FROM DARE TO LOVE (Editing)✔

CHAPTER 37

Next morning, I groan hearing the alarm clock ring.

'*********' Ruchi curses, unwillingly I sit up straight rubbing my eyes I extend my hand and pick up the alarm clock. Its 7am, Haldi ceremony will be around 4pm. I need to get ready quick, the decorators and caters will be coming along with Anil and I must supervise them, Ruchi is useless anyways, so I let her sleep.

I take a long hot shower, and dress up in V-neck red half sleeved jumpsuit, my hair is wet so I let it open.

I come out from the room, I dialed the carter and am waiting for someone from other side to pick up the call.

I accidently passed by Riad's room, I hid behind the wall and watch him. Riad is sitting at the edge of his bed and exercising with his dumb bells. He seemed to have been exercising since long as I see his blue tank top wet with sweat, his muscles glistening with sweat as well. I lick my lips eyeing his flexing muscles, I felt a tingly feeling between my legs as I watch him lustfully.

The other person picks up the call, and starts to repeat "Hello" but I am lost in Riad.

'What are you doing here?' I hear a female voice and I panicked, I almost dropped my phone. I turn around and find Urooj standing there and I gulped. Shit! She is the last person I wanted to catch me secretly admiring Riad.

She frowns at me as I babbled an excuse that I got lost. She raised her eyes brows before giving me directions to get to kitchen. I nod, but as I make my way she says 'Stay away from this room'

I nod, for the first time she has used a stern tone. I guess she like Riad still thinks I will be repeating the same thing as that night, how I wish I can tell them, assure them that whatever happened that night was a prank gone wrong.

I had my breakfast in the kitchen before everyone else, and soon I get busy with preparation. Ruchi joined me soon and together we get super busy running around. Hanan also offers her help, which I politely refused and asked her to rest. I hate anyone interfering in my work and more than that I hate this woman. If I can have it my way I will tie her up to a missile and launch her into space.

The carters and the decorators were on time and everything is going smoothly. The function will be taking place in the living room, the sofas have been moved and white mattresses and long pillows arranged on the floor, the living room decorated, yellow and white being the theme. Ruchi calls me from the caters side and informed that everything was all-okay there. I am relieved. By 3.00pm almost everything was done, the decorators left. I place my arm around Ruchi's shoulder and we smile brightly content with the final product.

3.30 Anil comes and we asked him to check the lighting and everything, if there is anything he report to us ASAP.

After everything, we decide to get ready. Everyone has already started to dress up and we are last ones. Normally I don't bother much with dressing up, I am just the wedding planner but this is different. I have to grab Riad's attention and look thousand times more beautiful than Hanan.

Ruchi is first one to get dressed, she is dressed is yellow backless Kurthi and white Patiala matched with white dupatta. I dressed myself in yellow and white lehengha with yellow backless choli (it had many knots at the back much to my annoyance) and white lehenga, the choli is short exposing my flat stomach. I wish I too had navel stud like Hanan does, it will look sexy. I combed my hair and let it loose resting on my shoulder. Ruchi gave me her favorite perfume, she assured me that this will drive Riad insane. I hope he does to crazy.

As I and Ruchi come out from our room we see Hanan come out from Riad's room, I frown. She is looking so stunning (as usual) in a yellow golden choli and white lehengha, it has large golden borders at the ends. Her dupatta spread and resting on one side of her shoulder. Her hair tied in lose fish tail braid and resting on her other shoulder.

My gaze falls on her glistening navel stud, there is also a delicate golden waist band around her petite waist.

Damn! She is sexy, but what the hell was she doing in Riad's room.

She seems to be in hurry, 'have you seen Urooj?' she asks us and we shake our head. She sighs. I ask her what happened and if everything is alright.

'Riad is an idiot I tell you; he has pulled out the first two buttons of his Kurtha...Urooj will fix it' she says

'There isn't time for that, Urooj is busy. Aleesa knows how to stitch buttons she does it for her brother...'Ruchi intervenes. I felt my heart flutter at the thought of it. Hanan sighs happily and asks me go and help him before he breaks more buttons. She giggles and leaves, Ruchi nudges my arm and when I look at her she winks at me.
