[ Lethologica] (n.); When you can't think of a word for something.
Asha
The plan of preponing the wedding was a success and soon Haniya's wedding will happen in a few hours.
For two days, Amma and Papa haven't spoken to me until it's necessary. But I know other family members are convincing them to look at their favourable biases towards Nina and me.
Which is working and making me happy. Maybe the fight was a good thing to happen after all.
" Asha," Haniya called me out to the present where she is beautifully dressed as a bride.
" How do I look?" She asked happily.
" Beautiful... Edward will not let go of you the whole night," I tease to which she laughs loudly.
" I hope so," I was surprised to hear a comment like that. She wasn't a shy person but she wasn't ready mentally before. Now, she is ready to marry again and this time on her own terms.
" How does it feel to get married again?" I whisper to her as I hugged her because the make-up artist was in the room.
"It feels the same but this time there is happiness and excitement," Haniya whispered back.
" Let's go for your solo photo shoot," I announced as we walked out of the room.
I book a room from a nearby hotel so Haniya and I could get ready there and take some pictures before coming to Gurudawa where the Sikh wedding will be.
Mohid Chacha, Seher Chachi and Disha arrived in the middle of the Photoshop. Chacha and Chachi got emotional seeing Haniya dressed as a bride.
" I can't believe she is a few hours away from being single to married," Disha exclaimed with a look of disbelief.
" I never thought she could be the first one to get married among us," I muttered smiling in disbelief as well.
" Where are your other sisters? I thought they would be coming with you," I asked.
" Luv will bring Yasmin, Anaya and Hoor for a family photo shoot. They were getting ready and Dad couldn't wait for them any longer," Disha answered.
After the photo shoot, Luv drive Haniya, Chacha and Chachi in his decorated car. While, Disha, Yasmin, Anaya, Hoor and I drive in Disha's car to Gurudawa.
" Disha, when will you get married?" Hoor asked.
" Why are asking this question now? Do you want to get rid of me quickly?" Disha questioned back.
" Yeah, I want to attend another royal wedding," Hoor replied.
" That will be a kitsune royal wedding," Anaya excitedly muttered.
" The wedding won't look like a royal one. We don't want other people to have suspicious of us," Yasmin muttered.
" That's right, I want a super simple wedding," Disha said.
" But the non-humans know we aren't normal people so why behave like that," Hoor mumbled.
" In the human world, we are normal people...," Hoor interrupt me saying,
" Even in the human world, we aren't normal. Our Dads own million worth business and their business partners are top riches people in India. So it's expected to have lavish and expensive functions for us,"
" Who told you all this?" I asked though I know the name.
" Nina," Hoor answered nervously.
" Listen, Hoor, we have a comfortable lifestyle but that doesn't mean we should be prideful and arrogant about it," I said as I take a glance from the rearview mirror and notice Yasmin rolling her eyes.
She and Nina have a similar mindset on life which Disha and I disagree while Haniya has always been in the middle. As some opinions she agrees and others don't. She is a Switzerland in our team.
" Dude, are we late?" Yasmin asked seeing the guests have already arrived. Which is an impossible thing in an Indian wedding.
" No, they are early, " Disha muttered as we got out of the car.
As I step out of the car, I smell Rohan's aura along with his family members.
" I will say hello to Jigar Uncle and Kinjal Aunty then join you," I said to my cousins.
" Hello, Aunty," I greeted Kinjal Aunty first with a hug.
" Hello, Asha, I wanted to meet you to give you this... Rohan and Roshini forgot to mention these bangles before," Kinjal Aunty took out a box containing gold bangles.
" This family bangles that started from me is now yours. I always like the idea of family heirloom jewellery but neither Jigar nor I had a family. So I had to start the tradition, " Kinjal Aunty explained showing me the bangles.
" I love it, Aunty. And I totally agree with you about family heirlooms, I always liked it. Thank you," I muttered as I wore the bangles. The design was neutral so it went well with my outfit.
Throughout the wedding ritual, I was ignoring Edward's family even Charlotte and Elisabeth as I will go out of control talking to them.
" I can't wait for our wedding with mate," Astra purred.
" It will take at least a year, Astra," I muttered back.
" What!" She roared expectedly.
" Listen, we can't marry quickly. We don't have time for it," I explained and then blocked her as the wedding was completed and we walked out of the hall.
" Asha," Jigar-Uncle called me out as he was talking to two men with dangerous auras.
" This is Asha, my future daughter-in-law. And Asha, they used to be old friends and are now business rivals. Mahendra and Gaurav," Jigar Uncle sounded jokingly but his aura was serious. After saying their name, I remembered Papa's file which had their names and photos.
So they are connected to the Malhoras. Mahendra and Gaurav chuckled and said,
" Come on, Jigar. We never were the snake friends of the group,"
Astra's ears perk up at the mention of snakes. Before I could ask something, Rohan comes and wraps his arms around me as he greeted the two men.
" Rohan, Jigar told us you are moving back to India to open another branch of your business. If you don't mind sharing your plans?" Gaurav asked.
" There isn't much to share. My partners and I thought it was time to expand our business in India," Rohan mumbled.
" Why didn't you start at India itself?" Mahendra asked.
" We tried but it didn't work out... It was like someone is stopping the business to start," Rohan answered making Mahendra feel nervous.
" Excuse us," Rohan then pulled me away from the men and whispered.
" They aren't really friends of ours but Malhoras. They spy on us for them,"
" Why are they after us?" I asked.
" It's related to their past which my parents aren't sharing anything," Rohan said and smiling compliment me,
" You are glowing today,"
" Thank you," I said back as I smile brightly.
" Edward's Mother is coming towards us," Rohan informed me as I started to feel her presence.
" Asha, how are you doing?" Amelia asked as I turn to look at her.
" Surprisingly, you didn't talk so I came to ask. Is everything okay?" Amelia asked another question giving a kind face which I used to take as genuine.
" It's just the wedding is exhausting after all I'm managing it," I lied smiling back.
" Well, maid of honours always is exhausted at the end. Take a rest and enjoy the Christian wedding," She said placing her hand on my arm.
" Obviously, " I mumbled thinking of a distraction.
" I will go and talk to Queen Disha about her marriage to King Saraj," Amelia then walked away making me feel relaxed a bit.
" So Disha's wedding is confirmed," Rohan asked.
" Yesterday, she said yes to the proposal. Saraj wants the wedding in six months which Disha agreed," I shared the news.
" Wow, back-to-back wedding sounds fun," Rohan commented.
" You like to attend weddings?" I asked surprisingly.
" Of course, wedding foods are the best. I used to crash weddings during my university time with my friends, " Rohan answered.
" Why didn't you ever share that with me," I tried to hide my feeling of hurt.
" Because I didn't want you to think of me in different ways, " Rohan muttered.
" Why would you think like that?" I asked instinctively.
" I had low confidence before," Rohan shrugged his shoulders as he mumbled.
" Do you know Geeta and her sibling's power?" Rohan questions.
" No, I didn't have the time to talk to her or Guru Ji. But Disha did before the shifting," I answered.
" Geeta was able to convince Roshini to shift her sisters. Did you know that?" I was shocked to hear Rohan.
" But they are underage," I objected.
" Apparently, Sunshinner used to shift at the age of sixteen so in that logic, Sita and Maya are in the age of shifting," Rohan explained.
" Why did Roshini listen and shifted them?" I question as I try to find her.
" She said Guru Ji support the idea so she went along with it, " Rohan clarified.
" What are their powers?" I asked helplessly.
" Geeta has the power of Earth and Sita has fire powers. Maya and Krish have air and water power," Rohan revealed.
