D: Mmm... something modern and romantic. She should get impressed and immediately say yes!

R: Immediately say yes means we'll do it the traditional way - Give her a ring and then propose!

D liked the idea and clapped his hands.

D: Super bava !! Super !!! But I didn't buy a ring... (Looks at his fingers) I don't have one either... (Takes his bava's hands) No you also don't have...how will I propose now ??

R: You have a point...hmm...let's think...

D: I got an idea !

R: What ??

D: Mmm.. they would have bought rings for engagement it must be in uncle's room.. shall I go steal it and come ? After I buy new ring and put for Sweety I will return the old ring and apologise to Uncle.Ok bava ?

R: You can't even stand properly you want to go to his room to steal. If they catch you, they'll hang you on the wall instead of a photo frame!!

D: Waaahhhh... aiyaiyooooo aiyaiyoooo....aiyaiyooooo no ring I can't propose... Sweety will be engaged to bhel puri seller infront of my eyes... aiyaiyoooo...

R: Ssshhh..shhh it's ok bava relax....no problem you can do that later just replace it with a red rose for now...See here it is...

R picked a red rose from the vase kept in their room and gave it to D.

D: Yaayyy ! I got rose ! Red rose! Now I can propose! I'll give it to her and come.

R: Arere.. wait bava ! There is a way to do it. See now you have to kneel and then show the rose up to her and ask her this question - Will you marry me pls?

D: Baah ! That's all ? See now Pabsu pa talents!!

He followed R's instructions. R hit his forehead seeing the way D kneeled.

R: Reyyy !! What the hell are you doing ?? This is as if praying in a church! If you do this she will draw a cross on your forehead, give you a bible, rosary and walk off..idiot !

D changed his position.

D: Is it correct now ??

R: Waaahhh this is perfect ra !(Claps hands) All you need is a mace. Shout 'Jai Shri Ram' and leap you might reach lanka and find Seethamma but you won't get Sweetamma !

D: Why ra ??

R: This is Hanuman ji pose that's why!! Wait I'll show you see you have to do like this.

D watched carefully and followed exactly what his bava did.

R: Perfect! Ok now hold the rose up and give a romantic look, pls don't roll your tongue in your mouth in the name of romance she will think you are looking for a spot to spit your gum. Give a heartfelt grin that is your plus she will definitely fall for it.

D: Ok bava! I understood now hmm but what if I get nervous when I see her?

R: Huh... then close your eyes.

D: Mmm... ok. After this what to do ??

R: If she rejects, apologize say wrong number and without turning back run. I'll wait for you at the gate with bags and we'll flee from this place before dawn but if your luck is good and bro accepts you then continue your hamsa navaa.

D: Mmm... bava... I feel shy to kiss her again...mmm...

He bashfully giggled and hid his face on R's chest.

R: Hmm...but not shy to give birth to Mahendra. Come... hey wait!
Very important.. keep your breath fresh bad breath is a turn off ! You're reeking of alcohol put on some perfume.

D: Ok bava.

A mischievous smile playing on her lips, Bahubalifan decided to play a prank on them and swirled her magic wand.

Bbfan: Now watch the fun!!!Yahooo!!!

T and S discreetly went to the guest room simultaneously the guys made their way to S's room. Because of the spell, neither the girls nor guys saw each other crossing. R stood infront of D holding his shoulders.

R: Don't sway, be steady. Bava... Take a deep breath. Are you ready for this ??

D nodded as both took a deep breath.

R: Ok... ready 1,2,3... blow !

D: Hooo........

He blew directly on R's face knocking him off. R held on to the wall to regain his balance. It took him a while to steady himself.

R: Uff! That breath could have sent me straight to coma !! What is this ra bava ?? After brushing your teeth with colgate, rinsing with listerine, chewing centrefresh, emptying a pack of tic-tac and munching a mouthful of saunf your breath is still a septic tank ?? How can bro endure this ??

D: Mmm... you give me an idea no...

R: Ok fine... stand 3 steps away from her and then propose.

D: Ok Bava...all the best !

R: I have to tell that! This is your first proposal bava don't damage the name of your guru do a good job and make me proud. If I get you ashore I would have achieved my purpose in this birth and then I can walk to Kashi barefoot. Pls don't screw up ok all the best! Here, hold your rose.

