3 Idiots

Riley chuckled when she saw the guest list and their allotted rooms. She cross-checked the list one more time and walked towards her room. Although it had been two weeks since she came to India, she was hella busy with Shirley, helping her with the wedding stuff. Finally, the week is here and the big family shifted to the destination of the wedding in Udaipur. 

Riley was desperate to get sleep for a day, to get rid of the big bags under her eyes. Saying the best bridesmaid, Shirley took advantage of this poor girl and made her take marathons in town for anything and everything. Riley had to work hard to cope with someone's absence. 

"Riley" 

She turned around to see Rayan calling her. 

"See, which one -" 

"Not today Rayan. I am exhausted by your soon-to-be wife's chores, now, not yours too," Riley said, leaning on the wall. Rayan chuckled hearing her.

"It's nothing dear. Just tell me which colour Tyler wants," he said, showing the catalogues of brocade sherwanis. Riley's eyes widened upon hearing the name. Tyler is coming for the wedding the next day. So, he will be attending the Haldi, Sangeet and wedding. For Sangeet and Haldi, they chose ethnic wear, and for weddings, it's an indo-western fusion theme. 

"This one for Haldi and this one for Sangeet. It goes well with mine" she said after selecting two dresses. Rayan nodded and walked away after wishing her a good sleep. 

When Riley reached her room, she saw Shirley at her room's door, next to Riley's. Riley looked at the third door in that row and sighed. 

"Oh. Is that your room?" 

Riley shifted her gaze from the third door to Shirley and nodded with a small smile. 

"This is mine", Shirley said, pointing towards her own. 

"You said you don't have any hope for her. Then why did you book a room for her?" Riley taunted Shirley, who rolled her eyes in return.

"It's Rayan, not me. I am still saying she won't come." Shirley scoffed angrily. 

"She will, Shirl" Riley said with a hopeful face.

"Get a sleep, Jenner " saying that Shirley entered the room and slammed the door. The sound of her frustration echoed in that corridor. 

It's been six months since they went to Miami, and everything happened. And Larra didn't move her finger yet. No one could contact her in the last six months. Rayan's calls went straight to voicemail, and Riley's messages kept seen but unanswered. And Shirley, she just sent an invitation and the same last dialogue she said to Larra at Miami. But, no one got a reply. 

Shirley invited Tyler, Ron and Winnie. Tyler is coming but Winnie and Ron can't make it due to some emergency schedule. Unfortunately, three rooms will remain unused in the hotel. 

Even though Larra didn't respond, Riley and Rayan kept insisting that she would show up! 

The day went very well. Riley slept and snored like a pig. Rayan and Shirley met their distant relatives who came to stay in the hotel to attend their grand wedding. 

The next day, Riley got ready to meet her boyfriend after two months. Yes, Tyler kept visiting her and Ron frequently in the UK.

Speaking of Ron, the guy couldn't get over the brunette completely, but he was trying, Even though every time he released his inner demons screaming her name, earning a slap or curse from the girl under him! He didn't dare to contact her, and he didn't even dare to forget her! Knowing his struggles, Riley didn't pressure him to attend the wedding. It's better this way. If they both met at the wedding, it would be awkward.
