Rain: A Monsoon Love Story | A JJK series

Ch 6:- Mehndi time

(Song recommendation included, Keep Spotify open)

After 3 days

The whole mansion was lit up with golden lights.  People walked around in beautiful and grand clothes. After all it was the Mehandi ceremony of Neha and Akhil. Aaliya, who wore a grand olive green lehenga with golden embroidery was looking after the decorations. Her hair was tied in a waterfall braid style with some pearl pins attached to the braid. She wore a diamond choker necklace with matching earrings, a ring bracelet in her right hand.

The DJ played Indian songs making the vibes fun and exciting as the crowd was distributed in different places. Some near the Mehandi Artists, some in the food sections and some sitting and talking with other people.

"Arre bhaiya neeche!! Utna upar nahi!!" (Oh Brother down!! Not that high!) Aaliya yelled at the man who was adjusting the flower decorations. The man sighed as this was maybe the 50th time Aaliya was changing the spot. Aaliya looked at the position again and thought for sometime before showing thumbs up, making the man sigh in relief.

The man got down the ladder and turned, to see Mr. And Mrs. Ranawat as he joined his hands, "Bhai sab, kaam ho gaya, abhi Mera paisa de dijiye, hum nikal te hai" (Brother, work is done, now if you gimme my money, I'll get going) Mrs. Ranawat frowned, "Arre itni jaldi kya hai Bhai sab??" (But why is fast brother?) "Nahi behen, aapki beti ne bohut kaam kar waali, abhi jaana hoga.." (No sister, Your daughter made me do a lot of work, now I gotta go). Aaliya frowned and came forward, " Oh hello! Meine kya kiya??" (Oh hello! What did I do?)

"2 ghante se ek phool ka maal ko idhar udhar upar neeche kar waa rahi hai aap" (From 2 hours, you are making 1 garland of flower go this side, that side, up and down) Aaliya gasped at his accusations as they both started arguing. Mr. Ranawat chuckled, "Chaliye.." (It means let's go but in this context it means Ok) he removed his purse and gave the money as the man took it and walked away. Aaliya was glaring at the man as Mrs. Ranawat chuckled, "Aaliya, Jaa kar dekh, Neha aur Y/n kya kar rahe hai" (Aaliya, go and see what are Neha and Y/n doing). Aaliya nodded and walked towards Neha's room.

As she approached the room, she could hear laughters from the room. Knocking on the door, she waited for any response. "Come in!" She heard the words as she opened the door and looked at the girls in the room. Neha, who wore an emerald green lehenga with heavy golden, blue and green embroidery on the blouse edge of the skirt and a diamond choker necklace, sat in front of the dressing table as Y/n, who wore a white lehenga with white embroidery throughout the skirt and blouse, was curling Neha's hair with a hair curler. Her own hair curled and styled up perfectly as she wore a simple diamond necklace too.

"Abhi bhi taiyaar nahi hui madam??" (Still not ready madam?) Aaliya spoke in a teasing tone as Y/n chuckled, "Dulhan ko taiyaar karna ek challenge hota hai Aaliya, Perfect hona zaroori hai" (To dress up a bride is a challenge Aaliya, Being perfect is necessary) "Aur Agar perfect nahi hua toh tum dono ko Jaipur se bahar kar dungi!" (And if it's not perfect, then I'll throw you both out of Jaipur) Neha said in a threatening tone as Y/n and Aaliya laughed. There was another knock on the door. "Come in.." Aaliya said as the door opened revealing Jungkook.

He wore a white kurta which had some embroidery on the collar with white pants. "Ain't this kinda loose??" Jungkook said holding the edges of the kurta and looked at Aaliya but he noticed Y/n. He looked at her for a few minutes, noticing how enchanting she looked in that white lehenga. Y/n was laughing while talking something with Neha as Jungkook felt himself melt for her laughter and smile.

