Waited For You

Chapter 7

Author's POV

The same day in the evening was the haldi ceremony of Advik & Nihanshi which ofcourse was another type of fun event with people playing Holi rather than just applying the haldi. Atharv threw a full bucket of mud which he specially arranged for that event on Advik. Nobody applied anything other than haldi on Nihanshi because she strictly gave a deadly warning to everyone that she will tore the dress they would be wearing on the wedding but she too was completely submerged under the thick layer of haldi 😂.Like this the ceremony came to an end and everyone departed towards their respective rooms to clean up themselves and have rest as both the events proved to have drained out all the energy from everyone. After the event the corridors and other outdoor sites were mostly empty with only very few people. Sanchi too came out of her room after having a good amount of sleep to her favourite spot of the palace, the pool and dipped her leg inside the water.

She was unable to apply mehendi on her hands so she decided to complete that task during that hour. She completed the mehendi of her left hand but could not do the same with her right hands ofcourse because she was not a lefty😶. She kept the mehendi cone beside her dropping the idea to stain her other hand but meanwhile Atharv sat beside her and taking the mehendi cone he asked " May I ?"

ATHARV 's POV:-

It feels so good now. The sleep was very much needed. I was aimlessly walking around the corridors and reached to the pool side only to witness a very cute scene. Sanchi was sitting beside the pool applying mehendi on her left hand but then it was her right hand's turn which frustrated her to next level. My subconscious mind was finding it very cute but the other part of it was denying to feel that way for her. Keeping aside the ongoing battle of thoughts I headed towards Sanchi, picked the mehendi cone which was kept beside her and offered her my help by spreading by palm and asking "May I ?"

SANCHI 's POV :-

Someone asked May I and I turned towards that direction and to my surprise Atharv was sitting beside me with the mehendi cone. Our eyes had a contact and I forwarded my right palm towards his hand. I was not supposed to do that but again I did otherwise because his eyes just reflected pure emotion and nothing else. He tenderly held my right palm and gracefully started making mehendi design. I had my full focus on him that I did not realise when he filled my hand. Traces of past events came rushing to my mind. Sometimes I too want to believe this, believe everything but then I realise I cannot do that, not this time. I came out of my thoughts when he said it's done. I examined my hand and it was looking awesome. I thanked him and said "You really are multi-talented. Great job. It's awesome." He replied a thank you and was going to move out from the pool but I called his name as something came to my mind and he turned towards me with raised eyebrows to ask what.

O God calm down Sanchi, calm down he is not that handsome ki tera heart rate itna bhad Jaye. I quickly calmed myself as borned actress I am and said "Day after tomorrow Advik aur Anshi ki shaadi hai. They would be tied officially as husband and wife so they have just one day to live as girlfriend and boyfriend. To spend their time as partners but without official tag. And also shaadi ke rasmo ki wajah se they are not able to meet each other so I wanted to plan a night date for them before their wedding. I needed someone's help and aap bhi jiju ke bestfriend ho so I thought it would be better to ask your help rather than anyone else because I don't want ki kisi ko pata chale unke date ke baare mein. You know na according to rasam they can't meet. So can you help me?" He paused for a minute and then nodded a yes and asked "So tell me what I have to do?"
I explained him everything and he was convinced that the idea and planning was good. After that we both headed towards our respective rooms.
