Next morning Preeti came in their room and saw Naina and Swati sleeping peacefully till now... she jerked them both saying, "yeh dekho... jiski shaadi hai voh toh gadhe ghode bech kar so rahi hai... koi chinta hi nahin isko toh.... aur dusri jo roj subah murge ki baang se bhi pehle uth jaati hai, voh bhi sapno mein khoyi huyi hai..." 

They both sits back smiled on her banters, "bas ab tu shuru ho ja subah subah.. kitni achchhi neend aa rahi thi, utha diya.. vaise hi itni raat ko der se soye the...." they came back getting freshen up, till then Priya gets tea and snacks for them in room itself, "Swati teri mummy ne kaha hai ki yahin naashta kar lo aur jaldi se haldi ke liye taiyar ho ja.. mahurat ek ghante baad ka hai.."

They all were enjoying their tea when Preeti pulled Naina's hand, "yeh kya hai... aisa lag raha hai ki kisi chuhe ne mehandi ke paer se tere haath par catwalk ki ho..... mujhse bolti... isase achchha mehandi toh mein hi laga deti... yeh kya kar liya tu ne.." 

Swati burst into laughter teasing to Naina.. "Preeti tu nahin samjhegi... yeh to sajna ka pyaar hai apni sajni ke liye... kisi ne itne pyaar se mehndi lagayi hai aur tu bhi na... ab Sameer jaise hero ko tu chuha kah rahi hai, very bad.....hai na Naina... dekh dekh mehndi ki tarah kisi ke gaal bhi poore laal ho gaye hai.." 

Naina hit on her arm, "sharam kar kuchh bhi bolti hai... kal puchhenge tujhse ki Munna ke naam se kaise tu bhi sharam se laal hoti hai... tab dekhna awaaj hi nahin nikalegi... vaise Swati yaad hai na hamara promise ki hum mein se jiski shaadi bhi sabse pehle hogi voh dusre ko sab batayega ki kya kya hua shaadi ke baad..." Naina said excitedly reminding their promises between the besties...

Swati blushed hard, hiding her face in her palms.. all giggled and keep teasing her when Shefali came in with one of Swati's cousin elder sister who recently got married... she said smiling to Swati "arey kya ho raha hai.. Swati tu itna kyun sharma rahi hai... ab chhod de yeh sharmana.. aaj raat Munna tujhe nahin chhodne wala... achchha sun tu ne sab samaan rakh liya hai na apna.. nighty vagerah... aur haan sun raat ko jyaada shor mat karna.. vahaan saare guest honge ghar mein... jara bhi awaaj huyi toh sochenge kaisi nalayak bahu hai... dard ho toh bhi kuchh mat kehna, baaki sab Munna hai na, sambhal lega...vaise bhi tujhse itna pyaar karta hai..."

Swati nodded in yes while Naina Preeti looked her confusingly, "Nighty kyun... tu toh night suit pehanati hai na.. tujhe neend kaise aayegi nighty mein.... aur didi yeh shor kyun karegi raat mein.... baat karni bhi hogi toh aaraam se hi karegi na, ismein kya samjhana... bohot samajhdaar hai hamari Saheli..." Preeti said praising her friend..

Naina too gets full confused, "arey aur dard kyun hoga didi... ab Munna isse zameen par thode hi na sulayega jo kamar mein dard ho.. maine dekha hai uska ghar.... bohot sundar aur bada bed hai usake kamre mein.. aap chinta mat karo, hamara dost isko jara bhi takleef nahin hone dega..."

Swati too agreed with Preeti Naina and says confidently, "haan didi, aur vaise bhi aaj tak sab kuchh mein hi sambhalti aayi hun... Munna ko toh kuchh nahin pata.. aap dekhna iss baar bhi mein hi sambhalungi... voh toh buddhu hai poora... bandar kahin ka..." her elder sister looked all of them shockingly with wide eyes and about to say something when Shefali came to their room, "arey Naina Preeti, jara chalo mere saath, tumhari Chachi bula rahi hai tum donon ko..." they both left with Shefali to meet Chachi...

They came back after some time and found Swati was sitting there all lost, tensed with pale face.. seeing her Preeti laughed, "oh madam, kya subah subah Munna ki shakal dekh li jo aise shock lag gaya hai tujhe.." 

Naina hit on her arm, "Preeti tu bakwaas bandh kar.. dekh kitni ghabrayi huyi hai yeh... kya hua Swati.. teri tabiyat toh theek hai na.." 

Swati looked at her elder sister who smiled, left room after patted on her back, "samajh aa gaya na... bas ab dhyaan rakhna.. aur darne ki koi jarurat nahin hai..." 

Naina Preeti asked her repeatedly but she was not even in a position to utter a word, completely lost... then only Priya came to call them outside to start the ritual..

At boys' side, they had good fun time playing with haldi... all filled Munna completely in yellow color, he frowned, "yaar kya bhoot bana diya tumne... Swati ne dekh liya toh dar ke maare cheekh nikal jayegi usaki... jaise movie mein chillayi thi..." 

