Humsafar - Journey of Arranged Marriage

Chapter - 6

"Good Morning :)" Sidharth's phone pinged as soon as he woke up at 7 in the morning. He looked at the message and smiled thinking that how his phone use to ping only with work emails and messages and from today he would be getting such special messages as well.

"Good Morning Sana" he quickly replied to her text and left to bathroom to finish his morning business.

"Good Morning Mom, subah subah phone mey ghusi rehthi hai..bandh kar aur nastha karna" Sidharth greeted his mom and gave a smack to preeti on her head, snatched her phone and kept it on dining table.

"Arey wahh..morning tho aaj sach me bohoth good hai beta..bina utaye utgaya tu tho aaj..sahi hai..Sana ka asar abhi se dikhraha hai tujhpe" Rita ji spoke and gave a naughty smile to which Preeti giggled.

"Kya Mom aap bhi..aur tu..kya hehehe karrahi hai..chal jaldi jaldi khaa aur nikal college k liye" Sidharth scoffed and was engrossed in his breakfast.

After few minutes, he took out his phone from pocket and sent a quick text to Sana "Breakfast kiya?"

"Haan ji...abhi kiya..aur school k liye nikal rahi hu..aapney kiya breakfast?" she replied almost instantly.

"Abhi karraha hu..thodi der mey office k liye niklunga"  he also replied to her and once done with the breakfast moved towards his mother after grabbing his office bag and ID card, took her blessings and was about to move towards the main door when his mother told that she would be visiting mandir today with Sana's parents to talk about engagement date with pandith ji . Later both Sidharth and Preeti sat in his car by bidding Rita ji bye.

"Bhai, yaad hai na aapko aaj shaam mujhe charminar lekar jaana hai..last moment pe koi bahana math dena bhai ki yaar preeti mai thak gaya hu..aaj office mey zyada kaam hai..ya fir aaj traffic bohoth hai vagera vagera.." Preeti spoke imitating him.

"Abey ayee!!Bakwaas math kar..kab tujhe bahana diya hai maine haa? Humesha tho tujhe leke jaatha hu jaha bolthi hai vaha..bas nautanki karthi rehthi hai..shaamko pick karney aaunga aur fir seedha charminar jaayengey..khush!!"

"Bohoth!!!Thankyou bhai..mai na Sana bhabi k liye bhi kuch gift lungi dekhna" Preeti spoke excitedly to which Sidharth just gave a nod and a smile. Soon Sidharth dropped preeti to her college and then called Sana by connecting the phone to blue-tooth speaker in his car.

"Hello Sana"

"Ji..hello"

"Tum pohonch gayi school?"

"Ji nahi..abhi raasthey mey hu..aur 10 mints lagega. Aur aap..aap office reach hogaye?"
