A few days went by and both Meera and Akshad had limited time to talk to each other.
Today is the day before the engagement,
Mrs. Arora made a plan with Mrs. Sharma to go ring shopping and soon Meera and Rupal decided to join them as they had to purchase some jewelry matching the costumes they had decided to wear.
Soon the 4 ladies reached the regular jewelry shop from which Mrs. Sharma has purchased tons of jewels in the past .
"Namaste bhabhi, few rings were shortlisted by Mr. Akshad a few days before. You may pick the best out of them as per your choice" the shopkeeper told them
Soon both the ladies got engrossed in analyzing which ring is best for the couple.
On the other hand Meera and Rupal went upstairs to see some necklace and earrings.
" Rup, will this golden beaded necklace look good on my lehenga ?" Meera nervously asked her cousin.
"No di , it's too casual. It's your engagement sister. You need to look your best. Just like a princess." Saying this Rupal brought some wonderful designs to Meera's notice.
Meera chooses a ruby studded necklace and earrings set which also has a mangtika. This set will go perfectly on her red lehenga, she thought. Rupal also gave a thumbs up.
At billing counter,
Meera took out her card to pay but the salesperson refused to take any money.
"Why? Is there any problem with my card?" She asked
The person replied with a smile "Ma'am, Mr. Akshad has already deposited his credit card with us for all the purchases done by his family. So, you don't have to pay anything, everything is taken care of. "With that, the salesperson handed over the purchased necklace and a complimentary gift to Meera.
Not in mood to argue, Meera took it and went ahead to find her mother and Mrs. Arora had also checked out their purchases from the billing counter.
"Mom, I have purchased my jewelry set and Rupal purchased some earrings for her. Now we need to go and pick up my dress from the boutique."
"Okay beta, we can also tag along with you if you want " Rashi informed Meera
"No mom, I have a salon appointment after one hour. It may go on till dinner time."
"No problem beta, go ahead with your schedule. I will go to Arora mansion with Mrs. Sheetal." on that Sheetal replied excitedly
"Perfect plan Rashi ji, we need to check on some arrangements for tomorrow."
With that both the ladies went to Arora mansion with the driver. On the other hand, Meera and Rupal went to pick up their engagement function dresses.
Meera chose a beautiful lehenga and Rup chose a classic stitched saree for her sister's engagement.
At boutique,
Shilpa is a fashion designer but before that she was a college friend of Meera. Hence, on such short notice she agreed and designed this beautiful lehenga.
"Shilpa, you are an angel. If it was not for you I don't know how I would have managed to achieve my dream look"
Smiling Shilpa said "Don't butter me now Meeru, go and try it out so we can send you off for your beauty time".
Soon, making sure the outfit fits well. Both Meera and Rupal went to the salon for their beauty time. Meera had booked a bridal package consisting of -Bridal Facial , layered Hair Cut , Body Polishing, Full Body Waxing, Manicure & Pedicure And Hair Spa.
She was ready to look like the bride of the year. Whereas Rashi did face cleanup and got herself a new haircut.
