Sometimes some fairy tales are nothing but wishful thinking...maybe the Prince Charming is actually Prince Cunning , or the Sleeping Beauty isn't willing to wait for a hundred years for him...
As far as Mira is concerned , marriage and love is bette...
I try to keep my fingers twitching and my body posture to remain stoic . Here I am , sitting in a small foyer kind of room , minutes away from making the grand entry to our reception. Our , meaning , me and Viyaan ( who is AWOL ) I don't know why I am feeling ever hopeful that he'll miraculously , show up.
I hate waiting. I really hate waiting , but for him , I am willing to wait as long as time allows me.
" I just tried reaching him , " Saanvi di says as she enters , " But it's switched off."
" Do you want me to go to the airport and see...?" Reyansh offers , but I politely decline. If he had promised something , he'd better be here , like he said he will be. Otherwise , I'll banish him to the other bedroom for life.
My friends came in after a few moments , looking bewildered as Reyansh narrated the Viyaan Emergency. It' s not like it's exactly his fault , but he was the one who kept on saying that he will make it , which is the only reason our two families didn't cancel the reception.
" You look gorgeous , BTW , di !!" Sam jumped in ,wearing an elegant blood red gown. With so many people inside , the foyer seemed to be stuffy and suffocating , so we went out to the adjoining hall.
I adjusted my blush pink dress .

" He'll be here , " they reassured me. A knot of nervousness was forming in my stomach , and I could feel my breaths becoming labored as the time passed. Saanvi di told me that Shashank jiju was the last person Viyaan talked to , as in , this afternoon , and he might have hinted that his work there finished.
Why ? Why is the suspense so thick?
And what will I do when it's time for the grand entry , and he remains AWOL??
Bheege bheege mausam khile the jahaan Tere mere raste mile the jahaan Baahon mein teri din dhale the jahaan Aa gaya main wo...
Magar... aaya na tu Aaya na tu Aaya na tu
I stiffened , and looked around for the source of this song. So did every one else , for that part. A lone waiter hurriedly picked up his phone , and we sighed in relief . It was only a ring tone.
" Phew , for once I thought my brain was auto suggesting ...." Reyansh scratched his head , and we laughed at that.
" Tell you what , Miramma ," Pia declared , " If Viyaan doesn't show up , we'll say he got stuck in a bathroom or something , and is unable to come."
" No , no wait , or that his pants got ripped . That's a classic." Reyansh added with equal zeal.
" Yes , this is my brother you guys are talking about ." Saanvi di narrowed her eyes , " But that idiot deserves it , so go on!!"
" I don't know, " Sam crossed her arms , " Di , are you sure you don't want Dad and Mom to know?"
I nodded vigorously , since my voice seems to have died somewhere down the throat.If Viyaan doesn't show up ( which as far as now seems likely ) they are going to be devastated. In the literal meaning of the word.
