SHREYAS POV

OH GOD what’s happening to my life I am marrying a man I never met in my life and I have only seen him once that too during our engagement and now here I am in my own haldi function when I was babbling myself I got a call and seeing it I immediately picked it up.

"Hello , yeah tell me"

" Mam ,We have arranged the meeting" i got reply from other side

"OK! Tell them that I will be with him in a video conference at impossible hours so no one can get a clue Rahul!"

"Sure mam "

" Send me the Nerve-Cord.so, that no one can understand that I am in call you are really dumbass rahul! That you forgot it’s my marriage and people will always be around" I said in my professional arrogant n ruthless tone.

" Sorry mam I will send it immediately “he replied with a shiver

and I saw my cousins coming so, I hung up my call and as usual that number will never be seen in call list and that is my invention's specialty and told to myself with a smirk on my face.

Now, all my cousins came as haldi was in evening and let me introduce all my cousins first entered srinath with his wife saritha he was my cross cousin he had married before three years he is one of my best bro we share a great bond and there entered their one year old son raghav. Srinath came to me and stated.

"Tell me riya......(my cousins call me riya) who are you speaking so ... Intensely with on your phone......" He winked at me before I can reply my sister in-law said

"Who else with jiju" great now they think that I am speaking a man I have never known JUST GREAT f*****

"Hey love birds don't over think I was speaking with one of my friend" I said smiling

"Oh ok princess so how is you going to be husband, won't you show him to me ,I want to give him some threats"

" hey sri....(nick name of srinath ) " came a voice and I know who it is

" sri and saritha babhi mom is calling you both to have some important talk so will you please go.. It’s OK I will take care of raghav" she said taking raghav from saritha she is always my savior my little sister

"Thanks sis"

" Don't thank me the tycoon is on its way you know I can't stop it Riya" and I know who she is stating about the one and only bff gang my parallel cousins THARUN, SANTOSH, PAVAN and NAKUL the bachelor's gang and I know it’s easy to manage sri.. As he is responsible and married and fear my mom as she is the eldest of elders in our family but these bff gang has many charms that they even make my mom blush

"Riya beta get ready your haldi is gone start now please get ready" my mom got me out of my trance.

" yeah mom "

" and let me introduce you to your stylist Miss.Shikha Riazad sent by your mother in law"

What Shikha Raizad great she is the famous designer of the times and only designed for eligible woman's or brides and then she came into my room

"YOU maybe shreya Sharma am I right??"

" yes " I replied

" oh! Dear you look stunning let me make you more beautiful and blissful"

"OK " I just nodded

She snapped her fingers two girls with a box got in n put it on the bed and went off closing the door behind

" take a good bath with this body bath lotion it helps to remove wrinkles and its good that you have waxed your skin"

" thanks OK I will do it"

" but before that let me apply a cleansing oil on your skin so, that you will have a relaxed bath"

I nodded OK and she started massaging oil on my skin.

" and dear please call me shikha cause I am going to be your maternal cousin"

"Really ??"

" yes I was daughter of one of body guards of your father in law when he died in car accident my father n mother who were with him also died and your mother in law was so kind that she grew me .Rashi ma educated me not only me she adopted many others you have a full gang of pretty cousins right"

"Great to have a big family"

"YOU are lucky to have adityaa believe me dear you will be the luckiest girl" and automatically i blushed without my conscious ness Great now riya... your becoming a modest girl spoke my subconscious in a loud voice

"So what’s your dream dress for your sangeet" she asked GREAT I NEVER THOUGHT OF Marriage itself she is talking about dream dress just great(note the sarcasm)

" go bath now" when I came back after bath she showed me my haldi dress it was a beautiful lehanga with many yellow layers and a large brown border and matching specially made flower jewels to it she helped me get ready and what i saw in mirror was not me but another girl she looked like a fairy

"i swear dear adityaa cant take his hands of you , you look stunning dear"

and then we went down I heard my mom laugh and I know who is here the bff gang they can only make her laugh

But when I went to my mum I see some other guy from his back he was not from the BFF gang hey wasn't Tharun, Santosh, Pavan are Nakul to my amusement who is none other than my fiancé my going to be husband

Shikha ran to my mom where I went to Sri and Saritha and I dearest darling son in law Raghav I was about to take him in my arms when Saritha stopped me saying.

"Dear you are bride Riya ..... Please don't take him in Your arms he may spoil Your dress" I pouted giving the looks like 'i will kill you'

Then I heard Shikha teasing Adityaa saying

'Adityaa why are you here ???' said Shikha

'I am here to take you home di' he said in his husky voice

" Umm.... I thought you were here to see someone” she smirked I was so eavsdropping in there conversation that now I was staring at him I heard some one talking to me

"So..... The greatest ever sheraya is staring at some one" I got myself out of trance listening his voice he was none other than tharun mr. Dumbass of bff gang my maternal cousin

He was also like brother to me but trouble some and he works for me

We where staying in the outhouse of the palace as I was not allowed to enter the palace

"Shut up dumbass"I said smriked

"Oh where is Riya .... I can't see her and who are you beautiful woman"tharun said

"Oh... Shut up tharun now I won't fall for your honey coated words " yes me n Tharun like for anything and everything.

