Paakhi's POV

Ringggg....... Ringggggg..........

I woke up to the ringing of my phone just beside me. The blaring noise in my ears forced me into consciousness.

Opening my eyes first thing that I noticed was our sleeping position on the floor. Yesterday After watching the fifth or sixth movie I and Maanu were on the brink of sleep. But Adi was as usual hyperactive, eating the last batch of Popcorn and singing LET IT GO along with Anna.

And that song straightaway lulled me into sleep.

So it wasn't a big deal when I saw Adi's head lying on my thighs and Maanu's head near Adi's leg with her nose almost touching her feet...

I smiled at myself and captured this moment on my phone which had stopped ringing. As I clicked the capture button on my mobile it made multiple 'click' sounds due to which Adi Woke up and sleepily rubbed her eyes.

Adi was a site to see... Haha... I mean with her hair out of her bun and drool at the corner of her mouth.
She was looking so funny that I captured her photo instantly.

Seeing that I clicked her photo, Aditi jumped toward me..... "Paakhiiiii..... I'll kill you...... Delete that photo right now!"

"Hahaa... Why would I do that? I got a perfect countdown picture... Haha... "I said while running away from her and behind the couch. I mean everyone needs these types of photos for their best friend's bday countdown... In which they look the most beautiful... ;-) .....

"What are you guys shouting about..??" came a sleepy voice from the floor and I noticed Maanu Stretching out.

"Oh, nothing ....just see this picture of Adi here... " I passed my phone to her. "wow... I must say... Adi, you look as beautiful as blobfish... " Maanu said While laughing uncontrollably... After hearing her comment I couldn't control myself and started laughing too.

As we were laughing, we were both smashed with a pillow each and saw Aditi throwing them at us. We tried to protect ourselves but couldn't so we started throwing pillows at her. And here begins our famous pillow fight...

Amid our fighting, my phone started ringing and I reached to pick it up from the floor when both of them attacked me with a pillow. "Hey, it's not fair!!" I shouted and tried to protect myself when my foot slipped and I landed on my back.

Ringgg... Ringggg.....

My phone continued ringing ...SO I instantly crawled towards it and picked it up"Hello..? I said consciously when I saw an unknown number...

"Hi, can I talk to Paakhi please. "the caller said.

"Yes... Paakhi speaking .."

...."Oh hi, Paakhi..! Riya this side ".

"Hi, Riya... How are you? "

.."I'm fine thank you... So actually I called to ask you if you can Come to our house for further discussions about the event you're planning "...

" Of course, we'll be there in two hours"...

"Okay, so I just messaged you our address ...We'll be waiting... See ya! "...

"See ya! "...I hung up and turned to see Maanu and Aditi cleaning our mess from yesterday all the while listening to my conversation.

"So meeting in an hour. " I said to Maanu. "Okay, I'll go and bathe first !" Maanu said leaving the blanket she was folding on the couch and rushing towards her room.

I wagged my head in her direction and resumed cleaning.

"So? It's your off today?" I asked Adi when I noticed the time on the wall clock.

"Ya but I'm going to Zayka as I promised Abby to help in the cafe today. So I won't be able to do the household work today! "she said unable to suppress her triumphant smile.

"Oh really ?! So who's going to do the dishes from yesterday? " I asked in my admonitory tone. She just shrugged and went back to her room.

"Come back, Adi! For god's sake, Why do I have to do all the work in this house?" I whined to myself and started washing dishes.

After doing all the dishes and wiping the counter, I too went to my room to get freshen up and change.

I decided to wear my dark blue skinny jeans and a white top paired with my sneakers. I decided to let my hair down in its natural form.

I exited my room with my clothes in one hand and my towel in another. Just as I was about to knock on the washroom door I saw Maanu standing there wearing dark blue hem flare leg jeans and a white top.

"What took you so long in there?" I asked her. "I always take this much time Paakhi," she said as if I'm mad for asking that question. I ignored her and went inside the washroom.

After getting ready in just 15 min, unlike Maanu. I went into our kitchen to see Aditi preparing breakfast for us. "Clean it before you leave!" I said to her demandingly. She just waved me off and served 2 PBJ sandwiches.

After finishing our breakfast, We hailed a cab to Singh's Mansion.

........................................................................

As we reached Singh's villa it was beautiful...We were awestruck... I mean seriously... I can't even explain it... How beautiful it is... (I can't really explain the exterior or interior but watch the walk-through video for better understanding).

As we reached the gates of the mansion. We were stopped by the security guard and after all the formalities. We were allowed to enter.

