...Preet...

A bucket full of water isn't the best way to get up. Trust me I was experienced.
This is what happens when your friends decide to come for your wedding. Yes all my friends from London were here.
I was still wandering in my room since my friends were in the guest house when Aryan called me.

"Brother, why call when we are in the same house?" I asked him picking the call.

"If you would have been out of your bed then you would have known I am not at home." He replied.

"You do know that I will be out of your house in a week. So what is your problem, can't you go all lovey dovey on me?" I asked him.
Well this was my trump card for everyone for last one week.

"Princess." He warned.

"Hey, I am only kidding okay, now tell me what do you want?" I asked him.

"Good now go in my room, and in the last drawer there is a blue bag, remove that and keep it out I am on my way." He informed and hung the phone.
Seems like he is busy.

I did as he asked me to but while removing one bag I dropped three others.

"Opps." I sighed picking up the bags when something caught my attention.
It was a transparent bag with a red dress inside.

I opened the bag and was awestruck by it's beauty.
I opened the dress and a note fell from it.

"To my dearest Princess,
I know I never wanted a day as such to come when I had to give you away, I wanted to keep you all for myself. I know I am being selfish but you are all I treasure. The day I picked you up for the first time I felt a sense of happiness. The rhythm your steps created made me smile. The greatest gift our parents ever gave me was you. I may not be besides you always but I'll be there for you always and forever.
I still remember, when you were small and I used to read fairytales to you and we would talk about your Prince Charming, you would always tell me you have one and that is more then enough. This was one of the reasons I called you my Princess.
You know what Preet, you might have found your king but you will always be my Princess and I will always be your Prince in shinning armani.
I love you Princess."

"Why didn't you give it to me?" I asked to no one in particular.

He had got me a wedding dress, he didn't give it to me even when I showed him the dress Kabir gave me. On the contrary he was happy.
I was busy with all these thoughts when the door opened.
Dropping the contents on the bed I ran and hugged him, sobbing in his arms.

He sensed everything once he saw the bag open and the letter in my hands.
"Shhsh, Preet. Stop crying Princess. Hey, baby listen stop crying. " he tried to calm me down but I was far from it.
How could I ignore my brother's happiness in everything.
He picked me up and made me sit on the bed. I was still clutching his blazer tight to let go.
Giving up he just held me close while I cried hiding myself in him.

Once he noticed I was a bit sober he started talking.

"It's okay Princess, stop crying, you know that is my weakness." He said breaking the hug.
I was still holding him.

"Why didn't you give it to me?" I asked him once again.

He looked and me and was about to say something when someone else answered.

"Because he thought that it will hurt you and Me. Who asked you to use your brains?" Kabir spoke from the door.

I looked back at Aryan and he was looking down.
I sat across him and made him look at me.

"You will always be my Prince in Shinning Armani."
Immediately he pulled me in a hug and murmured a sorry.
I hugged him even tighter.

Breaking the hug I looked back at Kabir.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him and he gave me an amusing look while Aryan chuckled.

"No, I don't mean it like that, what I meant was, why are you here?"
Another amusing look.

"Shit, no wait." I tried explaining again but this time he answered beforehand.

" your ass of a brother called me." He said pointing towards Aryan.

"Hey, you don't call my brother ass." I said hitting him on the shoulder and getting up to leave but not before picking up the dress and the letter.
I returned back to my room and was overwhelmed by Kabir's gesture, I knew he wanted me to wear his gift but because he knew what Aryan means to me he was more than happy to let that go.
More or less now I was sure. I am telling him. I was telling him tonight.
Kabir's success party was scheduled tonight.
I quickly got up and got dressed in a black skinny jeans and a golden and black crop top.

Picking up my car keys and wallet along with my iPhone I descended downstairs.

I wasn't surprised when I saw Chris and Krish downstairs.

"What's up guys." I asked walking towards them.

"Nothing much, we were up so just crashed in." Chris answered casually.

"Where are you going?" Krish asked me.

"Ahh, I had to get some things, coming?" I asked both of them.

"Naah!" "yeah." Were the diverse answers I received. I looked at both of them and then declaring that Krish was coming along he dragged me out.

We were at the door when Chris called Krish and threatened him.

"Keep you hands off her man, you wouldn't want her hulk coming for you."
And then Chris started laughing.

Wait was this even a Joke? I looked at him annoyed but before I could do something I would regret Krish pulled me out of the house.

It had been hours and I still couldn't find something perfect.

"You are such a girl." Krish cried.

"Stop stating facts." I replied.

"I shouldn't have come."he spoke again.

"Your bad now shut up and help me."

Again after hours of search and around 10 calls we were done and so we drove of to Kabir's pent house where all our friends were present.
Me and Krish were still fighting over something stupid and he had his hand around my waist when we entered the house.
The moment we entered Kabir excused himself and walked away to the balcony.

I was confused at his behavior so freeing myself from Krish's grip and greeting everyone I went behind him.
He was standing outside holding the railing so tight that his knuckles were almost white.
I went and stood next to him and asked.

N I know it's a cliffhanger but take it another way round.
It's the suspense before the surprise.
