Barrister babu: Love is magic

Chapter-32 "Engagement (I) "

Bondita's POV:-

Today is my and Anirudh's engagement. I am very happy and excited. Mumma and papa are the most enthusiastic. The engagement will be held in Das Mansion itself. I went down stairs, in the hall, for seeing what is happening in my house. Papa was continuously shouting on the servants to put the flowers correctly. Mumma was in the kitchen, instructing the halwai to put more ghee in the food.

Kartik dada was checking the lights. Everything was a mess. I don't know what was happening in my house. The ceremony will start at 8:00 PM. It's just 2:00 PM now. What should I do till then? Papa and mumma strictly denied me to do any preparation. I was getting too bored. And this time is also passing too slowly. I thought to help papa.

"Papa! " I called him. "I am getting too bored. I want to help you. "

"No beta! It's your engagement. Why do you need to do anything? " He said still busy in his work.

"But-" I was interrupted my mumma.

"If you are getting bored then go sleep for sometime. You need some energy too. After all the ceremony is at night and none can say when you will be able to sleep." She said and I went to sleep.

I lied on my bed and scrolled my Instagram. Nothing more than some cute puppies and some of my friends photo, enjoying and chilling. Mumma is right. Everything will take time. The media would also be coming. After all it's the engagement of two rich business men's children. Huh! It will be a busy day. Thinking all these I slept.

"Wow! You are looking too pretty. I bet Anirudh will not be able to take his eyes off you" Jaanu said which made me blushed.

I was sitting in my room, getting ready for my engagement. I was wearing a peach colour ruffle layer lehanga choli, with golden embroidery on it. Some jewellery and my hairs were left open. Jaanu was helping me get ready. The makeup and styling was done by the parlor's girl. Jaanu was just ordering her.

"Bondita are you ready......... " Mumma entered in my room. "Wow you are looking too pretty. "

"Thank you" I thanked her.

"Hmm how much quickly time flew. My little daughter is getting married. " Mumma said emotionally.

"I will miss you" I said as tears brimmed in my eyes.

"Okay okay" Jaanu interrupted us. "Don't cry otherwise you will look like a witch and Anirudh will run off the venue. "

Mumma laughed at this and I smacked her head, "Pagal"

"Ouch" She whined.

"Okay girls now come! Everyone came. " Mumma said and we nodded.

Jaanu took me downstairs with mumma accompanying us. I descended down the stairs and all the lights went off. Suddenly a spotlight came on me and I shut my eyes due to sudden exposure of light. I slowly opened them and my eyes met with him. He was wearing a white shirt and black coat and pant and a black bow on his collar. He was looking damn handsome. I was just staring at him when Jaanu shook me, bringing me out of my dreamland.

(For the pictures check my insta story)

I slowly came on the stage. The stage was decorated with flowers all around and a white couple sofa. I stood beside him and the media started taking our pictures. After a little bit of photos and meeting with relatives, we were given rings to put in each other's finger. First I was asked to make him wear the ring. I took the ring and he forwarded his hand. I made him wear the ring and everyone clapped loudly. Now it was his turn. He also made me wear the ring in my ring finger. Everybody again clapped and we sat on the sofa for sometime as everyone were busy having there food. Finally we were alone.

"You are looking too pretty. " He whispered in my ear and I blushed.

"You are also not looking some less." I said to him.

"I know " He said moving his hand in his hairs.

"Huh! " I rolled my eyes at him.

"I can't wait to see you on the wedding. " He said.

" Mr would-be-hubby but you have to wait for some days. " I winked at him.

"I know" He groaned and I chuckled.

"Congratulations Anirudh and Bondita" John said and handed over a bouquet to us.

"Thank you John" Anirudh said to him while I gave him a warm smile.

"Congratulations guys! " Samar jiju and Jaanu also congratulated us.

"Thanks" We thanked them.

" Bondu! " I heard a scream and someone hugged me.

I was shocked and took sometime to process everything. Then the realisation hit me.

"Kabir" I whispered with teary eyes, hugging him back.

"Where were you from this much time" I fake angered on him.

"Sorry Bondu! " He apologized but I was not in a mood to spare him so easily. I turned my face away and he giggled seeing my antics.

"Bondu! Sorry na! Please forgive me. " He said but I love teasing him, so I maintained a straight face.

"Okay then I am going " He said slowly but enough for me to hear. I know he won't go but I heard footstep's sound and I immediately turned back just to find him smirking. I again turned my face.

"Please Bondu sorry. " He said holding his ears and I thought to forgive him. "It's okay" I said and he grinned widely.

"So who is that lucky person to marry you? " He asked me. I went towards Anirudh and held his arm. "My would-be-husband" In return Anirudh wrapped his arm around my waist. I smiled at him but he was looking.......wait! glaring at Kabir?

Kabir came towards us. "Oh so you are that lucky person who got the love of Bondu. By the way I am Kabir.... Kabir Sinha" He forwarded his hand for shaking hands with Anirudh.

"Anirudh.......Anirudh Roy Chaudhary" He said with a forced smile and shook hands with him.

What happened to him? Now only he was smiling and laughing and just in a second his facial expression changed. Psycho Saiyaan!

"Nice to meet you" Kabir said and they all started chatting. Mumma dragged me in her aunties' group.

"Haaye! Kinni soni kudi hai teri Ankita" A woman, nearly the age of mumma, praised me.

"After all she is Ankita's daughter" Another woman said. I looked towards mumma, she was looking a little hesitant but then smiled and proudly said, "After all whose daughter is she? "

Did she praised me or herself?

Anyways, first of all I want to go from these aunties. I forced a smile and excused myself to go. I went towards my friends and we enjoyed the food.
