Anika

"Bhaiya yeh lights yaha lagana waha par nai", I said to the worker who was incharge of the lighting and then went on to find Naina so that we both can see the arrangments for the final time.

[Trans:Brother put up these lights here not there]

"Aree Anika why are you still here go and get ready",Meena aunty said as she came towards me .

"No aunty I will after the arrangements are done",I said .

"Barat will arrive in 2 hours ",Meena aunty said .

"Aunty don't worry we will get ready after everything is arranged ",Naina said carrying 4 boxes in here hands and then placing it on the table behind me .

"Naina even you haven't got ready ?",Meena aunty asked in dis-belief .

"We will go aunty after we are done looking at the arrangements",I said .

"Yes and everything is done we just need to double check",Naina said .

"We want everything to be perfect",I said .

"Aakhir hamari bestfriend ki jo shaadi hai ", Me and Naina said in unsion making Meena aunty smile .

[Trans: Afterall it is our bestfriend's wedding]

"Okay you both win but check everything quickly and go and get ready okay ? And tell Aryan also to check the arrangements along with you two it will be easy ",Meena aunty said .

"Yeah we will and don't let Ishika know that we aren't ready yet ",I said .

"Yeah Otherwise she will throw a fit",Naina said making Meena aunty chuckle .

"Don't worry I won't ",with that she left .

Ishika Sharma mine and Naina's bestfriend was getting married to her long time college boyfriend Karan Gupta today . Ishika and Karan had revealed to their family that they were dating after been in a relationship for 3 years .

And since last year both Agrawal and Gupta family have been telling Ishika and Karan to get married . And when the news came to both the families that Karan had finally proposed Ishika for marriage the families were euphoric to the extent that they wanted to throw a party . I am Glad Ishika and Karan stopped them .

"Ani you are wearing the green one lehenga na ?",Naina asked as we enter the guest room we were staying in after double checking the arrangements .

"Yes I'm ",I told her .

Quickly wearing our lehenga's we both do each others hairstyles and makeup . And we were ready for our Bestfriend's Marriage .

(Anika's lehenga )

(Anika's hairstyle)

(Naina's lehenga )

(Naina's hairstyle , imagine the purple colour brotch as a green colour same as the colour of lehenga)

"Let's go and meet Ishika barat will come in 30 minutes",I said .

"Okay let's go ",Naina said .

"Anika",Naina calls out my name  making me stop .  I turn around to look back at her .

"Yes?".

"You are okay na ?",she asked . I know why was she asking me this .

"Yes I'm don't worry",I assure her giving her a smile .

"Ani sure na ?",she asked again .

"Yes Naina I'm sure don't worry let's go before Ishika murder us",I tried to joke .

~~~~~~~

"Ohh ho Karan toh aaj tere upar se nazare hata hi nai payenga ", I said making Naina and Ishika Giggle .

[Trans: Today Karan won't be able to take his eyes off you]

"I'm looking good na ?",Ishika asked standing up from her chair .

(Ishika's wedding lehenga)

"Good? you are looking beautiful",I said .

"Yeah and I can't believe one of us is getting married today ",Naina said dramatically wiping her fake tears .

"Don't be dramatic ",Ishika said .

"Whatever let's take photos before we take you to the mandap",Naina said.

"Yeah let's take it quickly",Ishika said .

"Wait where is Aditi ?",Ishika asked.

"I'm here ",Aditi said as she comes inside the room .

"Oh ho Ishu Di looking very pretty",She said .

"Thankyou Aditi",Ishika thanks her.

Aditi Ahuja my younger sister . Even though she was 2 years younger than us she is still a part of our friends group . And after mine and her misunderstanding in the past she still continued to be a part of our group . The only thing is we both don't talk .

God knows how many photos we might have taken . And moreover I pity Ishika's cousin sister who was trapped because of us as we had told her to take our photos .

"Okay so we will come back to take you after Karan get's settled in the mandap",I said .

"Okayy ",Ishika said .

"Anika , Naina , Aditi ",Ishika said making us stop .

"Yes?",me Naina and Aditi  say in unsion .

"I'm nervous ",She said .

"Everybody feels nervous don't worry once you will be standing beside Karan all your nervousness will go away",I said and gave her a smile .

"Thankyou so much ",Ishika said .

"No need ",I said and smiled at her .

"Oh Meena Aunty is calling me I will come back again to take you to the mandap",Aditi said leaving the room.

"Anika",Ishika said .

"Are you okay ?",she asked looking at me .

Her and Naina's reason for asking me the question was same .

"I'm okay don't worry I told Naina the same don't worry about me .This is your big day enjoy it instead of worrying about me I'm fine believe me ",I said smiling .

Was I okay ? No , I was not okay I have been controlling myself from breaking down since Ishika and Karan's wedding functions started and today I was controlling hard . I don't want Ishika or Naina to worry about me . I don't want to spoil Ishika's mood because of me , today it was her big day .

~~~~~~~

"Barat aa gayi , Barat aa gayi " , A small boy came running inside . After making the announcement he quickly went outside again .

[Trans:Barat came, Barat came]

[Barat- The groom comes on a horse with music and his relatives and friends come dancing with the groom]

I passed Meena Aunty the Thali and I stood on her right side while Naina stood on her left side .

There was Karan sitting on the horse while his relatives and friends came dancing .

The music was getting slowed down and then it eventually stopped .

Karan got off the horse and then stood infront of Meena Aunty .

He touched her feet and then Meena aunty welcomed his family and friends.

While she was welcoming them I saw Naina shooting daggers at Laksh while Aditi who was standing beside Naina shooting daggers at Anuj.

And I knew very well why they were doing so . My eyes landed on Kabir Malhotra who was already looking at me smirking .
