CHAPTER-9

KETU

I got up as Nadan woke me up to speak with his professor by 10 ..... As he can't attend hospital for at least for another 2 weeks, because of my marriage and he wants leave.... Because his professor always gave him leave without torturing Nadan.. if I ask him to....Not even when his parents ask... I asked him why u only believe me and give him leave....his professor said me... That Nadan only respects me... And he never respected anyone else even his parents.... So he never uses his loveable little sister to any lie .... So I believe .... I don't really understand his thoughts .... Anyway Nadan wants leave to do something better than work in his life...... So I called his professor and asked him leave .... And also invited him to my marriage and told him ... I ask Nadan to send him the venue...

I went down after getting refreshed.... To see everyone at the table... Having their breakfast.... And I went and sat with them and had breakfast with them....

Uncle-" sesh have you done what I asked you to do?"

Sesh-" made..."

Uncle-" so... Ok... I will meet you guys later.... Take care of my daughter in law.... Guys"

They all shouted will do and ... No need to worry and send him.... And he said bye and left...

Dad-" ok ... Me and your mom are going to home ... To take care of something.... You guys have nice day ... And come to our house... All of you take care of each other okay?" And he left...

Mom-" bye.... Take care girls...."

Me-" mom... What can dress can I put today.... ?"

Mom-"u see the appoinments that they spoke are about for your make-up and dress.... "

Me-" but I can't select my dress.... You always have selected for me right...."

Mom-" u have all the guys with you..... Don't worry .... They will help you.......... I have works to do....... As this is sudden.... Sorry.."

Me-"fine...bye mom"

And after eating ... By 11:00 we all started to go out to buy my dress first... In sesh and nadan car.... Me, varun, Preeti, sesh in sesh car and others in Nadan car .... They following us... Sesh is taking us to some designer.... And we reached the shop..... The shop looked extravagant... And we looked too casual than her and the dresses in that shop....

As soon as she saw .... Sesh she waved her hand ... And both started taking something... And she looked at me and smiled formally and I done the same and she and sesh reached us....

Sesh-" guys this is sumathi aunty and aunty this is ketu...,Preeti, bhanu, varun, Nadan, Gokul."

Sumathi - " hi.... My name is sumathi...... And I am the designer of his mother... It's nice to meet you guys.... "

We all said her it's also nice to meet her ....

Sumathi-" come on girls we don't have time.... I need to pick dresses for you three and that too... A gorgeous one for the gorgeous bride"

I blushed on hearing saying me gorgeous and we all laughed at that.... Preeti and bhanu... Said no.. To the dresses...that they are going to wear their engagement dress... But sesh said no... That he wants all his sisters to buy a new dress and it's his dad's gift... And sumathi aunty send us people to get our sizes... And as it's too urgent.... They picked a dress from stitched dress... And she said she will send them in two hours after she alter it ..... And that she will design the dresses for other functions....

About my dress.... They didn't made me to see..... They said it's surprise..... That I can only see it during the time ... I can wear.... And I didn't made such a buss.... Cause I love surprises and I anyhow will make them select a dress for me... As I weak in selecting...

And we spent to have our lunch in a hotel... As we were hungry.... And varun, Gokul, Nadan.. Went to guys designer shop with yash... To buy them the dress... Yash had his dress... But his got some problem with the dress so he went with them... And sesh has his dress ... So he didn't went... But the more important reason is he don't want to leave us alone in the place we are going....I don't know why.....

We entered the parlour..... When we entered they saw us like we are not allowed to come here.... And sesh came by our side.... And took us with him.... And as we entered the reception... The receptionist looked surprised to see sesh.... But looked at us like we were scumbags ..... She looked cute... And all... But this is too much... She is sighting my brother... And seeing us like insects.... Oh god having handsome brothers is a torture......

Someone came to our view.... She looked aged.. Same age as sumathi aunty.. Sesh spoke with her...

Sesh-" girls... This is neha aunty... She is ur stylist today ... Aunty this is ketu, Preeti, bhanu.... I want you to make them look beautiful... It doesn't matter how much it cost... I want my sisters shine ..... U have seen the dresses, make them look good in their dresses aunty..."

Preeti-" nice to meet you mam... I want us all to shine.... But I want my sister ketu over here to shine like an angel... Today... More than us..."

Neha-" it will be taken care... What's the occasion..?"

Bhanu-" ketu ... Over here is getting engaged today....?"

Neha-" congrats... Ketu.... What's your fiancé?"

Me-" thanks..." What is the work of yash... heard he is an business man .... But what business he doing ..... I don't know anything...

Me-" thanks..."

Neha-" come girls.... Let me do my magic to make the beauties to gorgeous......... Sesh you wait here ... If there is any problem I will call you... Okay?... I don't need a bargainer now...do we... The time is less decide...?"

That made sesh to sigh and sit in the sofa.... And we followed her inside... She made peoples under her to attend us first... And they gave us... Massage...and then neha asked us to take bath.... And she send me to a different bathroom which had bathtub... Filled with rose petals and..... She said me ... She specially put some herbs... And petals in the tub.... Which they don't actually do to anyone.... Since I am getting engaged to her friends son.... And she liked me... She done that... As that's how a girl get ready in their tradition....So.. Said me to behave to her expectation.....and I said thanks.. And will try my best...

