"Everybody has an addiction, mine just happens to be you!"

Arshita's Pov

I slowly opened my eyes as the sun rays hitted through the window and made me turn to the other side while groaning.

As soon as I looked at the couch beside the bed I found Shubman sitting there looking at me while smiling.

"That's creepy!" I said slowly and he chuckled, "That's my love for you!" he said and I giggled as I sat up on the bed, "Ohh that's some new type of love" I said and we laughed.

I rubbed my eyes slowly and realized that my head was paining a lot and so I held my head in my hands groaning.

"Here!" Shubman said picking up a glass of lemon water and coming upto me. He handed the glass up me as he sat beside me and I started sipping it.

"How do you know?" I asked and he smiled, "You know what? You look cute when you're drunk!" he said ruffling my hair and that's when I recalled last night. I didn't remembered anything after I and Manjot had those shots!

"Was that a compliment or a taunt?" I asked raising an eyebrow, "Whatever you want to take it as!" he said and I chuckled while hitting his arm.

The next moment Manjot came in our room followed by Nagar and Ayushi! He sat on the couch and made a face.

"Abhi tak utri nhi kya iski" Shubman asked looking at him and Manjot spoke up, "

"Chup saale! Ab ek aur gaana nikla na muh se bhut marunga tujhe!" Nagar shouted at him while Ayushi was laughing.

"Abeyy Iss kutte ne raat bhar gaane gaa gaa ke sona mushkil kar dia!" Nagar said and we all burst out laughing, "I guess isne apna dare jyada seriously le liya" I said laughing and Manjot nodded, "Mai saare kaam shiddat se krta hu!" he said and Shubman hitted his head.

"Ab koi gaana nhi warna hum sb behre jo jaege" Shubman said and he nodded like an innocent kid, "Acha bs vo lemon water dede warna log mujhe nashedi smjhege!" he said snatching my lemon water.

"As if you're not!" Ayushi said making him frown and we all laughed.

Our room's door again flung open and our di's entered, "Good morning guys" Komal di said and we also reciprocated.

"Tum sb yaha ho, ye dulha dulhan kaha hai?" Shahneel di asked and Shubman's expressions changed suddenly as he said, "Shitt!"

"Subha subha toh shitt jaisi baatein mat kr!" Manjot said and the next moment Shubman ran out of the room and we all followed him confused.

He ran upto Abhishek's room and the door was locked from outside which he quickly opened and as we looked inside, Abhay and Chia were sitting there holding their heads in their hands.

"Hawww tum dono lock kyu the?" I asked confused and they just shrugged not knowing the answer.

"Pata nhi par jiska bhi idea tha bada acha tha!" Abhay said as he walked upto us, "Ye idea aur kaam dono iska tha!" Ayushi said pointing at me and I looked at her, "Maii?"

"Yess you babyy" Shubman said and I shrugged as I didn't remembered anything, "Bhai kamre me band hoke Kuch hanky panky toh nhi kiya na!" Manjot whispered to Abhay and he gave a look.

"Hattt beyy" Abhishek hitted his head and snatched the lemon water from his hand, "Waise tera idea great tha!" Abhishek whispered to me and we giggled.

"Yarr tum log apni gossip baad me krna pehle ye idhar lao warna mai apni mehndi me nashedi lagungi!" Chia said snatching the lemon water from Abhay.

"Ayee tu Mandy ke sath rehna kam kr uske jaisi baatein krne lagi hai!" Shubman said hitting Chia's head and Manjot gave them a look.

"Dosto ka kuch toh asar aata hi hai" Nagar said laughing and Manjot gave him another look, "Ye gande gande looks baad me dena abhi sb jake ready ho jao meri mehndi hai" Shriya said pushing everyone out of the room.

All of us girls were in Shriya's room and were getting ready together for the mehndi ceremony!

We were almost ready when our beautiful bride to be came out of the washroom twirling around showing her dress!

