Ohh my God i am so excited šš
So here we go....
Author's POV
In rajasthan, jaipur.
In the saree showroom, the crowd was not the less the cheerful and excited voices of would be brides were echoing through the showroom.
In the washroom, one woman nearly 25 years standing infront of mirror looking at her reflection, unshed tears, the horror and disgust in her eyes met her own in the mirror.
"What are you doing Drishti..... This is not your life.... It's not what you wanted.... What the fuck you are doing..... "
She was saying to herself but suddenly she heard the voice from outside.
Drishti.... Have akho divas Ander j revu che ke su???....
( Are you going to stay inside the whole day or what???...)
Her mother minakshi maheta shouted from outside in a little frustration as she was waiting there for past 15 minutes.
Drishti quickly wiped her tears away and gathered herself and glanced at her reflection for last time before forcing a smile and went outside.
Sorry mummy... Actually I just started to scroll my phone....
She lied to Minakshi with a almost genuine smile on which Minakshi shook her head in disbelief and said,
Ha... Ha... Sasural jake ye sab mat karna...
( Don't do this in your in law's)
Her smile slightly faded but she quickly regained her forced smile and said,
Ofcourse Mom... Let's go now...
On her words Minakshi's face lighten up and she quickly nodded saying,
Ha... Ha... There's so many beautiful bridal lehenga.... Let's go....
After this they both went to the counter where her brother and her chachi ( aunty) were sitting on chair. Her chachi was rumbling through so many sarees and chaniya cholis for herself while her brother was scrolling in his phone.
They sat on chair and started to select lehenga for Drishti. But they couldn't select one every thing was beautiful and unique.
Suddenly vansh stood up and said in frustration, " okay okay... I got it. You all can't select one dress for di.... I know who can help you on this... "
Saying that he started to video call someone. Every one started to give confused look to each other. Then a soft beautiful voice came from phone,
"Hii gadheda.... How are you.... "
The girl said hearing her words Minakshi and chachi smiled excitedly while Drishti's smile faded at the voice but then something like she convinced herself and smiled softly.
Vansh rolled his eyes and said, shut up siya.... ( Our main lead's entry šš)
He turned phone camera to others.
"Hii... Every one.... I missed you so much guys... "
Siya said excitedly while waving at everyone. Minakshi took the phone from vansh and said in soft voice,
" Siyu.... Kaisi hai tu.... Or tera kam kesa chal raha hai... Aur tu aa kab rahi hai.... You were not in engegment too...."
Siya smiled awkwardly and said, sorry mummy.... You know my work... I have to look after every restaurant.... But don't worry i will be there before Di's marriage.... "
Minakshi nodded slightly and said, "okay beta... But now problem is different... We couldn't choose lehenga for Drishti.... So help us on this.... "
Saying that she turned camera to lehengas. She started to show her lehengas. Drishti also stood up and showed her lehengas on herself. Siya's eyes fell on a beautiful white lehenga with beautiful hand embroidery. She insisted Drishti to pick up that lehenga and said,
" Di, look it's really good... You will look princess in this.... "
As she said that everyone's smile faded into worried expression.
"Su thyu??...." ( What happened) Siya asked in confusion on which Minakshi said, " siyu... Drishti's in law's are really strict with rituals and beliefs... They believes that wearing white or black in marriage is considered as apshagun..."
Siya gave them shock and confused look but Drishti gaya her a " leave it " look on which she didn't said anything.
After like half an hour they finally selected one best outfit for Drishti on her every ritual as per her in law's beliefs.
Every one was on counter and minakshi was paying Bills while vansh and her chachi were gathering bags of outfits.
Finally Drishti and siya were alone to talk with each other. Siya asked Drishti, " what di... I know you don't believe in this apshagun and all... And more than this, black and white are your favourite colours..."
Drishti smiled a little and said," it's okay siya... It's just a marriage... It's not like i won't be able to wear black and white after this.... And it's their beliefs, we should respect it right... "
Siya sighed slightly and said " fine di... Be that way then..." Saying that they both chuckled a little when siya noticed Drishti is bit off. She asked her, " Di... Are you okay... You seem a bit... Upset " Drishti smile faded slightly at her words and said," ofcourse siya, i am perfectly fine... "
Drishti didn't looked at her while saying that and it only fuelled her suspicion. Siya asked quietly,
" Are you happy with this marriage??"
