Dear Bestie..( Completed)

Chapter # 34

   
   In my culture wedding is one of the greatest occasions which elaborates so many rituals...

  
   Ours is a hustle bustle wedding and we have planned to follow few important rituals alone... Whatever it may be , we are sure that the fun part shall not reduce in any way...

  So ...

My cousins are already here and my home has adorned  the charm with all the smiles and chuckles...

Added , Granny is  here in home with the medical personnel to take care of her...

  

   " Suman... You're looking very pretty... "

For the hundredth time one of my cousins states...

I pout at her ... Adjusting the bindi , I look at the watch...

" Some one can't wait.. "

As Divya akka mocks me , series of laughter follow..

    I bit my lips...

As a matter of fact , I am going to get married within  few hours... At present I am desperately waiting for Shravan's arrival...

He will be here by anytime...!!!

  I sit down thinking the same...

Few seconds later , I hear someone's voice...

Shravan has come... !!!

The groom has arrived...!!!

I walk to the balcony in a wink... My eyes wander over the portico to spot Shravan...

He's there, getting down the car..  He is in casual jeans, paired with black shirt...

   He walks to the front yard which is covered with colourful Rangoli... Before he steps the next walk ," Ohohhhh... Modern groom...."

Anish Anna's friends target Shravan to tease...

  Actually , welcoming the groom is one of the riruals in my culture... Normally , it will happen with lots of fun where the groom will reach the wedding place  in an open car like a procession...

  Here , Shravan is straight away  from airport and this is our kind of -  welcoming the groom !!!

" Shravan  ... Welcome dude...!!!"

Anish anna embrace Shravan and introduce him to his friends..

Amma takes aarthi to welcome him formally...

" Welcome Shravan..."

As she smears  the red aarthi water on his forehead  ( that depicts  the protection from bad vibes)  , he touches my mother's feet...

" Be happy always shravan.. "

As the wishes continue , he looks up in intuition...

    He can't recognize me amidst my cousins as they all are dressed up like me... Moreover , they hide me from coming front. Succeeded ,  they shout at Shravan

" Ohoh... So sad...!! You can't see her now.. "

It seems that the bride and groom shall not meet until they tie the knots ...

    I feel pity for him ... He lowers his head down , smiling...  He acts asif he's trying to barge in between them...

Anish anna punches my cousins in air and calls Shravan...
