Part 10

Sai woke up from her sleep. She yawned and stretched her arms feeling content after having a good night's sleep. She checked the date on the calendar, less than a week left for her wedding. She got up to follow her daily routine all the while remembering that her aai had told her to be ready on time as they were invited over the lunch by a relative. Sai didn't know about it much but apparently, as her aai told her,  it was cultural ritual to invite would be bride and her family over lunch or dinner before the wedding.  Sai was never the one too much into rituals and customs. She nodded at whatever her parents told her to do in this matter.

Once she was already to start her day, she went down to ask her aai about the time they have to go for lunch. As she descended the stairs from her room to the living hall down there, she noticed her parents were looking tensed and worried over something.

"Aai, baba, Is everything alright? You look tensed?" Sai inquired as she made her way towards them.

Before they could have answered, the door bell rang. She looked around if anyone was up for opening the door, any family member or servant. She couldn't see anyone around so she decided to open it herself.

"Ye subah subah darwaze par kaun ho sakta hai?" She wondered and marched towards the door.

"Arre Sai, suno beta, ruko zara..." Alka kept calling her to stop.

But Sai didn't pay much attention as she thought she would check the door first, "Haan aai, zara darwaza toh khol loon."

"Nahi Sai beta, darwaza mat kholna." kamal shouted and almost ran after her to stop her but before she could have paid attention to it, she had already opened the door.

"Huh! What?" She turned around towards her parents to finally ask whats the problem but she didn't get any time. She heard a sound of camera a few times and when she turned around again to look at the door, she was stunned to see so many people at her door, some holding cameras, some mikes, some mobiles. There was a huge crowd and it looked like they were trying to crush each other to reach to her first.

"Who...who are these people? What are they doing here?" She asked more to herself than others as she couldn't understand a thing.

Before she could have a chance to react, few people were successful in  reaching out to her crossing the main gate of their house.

"Are you the mystery girl?"

"Whats your name?"

"Are you Virat Chavan's fiancee?

"Is it a love marriage ma'am or arrange marriage?"

"Whats the hurry for marriage? Or are you two already married and this is just for public announcement?"

"With the hurry you both are showing for marriage and the low key affair its going to be, is there any particular reason?"

"You are from very different family background, how you two even met?"

"Are you already pregnant with his baby thats why marriage is happening so soon?"
