"Samaira!!! You are taking too much time to get ready!! Please come soon!!" Rishi screamed seeing that Sam is too long in bathroom.

"Wait wait!! Who is getting ready??" Samaira
asked,opening the bathroom door,in her regular T-shirt and track pants with hair tied in a messy braid.

"What?? You are not ready yet??? Are you joking??" Rishi again screamed at high pitch voice.

"But were I'm going??"

"We're going!! "

"Where??"

"Shopping!!"

"For what??"

"My garments for post and pre wedding ceremonies!!"

"But you had bought your dress which you will wear in Engagement!!"

"Oh Samaira!! Engagement is not the only ceremony!! There are so many functions like Mehendi,Sangeet,Haldi,My Reception!!. I need more and more clothes!!"

"Oh god!! I'm not going!! You better go with your family!!"

"They are also coming!!"

"Then I'm definitely not going with you several uncles and aunts!!"

"No...only my 2nd no. aunt and her daughter is coming!! You've to go Sam!! You know their choice is very old fashioned!! They will force me to wear weird dresses!! You have to come,only you can give me best choice cloths!!"

"OK ok coming!! But where??"

"Select City Walk mall,Saket!!"

"Oh not again!!"

"Just go buddy!! Get ready!!!" Rishika pushed her lazy friend towards the bathroom handing her the see green coloured upper garment and Capri.

Samaira steeped out of the bathroom in her as usual avatar with hairs open and minimal makeup,wearing the best thing,a beautiful smile. She believes that if you are in world's deepest pain,a smile can cover all that feeling from your face and reflect a ray of happiness. That what she do everyday,so that Rishi can't see her inner pain.

"OK ready!! Let's go!!"

"Yes!!"

They both rode on their scooty and leaved.

By an hour they reached the huge mall. Delhi's one of the costliest mall after DLF promenade.

Rishi saw her Aunt and her daughter waving a hi to them. Samaira parked the scooty as Rishika ran to her.

"Oh chachi( paternal aunt in English)!! How are you!!"

"Fine!!"

Rishika hugged her cousin Vaishali who was a beauty in black. Instead of dark skin colour,she was timeless beauty.

Sam greeted them and they all walked inside the mall.
"From where should I start??" She whispered in Sam's ear.

"You should first search finest bridal lehengas!!" Sam advised.

"But from where??"

"I think Sabhyasachi showroom is good!!"

"Yeas!!"

They headed to the top floor towards the Sabhyasachi showroom and entered the massive store. One can find anything in it.....the very best traditional wear....

Rishika started finding her own bridal lehenga for the wedding.

Sam's p.o.v

Rishika's choice was like hell. She was choosing only weird and dark colours...

First she choose a black coloured Rajasthani work lehenga...and believe me!! It was like she is going to wear a robe. Oh god!!

There were the finest and the best lehengas....but she didn't liked any of it. Is she mad??

We walked to the saree corner.....pink,violet,orange...the same boring colours. Rishi's face was like😫😫😫. Ha ha.
There was another corner for south Indian style sarees. We approached there,and believe me....they were the best sarees I've ever seen in my lifetime. The beauty of South Indian saree's are much more than North Indian. Right colour combination,minimal work,simplicity.... they carried everything. I loved them. In fact,there were jeweleries matching with the saree from Sabhyasachi's jewels Calcutta.

Rishika saw a white and green saree and went mad after it.

"Awww...its so beautiful!! Its unique and elegant!!! Chachi!!I'll wear this one in my wedding!! Its final!! Only this one!!"

Her aunt made a irritating face and said," Beta.......why are you asking for this?? Don't you know that in a Punjabi wedding no one wears white colour!! Please don't be stubborn like this!!"

Rishi moved her face here and there and said,"oh Chachi!! I've not asked you....I'll take permit from papa!!"

Her aunt was no angry...."Do whatever you want!! Why did you bring me here if you can select yourself..." She said and stood in a corner,face all red and folded hands.

"OK,..as your wish!!" Rishika said and took out her phone to call her father.

After some mins,she came back with a brighter face.

"What happened Rishi??" I asked.

"Papa said that I've to try the saree once and I've to send him a photo....if he likes it then its ok...if not then I've to buy a lehenga!!"

"Hmmm"

"Sam!!"

"Huh??"

"Did you like it??"

"Very much!! It will suit you the most!! "

"Yes!! I knew it!! My choice and my friend's choice is always best!!"

"Yeah!!"

She held the saree and walked to the shop volunteers. After talking for sometimes, she came back.

"What did they said??"

"They said that I can try it but I've to wear it on my T-shirt..."

"Go go!!"

I pushed her to the trial room. She took too much time.
But after some more mins,she came out,wearing the matching jewellery (off course fake) and trust me. Every eyes on the shop were on her. She was a complete goddess. The saree and the jewellery matched her so much that she was like a...like an angel.

She ran to me and asked,"how I'm looking??"

"Don't ask me....look at everyone"

She turned and looked that everyone was looking at her like she was a star among them.

She was so happy and so was I.

"Please take a photo!! I'll send it to papa!!" She handed her iPhone8 to me to take a photo.

I took a beautiful photo of her as she snatched it to see. She was so excited.

Rishika's p.o.v

I was so happy. I was feeling beautiful first time. I send the photo to papa and was about to shut the phone when something came in my mind. I opened the whatsapp and also send the photo to Ruhaan!!