After driving for a few minutes on the driveway We exited the car and stood in front of the dark oak gates, which were engraved beautifully with floral Patterns. We didn't have to stand for a second when the gates were opened and We were welcomed by the househelp, who led us inside the house...

As we entered, the first thing we saw was a staircase with a beautiful chandelier above it. On the left side of the staircase was a beautiful lounge room with maroon red sitting.

Househelp asked us to sit and wait for Riya, in the meanwhile I looked around to see two beautiful glass chandeliers hanging above us and a glass doorway through which you can see garden upfront.

I was still admiring the interior of this house when I heard loud clicking of heels on the staircase and a happy squeal from Riya.

I stood up to greet her when she abruptly hugged me. I wasn't expecting a hug and therefore had to regain my balance.

Otherwise, I would have just smashed into Maanu who was right behind me.

"Paakhiii !! Maanya !!! It's so good to see you guys." she said while first hugging me and then hugging Maanu. Woah! Nobody seems as excited to see us as her.

"It's good to see you too," I said while smiling.

And just after she came the other ladies followed. "Hello girls, its good to see you," said Mrs. Tanvi.

After exchanging all the pleasantries we were asked to sit and drink some lemonade. Having something as refreshing as lemonade to drink on a hot day is like a miracle.

I was enjoying my drink and the coolness from its glass When Mrs. Palak looked towards us and started speaking "So girls we have decided to host an engagement party first. And then we will call our priest and fix the right date for the wedding and other programs. "

"Okay, so where are u planning to have the engagement party? And how many guests are we talking about? "Maanu asked.

"Actually we have not decided yet. You guys can suggest us something, as you might have organized these type of events before and you might have connections with those banquet owners "Riya asked us.

I and Maanu looked at each other with uncertainty because we have never organized an event on such a large scale and we surely don't have contacts with those flashy banquet owners.

But we know honesty is the most important thing in business. So with all honesty Maanu looked at them and said "Ma'am with due respect, we are honestly a small event planning company. We are new in this market, we do have organized almost 15 events this year but all of them were small events like a bday or a housewarming party or an anniversary party."

" But we have never organized something this big other than Pari's bday party. "Maanu added in her gentle voice.

I looked at them and saw an uncertainty on Riya's and her mother's face but Mrs.Tanvi maintained a very neutral expression.

I can't let this opportunity pass like this. We have to fight till the end so I said something that is very true and a motive of our company. "I know you guys are uncertain about this but I would like to say one thing before you make up your mind. We might be new in this industry but we know the importance of each and every event that we plan. We know that even if it's a bday party or a business party, both of them hold certain sentiment for that person. So we don't just plan it, we turn your feelings into reality. We know that a specific moment is dear to you and therefore you are celebrating it. So we do everything to make it a success and that is why I would say that we are different from those high- figh companies who just organize the event because it's the part of their job. "

I looked at Maanu and she gave me a proud smile and at that moment I knew that whatever happens today we'll always cherish this moment when we got to know that this is actually what makes us different from others.

I smiled at her and then looked at others. To my surprise, Mrs. Tanvi and Palak were both sitting with a satisfied smile on their faces and Riya was beaming at us.

"Now I know why Pallavi was so adamant to hire you guys as the event planners. And I'm proud of you girls because you didn't give up rather you made us see your point. And most importantly your Honesty won my heart and we believe that you guys will make this event a success. " Mrs. Tanvi said with a smile.

Maanu and I both smiled and thanked them " Now what do you guys suggest we do? " asked Riya.

"First of all, we should decide on the venue and then decorations. So is there any place you want to have your engagement party at? " Maanu asked.

"I think we should have this party at our banquet hall in the office building. "said Mrs.Tanvi.

"An engagement party at the office? " I asked confused. Why would they organize an engagement party at their office?

"Oh no no... Actually, we have a very large and beautiful hall on the ground floor of our office building. It is mostly used for business dinners but it is a very beautiful place and the first place where Abhi and I talked for the first time. " Riya said with a smile. So that place actually holds a very important memory of them.

"Oh okay... we can see this place and then we can decide about decorations and theme further if you don't mind.? " I said with a little uncertainty in my voice.

"Ya, I guess it's fine with us if you want to see it now. " Mrs. Singh said.

I and Maanu looked at each other and decided to see the place today itself so that we can plan or discuss some ideas.

We nodded our head and Riya volunteered to take us there.

We packed our belongings and As we were about to exit the house, I got a call from Uncle Abby that we a have a client waiting to meet us at the café

"Guys I'm sorry I have to leave. There's a client waiting for me at the café". I said in a haste.

"Maanu I'll see you at home. BYE guys." I said walking past them towards the driveway.

Now I regret their big house because I have to walk all the way to their main gate and then hail a cab.
