Jhumka Gira Re…..

      “Ria, we must leave for Amar’s dinner party in an hour. Pls get ready quickly. You women take a lot of time to dress up Which dress to wear, which shoes, which earrings, jhumka or studs and what not.” Nikhil went on non-stop as he entered home. Ria had just come back from office and was deciding on what to wear for the party. She was still dressed in her office wear, wearing small, white stone earrings. She came out and said, “Chalo Nikhil. I am ready. Let’s go.” “Are you kidding? No sari, no statement earrings, no designer purse? How can you go to the party like this? You are the showstopper of the party. Go, get ready in your usual style. And please wear those stylish earrings that I bought for you from the website the other day.”

      “If you want me to look stunning, you will have to wait patiently.”

      “As you wish, mere aaka!”

      “And pls make some coffee for me once you are ready.”

      “Anything for you, my love.” Nikhil headed to the kitchen as Ria flew flying kisses to her dear husband.

      Ria Knew that Nikhil teased her for taking time to dress up, but he liked waiting while she would get ready. So, she selected a delicate powder blue chiffon sari and paired it with matching chandbali earrings. When Nikhil entered the room, he started singing a Bollywood song for his wife” Ye chand sa raushan chehra…” Ria blushed and brushed him aside. “ Ab chalo. Are’nt we getting late now?” “Ya but finish your coffee first. I have prepared special strong coffee for my darling wife. But why are you not wearing that gorgeous kan ka jhumka that has pearls hanging from it and a chain that you fix in your hair. That will look better with this sari. Pls wo pehno.” “But these chandbalis are the matching blue earrings that go well with my saree.” “Nothing to match your jhumkas. Just try them once.”

      “OK baba. Let me try them,” Ria pulled out the Kundan jhumkas that Nikhil had so lovingly bought for her, and tried them on.”

      “Oh my God. You look stunning now. Ye hue na showstopper earrings. They have no match.

      “Theek hai. I will wear these for the party. Let’s go now or else you will say we got late because of me.”

      “Not at all, I can wait for another hour if my darling wife looks so stunning after waiting.”

      “Stop embarrassing me. Let’s leave now.”

      “Jo hukm mere aaka.” Nikhil bowed dramatically and both left for the party.
