Getting down from his car, Sidharth entered the florist shop dressed in an all black suit. He stared at the bouquet of flowers arranged on stand, when he heard a female voice from behind.

"Excuse me, Sir."

He turned around.

"May I help....(Sana's eyes widened in surprise).. You!!", She exclaimed.

"Ma'am aap? Aap yaha kya kar rahi hai?", Said Sidharth in his ever innocent tone.

"Aaa.. woh.. woh.. main.. main yaha disco karne aayi thi..", she bounces with her sarcasm after initial stumbling.

"Ji.. yaha?", Asked Sidharth with still naive tone.

"Arrgghh.. Udaas Agnihotri.. florist ki dukaan pe koyi bhi aam insaan phool lene hi toh aayega na? Yeh bhi koi puchne ki baat hai? Achcha, batao tum yaha kyu aaye ho?", She asked.

"Ji.. main bhi disco karne hi aaya tha.. pata chala yaha pe sirf phool milte hai..", he returned back her sarcasm innocently.

"Achcha? Bade aadmi bann gaye toh mere pe hi sarcasm chaalu?", She said placing her hand on her hips.

"Nahi Ma'am, aap jitna bhi badha nahi bana main. Main toh bas football team ka player hoon, par aap toh uss team ki sponsor ho.. indirectly woh team toh aapke hi paison se chalti hai..", said Sidharth.

"Achcha taarif karna choddo aur batao kiske liye phool khareedne aaye ho?", She teased wanting to see him blush.

"Woh main aapke liye hi phool lene aaya tha..", blushed Sidharth.

"M.. m.. mere liye?", She fumbled as she was taken aback.

"Woh main aapke hi ghar jaane wala tha aur aap mujhe yaha mil gayi.", Said Sidharth.

"Haan, main woh yaha phool khareedne aayi thi.. par yaha koi bechne wala dikha hi nahi.. tumhe peeche se dekha toh mujhe laga shayad tum salesman ho..", she lied badly. He looked at himself dressed in a expensive and elegant blacksuit.

"Oh!! Achcha?", He played along.

"Hmm..", she hummed nervously.

"Aap kiske liye phool khareed rahi thi?", He asked.

"Woh.. aaa.. mere restaurant mein aaj ek bade celebrity aane waale the toh maine socha main unke liye phool khareed loon.. par tum mujhe kyu phool dena chahte the?", said Sana.

"Woh.. ek minute..", he went back out to his car to get something. She looked at herself in the mirror quickly to check if she looked presentable.

"Yeh lijiye..", said Sidharth giving her an envelope. Sana turned and accepted the envelope.

"Ismein kya hai?", She asked inspecting it.

"Mere shaadi ka invitation card hai.", Sidharth blushingly smiled.

"Kya?", Sana's had shivered as she looked absolutely shocked looking at his face.

"Meri shaadi hai agle mahine.", He smiled.

"Kisse?", She asked.

"Of course, meri lucky mascot, Shehnaaz se..", he said.

"What? Mazak kar rahe ho?", She asked.

"Aapko yeh mazak kyu lag raha hai?", He asked.

"Usse? Kaise? Tum usse kabhi miley bhi ho?", Asked Sana even more shocked.

"Ofcourse mila hoon, tabhi toh hum shaadi kar rahe hai. Jitni dil ki achchi hai utni hi dikhne mein bhi sundar hai. Aap toh aise hi use simple gareeb ladki bula rahi thi.", Said Sidharth.
