Soothing music flows through the whole surrounding as it is filled with non-stop giggles and laughs. Kids running to get different types of saliva drooling sweets while the adults can't stop gossiping about the bride and groom's family as usual.

And then, just like that, she ran towards Reethu like a deer With wavy hair, while her jumcas danced with her movements.

"So, Everything is ready for her surprise" Reethu checked once again before executing the actual plan.

"Thank you, Reethu" she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear while her bangles made a piece of music.

"Can we?" Reethu held Riya's hand ready to surprise Neha. They held their hand and walked towards Neha with so much excitement.

Hey! These two look like twins. Look at those sarees. It's so beautiful, right?

Yeah! They are Neha's best friends.

People wondered and saw these two in awe as they wore Neha's gift for them and eventually they look like twins.

When Neha saw her best friends wore the saree that she had bought she smiled and adored them. Riya rushed and hugged Neha on one side and Reethu on another side by pushing Parthiv aside.

"These three!" Parthiv laughed at them.

"This is our time Parthiv." Reethu teased him. "You guys are dead gorgeous," Neha told out loud and those two hold the saree tail and flow them with the wind.

"So, are you ready for a surprise?" Reethu asked and Neha searched everywhere but there is none.

Riya clapped her hand over her head to signal something and from behind there is music.

Everyone turned and saw the screen in front of them where their entire college memories collaborate into a video. Their college friends who can't able to come because of their situation, have sent a video congratulating her.

Neha teared up a little and smiled from ear to ear with happiness. "Congratulations Neha!" Everyone shouted and she bent down a little to say thank you.

"Thank you, guys. This means a lot to me" she hugged Riya and Reethu. "You're happy right? That's what we want!" Riya brushed Neha's tears away.

"You know what Neha? One girl is our friend and she starts to chat with some foreigner. She seems to like him!" Reethu eyed Riya to tease her.

Riya pouted as she understood that Reethu is teasing her. Riya planned to tell the whole thing to Neha after her wedding or else Neha will be panicked and become protective of her.

"Wait! Riya!" Neha looked at Riya and started to scold her for not telling this before. "I'll tell you about this later. Now smile and pose for a photo" she said and dragged Reethu by pinching her hands.

She dragged her to the bench where at the front there is a small fountain and the whole area is decorated with LED lights.

"It pains Riya" they finally sat and Riya let out a big sigh. "I've decided to tell her later about him. Because have you seen her look after that? She is worried about me."

"Ohh, Sorry!" Reethu pouted. By seeing her Riya smiled at her. "It's okay."

She opened her mobile and saw the time. It's 7.55 PM. Her mind starts to fight whether to call him or not for 5 minutes. But finally, she made a decision.

"Reethu, I'm going to Video call him now!" Riya gave a sudden attack to her.

"What? Riya! Why are you giving me more surprises? Neha left me alone with you" she teased her.

Riya laughed but hesitate to call him. "Call him Riya. I want to see him" Reethu try to convince her.

She opened her phone and thought for a minute. Touched the button and closed her eyes tightly.

Reethu giggled, "Riya, open your eyes."

Her heart beats faster and she started to sweat and then she heard a scream from the phone.

She opened her eyes in shock and saw him finally. The one who said he wants to know more about her. The one who said he likes her at the first conversation.
