The Haldi function started  next morning and we all were super enthusiastic about it, i could not sleep the whole night properly because of the excitement- there was a cool drink in my hand.

i was sipping away at the drink in my hand and observing all the guests, we went floral and pastel for the theme of the wedding because it is summer right now, and we are having brunch first before the actual haldi ceremony. the spread lying on the table ranges from Italian, and continental to local Rajasthani dishes. after everyone completed the brunch, we gathered at the 

haldi playlist playing in the background, we sat in our seats for the Groom and bride and there was our haldi bowl ready....my mother and aunty applied haldi to the groom first as it is required to do so, also Anand's dadi, his mother, aunts, and cousins applied it to him. after that they remove haldi from his cheeks and placed it into the bowl again

next they brought the bowl to my side and started applying it to me with leaves.....anand was holding my hand in between the two seats and he took my hand rubbing it to his cheek and then coloring me with his hand- i was super afraid of ruining the dree but Tanmayi insisted on me wearing this dress.

more people applied haldi to us the more my dress got ruined and i was in a bad mood....my brother and tanmayi were in their own world playing haldi everyone else was playing haldi and dancing

there were performances too, my cousins did a performance

this haldi was like a pool party, we played with haldi first and then with water later....my brother poured a whole bucket of water on me while laughing

tanmayi and my sisters were applying haldi and throwing water at anand . everyone was busy playing and i was thirsty so, i went to the counter to drink something and save my dress somehow but a hand held mine in the middle....i looked back to find anand trailing behind me.

he had a mischievous look on his face and as i expected he rubbed my face with haldi, after 2 hours of playing i was exhausted.....

"stop it yaar anand" i said

"nope" he said

"nandu" i said and he melted

"i am going to drink water" i said

"okay" he followed me

"you hate spoiling your dress?" he asked and i nodded with water in my mouth

"don't worry lets buy another one" he assured

"is that the problem now? don't show off" i rolled my eyes

"buying a dress for my wife is showing off now?" he replied

"wife? since when?" i said "now, soon to be" he suggested

"nope, i am cancelling this...dadi" i teased and he pulled me towards himself...dragging me away from dadi smiling...."mahashay ji, leave me alone ahhh"

we both drank some juice afterwards and i took  back watermelon juice with me and continued playing the whole after noon

tannu my bestiee looed like she was having the time of her life teasing my poor brother.

Tanmayi's pov

i asked sahas chirag bandar parihar to be my boyfriend yesterday- i know fake boyfriend, i clearly know that he has a crush on me, but what should i do about it? men have crushes all the time- maybe he is interested in me just for fun, he will date me and leave me just like all the others did.

may be i will find him boring after dating for a while- i can do this 'date and say good bye' thing to anyone else but not to him, he is my best friends brother and i don't want to feel awkward every time we meet after that... but not only that he is my boss too, i love my job okay, however good of a boss he is he cannot stand an ex in his work place right?
