Sameeksha's POV
"Mujhe nhi jaana" Abhishek said rudely, everyone looked at him.

"Puttar ek hi gurudwara hai yaha, shaam ka kirtan accha hota hai. Sab jaa rahe hai, tu bhi aaja" Daadi said.

"Daadi mujhe nhi jaana gurudware me, jisko jaana hai jaae" He said. "Abhay, kya badtameezi hai yeh?" Manjot Bhaiya asked.

Abhishek lowered his lashes, "Abhishek, chalte hai na, accha hota hai" I said.

"Ek baar kaha nhi jaana, to nhi jaana. Tumhe jaana hai to jao" He said. I felt a pain in my chest and tears forming in my eyes. Not waiting for them to fall, I left from there.

I closed the door of my room and as I sat on the bed, someone opened the door. "Tu jaa, me theek hu" I said knowing it was Bandana.

"Abhay ko mana lenge, tu chal to sahi" She said, "nhi yaar, mujhe nhi manana kisiko, tu jaa bas" I said. She hummed and started leaving.

"Baakio ko join karo, me abhi aaya" I heard Manjot Bhaiya's voice.

"Usko me personally peetunga..." He said kneeling down infront of me, "...par abhi hame chalte hai, okay?" He asked sweetly. I shook my head, he sighed.

"Woh pagal hai, gusse me kucch bhi bolta hai, uski baat ka bura mat maano" He said, "lekin Bhaiya, usko sabke saamne esa behave nhi karna chahiye tha na?" I asked as I started crying again.

"Sameeksha..." He said sitting next to me and wrapping his arms around me protectively. I hid my face in his chest, "jaldi gussa ho jaata hai woh" He said caressing my hair.

"Chalo ek deal karte hai: tum shaadi ke baad uska gussa shaant karna, aur jab tum dono ka jhagda hoga tab me ese hi tumhe shaant karunga, okay?" He asked, I chuckled breaking the hug. He smiled.

"Thodi der me tumhe manane aaega, tab jaldi mat maan'na. Tevar dikhana" He said, I started laughing. "Aapko kese pata woh aaega?" I asked.

"Hamesha ese karta hai. Pehle logo pe bhadkega, fir manane aaega" He said, "ab me chalta hu" He said standing up. I smiled and then he left.

Bandana's POV
We reached the gurudwara and washed our hands and feet as we entered.

"Baandh do please" Manjot said giving me his handkerchief, "me kabhi peeche knot nhi baandh pata" He said.

I smiled, "umm...thoda jhukiye" I said awkwardly as he's a lot taller than me.

"Poora hi jhukk jaata hu" He smirked and kneeled down. I smiled and covered his head with that handkerchief, and then tied a knot at the back of his head.

"Chale?" He asked, I nodded.

I've seen couples entering gurudwaras, and always imagined myself walking in the halls with my life partner. It was finally becoming reality, we were walking together and taking His blessings.

Sameeksha's POV
I was putting my clothes in the wardrobe when I felt Abhishek's musculine arms around my waist.

"Kya hai?" I asked, "arey baap re, itna gussa?" He asked resting his chin on my shoulder. I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach.

"Nhi nhi, me to boht khush hu. Aakhir mere hone wale pati ne sabke saamne daanta jo hai mujhe" I said controlling my hormones.

He chuckled, "I'm sorry" He said.

"Bhaad me geyi tumhari sorry" I said looking away. "Yaar ab ese mat karo" He said holding my chin and making me look towards him.

"Mann to kar raha hai tumhara sar fod du" I said, "sar fod dia to shaadi kisse karogi? Ganpati to me hu nhi ke naya sar laga dogi" He said.

"Lame" I said.

He kept quiet.

After some moments he broke the hug and make me turn. He held my hands gently, "gurudware me jaate to ham dono ko alag bethna padta. Tum women ki side me bethti aur me men ki side me, isi lie nhi gaya" He said looking at our hands.

I looked at him, there was guilt in his eyes, "Rabb ka ashirvaad bhi to milta na?" I asked, he looked into my eyes, "milta to" He said.

"Par tumse door bhi to nhi hona!" He said and suddenly pulled me towards him.

"Ham already boht kareeb hai" I said smiling and trying to push him away.

"Accha yaar, chalte hai gurudware" He finally gave up, "par uske badle tum dinner ke baad mere saath ghoomne chalogi" He said. I agreed and we left.
