Tarini's Pov

I am not used to so much love, so much effort, so much care...
Ridhi, she is my childhood friend, my sister I know she cares for me but for all these people I'm just an outsider, I am new to them and yet they did so much...

My heart is feeling all this after many years. My heart beats fast only when there is any problem in life but today it beats faster knowing that i might not be able to contain so much care and love.

"Khabardaar agar ab aur aasu bahaye toh, kaan khichungi main tumhare."
(Dare you shed more tears now, i will pull your ears.)
Reena aunty said cupping my cheeks while giving me a warm smile.

" We all are here for you Tarini!"

"I am telling you if you have them around they will not let anything happen to you."

These words were ringing in my ears. The priest was right, first they did not let me feel alone and now... They don't even know the whole story yet they all prepared so much for us.

"Thank you so much for everything." I managed to say with my shaky voice, holding back my tears.

"The credit goes to Someshwar for this Tarini, he was there by my side when i was sitting alone, clueless."

Ridhi said smiling at Someshwar.
This was all his idea? But how? I will think about the how's and why's later. He made my Ridhi feel better, he deserves to be praised for it. When i looked at him he scratched the back of his neck feeling embarrassed. That redness is back on his cheeks and ears again. The name suits you 'Himachali Apple'...

"Thank you so much Someshwar... For doing all this. I appreciate it."

"What do you mean Thank you?"

He said looking serious which made me surprised at first. Everyone else had the same reaction to his tone.

"Yeah, who says Thank you to friends? I just could not see YOU being sad... I mean you, Ridhi... even Boss was sad. I just helped her in remembering something that's all."

Seriously? Is he the same guy who works at the office with utmost seriousness and dedication? Reena aunty slapped his shoulder and Surya gave him a 'Dramebaaz toh tu bhi hai' look.

"Still,uh... You guys look so Good. You all put so much effort to get dressed and all so, let me click a picture."

I saw Krisha and Robin bhai were back. I quickly ran away from them taking out my phone to click a picture. Robin bhai was giving Someshwar side eye but he still posed for the picture.

"Beta, you have to be in this picture too come on, it's incomplete without you."

I am not a fan of getting my pictures clicked but i can't refuse Reena Aunty either so putting the phone camera on timer i ran back just in time to be in the picture. Almost bumping into Someshwar again but he gave me a smile asking me if I'm fine. His smile... It's so... Beautiful. I don't think i have ever witnessed someone with a smile like that.

We all sat down on the big couch and everyone engaged themselves in some conversation. I also got to know that it was after years Reena aunty wore a Saree again and she looks absolutely stunning. Even the guys look great.
