Still Holding On (EDKV 1) [Completed]

Epilogue ❤️

Vakratund mahakay, suryakoti samaprabha,

Nirvighnam kurumedeva, sarvakaryeshu sarvada.

The chanting of the mantras could be heard from a distance of the Lord Shiva temple in Delhi.

"Arre bhai, ye phool teri shaadi me nahi, meri bhai ki shaadi me lgane hai. Jaldi jaldi haath chala. Aur ha, ye phoolo ki ladiyan sahi se lga dena mandir ke upar, aur do gulab ki malayein andar Mahadev aur Parvati ji pr chada aana. Ab kya muhurat nikalu kaam krane ka, jaldi ja!" An over excited yet over confused voice of Pushkar could be heard. Why not, when his childhood inspirational pair are gonna tie in a sacred bond today. He was instructing the whole clan who had arrived to decorate the temple, yet getting confused everytime he was assigned an additional task.

"Pushkar! Mera makeup zyada loud to nahi lag raha na?" Vandy's chirpy voice made him smack his head.

"Bhabhs, aapki awaz se km loud hai. Ab please mujhe zara decorations dekhne dijiye." He, without waiting for response, went towards the worker to direct him his work leaving Vandy with her mouth wide-opened.

"Pushkar puttar, ye bta, wo khane me kachori aur samose to rkhwa diye na, aur ha paneer me aur dal me variety bhi, aur sun wo gajar ka halwa zara.." Yes, guessed it right. It was our ever- foodie Lalaji asking Pushkar for the food menu as if he was to marry.

"Papa, yaha mandap ka kaam krana hai aur aapko khane ki padi hai? Acha ek kaam kro, aap na yaha ye mandap me panditji ko jo saman chaiye wo lake do, main zara bhaiya ko dekh aau" Again, without waiting for a response, Pushkar tried to go to Shravan's room which was in the guest house near the temple. The keyword being  tried.

"Pushkar puttar, ye meri sari ka rang sahi hai na? Wo main soch rahi thi, thoda normal hi rahu, theek hai na?" Asked Kamini who was already loaded with tons of makeup.

"Arre mumma, Sumo bhi aapke saamne feeki lagegi. Ab zara main bhai ke paas hoke aata hu." Pushkar said hurriedly and went towards the guest house.

"Pushkar! Wo andar Nirmala ne gifts taiyar kiye hain, zara tum unhe mandir me rkhwa do. Main zara pandit ji se puch ke aata hu kitne bje ka muhurat hai." Can Pushkar deny his sir for anything? Hell No! He went to Nirmala with tired steps and kept all the gifts in the temple, finally going towards Shravan's room.

"Pushkar..zara" Varun tried to say something.

"BASSS!! Pushkar na ho gya, bandar ka bachha ho gya. Ek kartab dikha, kbhi dusra kartab dikha. Koi robot nahi hu. Tabse Shravan bhaiya ke kmre me jane ki koshish kr rha hu pr aap log jane hi nhi de rhe. Arre bhai smjho, mujhe untk pahochna padega, warna agar wo ache ni lge to Sumo mujhe sach ka bandar bnake chhodegi." Without listening anymore, he went towards Shravan's room.

"Kamaal hai! M bhi to Shravan ke room me jane ki hi bol rha tha. Lgta hai shaadi ke kaam kra kra ke ise khud bhi shaadi ka mann ho chala h. Hmm.." Varun murmured, shrugged his shoulders and then went outside.

Finally Pushkar was in Shravan's room but not for helping, for the purpose of resting. Here Shravan was murmuring in nervousness, searching for one thing or the other, and Pushkar was lying on bed with a sweet smile, hands behind the head.

Shravan kicked him due to which he fell on the floor screaming "Ouuuu"

"Kya bhaiya, ek to aapke shaadi ki itni taiyariyan krwa raha hu, aur aap ho ki mujhe maar rhe ho. Kuch to sharam kro, warna pura badla liya jaega."

"Acha? Kya krega tu? Sumo ko bhagake le jaega?" Shravan asked irritatingly.

"Nahi nahi, uss defective piece ko to aap hi sambhalo. Mujhe usko bhagake apni zindagi barbad krne ka koi shauk nahi hai." Pushkar said with hands joined and Shravan stifled a laugh asking "K..Kyu?"