D: Don't worry bava I will live up to your name. I you bava... Ummaah!!

He pecked R's head, took the rose with confidence and entered her room.

D: Mmm.. Bava asked me to stand 3 steps away from her so 1...2...3...Yes! This is Pabsu's spot, I have to stand here and propose. Let me mark the place first.

He went to her dressing table, picked a lipstick, went back and drew a small 'P' on the floor marking his space to stand.

D: P for Pabsuu...

R saw this from his hiding spot and banged his head on the wall.

R: Aiyoo aiyoo aiyooo!!! I can't watch this any further let me turn.

D got into position kneeling on one leg and once he got his equilibrium, he held the rose up. Closing his eyes he cleared his throat.

D: Bangaram, MARRY YOU PLS ME WILL ??

In his drunken stupor the words get interchanged but he thought that was the right way. Smilingly he opened his eyes and adjusted his vision to see a stupefied sister-in-law in place of Sweety!

D: Baboi !!

Sil: Huh... kissing Sweety... love with Rana and proposing a married wo...

It was too much for her to digest and she passed out. D jumped to his feet and quickly caught her from falling. He called out to his bava.

D: Bava come ra !! I need help... !!

Hearing his screams, R rushed in to see D with the rose clasped in between his teeth and holding sil in a 'dip' salsa pose.

(This is the pose but in place of the couple it is D and S's sil)

R: Reyy bava wth!! 😱😱

D: Chee! She is like my vadina... come and help me.

R held her arm and D on the other side, they carefully placed her on the bed. She was still unconscious.

D: Sorry Vadina... pls forgive me.

He touched her feet asking for forgiveness.

R: Bava ! Won't you check who it is before proposing ?

D: Hey you only said to close your eyes if I was nervous so I did that who knew she would be in Sweety's room at this time ?? Btw, where are those two?? Not here at this time ?

R: Huh... they would be somewhere around discussing which earring to wear, which bag to carry, heels or flats, which animal style to pose for selfie.. (giggles)

D: (giggles)Yeah you are right bava! Poor Vadina.. first she thought of us as a couple and saw me proposing her no wonder she fainted.

R: Ssshh..when she wakes up she will tell everyone. My knees are going weak thinking of her husband and uncle. Bava, if they hand me over to police and I am made to sit in the lock-up in my underwear, you will come and save me no ??

D: Hell no !! But you can use my name, say you acted with 'Bahubali' they might release you. Hee hee hee...

R: Grrr!!! Bava !! Oh no ! Let's escape from here before someone comes!

D: Yes let's flee the rest we'll face in the morning!!

In D's room, T and S were waiting for them.

S: What is this Tammy ? How long more to wait where have these two gone ??

T: Must have gone back to booze can't contact them both their phones are here.

S: Then let's go back.

T: No Sweety we came this far let's wait for some more time.

S: No point Tammy they'll be heavily drunk and in no position to talk or listen.
Let's see tomorrow...

T: But morning is your engagement Sweety. We won't have time in the morning...

S: Then forget it we are not meant to be...

S began to weep cupping her mouth to muffle the cries and rushed out with T running behind her. Just then D and R returned to their room. They failed to see the girls leaving. R shut the door and D plopped on the bed closing his eyes.

R: We screwed up big time bava!

D nodded his head, tears rolling from the corners of his eyes.

R: Bava you're crying ??

D: 12 years we were together we spent many days and nights talking I had so many chances but let them all pass and now when I want to tell her fate is playing games with me. I am a loser bava..

R sat beside D consoling him.

R: Don't lose heart bava we still have time tomorrow...we can...

D: No point ra on the day of her engagement if I propose to her how will she take it ? I can't hurt her ra. All these years she was by my side I remained quiet, denied our relationship, gave excuses now I really want to be with her but she is leaving me for good. Leave me alone for sometime pls bava.

R switched off the bed lamp and went to bed. D wasn't able to sleep he was thinking of all the memorable moments they had. Tears trickled down his cheeks as he thought of his time spent with S. In another room it was the same scenario. S was crying onto her pillow reminiscing the past with Pabsu pa.

Bahubalifan, seated on a cloud, was munching popcorn and enjoying the ongoings from above.
