"So, Manik aur Cabir tum kab shaadi kar rahe ho?" aunty asked.

"Time hain aunty, office issues ki wajah se I had to discontinue my studies, so it's going to take me a year" I said.

"Aur Cabir tum?"

"Jaise Mukti aur Deepu kaa ek saath shaadi ho raha hain, waise manik aur mera bhi ho sakta hain" he said.

"Yeh toh bohoth acchhi baat hain, dhonon best friends ki shaadi ek hi din"

"Hopefully"

"Manik beta mujhe tum se kuch baat karni thi. Shaadi ke rituals mein dulhan ki parents kaa hona kuch events mein zaroori hain, aur kuch events mein bhayya aur Bhabhi. Toh tum ne kuch socha?"

Hmmm... Cabir and I were discussing this.

"Nai aunty, waise mein bhi sure nai hoon, I think Nandini aur mein wohh saari formalities karenge" I said doubtfully.

"Ek baat kahoon toh tum maanoge?"

"Jee aunty boliye na"

"Beta mere liye Deepu jithni apni hain, uthni hi aap log bhi. Toh agar tumhe buraa na lage toh, toh hum wohh sab formalities kar sakte hain, Mukti ke liye"

That moved me. A relationship that started on very bad terms, finally turned out to continue in such a beautiful way.

"Aunty yeh toh hamaari good luck hain, ki aap yeh Mukti ke loye karna chahthe hain. Hamein koi problem nai hogi, in fact bohoth bohoth bohoth khushi hogi" I said.

"Manik theek keh raha hain, Mukti ko bohoth acha lagega yeh baat sun ke"

"I am glad, ki aap logon ko yeh theek laga. Waise bhi dhonon shaadhiyan ek hi mahurat pe nai hain, toh it shouldn't be a problem"

This is the best thing I could hear, this morning.

We finally reached the first venue, a hotel.

It was decent, big size to accommodate a lot of people, but it wasn't very catchy.

So we decided to look at the next one. And this was the same. Aunty clearly rejected it.

Bacha ek, the only outdoor one. Good things are probably kept for the last, this is the perfect venue.

"Mujhe yeh pasand hain" Aunty said.

"Hamein bhi" Cabir too liked it, So we finalized this.

Dropping aunty at her place, we drove back home.

"That's so nice of them for being so thoughtful" Cabir said,

"I know right. We owe them big time for this"

"So Manik and Nandini are going to become Dr. Aryaman and Natkhat Deepika huh! It's going to be fun" he said,

"And Cabir and Navya are going to become Dr. Abhimanyu and jhalli mukti, that's fun too" I replied.

Tomorrow is the founding day of our orphanage, Aasra. But since it's going to be a busy day, we dropped some stuff today for the kids, gave a wedding card to the management, and promised the kids that would have so much fun at the wedding. They were so happy.

-------------------------------------------

Nandini, Alya and Navya after getting all the stuff returned home. They had almost 15 bags, the driver and the watchman getting them inside in turns.

The watchman had been there for a long time. He used to work for them back in Malhotra mansion as well, so he had a good relationship with them.

"Alya beta, ithna saara samaan khareedhne mein kithna time laga tum ko" he asked.
