Stoic, handsome and ruthless businessman, Siddharth Chauhan has been cursed with a past he cannot escape.
"Sell the lake house and marry within 2 years" A single clause threatens everything he has worked hard to achieve. What will he do when he is...
Its 7 am .....maa and di are all rushing around me with my makeup artist and my dress designer, everyone crowding the room. For once I am grateful for the people around as they are helping me keep my mind off things..... Siddharth.
We have to reach the mandap in 2 hours. I am almost ready...... only the veil and the payal are left. I look into the mirror for the 10th time... unable to believe that Its my wedding today...... I look beautiful..... The hairdo, the lehenga.....everything is perfect...... only things missing are my parents...... They would be happy wouldn't they.
"Beti.... are you ready for this?" maa asks
"Ji maa." I say with a smile
"When will papa be here?'" I ask
"In 30 more minutes...... they are directly arriving at the venue." maa says
I nod...."They?" I ask
"Yes beta....... your uncle." maa says
I suck in a sharp breath..... I didn't need to be reminded about that monster today........
What if he keeps his words? What if he tells Siddharth everything??? My heart races at the thought. No .... I hold myself.
"Annika...... I need the jewellery set that your mother in law gifted you." Di says
Yesterday... 30 boxes of jewellery sets and more than 50 sarees had been sent to the house when maa and di had arrived....... It was a gift from my mother-in-law, Siddharth didn't like it, I could tell.
"Di I can't give it to you..... It was shagun." I say
"What? Seriously..... she gave you so many and you can't even give me one?" di yells
I look at maa. I didn't want to fight with her today.... atleast not today.
The makeup artist calls for me
"Ma'am ... its time to put on your veil." She tells me....giving my sister side eye
"Yes." I say as I sit in front of the dresser
"Do you want us to ask her to leave ma'am?" she whispers to me
I look at her embarrassed.... and nod
"I want to work with the bride alone.... we need space... so everyone please move out of the room." She says
"But we are getting ready too." Di says
"Ma'am you need to leave......I need space to work on the bride." she says in a stern voice
Di huffs
"Annika....tell her it doesn't matter." di says
"Di-" I start
"Radha...come on." maa says
"But maa...." di says
"Radhika." maa says in a stern voice.
Once everyone leaves, I look at the makeup artist thanking her.
"Its part of our job ma'am." she says smiling
She fixes my veil..... and oh my god.... I had tears in my eyes.
"You look really pretty ma'am." she says with a warm smile
"Thank you so much for your efforts." I say
