As soon as I saw Saira I knew her non stop teasing would start and I was right, she came towards me with a mischievous glint in her naughty eyes.

"Soooo di, she said smiling putting her arms around me, I can't wait to see jiju (brother in law) and how handsome and dashing he is" "shush I said blushing, you will get to see him later on, now let's go before dadi tells us off" quickly walking towards my scooty before she could say anything else and I get even more red, however I could hear her laughing in the background.

As I was about to sit in the front and put my helmet on she quickly ran and grabbed the keys from my hand and sat in front, " sorry di but I wanna drive today, you should just relax and enjoy yourself today, after all its a special day for you" the annoying brat said.

I sighed and let her drive knowing we had to hurry up. Luckily we got all our shopping done quickly, whilst driving on the way back we saw a wedding on the streets, and all the guests whom I assumed were from the groom's side were dancing like crazy, suddenly Saira stopped the scooty and rushed towards the dancing baraat and started dancing like mad, God that girl I thought she was so immature but loving she same time, how would I cope without her after marriage I thought sadly, she was my joy and happiness.

They were dancing to the popular bollywood track 'saajan ji ghar aaye' which made me suddenly think of 'him' I was so embarrassed thinking about a guy I had not even seen yet, looking at Saira sometimes I wish I was more like her, outgoing! She had no problems in talking to strangers and easily made friends, whereas I only had one best friend from a young age.

Waiting for Saira to finish dancing I thought about what clothes I should wear this evening, I wanted to make an impression but not go over the top, a lot of people said the colour blue brought out my eyes and I know dadi had recently brought me a new light blue anarkali suit, which I could match with my blue and gold bangles and my gold heels which luckily weren't too high, therefore I had little chance of falling and embarrassing myself, so that was decided I thought subconsciously, I decided to call out to Saira to get her to hurry up, we had to go home and cook, clean the house up and change.

At the same time as Sanam was calling our for Saira, Shahid's mother was calling for him "yes ammi I'm coming". Shahid hurriedly left all his work and headed towards his mother's room, he would leave anything if she called, he was what anyone would describe as the perfect son, brother, nephew, grandson, everyone knew that he would make a perfect husband as well so he had a lot of rishtas lately but he was unable to find 'the one'.

"Yes ammi you called' said Shahid entering his mother's room. "yes beta, this evening about 6 we are going to see a girl for you, and I want you to come along with us, we don't know the family personally but we have a mutual friend who seems to know alot about them, and she thinks their eldest daughter would be perfect for you, what do you think beta? "

"Well I guess there is no harm in looking, I have no problem in coming with you, but let me finish my work first, we still have time, checking his watch it was 1pm, as soon as I'm done I'll get ready" he replied.

He didn't really have any high expectations the girls he had seen so far were only interested in his name, money or looks, they were just interested in wasting money and fashion, but he wanted a girl who would complete him someone who would wake him up in the morning with a kiss, someone who would look after his needs and care for him, not a servant but a life partner. He wished this was the women for him as he had enough of looking.
