love or friendship?

Chapter 1

The present day

After an hour and a half,i  am finally ready.i checked out my reflection in the mirror,i draped a maroon kancheevaram silk saree which had traditional and elegant patterns on the pallu with no clumsiness.The colour complimented my complexion.My hair was perfectly done with two strands falling on my forehead.i put a decent make up and wore light,simple jewels.My mom wanted me to wear her jewels but i refused as i never preferred chunky ones."I'm finally done",i sighed.It was Riya's wedding today.She was a friend of mine since my college days.She always used to sit beside me in the class.We hardly listened to the lectures.All we used do was chit chat.We always had something to talk about.She was my only friend in fact."Only friend...?",I paused. Memories haunted me. I came out of my trance as I heard someone knock at my door.It was my mom."Are u done?" She asked."Yes ma,shall we leave," I nodded and walked out to the car.As I got into the car my phone beeped. It was riya's message.it read "where the hell r u?"with 2 angry faces.I smiled and accelerated. I didn't want to attend her wedding just to ignore meeting some of my so called friends.but riya wanted me to.I'm her best friend after all.people and memories kept haunting me.I never met anyone after my graduation. I hardly remained in touch with any even in Facebook. But riya had contact with all and had invited everyone. I had no option but to go through the embarrasment today.after 15 mins here I am,at the entrance of one of the huge wedding halls in the city.there were embellishing lights all the way from from the entrance.i pulled over and parked my car and got down.As i headed inside,"vaanga,vaanga"(plz come) Riya's mom greeted us cordially.She made us sit and spun around.I was cringing and wished to return soon.Suddenly my phone beeped"what the hell r u dng ter,u idiot,come to my room",it read.Riya's mom must have told her tyhat i reached.I suppressed my inner tantrums and walked to her room.As i opened the door i saw
Riya sitting inh in front of the mirror.She looked absolutely stunning in the red expensive silk saree.She wore chunky jewels from head to toe.The saree was neatly draped around her slender  and tall body."'looking great,na?",she chuckled."yeah,you are",i smiled."i know how difficut it must have been for you still it was my biggest day and i so badly wanted you to be with me.And I'm happy that you are here",she said hugging me.I hugged her  tightly.I then  helped her dolling up and her mom came there "hurry up girls the bride is wanted in the stage" she shouted.A tear escaped her eye as she saw her daughter.They hugged each other.We then moved towards the stage where the groom was seated.I made her sit and turned around to move but Riya rolled her eyes at me asking me to stay behind her.Now this made things more akward.I stood behind her facing the huge crowd.I could see some of my college mates.My eyes just scanned the entire hall and was stuck on a face.That was my mom.But whom is she talking to.I couldn't see the face as people kept moving blocking my view.Soon the mantras were over and the pandit said "kettimelam,kettimelam" in his high pitched voice and the hall was filled with the sound of the musicals.The groom tied the "thaali"(mangalsutra) around Riya's neck.Tyhe couple were busy with the rituals and i excused myself and went towards my mom and saw whom she was talking with.As i went closer my heart skipped a beat,"Shourya!" was all i could say.
