Astha's POV :-
Two weeks later....
Mom and dad came from Canada to attend my wedding and my happiness knew no bounds. Last time I was not even sure if there will even be even a single person from my side and now. Life is really an amazing mystery, one moment it is on the left side and the other it is on right!
" Maya your lehenga came. Try this now love...if it doesn't fit we have to give it a redo immediately. We don't have much time." Mom said holding the bag on one hand and the wedding menu on the other.
I still can't believe that tomorrow is my wedding! Oh my god! I am having wedding jitters now. And no they are not like last time. This time.. it's different. It feels amazing and a little scary (in a good way ofcourse!) at the same time.
I looked up and a sole tear escaped my left eye.
" Ma, Pa look I am happy now. I have Mom and Dad who loves me like their own. They are just the mirror image of you two. A person to love and who loves me more than even I love him..wonderful in-laws, friends. I am not lonely now. I hope you can now rest in peace. I will never forget you two." I whispered.
" Astha...are you alright dear? Why are you crying baby?" Mom immediately rushed to my sides.
" I am absolutely fine mom. I am just so happy that I can't control myself. Thank you mom for coming to my life and accepting me as your own." I said hugging her.
" You are our own baby. Don't you ever say that nor thank us for meaningless things. The moment you came to our lives we became complete." She said caressing my hair. " Now don't puff up your eyes by crying okay. You need to look refreshed tomorrow. Or else everybody will think I made my daughter cut onions even the day before her wedding." She said chuckling and I too smiled at this.
We decided to skip the haldi and Mahendi since it was already held. And as we don't have very good memories associated with it so everyone gladly accepted the idea.
Mom's phone rang and a smile immediately erupted on her face on seeing the caller.
" Hey Anupama. I was just going to call you....No she hadn't tried it yet.... Yeah will call you immediately once it gets selected. Yeah... okay. Oh and don't forget you have to come early tomorrow. You promised me that you will do that Indian saree on me." Mom said.
In just a week and a little more they have became best friends. Mom doesn't do anything without asking Ma and the same goes on the other side too. If any stranger sees them now, it will give him a hard time believing that they were not actually childhood besties but just recently met.
" Uhh...one second I will give it to her." Mom said looking at me and then she handed me the phone.
" Namaste (Hello) Ma." I said taking the phone from Mom.
" Beta I know that you have Saraswati now. But don't forget that I am your mother too. So don't you dare hide anything from me. If you need anything then don't hesitate to ring me up okay. And by the way Saraswati may get to select your lehenga but your jewelleries and your make up will be according to me. So don't think of giving that opportunity to her. Yeah she may blackmail you for that but dare you snatch the chance of dressing my girl from me." She said and I smiled at this.
Since the day when the wedding date was decided they both were arguing on who will dress me up. And their banter never ceased.
" Ofcourse Ma. If my one mother gets one then definitely my other mother will get one too." I said smiling at Mom who too smiled at me.
