First gift
Anaisha
It's been almost a month after that accident and I am completely fine now. Vyaan kept his promise and came to meet me daily till I got better. Wedding is in 2 weeks and everyone is going mad over the preps. Even me and Vyaan are tired of daily trails and venue hunting.
The wedding venue got finalized and even are outfits are completely ready. Now I need my life to be packed in a few suitcases and wind up my work at the university as I am taking a months' off for the wedding from next week.
Today Maa, bhabhi and me are going to do some shopping again. I am sick off this shopping.
I was just getting ready, when I got a call from Vyaan.
Hogaye aap free? (You got free?)
Hanji (yes) What are you doing btw?
Just getting ready to leave for market.
Shopping again? Aren't you tired of this? My half of the shopping is done by mom and yet I am so tired.
I am Sick of this shopping and now I am getting irritated, I don't want to go but I have to. I have no other option.
Don't worry Ish. It's just matter of few days then No shopping for a year. Is it fine?
That we will see. Now I am going Bye Vyaan.
Bye Ish.
I quickly came down as maa was calling my name again and again. Our trio reached market and begin hunting for some dresses for maa and bhabhi as my shopping is completely done.
Divyansh
As I hung up the call, I got an idea. I quickly called her mom and asked her permission to steal her from their shopping day. It's been few days since we went out on a date.
I then recalled Nikhil asking us to meet. I called him
Nikhil, come with bhabhi at our favorite cafe. I am also coming with Anaisha.
Okay bro. We will be there in half an hour.
I went to the market place and found her. I went towards her from the back and closed her eyes with my palm.
Vyan?
You recognized me? Ish
Yes Vyaan, but what are you doing here?
I am here to take you somewhere.
Where?
To meet my best friend and his girlfriend.
Suddenly today?
I know Ish you are tired of roaming in the markets and I want you to relax a bit. First I thought only we both will go but then I remembered him asking to meet you. So why not today?
Ok but maa?
I already took her permission.
We both reached the cafe and I saw his car, that's mean he is here. I parked the car and we both went in. She squealed like a child seeing Nikhil's girlfriend. I wonder what's happening here. Soon his girlfriend was in my girlfriend's arms. Ewww it sounds weird. Nikhil gave me a questionable look and I coughed a bit to gain the girl's attention. They separated and we all took the seats.
"Actually this is Shikha my best friend but recently she got a transfer to another branch of the university and we haven't met each other since then."
I was amused by her confession. What a small world we share. We all got engrossed in endless talks and laughs and I kept stealing her glances. We ate and clicked pictures and eventually I dropped her off. She slept on the way back, she was indeed pretty much tired.
Suddenly my world revolves around this girl who never fails to amaze me. Today she sent me gift, a frame of our pictures that we took since our roka day. Be it our roka picture or first date or last week's meeting with Nikhil and Shikha. I called her as soon as I got the parcel.
"I knew you were going to call me. Before you ask me anything listen to me. I made this frame to mark the beginning of our wedding functions, as a memory as a sign of all our precious moments that we have shared before tying into the precious thread of marriage. Today aunty called me saying we can't meet till the wedding except in the functions of course."
I was so awed at her thought. But the second half was irritating, Mom told me same and I don't like whatever she said but we had to listen as it was all part of rituals.
"Ish baby, you are such a cutie. This frame is going on our Memories Wall. Are you sad about not meeting me?"
"A little but nevermind in a week we are getting married and it won't matter afterwards. We will be together."
I smiled unknowingly at the thought of us being together. We are married in my head since she spilled the coffee on us. She hung up the call saying a Bye and I was still caught up in my thoughts until Chachu knocked on the door.
I got up from the bed and asked him to sit. He saw the frame lying on bed followed by a teasing smile.
"She gifted me." I said clearing the awkward air. Chachu has always been my friend since childhood but I am still awkward to talk about Love and Marriage and all.
"Relax Divy. I am not eating you up. I just came to give you an advise, it is all up to you to follow it or not." Chachu said in a serious tone.
"What is it Chachu? Just tell me."
"You are getting married next week and she will be leaving her home, her parents, her everything just to be with you. It is going to be you responsibility to make her feel at home, take care of her and most importantly express yourself after all communication is the key to every relationship be it friendship or marriage. I hope you are trying to understand my point." He ended his little talk while getting up from the bed and patting my back lightly.
"I got you Chachu, I will always keep her happy and together all of us will make her feel at home." As I said he gave me a smile and left the room.
I went to the closet to dress up for my engagement today.
Anaisha
Again the same alcohol drama. I am just so sick of it. Tonight is our engagement and yet my parents can't stop fighting over little things. Maa hid his bottles so that he is sober in the function but he keeps on demanding the bottles. I broke down seeing the scene in front of my eyes. I fell on my knees and continue to sob until my mother saw me.
They both came running towards me and hugged me. Even if they fight a lot but they are always there for me.
"I won't marry him." I declared between the sobs.