"Arre, don't tease him!" Aaliya's voice brought Jungkook back to his senses as he looked at Aaliya, "This kurta is perfect Jungkook, it's supposed to be like this..." She smiled and took some kajal from her waterline of her eyes and put it behind his ears, "Nazar na lage!" Jungkook frowned confused as Neha chuckled, "She means, No evil eyes fall on you" Jungkook made an 'O' face and nodded as Y/n chuckled again. Jungkook frowned looking at her but Y/n shook her head, "Chalo Neha di, late ho rahi hai" (Let's go Neha di, it's getting late) Neha nodded and got up as she walked away with Aaliya and Y/n.

(Play 'London Thumakda' from Queen for the vibes)

Jungkook scoffed and walked behind them. The atmosphere was filled with people as the night was beautiful. The decorations were gorgeous as all eyes fell on Neha, who walked in with Aaliya and Y/n on each of her sides. Jungkook sat in one side as Y/n, Neha and Aaliya sat together. The mehndi Artists started doing their work on Neha and Aaliya's hand as Y/n watched while having small talks with Neha.

Soon enough the family members joined the bride as they all sat near Neha while chatting and talking. The kids and friends of Neha and Akhil gathered in the center as they all started to dancing and enjoying the ceremony. Akhil was sitting right opposite to where Neha was sitting as he watched all the fun people were having while he was also getting mehndi in his hands. Jungkook was standing behind Y/n but with Mrs. Ranawat near Neha as they asked him to join too. A girl named Ananya, who was Neha's colleague, came towards them and held Y/n's hand, "Chal bro, dance karte hai!!" (Let's go bro, let's dance) Y/n gasped and shook her head as no, "Arre par-" "Kuch par war nahi, chal!!" ("But-" "Not buts, let's go"!)

Ananya was successful as Y/n got up and walked with them to the center. Jungkook watched her, curious to see what she is gonna do. Y/n tied her shawl to the side and started dancing and enjoying. Her body moved and enjoyed the beats of the song. Jungkook watched her intently as he noticed her smile and how she was enjoying the song. Her expressions and the way she was laughing. No sooner, even Aaliya and Neha joined as their Mehandi for hands were done.

Jungkook smiled as he was enjoying the vibes of this ceremony. He watched the grandeur and how Indians enjoyed the ceremony to the max. Akhil's eyes were fixed on his bride as he smiled at her. Jungkook walked to Akhil and patted his shoulder as Akhil chuckled. "You are so in love bro.." Jungkook said as Akhil shrugged, "She is a gem I'm honored to be having soon..." Jungkook chuckled, "Keeps her safe Bro.." "I'll cherish her for my whole life Jungkook..." Akhil said with a smile as Jungkook nodded, happy for his friends.

Jungkook turned to the crowd but he didn't see Y/n making him frown. Then he saw her sitting in her place as the mehndi artists were working on her hand now. Jungkook smiled as he noticed the small pout of her lips as she was focusing on the design they were making in her hand. His eyes focused on her which Akhil noticed as he chuckled, "Your eyes on Y/n?" Jungkook looked at Akhil and smiled, "She is interesting..." Akhil chuckled, he already understood what's gonna happen as he smiled and looked at his girl.

After few mins, Y/n was back at dancing as Jungkook was drinking the whiskey served while watching everything. He was having lots of fun, until his eyes caught something. Aaliya and Y/n were walking inside the mansion. Jungkook frowned and walked towards them.

They both walked inside Neha's room. "Ruk ja" (Wait) Aaliya walked to the washroom to wash her mehndi, which had dried off already. Y/n, who was back facing the washroom sighed waiting. She took some time as she was tired from all the dancing. She then felt someone hold her blouse lace as they were tying it. She sighed, "Thank go we were in a crowd, Or else Idk what would happen, and Thanfully you were near me Aaliya... I should've tied the lace tightly. My silly brain!" You talked as the person behind continued tying the lace. "BTW Aaliya, that Jeon is Kinda cute ryt..." The person stopped as you heard a deep chuckle,

"You think I'm cute Miss Y/n?"