"You're looking super hot! Take care of Abhay" I said looking at her and she giggled while blushing.

"Let me capture this moment cuz Chia and blushing is a very rare combination!" Ayushi said laughing clicking Shriya's picture.

"Aye don't tease my to be bhabhi! You're looking gorgeous" Komal di said and Chia smiled, "Thank you and please don't blame me agar apka bhai mujhe dekh ke behosh ho jae toh" Chia said and we laughed.

"By the way Shub also need to be careful!" Aditi said winking at me and I blushed looking down! She just joined us here today as she was busy before! Not before getting a good listening for Chia for not joining us before.

"Haa he's been already acting like a big romeo lately!" Shahneel di said and I chuckled, "Well thank you di, he's my romeo" I said and giggling.

"Btw does anyone of you know where the hell are those idiots?" Sania di asked and all of us looked at each and shrugged.

"Then let me show you!" she said giving us a look and walked out of the room as all of us followed her.

As we walked behind her she came and stopped in front of the swimming pool and all of us looked at the guys with our Jaws dropped open as they were playing in the pool and didn't even noticed us!
God! Why I didn't ever noticed how hot Shubman looked shirtless that too in the pool.

"Helloo boys!" I almost shouted and the four of them turned towards us and we gave them a look.

"Didn't I told you guys to get ready for the mehndi ceremony? Or do  you guys have a bad memory?" Shriya asked folding her arms.

"Areyy yarr hum mehndi me kya krege, humne thodi na mehndi lagwani hai!" Manjot said receiving a smack from Abhay.

"Babyy aisa nhi we were just chilling out hum bs abhi tayyar hoke aate hai" Abhishek said coming out of the pool.

"Abeyy saale abhi toh tu keh raha tha mai waha bore ho jaunga mera koi kaam nhi hai" Shubman said smirking and Abhay glared him.

"Ha keh rha tha ye sb ladkiyo ke kaam hai!" Nagar also joined.

Abhishek looked at them with a puppy eyes look and they all chuckled while Chia was glaring at him, "Correct hai! Ab tum log me se koi bhi mehndi me nhi dikhna chaiye!" Shriya said as all of them came out of the pool.

"Ha you're right! Ab tum log ki entry restricted hai!" I said giving them a cheeky smile.

"Areyy babyy ye log saale mujhe phassa rhe hai, maine aisa kuch nhi kaha" Abhay explained her and she made a face, "Okay you have ten minutes to get ready" Chia said and he smiled.

"Mai 5 min me Aa jaunga, thank you babyy" Abhay said kissing Shriya's cheek and she made a face as he was all wet!

He was going back when he again turned and looked at Chia who raised an eyebrow, "You're looking adorable, I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful bride to be!" he said winking and she blushed while he walked back to his room to get ready.

Shriya's look👇

I looked at Shubman who was smiling widely, I went upto him and clicked my fingers in front of him. I raised an eyebrow as he looked at me coming out of his thoughts.

"Where are you lost? Tumhe tayyar krne koi aur aaega?" I asked him and he smirked while coming closer.

"Actually I was lost in admiring your beauty" he said making me chuckle and blush at the same time, "Seriously you're looking damn beautiful" he said and I smiled.

Arshita's look👇

"Thank you, and please get ready so that mai bhi tumko compliment de saku" I said grinning and he smirked, "Kyuu mai aise acha nhi lgra kya?" he asked pointing at himself shirtless and all wet.

"Not that I'm complaining but you can't come like this warna ladkiyo ka dhyaan mehndi se jyada tumpe hoga!" I said and he chuckled.

"Okay toh mai tayyar hoke aata hu!" He said and was going to hug me but I stopped him, "You'll ruin my dress!" I said and he made a face, "Ab toh aur jaldi ready hoke aaunga" he said and I laughed as he finally ran off to get ready.

All of us girls went to the outing area of the farmhouse which was decorated beautifully for mehndi and the artists were waiting for the bride and all of us!