Rohan said slowly only audible to boys, "voh toh vaise bhi nikalane hi wali hai, agar kahin raat mein achanak tujhe dekh liya toh kahin darr ke behosh hi na ho jaaye.." Pandit said, "aur haan agar tere kharrate sun liye toh pakka laat maar ke kamre se baahar phenk degi tujhe..."

Sameer too teased him more, "koi baat nahin, vaise bhi tujhe toh aadat hai usase daant khaane ki, pitne ki.... aur haan voh yaad hai horror movie, kaise naakhoon chubhaye the usane... koi nahin tu sab sambhal lega... mujhe tujh par poooooooora vishawa hai mere veer jawaan.." 

All three bursts into laughter maing fun of him, when Munna said irritatingly, "saalon kaise dost ho.. kya himmat bada rahe ho meri.... ek toh pehle hi darr lag raha hai ki kaise uss sherni ko sambhalunga aur us par tum log...."

Sameer put his hand on his shoulder making fun of him, "tu sambhalega ... hmmm lagta nahin.." 

Rohan, "beta dhyaan rakh.. aaj ke baad teri nakel Swati ke haathon mein hogi... jo kahe chup chap se maan lena.. samjha..." they all ended up with a cute fight putting haldi on each other...

Munna's mother handed a haldi bowl to Sameer, "beta yeh haldi Swati ki mummy ko de aana.. Swati ko isi mein se haldi lagegi.. jaldi jaao mahurat ho raha hai" 

Munna stood and came forward smilingly, "haan haan chalo abhi de aate hai... itna sa toh kaam hai..." all shouted on him together, "nahin... tu nahin sirf hum jaayenge...." all three teased him and left to girls' side leaving him alone in grumpy face, "sab chal diye apni aashiqui karne mujhe akela chhod kar... shaadi meri hai aur maje yeh loot rahe hai..."

All girls came out from room and make her sit on chowki, her mother came near, blessed & kissing her forehead... "bas ab jaldi se haldi aa jaaye toh rasam shuru kare.." then only Sameer, Rohan, Pandit & Arjun entered in hall with haldi bowl... all got mesmerized seeing their girls leaving them blushing hard... 

Sameer handed over the bowl to Swati's mother and stood near Naina.. she smiled, "kya baat hai... aaj toh poore haldi mein range huye ho.. lagta hai khoob masti ki hai tumne Munna ke saath.." he slowly hold her hand hiding from all others standing there and rub it with his hands, "lo ab tum bhi rang gayi mere rang mein.." she slowly lift her hand, see her palm colored in yellow with haldi...

She smiled and looked back at him when Bela called her, "arey Naina chal aaja, tu bhi laga de Swati ko haldi.." she went and put haldi on Swati's cheeks both side with her fingers, followed by Preeti, Priya and Shefali too and all starts playing with haldi spread on her face completely... 

Naina came back and stand with Sameer, she too hold his hand softly and rub her hand on his hand.. "lo ab tum bhi mere rang mein rang gaye.." they both see their palms in yellow... the crimson color of their love shown on their cheeks...

Rohan came, put his hand on Sameer's shoulder, "bhai chale agar aapki yeh chhup chhup kar ek dusre ko haldi lagane ki rasam ho gayi ho toh.." he winked making them both feel shy

Sameer hit on his head irritatingly, "tujhe koi kaam nahin hai, bas har waqt humein hi dekhta rehta hai...." then only Preeti came running to him and pour all haldi on his head, he starts chasing her whereas Priya & Pandit were also running after each other...

Arjun went near Shefali and stand beside her seeing her laughing on Preeti and Priya... she turned to him, "Arjun sach tumhari behen bohot shaitan hai.. dekho kaise Rohan aur Pandit ko poora haldi se nehla diya.." he smiled and said slowly, "vaise tum chaho toh tum bhi mujhe laga sakti ho... mein bura nahin maanunga.." she feels his intense gaze on her and gets shy... she looked at her hand filled with haldi, slowly rubbed it on his cheeks and run away from there all blushed.. he touched his cheeks and smiled, noticed by Sameer...

All dispersed in their rooms to take bath and gets ready for marriage... Naina came out from washroom wiping her hairs when saw Swati standing near window all lost... she went near her and jerked her.. "kya hua Swati, tu itni pareshaan kyun hai... dekh mujhe pata hai aaj teri shaadi hai, aunty uncle se bichhadane ka dukh toh hoga hi par tu jaanti hai Munna ko itne saalon se.. voh har kadam par tere saath rahega... tu chinta mat kar, aur aaj ke din aise udaas rahegi toh saara glow khatam ho jayega tere chehre se"... she giggled, "phir mat kehna ki photos kharaab aayi.."

Swati smiled a bit but still seems tensed... she hold her hand tightly nervously, "Naina yaar bohot darr lag raha hai... mein aur Munna bachpan se dost hai par kabhi aaj tak haath pakadne aur ek do baar gaal par kiss karne se jyaada kuchh nahin kiya... par ab jo yeh sab... mujhse nahin hoga... par mana kaise karungi, kuchh samajh nahin aa raha yaar... upar se didi kaah rahi hai ki Munna ko kuchh mana mat karna, jo kare karne dena..."

