MEHNDI AND SANGEET-18♡

The evening was slowly giving way to darkness, as the preparations for the sangeet function were in full swing. Both the bride and groom side were competing with each other to put on the best show possible. The groom's side had hired a famous choreographer, while the bride's side had their own team of professional dancers.

There were playful taunts and teasing between the two sides, as they tried to outdo each other with their dance routines. "Hum jeetenge toh rote mat rehna," quipped one of the groom's cousins, as they practiced their moves. The bride's side responded with equal enthusiasm, determined to put up a spectacular performance that would leave everyone in awe.

SRISHTI POV

I said, "Sneha, bas kar kitna khaayegi?" as I took the plate of noodles with pickles from her hand. Okay, she's pregnant and food cravings are a normal thing, but this is going to be too weird as she's eating a mixture of flavors that I can't even identify.

"Saru, just one bite please," she said to me while making a puppy face, but I ignored her and replied, "Jiju aane hi wale honge tumhari toh sikhayat lgani padegi." As I said that, Sneha's phone rang, "Lagta hai aa gaya tera jiju," she said in an irritated tone. "Ab toh tera fast food gaya," I teased her. "Kha gaya?" she asked.

"Bass abhi gaya. Yahaan se meri aankhon ke saamne se khidki se koodh gaya," I said in a fake angry tone, which made us both laugh. After that, she picked up her phone and Sahil told her that he just landed and will be home in 1 hour. Sneha then started packing her fast food to store them in a safe place, which made me laugh.

"Hasle bachi, jab tera saath hoga na pata chal jayega," she said and then looked at me. "Pata hai na kya hoga? Kal toh shadi hi hai," she said with a teasing smile on her face as she gave me a wink. In response, I just threw my pillow towards her.

I still had the mehndi on my hands, which had fully dried, as Sneha had already put the solution on it. After struggling for some time, I finally removed the dried mehndi from my hands and feet, and then washed them with water. It had a pretty good color, actually, too dark, which looked very pretty.

As I was admiring my mehndi, someone held my shoulder, and I turned my body to see who it was. It was Isha. She looked at my mehndi for a few seconds and then smiled before saying, "Areeh wahh, lagta hai Aahan bahut care karega-" "Not care, love," Sneha corrected her while looking at her phone...

"Haan vahi same," Isha said, before giving me a cheeky smile as I smiled back.

"Toh my soldiers, kya plan hai aaj raat ka competition ke liye?" I said, referring to both of them as my soldiers.

"Ji commander, plan toh aise hai ki hum hi jeetega kyunki team hi itni solid hai hamari," Sneha said with a smirk, and Isha laughed. "Yes commander," Isha said, while mimicking Sneha, which made me laugh.

"Toh soldiers, mission par lag jao," I said, while pointing my fist in the air, and they both nodded in response.

AUTHOR POV

The sky was like a canvas painted with an exquisite shade of dark blue, illuminated by the shimmering stars scattered across it. The twinkling stars were like precious jewels that adorned the vast sky, creating a breathtaking view.

The air was filled with music and laughter as the arrangement of the sangeet function was nothing less than mesmerizing. The stage was decorated with colorful flowers and shimmering lights, adding a magical touch to the ambiance. The soft glow of candles added to the charm of the setting, as they flickered in the gentle breeze.

The dance floor was decorated with intricate patterns of rangoli, with vibrant colors that were mesmerizing to the eye. The aroma of the delicious food being served at the function filled the air, making everyone's taste buds tingle with anticipation.

People were dressed in traditional attire, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The women looked stunning in their colorful lehengas and sarees, adorned with exquisite jewelry. The men looked dashing in their formal attire, adding a touch of elegance to the event.

and there in a room aahan was in deep thoughts and the reason was what to where because he have lots of choice as he was still thinking his brother enters the room

"chal aah-  oye tu ready nahi hua abhi tak shadi teri hi hai or sangeet bhi chal jldi " as he was saying  aahan lookes at him with confusion in his eyes aditya asked "kya hua?" in respons aahan said "kya pehnu" he asked this thing too innocently which made aaditya laugh he was laughing so hard that now his stomach starts to hurt " aahan tu or kpdo par confuse tu jis se company me sbb drte hai" he said this thing between his laugh but then his laugh dies as aahan look at him in anger expression

"samne darwaja hai " aahan said only this thing but aditya understood that he was saying'get out from here' after sometime aditya cough and said "aahan there is bachelor party today after sangeet " aahan just nodded absent mindly as aditya continued " or rhi  bat ki kya pehnana hai tumhe wait a min phone dena apna" aditya said and tried to snatch aahan phone from his hand after some minutes aahan did protest but aditya didnt return him his phone after unlocking his phone as the password was adhi's birthday suprisingly aditya starts to find something on his phone and then tease him " oh ho mrs" at this point of time aahan already knew what is going on in aditya head he tried to stop him but aditya had already called srishti as ring was going which was making aahan heart beat rise the call pickup .