"Gosh I'm so excited to have Abhay's name in my hand today!" Shriya squeeled happily looking around and I smiled. We came and sat in the middle as the artist started Chia's mehndi.

"Aye tu Abhay ka naam aise likhwana ki vo kal tak dhundhta reh jae" Ayushi said laughing when she received smack from back.

She turned to find Abhay behind her giving a look, "Ha ha taki meri shadi ke baki function ho hi na paye!" he said and we laughed.

"Areyy isko chodo iski baatein hi aisi hai, Pagal si" Manjot said coming there and received a glare from Ayushi, "Jyada bola toh yahi mehndi tere muh pe chaap dungi!" she said and he gave her a disgusted look.

"Mandy chal bhai hum kuch khake aate" Nagar said taking him and Abhay was also going to join them but Chia stopped him, "Babyy tum yahi raho mere pas baitho!" she said.

"Babyy mujhe thodi mehndi lagana seekhna hai!" Abhishek said and I giggled while Chia glared at him and he quietly sat beside him!

I was looking here and there to find my idiot Donald but he was nowhere to be found.

Shubman's Pov

"Are you finding your boyfriend?" I asked Arshu hugging her from back keeping my chin on her shoulder when she was looking here and there trying to find, me I guess!

A grin made its way to her face and she nodded slightly, "But he's late!" she said and turned coming face to face with me.

"Ahh! Actually he was getting ready to impress his girlfriend, so how do think he's looking?" I said smirking and she looked at me.

"Well he's looking damn handsome as always!" she said winking and I chuckled.

"Arshu come and get your mehndi done, romance baad me bhi chalega" Chia said and she giggled while going and sitting beside her and I followed her.

I was sitting beside Arshita who was looking the most beautiful and the happiest girl in the world right now as she kept staring at her hands which were being done, while I was staring at her adorable face having that great feeling of having her with me!

Suddenly Manjot came upto us holding a plate full of snacks while eating them when Abhishek snatched it from him.

"Abeyy saale ye bhuko wali harkate nahi chalegi!" Manjot said making an annoyed face while we were laughing, "Abeyy dekh teri dost hone wali dulhan hai uske liye tu itna nhi kr skta!" Abhay said pointing at Chia who also made a puppy face.

"Teri shadi hai isiliye dera warna I don't share my food!" Manjot said and we laughed while he went to bring another plate for him.

"Shub I'm hungry kuch khilao na please!" Arshu said making a cute face and I nodded when Manjot again came with a plate full of snacks and now I was the one to snatch it!

"Kamine wapas de!" Manjot said making a face and I gave him a cheeky smile, "Bhai teri kuch time me ho jane wali bhabhi is hungry itna nhi krega?" I said and he looked at Arhsu who nodded with 'I'm hungry' look.

He sighed and sat in front of us cross legged saying, "Mai aaj bhuka rahunga!" he said keeping his head in his hands while we were laughing as I made Arshu eat the snacks!

"Ayee overacting Jake aur le ana!" Ayushi said nudging his shoulder and he gave her a look, "Tu laa de meri bhi dost hai tu shayad!" he said.

Ayushi showed her hands which were designed with mehndi by now and said, "Mehndi wale snacks chalenge toh bata!" she said and he gave her another annoyed look.

Nagar hitted his head and passed him the plate of snacks which he was eating, "Bhai rona nhi! Tu ye kha le!" he said.

Manjot smiled widely looking at him as he took the plate and started eating, "Tu hi mera sacha dost hai baki sab toh dagabaaz hai" Mandy said and Nagar shooed his head as no.

"Abeyy senti mat ho vo toh mera pett bharr gaya tha toh gareeb smjh ke daan kr dia" Nagar said making all of us laugh while Manjot frowned.

