Alia's POV

"Get out now!"

"Alia let me explain..."

"We'll talk outside." I say and go outside and shut the door behind me.

Shraddha's POV

"Oh no!" I exclaim.

"What is it?" Sidharth and Varun say in sync.

"The decorations. We forgot to buy decorations! Sidharth the sangeet's in two days! What are we going to do? Our weddings going to be a disaster?!"

Varun and Sidharth burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?!"

"You." Varun says.

"Shraddha listen. It's our day and nothing can spoil it. We've had so many obstacles and now finally we're going to have our happy ending. Calm down." Sidharth says.

I take a deep breath in and out.

"Okay. So what are we going to do? Let's go shopping now!"

"Shraddha we're one step ahead of you!" Jacqueline and Mum walk in.

"While you and Alia shopped for jewellery and shoes we went to the market and around the wedding shops. We got the decor and we got the food all ready." Jacqueline explains.

"Thank God. You saved the day!" I say.

"And we've sent everyone the invitations online via messages and Facebook."

"Yay! Wait... I really hope you didn't invite Polly Patel! Jacqueline if you invited Polly Patel, I'll kill you. And Bunty! Oh my Bunty he was so annoying!"

"Chill Shraddha I still remember your enemies."

"Hey guys!" Kriti walks in with who I think must be her boyfriend.

"Hi Kriti." We all say.

"Everyone, meet my fiancé Sushant!"

"Wait, fiancé?!" I exclaim.

"Sushant proposed yesterday."

"And you told me today! How come you didn't rush over yesterday!"

"Because it's your guys' wedding! And anyway it was after dinner at nine. It was so romantic."

"Oh I'm so happy for you Kriti. But why isn't he speaking? Hello. Oh I'm so sorry can he not speak? Is it because he's fascinated by my beauty?" I joke.

"No I can speak. Hi Shraddha. Hi Jacqueline. And you must be Varun and Sidharth." He shakes their hand.

"And this is Shraddha and Jacqueline's mum."

"Namaste Aunty Ji."

"By the way, where's Alia? I haven't introduced her to Sushant." Kriti asks.

"She must be somewhere here." Varun says.

"Anyway, Jacqueline are you married? Or do you have a boyfriend..."

"I'm married. To my husband Salman. But he's a business man. He's always abroad and working. Here let me show you a picture of him."

"Oh you guys seem really happy

"Oh you guys seem really happy." Sushant says.

"Thank you."

"Come on why don't we find Alia?" I say.

Alia's POV

"Aditya you better explain yourself? First you just leave without giving me a proper explanation and then you show up uninvited! What am I supposed to think?!"

"I'm sorry Alia. But I've come to rectify things. I saw on Facebook that you were getting married." Aditya says.

"Well you're not invited. Especially after all he things you've done! Is it true Aditya. Did you really do that to Shraddha. Twice?!" I exclaim.

"Look I'm not proud..."

"You disgust me! How could you? Was this all a facade? All this time I thought you were my honest, loyal, caring older brother when all along... I'm actually ashamed to be related to you!"

"Alia please don't say that." Aditya says.

"Please just go before Sidharth and Shraddha comes. They do not need you right now. Please don't spoil it for them. Just go. At least for me. Just go okay?"

"I'm not going anywhere! Okay. Now listen to me A-"

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Shraddha exclaims.

"Listen, you're not wanted here - so get out." Sidharth fumes.

"Just give me a chance to explain..."

"Aditya please if you have any humanity left in you then leave." Varun says.

"GO!!!! KAMINO!" Shraddha screams.

"Oh remember when I got you a kamino Alia? Oh sorry wrong time." Varun says.

"I mean: KAMINA!" Shraddha screams.

"Just go."

"Fine. But I'll be back!" Aditya says.

"Who was that?" Kriti asks.

"Just forget him." I say.

"Anyway Alia this is Sushant. My fiancé. He proposed yesterday."

"Omg Kriti that's great news." I hug her. "Nice to meet you Sushant."

"Nice to meet you too Alia."

"Why don't we go inside?" Jacqueline says. "Let me give you guys some snacks."

We all go inside and sit down.

"Would you guys like anything? Tea? Coffee."

"Just a glass of water." Sushant and Kriti says.

Jacqueline brings a tray of biscuits and two glasses of chilled water.

"So you guys are coming to the wedding?" Jacqueline asks.

"Yep. We'll be there for the sangeet aswell."

"So when are you two planning on tying the knot?" I ask.

"Hopefully soon next year." Sushant answers.

Suddenly we hear two simultaneous crying.

"Oh it's the twins. I'll go get them." I say.

"Oh yeah Sushant Alia and Varun have twins. And Sidharth and Shraddha have a girl called Ayesha."

"Shraddha why don't we go fetch the kids and then you guys can hold them and see them?"

We all chat and we have a good time meeting Kriti and Sushant.

"Oh well we better be going. I'm going to have dinner with Sushant's parents. I'll see you guys on the sangeet."

We bid them farewell and then they leave.

"Shraddha don't worry. Everything will go smoothly..." I say but I'm not too sure myself...

Will the wedding go smoothly? Or will Aditya and Disha ruin the day?
