Bandana's POV
I went to the terrace as all the girls were there for Mehndi. They were just sitting and waiting for someone. "Are yaar kiska wait kar rhe ho tum log? Shuru karo na!" I said. "Are Bandana woh Mehndi wali nhi aai, boli kucch zaruri kaam aa gaya, aur yaha kisiko mehndi lgani nhi aati" Mami said. "Bandana ko aati h...Bandana tu lgade na sabke haatho pe" Devaki said. I gave her a death glare as thete were many people and it was damn difficult for me.

I didn't have any other option than agree to what that Capuchin said.

I took almost two hours but I was still alive when I finished.

Finally it was my turn. I loved mehndi so I drew my design really very carefully. I did it on the left hand. "Kya yaar, right haath par kon lgaega? Lagta h ek hi haath se kaam chalana parega" I said. Nobody was there. Everyone went to sleep.

"Me lgadu?" I heard a voice. I turned towards the door. It was Sumedh Sir. "Aapko lgani aati h?" I asked. He nodded. "Ok...no...wait! Aapse lagwane se accha h me khud hi bakwaas sa design bnalu" I said. "Are yaar, accha design bnaunga, do to sahi" He said. "Me aapko apna haath kabhi nhi dunghi!" I said. "Me cone maang raha tha, aur rahi baat haath ki, to woh to tumhe dena hi hoga" He said. I was thinking about what he said when he held my hand and started making the design.

"Sir? Kya kar rhe ho aap? Koi ese bnata h mehndi ka design?" I asked as his face was just 5 cm from my palm. "Tum shaanti se bethi raho, baaki me dekhta hu" He said and continued. I fell asleep.

I slept for about an hour and when I woke up, he was done. It was a damn good design! Even better than what I did. "Sir!! This is just...I mean...kaha se seekha aapne?" I asked. He chuckled. "Woh chodo, abhi khana khao" He said signing towards the plate of food. "Naah, actually me khilata hu" He said. "Sir its ok, mujhe bhookh nhi h" I said.

"Bandana I know tumne shaam se kucch nhi khaya aur kaam kie jaa rhi ho...chalo khao abhi chup chap" He said sweetly. I shook my head. "Mujhe gussa mat dilao...chalo khao" He said. I shook my head again. "Tumhare paas do options h: ya to khana khao, ya fir..." He said gritting his teeth. "Sir mujhe nhi khana h!" I said annoingly. "Khati ho ya kaan k neeche lgau ek kheench k?" He said. How mean!!! I widened my eyes and opened my mouth. He started feeding me. I was eating angrily, not saying a single word.

"Ok, so last nivala" He said and took his hand to my mouth. I bit his fingers, accidentally. He screamed in pain. "Sir!! Dikhaiye na! Sir please, dikhaiye to sahi" I said. "Rehne do, tumhari mehndi kharab ho jaegi" He said. Damn! He was angry! He thought I purposely bit his fingers. He wasn't even showing them. I was worried. He made me drink the water. "Me plates neeche kitchen me rakh k aata hu" He said. I nodded. I was really sad. Because of me he got hurt! "Haye Rabba! Me bhi jhalli hu! Dheere se nhi kha sakti thi?" I thought.

He stopped at the door and turned. "By the way, mujhe lagi nhi thi to apne aap ko man hi man me galiya mat dena. And yes apna pyaar dikhane k lie thanks" He said and winked at me.

A smile came on face.

We slept.

The next day when I woke up, I saw my mehndi and smiled as it was really nice and even the colour was dark.

I went downstairs and got fresh. I was having my breakfast when Sumedh Sir came to me. "Kya baat h? Aaj kal har jagah mera hi naam h, dil pe to tha hi ab haatho me bhi? Waah!" He whispered in my ear. Then he winked and smirked. I understood. I immediately looked at my palms. I searched every millimeter and finally found the 'S'.

I took my hand infront of my eyes. "Kya h yeh?" I asked looking at him. "Umm, 'S' for Sumedh!!" He said excitingly like a kid. "Woh to mujhe bhi pta h!" I said. "Ok then, 'S' for Sumedh tumhara hone wala husband!!" He said. I controlled my smile.

Sumedh's POV
Mami came. "Are tum dono yaha gappe lada rhe ho? Waha Gurudware 'Rooh hafza' pilana h sabko...jao tum dono" She said. "Woh kyu pilana h?" I asked. "Jese langar lagta h vese hi rooh hafza pilaya jaata h garmi me...ab sawal mat kro, Bandana ko sab pta h ise leke jao" She said and went.

We were about to leave when Devaki came with a guy. The guy was holding a food container with some jalebis. He accindetally dropped the food container and in the next moment all the jalebis were on Bandana's hands and arms.

We three looked at her. She looked at her hands. "FITTEH MUH TERA!!" Bandana cursed him in her proper Punjabi accent. "Marjane yeh aankhe kis lie di h Rabb ne?" She yelled. I burst in a laughter listening to the curse and her accent. She went to wash her hands.

"Yeh itna gussa kabse krne lgi?" I asked Devaki. "Hamesha se esi hi h yeh...ab Gurukul me thodi gussa kregi. But yes, she's really short-tempered. Jab gussa hoti h tab to bhagwaan hi bachae isse" Devaki explained. "Yaar me kese sambhalunga ise!?" I said. She chuckled. Bandana came and we two left for Gurudwara.

"Ehmm, Sir aapse kucch...kucch kehna tha" Bandana said. "What? Matlab...finally!!" I said excitingly. "Woh nhi" She said. "Ohh...to fir?" I asked disappointingly. "Woh, Gurudware poora pind aega rooh hafza peene...kucch lrkia bhi. Woh bilkul bhi acchi nhi h, to aap unse door rehna!" She commanded. I smirked. "Kyu?" I asked. "Me keh rahi hu is lie!" She said. "Khud mujhe apne paas aane nhi deti, kisi aur ka mere saath hona tumse bardasht nhi hota...chahti kya ho???" I said smiling and holding her shoulders.

"Kucch nhi! Bas aap unse door rahoge!" She said and went inside the Gurudwara.

We two started making rooh hafza.

When it was ready we versed it in glasses and waited for people. They started coming and we offered them the cool rooh hafza.

We were doing that from almost two hours and then finally a group of girls came. I gave a nudge to Bandana and pointed towards the group. She gave me a death glare.
