Aakanksha was really happy as she was finally getting to see her BFF together with the person she loves.
Only wishing if there will be a man that will love her just like that. Without any clauses.
Without any expectations. Just love. Pure and subtle.
Aman pulled up with his car as usual. He was the person everyone trusted when came to driving. Calm and composed while driving not the other way round as was Aakanksha.
She even thinks that if she gets in the driver seat, accident is bound to happen. To be honest she never get into it at first, because she knows her level of clumsiness. And she loves her life.
On the other hand, Aman drove even before he reached the legal age to receive a driving license. Because they were from a small town, driving license never seemed a problem.
But he did apply for it as soon as he become eligible.
In the car was already seated the couple. She made her way into the front seat. Making herself comfortable and tying the seat belt, she nodded to him that they were ready to leave.
Aman did wait for her consent before driving every time because he knew the was still a bit of stench left in her memory after that memory.
No matter how much she said she isn't meant for driving, that she can cause an accident. He knew that it was because of that accident.
As they arrived at the waiting area at the airport, they saw their friends.
Soumali, the one of the four group friend the girls had from the beginning.
One of whom had betrayed and she was whom who drifted apart because of studies, having followed different stream and making herself busy enough to forget about her drunkard ex and now making herself
successful banker.
Sana, the roommate of the bride during the high school days. When they moved out of the house.
Abhilasha and her 2 year old son.
Lakshya, Aditya's batchmate. And Sana's husband. Had it not for them the couple only would've existed in some parallel universe probably.
Sana was just tagging Shreya along when she was going to meet Lakshya and it was same from Aditya's side. And that's how they met.
Cliché yet fate.
And lastly Sourya, Aditya's partner in boutique. He looks after every financial things and online business. They had this startup together, while he took care of the financial front, Aaditya is incharge of the creativity. Had it not for their bonding. LURKS wouldn't have been an international brand.
The Sanakya couple was doing PDA as expected while Sourya was just staring at Soumali as if intimidated at the first sight.
Soumali rarely joined them for outings as she immersed herself in work. Had it not been her first relationship a toxic one, she would have been cheerful.
Aakanksha couldn't help but blame herself that she neglected her friend but what could've she done when she herself was trapped into that messy situation of her.
And that accident was the worst.
As she noticed Sourya staring at her, she thought if he can help her friend out of that. And if it was happening she was more than willing to be an wingman.
They soon boarded into the plane to get to the destination. It was 31st, there was going to be a new year.
New hopes, new successes, new relationships and new heartbreaks, new disappointments. But what will ever be same for us herself. May be a better version but still believing and still hoping for the best.
After long hour of sitting at the same position. The cracking sounds made by the stiff bones when stretched was so satisfying.
Entire hotel was booked for the family. Some will attend whole functions while some will come over the day of wedding. Doesn't matter but the couple didn't want anyone to face inconvenience.

She unclasped her bra as soon as she got into her room. Because it was hectic. She never liked wearing them. And if not for the stares she received when she didn't wear them in her teenage she would've avoided them at full cost. Even at the cost of her life. Because they are threat to a girl. Sometimes even making them difficult to breath.
After replying texts of her parents that she reached safely, she took out the bath towel and went to take a bath. Hot showers are what she prefers every time after a long journey.
After a not so long half an hour shower she made herself comfortable into the bed and closed her eyes.

The flight landed and RM was more than excited to see her than attending the actual wedding.
During these past few days it was the question that was clouding his head that I'd he wanted to marry a woman who maybe wasn't able to conceive.
And what he got everytime as a reply was yes.
Yes, if he loved her. If they love each other then there were several ways they could become parents if they want. Adoption is one of the superior ways.
But what confused him the most is it was as if he was convinced that she was the one. And all he needed was an answer. Is she? And he was pretty much determined to get an answer.
"Here we are." It was Tae taking him out of the trance of his thoughts.
The hotel was located near the beach.
A beach wedding. That too an traditional one was kind of exciting for every member.
Because the culture was itself exciting and it was the first time for them attending one.
(This is what suited the most for my imagination. I took it from Google. )
They moved out their luggage on there own. There was no camera filming this vacation of them together was what also something relaxing. Not even their manager was with them.
Aaditya also sticked to his word. The security was high so that no paparazzi could enter even though their schedule was a secret.
The hotel staff soon took their luggage as soon as they arrived at the entrance.
The receptionist handed them their respective room keys. And they left towards their room.
After 10 minutes or so. RM could be seen wandering in the reception area. The reception was empty due to some reason.
The manager approached him saying if there was something he can help with.
"Actually I lost the keys." He said smiling sympathetically at himself.
Embarrassed to tell his members he decided to help himself out of the trouble.
"Sir, the reception is empty. You'll have to wait for an hour or so. If possible do you recall your room number? I can help you get in with the spare key." He said eager to get an answer.
"....69." As he saw it engraved in the room key.
"That'll do sir." The Manager said as he indicated him to follow him.