"Ok my dear sis please " he called me sis something is up

"Come straight to the point mr.tharun Sharma"

"Ok then I want us to call aria up for Your wedding" wisphered tharun, aria worked for me too n they were in relationship but tharun was not dared to say this to his parents as she was a foreigner

"YOU know tharun I can't call any of the people who work for me to this stupid wedding and you know that the community remains secret to common people I can't risk anyone's lives stop kidding now I promise that I will surely convince Your father done"I whispered back but this time in my professional commanding tone.

"Ok " he said

Now I and tharun reached my room as I shouldn't get out till the muhurth for haldi comes so mom ordered tharun to accompany me and I heard that Shikha and Adityaa left for palace

Tharun took my hand into his and placed a cover in it it was microcorder cum communicator

"So everyone equppied with microcorder ??? As I had said to you yesterday "I said in my arrogant voice

" Yes mam we have done" replied tharun

" Take Rahul in contact"I said he called Rahul

"Rahul inform all the presidents into contact and do as I say " I want it to be done as quick as possible before the meeting

"Yes mam" "now you tharun take the speed Lightner out from my rack and I think Rahul had said to you about the meeting and remember to wake up at impossible hours"I said in the arrogant tone thank goddess I checked the walls of the outhouse they were sound proof

" Yes mam" he said and we heard a knock on door and someone stepped in and said " oh goodness Riya your getting married" now mr.annoying aka Pavan and Nakul entered the room and gave me a bone breaking hug they were my cross cousins too we were best friend s but these two are annoying at times

"WHY shouldn't she get married huh???"then Entered my dear sisters three angels of my life Isha,Meghana,Sravani .I think you people know Isha my sibling where Sravani n Meghna are my cousin's these three are of same age whereas the bffs are of same age whereas me and Sri are of same age

"I think one idiot is missing here where is Santosh??" I questioned

"Oh that Santoor soap he is helping chachima for haldi arrangements Riya..."the 3 idiots p,t,n replied in unison

Then there was a knock on the door there entered me.silent but yet mischievous of our cousin's Santosh

"Done with Your helping stuff to impress Chachi ma dude I think you got the number Santoor soap " tharun questioned Santosh nodded yes and gave the slip to Meghna the all of them looked into each other and nodded OH God what are these idiots up to

"Muhurth has arrived Chachi is calling you di"said Avanti my paternal cousin she my lovely sis in law

"Oh...K I will come and tell me guys what's are you guys planning care to tell me???" I glared at them I know these people have planned to do something mischievous but big

"No" all of my cousin's including Avanti n Isha replied Great just great really annoying when I was about to argue with them sir Sarita and Shikha entered

" Oh god Riya be fast muhurth has arrived" told Shikha

"oh shikha when did you get back??"i questioned before half an hour I think she left to the palace with my to be husband then why is she back???

"oh that I went but chichi maa invited me to haldi too???then how can I deny her so adityaa took me back are you coming are not muhurth has arrived re... be fast."

" And I am coming these are all my cousin's Shikha mind you know Sri...." I was cut off by Shikha now

"Riya.... I know all of them and all they know our cousin s atlast we are going to be cousin's right" I was amused leave about Shikha she visited here alot to help mom and I know my flirty cousin's but what they know all of cousin's of Adityaa but how come ????

And all my cousin's replied in unison" n all of us (including Shikha's cousin's) celebrated 'welcome to hell of being miss or going to be mrs.perfect sherayas cousin's by watching the movie dilwale " god they all watched the movie

leaving me or am I the new one entering the gang

what the heck????

"Don't worry so... Much even your hubby doesn’t know us but he will come to know soon!!!"They said

"What ever now can we go down to my haldi as my stupid cousin's has planned something and are not telling me what they have planned??" And Shikha has done my final touch up and put the flower jewelry on and took me down when I questioned her about the plan she said that they planned to threaten Adityaa to take care of me well having overprotective bros is good but troublesome at times .

When we reached down my mother in law and my mom were talking about something and she smiled at me genuine smile my mother took me on the stage where a royal chair which was decorated stood with Rajputana pride it was a design of peacock styled chair and got me to sit there

And all the aunties of mine and groom's side as well started applying mehandi my mother and father applied Mehanadi on my cheeks and my mother started crying instantly water fell from my eyes too and my father said

"I don't know when my little girl grew into beautiful princess"

And then my mother in law applied haldi n said " I can't take eyes of you dear don't know how Adityaa can resist himself day after tomorrow during Your shuagraat"I blushed I thought she was a strict woman with pride but she was fun.

Then my dearest cousins started applying thematic paste on me which ended up as a haldi fight even groom's side cousin's were fun Shikha, jai, ram, Vikram, Kranti, swara, sandhi, everyone ended up with lot of turmeric paste all they left to palace to take care of tomorrow functions as groom's haldi has already done the past day

I entered my room really Shikha s oil helped me a lot to get rid of turmeric paste I took a good bath and changed into casuals. I put the alarm for midnight and fell on the bed
