Devaki's POV
Siddharth Sir and I were ready so we left for Pune.

It was 9 pm when we left. Siddharth Sir was driving and his driving was amazing! He was really focused on the road. I was...I was admiring him! The way he was checking left-right when emerging from a side road; the way he was stopping the car when needed; the way he was gripping the steering; the way he was changing gears...Hey Deva!!

Usually when I got somewhere, Bandana drove. So I used to talk a lot and I did the same here.

"Sir kucch boliye na" I said. He chuckled. "Kya bolu? Tum baat shuru kro me sunta hu aur zarurat ho to jawab bhi dunga" He said.

"Sir, aapki life boht hi boring h! I mean aap pichle pone ghante se drive kar rhe ho aur ek word nhi bola aapne!!" I complained. "Are to kya bolu me? Ese hi bak-bak kie jau? Koi reason hoga to bolunga na!" He replied.

"Accha listen, waha aage ek dhaaba h. Kucch khale? Pune pohonchne me time lagega" He said. I nodded.

He stopped the car and we went to the dhaaba. We started having dinner.

"Yummy!!! Matar paneer kitna accha bnaya h nhi? Bandana hoti to sab kha jaati, uska favourite h!" I said. "Ohh good! Vese me bhi khana boht accha bnata hu" Sir said. "Are waah" I said and concentrated on the food. "Chai coffee ki to baat hi mat kro!! Har type ki bna leta hu me" He said. "Baat mat kro? Kisne ki baat? Me to chup chap kha rhi hu" I thought. I smiled and nodded. "You know meri family me larkio ko kaam nhi karna padta. We respect women, ham unhe naukrani nhi samajhte" He said. "Well, that's good. Aurto ki izzat krni chahiye" I replied. He smiled. "Shaadi k baad meri family wale bahuo pe koi pabandi bhi nhi lgate, k ese kapre pehno ya vese kapre pehno" He said. "Acchi baat h. Open-minded hona chahiye" I said. He smiled again. "And you know ham Punjabi h, aur Bandana k saath rehkar tumhe to pta chal hi gaya hoga k ham Punjabis kitne caring hote h, aur hamara sense of humour bhi kitna accha hota h!" He said. I nodded and smiled.

Sir rolled his eyes. "Ok, tumhe boht hint de diye mene...lets come to the point: mujhse shaadi kroghi?" He said all of a sudden. He said that sentence in a minisecond! I was shocked. Totally shocked! I dropped the spoon of rice that I was taking to my mouth.

He was waiting for my answer and I was just looking at the plate of rice. I just didn't know what to say. It was a surprise for me...and I didn't know how to react.

The waiter came and we paid the bill. We went towards the car.

He wasn't talking and I wasn't saying a word, not even a single letter! I was really nervous. Like, I loved him from day one and even he is in love with me! He actually proposed me! It was unbelievable!!!

I was lost in my thoughts when the car suddenly stopped. Forget asking him, I didn't even have the courage to look at him! He got down and after sometime sat in the car again. It started raining, and it was heavy rain. "Tyre puncure ho gaya h. Barish ki wajah se ab to thik nhi ho paega...to I think raat yehi guzarni hogi. Me Sumedh ko text kar deta hu" Sir said. I nodded.

I know he wanted to know my answer but he wasn't asking me, so I didn't know how to say yes. I was just waiting for him to ask me.
He was still doing something on his phone. I fell asleep.

Siddharth's POV
I woke up when Sun's heat kissed my face. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. Then I remembered why was I sleeping in the car.

I saw Devaki and she reminded me of my proposal. She was sleeping innocently. "Dekho, meri neend uda k khud kese aaram se so rhi h" I thought. I called her and as usual she didn't wake up. I tapped on her cheeks and then she woke up with a jerk. "Subhah ho gey...me tyre thik kr deta hu" I said. She nodded.

I changed the tyre and then drove to Pune.

Finally we reached Sumedh's house. It was already 8 am.

Devaki was about to step out of the car when I decided to ask her once. "Devaki kal raat ka jawaab tumne diya nhi mujhe" I said. She looked at me and then lowered her eyes. "Pehli aap yeh btaiye k sote waqt aapko kharate lene ki aadat to nhi h na?" She asked. I shook my head. What kind of question was that!? "Ummm, kyu?" I asked. "Kyunk jo log kharate lete h me unke bagal me nhi so pati" She said. "Lekin tum mere bagal me..." I said confusingly. "To shaadi k baad aap kisi aur room me soenghe?" She asked and got out of the car. Finally I understood what she was trying to say. Oh God! It was a yes! She said yes! I was on could nine. She was standing out of the car. She signed me to come; I nodded. I got out of the car.

Bandana and Sumedh were waiting for us. I hugged Sumedh as I got in. "Bharat milap ho gaya ho to yaha bhi mil lo" Aunty said. I chuckled and touched her feet. We had breakfast and then Sumedh and I went to his room.

I narrated him everything. He was damn happy. He hugged me and wasn't leaving me. "Ab chod bhi de bhai, saans nhi le pa raha me. Shaadi bhi krni h mujhe pehle hi mat tapka dena!" I said. He laughed and left me.

"Ab bta, tere paas kya samachaar h?" I asked. "Samachaar? Kese samachaar?" He said looking away. "Ya tu khud ban raha h ya mujhe bna raha h!" I said. He chuckled. "Mera love guru to tu hi h, bhai kar kucch" He said. "Kya? Matlab tu sachme usse pyaar krta h?" I asked excitingly. He rolled his eyes. "Saale shuruat me nhi krta tha, tune bol bol k krva diya" He said. I chuckled. "Chal chod na. Ho gaya pyaar, yeh important h" I said. We smiled and started thinking about Sumedh's future with Bandana.
