S: ridz can I ask you something?

R: yes you can ask anything

R: marriage!… umm. Yes last month I attended one in nearby city. in this you enjoy a lot. Everyone dance, variety of food to eat. One handsome man dressed like a prince came on white horse everyone gather around him. Then a lady looking pretty with all heavy costume came near him. Then everyone present them gifts and they do photoshoot. You know then they take rounds around fire and

S: And?

R: and then I slept and don't know what happened.

S: does that lady leave with that man?

R: don't know. But why you are asking all this?

S: actually my sister is getting married and everyone back at home was saying that she will be leaving after marriage.

R: really. Then I am never going to get married. I'll not leave my parents and you behind.

S: me too 

Both smiled and returned to their playing.
