I was in the kitchen working with maa when the sound of dhol came from outside.

We came outside to see and here Dhruv and one other guy were playing dhol and Nidhi didi was sitting on Dhruv's Dhol dancing and swaying to the beats.

Dhruv really loves her a lot. In most of the conversations I am the one talking and he is the one listening to me but whenever he tells me something, it has to have a mention of Nidhi didi.

"Bas bas Dhruv, Utaro ab usse chut lag jayegi" maa told Dhruv.

(enough dhruv, put her down or else you will hurt her or yourself)

Dhruv and that guy place the drums down and that guy (I guess his name is rishi) touches maa's feet and then they settle on the couch.

"Aur Rishi beta kaise chal raha hai sab, abhi bhi padhai chal rahi hai" 

(how's everything going rishi)

"Nahi aunty, college toh khatam hogaya, ab job chal rahi hai" he replied

(College has finished aunty, I am working now)



"Toh kaha job kar rahe ho" mom asked sitting on the other couch

(where are you working?)



I sat beside Dhruv on the arm rest

"Abhi toh yahi Delhi mai hi ek law firm mai, but kuch time mai banglore jaane ka plan hai" he continued

(Right now, I am working in Delhi only at a law firm, but after a while, I am planning to go to Banglore)

"Job wob toh theek hai puttarji, ladki wadki dhundhi hai tumne" Nidhi didi's mom came and asked rishi

(Job is fine son, what is your perspective on marriage)

He stood up and touched her feet then sat back and answered

"Abhi nahi taiji, abhi umar hi kya hai meri"

(Not right now aunty, I am too young for that)



"Aree, fir bhi koi ladki pasand toh aayi hogi"

(Still, you must have found a girl)



"Nahi taiji, aur waise bhi mai yeh love shove mai believe nahi karta, mera toh manna hai rab ne sab ki jodiya bana rakhi hai, meri bhi bana rakhi hogi, jab usse milna likha hoga toh rab milwa bhi denge aur jodi ko shaadi ke bandhan mai baandh bhi denge"

(No, and I believe god has made someone for everyone so I will wait till I find that someone)

"Par agar tu sabko mana hi karta rahega toh apni jodidar se milege kaise"
