Frenemy Companions

Chapter -23

☆ Ring?☆

The next morning came too early for Annika's liking. She struggled to even open her eyes.

She sat up with her eyes still closed. Her body was tired and muscles pained. There was too much work for her to handle.

Work! She had her day planned ahead. Firstly the decorations then the food and after that is what they call sister's responsibility, looking after Aditya's need.

Oh! The security check was left to be mentioned. But it was Shivaay's department. A burden off her shoulder.

She got up and made her way to the bathroom. Perhaps a cold shower would help to wake her dormant brain.

She got out of her clothes and stood under the shower. The cold water running down her body awaking her, goosebumps all over her.

Drying herself with a towel and changing in a red crop top and black track pants she dried her hair and pinned the front part.

No make up because it will all be ruined by all work she had to do.

She got of the room and nodded at the servants who wished her.

Back in her phone buzzed for the umpteenth time.

It was close to noon and Annika rushed through the corridors hastily bumping into people who came in her way.

The decor was still going on in the main hall and the rehearsals would be starting after lunch, just for a few hours because of lack of time.

Almost all the youngsters were performing and her parents were performing too. On some of classic songs.

For now she was called by her dearest mother urgently. Annika didn't bother much and focused on checking out the number of guests who showed up that day.

But then her father too asked her to meet him in his room. She wondered what it was?

"Papa?" She knocked on the door.

Adhiraj smiled looking at her side nodded at her to enter.

"You called me, is there any work?" She asked taking a seat beside him and royally ignored her mother's presence.

"No Anni , there is no work. You are already handling so much! " He said caressing her face.

"Shivaay, Om, Rudra, kartik are here to help me Papa. You just have to meet the guests and enjoy the wedding. " Annika smiled saying

"Anni now do your father a favor and choose one ring amongst them" Adhiraj told her.

"Ring? For what? "

"It is a gift! " Madhuri spoke up for the first time.

"For whom?" Annika raised her brows.

"To Sanam's cousin, they have given a lot of things in the tilak. We to need to show right that we are the royals of surajgarh " Madhuri replied smiling her perfect fake smiled.

Annika looked at her father who nodded at her. She didn't trust Madhuri but she trusts her father so choose to oblige.

She chose one simple and nice ring.

"It's pretty !" Her father remarked.

"My choice! " she boasted herself and stood up to leave.

"Don't over work yourself bache. If you need then appoint more workers " Adhiraj advised.
