"Mama..."
"Haan bachche"
Mehek enterd her mother's room and straightaway climbed the bed and put her head in her lap
"Kya huwa" Sherbano asked caressing her hair
"Maine bahut socha shaadi ke baare me.....kabhi lagta hai Baan mere best friend ke sath mera husband ban jayega toh kitna achha hoga.....koi dar nahin rahega kisi bhi baat ke liye judge kiye jaane ka....I am an open book to him toh na samjhe jaane wala dar bhi khatma ho jata hai....par"
Sherbano kissed her head hinting her to continue
"Phir mujhe lagta hai husband-wife ka relationship toh alag hota hai....kya humaare beech kabhi koi tension ho gayi ya kuch problems aa gayin toh mai apne husband ke sath sath apne best friend ko bhi kho dungi"
"Beta.....future kisi ne nahin dekha hai..haan ye achi baat ke liye ki koi bhi decision lete waqt aage ka sochein lekin hum prejudice bhi toh nahin ho sakte na. Hone ko ye bhi ho sakta hai ki tum dono best friends se best couple bhi ban jao. Beta, jab bhi aap kisi ka haath thaamte ho nikkah me toh kahin na kahin aap ek leap of faith lete ho ek positive soch ke saath. Zindagi bahut unpredictable hai beta aur isme bane rehne ke liye aap me situation se ladne ki himmat honi chahiye.
Agar tum kisi se aur shaadi karte ho, ye dar usme bhi rahega....aur jahan tak best friend ki baat hai toh wo dost hi kya jo aapko takleef de"
"Mere hisaab se toh agar do best friends agar shaadi ke baad bhi best friends hain toh unse acha couple duniya me ho hi nahin sakta......." Sherbano chuckled and pulled Mehek's cheeks
"Hmmm...toh here all I need is to take a leap of faith....." Mehek smiled
"Hmm...baaki Allah ki marzi..Allah sab achha karenge" Sherbano patted her cheek
==========================
"Arre Moti ... tune shaadi ke liye haan bhi kar di aur mujhe phone tak nahin kiya"
Mehek shut her ear hearing the loud voice
"Shaadi tune propose ki thi jo tujhe bataun"
"Tameez se baat karo hone wale shohar se baat kar rahi ho"
"Jooti meri........"
"Hahahahaha"
"Mote hasna band kar"
"Waise shaadi ki date ek mahine ki baad ki nikli hai...kuch der pehle live session chal raha tha neeche hall me........tumhare Farhaan bhai ne mujhe bahut tang kiya..baap re lag raha tha UPSC ka interview le rahe hain"
"Ab Ex Professor hain mere bhaijaan.....aadat chhute nahin chhut ti" Mehek chuckled
"Achha wo sab chhod mujhe Mama ke birthday ke liye gift lena hai..kya lun"
"Baan please phir se wahi design ke bangles utha ke mat de diyo Aunty ko......mai abhi ghar ke paas waale mall me hi hun .. aa sakta hai to aaja"
"Hmm aadhe ghante me pahuchta hun"
Half an hour later, Abaan joined Mehek who had already chosen the best gift for her prospective mother in law.
"Chal Pizza uda kar aate hain" Abaan said pulling towards a cafe
"Nahin..mai diet par hun"
"Hawwww...kab kyun kaise" Abaan's eyes were wide like saucers
"Shaadi par lagna chahiye na Langoor ko Hoor mil gayi" Mehek held her head high
"Ha ha ha....aur ek aisa ganda PJ maara.. yahin par chhod kar chala jaana hai maine.." Abaan rolled his eyes and went to place his order
Receiving the order after sometime, Abaan came on the table with two pizza boxes and coke.