"Kisi ne sahi hi kaha hai ke harr ek friend chutiya hota hai!" Manjot said and we laughed, "Aur tu sbse bada wala hota hai!" I said and he threw a french-frie at me.
______

All the girls were done with their mehndi by now and we decided to play some games so that we doesn't get bored but before that I and Abhay were stopped by our girls to find our names in their mehndi!

"Yarr I'm the bride pehle ek phot kheecho meri!" Shriya said posing while I looked at her, "Side ho yarr!" I said and she made a face, "Yarr tu kaisa bhai hai?" she said frowning and I laughed, "Acha sorry aaja" I said and she posed while smiling and I clicked her photo.

"Wow I'm great!" I said looking at the pic and she made a face, "I'm great sis liye photo bhi great aai!" she said and I chuckled.

"Oye mai bhi come babyy!" Abhay also joined in posing with Chia as I clicked their pic.

"Chal ab meri aur Arshu ki baari tum dono side ho" I said getting in front taking Arshita's hand.

"Bhai dulha dulhan ki kuch toh izzat rakh" Abhay said and I just gave him a look as he clicked our photo while I held Arshu's face and she widened her eyes.

"Ahh babyy you ruined the photo!" she said whining and I laughed, "Acha sorry ab normal wali!" I said and she nodded while both of us pouted at each other.

"I love this one!" Arshita said looking at the photo happily and I smiled while looking at her, "And I love you!" I said and she giggled.

After this we went and sat with everyone as it was time to find names in mehndi.

Abhishek and Shriya were sitting in the middle while we were waiting for him to find his name in her hands.

Shriya's mehndi 👇

"Abhay mila ki nhi?" Komal di asked him and he sighed still looking at Chia's hands, "Yarr di don't disturb!" he said and kept looking for his name.

"Bhai jaldi kr na, I'm waiting for my turn!" I said budging him and he made a face, "Ha Abhay jaldi kr warna mai dhundh dunga!" Manjot said and everyone looked at him.

"Kyuu beyy tu kyu dhundhega" Nagar asked him hitting his head, "Kyuki hume game bhi khelna hai and aise ye puri raat laga dega" Mandy explained receiving a glare from Abhay who was trying to concentrate!

"Babyy my hands are in the same position from last half an hour and now I'm tired!" Chia said making a face.

"Bhai yaha se baithe baithe mujhe dikh gya jo tujhe paas se nhi dikha" Manjot said when suddenly Abhay shouted, "Mil gya mil gya!" Abhay shouted happily while pointing at the corner of Shriya's hands where his name was written.

"Abeyy mil gya nhi 'koi mil gya' tha movie ka naam" Nagar said and I smacked his head, "Pagal kahi ke vo usko naam mil gya!" I said and Nagar laughed, "Oh sorry!"

"Acha now I'll find my name, give me your hands Arshu" I said taking Arshita's hands in mine.

Arshita's mehndi 👇

"Shub teri kaunsi shadi hai jo tu dhundh rha hai" Ayushi said and Arshu looked at her, "Toh kya hua, I'll always have his name in my hands!" she said and I smiled.

"Hayee so sweet!" I said smiling when Abhay hitted my head, "Khush baad me hona abhi naam dhundh" he said and I nodded.

"Oye Shub mil gya! Shub mil gya!" I shouted looking the middle of her hands where my name was written.

"Areyy yarr why don't you understand, 'koi mil gya' hota hai 'Shub mil gya' nhi!" Manjot said and we all laughed while I punched his arm.

"Chalo now it's time for a game!" Aditi said happily and we all came towards front where a big table was kept in the middle.

"Yaha hum log ke liye khana lagne wala hai kya?" Nagar asked looking at the table, "Nhi idiot yaha hoga humara pani puri competition!" Shahneel di said and everyone's eye's lit up at the name of panipuri specially girls!

"Parr hum log khaege kaise?" Shriya asked showing her hands which were covered in mehndi!

