Devaki's POV
I came back from practice.

Everyone was ready. They were going somewhere. I took a glass of water.

"Kaha jaane ki tayaari ho rhi h?" I asked taking a sip of water.

"Tere sasre" Chachi said. I spit the water.

"The hell? Waha...waha kya h?" I asked.

"Tayaar hoja. Tere hone wale sasur ne bulaya h" She said. I looked at them confusingly.

They simply ordered and I went to get fresh.

We left for Sumedh's place.

Oh God. I was excited. I was going to his place for the first time.

We reached. They welcomed us and we sat in the hall.

They started some formal talking.

"Dekhie Raj Sahb, hamne kucch socha h ji" Sumedh's father said.

Sumedh came from his room. He smiled looking at me and touched elders' feet.

Then he sat next to him mom.

"Ham chahte h k viah ki sab rasme Vidharbha me ho" He said.

"Vidharbha me?" Papa asked. He nodded.

"Waha hamari khandani Haveli h. Sab rasme wahi krte h, kyo ji? Aap bhi waha aa jaiye. Hamare saath rahie" He said.

Papa simply agreed as we were "ladki wale", so he didn't want to argue.

It wasn't a bad idea afterall.

"Mennu lagta h baccho ko thoda time dena chahiye akele me baat krne k lie. Parso se mile h bechare" Sumedh's father said.

Sumedh caughed. I controlled my smile.

Sumedh took me to his room.

We looked at each other and then burst in a laughter.

"Aapko ek baat poochu?" I asked. He nodded.

"Aapke Bauji punjabi kyu bolte h beech beech me?" I asked.

"Actually, Daadi punjabi thi. Jab Bauji chote the tab Daadi nhi chahti thi k woh Vidharbha me rhe. Some family matter...to Daadi ne Bauji ko Punjab bhej diya, apne maike. Bauji wahi rhe, fir unki shaadi hui aur tab woh Vidharbha wapas ae. So basically woh Punjabi zada bolte h" He explained.

Sumedh's POV
"Pune me kon kon h aapke ghar?" Devaki asked.

"Umm...ghar nhi h, boht badi Haveli h" I said. "Waha rehte h Bauji, Mummy, mera cousin Siddharth, uski wife Parul aur kabhi kabhi me" I explained.

"To itni badi Haveli kyu?" She asked. "Waha k Thakur h ham, is lie" I said. "Thakur?" She asked confusingly.

"Haan...ohh tumhe kese pta hoga" I said. "Well, me thakuro k vansh se hu. Pehle uss gao pe mere purvaj raaj krte the, ab me kr raha hu. So basically me Vidarbha ka Thakur hu, Thakur Sumedh Singh Bhadoria" I said proudly.

She smiled and nodded.

"Mujhe pta nhi tha pehle...I thought mujhe sab pta h aapke bareme" She said.

Aah, there are still so many things that she doesn't know about me.

Someone knocked the door.

"Devaki beta chale?" Devaki's Chachi asked.

We went out.

Devaki and her family left.

"To kab chal rhe h ham Vidharbha?" I asked. "Kal svere" Bauji said.

I nodded.

Devaki's POV
As soon as I reached home, I started my packing. There was so much work to do.

After almost three hours of 'housework', I was done.

I went to my room and laid on the bed.

I fell asleep.

*******

At 9 am, everyone was ready and we left for Sumedh's place.

They were also ready.

Sumedh was sitting in his car. We were talking to his mom.

"Beta tum yaha kyu khadi ho? Jao jakar Sumedh se milao" His mom said.

No, please. She literally pushed me to go and talk to him.

I went there and soon as he realised that I was standing there, he got out of the car.

"Hi!!" He said happily.

I smiled. "Ready to go?" He asked. I slightly nodded.

"Wait, kisi se milvata hu" He said.

I nodded.

Sumedh's POV
Ommy came out of the car. "Yeh h" I said to him pointing towards Devaki.

"Namaste Bhabhiji" He said folding his hands. Devaki blushed a bit.

"Namaste" She said folding her hands.

She was looking at him surprisingly.

"You know meri ek friend h Riya, woh aapki boht badi fan h" She said. "Yeah I know her...but sirf fan h?" He asked. They looked at each other and chuckled.

"Accha chalo abhi, warna late ho jaenghe" I said. They nodded and sat in the car.

Ommy sat on the front passenger's seat. I was going to drive.

"Yaha Devaki ko bethna tha!" I whispered. "Saale nibhali dosti? Bhabhi k aate hi paraya kr diya mujhe?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Nautankibaaz!" I said.

Devaki sat on the back passenger seat. I adjusted the rear view mirror to see her face.

I started the engine and we left.

Everyone else was in the other car.

Me and Ommy talked about random stuff.

Devaki's POV
I was looking at the road. I looked at the rear view mirror. Sumedh's eyes were visible in the mirror. Damn!! They were so beautiful.

He was concentrating on the road. I was lost in his eyes. Suddenly he looked in the mirror. We had a quick eye lock. He caught me!

Damn.

I looked away. I heard his chuckle.

My eyes looked at the right side mirror. I was looking at him again and again he caught me. He winked this time.

I lowered my lashes and smiled. He chuckled.

"Tere nain matakke k chakkar me mera ghar peeche reh gaya!!" Ommy said all of a sudden.

Sumedh stopped the car.

"Itna bhi peeche nhi h. Chal ja...nikal yaha se" Sumedh said.

"Saale thanks bhi nhi bolunga ab to!" He said. I chuckled.

"Bye Bhabhi...sudhaar dena is kamine ko. Aur Riya ko bolna mujhe call kre" He said. I smiled and nodded.

Ommy left.

Sumedh turned to look at me.

He signed to sit on the front seat. "Umm, yaha bhi theek hu" I said.

"Arey aage aao na" He said.

I nodded and sat on the front seat.

Oh God. It was so different. I always dreamt to sit next to Sumedh Singh Bhadoria when he was driving.

It was a different feeling, just impossible to express by using words.

"Easily ek ghanta lagne wala h. Agar tum ese hi chup rahogi to me boht pakne wala hu" He said. I chuckled. He smiled.

"Field pe itna chillati ho, interviews me reporters k kapde phad deti ho...mera saath kya ho jata h tumhe?" He asked.

"Chillana Virat se seekha h, reporters k kapde phadna Mahi Bhai se..." I said. "Aur mere saath chup rehna?" He asked.

"Aapke pyaar ne" I whispered. "Huh?" He said.

"K-kucch nhi" I said. "Kucch kaha tumne" He said. "Naah...kucch nhi..." I said.

"To ab mujhe Virat ya Mahi Bhai se baat krni hogi?" He asked. I chuckled and shook my head.
