Mohabbatein

Sangeet

Sameeksha's POV
"Bandana" I called her, she was cleaning the mess on her study table. She hummed in response.

"Mujhe punjabi bolliyan bata, me kal sangeet me Abhishek ko impress karungi" I said.

I knew that she desperately wanted me and Abhishek to be in a relationship. I tried to make her happy by saying that I wanted to impress him.

"Google karle, boht saari mil jaengi" She said. I was disappointed, but I wanted to give it one more chance. "Google ka samajh nhi aaega. Teri wali samajh na aai to tu samjhaa dio" I said.

She sighed and nodded.

She wrote something on a paper and gave it to me. "Ek film me thi yeh. Online nikaal ke dekh lio, kal sangeet me use kario, accha rahega" She said. I looked at the paper and nodded.

I tried to read what it said. It was in punjabi, but was kind of understandable.

"Bandana yeh kya lik..." I said looking up, and found her sleeping already.

I ran my fingers through my hair.

I shook my head and switched off the lights.

*******

The next evening...
Abhishek's POV
I saw Bandana standing in the kitchen, doing some work.

"Bandana baat karni hai" I said. "Abhi busy hu" She replied. "Nhi abhi karni hai" I insisted. She nodded.

"Kya problem hai?" I asked. "Kaha?" She asked looking at me. "Ham dono jaante hai kaha" I said. She looked down.

"Sameeksha ko bas insecurity hai" I said, "mujhe to nhi hui. Tum dono ko saathme dekh kar khush hoti hu me to" She said. "Sab ek jese nhi hote" I said.

"Sab theek ho jaega bas Sameeksha ko thoda time do. Me bhi usse samjhaunga. Tum Sameeksha aur Manjot se door hone ka mat sochna" I said.

"Sameeksha se kabhi door nhi ho sakti me" She said, "ab Manjot ko apni life me aane dia hai to usse bhi door mat karna" I said.

"Bandana" I said holding her shoulders, she looked at me, "he's serious about you" I said. "To yeh jaake Sameeksha ko samjhao" She said getting rid of my hands.

"Thoda thoda ham sabko cooperate karna hoga, please" I said. She finally agreed.

Manjot's POV
Couples were given priority in the ceremony. Romantic songs were playing and they were dancing. I wanted to dance with Bandana, at least on one song, but she didn't look happy for some reason.

I haven't seen her smiling after the mehendi ceremony.

Abhay just said that everything will be fine soon.

I was looking at her, standing on the other side of the stage. She was wearing a beautiful pink lehenga.

She suddenly smiled a bit. Nobody was with her, what did make her smile?

"Bandana ko yeh gaana boht pasand hai, Sameeksha ne bataya" Abhay told me. I smiled and nodded. "Stage khaali karva" I said.

Bandana's POV
My favourite punjabi song, Teri meri jodi from Haani, was playing.

I smiled looking down, I looked up for a second and saw Manjot coming towards me.

He forwaded his hand, asking for a dance. I looked at him nervously, he held my hand and took me to the stage.

He squeezed my hands a bit, raising my confidence levels. I smiled looking at him.

He started pulling me towards him, and then wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked up.

"Koi pata na laggya mennu, kad ho geyi teri deewani" I sang touching the right side of his nose with my index finger, making his face turn left. He smiled.

"Soh Rabb di pyaar tere ne, meri badal ditti zindganni" He sang joining his forehead with mine.

"Hun tu mera ho gaya, eh dil vi tera ho gaya" I sang blushing, not looking at him.

"Hum tu meri ho geyi, eh dil vi tera ho gaya, ni mann moh laya" He sang as we pulled apart.

"Oh mann moh liya mera, mann moh liya mera,
Oh mann moh liya mera, oh sab kucch kho liya mera" He sang twirling me around.

"Teri meri jodi nibhegi umran todi,
Oh do takdeera miliya, ve lekh lakirya miliya" He finished, kneeling down on one his left knee and holding my left hand with his right hand.

He rested his forehead on the back of my hand and then kissed it. He looked up at me, smiling. I heard come claps, that's when I realised where we were.

I saw Maa Papa staring at us.

Shoot.

Sameeksha's POV
Everyone was on stage.

We played some punjabi bolliyan, in which I included the ones that Bandana suggested.

We were all dancing crazily when bolliyan started.

We started a jugalbandi of bolliyan between girls and boys.

I had one.

"Guys guys!" I said asking for their attention.

"Baari barsi khattan gaya si, khattke liyandiya falliyan!!" I said loudly, "oh balle!!!" Bandana shouted. I smiled.

"Baari barsi khattan gaya si, khattke liyandiya falliyan" I repeated, Abhishek was looking at me with a smirk.

"Kudiya Punjab diya, dudh makkhan naal paliya,
Kudiya Punjab dia diya, dudh makkhan naal paliya,
Kudiya Punjab diya!!!" I sang with Bandana, and Ishika also helped a bit.

We had a small round of bhangra and gidda.

"Gusy guys guys!! Suno" Abhishek said loudly. We looked at him.

"Baari barsi khattan gaya si, khattke liyandiya kaniyan" He sang loudly, "oh balle! Balle! Balle!!" Manjot and Shubman said loudly. We chuckled.

"Oh baari barsi khattan gaya si, khattke liyandiya kaniyan" He repeated looking at me.

"Munde Punjab de, viah ke lyonde pariyan,
Munde Punjab de, viah ke lyonde pariyan,
Munde Punjab de" The three of them sang.

I blushed when Abhishek said that looking at me.

He started dancing with me and hit his shoulder with mine, I looked at him "munde Punjab de, viah ke lyonde pariyan" He said with a wink.

I smiled and looked down. He chuckled.

After that we went to have dinner.

Bandana's POV
Everyone went home after sangeet.

Sameeksha and I were sitting in our room.

"To Abhay Banna tujhe ched raha tha?" I asked Sameeksha. She shook her head. "Jo bolliyan usne gaai, usse to yehi laga. Tujhe dekh raha tha" I said. She smiled.

"Tu maan ya na maan, tujhe bhi uske lie boht kucch feel ho raha hai" I said. "Chal na, esa kucch nhi" She denied, I smirked.

"Tujhe kabhi kisi ne bola tu pariyo jesi sundar hai?" I asked, she looked at me. "Bandana shut up!" She said throwing me a pillow.

"Arey!" I said laughing, "mene uski baat thodi ki, bat ese hi poocha" I said. "Sab pata hai!" She said. I chuckled.