"That's the game, ye game hum partners sath khelenge and the boys will have to make their partners eat the panipuri! Aur jo apni plates sbse pehle khatam krege they'll win!" Sania di said and and everyone nodded.

"Matlab ladke bhuke rhe aur ladkiya khati rhe?" Manjot asked frowning and I gave him a look, "Tu baad me kha liyo bhuke" I said and hitting his head and he nodded, "Okay!"

"Meri partner kaun hai? I don't have a girlfriend?" Nagar asked and looked at everyone, when Aditi raised her hand, "I'll be your partner, even I dont have a boyfriend!" she said and everyone gave them teasing looks while they stood together.

"Matlab mujhe Iss idiot sath krna padega!" Ayushi asked making faces while looking at Manjot, "Kya krna pdega?" Manjot asked giving her a look.

"Game khelna padega idiot" she said glaring him while all of us were in a fits of laughter.

"Okay guys 2-2 pairs sath me compete krenge and pehle aaenge Abhay and Shriya with Nagar and Aditi!" Komal di said and both the pairs stood in front of each other.

"So 1..2..3... Start!" Di announced and Abhay and Nagar started making the girls eat.

"Babyy jaldi jaldi khilao na" Shriya said while eating the panipuri while we were cheering for them.

"Haa bhai bhuki hai ye jaldi khila" Manjot shouted while making us laugh.

Shriya was eating with a good speed while Aditi was taking her time, "Nagar kya krre hi dekhna nhi hai khilana hai" Aditi said giving him a look.

"Areyy ise khana dekh ke kuch ho jata hai" I said laughing while Nagar nodded and made her eat.

"Yayayay! We won!" Chia shouted with her mouth full of panipuri as she ate the last one.

"Wohoo so our bride and groom are the winners" Shahneel di said and they grinned while we everyone hooted.

"Nagar tu haar gya ek photo hi kheech de" Shriya said to him but didn't got a response as he was busy eating panipuri!

"Marr Jaa saale! Mai kheechta hu" I said as both of them posed and I clicked their picture.

"Woww don't we look great together!" Abhay said and Manjot laughed, "Ha ha isiliye shadi kra rhe hai!" he said getting glare from both of them.

"Ab humari baari!" Arshu said happily and I nodded, "Oye side ho jao Saare!" I said coming towards table and while Manjot and Ayushi also came with us.

"Okay ready guys?" Sania di asked and and we shouted together, "Yesss!"

"So start!" she shouted and I started making Arshu eat the panipuri and Manjot did too to Ayushi.

"Abeyy tu kyu kha rha hai?" Ayushi shouted as Manjot himself ate a panipuri while her mouth was full, "Kyuki mera mann krr rha tha!" he said eating another one making everyone laugh.

Arshita started laughing while looking at him and I looked at her, "Babyy hasna baad me abhi khao!" I said and she chuckled looking at me, "OH sorry!" she said and I laughed while making her eat more.

"Yarr kutte mujhe bhi khilade!" Ayushi again shouted while we were down to the last panipuri.

"Yayaya hum jeet gye!" Arshu shouted while a laughed looking at Manjot and Ayushi as Ayushi made a face and kicked Manjot's leg as he was busy eating himself!

"Oww hatt na khane de!" Manjot said with his mouth full!

"Ise mai chodungi nhi tu agli baar partner banne ki Baat bhi mat krna warna kick kahi aur hi marungi!" Ayushi said while we laughed more.

"Yaya I'm so happy!" Arshu said smiling at me and I kissed her forehead, "Always smile like this. It makes you even more beautiful" I said looking at her and she blushed while smiling.

"You're the reason of this smile being back!" she said and I grinned.

"Okay so winning jodi ki ek photo!" Nagar said and clicked our picture while we were busy smiling at each other.

"Woww kya photo kheechi hai maine!" he said showing us the pic which was really a great one. I patted his back and smiled, "Pehli baar zindagi me koi acha kaam kiya hai" I said and we laughed.
