Ditya’s POV

Next morning mahi bhai and sakshi picked me up from my house. I chose to ware an off white anarkali dress. As we all reached the airport we clicked lots of pictures some for media and cameras and some for ourselves. All of us were really excited about this wedding. We all were in our happiest moods. I missed virat in fact we all missed him and the entire team but we knew the importance of what they are doing right now.

We all reached Chandigarh in 3 hours and reached the hotel booked for the ceremonies. There gona be 4 ceremonies. Haldi, mehndi, sangeet, the wedding followed by a reception in Delhi. Tomorrow is first ritual the haldi ceremony. We all got settled in our rooms and decided to take some rest as we will not get much time from tomorrow onwards till the wedding ends.

I was watching the match. India just started to bat and the fall of the wicket and there he comes. Dressed in all white. His face has a different expression unlike he keeps off field. He is a different person all together. His face was reflecting firmness, confidence, passion and aggression. I saw him playing shots after shots effortlessly. He completed his half century and then century. He just took his helmet of and thanked his mom dad i was so sure about this. And then he raised his bat towards the 20 thousand people watching him playing in the stadium. He just smiled a bit and continued playing his magnificent innings. He was 147* at the stumps. 

After the match i decided to take a nap and i over slept. I woke up by a call from sakshi to join them for dinner. I went down uninterested and sleepy. Just had quick dinner and came back to my room. I was way to tired for anything. As soon as i came to my room i got a text from Virat. I noticed he had called me twice.

V: hope you have reached safe. Enjoy to the fullest. Take care of yourself and call me if possible and if you get some time. Did i mentioned you look pretty in Indian dresses as well.

I blushed at his comment. But wait how come he know? He must have seen the pictures. Of curs. They are all over the internet and tv right now.

Instead of typing a reply  i called him.

V: oh! Someone finally remembers me. I am blessed

D: nothing like that. And well played caption. Very proud of you.

V: thanks. So how’s everything going?

D: all good. Everyone is missing you guys.

V: same here. We will try to be there for the wedding.

D: yeah just score a double ton for me please.

I rather ordered.

V: your wish my command madam.

D: ok now go to sleep you have a double ton to score tomorrow. 

V: Good night. Take care.

D: you too. All the best.

V: Thanks.

Virat’s POV

It was match day today. We were in the bus to stadium from hotel. I have this habit of not using my phone and not connecting to world 4 5 hours before the match. I use that time to get myself completely into the game and the strategy. I was not aware about the pictures of Yuvi’s wedding over the internet. Just then i over heard a conversation.

Hardik: she is so pretty man.

Rahul: she is truly beauty with brains.

I tried to look at the picture they were drooling over. It was Ditya in a white anarkali dress. She was looking extremely beautiful no doubt. But i didn’t liked them passing such comments still i ignored them looking at the situation and time.

Game wise the day went well for us. I scored my 15th test hundred today completed my 4000 test runs. I was beyond happy. I called ditya but she didn’t picked up i just left a message to her. She called me in next 15 min and asked me to get a double ton and come to the wedding. My day felt complete all the happiness felt more special after talking to her.

Author’s POV

Next day was haldi rasam. The turmeric past is being applied to the bride as well as the groom. Ditya chose a light yellow lehnga for the day. She was looking beautiful as ever. She clicked few pictures and put them up on social media mot for everyone to see but for that special some one don’t know why she felt like his appreciation was must for her.  All of them enjoyed the ceremony. That also included lots of teasing from sakshi and friends to Ditya. As she should also get married now.

On the other hand virat did scored a double ton. And dedicated it to her openly. Stating that its for his best friend ditya. All went gaga over it and pulled her leg even more. All she could do was blush to add to that virat has also commented on her picture. “ Stunning as ever. I can’t even blink my eyes.” She wondered what’s up with him these days he use to be such a shy guy and now he is being so outgoing about his feelings.

She was getting endless calls from different people for her comment on what virat said. She ignored them all.

All of them practised there moves for sangeet a bit and then retired to there rooms tired.

Next day was no different. The mehndi was done. She at first didn’t wanted to get the mehndi on her hands but after lots of convincing done by sakshi and friends she gave up and got mehndi on both of her hands.

On virat’s end the match was in very good shape and India was about win it. After the match that day. He saw her pictures with mehndi on and she was looking the most beautiful woman on the earth to him. In all these days of knowing her and these wedding photos. He have noticed she never wears colours. Colours as in bright colours. She always wears black white greys or pestle colours while everyone in the wedding was going all bright she managed to look different yet beautiful with her choice of colours. 

After the mehndi and a bit of dance practice for sangeet they all went in to there respective rooms.

