Once Upon A Wedding

|twenty three|

I STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE grassland, the winds whirling around me, my floral dress dancing along with it. My hair flowed wildly, as I gazed at my prince charming approaching me with a huge grin stretched on my face.

His dark hair flowed and sprawled across his forehead, making his handsome face glow. The moment his eyes connected with mine, I felt myself blush, while he showcased his deep dimples.

One I can't stop licking and obsessing over...

Ahaan's speed increased while I held my arms up in the air, waiting for him to sweep me off the ground on his magical chariot and take me away to our dream home.

"Meza... My favourite candy!" His eyes held the happiness of the world while he came nearer.

"Ahaan... The chocolate to my bread.." He looked at me like I was the only woman in the world.

He came nearer and nearer, his size increasing. I waited eagerly among the grasslands to see his magical chariot with golden horses, or a limo waiting for me.

And there he came.

On a...

Mule?

My smile fell.

"My candy!!" Ahaan got down from the Mule and came running to me.

"Let me kiss you, my gulab jamun..ummmuahhh" he pouted even more and came nearer and nearer, his lips nearing me.

And then.

"MEZA!!" I almost shrieked at the jerk on my arm. Ahaan looked worried at my face, concern evident.

"You okay? You were..." Ahaan fell short of words while I stared at him, trying to comprehend between reality and dream.

It was a dream.

Ahaan coming to meet me on a mule was a dream.

I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL—

Who?

When I looked back at Ahaan, his lips came into my view and just like that, my cheeks flushed. I froze in my position in front of him, staring at him wide-eyed.

We kissed.

As in lips to lips.

As in tongue to tongue.

As in—

Okay... Calm down.

Arggghhhhhhh!!

I felt like dancing in the rain, flowing through the wind and kissing him again. But one glance at his awkward face and I was an awkward mess. My face turned red, while my hands shook a little.

"Why were you pouting in your sleep?" He asked softly, yet I felt his voice was on edge.

I was granted one more reason to get embarrassed. I felt more shy and more hesitant.

Great. Just great. After gathering my guts and making the first move—and miracle! Miracle, the guy hopefully likes me back— I managed to embarrass myself in front of him first thing in the morning.

"I..."

He silently urged me to continue, but I was at a loss for words.

"I... I was getting a lip filler, I guess" I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind.

Ahaan's face twisted, while he watched me funnily. "W-hat?"

Before I could respond, a knock on the door broke the moment. I was so relieved when Prachi shouted to come down for breakfast.
