✯Chapter-6✯

Vanya's POV:

I sighed as the nth time I am trying for a dress. I don't want to wear saree so Iam trying some suits which are either looking dull on me or either too bright for me.

Soon Jaanu came to my room clad in a nice chiffon royal blue saree. She is looking like a godess.

I complimented her and she blushed. She asked my what happened and I told her that iam able to find a suit for the wedding. She frowned at me and rushed towards me and touched my forehead. I gave her a confused look.

"Are you fine woman? You want to come to wedding on a suit?" She asked to which I sighed.

"My scars will be shown. They are ugly." I said looking down. "they are not! Stop saying that. They shows to the world that how much strong you are." She cupped my face and said. I nodded my head.

"Wait I will bring a nice saree for you." She said and went to my walk in closet. She came back with a red colour saree. It's blouse is net. The saree have stones here and there.

I tied the saree. Kids are not coming as I don't want them to. I don't want people to make a scene infront of them.

After tying it properly around my figure I called Jhanvi. She gasped and said I am looking beautiful. I only nodded as the compliment felt odd for me from hearing it from people after what like 7 years. I never attended parties even if I do I wear my ususal office suit there too. I ignored all the marriage invitations too as I get unwanted attention which till now is the least thing I want.

"Now sit here." She asked making me sit in front of mirror. She searched chest of drawers and found no make up. How could she when i threw them away 6 years back.

She gave me a pointed look. Then slowly her face have the smirk which is no good sign for me. She went and brought her hand bag and revealed a make up kit.

My eyes widened at that. I never expected this! Shit! Shit! Shit!

"Tada...!" She said wiggling her eyebrows. "Let's make the always beautiful Vanya Subramayam more beautiful now. " She said.

"Except powder , eye liner and lipstick if you make me wear or do something to my face I will not even come there." I said threateningly to which she rolled her eyes. "You are a spoil sport Vanu." She said dramatically earning a chuckle from me.

I sighed as she started doing her so called make up to my face.

She is done applying lipstick which is a red one highlighting my lips. I gasped at her. "Why did you do that? It's quiet highlighting on my whole face." I whined. "Come on. It's been ages. Now hurry up. We have to reach the before all the rituals are done" she chirped. Really it's been ages not only me getting ready but Jhanvi talking like this. For a moment I forgot that everything is not same as before as we first time talked like this from past years.

I don't know what's the reason behind her's and Adwait bhai's breakup as she said she isn't comfortable talking that subject with me in the initial days. But slowly she opened which is yet another heart breaking thing for me..

Looking at my reflection in the mirror my heart started beaiting crazily.

" Ughh! You just made the saree impure and you don't deserve to look beautiful Vanya." Said my inner voice. I shivered at that.

"Yes Vanya. You are nothing but worthless. You don't deserve this dress. You are looking ugly. You always do in each and every dress you wear! You are now doing nothing but provoking men.. " said my inner voice voicing it's thoughts.

" You are provoking men Vanya"

" You are provoking"

" Shamelessly you are trying to look beautiful and provoking men."

" Provoking"

"Provoking "

"Provoking"

"Provoking"

"Vanya!" Jhanvi's voice pulled me out from my trance. I suddenly jerked when she touched my shoulder.

She looked at my face with concern. "Vanya! Are you okay? You are looking like you are about have a panic attack" she said now panicking.

I shook my head in no. "Le- Let's leave." I said. "It's ok if you-" "No it's fine. Let's leave." I told her giving her a smile and we climbed the car after bidding my kinds and parents good bye.

Jhanvi's POV:

Traffic jams are worst .. that too in Hyderabad. Time will fade away like nothing.

" I hate traffic." I said to Vanya who just chuckled. " I agree but just look at the sky. It looks beautiful today." She mumbled looking at the dusky sky now.

I chuckled at her. She always likes stars, moons and night. She always looks at stars when she is disturbed.

Soon I saw traffic clearing. I started the car and we again started our journey.

" Why didn't you bring both of them" I asked pointing on kids.

"I don't want them to see the drama there. You know na. How difficult it's to bare all those shitty comments" she said and I nodded.

Later we passed time singing the songs and laughing for something or other thing. Soon we reached Venue...

Vanya's POV:

Me and Jhanvi both got out of the car and I smiled looking at the wedding board of Neha.

We both started going inside and in between i saw some business partners and talked with them before moving towards Mrs. Niyati. She is busy with all the works.

The always buissines woman now can be seen like a worried mother. I actually see so many similarities between her and my mother. Both are strict yet sweethearts. She is wearing a red colour saree with big golden border. Big golden dots adorned the saree.

A smile adorned her lips as soon she saw me and Jhanvi. She rushed towards us and pulled us in a hug.

"I thought my daughters forgot me. " She said. "Well how can we when it's our little sister's big day?" K told her and she kissed my temple. "where are your kids?" She asked. "I don't want people here to create a drama. But don't worry I will bring them for the upcoming lunch meeting." I said giving her an assuring smile.

She smiled and Jhanvi asked where is Neha. She pointed to room beside the mandap. So it is the bride room... I thought and me and Jhanvi moved towards the room.

I knocked on the door and a girl opened the door. Looking at me and giving me a pointed look she gave us the way as I glared at her. People and their judgement.

I saw Neha moving here and there looking tensed. She looked at me and without any warning she pushed herself on me. "Oh my god di! Finally you showed up!" She exclaimed.

"What happened Neha? You are looking quite tensed." Said Jhanvi.

"Iam tensed " she mumbled and her friends rolled their eyes. "For what you are tensed?" I asked her. "What if I messes up everything?" She asked and Jhanvi chuckled. "Nothing like that will happen. Just be calm and remember all the good moments you spent with him." She said and after consoling her for sometime some aunties came and took her to the mandap as the muhurat ( auspicious time) came.

I went down the mandap as I got a phone call suddenly I bumped into someone and is about fall down but those arms secured me tightly in their arms...
