Before opening the door of my car, I glanced towards my phone.
"It's okay..... But maybe not", I muttered under my breath.
And drove my car off, kahan ho tum Ishani.
(Where are you Ishani).
As soon as I reached my mansion, I parked my car and went inside.
I saw that dad was talking to someone, but not paying too much attention, I went to mom.
She's in the kitchen.
"Mom...", I said and hugged her from behind.
"Welcome home shreyansh", she said, chopping the vegetables.
"I need to take a shower, I'll be back", I said and she nodded.
"Bring a blueberry smoothie for me", I said to the worker and went upstairs.
I came inside of my room and went to the window, the curtains were moving β a cold breeze was flowing outside.
Someone knocked.
"Come in", I replied.
A servant came and he put the smoothie, on my nightstand.
"I've not seen you today Ishani", I said while looking at the moon.
But beside all of this β
"At least we admire the same moon", I continued and a smile unknowingly spread on my lips.
"Maybe you'll come tomorrow", I gave this advice to my heart and went to take a quick shower.
I came, and grabbed my smoothie.
"Ek baar aur sun lun ?", I said to myself and activated the transmitter again.
(Should I hear her for one more time ?).
But guess what β
No voice can be heard.
In frustration, I put my phone back.
"Bhai, open the door", trisha said, banging on it.
"What happened ?", I asked.
"Chalo neeche, it's dinner time", she said and I nodded.
"Aa raha huun", I replied.
(I'm coming).
I went with her.
"Evening dad", I greeted.
"Evening", he replied.
Everyone started eating dinner, only the sound of knives, clicking of forks can be heard.
"You'll take leave some days at your college", dad said and I looked at him.
"But dad, what happened ? Is everything alright ?", I asked.
"Haan, woh mere dost ke bete ki shaadi hain, tou kuch din ussi ke ghar rehna hoga hume",he continued and I froze.
(Yes, actually we have to attend the marriage of my friend's son, so for some days we'll be staying at their palace).
"And please don't you dare to say no this time", he shot a playfully glare at me.
Because he knows that, I always refused to attend every function.
Iss baar, sirf woh hain meri iss haan ki wajah.
(For this time, she's the reason for my yes).
"No need to worry dad", I assured him.
My mind shut down completely.
"The malhotras ?", mom asked and he nodded.
"Unke bete ki hi shaadi hain", he replied.
(Yes, it's his son's wedding).
"Tou kal, sab apne bags ready rkhna, usse pehle agar shopping karni hain tou kar lena", he said and we all nodded.
(Tomorrow,if anyone wants then you can go shopping, and make sure your bags are ready on time).
But still β
I can't be able to process anything, I'll be staying at her palace.
Wow.
What a dream it is,
"Trisha ?", I said, she was sitting beside me.
"Yes bahi ?", she replied.
"Pinch me !", I said, only enough to hear her.
"What ?", she frowned at her eyebrows.
"I said, do na", I replied, looking at her.
She did, with so much force β
"Aahhh", I groaned in pain.
"Aaram se karti na", I said and she forcefully smiled.
(You should have done this carefully).
"Have dinner quietly", mom said, and we nodded.
I came into my room and locked it.
Ohh my β
"What just happened today, like what ? I'll be staying at her house, just for her brother's wedding.....", I said to myself.
"I still can't believe this", I continued.
I jumped on my bed and hugged my pillow tightly.
Kissi din pagal na hoo jaun iss tarah bass.
(For sure, one day I'll be crazy for her).
"I just want her to come tomorrow, but see β", I said to myself.
"My fate has written something different for me", I continued.
"Is it real..... Or still I'm dreaming", I said and put a hand on my heart.
Dekho, kya kar diya tumne Ishani.
(See β what have you done Ishani).
I smiled and closed my eyes.
See you tomorrow Ishani....
With that β
I just don't know when I drifted to sleep, but her thoughts are not leaving my mind for a minute.
"Ishu β", Bhai, came into my room and stopped on his way.
I was drying my hair.
"Kya hua ? Kyun ruk gaye ?", I asked.
