Part 1
A family of five walk in the hotel towards the banquet hall to where the mehndi function is being held.Once they walked in they saw a couch for the bride and groom to be seated on during the ceremony.In front of that was a dance floor and then the tables set for the guests to be seated on and eat dinner as they talk with their friends.They walked in and met with the groom's family. Since it was happening in the state of the groom, they had to do all the preparations for the
wedding.
"Riddhima!Anjali!" yelled a girl with curly hair.Two girls that are in the family of five walked in turn around and look at the girl."Acha hai tum dono aa gaye.Mujhe tum dono ki help chaiye."
"Kisme help chaiye, Muskaan?" Anjali asked who was dressed in a yellow churidaar.
"Woh mehndi ke plates par candles dalni hai," Muskaan said.
"Okay," Riddhima replies who was dressed in a green anarkali.
"Atul, main aati hoon." Anjali said to her husband who stood there with his parents-in-law.
All of them had come to Riddhima and Anjali's cousin's wedding.Today, is the mehndi function where the bride will come and get mehndi applied to her hands and feet.Soon, the guests have arrived and now Riddhima was lighting the candles on the mehndi plates and Anjali handed them to the girls that are suppose to get the plates.After that was done, they walk out in the hall so the groom can come from behind as they walk in.The girls walked in two lines with the mehndi plates in their hands as the women came from behind with a tray of petals.The groom walked in with a dupatta over his head that was held by four guys on each corner.As he entered, the guests and the cousins, relatives cheered for him as a song played in the back.He sat on the
couch.
After a while of having a little dances from the guys and playing the dholki and singing the songs, it was time for the bride to arrive and be shown to the guests.Again, the close female cousins of the groom went and stood against the walls of the hallway so the bride can walk pass through them as they throw petals on her.She walks with her relatives with her two male cousins by her side.Her head bowed as she made her way and everyone cheered for her and the couple.A man who had white hair and was about in his late sixties came up to them and congratulated and gave his blessings to them.He stood back with the rest of the relatives and his eyes laned on a girl wearing a green anarkali dress as she clapped along with everyone.He turned his head and looked at his grandson who stood there also clapping and was talking to his cousin.The man was the bride's grandfather and looking at the girl in the green anarkali dress, he had a feeling that she is right for his grandson.He walked over to
the girl's dad who standing right next to her.
"Ji itni tayaron main hum mile nai.Main Jai hoon, dulhan ka Dadajan," the man introduced himself.
"Main Shashank hoon.Dulhe ka chacha," the dad of the girl introduced himself.He looked over to the girl that was smiling and clapping.
"Yeh aap ki beti hai?" Jai asked Shashank.Shashank looked over at his daughter and nodded to Jai.
"Ji yeh meri choti beti hai Riddhima aur jo uske saath kadi hai woh meri badi beti hai," Shashank told Jai and Jai nods.Atul had crossed over to take pictures of the bride and groom from a different angle so he stood next to Anjali."Jo abhi meri badi beti ke saath khada hua hai na, woh mera damad hai.Riddhima, Anjali, Atul, yeh dulhan ke Dadajan hai." Shashank informed his kids.All four of them smile at each other.
"Wah, badi pyari family hai aap ki." Jai commented on.
"Thank you.Aur aap ki bhi family bohut pyari hai isiliye toh do pyare familes ek saath hui hai," Shashank said.Both of them chuckle.
"Ji aap ne bilkul theek kaha," Jai said.
A man dressed in a black kameez and white salwar with a green dupatta around his neck walks over to Jai.Riddhima turned her head to see who came.She looked at him and just looked at him as he just talked.She looks back after just looking at the guy for a few seconds.
"Dadajan, Dad aap ko bula rahe hain." the guy said to his grandfather.Jai nods.
"Acha Armaan.Main aata hoon," Jai said to his grandson.Armaan walks back to where he was before."Main aap logo se baad main milta hoon." Jai smiles and walks away.
"Yeh kaun the," asked a lady dressed in a light green sari.
"Arre Padma woh dulhan ke Dadajan hai," Shashank replied to the lady.
"Acha," Padma replies.
Riddhima stood next to Muskaan and Anjali as they just talked.Jai walked over to them to get to know them better because they are going to be family after his granddaughter gets married to their cousin.
"Hello bachiyon," Jai said to them as he stood next to them.
"Hi Dadajan," Anjali said.
"Sab acha hai na.Tum bachiyon khush hona?" He asked them.
"Of course," Muskaan said and smiles.
"Anjali, Muskaan," they heard their aunt's voice.
"Dadajan hum abhi aate hain," Muskaan said.Jai nods and smiles at them as they left.
"Riddhima tum kitne saal ki ho?" Jai asked Riddhima.
"Main 22 ki hoon," Riddhima replies to Jai's question.From afar Shashank and Padma saw Jai talking to Riddhima.They wondered what he was talking about to Riddhima.They didn't mind Jai talking to Riddhima but then again its their daughter and they would like to know.
"Graduation ho gaye tumhare?" Jai asked another question.Riddhima nods.
"Ji abhi teen mahine pehle hi thi meri graduation," Riddhima answered.
"Bohut mubarako," he said and Riddhima smiles.
"Thank you," Riddhima responds.
"Kisme study ki hai," Jai asked.
"Maine accounting main ki hai," Riddhima told him about what she study in during
college.
"Haan, maine suna hai ke iss major main na kafi jobs hai." Jai said.
"Yeah, maine bhi suna hai." Riddhima said.
"Aap yehi rehte hai?" Jai asked.
"Ji main apne Papa aur Ma ke saath yahan rehti hoon aur meri behn aur Jiju out of state rehte hain," Riddhima told him."Mere Ma aur Papa woh rahe." Riddhima points to Shashank and Padma who were talking some of their old friends.
"Haan, main tumhare Papa se mil chuka hoon." Jai said.
Riddhima looked over Jai's shoulder and saw Anjali motioning her hand for Riddhima to come to her.Riddhima nods to Anjali and looks at Dadajan.
"Dadajan, mujhe Anjali bula rahe hai toh mujhe jaana hoga." Riddhima said.
"Acha beta.Tum jao," Jai said.Riddhima walked to Anjali.
"Dadajan, tumse kya puch rahe the?" Anjali asked as they started walking.
"Bas maine kya padayi ki hai," Riddhima said and Anjali looks at Riddhima.Riddhima looks at Anjali with a weird expression because of Anjali just staring at her."Kya hua Di?"
"Nai, kuch nai." Anjali said.They walk over to Muskaan who was helping her mom.