srishti voice came "hello" and before she can ask anything lse aditya directly "bhabhi apki dress ka colour kya hai" srishti get awkward to know that was not aahan voice

she said " blue " after that aditya thnks her and before any other question cut the call which made srishti confuse what just happens

after that aditya give blue kurta to aahan with cheeky smile and walked towards the door as nothing happen as aahan was still staring at him with the look of muder in his eyes but after sometime he take that shirt and goes to change

at other side sahil had arrived and sneha was throwing tantrum towards him that she wants to dance and sahil clearly said that she cant dance . "baby no you cant dance and thats final think about our child " he said while cessing her face as she just nodded because of there child line

srishti was just looking at them with a small smile they were really cute they do fights but at last they knew about there home and they both are each other home. srishti just shake her head and moves toward wardrobe to get her dress it is almost 6 and they have to be there till 7pm she needs to do hurry

AT FUNCTION

as they all where standing and looking here and there to look for arrangment which was not doubt very beautiful as aahan was standing there waiting for his mrs. a low cough was heard from his back as he turn .there was no one again the cough was head with a cute voice "cahchu hum yaha hai niche dekho " that voice was none other than adhi he was standing there with someone as aahan and other person look at the person they again look at adhi with confusion in there eyes as adhi undestand he said

"kya meri companion hai apne hi toh bola hai couple dance ka liya partner chaiya .. vesa hmne bhut dundha lekin last me hme yahi mili " he said while holding his companion hand

and that was none other than devika means devu she was looking at all of them with her innocent big doe eyes and she said innocently "partner but tumne toh kaha tha tum icecream donge" icecream because devika mother had strictly told her to not eat icecream as it is still cold weather and aditya had taken advantage of that thing

when aahan listen to all this thing firstly he was shocked because they both adhi and devu were almost enemy for each other but when he heard devika statement he burst in a fit of laughter and said to aditya who was still shocked from his son attics "bhai now i am sure tera hi beta hai "he said and again starts to laugh as aahan father also join aahan who was also standing there and listeing to his grandson techniques

after sometime officialy the function starts and srishti came and sit with aahan who was looking at her as she was looking so pretty."gorgeous" he said in a low tone absentmindly ."did you said something"srishti asked as that word was inaudible for her in reply aahan just looked at her lips then in her eyes with a small smile he kissed her forehead. "you are looking so pretty jaan" he said and that kiss and jaan word was enough to make srishti red aahan just chuckle while holding her hand as the function starts

SRISHTI POV

as i was sitting here with aahan as he was holding my hand a warm feeling made its way towards my heart as the dance begins with my cousins . they were doing there job too perfectly while looking at them with a smile i moved my head towards aahan and giving him a smirk but in return he smirks back and i made a irriated face in rturn he just laugh

after having some performce from both side and no doubt all were too good toh 'brarbar ki takkar' after some more performace it was the time fo our couple dance . sneha had already told me about this but at that time i take that thing too lightly but now i am freaking nervous as aahan notice my nervousness he bend his head towards my ear and said " jaan , dont be afraid sbb ghr ka hi hai yaha toh koi kuch nahi hoga " he said and bite my ear lobe as i look at him in shocked expression "jaan addat daal lo abb " he said while winking and make me stand and leads me towards stage and the lights off

as i was trying to see someone hold my waist and a whisper was heard towards my ear"i got you mrs." he said and take my hand  and hold it like locking my hands in his after some second he put my hand on his shoulder and lights dimmed now i can see his face he was looking in my eyes with a smile "jaan muh toh bnd kar lo" he said and i realised my moth was opened from so much of things which was going on and i close my mouth before chewing my lips as that thing was so awkward for me but i compose myself

i look towards aahan who was still looking at my lips as i was watching him a soft melody enter my ears and i smile thats my favorite song as aahan notice my smile he also starts to smile this man is going to death of me.. ufff

Sun mere humsafar

Kya tujhe itni si bhi khabar

Ki teri saansein chalti jidhar

Rahunga bas wahin umrr bhar

Rahunga bas wahin umrr bhar, haaye

Jitni haseen ye mulakatein hain

Unse bhi pyari teri baatein hain

Baaton mein teri jo kho jaate hain

Aaun na hosh mein main kabhi

Baahon mein hai teri zindagi, haaye

Sun mere humsafar

Kya tujhe itni si bhi khabar

Main toh yun khada Kis soch mein pada tha

Kaise jee raha tha main deewana

Chhup ke se aake tune

Dil mein samaa ke tune

Chhed diya kaisa ye fasaana

O... muskurana bhi tujhi se seekha hai

Dil lagane ka tu hi tareeka hai

Aitbaar bhi tujhi se hota hai

Aaun na hosh mein main kabhi

Baahon mein hai teri zindagi, haaye!

Hai nahi tha pata

Ke tujhe maan lunga Khuda

Ki teri galiyon mein iss qadar

Aaunga ab har pehar...

Sun mere humsafar

Kya tujhe itni si bhi khabar

Ki teri saansein chalti jidhar

Rahunga bas wahin umrr bhar

Rahunga bas wahin umrr bhar, haaye

Zaalima tere ishq 'ch main...
