ALICE POV:
When I opened my eyes Ethan was no where to be find beside me. I thought it was dream but then I saw pillow beside me which seems someone slept on it. It means I was not dreaming it was true but where he went.
Did he went away like I did last day in morning? I thought and sighed thinking positive.
Today was Saturday and I am very excited as I am going to attend my new friends wedding.
Yes, my new client indian girl beacme my friend in some days. Talking about her dress and our choices we became friends automatically. I was trying to avoid her wedding before but now as she is my friend too. I would love to join her wedding.
Lauren came to me running after I was done with my yoga. She was chirping brightly and her pinks were all red. I teasingly gave her cocked eyebrow look grinning widely. Her smile was not stopping at all.
She showed me her diamond bracelet with butterfly and heart on it hanging. It was just so beautiful and I already felt flattered for it. I made her sit on my bed and asked her to wait till I get a shower.
I came out with bathrobe and saw impatient Lauren being restless to spill her beans up. Without bothering to change with wet hairs dripping water from ends I sat beside her. She smiled with pink cheeks looking at me and a smile crept to my lips too. I never saw her so much blushing and happy.
“We… wee… ee.. had dinner, danced together, he got in his knees asking me to be his gf with a rose. I was top of the world listening it. I hugged him and said yes to him chirpingly. He settle me on his lap and we kissed each other.
I swear chocolate pastries are less tasty and tempting for me than his lips. It was the best kiss I had but I know many more to come. Thank you Alice for making my date so special I know it was all your touch giving it perfect look. I was so impressed with decoration and the food was yummy too. But yeah not more than him.”
“Everything for you darling. May you have many more kisses, hot fiery moments, dates and trip my child”, I said her teasingly raising my hand toward her as if I am blessing her.
“Ofcourse goddess!!”, she giggled bending down in order to respect the goddess. We both laughed out loud making my whole room echoing and chirping with our giggles.
“You remember right today is Meera’s wedding and we all are invited there. I have designed our dresses don’t worry it is on our way to home already”, I said last line when I saw her to utter something. But when I added she chuckled loudly and jump on me hugging.
We laughed and talked about dress colours and jewelllery. When my phone popped up with Meera’s text asking when we will come. I texted her back saying after getting my dresses. She texted back for hurrying up and I said yup I will.
We heard a knock taking our attention toward door and saw Ethan with John. I straightened my body and placed a pillow on my lap and Lauren sticked to me.
“You’re dresses has arrived. Get ready we will be leaving in 1 hour”, he said looking at my wet hair falling on face with body wrapped by bathrobe.
“What??? Only 1 hour are you out of your mind bro. It’s too less time I need some more time. Please!!…”, she said with puppy eyes pouting to him and then looked at me.
I placed my hand on Lauren and blinked my eyes to her. It made her look relief as she got I mean her to get relax. Ethan was staring drooling his eyes on me and John made his way in keeping dresses in room. John left after placing it and Ethan looked down closing the door.
Lauren looked at me when he left with puppy eyes I said her to chill. I asked her to have bath in bathroom and then we both can be ready here together.
I called John for asking my jewellery and he said it just arrived now. He bought that jewelleries into my room after two minutes. I thanked him with a smile when Ethan caught my eyes. He was revolving here and there in passage busy in call. When he saw me he stopped and drooled his eyes on me from. top to bottom.
He was staring for a few minutes towards my long visible legs. I felt shy and slid my legs behind the door and his eyes looke up finally. I smiled at him and closed the door as my breath was getting uneasy with his gawking looks.
I opened my red blouse with stone work on it and bottom lehenga with glittery work and stones embroidered on it. Looking my pretty lehenga made me smile widely and thoughts of Ethan drooling me seeing in it made me blush. I wore my dress looking at timing and watched myself in mirror for a min.
Lauren appeared from bathroom looking at me with chirping voice. “Wow!!! Alice good job Miss. Designer it is awesome. I swear Ethan is going to have hard to time giving attention to anyone else. Btw I hope you made my dress golden white as I wanted”, she said and opened her dress without giving me a chance to speak.
When she saw her dress her mouth was hung opened. Her eyes and hands were not leaving her dress for a minute. I kept my hand on her shoulder looking my dress lost in her dress. “So Miss. Lauren is it good or not. If you don’t want then leave it I will wear again in evening during reception.”
She hugged her dress yelling loudly “NO” to me and I laughed out loud. After our teasing part she wore her lehenga and I styled my hair making light curls on end. Lauren styled her hair as same as mine #bestiesgoal.
