Hey everyone! Sorry i didnt update earlier. I just got busy. And i'm sorry this chapter is so short. I meant to make it longer but i decided to just post this much to give you guys something.
Chapter 2:
"He is the most annoying, obnoxious, and disrespectful person I've ever met!" Riddhima exclaimed, sitting down on her cousin's bed, arms crossed over her chest.
"Rdzi, you've told us that over 100 times since you got back. Let's talk about something else. I mean, come on, today is our Sonu's wedding day!" Rddhima's older sister, Anjali Gupta said, resting her hads on their cousin Sonali Gupta's shoulders, smiling into the mirror at her.
"Yeah, Ridzi. You're probably never even going to see that guys again! I actually have to warn about something," Sonali said, turning around from the mirror and looking at Riddhima.
"About what?" Riddhima asked.
"About the my going-to-be-husband, Sanjay's, cousin," Sonali said.
"His cousin?" Anjali asked.
"Yes, his cousin. Sanjay told me his cousin and his best friend are planning some insane pranks for you guys if you steal the shoes. They'll do anything to get them back if you take them. So just watch out for the groomsmen, okay?"
Riddhima and Anjali looked at each other and then at Sonali. "Okay. They can try getting the shoes back from us, but they will probably be unsuccessful," Anjali smirked, flipping her hair back.
"Okay, well first get the shoes, then you can brag," Sonali said, laughing slightly.
After a few moments of talking and joking, one, of many, of Sonali's aunts poked her head into the room and said, "It's time."

"Did you hide the shows?" Anjali whispered to Riddhima urgently after the wedding, heading to the next room to eat lunch.
"Yeah, i gave them to Prachi. But that's not the problem! What's he doing here?" Riddhima whispered back angrily.
Anjali rolled her eyes. "Well obviously he has some kind of relation with Sanjay, Ridzi."
"This is such a-" But Riddhima never finished her thought because she and Anjali were pummeled with water balloons.
"What the hell?!" Anjali yelled, looking down at her now wet saree.
Riddhima heard some laughter and looked up to see Armaan standing in front of her along with another. "We meet again, huh?" Then he pointed to the boy standing next to him. "This is Atul Joshi, Sanjay's good friend. And I'm his cousin. You two are in for a crazy hour. Well, that is if you don't give us the shoes back."
"If you think we're going to give in that easily, then you are hugely mistaken. We Guptas don't give in easily," Riddhima said, going face-to-face with Armaan, crossing her hands over her chest.
Armaan smirked at her. "Well, we Malliks don't like losing."
"Then you better learn to like it because we Guptas always win," Riddhima said, turning around an walking away.

"What happened to you two?" Padma asked her two daughters as they sat down next to their parents, slamming their plates onto the table.
"The groomsmen. They wanted the shoes," Anjali said through gritted teeth. "God, this sarre me a fortune! It was designer!"
"Ah, the shoe war. Sonali told me about the groomsmen," Shashank Gupta laughed. "Well, don't let them get the shoes, okay?"
Riddhima smiled. "Thanks, Dad. And don't worry, a little water won;t do anything to stop us. the lunch will be over in an hour. How many more pranks can they pull?"

"Armaan, i feel really bad about that. Do you really think we had to throw water balloons at them? I mean, their dresses looked really expensive," Atul said, looking guilty and full of regret.
"Champ, don't worry! It's not a big deal. It's just for fun," Armaan replied, eating some of the chilli paneer he had gotten from the food line.
Atul sighed. "Yeah, you're right. So anyway, is that really the girl from the airplane you were telling me about?"
"Yeah. Coincidence, huh? Well, it's going to be fun playing the pranks on her," Armaan said, smirking, thinking about the things he had planned.
