Manvika's Pov :

I woke up at my usual time and completed my morning routine, watered plants and unknown peace surrounded me by sitting near them. I believe even plants can communicate better than humans, who hurt others with their harsh words. So atleast plants are better. Leaves swing along with wind as they are in love with eachother. Flowers can make someone's day with their mere presence and soothing fragrance. Even though, they live just for one day admiration. I believe spending time with plants is huge therapy for me.

After that I tried some new yoga aasan. When my mood is low I spend time on my self by pampering myself and writing my thoughts to clear my mind. Due to yesterday's incident I need all these things to keep myself sane.

I went down to kitchen, by the time I entered maa has prepared breakfast. I helped bhabhi to settle the dishes on the dining table. Wished papa , Bhai tried casually to communicate with me but I kept it short , as known reasons.

Breakfast was done."be ready in an hour otherwise we will be late to venue, I am going to office to instruct my assistant about work",papa informed us and started to his office.

"Anvi.....behave yourself , don't create a scene with your stubborn behaviour. And don't embarrass, us pack dresses I gave you ",maa warned me.I was about to reply her back but, her one glare is enough to shut my mouth.

I packed my luggage. Everything is done ,we are just waiting for papa to come.After 15 minutes papa came .Papa ,maa and me are going in Papa's car.Bhai and bhabhi in their car.We started.

As car started I plugged my earphones and started to continue with my ongoing book ignoring maa. After sometime I dozed off. May be after sometime car stopped, that made me to wake up from my dreamland with my fictional characters. I immediately realised I am sleeping on maa's shoulder. Suddenly I straightened myself, maa just glanced at me.

We arrived to venue.Badi papa and badi maa recieved us and maa,papa exchanged their wellbeing. Just greeting them I escaped from there. I went to pallavi Di's room. I silently went into the room and hugged her from back. She startled then calmed knowing it's me.

We both share a great bond, actually our vibes match with eachother, get along well with eachother. She knows about my messed up life."Meri pyaari behen ko ab mili time....! Sach mein tu meri behen hai na....?",she teased me."ha main tumhari behen hu , isliye meri classes bi sacrifice karke aayi hoon....!",I returned words

"Ha..... studies ki bachi....! finally showed your face, meri tho din hi ban gayi..!"I further teased her "tumhari din tho jiju ko dekhne ke baad ban jaati hai." "Abey chup kar.....woh toh apne friends ke saath busy hai", pallavi di said.

We were chatting with eachother,then entered my other cousins who are so dramatic, attention seekers. In short just bitches. I stopped in middle, pallavi di noticed them. Ankita, Janvi,Nayna with lots of makeup and all fake things like lashes,nails hair extensions.

Eww....how can someone wear all these things, don't they feel uncomfortable? Shut up if you don't want to wear,then no one should wear these...? My mind mocked me. After 15 minutes or something Ankita started with her fakeness dripping in her voice "oh Anvi tu yahi par hai lekin mein notice hi nahi kiya." "Tu kaise notice karega.....woh toh har time chup hi rahti hai na" Nayna joined."waise rehke attention seek karti hai",Janvi joined them like why not me just taunt her.

Before I reply them pallavi di gave them a befitting reply "ha Anvi at least show off nahi karti hai,aapki ki jaise." They rolled their eyes and went from there.

Had lunch with pallavi di and her friends.Her friends are so easy going just like pallavi di. Took some rest.It is evening, pallavi Di's friends Ruhi,Aliana and some others planned a bachelorette party.

We all together made arrangements for party.Arranged all lights, music setup,drinks, decoration everything. We all decided dress code as black.As night grew we got ready.Party was just setup beside pool.

I wore black knee level dress, I preferred minimal makeup,left my hair open and I don't like heels so I preferred sneakers. I was looking good and lastly sprayed my favourite floral scent with fruity notes perfume.

I entered last, as I was helping pallavi di in getting ready. Those bitchy cousins of mine are staring at me like they have seen some alien." Shut your mouths , flies may enter, we all know Anvi is gorgeous, don't need to express that." Pallavi di taunted them.

All were dancing, drinking. As I don't drink, I preferred fruit juice. Night went on like that. I woke up at my usual time and I am in pallavi di room. I am feeling heavy on my stomach.As I turned it was Ruhi who is hugging me and sleeping. With utmost difficulty I woke up. I think they must have passed out last night.

Someone is knocking at the door. Shit where is pallavi di , today is her haldi. I opened door it was someone I don't know.Near to pallavi Di's age.

"Where is bhabhi? Maa is asking her", she asked.

"somewhere around, even I am looking for her",I replied.

"ok inform her to come down stairs."

" Umm wait may I know your name?",I asked .

"My name is Tara , Virat's sister", she replied.

After that pallavi di entered room ,"di kaha chali gayi tumhari nand ayi thi , tumhe bula rahi thi",I told her."ha use hi milke ayi hu","raat party ke baad kaha chali gay tu...?"."mm woh Virat se Milne gayi ",which shocked me "di aap dono shaadi ke pehle nahi mil sakte haina?","woh badon ke saamne ",she said with no care.

