Padmini: Dulha kidhar hai bhai?
Her sister and brother's family have reached...
Mru is busy answerring her daughters and Anvita's Questions.... her phone rings incessantly, a small drizzle begins outside.... She pauses on the phone "Ma, saare raaste mein phool bichhae hain Club ke driveway mein... its going to get slippery"
Dadi: Oopar awning hai na beta!
Dadaji: 4 baar pehan chuka hoon yeh silk shirt, koi dhang ki shirt nahi hai
Krishan upset "Arey Papa ko nayi shirt nahi dilayi kisi ne?"
Dadi: He has 7 unopened ones... Aap zara rukogey? (scolds her hubby in Punjabi)
Pawan: Yaar woh Yavatmal se jo samples mangwaaye woh subah tak aayega. Ateendra bhi ja raha hai Nasik, Pondy etc lets talk a lil before he leaves in the morning
The help hands Padmini a tall glass of home made strawberry lemonade... she jumps taking a sip "Bhabhi, basil AUR MINT?"
"I can taste both" smiles
Mridula: Its one of the alchoholic beverages in the newst book (smiles) aaj without alchohol!
Padmini: Dulha pahuncha nahi to mujhe to ek shot Vodka chalegi isme!
Mridula tries not to appear startled
Krishan: Tao kutho aaho? (where is he?)
Mridula's face relaxes a lil upon hearing her fave language
Padmini: Bus Bhayya shuru ho gaye dono.... yaar hame bhi batao! Bhabhi yeh koi code word hai kya?
Mridula" Nakko, Paddu!
Krishan: Did you call?
Mru: Aap karenge? (answering another call)
Krishan dials his number
Krishan: Raghav?! (firmly)
R: Yep? Dad!
Krishan: The bride is here
Raghav smiles bringing the phone down for s econd...
Krishan: Hellooo... did you hang up?
R: No...
Krishan: Ghar aane ka iraada hai aaj?
R: When this game is over?
K: Engagement is at 8! Raghav Kapoor! A girl of your choice (hisses, walking away from family towards a well lit, flower adorned, swing adorned, patio)
R: I should be there before 8 (unperturbed)
Krishan: What about clothes and shower?
R: Its covered Dad! (bored)
Mridula is touching his arm gently... "Raghav kuthe aahey?" (where is he?)
Krishan: Mom se baat karo... she is worried sick"
Raghav: I can speak with her... (tone softens)
Krishan: Get here! (biting, firm, as he hangs up)
Mridula: Will he do this after the wedding?
Krishan: He beter not...
Mridula (whisper) do you think..... I mean... do you think... he is with...
Krishan looks at his wife incredulously "He has his eyes set on that activist, he should not stray until he gets her out of his system"
Both husband and wife stare quietly for a moment at the massively decorated hallways and walk ways,, guests beginning to arrive.... the pomp and splendor...
Mridula: I hope he doesnt hurt her...
Krishan: I hope he grows up!
