"Whenever my groom is ready." she shrugged.

"If you say so, I can set you up with a guy-"I immediately stopped recording and a scowl appeared on my face while I walked towards them.

"Hi, chamatkar" She looked at me and muttered something under her breath. This reaction came out because yesterday night, I called her by that in front of everyone and now she gets teased by them. I get teased too, but she'll only shout at me not considering that. Sad.

"Hello, Jaadu" she replied and I just let out a chuckle at the choice of her nickname.
[Jaadu- Magic]

"Who is he?" The uncle asked her.  Before she could reply, I did.

"Her boyfriend"

I felt her eyes gaze at me but I just smiled.

"Oh, Aapne.. galti se bhi suna tha kya maine jo bola woh?" I nodded.
[Did you, by mistake, hear what I said?]

"Oh, sorry, sorry. I think I should get back to work" his voice trailed off and he turned around muttering something and continued his work. I heard a chuckle and shook my head.

I intertwined my right arm with her left and started walking taking her along. She stumbled and held my arms with both of her hands.

"And you, if you got married, it would be child marriage" She slapped my arm not-so-lightly.

"You speak nonsense."

"Just like you" I replied just to get a slap on the arm again.

"Stop harrassing me" She put a hand over her open mouth dramatically. I hit her head softly.

"I'm harrassing you? What did you do then?" I hit her head again at this question as a reply.

"Ayeee"

"I just showed you what I did because you asked me" I shrugged.

"Okay, now don't whine that I'm harrassing you" She kept hitting me on my back and I rolled my eyes.

"You think that is hurting?" This time the slap I got on my back hit hard.

"Ouch"

"You asked for it, Mr Softie." She shrugged while I narrowed my eyes at that name.

"I'm not a softie"

"Prove it then" she smirked.

"You'll not like it when I prove that," I said with a serious expression.

"Oh please, bring it on."

"Not the right time, chamatkar"

"And when is the right time?" She questioned.

"Soon. "

"Okay, whatever-" We both turned around when Abhinav called us.

"You both love birds stop your romance here and do some work" Ananya was going to remove her hand but I caught it with my other one.