She was looking so killing in her white lehenga bordered and embroidered with stones of golden colour on it. It makes her look perfect as it was only designed for her only. “You are looking awesome sweetheart. I am sure Jack will have hard time controlling him. Don’t worry I will make sure you guys get a room”, she was blushing hard and I elbowed her.
It was still 20 mins left in 1 hour which makes it clear that we have 10 mins for each to do makeup. Lauren did my makeup and I did her. We put roses on our hair with the help of pins for getting fully indian touch completed. I pinned white roses and she pinned red roses on her hair.
We left from our room going downstairs and found Ethan wearing dark blue sherwani and Jack with whitish golden sherwani. They both were freezingly standing in living room when theireyes fall on us.
We both stared each other and giggled seeing our boys state. Our fortune words became true and we made our way down in slow motion.
Boys were still in frozen state till then we reached toward them. Both were holding his chest clenching with their hands which made us giggle more looking at them. “Let’s go we are on time. It’s perfect 1 hour now let’s go boys”, I and lauren said unison.
We passed away from them leaving boys behind drooling each other and proudly walked to our car. We took seat in passenger seat and Alex was already behind sitting with grandma and Mary. John didn’t joined us because his wife wanted to go out with him and I allwowed him. Grandma yelled at boys asking them to come fast making them comeback in sense.
They came and settled their ass on seats and started the car. It was still morning only and we were arriving before groom arrives. In 1 and a half hour we were there and headed straight to Meera’s room. She was looking so adorable in her Jaipuri designed dress looking totally traditional of India’s one of the most famous state.
Her lehenga not only had Jaipuri touch on it but it had an elegant and royal look too. Her lehenga was 5kg weight and she still carried it lovely. Her fully embroidered dupatta was looking amazing with a extra cloth matching it properly lying from head to down drooling on floor.
It was red lehenga with orange colour embroidered work and bordered lining it welly. The duppata was orange with red colour border on it with embroidered work. The colors on dress was making each and every color giving complement to each other.
When she saw me she came running towards me and hugged me with all true love affection. She looked beside me standing Lauren eyeing towards her and I blinked saying yes. She hugged her too and my Lauren hugged her back.
Lauren looked at me and before I could say Meera said by herself “Hi!! I am Meera Alice new friend and you. Her bestie right? She talks so much about you that made me clear you are Lauren. It doesn’t feels I met you first time as you were always present in our conversation”, she said with a wide smile.
We talked for few minutes and clicked pictures with her and others. When we heard drums being played outside and we looked at Meera. “It means Groom has arrived. Go and check if he looks nice or not then let me know.”
“Will you not see him?”
“No I can’t see him but yeah mischievously can have a look of him.”
“Great!!! That’s something new Meera”, I said.
We ran towards balcony to see groom he was on horse back with a sword on his waist, jewellery on neck with a pagdi on head(groom’s cap). He was looking awesome in golden red sherwani and looked up to find Meera but she hide.
Meera’s brother went to groom and made him come down with support. Drums, trumpets were still on and everyone was dancing like crazy on the beat. We danced in balcony too with the bride and it was very much fun.
Then after groom came inside after their mother in law pulled groom’s nose. And everyone screamed with Whoa!!! Then groom touched the decoration flowers on gates with his sword and finally gets to sit in mandap.
After sometime Meera was called down to and we took her holding her dupatta from back. On her head a piece of red cloth was holded by 4 boys and we girls were on sides or back. She sat beside his groom on chair and vowed near the fire and took 7 circles after exchanging garlands. Her husband made her wear mangalsutra and venom powder sindoor.
After their marriage rituals were done we went to her congratulated. She hugged her back and we shaked hand with his groom. After meeting them we rushed to food counter as we were hell hungry and due to excitement we didn’t had our breakfast too.
When we reached there saw Alex, grandma and Mary sitting on the table enjoying food. Ethan and Jack was staring us from corner but we ignored them and launched on food. It was all indian foods like chola bhature, naan, chcicken chilli, tandoori chicken, jeera rice, matar paneer, kebab, gulab jamun, motichur k laddoo, tandoori roti, dal makhni, moong ka halwa, chicken lollipop, paneer pakoda, malai paneer.
We were having the best indian food in this wedding and it was all tasty. After having a heavy lunch we started to go back to bride but our boys blocked our ways. We looked at them and then our selves but instead of saying something they pulled our hand and took in corner.
