The biggest hall of Delhi's most expensive and famous hotel was decorated like a bride. People from big and rich families of the city were seen all around. Their wealth was being reflected by their outfits, behaviour and everything else.
"Areyy bhaiya... yeh phool nahi woh lavender wale lagao... kitni baar batau aapko... aur yeh drinks yahan kya kar rhe hain... inhein serve karwao... dekhiye humare guests bhi aane start ho gye hain" a girl said wearing a simple kurti with blue jeans. Her hairs were tied in a bun and some of it were falling on her face.
She had a pad, paper and a pen in her hand. Seems like a proper list !
"Chalo flowers and drinks ka bhi ho gya.. check ✔️ " she ticked on the list in her hand.
"Shehnaaz... yeh sab kya ho raha hai ?" A mid aged lady said and that girl turned around showing her beautiful face with caramel brown eyes. She tucked the pen between her teeth and move towards that lady.
"Main bass check Kar rahi hu aunty ki sab kuch sahi ho raha hai ya nahi... warna aapko pata hai na agar aapki beti ki choice ke against ek bhi cheez hui toh woh engagement se hi bhaag jayegi"
The lady chuckled.
"Haan yeh toh hai... Hai hi itni ziddi woh... anyways yeh kya hai ? Tum abhi tak ready nahi hui ? Thodi der mein function shuru ho jayega beta! "
"Aunty... aap meri fikar mat Karo... main toh 10 minute mein ready ho jaungi... and you know na I always slayy.." Shehnaaz said tucking her few hair strands behind her ear and the lady nodded in yes with a smile.
"Chalo main baaki ke arrangements dekhti hu... aap bhi guests ko attend kijiye... woh dekhiye uncle toh ho gye busy apne friends ke saath"
The lady looked at her husband who was laughing over something with some of his business partners. She shaked her head in disbelief and move towards him. Shehnaaz also got busy in her work.
"Areyy bhabhi namaste" the gents greeted the lady as soon as she approached them.
"Namaste bhaiya.... excuse us.. sorry" she said pulling her husband in a corner.
"Ohhooo kya hua Ragini ji... ?" Her husband asked.
Ragini: kya hua yeh aap puch rahe hain Viraj ? Aaj humari beti ki engagement hai or aap lag gye apne doston ke saath... kuch toh dhyaan dijiye arrangements and all.... wahan bechari Shehnaaz akeli saara kaam kar rahi hai....
Viraj: aree Ragini ji aap bilkul fikar mat kijiye... humari nazar hai sab kaam par... sab kuch bhot achhe se ho jayega... or Jab tak shehnaaz haii aap kyu chinta kar rahi hain...
Ragini: par...
"Ragini" before she can complete her words someone called her name. She turned around and saw her college friend there.
Ragini: Rita.... tu aagyi... oh my god.. what a pleasant surprise....
Viraj: hello Rita ji... kaisi hain aap ?
Rita: main bhot achhi hu bhaiya aap kaise hain ?
Ragini: tu kitni kharab hai Rita... Mujhe call par kaha sorryyyy main nahi aa sakti... Ashok ka kaam hai and all haan... pata Hai main Kitni upset ho gyi thi...
Rita: areee main tujhe upset kar sakti hu kya ? Agar main bata deti toh tujhe surprise kaise deti haan ? Aur Vedika toh meri apni bachhi haii... uski engagement mein toh aana hi tha...
Viraj: Ashok ji kahan hai ?
Rita: bhaiya unka sach mein ek important kaam tha woh toh nahi aa payenge....
Ragini: aree aese kaise? Aur Misha, Sidharth, Rudra Kahan hain teeno ?
Rita: Misha toh Naman or samaira ke saath Singapore gayi hui hai... aur Sidharth ka tujhe pata hi haii.... usey apne business ke alawa toh kuch dikhta nahi hai...
Viraj: areyy aese kaise ? Dekhlo Rita... abh hum bhi nahi aayenge Sidharth ki shaadi mein....
Ragini nodded too.
Rita: aree aree bhaiya... don't worry maine Sidharth ko jaise kaise agree kar liya haii woh apni meeting ke baad aa jayega Rudra ko Lekar... aur rahi baat Sidharth ki shadi ki toh woh toh honi hi thodi impossible hai...
She said chuckling while viraj and Ragini joined her too.
Suddenly they all heard a loud noise and turned around in that direction..
Shehnaaz: bhaiyaa kya kar rhe hain aap ? Isme engagement party ka cake hai... abhi Gir jaata na... zara aram se kariye...
The Cake was about to fall but Sana holded it at the right time and by God's grace no damage happened to it. Viraj and Ragini came there running followed by Rita..
Man: sorry Madam... galti ho gyi...
Shehnaaz: koi baat nahi bhaiya bass thoda aaram se kariye....
Nodding in yes, the man left from there.
Ragini: kya hua beta?
