"Haldi wala koi gaana hota hai kya?" Preeti wondered
"Ummm..." Rinki began thinking too.
"Wo kuch toh tha haldi lage ...kuch toh rang khilne types. Yaad nahi aa raha." Shefali said.
"Maine toh aisa kuch nahi suna." Kamya said, dismissively.
"Inn haatho me laga de haldi..." Hema began singing.
"Mehndi hota hai." Everyone corrected her
"Ab mai koi gaana bataungi toh wo tum aaj ki ladkiyon ko jachega bhi nahi." Phulla Bua intervened.
"Mere rang me rangne wali ... Pari ho ya ho pariyon ki raani." Swati began singing
"Ya ho meri prem kahani." All the others joined her. "Mere sawalon ka jawab do ... do na."
"Arey! Halla mat karo." Pooja di said while sitting next to Hema. "Taiji ki kamar me moch hai wo neeche haldi lagane nahi aa payengi, keh rahin thi ki jab sabka ho jaaye toh nahane se pehle Naina unke pass ho aaye. Wo wahin laga dengi. Tauji bhi isiliye neeche nahi aa rahe."
"Aur Rakesh?" Phulla Bua asked. "Usko toh aana chahiye na."
"Unka pata nahi." Pooja di said.
Phulla Bua pursed her lips and tried to control her anger.
"Rakesh Tauji ko toh Arjun Bhaiya se fursat hi nahi milti." Preeti mumbled.
"Badon ke baare me aise kuch bhi nahi bolte Preeti." Phulla Bua scolded her. "Jaa ... Naina ko neeche leke aa. Uske sasural wale aate honge haldi leke. Swati, beta tu bhi jaa."
The girls nodded and went to do as directed. On the other hand, on the bridegroom's side everything was chaotic. Sameer was sitting in the centre of their house's hall and turn by turn everyone was covering him in turmeric's paste and he wasn't liking it at all.
"Nanu!!" Sameer whined.
"Aaj toh Nanu bhi nahi bacha sakte tujhe Sonu beta!" Mamaji laughed as he rubbed his Sonu beta's cheeks with a lot of turmeric paste.
"Aur!"
"Aur lagao!"
Munna and Pandit cheered him.
"O! Rahu-Ketu! Tumhare din bhi door nahi." Nanu defended.
"Tab ki tab dekhenge Nanu" Pandit said mischievously.
"Abhi ..." Munna rubbed his palms.
"Abhi?" Nanu asked.
"Abhi toh..."
Munna bent down in front of Sameer and picked up as much of the paste he could and rubbed it all over Sameer. Pandit laughed hysterically and joined him. Sameer playfully captured Munna's neck in the fold of his arm and rubbed the paste on his cheeks.
"Teri bhi haldi aaj hi mana lete hain na." He said.
"Iski shaadi me toh abhi do mahine hain." Pandit said.
"Theek hai isko chod dete hai. Tu kaha bach ke jaayega?" Sameer told Pandit and ran after him in the hall.
Mamiji stopped Pandit from escaping and he was soon covered with turmeric too. Poonam Bhabhi and Devang Bhaiya joined the Haldi turned Holi party while the elders enjoyed their game from a distance.
"Holi hai!!" Pandit exclaimed
"Haldi! Haldi!" Munna reminded him
"Haldi hai!" He exclaimed with double the enthusiasm.
