The next morning when we woke up we were sleeping on each other. Leena's head was on Shreyas chest, Shreyas legs were Jeet's legs, Jeets head between my chest and tummy and my hands were almost hugging Leena.

When I woke up I found us all sleeping in these weird positions. I slowly tried to get up hoping not to wake up Jeet or anyone else but to my disappointment, I woke Jeet up since he was sleeping on me.

"Hey Good Morning" I whispered and signaled him to keep his voice low pointing my fingers towards sleeping Shreyas and Leena.

"Good Morning" he whispered back and kissed my forehead. He took my hand and took me to the balcony after making sure there was no one around.

"Finally after 3 days I can wake up to this beautiful view in front of me every day and don't need to hide from paparazzi." He said as he kissed my cheeks and my cheeks had a light shade of pink appearing.

"I love it when you turn into this delicate and shy doll around me and turn all pink for me." He said while his thumb caressed my cheek.

"Enough of the romance, we have to get ready quickly, everyone will be arriving at the hotel in a few hours. Moms and Grandpa will be here at 11:00 AM. Don't forget we have our haldi and Mehendi ceremony today. A lot of work is there for us to finish before that." I said and he frowned.

"Nobody can ruin romantic mood better than you, do you know that?" he said and I giggled at his childish behavior. He looked so cute when he made that pouted face, I kissed his cheek and as I was about to turn and leave he crashed his lips on mine with a little urgency and roughness. After a few minutes we parted and I slapped him playfully on his arm for not warning me.

The next few hours went by very quickly looking after the arrangements and welcoming his family and friends since I didn't invite anyone from my extended family.

Since my dad died, none of our family members cared about us and after the incident with my paternal uncle when he forced himself on me, we cut all ties with my paternal family. The only family we were in touch with was my maternal uncle who died a few years back. So we had no family only friends who were like family. Leena and her family were the only ones we were closed to.

Pretty much whole hotel was full of Jeet, Shreyas and Leena's family, and friends.

It was time for haldi, Leena and I reached the ceremony hall dressed in a light yellow look-alike Patiala salwar suit. I saw my mom, Leena's friends and family in the hall but there was no sign of Jeet, Shreyas or their family and friends.

"Come beta, both of you sit here on these stools. We will start the ceremony in a few minutes." Leena's mom said and realized we were still looking around.

"The people you both are looking for are not here. Grandpa said he wants is the traditional way hence all the functions except the wedding will be done separately for groom side and bride side." Leena's mom said and we both nodded in embarrassment.

Soon all the females of Leena's family and my mom were putting haldi on our face and body while singing wedding songs. We were about to get up when Shriya Mom, Shreyas's mom along with few other girls and ladies came, they also put haldi on me and Leena. Then Shriya mom introduced us to all the ladies who came along with her, they were Shreyas and Jeet's aunts, cousins and sister in laws.

After an hour of talking and dancing, they went back to the hall where all the functions for Jeet and Shreyas were happening and I along with Leena and one of her cousins Drishti came to our room to take shower and get dressed for Mehendi.

Once we were dressed in Green colored sarees, we went back to the hall with Drishti. All the cousins from not only Leena's family but Jeet and Shreyas's family were also there already.

"Hi Bhabhi, we came to celebrate your Mehendi since Abhi Bhaiya said there is no need for a ceremony for them. They just asked our Aunties to write your initials on their hands. I tell you Bhabhi you both are going to be bored for life, both these friends are very boring people." One of Jeet's cousin said making everyone laugh.

Leena and I looked at each other before we joined the laughter.

We were asked to sit on the mattress, Shriya Mom and Shreyas's mom put some mehndi design on the corner of our hand as it was a ritual to start the Mehendi by groom's mom. After that, the Mehendi designer decorated our hands and feet while all the girls and ladies danced on various mehndi songs.
