It was time of bidaai.. Khushi's eyes were tearing up..

She hugged her father and broke down..

Everyone was teary eyed watching the scene..

Shristi niki deba sammy .. They all went gave khushi a tight hug..

" Ab hasle pagal.. " Shristi said..

Ahana and ritika also came and hugged

" Don't make her cry hear after.. " Virat said to shivin

" Never.. " Shivin said

" Soooo.. Now you are officially our bhabhi.. Ab yeh rona bandh karo.. Let's click a selfie.. " Hardik grinned and took a selfie

Since her reception will be in Bangalore .. Shivin and khushi and shivin's parents left for airport after changing wedding outfits..

Shivin and khushi took blessings of khushi's parents and left for the airport..

It was 12:30 .. All the girls and boys except virat rohit ahana and ritika..were relaxing in the hotel lawn..

" Such a hectic day.. " Deba huffed

" True.. Thakk gayi main.. " Niki said

" Guys.. Let's go out.. " Shristi said out of nowhere..

" Kya..? Seriously?? Matlab seriously?? Raat k 1 baaje?? " Sammy said making face

" Re yaar.. Dekh kal hume bhi bangalore laut na pedega.. Iss baar kolkata aayi magar ghum hi nahi paayi.. Itna short period ke liye aayi.. Isliye.. Aaj ka raat hi sirf time hai.. Chal na.. Mazaa ayega.. Tu bhi keh rahi thi .. Tujhe kolkata ghumna hai pura.. " Shristi tried convenience her

" I am just too tired " Sammy said

" Okay.. Don't.. Anyone.. ??" She asked

" Nope.. " Rahul, mayank, rishabh said

" Same answer.. " Yuzi hardik kuldeep said

" Fine.. I will go on a solo tour " Shristi said and got up ..

" Ayee.. I will come.. " Shreyas said

" That's like a good boy..hi five " Shristi grinned and hi fived with him..

" Aren't you tired??? " Rahul asked raising his eyebrow..

" Yeahh I am.. But you guys know na.. How much I love going out like this.. Aur waise when we kolkata for playing matches.. When don't really get this opportunity.. So... " Shreyas said

" Accha toh matlab sirf yahi reason hai?? Sirf yahi?? Hai na? " Mayank said teasingly..

" Haa.. Haaa.. " Shreyas eyed him..

" Haa thik hai thik hai.. Waise sambhal ke.. Kahi kho maat janaa... " Hardik laughed..

" Seriously.. " Shristi sighed..

" Ho hi sakta hai.. Aise raat ko.. Ek ladka aur ek ladki nikal rehe hai.. Kyaa pata kya ho jaaye!! " Kuldeep said

" So cliche... " Shristi said..

" Anyways.. Ready hona hai.. Chalo chalo.. " Shristi said to shreyas

" Ek saath ready hona hai?? " Niki asked..

" Very funny.. " Shreyas said sarcastically..

( you can watch them for some reference..believe me you will love this videos..)

After some 15 mins shreyas and shristi met..

" Chalein?? " Shreyas asked

" Yes.. " Shristi said

Hotel management arranged a car for them ...

" Accha kaha hai madam?? " Shreyas asked shristi..

" Pehle.. Toh chaai peena hai.. And for that we will go to an eating house nearby.. Puri raat khula rehta hai.. " Shristi said

" Itni raat ko chaai? Kaun peeta hai..??" Shreyas was surprised.

" Sab peete hai.. " Shristi said

They went to " balwant singh eating house "

(This stall is actually some 90 or 95 years old.. Like they are running this eating house generation wise)

" This is very famous eating house.. " Shristi said

" Do chaai..  " Shristi ordered

" Here it is ... " Shristi handed one cup to shreyas..

Shreyas took a sip and said

" It is actually amazing! "

" I told you.. " Shristi said sipping tea..

" Aise kabhi nikle nahi na?? " Shristi asked

" We don't chance.. Still if it's mumbai.. I do go out.. But in any other state we normally just come to play matches. Aur tab toh ekdum strict routine hota hai.. " Shreyas said

" Frustation nahi hota.. Aise humesha strict routine follow karne main.. Matlab kabhi toh mann hota hoga na aise bas normal zindagi jeene ka.. " Shristi asked

" Ha hota hai.. But you know I am used with it.. Aur.. I am not virat bhai or rohit bhai.. So it's still chill.. Matlab I still can go out without bouncers and all " Shreyas smiled..

" Their life is just crazy na.. Matlab everyone wants to meet them.. Even I was one of them.. " Shristi chuckled..

" They deserve all the love " Shreyas said

" Acchaaa ab bohot baatein ho gayi.. Let's go to next destination.. " Shristi said dumping the cup in dustbin

Abhi toh 2:30 .. So let's go to Howrah Bridge .. Aur waha se kumaartuli hokar back to hotel "

" Howrah bridge main kya karenge??" Shreyas was confused..

" Re.. Have you ever seen Howrah bridge during dawn?? It looks ethereal.. " Shristi said

They drove to Howrah bridge..

It was 3:30 in the morning.. They were sitting on a bench which were kept on the footpaths

" You know.. Eden Gardens is not just 25 mins away from here.. " Shristi said

" Really.. Whenever we went to eden we never came across Howrah bridge... " Shreyas said

" Yeah.. Because you guys travel through flights and mostly stay in ITC.. So that's on a different side of the city " Shristi said

" I see... Waise this feels good.. Matlab aise baithe rehna without any chaos " Shreyas said while looking at river GANGA flowing below..

" Abhi bas subha hone waali na.. Isliye it's so calm.. Otherwise this is one of busiest road.. Main Chaos starts from 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning.. " Shristi said

" You are just increasing my G.K " Shreyas laughed..

Shristi chuckled listening to that..

" It looks so beautiful na.. I love this view.. " Shristi said..

" Hmmm.. You are right.. I am loving this.. Jaane ka mann hi nahi kar raha yaha se.. " He said

(This picture is kinda perfect presentation of dawn.. Howrah bridge looks like this during dawn..this bridge is busiest hanging bridge also the sixth longest bridge of the world ) ...

" I can spend my whole day sitting here.. But agar logo ko pata chala that Shreyas Iyer is here then people will go crazy.. " Shristi laughed..

" Yeah yeah.. That's true.. Nahi nahi.. Chalo chalo " Shreyas said getting up from the bench..

(Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) is a traditional potters’ quarter in northern . This city is renowned for its sculpting prowess, which not only manufactures clay idols for various festivals but also regularly exports them.)

" So basically they all are making idols from generation.. " Shristi said

" Waise durga puja kab hai?? " Shreyas asked

" October.. " Shristi said

" And it's April.. Abhi se bana rahe hai.. " Shreyas was a bit shocked

" They need to export idols abroad.. So they start it from now only " Shristi said..

They clicked some pictures and then drove back to hotel..

" This night will be memorable. . . Always.. " Shreyas said

" You should thank me for this.. " Shristi chuckled

" Yeah yeah.. Thank you shristi " Shreyas said..

" Hehe.. Pleasure is all mine " Shristi laughed..

...

One more fact..

To make  durga idols in kumortuli.. A little amount of soil is brought from some sex worker's house.. That's a mandatory ritual.. This ritual is maintained to represent the fact that everyone has a right in maa durga..

Well this chapter is kind of a self gift!! I just wanted to write something regarding my city..
