"Munna, tera Swati se koi jhagda hua hai kya?" Sameer asked with a tensed expression.
"Mera kyon jhagda hoga? Main kabhi ladta hi nahi usse." Munna again gave a matter of fact reply.
"Ladega toh tab jab baat karega." Pandit muttered under his breath, his words only meant for Sameer's ears who was standing in front of him.
"Jhagda nahi hua toh fir Swati aisa kyon kar rahi hai?" Sameer frowned, ignoring Pandit's remark.
"Kya kar rahi hai?" Though Munna appeared confused, he did not show as much concern as his friends expected.
Sameer slumped on the sofa next to him, "Munna, Swati Udaipur jaa rahi hai... abhi usne Naina ko phone karke bataya."
Munna furrowed his brows, trying to remember, then gave a wide smile, "Haan, uski mausi rehti hain wahan... milne jaa rahi hogi... achhi baat hai... shaadi se pehle sab rishtedaron se mil le."
Sameer looked at him in silence for a few seconds, then spoke up in a solemn voice, "Woh ek saal ke liye jaa rahi hai."
"Kyaaa?" Munna stood up in shock.
Pandit and Sameer kept on looking at him.
Munna stared from one to another totally confounded, "Ek saal ke liye kaise jaa sakti hai? Hamari shaadi mein do mahine bhi nahi bache."
Sameer stood up to face him, looking straight into his eyes, "Usne kaha hai woh abhi shaadi ke liye taiyar nahi hai... wahan ek saal ka designing ka course karna chahti hai... woh ghar pe baith ke saari umr nahi guzarna chahti... usne kaha hai usse kaam karna hai... uske papa baat karne jayenge tere ghar shaam ko."
"Pagal ho gayi hai kya? Yeh course ka fitoor kahan se chad gaya uske dimaag mein... aur kya zaroorat hai koi course wourse karne ki... ho rahi hai na shaadi... aaram se ghar baithe aur sabka khyal rakhe... aise shaadi ko beech mein latka ke kaise jaa sakti hai... main kya yahan baith ke uska intezar karunga?" Munna burst out furiously.
"Tujhe intezar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai... woh shaadi beech mein latka ke nahi, tod ke jaa rahi hai... Naina bata rahi thi ki usne kaha hai tu chahe toh kisi aur se shaadi kar sakta hai... kyonki ek saal tak rukna shayad tujhe manzoor na ho." Sameer held his shoulders.
Sameer's support could not keep him upright. Munna slumped on the floor, his mouth open.
"Munna, Munna, neeche kyon baith raha hai, bhai... sofe pe baith... chal uth." Pandit jumped to help Sameer pick up a dazed and shocked Munna.
Together, they dragged him to the seat.
"Swati... Swati... mujhe chod ke kaise... kaise jaa sakti hai?" He mumbled, barely coherent.
"Munna, usne toh kaha ki tujhe iss baat se khaas farq nahi padna chahiye... waise bhi tum dono mein koi zyada baat hoti nahi hai... aur shaadi karke ghar sambhalne ke liye tujhe usse behtar ladki milni chahiye... usse toh kuch zyada ghar ke kaam aate bhi nahi." Sameer kept an arm around his shoulder.
Munna turned sharply towards him, his eyes blank. Sameer thought that maybe he didn't understand what he had said. Next moment Munna burst into tears, falling on Sameer's shoulders.
"Ro mat yaar, aise bachhon jaise rone se kya hoga... sunn toh... aakhir itna bada faisla kaise le liye Swati ne? Usne pehle tujhe kuch bola nahi aur aaj achanak shaadi hi tod rahi hai." Sameer consoled him.
"Yeh koi baat hui? Aise kaise keh diya hamare bhai se shaadi nahi karegi... arre, koi khel hai kya ki pause kar ke bahar nikal gaye... main bata raha hun Munna, uska naam Swati nahi Swarthi hona chahiye tha." Pandit loudly showed his anger, speaking close to Munna's ear so he doesn't miss out a single word.
