Until I Found You

। Wedding Drama ।

" तुम हो
तुम हो पास मेरे
साथ मेरे हो तुम यूँ
जितना महसूस करूँ तुमको
उतना ही पा भी लूँ "

Today was the mehendi ceremony of Niharika, Aditya's cousin. That's why the hard work of decorating the entire place and preparing the mehendi had started since early morning.

Except for those who were at the bachelor's party last night, the rest of the elderly people had joined in the fun since early morning.

Sayantani quickly washed her hands and face, changed her clothes and came out of her room. Siddharth had left from there by then.

In the hustle and bustle around, Sayantani was unable to find any familiar face, aka Arpita, Ishaan, Siddharth or Aditya, so she went to Arpita's room and searched for her.

"Sayantani!". Hearing the call, Sayantani looked back.

Her eyes spark in admiration by seeing the person in front of her.

" Aunty, you look so beautiful!"

Seeing Aditya's mother behind her dressed in a beautiful saree, Sayantani held her hand lovingly and spoke.

Mrs. Malhotra smiled, "thank you baccha!"

She smiled, "aunty, where are they?"

" They're on that side" she pointed her finger in a particular direction.

"They're decoreting the Sangeet stage for evening. I was just asking them about you and they said that you're still sleeping".

"Haa, I just woke up". She said awkwardly.

"It's ok. Go and have fun" Mrs. Malhotra said, patting her cheeks adorablely.

She smiled and we're about to go but Mrs. Malhotra called her back again.

"Tumne abhi Tak shower nahi liya na?" She asked.

Sayantani was wearing shorts, beneath an oversized tee. Her hair was also very messy.

" I really should pay attention on my appearance". She thought, being insecure again about herself.

While adjusting her clothes she said in a low voice, bringing a smile on her face to hide the awkwardness, "haa, it was comfortable so I wore.."

"Aree it's ok! I was saying that, you don't need to take a shower in this cold. The temperature here is much more colder them Mumbai. You may catch a cold". She said in a motherly tone, breking her awkwardness an insecurity.

"Kuch der baad ladke Wale aa jayenge. Main tumhe bula lungi, tum tab shower le kar ready ho Jana mehendi ke liye!" She said softly yet joyfully.

"Hmm samjhi!" She said in a childlike voice, making her chuckled. Mrs. Malhotra patted her head gently, adoring her. "Jao aab".

"Tum shaytano ke toli ke bich ek main hi masoom fas geyi hu shayad". She said making a pout, faking a false anger when she saw them having fun together.

"Aree meri ladoo, aap to soo rahi thi na! Isiliye disturb nhi Kiya!" Aditya went to her, said softly while caressing her hair.

At that time Sayantani saw that Siddharth was smiling devilishly looking at her.

"Aur soo na, is khadoos ne subha subha meri nind ki dry rost kar di thi!" She said in her mind, being frustrated by Siddharth's smirk.
Again remembering the morning insult.
