Master Devil Do 'Not' Kiss Me

(6). Shaadi Mubaarak!!!

I speed walked inside the mansion as soon as Manik caught Ashutosh n told him that his friends r looking for him.  With camera's strap wrapped around my fingers, I walked passing the busy guests running here n there. When I thought that I reached a safe place, is stoped n took rapid breaths.

"Bacch gaye! thank god mujhe kissine pila(yellow) nahi kiya!
But seriously, Di and Jiju r really looking so funny, like they roll over yellow mud!" I chuckled at my own thoughts.

Suddenly cold paste touched my both cheeks from the back. The cold sensation alerts me & I gasped while getting stiffened in my place.

When I got sense back I turned back abruptly to catch the culprit...

"Aap?" I looked at him horrified.

"I believe u'll be happy that I'm the first to apply Haldi on u!" he said with his smirk but I'm too shocked to register it. And I don't know when my grip loosens on the camera n the strap unwrapped making it drop with a low Thudd...

I looked down at the sound n again eye started to trail back at the person when suddenly my adrenalin rushed nerves cracked and I registered what actually fell on the ground!

I spat my full attention on the Canon Camera "Oh My! My camera!" I shouted while bending to pick it up.

I checked it hurriedly with my heart thumping hard against my chest.

'Oh God! please, Camera kuch nahi hona chahiya! Warna me Navya Di se kya bolungi!' i prayed.

"Oh no! its lens is cracked. It's... I hope it's internal is damaged" I talked to myself while checking it round n round but didn't switch it on as I need to check it before that.

Then a pair of feet came to my view. 'Arrogant! Mera face pe haldi lagadi, meri Camera toddi, uper se wahi pe khada hai, bend hoke help bhi nahi kiya! Aarrghhh... I hate this man!'

I punched his feet hard before standing up with the camera. He hissed in pain with the unexpected blow and raised his feet up in reflex.

"Are u mad?" he growled when I looked at him with angry eyes.

"yes! humhari sakal dekhke toh koi bhi pagal ho jayega." I replied whatever came in my mind without a filter. Even I don't know what it means.

"See! U break the Camera. It's Navya Di's which she gave me to capture her special moments. Now, what will I tell her, han?" I spoke angrily. I never wanted any problem here, but this man is getting on my nerve, with his smirking face n unpredictable self!

"Aur uper se, Mujpe Haldi kesse lagi tumne? How dare u touch me, woh bhi piche se? Can't u come from the front like a man, Manik Malhotra?" I gritted my teeth while I spoke. He too looked angry.

"And please, do me a favor and don't appear around me for the rest 2 more days. Kal Shaadi aur day after tomorrow- reception. Uske baad, I'll leave" I declared before dashing away. I know, it's not possible to not be around when he's groom's bro and I'm bride's sister-like, But at least I want him not to bother me anymore. Khadhoos, Arrogant, Battameez Malhotra!

"What the hell!" I shouted in anger punching the wall.

'Samajhti kya hai khud ko! Bloody Hell! How dare she shout at me? Ek toh mene usse uss Ashutosh se bachaya, instead of thanking me, he bloody scowled at me? And what's with her always saying 'Like a man!' Of course, I'm a man with full blood and flesh!
Damn Her!' I hand palmed myself at the irritation she caused in my mind.
