Tere Haathon Me Chai Sa Nasha Hai

She was coy, he was shy.

After all it was their first morning after being officially together in an arranged marriage.

Between their hesitation, there was a silence. Silence, that spoke a thousand words.

She asked: Aap nashte me kya khayenge?

He paused for a while, and said: Mai banata hun.

She said: Mai chai bana deti hun.

The silence broke, the awkwardness gone.

They spoke about various things, about their lives. Favorite hobby, books, movies, authors and what not. The food was ready, they sat on a table. Passing the food, their fingers touched. A thousand violins played in the background. A little awkward, they held their cups grabbing them fast.

After a sip, he looked at her.

She: Kya dekh rahe ho?

He: Tere haathon me chai sa nasha hai!!

She smiled. He shied.

They fell in love with each other, over chai.
