"Kitne dusht ho aap! Hamare liye aayi thi ye saari mithaiyaan... aur aap hi khaaye ja rahe ho. Hum Amma ko bol denge!"
"Bol de. Main darta hoon kya?"
Raman continued eating the sweets without the slightest bit of fear, deliberately enjoying every single one just to annoy her.
Sita's eyes slowly filled with tears.
"Ro le, ro le... main nahi chhodunga tere liye. Ye sab main laya hoon aur main hi khaunga."
Sita sniffled, trying her best not to cry.
"H-haan... kha... kha lo. M-mujhe nahi chahiye."
Raman's hand stopped.
"Sita..." he called softly.
She looked at him through her teary eyes.
"Itni jaldi maan gayi? Mujhe laga ladai karegi."
Sita immediately looked away.
"J-jao... main baat nahi karti."
Raman stared at her for a moment before sighing.
"Achha chal... mithaiyaan aadhi-aadhi kar lete hain. Dekh toh, kitni saari hain."
"N-nahi chahiye... aap hi khao."
"Tu zidd bahut karti hai."
He gathered the sweets together and pushed them toward her.
"Achha chal, ye saari rakh le. Mere ghar mein bahut hain. Main aur Baba toh tere liye hi lekar aaye the, Sita."
She looked at him suspiciously.
"Sachhi?"
Raman nodded, trying not to smile.
"Main toh bas chidha raha tha."
Sita's little face brightened.
"Sachi mein na... phir wapas toh nahi loge na?"
Raman smiled.
"Arey baba, nahi loonga. Teri kasam."
And finally, Sita smiled.
A small, innocent smile.
Neither of them knew that this silly little fight over a box of sweets would become one of the countless memories tying their lives together.
Because Raman Bhardvaj and Sita Kashyap had been destined for each other long before they were old enough to understand what *destiny* meant.
