Another day comes with another ritual....the ever famous haldi ceremony.
The pretty ladies of the family was in a rush,they needed to look beautiful in the ceremony.everyone of them wanted every single thing to be perfect.
Adya was not very busy as she already had finished her dressing and make up.Now it was avni who was being all worked up,she even didn't try her dress as she didn't get the time to.
So she was worried if her dress fits her rightly or do she need to look for anything else at this very last minute, which is not quite possible now.Adya was sure that the dress will fits right to avni and even if it didn't they always have their very own fashion designer in the house...Aranya.
Aranya wouldn't mind doing some work for avni.Nobody in the family hate aranya, it was just that she believes to her mother without much thinking,and that's when the problem arises.
Her mother is a cunning and money minded woman,who also want her daughter to be like her.But now Aranya was getting better. now she thinks before doing and she thoroughly observs what's right and wrong.not everyone notice it but surely the cousins did.
Avni finally decided to get ready and went for changing.
It fitted perfectly,just like adya thought.and a huge relief to aranya, although she loves her work she don't want to do it in rush and ruin more.
Perfections take time.(As I said earlier all rituals and traditions will be totally stupid and unrealistic.i am writing it to go with the story.)
In the haldi ritual the haldi being applied on akash is supposed to be the same one being applied to the bride.
Also when it comes to remove the haldi, akash is first supposed to wash off his hands with some sort of milk and water mix and store it and later anyone from akash's family is supposed to deliver the same mix to the bride and she need to remove her haldi with the exact mix given by akash.In here both groom and bride are in their own house they are not having the ceremony together.
As the time goes by the haldi started and every one started applying it on akash.
The kids present in the house started playing and was running around without a care in the world.
And that's when it happened, a boy who was merely five year old was playing with a ball and he suddenly throw it and his Target missed and ball fall on the haldi platter which held akash's used haldi which was supposed to taken to the bride's home.But it all ruined now,avni was passing by the hall when this happened and she was at the exact spot where the haldi was at.
When the ball hit the haldi platter it all fell on avni and the platter dropped to the ground.It was another deja vu scene.no one was talking, every single person stood there shocked.
Out of sudden akash left the place saying he is going to wash the haldi off and bring the milk and water mix back.
As the time for the bride's haldi ceremony was going fast the pandit asked them to deliver some other haldi which was also used, to the bride's house.
Avni was loosing her mind because her precious dress got ruineddd...
She was angry and moreover it was haldiii...she wonder what she will do if the stain didn't wash off.
She thought she shouldn't waste more time and decided to wash it off and was rushing to the outside where a well and tap is situated.While she was rushing from inside so was akash who wanted to finish all this drama he already washed his hands and had also taken the milk water mix.both didn't see eachother as each of them was concentrated in themselves and collided....which results in the milk water mix to fall on avni...again......
Which surprisingly also removed the haldi on her face and neck.
No one other than them and aaron saw it.Avni was full on rage mode.. what's with everything falling on her.and ruining her perfect dress.
Akash was tired and Don't want a repeat of the ceremony again.
Aaron don't really have a idea what he need to do,akash who saw aaron had asked him to keep quiet about the happenings.
Akash then went to the well side and started making another milk water mix but added some additional un used haldi in it.
Both aaron and avni stood shocked seeing him doing that , because the pandit did clearly tell him to use the haldi applied on his body in the mix.
But here akash just did the opposite.Akash seeing both his cousins rolled his eyes and asked them keep their mouth shut about it.he even added his famous glare which got avni understand her mission.
He went inside and give the mix to Sarini and asked if everything is over and can he go to rest.
It was at night when everyone settled to bed had aaron thought about it,
THE RITUALS ACTUALLY HAPPENED BETWEEN BOTH AKASH AND AVNI.
both the rituals,the haldi and the haldi removal, both...Gosh, what the hell is happening....