They are waxing to my hands and legs... Which is the first time for me .... I have never done this ... Before because of the fear of pain... I shouted and cried like a school girl that fell down the stairs... And then sesh, Preeti, bhanu came towards me in no time... And now comforting me...

Preeti- " ketu... Pain will be subsiding in a few minutes... Don't cry... "

Bhanu-" ketu... Don't cry .... It's over now..... Do we want a pig eyes on your day of engagement...say?"

Me-" no.... But it pains like hell.. Bhanu.." And neha started laughing seeing at us ... More at me.." Why are you laughing neha aunty?"

Neha-" thought what will you do when we do threading in the eyebrows... Child..."

And that made me throw more tantrum to not do that to me.... And started crying aGain that still the waxing is hurting me and I don't want threading and my eyebrows are looking good?"

Sesh-" right.... Stop crying... I will buy you... Cafe frappe with ice cream...deal...?" I nodded

And he made a Order..." Will come to you in 15 minutes... But to have that you have get you eye brows done.... Now?"

Me-" sesh... But that will pain like hell... Just now the my hands and legs are getting light better... And I don't want my brows to get pain too.... Please... "

Sesh-" no... If you want cold cafe.... You have to get threading done ... Or I will have it?"

Me-" fine.... Do it neha..."

Neha-" try not to move ...if it pains.... Or you will look awful in your own engagement...." I nodded..

And she started doing me my eyebrows... And I was crying silently all the way.... And sesh saying me not to cry it will be over in a few minutes.... As soon as they finished.... I opened to see sesh holding the cafe in the hand... I scratched it from him ... And started drinking it....

Sesh" ketu...thanks.." Said dribbling sarcasm...

Ketu-" why... As you made me go through the hell of pain?"

Sesh- "sorry... But now your eyebrows look good even more...."

Ketu-" whatever... Thanks"

And he left the room. They had put some pack in our faces and doing our hairs... Some styles.... Neha aunty asked me .... What to do for the hair ..... I said her ... Anything that look better to me with the my hair.... But I want the same lenght of hair ... And don't want her to cut it.. And don't want her to change my colour of the hair.... And she is doing something to me....and I slept like I did when they done massage....

neha woke me saying that she has finished her work... And said me to go out... And I asked her to show my face and hair ... But she said .... That she can't show me before finishing fully.... Then I said without knowing I look decent I won't go out.... So she said me okay and asked me to wait and went out.... My sisters came out of a room and they looked stunning... In their dresses

Preeti and bhanu were both wearing dress with same design .....

Preeti is wearing a bronze lehenga with heavy worked border and which is paired up with golden beige designer blouse and a brown dupatta..... While bhanu is wearing a same type of lehenga with golden beige color... And blouse with bronze color ... And same dupatta...

Preeti has straightened her hair and gave a Step cut and left it to float..... While bhanu has curled her hair and left it to float...... Their make up is not too much... It looked as natural beauty.... But they had this effect I am the beauty princess...

Me-" looking beautiful sisters... "

And they thanked me..... And that's when neha entered the room following her... Uncle ram and sesh came in...

Uncle ram-" hi.. Girls.... U too looking beautiful" said looking at them

Sesh-" looking stunning.... " said looking at them... And they said their thanks to them and neha...

Uncle-" now go get changed... Me and sesh will wait out... Get ready soon.... Only an hour more..." He said and went out...

And I took the dress and went in the dressing room and changed to the dress that they gave

Me..... Which looked lovely... The blouse is silver colour and is designed heavily.... With red rectangular neck .........Paired with lehenga where the upper part is silver and the lower part is red and is heavily designed ..... With red dupatta with designed border ..... It fitted well.......Asked help from helper to zip my blouse and tie the knot as I can't and came out...

And met only neha and she... Done my make up.... And I slept again ..... See it's not my mistake... Yesterday night I didn't slept well .... Lack of sleep makes me sleep whenever ... I get chance...

Neha-" wake up ketu...." And nudged me... And I done as she said me... And asked me to stand and adjusted my dupatta and my dress and she put some jewels on me... And gave me ... Sandals to wear... And after here and there of touch ups....

She went out and after few minutes came inside with Preeti and bhanu...

Me- "how do I look?"

And they just looked at me.... And didn't reply me ..... Do I don't look great... And neha opened the mirror in front of me to see me... And I stood still like them.....

I looked different and beautiful.... Lady....

Preeti-" I lost my words.... I think what will yash say when he sees you... ?"

Bhanu-" his breathing will stop for a second.... And his heart may skip a beat too...."I blushed

Neha-" don't know... You are best of best master piece of my magic... But many have tried to make him do that... And some of them were my customer too.... If he skips his beat... please say me... That the best gift ... you can give me for this work..."

Neha-" s....... I am coming with my family... There is still an hour there... It only 5.40 p.m now... By 7. 00 only the function starts... Will meet you guys there.... Bye..." And she left...

Heard sesh just left to get ready.... And uncle went to get ready too.... And wanted to get some thing to take care in the venue..... And we went to a kalyana ghanapathy temple which was on the way..... The driver and another man cleared the path and took us to the temple and we went in... Sesh left his car to us to use...

The iyer made Pooja and showed us the arthi and I prayed to god...please be with me and guide me in every step..... And make everyone happy and healthy...

And we went to the venue......
