Today is my mehndi (heena) function, tomorrow is sangeet (music), then day after tomorrow is haldi (turmeric), after that wedding. Everything is moving quite fast.

Abhiman had some sort of fight with grandpa before engagement that's why even the whole last week he didn't got back home rather stayed in the company.

No, no don't think that he told me this, that ice block have not even talked to me even after engagement, grandpa Raj told me this.

I wish I have the machine to break ice, I'll put him inside it to be crushed maybe that way he will turn a normal human. Should I really order it.

"What are you thinking baby" Drishti bhabhi came to my room with the dress for me to wear today.

It's a beautiful dress, too bad I'm not much interested in Indian attires. They are quite something to deal with but for the traditions of wedding I'll be wearing them for now.

"Should I buy an ice crusher" I said, she looked at me like I have lost my mind.

"And here I thought you were thinking about your future husband" she said while sighing dramatically. My whole face would be resembling a tomato right now.

"Go away" I grumbled at her, puffing up my cheeks.

"Alright, alright get ready quickly. Everyone else has already been started with stealing the heena cones" She said rolling her eyes and I was laughing clutching my stomach.

Well those are your typical Indian relatives. Their work is to hide whatever they find useful for themselves and left the remaining, even if it finishes. Who agrees with me everyone ofcourse.

"Okay bhabhi" I took the dress and went to get ready.

After finishing my dressing up, I wore the flower jewelry that's provided to me by mom. Styled my hair in French fish tail, so it doesn't come on my face continuously.

I applied a little bit of makeup to cover my pale skin. Wore my wedge sandals and I am ready, just in time for divya to come and drag me to the back garden, where the decorations were set up.

Mom and bhabhi put the black dot behind my ear from their eye kajal. Then we went to the couch and I sat down as the mehndi artists started their work.

The Rajvansh family is also here but not everyone. Sanjay uncle and Kamini aunty are not here, grandpa Raj didn't came and even Dhruv is not present.

Abhiman will most probably come after finishing up his work. Workaholic Meany.

"Bua I aso wan tis ol my halds" Adi came running towards me and said in his cute voice.

(Bua (aunt) I also want this on my hands)

"No baby, this is only for girls no boy's allowed" I said moving my index finger too and fro in front of him.

"Why......" And ladies and gentlemen here comes a toddlers whining. How do people have patience for this.

"Adi is there any boy getting it on their hands" I said with a straight face.

I'm not going to fall for the cute puppy face and coy voice of his, which by the way I was the one who taught him. So ya.... I am immune to it. Hehehe...…

Neither do I want him to become a difficult to handle child. He should know there is always things he can't get.

He dropped his head and said "solly"

(Sorry)

"Good boy, you should not be stubborn like this again okay." I softly said to him.

"Yes bua, bye" he kissed my cheek and ran off to play again.

"You're good with children" the mehndi artist said

"Thank you" I replied, short and sweet.

You don't need to start telling your whole story just because the person in front spoke to you. Right?…...... Well that's my thought.

"Whose name do you want to write in your hands" she asked.

Before I could even reply a voice too familiar said "'Abhiman Rajvansh'; That's the name to be written."

"Okay" saying this she again started her work.

"Liam Salvador, where were you this whole week" I said in a fake anger "you are so busy that you don't even have time for your best friend."

"Sorry, sorry it's nothing like that" he started saying but I ignored him.

"I have bought your favourite chocolate, if you forgive me I'll give it to you" Liam said

Just as expected from him; he started bargaining with me, but oh well who am I 'Keira Singhania' I don't back off so easily.

"I'll forgive you" I said and just as he started smiling I broke his fantasy "but only if you give chocolate to me on daily basis for a month infront of your brother, Abhiman and divya."

Yes you guessed it right, if you did that is... Liam has a crush on divya, but this stupid doesn't have any nerve to confess.

"What?! Are you planning an indirect murder for me. Just because I didn't contact you for five days, that's so not fair" he started rambling.

"Do it or bye bye Liam" I said

He sighed and said "okay, but you have to save me from the three of them."

"Ofcourse I will, I can't let my only chocolate provider to die, now can I" I said looking very serious.

He shook his head while laughing and at the same moment, Abhiman and Luca also came through the entrance.

"Hey Liam, did you completed the task I gave you" I said in a hushed voice.

"Yeah, I have done it but to gather more information we need to enter into the empire." He replied

"Hm... I'll find out more about it. Thank you so much Liam. What will I do without you" I said while cheekily smiling at him.

He rolled his eyes at me and said "nothing, absolutely nothing"

"Hey! Don't roll your eyes at me" I said while pouting

"Whatever I'll be going to the buffet zone now, I am so hungry and just by looking at those appetizers I'm salivating." He said, running towards the buffet

Huff! How can he do this to me, I'm also hungry and my body has also gotten stiff sitting for so long.
