Teja POV:-
I woke up when rays fell on my face.
I opened my eyes and looked at the window.
I bowed at the sun and stood from the day.
These days are so special for me.
Today is my engagement ceremony.
The engagement ceremony starts at 6 pm.
But guests will come before the engagement starts.
I was in deep thoughts when I heard the door knock.
" Come in. " I said.
Mumma, mom, mummy Ji, Aunt, Manvi bhabhi, Kavita, and Akaansha bhabhi entered the room with a smile.
I looked at them with a smile and said, " Good morning, everyone. How do you come here together? "
They looked at each other with a smile. I looked at them in confusion.
" Haven't you forgotten something, Teja? " Mummy Ji asked.
" What did I forget? I don't know. " I replied with confusion.
They chuckled, and Manvi bhabhi said, " Look at her, mom. I mean she is going to bride. Today is her engagement, and she forgot the most important thing.
What people said is truly right.
A genius person always remembers everything about their profession but forgets everything about their personal life. "
Everyone laughed, and I looked at her with confusion.
" Bhabhi, I don't understand what you are saying. Please speak clearly. " I said, and she came towards me and caught my shoulders.
" What event today is? " She asked.
" My Engagement ceremony with Akaash. " I replied with confusion.
" So, what are you going to wear? " She asked.
" I will wear- " I was about to reply, but then something clicked into my mind, and I looked at them with shock.
" I don't have anything to wear for today's event. Oh, God. I am the bride, and I didn't order anything for today's event. How can I forget this important thing? " I muttered while cursing myself for forgetting such an important thing. Everyone chuckled while looking at me.
" Finally, our bride reminds her dress. Thank God!
Else, she will come in her old-fashioned clothes in her engagement. " Akaansha bhabhi said, and everyone chuckled.
" Girls, don't tease our bride now. " Mummy Ji ordered and came towards me with a smile.
" Teja, we called a fashion designer. He will come here with some dresses, and you can choose your engagement, haldi, and Mehendi dresses.
As for your wedding dress, you need to tell him what type of dress you want? He will sew it and send it here in two days. Okay? " Mummy Ji said, and I hugged her.
" Thank you, mummy Ji. Sorry, I forgot about dresses. " I replied, and she cupped my face with a smile.
" It's okay, dear. I can understand.
After all, all these things are happening so fastly. " Mummy Ji said and kissed my forehead.
I smiled.
" Okay, okay. We get me, mom, you love your new bahu ( Daughter-in-law ). But We are also your bahu. " Akaahsha bhabhi said, and everyone laughed.
Mom gestured Manvi and Akaansha bhabhi to join our hug, and we hugged each other.
I broke our hug and asked, " So, when will this designer come? "
" He will come in an hour. " Mom replied, and I nodded.
" Okay, then I will come downstairs in half an hour. I have to take a shower now. " I said, and they nodded in understanding and left the room.
I went to the bathroom and did my business.
Then, I went to the wardrobe and wore a full sleeve warm t-shirt and black leggings.
I comb my hair and fix them in a messy bun.
I went downstairs, and I saw everyone was at the dining table.
I greeted everyone, and we ate our breakfast.
After some time, that fashion designer entered with his workers and brought many dresses.
He looked at me with excitement.
" Ms. Teja Narayan, or should I say, Ms. Lily Smith, president of Life Care Hospital?
I am so happy to see you.
I am glad that I got the chance to make your wedding lehenga.
You are my ideal. Can I have your autograph? " He said all this in his one breath.
Everyone chuckled while looking at him.
I smiled while feeling weird.
" Sure! " I said, and he smiled and jumped in excitement.
He held my hand and said, " Thank you! Thank you so much, Ms. Smith. "
I felt uncomfortable. I tried to leave my hand, but he didn't leave my hand.
Akaash came and threw his hand away from my hand and said with possessiveness, " Mr. Designer, I think I would like it if you don't touch my soon-to-be-wife. "
I looked at him, and he smiled.
His possessiveness isn't like Tanish.
He believes in me.
His possessiveness is a protective type of possessiveness, and I love it.
I smiled at him while that designer said, " I am sorry, Dr. Akaash. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just I am a big fan of her. "
Akaash looked at him with a smile and said, " It's okay. But think about your actions next time. "
After his threat, he left with his brothers.
I turned my face towards the designer and asked, " Mr. Designer, can you show me my dresses? "
He nodded with a smile and showed me more than 25 dresses.
I looked at them and chose five dresses for me.
Mom, mummy Ji, Mumma, Aunt, Manvi bhabhi, and Akaansha bhabhi chose their dresses, and we paid him.
I explained to him everything about the wedding dress I wanted.
He noted everything and left.
Then, we left for shopping with males. We had to buy pieces of jewelry and heels for the functions.
Gentlemen need to buy their necessary things.
We came back nearly 3 in the afternoon.
We saw guests start to come for the function.
Aunt called some beauticians, make-up artists, and hairstylists for ourselves.
I went to my room and saw those stylists.
" Can you wait for some time? I want to take shower. " They nodded, and I took a quick shower.
After that, I wore the lehenga and came out from the bathroom.
My lehenga has a full sleeve yellow blouse with a pink lehenga with a pink dupatta.
Dupatta has peacock design borders and some crystals embedded in the net.
I went outside and wore that red heart locket dad gifted me when I turned 17.
I wore my woman accessories.
Then those artists started their work on me.
I closed my eyes and let them do their work.
" Mam, you can open your eyes. " One of them said, and I opened my eyes and looked myself in the mirror,
I am looking beautiful.
They did pink glittery eye make-up. Basically, they did natural make-up on me.
They pinned my dupatta.
I turned towards them and thanked them.
They smiled and left.
I am eagerly waiting for my engagement.