Shehnaaz: kuch nahi aunty... everything is alright... aap chinta mat kariye... aur yeh kya har choti si baat pe aapki smile kyu gayab ho jaati hai... areyy chaliye thoda smile kariye.... haste hue kya gazab dhaati hain aap....
She said side hugging Ragini..
Ragini: badmash... Maze leti hai mere...
Viraj: arey sahi toh keh rahi hai woh... haste hue kya qayamat lagti hain aap...
Ragini blushed and said....
Ragini: kya ji aap bhi....
Shehnaaz hooted making her blush more while rita was smiling adoring them.
Ragini: chlo bhot ho gyi Masti... or bhot ho gaya kaam.... shehnaaz beta abh tum ready ho jao....
Sana nodded in yes with a smile.
Sana: Haa aunty bass jaa hi rahi thi... After all meri bestfriend ki engagement haiii... toh sab kuch perfect hona chahiye yeh dekhna meri responsibility haii....
Ragini ji caressed her hair and sana left from there to get ready.
Viraj: Shehnaaz ne sab kuch aese sambhal liya haii jaise uski khud ki behen ki shadi ho haina ?
Ragini: hmmm... aakhir uski aur Vedika ki bonding hai hi itni achhi....
Rita: sach mein bhot pyaari bachhi haii...
Ragini: haaa... Vedika ki bestfriend haii shehnaaz....
Rita smiled.

Here Sana directly comes into her room and threw the pen and list away and lay on the bed.
Sana: huffffff.... finally saari arrangements ekdum perfectly ho gayi...
After few minutes, she got up and looked at herself in the mirror.
Sana: abh tu bhi perfect ho jaa shehnaaz... kya bhoot bani ghoom rahi hai subha se....
She took her clothes and went inside the washroom to change.
She sat in front of the mirror and applied moisturizer followed by a simple nude makeup and wear matching accessories to complete her look.
Sana: ayeee hyeee kya lagti ho tum shehnaaz.... ekdum perfect.
She blew a kiss to herself in the mirror and moved outside the room humming "TUM HUSN PARI... TUM JAAN-E-JAHAN TUM SABSE HASEEN... TUM SABSE JAWAAN"
She finally reached her bestfriend Vedika's room where she was getting ready with Mansi.
Sana: oh my my.... my lovely bestfriend is glowing so much.. haan?
Vedika turned around and looked at her.
Vedika: tu bhi kuch kam nahi lag rahi hai...
Sana; or iss mansi ko dekho... aaj toh pakka ms. Universe ka title jeet legi...
Mansi: hum teeno kitne sundar lag rhe hain....
Vedika: oh come on mansu... we are...
"BORN SUNDAR" all three shouted together and hugged each other while chuckling.
Vedika and mansi's outfit
Sana took some kohl from her eyes and applied it behind vedika's ear and mansi also did the same.
Sana/mansi: Tujhe kisi ki nazar na lage.
Vedika smiled at them.
Vedika: waise yaar yeh function kab start hoga...
Mansi: ohhh god Vedu... not again... 21st time you are asking the same question..
Sana: ohhooooo someone is getting desperate to meet her hone wale husband....
Mansi: hmmmm... wahan Arjun jiju ka bhi yahi haal hoga....
Sana chuckled while Vedika blushed.
Sana: waah jiju ka naam aate hi Sharma gyi..kya baat haii... waise mujhe smjh nahi aata tum logon ka bhi... itne Saalon Se date kar rhe ho... ek dusre ko jaante ho... phir bhi itna desperation and all...
Vedika: tu nahi smjhegi ms. Single... jis din tujhe tera soulmate mil jayega tab tujhe smjh aayega ... aur jab teri engagement hogi na tab main dekhti hu kitna desperate nahi hogi tu...
Sana: huhh... kuch bhi... na mujhe soulmate chahiye aur na hi mujhe engagement karni haiii...
Vedika: karni toh tujhe padegi hi... abh meri engagement ho rahi haii toh main tum dono ki bhi Kara hi dungi... Ishika aunty or Yashi aunty ko bolungi ki dekho aunty maine toh kar hi li haii... inki bhi Kara do... umar ho gayi haii aapki betiyo ki shaadi ki...
Sana: oyeee aesa kuch karne ka sochna bhi mat... meri maa mujhse jayada toh Tujhpe trust karti haiii... Teri Baat matlab pathhar ki lakeer haii unke liye....
Mansi: haaan bhyiii same... meri mumma bhi aese hi haii ki agar Vedika aur shehnaaz keh rahe hain toh theek hi keh rahe honge.... mereko mat phasa dena iss sab Mei..
Vedika: main toh karungi...
She said showing them her tongue and all the three started arguing.
At the same time sana's phone rang... it was Ragini's call so she picked it up.
Sana: haaan aunty... okay hum aa rhe hai....
Saying so she cut the call.
Sana: chal bhyiii tere dulhe raja aagye hain... engagement ka time bhi ho gaya hai... aunty ne tujhe neeche bulaya haiii...
They started leaving the room.
