I am sitting in a room in the venue all alone being bored as hell. My makeup and dress and hair are all done and everybody has just left me alone in here and my mobile is also not with me. Mummy took it with her during my makeup was getting done. My lehenga is blue with silver work on it. Its really pretty and I would say I am looking very beautiful.
"Bua" I heard a voice and turn around. I smile seeing Kavya, she is my cousin's daughter and she is just 4 years old. She was standing at the door playing with her dress. I call her towards me.
"You are looking very cute" I said holding her hands and helping her seat next to me
"Mumma dressed me up. Do you like my hair pin." she said showing me her bow style hair pin and I chuckled. She is just so cute.
"Yes I like it" I said smiling at her and moving my hands in her hair
"You are matching with fufaji. You both are wearing blue" she said playing with my dupatta and I looked at her with little confusion
"Which fufaji?" I ask fixing her clip and she holds my arm.
"The new fufaji. Your one" she said with acute smile and took the blush brush from the table and started playing with it
"You saw him" I ask taking the brush from her before she gets pink all over
"Yes we went to his room" she said and I pouted. I also want to see him. Mom entered my room before I could ask her something else about him and she checked me from head to toe with a smile on her face.
"You are looking very beautiful. My kid is going to get married" she said getting emotional. I stand up and hug her after putting Kavya down beside me slowly.
"Mummy don't cry now. I will cry if you cry and then my makeup will be ruined" I said now on the verge of crying too.
"Don't cry both of you. We don't want to ruin the makeup" Priyanka said coming in and looking at us. I separated from the hug and looked at Priyanka with a sad face. She hugged me and then looked at my makeup and fixed my lehenga before we all left the room. Mummy holds my hand and we start heading towards the venue as it is time for my entry now. Kavya is holding Priyanka's hand.
We reach the hall and my entrance song plays. Everyone turns around to look at me and I start feeling nervous thinking about all of them. I look up at the stage and he was not there. My eyes roam around the whole venue but I cannot seem to find him. Where is he? He should have been here before me.
I reach near the stage and start climbing the stairs. Priyanka was helping me with my lehenga, when I felt someone hold my right hand I look there and see him walking beside me. He is looking very handsome as usual. He is wearing a blue kurta and overcoat matching me. Priyanka leaves my side as she sees him helping me. I am still looking at him. How can a man look so perfect? He turns around and smiles at me. There goes my heart. I smile back at him
"You look beautiful" he whispers in my ear and a shiver runs through my body. I smile at his comment and look down
"Am I looking handsome and sexy today too" he whispers again in my ear. I shift my gaze from floor to his face hearing him and he laughs. I blush and look down at the floor again
"Cute" he said very slowly shaking his head. We settle down on the sofa and some rituals were supposed to happen before the engagement. Ritual of Tilak(its a ritual in which some gifts are gifted to groom and his family) started and I was asked to leave the stage. I settle down with Abhinav, who was sitting on the first row.
"You were blushing so much, Navi" Abhinav said laughing and teasing me. I gave him a look of 'do you wanna die' and he shuts his mouth for a second and again starts teasing me
I was called to the stage then for another ritual of godh bharai(its a ritual in which gifts are given to the bride by groom's family) that took place. Arjun was now asked to leave the stage. After both of these rituals got completed it was finally time for the ring exchange.
I and Arjun stand facing each other. Everyone was asked to leave the stage only the ring bearers were standing. My cousin sister, Pragya didi and Akshit bhaiya were the only ones on the stage beside us with our rings.
I offer my hand to him first and he made me wear the ring. It is a simple gold ring with a diamond in between. I love it. I smile up at him and he offered his hand to me and I made him wear the ring. I bought a simple platinum ring for him. I hope he likes it.
"The ring is beautiful" I said as we settle on the sofa on the stage. It was time for all the friends and family photographs
"Mine is also very beautiful" he said and holds my hand in his and I blush looking at our hands
