Naintara's POV~

I twill around, checking my dress. I was standing in front of the washroom mirror.

Not bad, Naintara!

I like this one. It had a sanganeri print with florals in between.

I wasn't in a rush because I still had half an hour before Abhi came at 3 p.m. to get me.

Satisfied with myself, I walked out. Just then Anvi burst into my room.

"Anvi?"

"Di. Finally. Jiju neeche aap ka wait kar rhe h. Galdi chalo." She said hurrying me.
(Di, let's go. Brother-in-law' waiting)

Panic burst through me. My eyes dart to the clock hanging on the wall. 3:01 p.m.

Ye kaise jo gya? Abhi toh 30 min bache the.

(How? I remember I had 30 more minutes.)

"Are kya soch rhe ho chalo na?" Her arm came forward to hold mine.
(What are you thinking? Let's go)

"Oh oh oh. Mein asa neeche nhi ja rhi. Meine toh makeup bhi nhi kiya h. Yaha tak ki kajal bhi nhi lagaya. Bhutni lagungi agar mein ase gyi toh." I said dashing away from her hold.

(I'm not going to look like this. I haven't done makeup not even khol. I'll look like a witch if I go like this.)

"Are in sabh ka waqt nhi h...abh kya apne hone wale pati ho bhi intezar karaogi."

(No, we don't have time for this all...you want to make your future husband wait too.)

"Are tu pagal h kya? Mein nhi ja rhi neeche asa. Woh toh shaadi se phele hi mana kar denge asa gyi toh."

(Have you lost it? He'll say no to this marriage if I go looking like this.)

Girl, he's whipped for you! - Author ji.

"Kyu? Acchi toh lag rhi ho." Anvi said with her hands on her waist.

(Why? You are looking good.)

"Nhi. Kam se kam kajal toh laga ne de." I said running to the dressing table.
(No. Let me atleast apply khol.)

"Ha ha lag lo aapna kajal. Galdi Karo lekin." I narrowed my eyes at her through the mirror.

(Yeah yeah do it. But before fast na.)

Ye zyada nhi bol rhi?

(Isn't she speaking too much?)

The whole time I was applying my kajal, Anvi was tapping her foot on the floor with her hands closed over her chest.

She looks more desperate than me.

"Chale abh."
(Let's go)

"Haha. Kyu nhi. Jadi chalo." She shoots the words to me before dragging me out of my room.
(Yes. Let's go.)

I stopped at the foot of the steps.

Everyone was indulged in their work. Flower baskets and other decoration items were scattered around.

The railing was decorated with flowers. Different different flowers.

Wooh!!

"Di Kitna Sundar h na decoration."
(The decoration's beautiful)

"Ha," I said mesmerized.
(Yes)

I have always loved flowers but this decoration made them shine or was it these flowers that made our home shine? Hard to tell.

It all seemed too mesmerizing and peaceful to be around. Wooh!!

"Di neeche chale? Hum late ho jayenge."
