SLS#7# The Irresistible Aviatrix

Sister In Law

Divya's POV

" So, this is what happens in the Indian wedding." I said to Ian.

" Long way to go." He said looking at the road driving the car towards Goenka's place. Because Diya and Noel along with chhoti and her mom came to join the wedding last night. We are going to meet them.

" Yes, long way to go." I said. " But it's fun. You will enjoy it there."

" Hope so." He said.

" You will love it with all those colors, music, foods, antics and everything will be very special." I said.

" Hmm. I know it is." He said. " People gets married once in their life in general. So, it has to be special for both the bride and groom." He said.

" Yeah, right. It will be very special for both the bride and groom." I said.

" Akka!!" I heard Gauri calling me from the back seat.

" Kya hua, baccha?" (What happened, Sweetheart?) I asked her.

" Ice cream." She pouted. I sighed.

" Mujhe bhi." (Me too) Karan said.

" Tumhe ice cream k alawa aur kuch nahi dikhti Kya? Gala kharab ho jayega." (You don't see anything but ice cream? You will catch cold) Ganga said before I could say anything.

" Nahi hoga. Please, Akka. Please, please, please!!!" (I won't catch cold) Gauri said.

" Is she whining for ice cream?" Ian asked me.

" Yes, but ice cream is not good for her right now. She had a fever last week. Amma will get furious if I get her an ice cream now." I said.

" One won't harm her." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" But if Amma scolds me later then you will be responsible for that. I will not take the responsibility of she catches cold this time." I said to him. He chuckled.

" Ok, I will talk to her. Don't worry." He said and stopped the car near an ice cream parlour. We had ice cream and then we started for Goenka's place again.

" I don't understand one thing you were saying that the wedding will be a combination two different cultures. What is that?" He asked me.

" Because the bride and groom are from two different states. Basically Sanam's family is from West Bengal and we are from South India, Telegana state to be exact. So, the wedding rituals of two states will be followed in the wedding to make it perfect. So that none of the families complains later." I said.

" So, wedding rituals varies from states?" He asked me.

" Yeah. It does." I said.

" Strange." He said.

" You should say interesting." I said.

" Oh, yes. Interesting." He said.

" Very well. You will see how interesting actually they are once the rituals gets started." I said. " I am very excited." I said.

" Is it Sanam's wedding or yours?" He asked me.

" Definitely Sanam's, but you know she is my best friend and I have every right to get excited about it." I said.

" I understand." He said.

" You can't." I said.

" Why is that?" He asked me.

" I doubt you have any friends for real. You keep scaring people all the time. How will they be your friend?" I asked him and he chuckled.

" I have a few friends." He said.

" Are they robot like you?" I asked and he shook his head smilingly.

" If I was a robot then I wouldn't feel what I feel for you." He said.

" You are half robot and half human." I said. He chuckled.

" Ok, I will remember that." He said.

" Urrrrrrghhhh!!!" I said and turned to see out side of the window.

I tried to see him with the corner of my eyes only to find him with that heart melting smile of his. I sighed. God!!! Give me some strength to stay angry with this guy sometimes. I always fail miserably.

" Everyone is getting married. I will die single." I mumbled.

" Do we have to follow two different rituals in our wedding as well?" I heard him.

" Did you ask me something?" I asked him.

" Whom else can I talk in the car?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes.

" What were you saying?" I asked him though I heard him when he asked it at the first time.

" I know you have heard what I have asked you." He said.

" I didn't." I said.

" Lying is a bad habit." He said and I gritted.

" What happened?" He asked me. "Answer me? Do we have to follow rituals like this?" He asked me.

" Of course. I want a perfect wedding with all the rituals, colors and enthusiasm. You know how much we enjoyed in Diya and Noel's wedding?! It was awesome. I just can't went for mine." I said and he chuckled. " Can't wait to become a bride."

" You have to wait a few months for that." He said.

" Yeah, I know that. Which wish of mine has been fulfilled so easily?" I asked.

" Every single one." He said. I rolled my eyes.

" Like really?" I asked him.

" Yes, really." He said.

With that we reached Goenka's place. He stopped the car and we got down from the car.

" You guys go inside. I will park the car and come." He said and I nodded. I walked inside with the kids and pressed the bell. It was Diya herself who opened the door with her charming smile.

" Hey!!!" She said and hugged me at once. I hugged her back tightly. She broke the hug and turned to see the kids and bend.

" Tum Ganga, Tum Gauri aur tum Karan ho na?" (You are Ganga, you are Gauri and you are Karan, right?) She asked the kids.

" Haan, lekin apko kaisy paata?" (Yes, but how do you know that?) Gauri asked her.

" Bas janti Hoon." (I just know that) she hugged the kids as well. " Main ap logo ki Diya Dee Hoon. Ap logo se milke bohot Khushi huyi." (I am Diya. Very nice to meet you)

" Humhe bhi." (Same here) Ganga said.

" Aap log ander jaiye. Hum aate hain." (You guys go inside. We will just come in awhile) Diya said and the kids went inside. " Bhai kaha hai Meri?" (Where is my brother?) She asked me and I rolled my eyes.

" Car park karke aaraha hai." (Coming after parking the car) I said. " Tu apni Bhai k lie wait ker. Main to chaali ander." (You keep waiting for your brother. I will go inside) I said.

" Oye, shun. Tujhe abhi se Bhabi bulau ya phir Shaadi k baad?" (Hey, listen should I call you sister in law from now or should I call you that after your marriage?) She asked me smirking at me. I rolled my eyes.