We got ready for haldi and it went well with us playing with haldi and water. After all elders went off. Except my cousins, pallavi Di's friends and others are amazing. I enjoyed a lot. We all cleaned our self and now it is mehendi.

Pallavi di was grumpy because she is sitting in the same position for past 1 hour and she is numb. All were applying mehendi. Some are even writing their partner's name. Mehendi artist is applying mehendi to my hand. Tara is chasing someone I don't by shouting "ARJUN,RUK AAJ THO TU MERA HAATH MEIN GAYA."

To my unknown I whispered his name. I came out of my daze. After sometime she completed applying mehendi. We all were removing our mehendi.

I removed my mehendi, suddenly someone grabbed my hand it is pallavi di." Ye Arjun kaun hai?", I was confused."Mujhe nahi pata hai." "Toh tumhare haath mein uska naam kyun hai?" ,"kyun mere haath mein uska naam hoti hai?". With that I looked at my hand. To my shock Arjun name was written on my hand which is now dark shade of red.

Now I realised it was mehendi artist who wrote it while I whispered his name."woh mehendi artist galti se lik Diya hoga...!" I gave explanation to pallavi di. I think she is convinced.

From that I am hiding my hand, anyone not to notice this name and think that I am in relationship with this name guy.

It's evening and it is Sangeet night. I wore a simple lehenga. Both families and friends, everyone were present. Bride and groom gave some cheesy speeches how they met and blah blah blah....

They all were dancing, doing all the drama. Even I learnt classical dance but I don't want to dance infront of them. So with no interest I was in my own world. Sangeet is going on.

Arjun Pov :

After that fight with maa , I didn't talk much. It is morning and I am all prepared to go to Pune for Virat's wedding. I came downstairs, maa and papa both were present. By looking at my luggage,"Arjun ae kaisa majak hai, bas utni si baat se tu Ghar chod kar nahi jaa sakta ", maa is scolding.

I laughed in my mind by listening to maa. I want to act like leaving but one glare from papa made me explain everything.

Maa instructed like I was going to a school trip.I started my car picked up those idiots.

"Aaj bhi late, shaadi ke baad ana chahiye ", Gaurav was ranting."Arey chup be, Ghar mein tho maa shaadi ki baat kar Rahi thi","ha hum shaadi mein hi Jaa rahe hai ",Farhan interrupted.

"Arey maa is asking me to marry that Ananya",I said."Hey that who introduced herself as your girlfriend ", Karan said." Haa wahi"," then what you told to aunty...?"

"I rejected, that I won't marry her",I shared."In reality you are crazy for that puppy girl ", Gaurav said." She is not puppy girl ",I said in defence of my girl."then your dream girl", Farhan teased.

With that all banters, we reached venue.Tara is our classmate and Virat's sister ,came and received us. We side hugged her and teased eachother usually.

After she guided to our rooms in resort where wedding is about to happen. We freshen up and went to meet Virat."hey how are you senior?",we all said in unison."jab college mein tha tab senior ki izzat nahi di, ab senior bula rahe ho, ha mein teek hu ,tum log kaise ho."

"Sab teek hai life mein, bas girlfriend ki Kami hai", Gaurav said. we all broke into laughter.

"Pallavi kaisi hai",I asked "woh tho bohot excited hai", Virat replied.

We all completed lunch ,had some talks. It is night we are having some drinks with Virat and came to know that pallavi is having her bachelorette party.

After that party she came to meet Virat and she is suprised to see us."Virat tune nahi bataya mujhe these guys are coming", pallavi asked."even I was not sure ,these important,busy persons will come",Virat said sarcastically." Virat is getting married and we are missing, it is never possible",Karan said dramatically.

With that we all had good talk and after sometime Virat and pallavi went missing. We all know what they'll be doing.Night went like that.

It's morning and Virat's haldi. All elders were done with rituals. We are enjoying and Tara is trying to apply haldi on my face. I am running from her . She is trying to chase me "Arjun ruk Aaj tu meri haat mein gaya", Tara shouting. Finally I escaped from her.

Day went like that. It is evening, Virat and pallavi's sangeet.I like dancing and participating in everything. We are all ready to Sangeet.

All boring speech completed, now it's time to dance, sing. A faceoff is going on between bride and groom side. We are on groom side to be obvious. We are competitive.

It's groom side turn to perform. Karan,I and Virat's cousins were dancing. Suddenly my gaze stopped on a particular person who is sitting in a corner and enjoying her drink.

I felt my heart skipped few beats. Because they are same dark orbs messing with my sleep and heart. For whom my eyes are waiting, for her one glance and my heart is beating. Suddenly I want to run to her and secure her in my arms.

Meri intezaar,Meri khwahish, Meri khwaab,Meri Manzil,Meri jaan......
