Aur Rang dosti ka khilne lga

As soon as she saw "Shekhar Kusum" in the office, Manika was blown away. This is not just a matter of today, but it has become a daily routine to be like this.

 On seeing Shekhar, Manika's whole body would be filled with excitement and coming in impulse, she felt that at this moment she would tie Shekhar in his arm and put the sign of her lips on every corner of his face, but it was not possible in front of everyone in the office. So the mind would remain sad and would look for excuses to talk to him or whenever she got a chance, she would stare at him.

 She liked the whole personality of Shekhar except for two things, one wearing his loose shirt too much and the other putting Kusum behind his name Shekhar.

 Then she used to think that once she get married, then she will mold it according to herself and she blushes with her thought and smiles to herself. 

 However, she had never received any such gesture from Shekhar.

 Yet this time she was determined that on Holi,she would speak her mind by telling Shekhar.

 Looking for a chance on the day of Holi party in the office, Manika went to Shekhar and said, Shekhar, I want to talk to you in private, will you come downstairs with me for a while.

 Shekhar came down with her and then asked, what is the matter?

 Manika, handling her uncontrollable heart with great difficulty, said Shekhar, I want to marry you, I probably can't live without you now.

 Shekhar held Manika's hand and said Manika, I appreciate your feelings but it is not possible.

 Manika asked why what is lacking in me or is there someone else in your life?

 Shekhar said no, Manika, is not lacking in you but in me, listen, "I am neither completely male nor female." I am so - - - - I am that form whose society can worship in the form of Ardhanarishvara but cannot accept it. It is not that I am unaware of your filling but tell me on such a path. How does one make a step which has no destination?

 And listen, this is the reason for wearing my loose which you don't like at all, isn't it?

 On hearing this, Manika got tears in her eyes and she said to Shekhar, I don't care what you are or what not, I just want to spend my life with you.

 Shekhar smiled and said, "We often take wrong decisions by getting carried away by these momentary emotions and life is not a film that will end in three hours. Got it Pagli!"

 And listen, there are many colors of relationships in life, what happened, I can not put red color(sindur) in your maang , but I can decorate your cheeks with yellow and green color of my strong friendship, can't you? Tell me what do you say?

 What to say! Love is like a glass, it's fate is to be shattered, but yes! friendship is like a strong knot and I want to be tied in the knot of your friendship. But listen, when someone comes looking for me to make me bride, then my friend Do not become a jalkukdu for fear of losing someone, understand! When Manika said mischievously, Shekhar also smiled, putting the yellow color of friendship on her cheeks.
