Nandini POV:

Everything was set. Navya's bachelorette party was in full swing two days before the wedding day just so she didn't have a hangover the day of. All her close friends had flown in; Sanyukta,Twinkle, Baby, Ayesha, Anika and Tia. They were all wonderful people that I had a great time with, especially Twinkle. She was a super-model and had met Navya at a fashion show both of them were doing in Paris and hit it off immediately. Twinkle's American  background was an interesting topic for discussion, and we promised eachother to plan a trip there soon.

By the time we came back home in the limo, we were all hammered. Navya had reached her limit of 'knock-knock' jokes and Anika of all her blonde jokes. It was like they were having a lame-joke war without even knowing it. The long trek to my room seemed too long, so I just crashed on Manik's bed in his room. He still wasn't back from the bachelor party, despite the fact that it was almost 4 o'clock in the morning. I didn't worry much though, and pulled the covers over my face and fell asleep instantly.

The next morning was brutal, of course. The pounding in my head was so strong that I didn't even notice the man snoring beside me, and as a rush of nausea hit me, I jumped out of bed and into the toilet. Throwing up as soon as I woke up wasn't something I liked to do, but considering I had drank my weight in alcohol last night, it was inevitable. I heard a groan from the direction of the bed while I was brushing my teeth, and looked to see Manik clutching his head as he tried to get up. I spat out the toothpaste and rinsed my mouth, smiling at him.

"Rise and shine, sleepyhead," I said, deliberately talking in a high-pitched voice to annoy him.

He looked up and 'shush'ed' me. I grinned and gave him an asprin from the bedside table along with the bottle of water I had left there before the party began. He gave me a grateful smile and took it, handing the bottle back to me. I followed his example and downed the pill, hoping it would work it's magic soon.

I was about to go get a change of clothes I had stashed in Manik's closet, but he pulled back my hand before I could leave. "Don't I get a good morning kiss?" he said, his voice husky from the drinking.

I wrinkled my nose at him. "Not when you smell of beer, love." I laughed at his offended expression and stood on my tip toes to kiss him. "Good morning again. Now come on, we have to get ready so we can help Navya and Alia with everything. There's alot to do with wedding just a day away."

Manik groaned again. "When this wedding's over, I will be an extremely happy man. Especially when I don't have to see my sister making out with her soon-to-be-husband all the time."

"That's something we'll all be grateful for," I said, grimacing. Navya and Cabir's  PDA was something that annoyed everyone in the house, but thankfully they were going to Hawaii for their honeymoon so we would be free of that torment.

"I just wish that we could stay in all day," Manik said with a wistful smile gracing his features. "Have breakfast in bed and just talk, or watch movies. Just the two of us, no interruptions."

"I'd like that, too, and we will do that when the wedding is over. I promise," I said, and starting busting out dance moves while singing 'Nothing's gonna stop us now."

Manik was laughing hysterically and so was I when Alia burst through the door without knocking. The panicked look on her face had me shut up in an instant.

"What happened?" I asked, trying not to panic.

"Cabir ripped his tuxedo while trying it on! The jacket's seam split through all the way," she screamed.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized our lives were not at risk. "It's okay, Alia, all we need to do is drop the tux back off at the atelier and have them fix it. We still have a day before the wedding and it's gonna be fine."
