"cheer up akka or else jiju will find another girl to be his bride if you keep on rolling your eyes thinking you have a problem with nerves." teased anvitha.
"Nope, i have my eyes only on her" gushed nishanth without removing his gaze from ishu.
"aaaawwww, cute couples." Anvitha awed the couple.
"Oh My Lord, I have got the mercy to witness my ishu blush. I thank you God for fulfilling one of my wishes' ' anvitha exclaimed dramatically, earning a wink from nishanth and more blush from ishu.
Looking at her ishu shying and blushing, Anvitha threw her head backward and laughed heartily. Her eyes shrunk and lips stretched wider giving a glimpse of her white pearly teeth unaware of the fact someone was looking at her.
On the other hand, Sagar had his eye glued to her. He could not blink his eyes. His retrieve broke when Kishore hugged him.
"Hey buddy!! Sorry, I couldn't call you earlier to inform you regarding my late arrival. Did you wait too long? You might have. Shit! I should have called you." Kishore was blabbering.
"Hey kish!! Cool. That's ok. You are here that's important or else you know how dramatic nish can be" sagar said reminiscing nishanth dramatic ways. Kishore had been to France to attend the fashion show and he told sagar to pick him up but the flight got delayed and sagar had to wait for 2 hours. Later on knowing that flight won't reach anytime soon he left from there dropping a voicemail that at least any of us had to be there at Nishanth's wedding or else he will kill us with his endless drama. So he had to reach the venue alone.
Their eyes searched for swati when they found they marched to the place where swati was seated. Kishore was known amongst all of Sagar's close relatives. Nishanth and Sagar are cousins, when he visits Sagar house all the three used to play. Growing up they had different educational backgrounds and profession drifted them apart.
Sagar engulfed his mother to hug and kissed her forehead lovingly and took a seat beside her. Kishore did the same and sat beside sagar.
"Today I am so lucky. God had graced me with you guys' presence." Swati dramatically wiped her unshed tears.
Kishore chuckled while Sagar rolled his eyes.
"Mom, you know right? Kishore had been to France to attend a fashion show and I got busy handling both his and my company. I don't get time to even blink my eyes and here you are complaining about not visiting you. You know I love you and each second I miss you. See i even completed all my pending work to stay for 2 days with you. "Sagar handled swati smoothly. He knew this would occur so came prepared. He knows how to deal with the situation.
Soon the rituals started and they got busy with that. When the time had come to tie tali, anvitha felt her heart do some summersault. She felt giddy and nervous all of sudden.
Maybe the fact of me being the next in row is synching to me now
Sagar couldn't take his eyes off anvitha. His mind was still registering the fact that she had not looked at him for once. It's not like he couldn't be seen from where she is. He couldn't be happy with other girls in the venue eyeing him because he wanted her attention but she wasn't even turning to his side.
The wedding happened in full blow and next came the awaiting reception. Everyone was busy changing their attire but Anvitha was happy with her attire and indulged herself in the process of helping the bride to get ready for the reception.
Soon they were taken to stage. Anvitha stood next to the bride to give ishu company and collect the gifts and secure it. How can she miss this golden chance to tease the new couple.
"Anna, if you want any help managing ishu akka tantrums don't hesitate to contact me. I am just a call away. She can be a witch when she gets angry, I am warning you now itself." anvitha said teasingly.
"I know how to tame her. Don't worry my baby sister. I will handle her in my ways" whispered the last part to ishu.
cue to blush.....
"I should be the one to make you blush. No one else other than me." nishanth stated shamelessly to which anvitha giggled.
Their teasing section got interrupted by two men in formals to wish the bride and groom. Anvitha got busy placing the gifts in the bag given to her.
Sagar purposefully dragged Kishore to the stage pretending to talk. Sagar is not someone to go up to them and talk. He doesn't make the first move unless he has something to gain from it. He wants attention solemnly to him and he hates when he is being ignored. So it was quite shocking for Kishore when Sagar invited him to step on stage to give Nishanth company.
The couple was busy with the guest here and Anvitha was feeling bored. Soon the DJ started with the latest 2020 collection. She started tapping her feet . Her feet were twitching to dance but she couldn't as no one was dancing it would be odd for her to dance alone. She thought of dragging her boring yet intelligent brother for a dance. Her eyes started to scan the wedding hall in search of karan. She found him in the distance managing 8 big sweet boxes stacked one on the top of another, he was failing miserably. She wanted him to suffer some more time for ruining her surprise plan she had planned for her parents' anniversary but the next song played blew her patience away. She rushed to help karan and bribe him for a dance.
"Anna, here let me help you" said in the sweetest voice ever.
Karan looked at her gobsmacked.
Did she possess someone? Why is she being so sweet? Oh God!! This calls for high alert.
"No thanks, I can manage. " Karan stepped aside from her inorder to escape but who is he kidding?
"Anna, Don't you believe you little sister"She pouted, batting her eyelids and he fell for it. "Ok , tell me what you want? " Karan asked without beating around the bush.
"Anna, I'll tell you later. Let me help you first." Anvitha took the sweet box from him and marched towards the kitchen in the wedding hall to distribute among guests.
"Now, tell me what you want? ''Being impatient, Karan spoke as soon as they left the kitchen. Anvitha instead of answering his question dragged him to the hall and at the center and shouted 'Let's dance' .
"Are you crazy anvi? Who will dance in front of so many people. Oh God! You have no limits to act crazy. '' shouted karan.
Anvitha didn't care about his remark and descended to the floor to sway her hips to the beat.
Soon she dragged Karan to the dance floor and started dancing with her. Everyone joined in their crazy dance.
Sagar felt utterly humiliated when Anvitha moved as soon as he stepped on the stage. He thought at least she would acknowledge him when he was near her but she flew away like a feather in the air getting angry. He was already losing his cool.
His eyes popped out when Anvitha entered the stage and swayed her hips to the beat. He was completely lost in her. He stood there gaping at her. Everyone had eyes on her and for some reason he wasn't liking it. He had seen men's eyeing her lustfully in spite of her modest dressing. He clenched his fist. He wanted to beat shit out of every man who was eyeing her in the wrong way. He was on the verge of losing his cool, the song had stopped along with her dance. He let out a long breath he was holding. Anvitha smiled bashfully at the people clapping at her performance. She thanked everyone but ignored to meet the gaze of one person who was waiting patiently for her single glance.
Sagar was burning with anger. An evil plan popped in his mind. He smirked wickedly.
