Her Wedding Wish

Confusion

Preeta's life had got more tangled than my earphones.

A night changed her life. A night full of confusion, misunderstanding and hesitation.

She trusted Sameer as a friend, as a brother and he took advantage of their friendship.

With these thoughts in mind, Preeta looked up at the mirror.

She was getting ready in front of the dressing table. Tension hovering above her.

Preeta(tensed): Kal raat Srishti kitni excited thi.. Woh toh aaj.. Sameer ko confess bhi karne waali thi..

FLASHBACK

Sameer left when he heard Srishti's car horn.

He hid behind the door and as Srishti entered, he left.

Preeta(in mind): Matlab sach mein.. Usne mujhe hi propose kiya.. Usse koi misunderstand nahi hui thi..

Srishti entered and twirled around dreamily, seeing Preeta sleep.

Srishti(smiling): Kal mujhe aur Sammy ko mile hue 18 saal ho jaayenge.. Kal mein usko propose karoongi..

She goes next to Preeta and lifts her hand.

Srishti(mimicking Preeta): Waah.. Kya propose kiya hai Srishti.. Tum logon ki shaadi ka decoration mein karoongi.. Aur saath mein honeymoon bhi😂

Srishti switches sides and leaves her hand.

Srishti(blushes): Kya Preeta tu bhi? 😂

She again goes to Preeta and starts moving her lips.

Srishti(mimicking): Sameer ki dulhaniya..

Preeta(in mind): Kaunsa paagalpanti ka daura pada hai isse? Kal dekhoongi 😂

Srishti finally goes to the washroom, changes and goes to sleep.

FLASHBACK

Preeta slaps her forehead, coming back to reality.

Srishti enters and sees Preeta rubbing her head.

Srishti(blushes): Preeta.. I am so happy.. Aaj mein.. Mein Sammy ko propose karne waali hoon.. And.. I might need your No smudge lipsticks..

Preeta(murmuring): Actually.. You might need my waterproof mascara..

Srishti(smiles): Right.. I will be so happy.. I am gonna cry.. I'll borrow both..

Preeta(shrugs): I am not sure about the happy part though..

Srishti(confused): Matlab? Ek minute.. Do you know something, I don't?

Preeta took a deep breath and spoke the entire truth, that she had kept within her.

Srishti(not believing): You are joking, aren't you? Tu kal so rahi thi..

Preeta: Agar mein so rahi thi.. Toh.. (moves Srishti's lips) Sammy ki dulhaniya.. Yeh kaise pata chalta?

Srishti(cries): No!

She leans on Preeta's shoulder and starts crying.

Screen focusses on the floor, on which hundreds of tissues were lying.

Srishti was sitting on her bed, crying.

Preeta came from behind with another box of tissue.

Preeta(handing it): Here you go.. Another one..😂
