15🐝

🎋You were the moon and I was the star, We would have had a home in the sky, people watch you from afar,

I only had the right to take a closer look🎋

Zoya pov:

What will I wear tonight?

I don't want me to engaged with him like this.

I slowly sat on the floor, curled up into a ball while shedding tears silently.

"Choti"

I slowly raised my head and looked up..

There stood Maa, who was looking at me by standing at the door with a confused look on her face.

"Maa" I whispered.

I quickly stood up from the floor and ran to her by crying and hugging her while mumbling..

"Maa, I don't want to be engaged with him in this way." I mumbled while crying.

Maa: Why Choti? What happened? And, why are you crying? First stop crying.

I nodded my head, stopped crying while wiping my tears with my hands.

"Vo..Maa...I don't have a new dress to wear" I murmured softly.

"Who said that you don't have a new dress to wear"

Came my Phuphi voice. I don't know that, she too came along with Maa. I wiggled from Maa arms and glanced at my phuphi with teary eyes.

My phuphi was frowning at me while holding a big plate which was covered with a red cloth.

I looked puzzled at her because yesterday Maa said that they forgot to buy a dress for me then..

She walked towards me and made me sit on the bed and said..

Phuphi: I had brought a dress for you, Zoya. Remove the red cloth, you can see it.

Not believing my ears, I slowly removed the cloth and looked at the plate, In a flash, my face was beaming with happiness.

Hoyee!!

It was a uniquely embellished sliver designer lehenga and it's every aspect was alluring me.

I touched the lehenga by grinning like a fool at my phuphi.

"Phuphi, you bought this lehenga for me?" I asked her while smiling widely.

Phuphi: No, Zoya.

"Then?" I asked her with a perplexed expression.

Phuphi looked at Maa and was gesturing something with her eyes. I looked at both of them with a confused look.

Maa: Choti, Before your mom last breath, she wanted to design a lehenga for you with her own hands for your engagement & wedding when you will be going to marry.

She resumed and Phuphi continued..

Phuphi (sadly): So, she started designing the lehenga beforehand for you, but she left in the middle without completing it because unfortunately she met with an accident along with your dad and died.

Maa(smiling sadly): We all know that she was designing a dress for you, but we never glanced at the dress except Abhi.

Phuphi: He wanted to fulfill your mother last wish. So, he completed the other half designing with his own hands, Zoya.

I was stunned by hearing their words. How should I react to it.

Maa: He informed us, that not to buy a dress for you because he wanted to give you this lehenga as a surprise.

I was speechless. I don't have words to describe.

I was smiling while hot tears were brimming in my eyes as a symbol of happy tears.

My mom & Abhi had designed this lehenga with their own hands for me.

Anjali Aunty(scowling): Stop crying choti.

I peered at the door, there all my family members were coming inside my room while gazing at me except my Abhi.

Where was he?

I was searching for him, when..

Phupha: My little princess is not crying. They are happy tears. Am I right, choti?

I nodded my head with a smile at him.

Uncle: By the way, Choti, stop searching for him because as usual he was busy on his phone.

"Vo..I-I am not searching for him, uncle" I mumbled shyly while looking here & there.

Hani: Ha..Ha..that we can see with our own eyes that how much restless you are to get a glimpse of him.

"Y-you.."I was saying when I saw Abhi leaning on the door frame while folding his hands near his chest, staring at me intensely like a king and I instantly stopped in the middle.

When did he has come?

Hani(smirking): what!!..you..you..huu complete the full sentence cutiee.

She is saying intentionally. Stupid friend. I cursed her mentally and glanced at Abhi he was still gazing into my eyes.

What's that captivating in my black, boring eyes?

I was pondering, but came out of my thoughts, when I heard Papa voice.

Papa: Choti, atleast now wipe your tears and go & get ready. There is only one hour left for you to get ready.

Oh...my....idiot zoya...my Abhi was looking at my tears.

Oh shit, I forgot that he doesn't like it when I cry. That's the reason why he was intently looking at my eyes.

I mentally smacked my forehead and quickly wiped my tears, looked at him, but I didn't find him.

Where did he gone?

Don't know when did he appeared and disappeared suddenly.

Is he a Spiderman or what.

Huff!

I nodded my head at papa and they all left from there except Veer Bhai, Kunal Bhai, Aunty, Misti Bhabhi, Maa & Phuphi.

Kunal Bhai: Still you are angry on your Abhi?

"Yes"I said.

Misti Bhabhi: Why Choti, he gave you a stunning sliver studded Lehenga and still you were angry at him.

" But, he objected me to send to the parlor with Hani" I replied by pointing out his fault.

Veer bhai: Choti, you know very well about Abhi more than us, Yes or no?

"Hmm" I hummed at bhai.

