Aradhya's POV
" Hum kaha ja rahe hai?" (Where are we going?) Akka asked Dee as soon as Dee got in the car and sat beside her.
" Picture dekhne ja rahe hai." (Going to watch a movie) Dee said.
" Sachhhhhh main?!!" (Really?) Akka asked her.
" Haan na." (Yeah really.) She said.
" Which one?" Akka asked Dee. I rolled my eyes.
" Move a bit. Let me be in." I said to Akka and sat beside her.
" Tujhe Kya hua abhi?" (What happened with you now?) She asked me. My mood was off. No one wished me on friendship day. What's wrong with them?!!
" Kuch bhi nahi hua, Akka. Chill."(Nothing happened, Akka) I said to her.
" There is definitely something wrong, Chhoti. Why is your mood off?" Akka asked. " You are looking like someone made you have a bitter gourd." She said and I sighed inwardly.
" Mujhe Kya hoga?! Kuch nahi hua." (What will happen to me?! Nothing happened.) I said.
" But Chhoti, tumne -" (But, Chhoti, you-) Akka was saying but Dee stopped her holding her hand and shook her head. She nodded.
" Thik hai, Chhoti." (Alright, Chhoti.) Dee said. I nodded.
" Koyi bhi ne mujhe friendship day ki wish nahi kia. Not even Asher" (No one has wished me on friendship day. Not even Asher himself.) I said suddenly. I was very upset for that.
" Kaun Asher? Am I missing anything here? Do I have to be aware of anything?" (Who Asher?) Akka said.
" Asher Chhoti ka dost hain, usdin party mai mile thay na." (Asher is Chhoti's friend. Meet in the party that day.) Dee said.
" Oh, haan yaad aya." (Oh, yeah I remember.) Akka said.
" To Kya hua, Chhoti. Relax." (So what, Chhoti!!! Relax.) Akka said. " Accha, it's a big deal. How dare he not wish you!!! Give me his number. I will teach him a lesson and he should do that." Akka said and I face palmed. I sighed deeply. His phone was switched off since last night. God knows what happened to him.
" Maine already try kia unreachable dikha rahi hai." (I have tried already it's unreachable) I said sighing deeply.
" Ardeyn ko call karo. Usko to jaroor paata hogi Asher kaha hai." (Call Ardeyn. He must know where Asher is.) Dee said.
" Kia tha." (I called him) I said.
" Kya bola usne?" (What has he said?) Dee asked me.
" Phone uthaye to na? Switched off hai." (He has to pick up the phone first. His phone is switched off.) I said and she nodded.
" Koyi baat nahi. They are coming in 2 days to attend the wedding." (No problem) Dee said. I shook my head.
" Shayad mujhe dost hi nahi manta apni." (Maybe he doesn't consider me as a friend.) I said and I was really upset that the girls didn't pick up the calls as well. Their phones were switched off as well.
" Aisa maat socho, Chhoti. Abhi bhi poora din hai. Aur wese bhi England 4 ghantay pichhe hai India sai. (Don't put it like that, Chhoti. You still have the whole day. And England is 4 hours behind than India.)" Akka said.
" 4 hours and 30 minutes to be exact." Dee said. I nodded.
" Exactly." Akka said and I nodded again mindlessly.
" Aap bohot pyaari lag rahi ho aaj, Dee." (You are looking beautiful today, Dee.) I said.
It was NAANDI GANESH PUJA today. She was wearing a traditional Indian saree. It was a Navy blue saree with golden work on it. It doesn't matter what she wears she always looks so beautiful.
" Thank you, Chhoti." Dee said smilingly.
I nodded and leaned on the window looking outside.
" Hum kaha ja rahe hai, Diya?" (Where are we going, Diya?) Akka asked Dee once again.
" Mandir ja rahe hai, buddho." (Going to the temple, stupid) Dee said to her.
" Kyun?" (Why?) Akka asked her.
" NAANDI GANESH PUJA hai aaj." (It's NAANDI GANESH PUJA TODAY) Dee said.
" Oh, main to bhool hi gyi thi." (Oh, I forgot) Akka said. I could hear them but I didn't response.
" Chhoti, hum soch rahe thay aaj hum panipuri khane jayenge. Tum - " (Chhoti, we were thinking we will go to have some panipuri today. Will you -) Dee couldn't complete as I started to talk.
" Include me." I said and shry sighed.
It was NAANDI GANESH PUJA today. It's an important part of wedding too. It's arrange to invoke the precious presence and grace of Lord Ganesh. So that the wedding ceremony completes without any problems or any destruction. After that lunch was arranged.
So, today it was arranged. All of our family members and Dee's would be in laws were there. Only we 3 are left to go there. I didn't want to go there today. My mood was terribly off. For Dee I had to come she was emotionally blackmailing me. We were already late.
" Drive fast, Rick." Dee told him.
" There is a big traffic jam." He said and I sighed. We should have gone earlier. Traffic here is a horrible thing to endure.
After some time which seemed to be an era we reached the temple. We got out immeditely. We entered the temple and everyone was waiting for us. We got a good scolding from my mom and aunt for being late in this important ceremony. We know it was stupidest thing but what can we do now!!! You know the traffic of Delhi. You can't hold us the responsible here. It's not my faul should have come earlier. It was my fault only. Is it??!
I met everyone there. The guests were there already before us. Embarrassing. Suddenly I found Nora who was pulling the drapes of Dee's Saree to gain her attention. Chasen was following her holding the drape with cute little hands of his. I reached them and my mood suddenly lit up seeing their smiled. Aww they were looking so cute in the Indian traditional dresses which we sent for them. I knelt in front of them.
" Hi, Princess Nora doll." Dee said pinching softly on her nose. She giggled and kissed on her cheek. She hugged her.
I saw Chase standing there with his pouty puppy face with twinkling eyes. Oh, my God!!! Why these kids are so cute!! Do they want to kill me with their cuteness?!!
" Hi, candy floss!!" Dee said to Chase he just hugged her wrapping his little arms around her neck.
Awww!!! How cute. I kissed his head and he giggled. I smiled widely. Kids are happiness. There cute acts light up our life. The two we got here are obviously the cutest kids I have ever seen. No one can ignore their Cuteness.
