Arranged

8.

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

Both Neeti and Ishita were having a good chat when they heard a knock on their balcony door, which was made of glass but was covered with curtains. Ishita looked in the direction of Neeti who was already looking back at her but with a calm expression, and again they heard a knock, by now Ishita was freaking out.

Who it could be di?, Ishita asked Neeti.

Neeti was about to answer her when Ishita notices a shadow which was enough to make her scream and she scream loudly fear. But her scream died very fast as Neeti covered her mouth with her hand.

Shush, its Raj, Neeti said calming her down

Who Raj?, Ishita asked with a little calm voice.

Dumbo your Jiju, Neeti answered.

Oh, sorry I was shocked, Ishita spoke coming back to her proper body posture.

Neeti let me in, comes the voice from balcony.

Oh yes, with that Neeti open door for him.

As soon as he enters in Ishita looked at the actual door as she heard her brothers voice and other family members voice.

Neeti beta, what happened?,

Ishu, open the door, her brother shouted while knocking on the door.

Even Ishita didnt scream for long time since Neeti stopped her but her scream was loud enough to make everyone alert plus it was wedding house everyone was up at this hour.

And here inside the Neeti and Raj freaked out knowing everyone present outside.

Ishita please dont tell anyone that Raj is here and yes if they ask about me then tell them I am in washroom. Please make some excuse, with that both Raj and Neeti went inside washroom to hide themselves.

She barely understands her words but still nodded with a confused reaction as she was still in daze, she again heard the knock so she immediately went to open door, finding everyone at door even some newly arrived guests.

Ishu, what happened? Why did you scream?, Aayush asked cupping her face.

Bh-Bhai actually there was a lizard on balconys door.

But it is closed beta, Neetis mother said looking at closed door of balcony.

Is there anything you are afraid of?, Aryan asked looking at her with concern.

No No, it just lizard, nothing else. She answered him immediately.

Where is Neeti?, Aryans mother asked looking around in room.

She is in washroom.

If your lizard again came back, then dont scream just come to me. I and Aryan are in next door, Aayush said to her sister to which she nodded and then everyone went back to their respective rooms.

Ishita closed the door and sigh in relief, she felt bad lying and disturbing everyone.

Di you both can come out, they went, she spoke knocking on washroom door.

Thank you so much Ishu, Neeti spoke while hugging her.

No thank you, why are you both hiding? You both are going to get married then why? I am feeling very bad di I lied to everyone? Why he came from balcony? she asked in one go.

Neeti was about to answer her when she was cut off by

Ill clear your confusion Ishita Beta, Sunita Verma spoke glaring at the couple where three of them become shocked looking towards the main door where Aayush, Aryan and Aryans mother was standing with their hands folded.

It was expected from Neeti but Damad ji you also, and made this innocent girl part of your plan, Sunita spoke glaring at the couple.

Badi maa, I didnt call him here this time!, Neeti spoke giving her explanations

This time?, Aayush asked.

Because I caught them last time it was fun, Aryan said with a chuckle.

Ishu, how can you help them, you should not support them in this, Aayush said looking at her sister who was looking confuse.

But bhai they are getting married then why they are not allowed to meet, she asked, at this point she was looking very cute with her confused expression. Aryan was enjoying looking at her, he was observing her only finding her most interesting in the room.

Beta its a part of ritual that bride and groom should not meet till marriage it is considered inauspicious.

Oh, I am sorry aunty, I didnt know about this, she apologizes feeling bad in helping Neeti.

Oh, common Ishu we are sisters, right?, Neeti asked her with a smile.

Dont manipulate her or else Ill postpone your marriage, Sunita threatens her.

I am so sorry Badi Maa this wont happen again it was my fault, Raj apologizes.

Hmm good now go back to your house and directly come on your wedding day, Sunita told her went back to her room leaving five of them in the room.

As soon as Sunita left Aryan and Aayush started laughing.

Dont laugh Ill see you both when your time will come. Neeti huffed.

Keep waiting, I and Aayush already decided that we wont do such rituals so no problem, Aryan said making fun of her.

You both are so bad, I wanted to spend time with her, Raj complained.

Common Jiju, it just matters of some days, take her with you then and do whatever you want to, go on honeymoon, kiss her we wont disturb you then, Aryan spoke.

His words made Ishitas eyes wide.

He looked at her and then chuckled at her expression earning a smack from his best friend.

Dont talk rubbish in front of my sister, Aayush spoke.

OK now everyone goes back to your room, Neeti spoke shooing everyone away.

Raj also left with a sad pout on his lips. With that everyone slept.

To be continued.