The next day in the morning they all were busy with the preparation of sangeet.

Yuvi’s Mom: oh look your mehndi has got such a nice colour ditya. This indicates that your future husband will love you a lot.

D: thanks aunty.

Yuvi: Haan our cheeku is very romantic.

D: yuvi bhai please not again.

Mahi: yeah yeah you are telling us. Why don’t you go and tell your lover boy who is coming out in public and dedicating his hundreds to you?

Sak: lucky girl.

Hazel: we don’t have a problem to get you two married on the same day as ours. What say guys?

Bhajji paji: only if virat comes.

D: guys not again.  How many time we have told you we are just friends.

Yuvi’s mom: bs karo tum sab. Stop teasing my baccha.

Yuvi’s mom said glaring at all. And they all stopped.

D: thanks aunty.

Ditya got ready in a golden lehnga for the sangeet. It was not the kind of dress she would have chosen but thanks to her best friend here she is. She just looked at herself one more time and went downstairs were every one was gathered for the sangeet.

The sangeet started with few random cousin’s of yuvraj and hazel dancing to Bollywood numbers. Then it was the time for the couple themselves. They danced to the song gerua from dilwale. All the other couples danced to romantic Bollywood numbers. It was now ditya’s turn. She came to the dance floor with yuvraj and harbhajan as she didn’t had a dance partner they both decided to be her dancing partners. They danced to the song Kala chashma from baar baar dekho.

Virat’s POV

We won the match even before the lunch. All of us were excited to head to Chandigarh for the wedding. While others decided to take some rest and take the late night flight i took the first flight available to be there with my friends like family. After all they are only one i have after my parents. I wanted to surprise everyone. I just told mahi bhai about my arrival.

When i reached the hotel the sangeet was already started. I went the room changed real quick into a golden kurta and joined them.

When i entered the venue I saw the first thing I wanted to see. There she was. Dancing to the tunes with yuvi pa and bhajji pa by her side. She looked perfect in that golden attire. Her mehndi was dark. I guess that is why sakdhi bhabhi got me this golden kurta.I wonder what god must be thinking while creating her. Perfection personified.

So what had happened is i called mahi bhai and informed about my early arrival. He told it to sakshi bhabhi and she has came up with a plan. Her plans are really weird at times. Anyways time for the execution of the plan.

I walked closure to the dance floor no one really noticed me as it was all dark and the spot light was just on the dance floor and everyone was busy enjoying the performance.

There song was about to finish and yuvi pa just rolled her and kind of pushed her towards the corner of the stage where i was standing and she landed perfectly in to my arms. We looked at each other for a couple of seconds and then the song changed. I held her hand and dragged her to the dance floor. It was just me and her now. We danced to the song Cutie pie From ae dill hai mushkil. Sakshi bhabhi wanted us to do a romantic song but i was not sure how comfortable she would be so i asked for a peppy number.

Everyone was surprised. Specially Ditya. I was the last thing she was expecting to see. I can see her eyes beaming with happiness. Its not that she wanted me to be the part of the wedding because of her but also she knew how i loved yuvi pa and wanted to be there with him on his big day.

After the performance we all danced like crazy on random Punjabi numbers till we were exhausted. 

Ditya’s POV

I woke up late this morning. I was sitting in my bed thinking about the last night. I was dancing and suddenly yuvi bhai pushed me towards the other side of the stage. I closed my eyes in anticipation that i will fall really hard but no that didn’t happened rather i bumped into something really strong and nicely scented. Wait! I know this smell. Is he here? I opened my eyes to see him smiling at me before i can register anything in my mined he dragged me to dance floor. I must say i am impressed with his dancing skills and yeah did i mentioned he was looking very hot in that golden kurta.

I was lost in my own thoughts, i got a call...

V: Kaha thi tum? I am calling you for past 15 min.

D: sorry i was sleeping. I was exhausted i over slept.

V: Thats ok! Now get ready we have to leave for gurudwara for the wedding.

D: give me 20 min.

V: ok make it quick.

I took shower and changed into a red and white anarkali suit.

Virat’s POV

She as always was looking mesmerising. We went to the gurudwara where the marriage took place. The rest of the team joined us to. I was so happy for Yuvraj paji and hazel. Its a great feeling to see your best friend get married to the love of his life. The ceremony lasted for around an hour or two and then we all came back t hotel where we had our dinner together. The reception was to be held in Delhi which neither me nor Ditya. Me beacuse we have a match in Mumbai now and she because she is leaving for France for some important meeting. After dinner we took a flight to Mumbai in fact the entire team. Ditya was leaving for France tomorrow night.

All we had was the time during the flight to catch up with each other.
