How can they forget the mango leaves!? That is the main thing for puja!
- You! See na from where you can buy some mango leaves! I can't believe that I missed this! And I also told you that even though I have checked the list several times, You should've also checked it!!
- Calm down Ginni!!! I am managing! ~Baba said, assuring Maa~
Maa came to us.
- Durni, go and find some mango leaves, without it he rituals would be meaningless... GO!
- But from where will I-
- Just go with the other uncles and servants! ~Maa said~

Dada obeyed her when an idea struck in my mind. I held Maa's wrist and said,
- Maa, may I go? I can also look for the leaves.
She nodded after thinking for some seconds.
- Namjoon, would you please accompany me? ~I asked to him~
- Yeah sure! *to Unnie* Noona, I am going with her, okay?
- Okay. Come fast!
We left from that place when I reached the garage and took out my bicycle. He looked at me, being confused.
- Are you sure you can ride the bike in saree?
- I can't... But surely you can! ~I said, confidently~
- I can ride a bike in dhoti? ~He asked~
- Of course! Don't worry, it won't get loose. ~I said, giggling~
- Okay... so, where should we go?

I smirked and snapped two finger.
- Just listen and follow my directions.
He sat on the bike. Then I managed the pallu of my saree and sat behind the bike, uncomfortabaly.
- Won't you face any problem riding the bike with me heavy weight on the back?
- Not at all..!!! You are not heavy!! Well, hold my waist tightly.
With that he forced onto the paddle of the bicycle after I wrapped my arms around his torso. I was afraid what if I fall... I continued telling him the directions. Within 2 minutes we reached a spot.

~End of Y/n's POV~

Namjoon's POV:

I got up from the bike after Y/n and looked at the spot, placing hands on my waist.
- Is this the place you were talking about?
- Yess...
I saw a mango tree, half of it's branches crawled above the big, bricked canopy outside someone's house. I tried to reach the top of the canopy when she grabbed my arm, stopping me.
- No way you are going to ruin the white Punjabi!
- Then how will we get that?
- Hmm...
She thought of something and in an instant, she picked up a long stick from the ground and then folded her long pallu and wrapped the length around her waist.
- This was for us only..
With that, she succesfully touched the leaves but failed to bring it down. I snatched the stick from her hand and tired to bring down the light branch, but I failed too..
- It would be better if we had a hook kind of something.. ~I said~ but what are we gonna do now?? We are running late..
She again thinked of something when I was making my brain to work hard.

The bulb lit up in my brain when my eyes caught the bicycle.
I said, clapping my hands one time.
- Y/n, that's it! Wait!
I lifted the bicycle and brought it near the bricked canopy and made it stand straight and steadily. She was looking at me, being confused.
- What are you upto? ~she asked raising an eyebrow~
- Just don't be scared. I know you can do this. You have to stand on this cycle to reach the tree.
- WHAT! No I can't do that!! I am overweight and I will end up falling down. ~She said, shocked, opening her mouth wide~
- Y/n you can! There is no other way! Just trust me.. I will hold the cycle to prevent it from loosing balance. Come on, I am holding you.
- Namjoon I am scare-
- Don't be! We don't have much time.

She gulped and wrapped the long pallu of her saree and tucked it around her waist again. She placed her hand on the seat and placed a foot on the backseat.
- Please let me.
She looked at me when I grabbed her waist to support her to place another foot on the seat. She didn't say anything and was trying to put the pressure on her foot which was on the bike. I gripped her waist tightly and my fingers dug to her skin. She was scared of her weight and her body size and I failed to convince her that her body proportion and weight will do nothing to her. Finally with so much of courage and my support, she succeeded in lifting another foot on the bike. I supported the bike handle with my one hand and held her one foot to assure her that she won't fall.
