~The next day~
Mitali smiled as she watched Sahil put haldi on his brother's face. Her eyes drifted back to Shanu,who was standing next to her with a glum expression on her face. She nudged her and said,
Mitali: Shanu, ja na. Sahil is waiting for you. Won't you put haldi on Kavya?
Shanu: Mitu yaar, how can you be so normal after what happened yesterday? I don't feel like doing anything.
Mitali: Shanu, what did we decide yesterday? We'll deal with Ananya's problem once this wedding's over. If Sahil sees you like this, he'll know something's wrong. It's just a matter of 2 days. Tomorrow the wedding will be over. Just for two days forget about it,okay?
Shanu: I know I know. Even I don't wanna ruin Jai and Kavya's big day, but.....
Mitali: Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to. There's nothing we can do. Our only option is to wait.
Shanu nodded slightly.
Mitali: Now put a smile on your face and go to Kavya.
Shanu sighed and put a smile on her face and made her way to where Kavya was sitting. Taking a handful of haldi, she smeared it across her cheeks. Kavya grinned in response.
Mitali's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of her ringtone. She quickly excused herself and went to a more secluded place.
Recieving the call, she answered,
Mitali: Hello?
Person: Mitu! Dadi bol rahi hu!
Mitali: Kya kuch sunai nahi de raha hai?! Ruko ek second mai speaker pe dalti hu.
Putting it on speaker, she said,
Mitali: Ha ab bolo?
Dadi: Mitu! Mai bol rahi hu!
Mitu: Ha voh pata hai Dadi. Uske baad bolo.
Dadi: Arrey tujhe maine kal phone kiya tha, tune uthaya hi nahi.
Mitu: Voh kal mehendi ceremony thi to hath mein mehendi lagi thi na isiliye utha nahi payi. Kyu kya hua?
Dadi: Arey yaad hai maine tujhe Saxena k baare mein bataya tha? Voh Saxena aur uska beta Rishabh aaj hi Dehradun aaye hain.
Mitu: Ha to?
Unknown to Mitali, Adi stood at a distance, waiting for her to finish her call so that he could put haldi on her face. And standing so close, he couldn't help but overhear their conversation.
Dadi: Ha to mai bol rahi thi ki......agar tu aa jati do dino ke liye to....... matlab teri dost ki shaadi khatam hone ke baad hi.....agar....
Mitali: Dadi maine aapse pehle bhi kaha hai na....mujhe abhi iss sab mein nahi parna. Aap to haar manna hi chahti!
Dadi: Rishabh bohut acha ladka hai, Mitu. Canada mein engineering par raha hai. Itne saalo tak baahar rehne ke baad bhi sanskaar vaise ke vaise hi hai.
Mitu: Ha to aap karlo shaadi!
Dadi: Mitu!
Mitu: Acha sorry sorry.....par dadi....
Dadi: Tu thode din ke liye aa nahi sakti. Acha iske liye nahi to apni dadi ke liye aa ja. Dadi ki yaad nahi aati kya?
Mitu: Ab yeh emotional blackmail mat karo aap. Acha Rishabh kitne din ke liye aaya hai?
Adi's eyes widened at hearing the familiar name. 'So this was the guy who had a crush on Mitali', he thought.
Dadi: Yahi kuch 2-4 hafto ke liye.
