Wedding

!!Story Time!!

Radhika P.O.V

I am sitting on the terrace right now. There is a swimming pool here and a very cool breeze is blowing. There is no one here. I am sitting all alone right now because everyone is preparing for the wedding downstairs, and all those things are still going around in my mind.

I was sitting quietly in a chair, and I was reading a book and it was very quiet. A cool breeze was blowing. And then I heard someone coming. I did not look in that direction because I knew whose voice it was, and she sat down next to me. It was Divya.

"What are you doing here? Don't you want to get ready?" Divya said while sitting next to me. 

"There is still a lot of time for the wedding, I will get ready what are you doing here," I said. 

Divya leans comfortably on the chair and looks ahead at the swimming pool and asks, "which book are you reading?"

I give her the book and say, "Broken Heart."

"Well, I don't think that girl is really Justin's girlfriend," she Divya while looking at the book.

"I was also thinking the same thing, wait a minute, what did you just say?" I was surprised. As soon as I heard this, I immediately looked at her 

"Why are you looking like that? What do you think? I don't know anything. I know everything. When that girl was sticking to Justin, the changing expressions on your face were telling the truth about what was going on in your mind and anyway, you have never done anything for anyone till date and on Kartik's insistence, you went to the garden to give Sherwani. I can't believe that there is nothing between you two," Divya said.

I was staring at Divya because I didn't know what to say now, meaning whatever she said was almost right.

"There is nothing like that between us, just as you are thinking, yes, I have started liking him because.............There is a reason behind it, ............. actually, the thing is that I don't know the reason why, ...... why, ..... yes, it just feels good to be with him." I said getting confused.

"Whatever the reason, you are in love now. The simple thing is that if you have fallen in love, it means you will have to do something about that girl." Divya said after thinking for a while.

"Why would I search? Justin will do. The girl said herself his fiancée........... Well, I think she might be because Justin's mom likes her" I said

"And how do you know this?" Divya said.

Then I took a deep breath and after that, I told Divya about the dinner.

Divya was looking at me with surprise and then said, "so much has happened and you did not tell me anything."

"Hey, you had gone on your wedding honeymoon, what would I tell you about all this? And anyway. Leave it, I will take care of all this, what do I have to do, let's go from here, we are getting late, we have to get ready too." I spoke.

I said this and took the book from his hand and stood up and Divya also started following me.

At night during the wedding.

It's wedding time and the bride and groom's photo shoot is going on downstairs. Almost all the guests who had not come till now have arrived. Those who were going to come directly to the wedding and everyone else is ready. Ishika is calling me because I got a little late in getting ready because I was sitting on the roof. That's why.

I am finally ready, and I am wearing this black colour dress which I like very much. And I was just looking at myself in the mirror thinking that I am looking perfect when my phone rang. It had Ishika written on it. I picked up the phone and immediately said "I am coming, my mother I am coming, just wait for 2 minutes, I am meeting you, you reach downstairs". After saying this I disconnected the phone and quickly went out from there.

I quickly came down to the garden where the wedding was taking place and everyone had arrived and were talking among themselves, it was very crowded and songs were playing in front and Ishika, Pushpanjali and Khushi were standing on one side in the corner.

(Khushi Look)

(Ishika Look)

(Pushpanjali Look)

I went to them and gently placing my hand on Pushpanjali's shoulder said, "Pushpanjali, you were saying that you will not wear this saree, it is not looking good on you, but in my opinion, you are looking very nice."

"I thought I would not look good because light colours don't look good on me, but this one actually looks really good," said Pushpanjali.

Khushi says something before Ishika points to one side and we look back and see Gulafsha and Dev coming together and then Dev hugs Gulafsha and kisses her on the cheek and leaves from there and she moves towards us. 

We all are shocked at this time.

As soon as she came to us, she said, "guys how am I looking?"

(Gulafsha Look)

"You are looking good madam but what happened just now, I am not able to digest it." Khushi said.

"Oh, that's a long story," she said while smiling.

"So, tell us quickly in one shot, we have to listen" I said it.

I had told that Dev is my boss, and he likes me. Before she could say anything further, a voice came from behind, "Guys what are you doing?" 

(Divya look)

Divya comes to us and stands up and before Gulabsha can say anything, there is an announcement in the mic that it is time for the bridal entry and Gulabsha says, "Guys, I will tell you all this after the wedding. It is time for the bridal entry now, come to the stage."

Then we go and stand near the stage and Divya says. "What were you guys talking about?"

"Something is going on between Dev and Gulafsha then we have to talk about that." I spoke.

"Oh, so you guys were talking about that, tell me too what is going on?" Divya said.

"Right now, even I don't know what is going on between them, she will also tell me that right now you concentrate on the bridal entry, if I get to know something then I will tell you, and stop bothering me, I am thinking of something." I said, looking at my phone.

Justin Dev Sahil and another guy were walking around the bride and then Kartik. He walks towards her and catches Akanksha's eye and hugs her. Everyone was making videos and clapping. A song was playing in the background.

After that Karthik holds Akanksha's hand and then both of them go on stage.

Aarti's mother brings garlands of flowers in a plate and gives one to each of them and they start wearing it around each other's neck and Kartik gets down on his knees in front of Akanksha so that She can put the garland around her neck comfortably.

After that Kartik also puts a garland around Akanksha's neck and then both of them sit on a chair kept on the side and one by one everyone's performance starts who had prepared their dance. Akanksha's mom and dad perform. Kartik's mom performs and after that. Justin Dev and Sahil also perform and then our turn comes.

After that Pandit ji calls Dhula and the bride to take the rounds. The mandap was ready and both Aakanksha and Kartik take off their shoes and go and sit at their place and do whatever rituals Panditji tells them to do. Everyone was paying attention to the bride and groom when I slowly went to Kartik's shoes. I had already taken off my shoes and wore his shoes. And my dress was completely touching the ground, so no one could know whose sandals or shoes I am wearing at this time. And this is the best way. No one is going to think where I have hidden the shoes. 

Then Ishika gives a few flowers in each of our hands and Kartik and Aakansha start taking rounds and as soon as the seven rounds are completed, everyone throws flowers on them and blesses them. Kartik puts a Mangal sutra around Aakansha's neck and fills her hairline with sindoor. After that, Pandit ji asks everyone to take their blessings because the wedding was Done.

And as soon as Karthik comes out of the mandap, he finds that his shoes are missing and then all of us girls come forward and stand there and start looking at Karthik with a big smile.

He says, "tell me how much money do you want? What is your demand?"

Khushi says, "there are six of us, see what you can give?"

"You can get everything, just ask for it?" Kartik says smilingly.

"Ok, not much, ₹1,50,101." Gulafsha said

"You guys are not asking for much.?" Says Karthik.

Before I could say anything, Dev says with smile "give it, everyone will come back. Don't worry."

Karthik laughs and says, "deal is done, bring the shoes."

"Money first, sir," I said.

Yes Madam, after that Kartik gives us money and we return his shoes to him. And then both of them come out of the mandap and touch everyone's feet one by one. They take blessings of their parents, all the elders and everyone. Then everyone goes to eat food...............
