Preeti's point of view
I was sitting in my room with Shivani di's kids while everyone is preparing for rokka and engagement.
"Preeti..massi.. Are you going to marry Siddharth uncle." Abhi asked me while hugging me from behind and put his tiny head on my right shoulder.
I blushed at the thought of getting marry to Siddharth.
"Will he also give us presents like Anshul mama (uncle) gave us whenever he came from jhansi." Shreya asked me while holding my both hands in her tiny one.
I chuckled softly at her innocent question.
"You asked him yourself." Neeta aunty said while walking into my room along with mummy with lehnga in her hand.
"beta this is the dress for your engagement from our side. Get ready we are waiting for you." Neeta aunty said while handing me a dress and cares my head.
"Thankyou aunty." I thank Neeta aunty.
"It's maa from now on. Don't call me aunty again." Neeta maa said holding my both hands. I give her a small smile.
I changed from my suit to my lehnga. It is a golden net glistening net lehenga with shiny work and had a matching blouse with golden and stone all over it. It had a golden net duppata with hand work with golden and golden stones. It looks beautiful. After changing to lehenga I wear a matching earrings and a thin chain with a small cute locket and set my dupatta on my right shoulder. I curled my hair little to the end and do little makeup and painted my lips with peach matt lipstick.
I can't believe today I am going to engage. I always thought about this day

and imagined how it will proceed but when the time is come and I am hell nervous.
This is the second time I'm going to face him. I still remember every single word which we talked about and for a single moment he didn't make me feel like he is billionaire and I am just a simple girl.
After meeting Siddharth, his thought didn't leave my mind. I don't know what he is doing to me but I like that feeling. I don't know, if he is thinking about me or not, right now but his thought don't leave my mind.
Shivani di and Anit jiju came to my room to take me to the downstairs.
"You are looking beautiful. Siddharth could not take his eyes from you." Anit jiju teased me.
I turned into crimson hearing his name. I lowered my head and tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Anit you make her more nervous. Don't listen to him Preeti. He is just pulling your leg." Shivani di said while glaring to jiju.
"Let's go.." she said while looking at me.
I give her a small smile and nodded my head.
When I came to livingroom, everyone's eyes was on me, making me more nervous. I lowered my eyelids not to meet anyone's gaze because their gaze make me more nervous but suddenly I looked up and my eyes met with the coffee brown eyes. He is already looking at me with admiration. He is siting on the couch waiting for me to join him.
I averted my gaze from him and looked down again because his heated gaze burn my skin and I feel the goosebumps in my whole body. My face turned into red pink and my heart started beating faster when I still feel his gaze on me.
He is in the same attire of the morning but looking handsome just like when I saw him first time.
Mummy and Shivani di makes me sit beside him. I can feel his heated gaze on me and I can feel the warmth of his body. I wanted to look at him but due to the lack of courage and shyness I can't look at him.
Pandit ji (priest) started chanting mantras. Papa and Mummy came forward and give Siddharth coconut and a rupee and did his tilak (apply vermillion between the eyebrows) and some rice on tilak. Siddharth touched mummy and papa feets. After mummy papa, everyone do the same ritual with him.
Neeta maa and Akhil dad came forward and put red chunni (scarf) on my head and do same ritual as everyone performed with Siddharth. I touch their feets.

After that keerti handed the ring to Siddharth.
He took the ring from keerti and forward his left hand to me, asking for my hand.
"May I..?" He whisper.
I slowly give my hand to him and he hold my hand firmly.
When his skin touch mine, I felt a spark all over my body. My heart beat start increasing. His hand was warm and felt rough against my soft one.
He slowly slide the ring in my ring finger. It is platinum ring with a cute little diamond in mid and a small diamonds around the large diamond in a curvy shape.It is simple but elegant at the same time.
After that Shivani di give me a ring.
I hold his hand firmly in my hand and felt the same spark.
'this man will be a death of me'
I slowly slide the ring in his ring finger. Everyone is claping and hooting after we exchanged our rings.
"Bhayi, bhabhi... smile Please."
We both looked to keerti and she took our photo in her phone.
......................................................................
Our wedding is fix in December after 5 months. I was happy but saddened at the same time that I have to leave my family and everything that soon.
Keerti and Neeta maa are talking to me , wanted to know me batter. Papa Akhil Dad and Malhotra uncle talking to eachother and Anshul and jiju talking with Siddharth. In between our talking, we both were stealing glance from each other and when our gaze met, I turned into pink shade and I saw his lips curl into a beautiful smile.
It's evening, clock reads 8 p.m. Everyone prepare for leaving but Siddharth nowhere to be seen.
I wish I can see him last time before leaving.
I touch Akhil Dad, malhotra uncle and Neeta maa's feets. When I was standing behind of everyone smiling at their talks suddenly Abhi and Shreya take my hand and pull me towards upstairs.
"Arre bacho chodo...kya ker rhe ho. (what are you doing kids)." I said to them but they don't listen to me.