(What happened ? Why did you stop ?).
"Aaj itni jaldi uth gayi ?", he asked.
(You woke up this early today ?).
"Just do your work", I said while being annoyed.
"Acha sorry, neeche aa jana breakfast was served already", he said.
(Okay sorry, come downstairs, breakfast was served already).
"Okay", I replied and nodded.
After a few minutes, I went downstairs and saw that mom was giving him a list.
A shopping list β
"Yeh sab leke aana hain okay ?", she said and he nodded.
"Okay", he replied.
After our breakfast was done, we headed to our main work.
"What are the things we need to buy ?", I asked.
"A Ring, garlands, sweets aur bhi bhot kuch (and etc.)", he replied and I nodded.
The bazaar (market) hits me firstβthe clang of steel plates, shouting vendors, and air thick with marigold and incense.
Bhai is already three stalls ahead, one hand haggling for garlands, the other keeping our car keys from slipping.Β
"Two dozen roses, the thick garlands, not the cheap ones", he orders.
I follow with the cloth tote, already heavy with two kilos of badaam halwa, a box of kaju katli, and a packet of glittery diyas.Β
At the jewelerβs, the velvet box clicks open. The ring catches the afternoon sun. My fingers tremble. βThis one,β I manage.Β
"Nahin kuch aur", he added and the shopkeeper, showed us some more.
(Show us some more).
"This one.... It's final", he said and I nodded.
We paid the bill then we went to buy the rest of the other things.
Bhai doesn't tease me. He just pays, slides the box into my palm, and adjusts the sweet boxes in his arms.
βPerfume, candles, and that mehroom dupatta you liked. Then weβre done.β he said and I nodded.
The bags dig into my wrist, but my steps feel lighter than air.
He took some bags from my hand.
"It must be heavy", He said and I denied.
"Not that much", I said.
After buying everything, we checked multiple times that nothing remained.
The car barely stops and Bhai starts unloading the bags.
Bags hit the kitchen counter one by one β garlands, sweets, the velvet ring box tucked carefully under the diyas.
Mom widened her eyes β
βItna saara? Tum dono ne poora bazaar khareed liya kya?β, But sheβs smiling, tucking the marigolds into a bucket of water, fingers already sticky. Maybe she was making something.Β Β
I set the ring box on the mandir shelf before she can ask. My heartβs still racing from the jewelerβs shop.Β
Raghav, Ishu", Dadβs voice comes from the hall. Firm.
"come here", he continued. Bhai and I exchanged a look.Β
We wipe our hands and walk in. Dadβs sitting on the sofa, specs on, newspaper folded but not set aside. His face gives nothing away.Β
βBetho,β he says, patting the space beside him.Β
(Sit).
The house smells like jasmine and fresh sweets. But my palms suddenly feel cold.
"Kal Ghar par mehmaan aa rahe hain, tumhe bulaya tha, just to inform you okay ?", he said and we nodded.
(Guests are coming to our house tomorrow, i called you, just to inform you).
"But dad sab tou aa chuke hain na ?", bhai asked.
(But dad, everyone has come, right ?).
"My friend and his family are coming tomorrow", he said, and I widened my eyes.
"Oberois ?", bhai asked and he nodded.
And my mind got completely blank, oberois are coming ?
Ohhh my god β It means, shreyansh will also come....
Where is my destiny is leading me to ?
IS IT REAL OR WHAT.....
I just looked at him, his expressions were calm. I know he has to be, after all they were coming here to attend his wedding.
I stood up from there and went to my room.
"Main aati huun", I said, and left from there.
(I'll come).
I came into my room.
My room feels cooler than the rest of the house. The bookshelf overflowsβhalf novels, half dried rose petals from last yearβs garlands. My dupattas hang by the window, catching the evening breeze.
βCalm down, Ishu,β I whispered to the room. But my reflection in the mirror is already smiling.
I jumped on my bed and hugged my pillow. He's just coming and,
Here, shyness was all drooling over my face, and of course one thing overthinking. Like how will I face him in my house.
Oh godddd!!!!.......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
