Monami's POV

"Sid, Sid.. Kamine kaha hai tu? Kabse bula rahi hoon mei.. Sunn raha hai ki nahi?" I shouted on top of my lungs for the 15th time, this time finally finding him at the main gate of the house.

 He was engrossed in the decorations for the day as I reached him in a panicky mode. And he lazily turned behind as he spoke nonchalantly, " Kya hua Monu bro? Why are you shouting so much? Poore ghar ko sar pe utha liya hai tune bro!" 

"Tu yaha timepass kar raha hai aur meine tujje poore ghar mei dhoondh liya Idiot! Aur tu yeh sab chhod aur mujje bata ki mera outfit kaha hai?" I asked him impatiently ignoring all his dramatical questions, to which he replied, "What outfit?", angering me even more! 

"Mera outfit Sid.. Mera outfit.. Woh outfit joh aaj mei pehenne wali hoon.. Engagement ke liye jo mera Blue Lehnga tujje boutique se pick karna tha aaj.. Woh kaha hai Sid?" I questioned him pressing on my words clearly for him to respond better this time.

"Lekin woh Lehenga toh Cancel kar diya tha na broo", he looked at me as if I had grown horns and my BP was shooting up high, "WHAT? Kya bakwas kar raha hai Sidd? Meine koi cancel-vancel nahi kiya hai!! Aur agar aaj Lehenga nahi aaya toh mei pehnugi kya? " I shook him holding his shoulders as I screamed at him in a panicked situation as Sid stood there looking lost as if he knew nothing..

Just then I saw Avinash uncle running down the stairs coming to us as he shouted, "Monu, beta.. Monu.. Arree sunn .. Uss gadhe Sid ki galti nahi hai... " I had no idea what was going on today, there were just few hours left for the Roka ceremony to begin and I didn't even have my outfit ready for the day while Ganju Uncle seemed to know everything... 

"Uncle, kya hua ? Aap kya bol rahe hai? Aur aap aaramse sambhaal ke aaiye... Yeh Sid abhi tak mera Lehenga nahi laaya hai aur pata nahi kya bole jaa raha hai.. Aapko iske baare mei kuch pata hai kya?" I asked him multiple questions as he came towards us.

"Monu beta, meine hi tere uss Lehenge ka order cancel kiya tha.. Tu tension matle.. Chal mere saath andar room mei.. Tujje sab dikhata hoon", uncle tried calming me but instead just making me worry even more as he held my hand and took me inside the house with Sid following us like a lost puppy... 

"Lekin uncle aapne Lehenga kyu cancel kiya? Abb mei aaj pehungi kya?",  I tried asking him once again to which he pointed to a nice big gift box that was wrapped in silver paper and beautiful ribbons with a small card on it. I slowing walked towards the couch and picked up the little card that read,

"For my princess... ~With love from Mumma"

I looked up at Uncle with teary eyes and shaking hands to ask what this was about.. But he simply nodded indicating me to open the gift first.. And I picked up the box as I opened the ribbons and tore through the gift wrap, only to reveal the most beautiful Banarasi Silk Turquoise Blue Saree with golden and silver heavy embroidery  and zariwork all over along with an elegant border. 

The Saree was absolutely gorgeous and much more stunning than the Lehenga that I had finalized. I looked up to Ganju uncle as I hugged him keeping the saree aside, "Thank you soo much Uncle.. Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you!! Yeh toh Mumma ki Saree hai na?! Lekin yeh aap kaha se lekar aaye?"  I looked up to him slightly confused when he finally decided to break the suspense, "Beta, kuch dinno pehle mei Mumbai mei tha, tab Mahajan house gaya tha.."  

My smile fell hearing this, as I thought why did uncle meet Dad, but didn't react as Uncle spoke answering the queries in my mind, "Haan Monami, gaya toh tha mere dost Dr. Mahajan se milne, taaki mei usse samja saku ki teri khusiyaan Karan se judi hui hai, isiliye woh Karan ko accept karle aur Shaadi mei aaye, lekin kya karu.. socha tha tere mummy aur papa, donno ka pyaar tere liye gift mei launga uss gharse, lekin Deepak ki zidd ke saamne pyaar-dosti, riste-naate sab haar gaya..."
