AVENGING LOVE

Epilogue : I Found You

*The song on which Abhimanyu and Akshara are dancing*

~

“Katherine! It's time.”

Akshara, dressed in a floor length, lilac tulle gown having off-shoulder puffed sleeves, her straight hair open while ending at her waist in soft curls, said barging into the bride's room of the banquet.

“How am I looking ?” - Katherine asked, twirling around in her classic white bridal gown.

Akshara teared up.

The girl she had met at DU, who had become her one of the most trusted friends, was going to get married today. And it came as a surprise to their friends as during their time at UPUBS, everybody thought, the first to get married among their friends, would be Akshara Abhimanyu.

They had just graduated last month as the best badge of MBA at UPUBS and here they were now, attending Katherine and Edward's wedding. And Akshara couldn't control her emotions as she stood infront of the bride as Maid Of Honour while Yashal, Kiran and Riya were dressed in golden gowns for bridesmaid. Each holding a bouquet in their hands.

“Aksharaaaa...” - Katherine whined, looking at her teary face. “Abhimanyu is right. You do have a drum of water inside you.” - she teased while wiping her tears and Akshara chuckled. Engulfing her in a warm embrace.

“Guyssss! How can you hug without me ?” - Yashal exclaimed in mocked offense and dived into the hug, Kiran following soon after.

“Okay now stop making me tear up. I want to look pretty on my big day.” - Katherine said in her classic dramatic style, shooing them away.

Akshara laughed, shaking her head. And stepped out of the room along with Yashal, Kiran and Riya as procession was going to start.

“I am looking fine na...” - Edward asked for the nth time and Abhimanyu rolled his eyes.

They were making their way towards the altar and Edward had been continuously asking that question all the way from the hotel to the banquet.

“Ed! You're looking like a trash bag.” - he said boredly, causing Neil, Rohan and Asim to dissolve into laughter.

Edward sputtered. Looking at him flabbergasted.

“But you said I was looking handsome when I asked you this just 5 minutes ago!” - he exclaimed, checking his appearance frantically.

“But you clearly didn't believe and asked again. So, naturally, I thought you want to hear a different statement.” - Abhimanyu replied smirking, sending their friends into stitches due to laughter.

Edward glared at him before shoving him playfully and stood at the altar.

“Careful! I'm your Bestman. If I got injured, who's gonna fulfill the job ?” - he asked raising his eyebrows.

Their friends finally calmed down. Wiping the moisture from their eyes and decided to head towards the girls as they saw the Pastor arriving and almost all the guests, taking seats. Lead by the bride's and groom's families.

The wedding procession began exact at 8 PM. Moving in order, Rohan, Edward's first Groomsman, walked down the aisle with Kiran, Katherine's Bridesmaid and got seated. Next came, Asim, his second Groomsman, escorting Yashal down the aisle before taking seats. Then came, Neil, the third Groomsman, and walked down the aisle with Riya.

It was now the turn of the Bestman. Abhimanyu, dressed in a pale blue tuxedo, walked down the aisle escorting the Maid Of Honour; Akshara and took his place right beside the groom at the altar while Akshara took her position.
