RUDRADAMINI

A different place for mehendi 🫦

Damini POV -

Athi sundar lag rahi ho hamare rang mein rang ke, she complimented as she laid on the bed lazily, eyeing me with an amusing look.

My heart raced and I smiled shyly, biting my lower lip, trying to contain the wide smile and instantly ran out of her chamber, anklets jingling in the empty corridor, towards my chamber.

Itni derr kyon hogyi Rajkumarisa....aap toh haldi lagane gaye the... Kritika said groggily waking up from the chair near the door, as she closed the door. main aapki prateeksha kar rahi thi.....itna vilamb....

I turned to look at her blushing and she instantly stopped talking, her eyes widening, a smile forming on her face....

OOooooh..... she said walking towards me with a naughty smile

Toh iss kaaran se vilamb hua....haldi lagane gaye the aap....kya hogya ki aapko hee haldi laggaya? she asked me teasing me wiggling her eyebrows.

I narrated the story, leaving out the intimate details, hinting at them nevertheless.

And in the end, she asked me if I wanted to marry her...I said in low whisper and Kritika squealed and I immediately held her hands to calm her down

What did you say!! Tell me you said yess!!! she practically threatened me and I giggled

I did. I admitted shyly and she held my hands and spun me around laughing happily and I slowed down a little and so did she.

Yesss!!! Finally Rajkumarisa!!! You're getting married!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

I hugged her tightly, she is the sister, best friend all in one, I didn't know how I could live without her

Thank you so much Kritika!! But it's Jiji's wedding now, so let's concentrate on that. And moreover, I haven't told Masa or Bapusa about it formally, so there is still time....I said as we walked to the bathroom to wash my face.

She helped me and I washed off the haldi from my face. But the pink tint on my cheeks remained....the mark of her proposal. We walked to the bed and she made the comforters as I helped her

And now, we can think about your wedding to Bhadra bhaisa too, I teased Kritika. Now, she blushed furiously and muttered

N..nothing like that....Rajkumarisa....we, she tried explaining, her blush giving her away terribly

Kritika, you're my best friend. You really think I don't know what is happening in your life, hnh? I asked her and she gave me a shy smile and nodded.

I got into the comfortable bed, the thoughts of Rudra playing over and over again, finally drifting to a sleep.

The next day, it was a bustle. It was Jiji's mehendi and we had to prepare everything for it, so I didn't even have a moment to rest. Finally, after all the arrangements had been overseen and done, I went to get ready for the ceremony in the evening.

I donned a beautiful deep red lehenga for the occasion, making my hair into a braid and adorning myself with elegant jewels. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror, appreciating my beauty and made my way to the royal garden, where the Mehendi was going to happen.

It was evening and the twilight casting a soft glow on the entire earth, warming my heart, but I waited anxiously for her, Rudra.

The grand royal gardens buzzed with the chatter of the female guests as they gathered for the Mehendi ceremony. The air had the sweet scent of jasmine and the distant sound of the sitar and tabla filled the night.