Naina looked at her all confused, "haan toh kiss hi toh karni hai, kar lena... ab usake aage ka kya matlab... tu bhi na... jyaada se jyaada voh movies ki tarah lips par kiss maangega toh karne dena.. bas aur so jaana usake baad.. ismein itna kya darna.." 

Swati gets more tensed.. "Naina saari tension usake baad ki hi toh hai... vahi toh nahin samajh aa raha..."

Naina asked confusingly, "usake baad... kya matlab usake baad.. aur kuchh bhi hai kya... khul kar bata na..." before Swati said anything, Shefali came inside with Preeti & Priya.. " ab tum donon gappe maarna bandh karo aur lo khaana khaao jaldi se... phir thodi der rest karke taiyar bhi hona hai sabko..." 

Naina Swati looked at each other confusingly but drop idea to discuss further as they both are not clear on their thoughts, they join others and enjoy their lunch, feeding Swati by their own hands.. "aaj hum tujhe apne haathon se khilayenge.. pata nahin ab kab yeh mauka mile.." their eyes get wet thinking about her vidaai... after lunch Swati laid down to take some rest whereas all girls get busy in arranging her stuff for marriage to avoid last minute rush...

In evening, there a hustle-bustle on both the sides.. everyone is running from here and there to get ready on time and checking on all last-minute preparations... bride side is more occupied as they have to welcome the Groom and his family...

In girls' room, all were busy in helping Swati to dressed up and in her make-up... Shefali make a big bun of her hairs decorated with flower beads (gajra) & adjust her heavy dupatta on that... 

Naina smiled thinking how Sameer is fascinated with her open hairs, thinking, "mein toh apni shaadi mein baal khule hi rakhungi... jaise Sameer ko pasand hai..." they all get ready one by one with lots of teasing and fun with each other.... all preferred to dress-up as per their partners choice...

In boys' room, they helped Munna to dress up to look like an elegant groom.. Rohan, "yaar tu kuchh bhi pehen le kya farq padta hai... lagega toh bandar hi na Swati ke aage.... dekha nahin movies mein ladkiyaan kitna sajti hai shaadi wale din, aur Swati ko toh fashion ka kitna shauk hai.." 

Pandit controlling his laugh, "vaise bhi ab kapdo se kitna bhi chhupa le, shakal ka kya karenge... voh toh vaisi hi rahegi na... voh kya kehti hai Swati tujhe pyaar se.... haan bandar" he said teasing him more

Sameer came for his rescue, "abey tum donon kyun usako pareshaan kar rahe ho... Munna tu meri sun inki chhod... ek kaam kar tu na yeh sehra mat hatana apne chehre se... bas kisi ko pata hi nahin chalega ki ghodi ke upar bandar baitha hai ya gadha.. dekha kitna simple hai... tu darr mat mein hun tere saath hamesha... mere rehte mazaal hai koi aur tera majaak udaaye...."

Munna glared them deadly, "sahi mein mere bhai, agar tu nahin hota toh itni izzat se meri beizzati kaun karta... kamino kam se kam aaj shaadi ke din toh meri thodi izzat kar lo, kal se toh vaise bhi Swati meri boss banane wali hai... aaj ka din bacha hai meri aazadi ka... us par bhi tum jaise dost ho toh dushmanon ki kya jarurat hai..." 

He sulked, "isase achchha toh mein apni behen ko apne paas bula leta... kam se kam voh toh meri taraf hoti aur usake aage dekhta kaise teri zubaan chalti teri... munh par taala lag jaata hai usake aage toh..."

Sameer happily hugged him, "sach kah raha hai... bhai jaldi jaakar bula la na usako... sachchi usake baad tujhe kuchh nahin kahunga... teri koi khichai nahin karunga.... pakka, bohot der ho gayi usase mile huye.... aankhen taras gayi hai usse dekhne ko..." he said cutely pleading him to call Naina here...

Rohan laughed, "aur kya usake baad toh isse hosh hi nahin hoga jo teri taraf mud kar bhi dekhe... aur sun agar ja raha hai toh meri tikhi mirchi ko bhi bula lana.. badi der se dikhai nahin di patakha.." he also added his request to meet his love...

Pandit too said, "haan yaar Priya ko bhi le aana, pata nahin kuchh khaaya hai usane ki nahin... mein apne haathon se us ke liye garam garam samosa launga..." he said dreamingly eating Samosa sharing with her...

Munna getting more irritated, "sachchi yaar poore kamine hi ho... yahaan mera band bajne wala hai aur inko apni aashiqui ki padi hai... beta tumhara number bhi dur nahin, tab bataunga... ek ek se badla na liya toh dekh lena, mein bhi Swati ka pati nahin...." they all laughed having their signature hug... Munna's mother called them to come down as its time for baraat to proceed... all excited to meet their girls proceed for the rituals...
