Following the grand wedding, and the post wedding rituals the next morning, Zoya was getting ready for the wedding party that night, in her room, looking for the matching accessories to wear for the party, from her bag.
Just then her eyes fell on a box lying under the dresses in the bag.. She took it out and opened it, looking at the red bangles arranged in it.
She caressed them, as her mind revisited an event some days back:
"Bangles? For me?" Zoya asked, looking at the red bangles' box in her hand.
"No, for Arjun." Aditya said, walking along the pavement, while they both broke into a chuckle, "Obviously for you, Zoya."
"But I don't wear all these now...I mean..." Zoya explained, while Aditya interrupted, "I know, and that's why I bought it. Zoya, I am not forcing you to wear these. But I will be really happy if you do so. Zoya, I don't want you to forget living your life, and embracing your likes and desires. In Pooja's language...I will be happy if you go back to your 'Chanchan' mode!"
Zoya smiled hearing it, while Aditya said, "Wearing and not wearing it for this wedding is your wish...but at least keep this as my gift for you. At least you will remember me whenever you see this. Right?"
Zoya had a smile, as she took out the bangles from the box. She shook the bangles, as they tinkled against each other. Just then, she heard someone knocking the door, and placed the bangles back in the box, and walked to the door.

Aditya stood at the resort lounge area outside the party hall, dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans, along with a blazer, waiting for Zoya, while Jai was standing next to him.
"So, I will definitely call you up when I am planning to enroll to Forensic Science courses. I will need your help..." Jai said while saving Aditya's number on his phone, while Aditya replied, "Sure. Call me anytime. I can refer some people to you too."
"Really? That would be great!" Jai said with an enthusiastic tone, while he looked around through the windows and said, "It's definitely going to snow in some hours. Good that we have the party inside the resort. Imagine if it was out in the open, we would be roaming around as snow men."
Aditya didn't hear anything after the word 'snow'. He was again reminded of his dream, and the mental reminder came along with a tinkling sound. He had a perplexed look.
Don't tell me...even my dreams started coming up with reminders and notification tones? Ridiculous!
But as that sound increased in volume, and approached near him, it reminded him of something else:
You can hear that chiming sound of the bangles from far itself...and from that Chan Chan itself, you can understand that it's Zoya Siddiqui on the way...
Aditya had a smile on his face, while he muttered, "Zoya..." He turned back with a smile, and was dumbstruck at the sight. He gasped in some air, as he saw Zoya walking towards him in a red ruffle saree, wearing the red bangles he had bought for her.
As much as the bangles in her hand brought a delight in his heart, her attire stirred his heart even more than that, overshadowing the other surprise. The visual of Zoya in his dream got some more clear, as he recalled her in a similar red saree; the very same saree.
Zoya stood opposite him, and looked at him with a smile, while she raised her hands up in the pretext of adjusting her hair, but in reality to make sure that Aditya noticed her 'change'. On the other hand, Aditya was too much lost in the shock of his 'dream woman' standing in front of him. He once again realized that even a weather forecast can go wrong, but his dream forecast has zero probability of not happening.