“Why you girl’s are ignoring us? Do we don’t exist or what? Can’t you have a single moment for us?”, both said same dialogues and we were not so distanced from each other so heard.
I looked at Lauren and she looked at me and we laughed out loud with boys looking at us in anger and confusion. We made them stand together and said.
“Ohhh boysss…. we were not ignoring you guys but avoiding may be because we don’t want holes on us”, Lauren said laughingly to irritate them. “Btw it was not intentional because why would we ignore anyone. It’s just that we don’t know about Indian culture thought our mom is. So we were just enjoying it so chill and come with us if you want”, I said.
“But what to see more now let’s come and revolve with us. Now don’t dare to move from here be with us only”, again they said together making us laugh.
“But why??”, we wanted to see more and stay near Meera as his groom’s shoes were with us. Yes its an indian wedding tradition to pick groom’s shoes and ask for money. Only sisters or friends can do this and its very much fun to do.
“Listen boys we will be back in some minutes. We swear after that we will not leave your sides but please let us go now. Please!!!”, I said and we both gave our puppy looks to them. They stared each other and then agreed.
In their envy of jealousy and missing us emotions Ethan forgot Lauren and Jack are acting like him too. And Jack forgot he have to hide it. Great!!! Boys today it means you will be okay? Good then.
We went to groom and made him irritate a bit then asked for $1, 00, 000 and he agreed after bargaining for a miute in this amount. It was all fun we laughed, giggled and enjoyed it fully. We said Meera that our boyfriends are getting angry because of less attention so we are going. After clicking pictures with them we went to our boys after 1 hour.
It was wedding and reception both together so no worries was there. It was already evening and we were tired too so finally went to our boy’s table. And took sit beside them keeping our head on their shoulder as the lehenga is too heavy to be handle but we did still.
We asked cameraman for clicking pictures of us with our loves privately and 4 in one frame too. Alex and grandma clicked pictures with us in wedding time only and now they left for home. Only we 4 were left to be here and enjoy. I went to bar after photo sessions and was about to drink when Ethan said no to drinks.
No one from us was allowed to drink because of him and I pouted too but it doesn’t affect him anymore. He dragged me far from this crowd and took near lake side. He came close amd close to me making our lips almost touched.
“You know boys were drooling on you. Just because no one is able to took off their eyes from you. Who told you to wear such a sexy lehenga and make boy’s fall for you?”, is he scolding me for being sexy or jealous because they stared me?
“No… I.. did.. n’t… knew they were drooling…”, before I could finish my sentence his lips smashed on mine. It was possessive, angry, missing, love, caring, happy kiss with all emotions except dominating which was best to have it.
Our kiss was broke with a announcement of bride and groom’s dance with other’s joining on floor too. I forwarded my hand when the announcement was over. He holded my hand and then we joined too.
I was lost in his touch, closness, and vibes which are fully filled with love. Meera winked me and I giggled while Lauren winked too as she dragged Jack for dancing too. We were just so lost during the dancing and his hands were making circles on my waist making me shy. The lights got dim when couple’s joined and all was lost in their own partners.
“You are looking gorgeous and breathtaking today. But you have too pay for leaving me alone whole day”, he whispered in my ears making me bite my lips. No no… noo…. oo.. the dominating Ethan can’t be back god please. I don’t want to be punished please save me.
After couple dance there was a performance from their realtives, friends, and last but not the last only the bride and groom dance. It was night now and bride and groom was about to leave for their wedding night. When Meera was going towards car she was crying a lot hugging her family and throwed rice grains backward in her mother’s dupatta. It means a girl is going to her in laws home but her father’s home may be always showered with blessings of god.
I was holding Ethan’s arm tightly leaning my head on his shoulder as it made me think of my mom. If my mom would have been alive then she would have cried a lot too in my wedding. Lonely tears rolled from my eyes to cheeks and I didn’t realised but Ethan wiped them with his thumb. He holded my waist tightly in a gesture of consoling me.
#Weddingwasover it was a long day and I don’t have energy left anymore. Tomorrow my day will be used as sleeping day only. We left after bride and groom and headed to home. I and Lauren was hell tired she went her room I in mine. The mmoment I came I changed in comfy clothes.
After changing I launched myself on bed and was lost in deep slumber of sleep. Ethan came to my room and I can feel it but my body didn’t move. He left I guess after looking at me.
Indian weddings can be really tiring and the dresses most heaviest dress. As well as too emotional long and fun rituals are there to be attained.