Veer bhai: Then, how can you forgot that my best friend aka your Abhi doesn't like you to use cosmetics on your face.

Hoyee!! Hey baghwan! How can I forget.

Maa: That's the reason why he didn't send you to the parlor with Hani.

"Vo..I forgot" I smiled sheepishly at him.

Veer bhai: It's ok choti. Even though he doesn't like it then also your Abhi brought the whole parlor at your feet.

He said and pointed at the entrance of the door and there stood a woman along with six to seven girls.

Phuphi: She is the world's best beautician & their assistants.

Hoyee!! Who needs those many assistants.

I parted my lips in an "O" shape by gaping at them.

Anjali aunty came to my side and was trying to close my mouth by using her hand under my chin while hiding her smile.

I pushed her hand and closed my lips by glaring at her.

Phuphi: By the way, here is your jewelry box which Abhi has given me to give you.

She pointed at the box which was lying on the plate peacefully along with the lehenga which I didn't see that before.

Why doesn't he give me directly?

Iceberg!

If he would give me directly, then I would feel so much happy.

Huff!! but..No.

I said an "ok"to her.

Maa: Choti, we all will leave now except Misti. She will stay with you and the beautician will make you get ready, okay.

I nodded my head and everyone left.

After one hour:

Everyone left my room after making me ready. None were there in my room except me.

Maa came to my room. I was adjusting the dazzling silver bangles on my hand and a diamond necklace on my neck. I was absolutely ready, maa got very emotional to see me like this.

(above zoya lehenga & bangles)

(above zoya's diamond necklace)

Maa: Choti, you are looking beautiful just like an angel.

Maa eyes were shining with love for me. I smiled at her.

The door opened and Papa & Veer Bhai came inside. They both said that I was looking like a queen.

Papa hugged me while caressing my hair meanwhile Bhai & Mom too came and side hugged us.

Someone came & called Papa & Maa and said something. They hurriedly moved out.

Bhai inched to me by looking at me lovingly.

Veer Bhai: Choti, I think you are happy now.

I beamed at him like a crazy girl in return he smiled at me.

Veer Bhai(Cupping her face): Always keep smiling like this choti.

I giggled while tugging his arm by leaning onto his arm.

Veer Bhai: Your one smile makes everyone's heart in peace, choti.

I looked at him smiling widely, at the same time someone knocked on the door.

It was my aunty. She came near me and hugged me.

Aunty: Oh my god! You are looking so pretty. Your Abhi is going to have a heart attack. And veer, you are looking handsome too. Our Hani can't even take her eyes off from you.

We both smiled at her..

"You are also looking so beautiful aunty. Uncle is going to be looking just at you" I said naughtily.

She started blushing like a teenager.

Aunty(Giggling): Shut up choti!

I laughed at my aunty who was looking so red like a rose.

Aunty(Further added): Veer, Kunal is calling you.

Bhai went out and I glanced at aunt.

She took the kajal from her lower eyelid with her finger and made it as a dot, brought it to near my back side of the ear and put it while saying "kisiki nazar na lage meri choti ko".

She might fight with me like a teenager, but never fails to give me a mother's love. May be my mom died but I got my mother's love in the form of Maa, phuphi & Aunty. They never failed to give me a mother's love. I smiled, thinking about these wonderful people in my life.

Flash..

Flash..

"Now you both are looking like a mother & daughter" Misti bhabhi commented while clicking the pictures of Aunty & me.

We both laughed at her.

Bhabhi: Come, let's go. Your Abhi is waiting for you at the venue.

I smiled shyly while looking down and they both were giggling like a teenager's at me.

Wait...Wait..what venue!

"Bhabhi, what venue? Papa is organizing the engagement ceremony at home na then why were you saying that he is waiting at the venue" I queried her.

Bhabi: No choti, it's not at home.

"Bhabhi I told you all that I don't want a big one."I said annoyingly.

Aunty: Choti, we know that you wanted a simple one.

"Then why venue?" I asked her while narrowing my eyes at her.

Bhabhi: Choti, we didn't invite everyone. Your papa only invited closed one's. There will be a few people only, but no matter how much big the house is, it always feels small when a function takes place.

Aunty: So, we all planned the engagement outside.

Anjali Aunty said excitedly and further added.

Aunty: Come, let's go. Your best friend has already reached the venue.

She said while dragging me like a buffalo. Finally, we three members hop into the car...🚗..............🚗.........

As we reached closer and closer to the venue my eyes grew big and big. So this is why they both got excited. I got out of the car and took a closer view of the view.

My jaw dropped when I took a glimpse of the venue.

This was the same theme which I have always dreamt to be engaged like this.

I mean I wanted the view to be relaxing and the guest's who came to my engagement should say the sentence "wow.. it's so beautiful!".

