A long chapter! ;)

•~•~•

Annika was sitting on the window looking out of the window. She looked out sipping her mug of tea. A beautiful smile was creeping on her lips as she looked at her hand. Her hands were claded with heena till her elbow on both side. She looked at Shivaay's name which smartly written between the designs so that it could be hidden.

She smiled widely remembering last evening when her cousins teased him asking to write my name or at least initials on his palm as it was tradition. She chuckled seeing that but what surprised her was, he agreed in instant to write and not just initial, but his right hand is having her name written with heena right now.

The colour of her mehendi has come really dark, like dark brown making her blush. There's a belief that the colour of mehendi tells how much your husband loves you. She knew it was not scientifically possible but still the belief and the colour of her mehendi warmed her heart.

"Annika jaldi..", Khushi paused seeing Annika lost with a smile. A mischievous smile appeared on her face and she tiptoed to Annika.

"Shivaay?", she said in a shocked voice making Annika turn immediately.

"Kahan?", she asked but then bit her tongue blushing.

"At his home, remember we're going to celebrate haldi together in grounds, so come out of dream land and get ready baccha", Khushi said making Annika blush and nod. She ran to washroom taking her dress from bed making Khushi chuckle and arrange her jewelries.

The wedding planner has suggested to celebrate haldi together in a place where everyone could enjoy together. Oberois suggested their ground with which her family agreed. Shivaay as usual, is excited to see Annika making her blush.

In their talks, she challange him to apply her haldi in front of everyone, just to tease him but he took it seriously and accepted to take the challange. She was excited to see him fulfilling his challange.

"Annika come I make you wear the jewelries", Khushi said as Annika came out wearing the oufit. She was wearing a tied up, one shoulder mustard blouse with mustard and off- white skirt having thread work over it. Annika nodded and sat down in front of mirror.

She did had any makeup today, with just kohl and little gloss. Annika gasped seeing the beautiful jewelries made of flowers.

"Bhabhi they're so beautiful and delicate", Annika said gently touching the flowers.

"So you're looking! Beautiful", Khushi said looking at Annika tying her hair in a loose braid.

Annika smiled looking at herself. She was looking like an angel with all flower jewelry and her natural beauty.

"Come let's leave. Arnav called me when you're inside that Oberois and our relatives have arrived and is waiting for us", Annika nodded.

In hall, Malika was waiting for them as girls had decided to go together. Settling down in car, they left for the venue.
