Labon ko labon pe sajao
Kya ho tum mujhe ab batao
Tod do khud ko tum baahon mein
Meri baahon mein, meri baahon mein, meri baahon mein
Labon ko labon pe sajao, Kya ho tum mujhe ab batao

Haila; 10 pages already!

Sorry to keep the Sangeet ticking over for so long but fianlly, it's time for the wedding [I know, i know - one week late but we're there!😆]...

Ahem; Ruhaan's side of the story!😳

Starring: Ruhaan, Abhi, Tanai, Rumi and Rani

Ruhaan paced his room nervously; tugging at his t-shirt, running his fingers through his hair before trying to flatten it in again. Sighing he collapsed on the bed and carefully removed the solitary picture that had rested under his pillow for the past few days.

A smile danced on his lips as gazed wordlessly at her photograph; taken not so long ago when he had first seen her at Pia's wedding; standing to one side and laughing with her friends. Her bangs fluttered against her cheek and he grinned at the deep dimple that adorned her left cheek as she smiled, unaware of being photographed. She was beautiful; and she was going to be his wife. Today.

"God, Ruhaan – I leave you alone for two minutes and you go back to staring at her photo."

Ruhaan jumped a mile as Tanai strolled in to the room. She had already dressed and fussed with her pink dupatta; smoothing it over her deeply embroided lengha and looking every bit as the groom's sister. Rolling her eyes she took the photograph and tucked it into her purse.

"You'll see her at the wedding so stop acting like a lovesick majnu".

She teased as she thrust an off white sherwani towards him, complete with a pale blue stole. Ruhaan ducked his head, slightly embarrassed at being caught and took the clothes mutely.

"Get dressed!"

This time the order came from his cousin Rumi who appeared at the doorway; also dressed in pink but a deeper colour that flowed beautifully in to red and was bordered of with gold. Like Tanai she had spent the better half of the morning at the beauty parlour and looked stunning. She was dragging Abhi with her; he had already been attacked by the two girls and stood grinning in a black sherwani.

Ruhaan gave a grim smile.

"Please tell me I won't be looking like that."

Rumi hit him with her bag as Abhi laughed.

"Sorry bro, Maa's orders. You're not walking out of the house with your hair looking like that."

Ruhaan sighed and resigned himself two at least two hours of torture as his sisters, and most likely his mother and aunt would fuss over him before he finally got to see Simran. The thought made him smile and almost gave him enough hope to sit through the ordeal without grumbling. Almost.

Finally Tanai and Rumi took a step back and scrutinised Ruhaan before declaring that there work here was done. Sandheya Chachi walked in as Ruhaan was tugging at his sherwani and slapped his hand away.

"You look great Ruhaan, but where's your Sehra?"

She gave Tanai a questioning look who immediately started panicking.

"Omg; I can't find. Did we forget it at the shop? Omg, Omg, how can we have a groom without a sehra."

Rumi rolled her eyes and kicked Tanai.

"Relax, remember we gave it to…"

But before she had a chance to finish, Ruhaan's bedroom door burst open (again) and Rani hurried inside, clutching the Sehra in her hands. She was dressed in a pink, heavily embroided lengha teamed with a sky blue blouse. A blue and gold mehndhi tattoo glinted on her arm as she thrust the Sehra towards Sandheya.

"Sorry I'm late, the traffic was a nightmare."

She sighed and beamed at Ruhaan who was staring at her in disbelief.

"I thought you were in USA?"

Rani rolled her eyes and planted her hands on her hips.

"Did you really think I was going to miss your wedding? I'm just glad I got here on time; now come on otherwise we're going to be late. Besides, I haven't seen Simran in a while."

At the sound of Simran's name, Ruhaan shot straight up and the girls laughed as they took him outside to join the waiting bharaat.
