A reason to live.

Chapter 12

It was 9am, we were done with majority of the work, the workers had to just put up a little more decorations. We decided to have breakfast and ma told me to start getting ready as I shouldn't be late.

I went to my room and locked it. I went over to the music player and put on my favorite slow Bollywood songs, I then decided to put on the face pack ma had given me. It was a fruit face pack, I put it on and rubbed it so that my skin could be exfoliated, after washing it off, I did feel refreshed and my skin looked healthy. I laid out my dress and the jewelry that I needed and decided to bathe, I took a long time as the warmth of the water soothed all the muscles that were active since morning then I did my manicure and pedicure, I applied gold nail color as it would match my sari.

I decided it was time for my makeup, I applied foundation and compact powder, pink eye shadow, I put a wing on my eyelid with my eyeliner. I used mascara so that my eye lashes were prominent, of course my kajal, pink lipstick and gloss. I didn't put on heavy makeup but it looked good. I then draped my sari, I knew how to drape it, so it didn't take long. I put on my jewelry. I loved the fact that I was wearing bangles and my ma's ring. I didn't know how to do my hair so I got a hairdresser, she pinned up the front hairs so that nothing would fall on my face I hate it when hair comes on the face and she ironed out my hair to form wavy curls. she then put some spray on so that it would stay.

All the while I got ready and people knocked on the door I did not let anyone in except my hairdresser as,  if I let one, then a whole lot of them would come in and I will not be able to get ready. 

It was 11:20am, I came out of my room and saw that there were a few guests already present, I stopped to look at the decorations. It was gold and white and the whole interior was decorated, I went out to the place where dinner would be served and saw that there were bouquets of those big bright colored flowers that looked artificial but were real I don't remember the name, I came back and searched for ma and pa. They were at the entrance welcoming everyone, just then I saw a group of girls walking, it was my besties, I brought them inside and they commented on how pretty I looked and etc 

“what function is this?"Akila asked just as I was about to answer ma called me and I went to the door to find Bella ka ,jiju and Eddie. Bella ka hugged me “I'm so happy for you".  “I'm more happy for you” I said pointing to her swollen tummy. Then again pa called me, when I went, I saw my would be athai and mama they came forward and blessed me, then I saw Rohan walking in after then.

I immediately saw his attire, as it was a surprise. oh my GOD!!! he looked so handsome in that creamish gold kurta with a lot of embroidery and  beads with a dhoti style pajama in silk. He looked desi and majestic, his hair was neatly combed and gelled. I looked at him as he was being welcomed by my parents and eyed him telling that he looked superb and he winked at me aww, how cute he looks when he does that, falling for him won't be so hard after all, I hit my forehead for the random thoughts that were going through my mind.

Pa directed us to the so called stage, it was made temporarily for the function and gathered everyone's attention. I saw my besties in the front looking as confused as ever “I'm sure you all know the reason we have gathered here, I'm very happy to tell you that my daughter Sara is getting engaged to Rohan son of Paul" pa said as he turned to us and there was a round of applause, we then proceeded with the rituals.

Rohan's mama gave my mama a big round steel tray full of beetle leaves and beetle nut and rupees 1001. My mama took the tray and kept the money and gave the tray back to Rohan's mama and thus the engagement as per traditions  was over.

I was asked to sit on a chair while my relatives came over and put sandal paste on my forehead and cheeks and blessed me, after that it was Rohan's turn to get sandal on his cheeks, just when I was done Rohan's friends had come and he introduced them to me there were 3 of them Nikhil, Raj and Mike they all were dressed well in full sleeve crisp shirts tucked in formal well fitted pants. As Rohan had  to go, I was with his friends and introduced them to my besties, then I had to go, our friends soon mingled with each other.

Nikhil was the friend who had met with an accident, he was Rohan's bestie.

I was called for making tea and serving it to my in law family.