And that's what happening there, because I can see look on our guests faces, they are giving when they looked at the venue. Oh my god!! You people know what?

The venue is a Beach.

Hoyee!! I love beaches.

I mean there was a beach right next to the garden where my engagement was going on.

The garden was blooming with mix of fresh flowers. In the middle of the garden there were two small dais, which were placed opposite to the beach.

One was decorated like a fairy tale which was Hani's dream and the other was decorated with full of roses and that's my dream.

There were fresh flowers in the vases which was placed on my tables surrounded by chairs which made more attractive & relaxing.

Hoyee!! This is all happening today.

I was shocked as well as surprised. How did my family know about my little fantasy.

Bhabhi(smiling): How is the surprise?

"Wow!!! Bhabhi, it's breathtaking!!!!This is how I dreamt about my engagement" I exclaimed loudly while grinning ear to ear at her with full of happiness.

Aunty: Okay! Okay! Let's go. Look at your Abhi, he is waiting for you there.

I glanced at the dais, As soon as my eyes landed on him, My breath hitched when I looked at him. He was looking like a king. I was staring at him publicly when he caught me red handed.

Again!!!

Oh my!! Why he had to caught me today also.

Aunty(glaring): This girl not even moving from her place and stood like a statue. Oye!!Maharaniji(Queen) lets go.

My Chudile Aunt doesn't have patience at all. Can't she wait till I admire my Abhi.

Huff!!

I nodded my head and started trudging on the red carpet. While I am walking rose petals were falling on me like a rainfall from no where.

That feeling is amazing.

I glanced at Aunty, she was smiling while looking at me.

Aunty: It was all planned by your Abhi, Choti.

Hayee! This all was done my Abhi.

But, How did he know about my little fantasy.

I was thinking while walking beside Aunty by looking down at the ground.

Leave it Zoya, Don't waste your time on thinking about it.

Just think about your devil who was waiting for you on the stage.

I blushed at the thought of my Abhi.

I went up the dais, stood by him where as my heart was racing like a horse because his gaze was lingering on me.

He bent a bit towards me and whispered..

Abhi(coldly): why did you put on that much make up on your face?

Huh!!!

I thought he would say that I am looking beautiful, but no.

He asked me about my makeup.Who will ask like that? I grimaced at him.

Urghh!!

My devil is the only person who asks about those things with out praising his fiancee.

He don't even know how to praise me. I have to teach him.

You know what, I told that pig faced beautician & Bhabhi to apply only a little amount of makeup, but they didn't listen to me and applied more makeup.

Am I looking like an ugly duckling for him?

But Maa, Aunty, Bhabhi, Veer Bhai, told me that I was looking pretty.

Abhi: Oyee sweetheart!! I asked you something.

I came out of little thoughts and looked up at him. He was towering me with his 6 feet.

"Abhi, I told her to apply a little amount of makeup on my face, but I don't know what she did" I said while looking at my sideways..

Abhi(fury): What do you mean by what she did...huu...when she was applying, where were your eyes..ha.. ha.

"Vo...my eyes are on my face" I replied smartly.

Abhi: Jyada smart mat bano!

(Don't be too smart)

Kunal Bhai: All are here for your engagement ceremony where as you both are busy in romancing. Just pay attention to the audience. You both have a whole life to talk with each other. Please exchange the rings first.

Everyone started laughing at us. I shyly looked down, Bhabhi was carrying a beautiful plate decorated with rose petals and the rings were kept on them.

He picked the ring and I forwarded my hand towards him. He kept my hand on his other hand. His hands were very hot. He caught my hand in his hot hand one, then slid the ring in my ring finger.

Yayyy...Now...It's my turn.

I took the ring and slid it in his finger in the same way.

Yayy!!!! Now I am officially his.

After that Bhai and Hani also exchanged their rings.

Everyone was clapping & cheering for us.

After few minutes...

Maa brought a cake on a tray and arranged a small table on the stage. She placed the cake on the table.

In the same way Phuphi placed the cake for Bhai & Hani.

I looked at both of them. Unlike us, Bhai & Hani have a wonderful relationship. Bhai was saying something to Hani where as she was blushing like a tomato. I smiled at them.

Maa: Abhi! Choti! cut the cake.

Maa said while pointing towards the cake.

We both stood beside each other. As I held the knife in my hand, he placed his hot hand on my cold hand making my heart go wild.

We cut the cake, then he took a small piece of cake and fed me with his hands while making me shiver by touching my lips with his fingers.

Next, I took the very small piece of  cake and extended my hand near his mouth to feed him but..

You know what he did, he didn't open his mouth and busy in glaring at me.

Way to embarrass me in front of everyone.

I don't know how to cover this situation. I pinched my lips nervously while cursing him.

I think some demon has possessed him.
