Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (animal farm read .txt) 📗

Siddharth's family also arrived in India and now staying at his farmhouse because all the ritual from Siddharth side will perform there and Barat will departure from his farmhouse which is at the outskirt of Delhi and Faridabad border. Keerti daily did video calls me and show the preparation of the wedding. She also show me some dress which she designed for wedding. She graduated from college this year and taring under a famous fashion designer of USA.

It's November and winter is just started. I was standing on my balcony, looking outside. Cold wind are blowing my hair when I heard someone opened the door of my room and came inside. I turned to my room, a smile came on my face looking at Neha, pooja, Kshama and Shivani di.

Neha is looking pretty like a new bride with all ornaments and the symbols of married life.

She had a glow on her face and her red chuda (bangles) make her look a new wedded.

I smiled and give her a tight hug.

"Look, what I bring for you from your sasural.(in-laws home)" she said while turning to shivani di.

I turned to Shivani di. She had a shagun thal in her hand which was covered with a red velvet cloth.

"It's your wedding lehnga along with the ornaments of bride. Sit I'll show you." She said.

We all sit on my bed and when Shivani di removed the red velvet cloth I got shocked looking at my bridal lehenga. It was the same one which i saw at the Delhi mall. But i noticed few changes in it which make it look more prettier.

Is that mean he noticed me that day when i was adoring this lehnga.

"It looks pretty.." pooja said while tracing her fingers on my wedding lehenga.

"You know keerti told me, her husband (Siddharth) himself select this and made few changes to make it look more prettier." Neha said while looking at me.

I lowered my head and blushed while biting my lips to hide my smile.

"Ooye..hhooyyee...someone is blushing hearing about her husband." 
Kshama said while bumping her shoulder to me.

I blushed even more and hide my face in my palm.

"If she is blushing that much only hearing about him, only god knows what will happen to her when he will make love with her at their wedding night." Neha said while removing my hands from my face.

I widened my eyes hearing her and i know i was now beetroot and threw a pillow to her.

"What do you mean?" Pooja asked, narrowing her eyes in confusion and drink water.

"You will understand when you will get married to my little brother." Neha said, smirking to Puja who choked on water and looked at her in surprise.

"What..!!! Do you really think that I don't know that you both are crushing on each other. That idiot only come to this wedding for you." Neha said with smirk and pooja was blushing hard. She is such a tease. She is not less than keerti when it comes to teasing someone.

We all are broke into laugh looking at pooja's flushing face.

"Okey...no more teasing now. Preeti go get put it in your wardrobe carefully. I will come to take you for your rituals at evening till you girls have fun." Shivani di said while giving me a shagun thaal and got up for leaving.

I nodded my head with a smile on my face and got up to put my bridal lehenga in my wardrobe. 
........................................................................

One thing is great in your own wedding that you don't have to do anything but you are the center of attention and i hate it most. But it's only going to happen only one time in life so why not enjoying it.

Only two days left for my wedding and whole house is fill with guests. My cousins and jiju are busy in the preparations and kshama is always with me for saving me from bore to death. After my haldi rituals she helped me to change my clothes and many things. We both are sitting in my room and talked about our old days. How we were used to go office together and we both are going to marry to our love. Her wedding is next month and she threatened me if I will not come to her marriage she will specially come to new york to kick on my ass.

We don't know when we both slept talked to each other.

......

Next morning, morning rays fell on my face disturbing my sleep. I turned my head to the other side and forced my eyelids to open. When i opened my eyes slowly my eyes fell on Siddharth's photo which is on my bedside table. He was smiling looking up. His hair was falling on his forehead. He is looking fairer under the sun light and his black blazer, all over he is always looking handsome that his looks can beat any Hollywood star look.

Only one day left for us to become one. We both wait long for this day. Tomorrow i will be known as officially Mrs. Preeti Siddharth Kapoor. I will know by his name. I smile crept on my face thinking about it. Isn't sound great to call Mrs. Siddharth Kapoor.

"Preeti get up..it's already 8.30." Mummy walk inside my room along with Shivani di.

I got up and set on bed in indian style, crossing my both legs. Ksahma and pooja still sleepi g beside me.

"I'll send your breakfast in your room till then you freshen up..... Shivani beta will you Please wake up both of them." Mummy said while pointing towards kshama and pooja and take out my dress for henna function.

"Changed into this and came downstairs to apply henna on your hands and legs. " she said while putting my dress on chair.

"Both of you wake up. Don't you want to apply henna on your hands." Mummy said while smacking both of them on their legs.

"Tai ji...please let us sleep." Pooja said in her sleepy voice while rubbing the place on her leg with the help of her another leg where mummy just smacked her, on other hand kshama hide her face under the pillow.

Mummy shake her head and turned to shivani di.

"Shivani wake both of them after five minutes. I'll go and check if anything left for henna function." Shivani di nod her head and mummy leave the room.
