Parineeti's POV_

I was dressed in a yellow cotton saree. Well so was everyone it was Shree's holud kota. Basically five or seven married women will grind turmeric with mortar and pestle and anoint Shree.

"Shree you ready?" I asked as I entered her room.

"Well just a minute! I need to fix these bloody flowers in my ears!" Shree groaned. In bengali wedding the bride has to wear 'holud' which means yellow saree in the traditional bengali away and has to wear ornaments made by red roses.

Yes! It means you have to hand roses on your forehead, wrist, neck and ears.

"Aww! You look beautiful! Karo nojor jeno na lage! (I hope no one casts evil eye on you!)" I said and took a little kohl and anoint behind her ear.

"Are you serious? You too?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up!" I said and started wearing my earrings.

"No seriously! Stop staying with ma! She is making you like her!" She said.

"Done! Chup kor ar ready ho taratari! ( shut up and get ready fast!)" I said and left the room.

As I was walking to the courtyard. I heard someone wolf whistle. I turned around and saw it Varun. I rolled my eyes at him. He was wearing white kurta.

"You look beautiful!" I smiled and blushed a little.

"and that waist is super!" He added and winked at me. I looked at my waist and quickly hid with my pallu.

"Chee varun! Don't you have any shame?" I said. Varun shook his head with a smug smile on his lips.

"Please! You can't expect me to behave after watching that!" He said while pointing at my waist.  I glared at him.

"Pari!" Ma yelled.

"Coming!" I yelled back.

"Have some shame!" I said and ran to mom.

****

The holud kota ceremony was done. It was time for us to apply turmeric on Shree. Everyone had their chance and now it was mine.

I wagged my eyebrows at her.

"Why am I feeling scared?" She asked in an unsure voice.

"Because you should be!" I said and smeared the whole bowl of turmeric on her face.

"Pari!" She yelled but I was busy laughing mu ass off.

"Oh pari! My favourite sister!" Shree said and hugged me tightly. The turmeric was also on my body. And it started to react. I felt like my body was on fire.

"I need to go take a shower! Bye!" I said and ran from there.

"Nuh huh! You can't until the bride doesn't shower!" Masi said and I groaned.

"This is the thing I hate about holud! "I yelled. Everyone started laughing. Everyone stopped except one guy. I walked to him.

"You think its funny?" I asked varun.

"Very!" He said while laughing.

"Okay then!" I hugged him, passing the turmeric on his body.

"No matter how much it burns! I am loving it!" He exclaims and I immediatly let go off him.

"Awhh I was having fun!" He pouted and I glared at him.

*****
"Pari?" I heard varun calling me. I went to him and asked him what happened.

"Mom is asking for you!" He said. I knitted my eyebrows together.I took the phone from him and placed it on my ear.

"Namaste Aunty!" I greeted.

"Awh please don't call me aunty! Call me mom!" She said and my eyeballs almost popped out of the socket.

"M-mom?" I stuttered. Hearing mom, Varun's eyes were as wide as me.

"Yes mom! Pari I wanted to ask if you want to marry my nikamma ( useless) son?" She asked so sweetly that I couldn't say no to her. I took a deep breathe.

Its a do or die time parineeti!

"Yes mom!" I blurted out.

"OMG! I just can't believe it! Rishi will be so happy! I will come to your house as soon you reach mumbai! I'll love you like my own daughter baby!" She kept ranting. I smiled big.

"I know mom!" I said.

"Give the phone to varun! I need to talk to him now" she said.

"Mom wants to talk to you!" He had confusion written all over his face. He took the phone.

Just as I expected. He had shock written all over his face.

"Mom I'll call you later!" He said and disconnected the call.

"Par-" I cut him off.

"Shh" I went on my one knee. Which was damn hard in saree. I took his right hand in both of my hands.

"Mr.Varun Singhania, you are the most annoying, irritating guy that  exists on earth and also the most loveable, adorable and understanding guy that exists on earth. You have always stood by my side, no matter how much I pushed you away. I know I've broken your heart yet you didn't make me realise it for a second. You understood when to give me space and when to bugg the hell out of me.You have made fall in love with you. Do you still love me? Will you make me your Mrs.Singhania, Mr.Singhania?" I asked him. Okay now my knees are starting to pain.

"My knees are hurting and I am in a saree!" I added. He smiled and bit his tongue. He came to my level and took both of my hands in his hands.

"Only if you wear this sexy cotton sarees all the time!" He said. I pretended to think.

"Umm that's a tough decision to take!"

"Oh please Mrs. To be singhania!" He begged. I cracked a smile.

"Okay! Mr.Singhania!" I said and we both got up.

"And yes! I still love you! And will love you till my last breathe!" He said and kissed my knuckles.

"May we kiss Mrs. Soon to be singhania?" He asked and I blushed.

"Var-" I was cut of by his index finger on my lips.

"Oh shush!" He removed the fingers from my lips and replaced with his lips.

I smiled into the kiss. God! It felt so right!
