A few minutes later, Lucky eased the rickshaw to a standstill outside of their house and when he killed the engine they were plunged into darkness. Blindly, the trio disembarked the vehicle, giggling as they bumped each other accidentally in the blackness of the night.

‘So, how about it, Arun?’ came Lucky’s voice from somewhere up ahead.

‘How about what?’

‘Getting married. You have all these beautiful mandir girls to choose from … I think we should start calling you Lucky!’

‘Both of you would be lucky to marry any of those girls,’ interrupted Hanara, finding Lucky’s shoulder and shoving him playfully in a half-hearted attempt to defend her friends.

‘Your friends are lovely, Hanara,’ began Arun, trying hard to stifle a giggle because he didn’t wish to offend his sister now that they were finally getting along, ‘they just ask a lot of questions.’

‘Women do that,’ retorted Lucky, swerving to avoid another of Hanara’s shoves.

‘Not all of them, Lucky … your friend, Chandni, she was very quiet,’ remarked Arun, surreptitiously trying to steer the conversation round to the only girl that he was interested in discussing.

‘Oh, she is not quiet, just a little shy. She always takes some time to get used to people that she doesn’t know,’ replied Hanara dismissively.

‘How long have you known her for?’

‘Oh, just about her whole life. She’s your age, I think.’

‘How did you meet her?’

‘Everybody knows Chandni. Rajubhai Joshi has been bringing her to the mandir practically every day since she was born,’ answered Hanara, her voice trailing off as she disappeared into the house.

‘Rajubhai Joshi?’ queried Arun, stopping at the door to the house and turning to Lucky for an explanation.

‘Yes, Arun,’ he answered impatiently, shoving his brother forcefully into the house, ‘Chandni is Rajubhai Joshi’s daughter.’
