Yaha waha hai tu by Vrushy

Part 12

Naira’s POV.

Finally the day had arrived.I was getting engaged !! Oh yeah, I was on cloud nine, too happy to control myself.

I wanted to cry, laugh, dance all at once. I was going to be engaged !! After years of hardship, I and Karthik would be together.

We always kept saying, that for us, marriage was just a piece of paper. Yes, it was. We were already like a married couple !! Spending time together whenever possible, fighting over small things and then making up quickly,isn’t that what all married couples do ?!!

But now,when the day of engagement had finally arrived, I was beginning to feel nervous. And excited. And happy.

I have to look good today. What if I do something embarrassing tonight ?!! What if something bad happens ?!! What if my dress doesn’t fit me ?!!

Many what ifs’ !! Oh and ofcourse.how could I forget the dress !!

The dress which I had planned to wear was an elegant, ethereal navy blue gown. It had embellishments all over, with a stretch silk lining and a tulle skirt overlay that fell to a soft train.

The moment I saw the gown, I fell in love with it. Without having any second thoughts, I decided to buy it. But unfortunately, the one that I saw in the store was the last piece and to my bad luck, it was already sold out.

But I ain’t that unlucky !! The shopkeeper told me that they had another same piece which was going to be delivered to their shop today, which was the special day. So yes, I was going to wear that beautiful gown on my engagement. All I had to do was just go to the shop and collect it from there.

I just couldn’t control my excitement !!

Karthik’s POV.

I was getting engaged. This was one step closer to marriage. How am I gonna do it ?!! What if I mess up something ?!! My mind was flooded with tons of questions. I knew they were stupid and pointless but still.I did not know how to silence these thoughts.

Few of my close relatives had already arrived. Mom had asked me to come and meet them, but all I could do that moment was to lock up myself in a room and try to calm myself down. It wasn’t like I was getting married today. There was still time for that.

Just as I was about to go outside to meet everybody, a loud banging noise was heard.

“ Don’t bang the door. I’m coming..” I said as I went to open the door.

To my surprise, It was none other than my best friend – Naksh.

“Oh God. Why were you banging ?!! I need my door, you know ?!!” I said while walking back inside, followed by Naksh, as he laughed.

“Why do you need that door ?!! Oh !! I get it now,You and Naira will be needing it after you guys get married, right ?!!” He said.

Seriously ?!! Well, yeah. He was right. But this was definitely not the time to talk about all this.

“You do remember that she is your sister right ?!! Anyways what are you doing here ?!!” I asked plopping down on the bed.

“My best friend is getting engaged and also I know he is nervous as hell,so isn’t it my responsibility to cheer him up ?!!” He said, sitting down beside me.

“That’s really nice of you. Thanks bro.” I said.

“Don’t thank me, I feel offended. That’s what friends do man.Anyway how do you feel now ?!!” He asked.

“How do I feel ?!! Nervous, I guess. I mean I’m happy. Really happy. But you know it won’t be the same now. Like I’ll not be alone anymore. I’ll have somebody by my side, somebody to come home for, somebody who’ll be my responsibility. It’s just weird. I guess.” I said staring at the wall blankly.
