sat down in the big hall listening to the divine recital.

Then they went ahead and found people preparing for the langar.

A lady was carrying a large kadhai..which seems to be heavy.. Sid went ahead to help her .he went to the kitchen with her.

when shehnaaz entered the big kitchen she found Siddharth laughing while an old lady placed a hand on his head. He had some vegetables near him and looked like he was going to chop them.
