💐14. The Engagement Day, Part 1.💐

Manushika.s POV:

Today is the day of our engagement and I am too excited for it. The venue is superb and everything is set. I was getting ready and few of my friends helped me do my makeup.

This is my dress and makeup. Omg I look like a goddess indeed.

**-----------------------------------**

In the living room:

"Lakshmi, you got my pills, right?"

"Yeah dear. And did you invite the Menon family?"

"Of course! By the way, my wife has become more beautiful."

"Oh, thank you." Lakshmi blushed and Mohan was about to do some romance with her. Just then Varun came into the living room.

Laksmi's dress:

"Parents these days." Varun said, chuckling.

Varun's dress:

"Dude, you ready?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, here take this." Varun threw a chocolate to Alex.

"Thanks man."

"I will take the Toyota."

"I will take the BMW."

The two best friends started their car and waited for the family members to get in.

"Where is Aisha?" Alex asked to himself. He called Varun through even though they both were centimeters apart.

"Will Aisha be coming?"

"Maybe I don't know." Varun said through the phone.

Alex hung up the call just then Aisha came in front of him.

Gazing at Aisha, who was wearing a stunning saree, Alex swallowed and was momentarily rendered speechless.

He noticed that she had a little cleavage shown, which she later covered up with her saree. Her face took on an elegant look thanks to the bindi. Her makeup was minimal, consisting only of kajal and a pink lip shade. Well that pink lip shade, she made it her own way. By crushing beetroot and mixing coconut oil in it.

"Aisha!"

"Hi.."

"Good morning!"

"Good morning."

"Oh, where did you get this beautiful saree from?"

"This... I got this from a very nice mother. The tale is lengthy."

"Get in the car first." Aisha nodded after Alex spoke.

"This car is beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you."

"What?"

"Nothing; tell me the long story; I want to hear it."

"Well, all right. But nobody is riding in the car with us?"

"Nope." (I want no one to sabotage our special moments.)

Aisha started talking as soon as he turned on the car.

"So, our mother, Gauri, resides close to our home. She works as a tailor, so occasionally we give her any snacks or desserts that I make. She also adores me greatly. To me, she resembles my mother. I informed her a few weeks ago that where I work, there is going to be a marriage function. And the couple will get engaged on Saturday. After listening to me, she inquired as to whether or not I had a dress for that special day. Despite lying, I said yes. Then she gave me this saree only yesterday. I broke down in tears because I felt so overwhelmed." As she was saying this, she started to cry a little.

"Aww." Alex used his thumb to dab away her tears.

"You look so cute and lovely in this saree." He said sweetly.

"Thank you, and you look handsome too."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"Pink suits your skin."

"Yeah.."

"All thanks to the kind mother."

"Right."

Both of them smiled and Alex looked at her features.

He suddenly stopped the car.

"What happened?" Aisha said.

"There is something here."

"Where?"

Alex ignored her question and took out a tiny leaf which was stuck on her hair which was left open on her shoulders.

Aisha closed her eyes, feeling his sudden touch on her.

"Now fine." Aisha opened her eyes when she heard his voice.

"Let's click selfies."

"Selfies?"

"Yeah."

Alex took out his phone from his pocket and was ready to take selfies with her.

"Aisha pose like this." Alex said, acting like how she should pose. Aisha nodded and she did the same. She looked cute. He hold the urge to kiss her.

"So cute." Aisha blushed at his statement.

"Okay, let's hurry up."

"Yeah."
