My mother entered in my room with some of my relatives. Only ladies. My chachi, taiji and some of my cousins were there.

My mother came towards me and adjusted the dupatta of lehenga and lastly put it on my head and put a Bindi between my two eyebrows. And corrected my hairstyle a bit.

She made me wear the beautiful bangles, Maang tikka, heavy earrings with matching necklace, a ring bracelet embellished with pearls. It was beautiful. Finally I was ready when the makeup artists did the last touch up.

All the ladies were teasing me. Like seriously. They always acted so boring before but now see. They are really excited for my wedding I see.

After some time they all left me alone. I would stay in my room till the time Rehan's family will reach here.

I was sitting in front of the mirror looking at my reflection when my mother came behind me and started pinning the veil on my head with pins so that it remains as it is when I move around.

After doing so she came infront of me and kissed my forehead.

"you would not repent this decision ", she said lovingly.

"I hope so",I said while looking downwards. She made me look in her eyes and the thing I found was determination. She was determined with the fact that I will stay happy. This fact unknowingly filled tears in my eyes.

"wouldn't you and Papa miss me", I asked with a heavy voice trying my best to control my emotions.

"we will but we have each other. We will try to keep us busy. ", she said and with that a lone tear escaped from her left eye.

This was enough for me to start crying. I was constantly crying which was accompanied with my hiccups.

She hugged me tightly to her chest and I remembered the day when I fall down while learning to ride a bicycle. She hugged me the same way.

Though she was strict but she is the best mother. She never allowed anyone to raise a finger towards me.

"I love you mumma", I said while hiding my face more in her chest. In return she hugged me more tightly as if she was protecting me from this cruel world.

"love you bacha", she replied while herself sobbing.

"love you mumma and my bacha", I heared papa.

"group hug without me isn't fair princess", he said and hugged us both.

My mother slightly punched his chest.

"why do you always come in between me and my daughter", she said.

Papa faked an expression to be hurt.

"Because I am the father here", he said.

"beside I am there to love you but no one is there to love me.", he said playfully and winked at me.

"Ho... You shameless man what about me don't I love you", she said.

"I don't know you tell me. "he said.

"of course I do love you", she said.

"really sweetie", he asked.

"of course ",she replied.

"I know", he said

"then why did this drama", mumma asked.

" to hear your confession. You didn't say it in a while. ", he said.

" You are very bad. I hate you. You and your daughter don't love me. I will go to my mother's home after the engagement. Even if you beg me to come I will not come back. You just wait and watch. ", she said and stood up at once and started leaving.

"We would have a happy time without you. Bye bye", papa said

He came near my ear and whispered,"Don't worry. She will be here in a minute. "

"Why are you disturbing my sister, Tanmay ",

My mother's brother i.e. my mama said.

"Abhi what are you doing here", papa asked mama.

"What should I answer him for his question Shreya", he asked me.

" Don't you know I am here to sell some bangles. Would you like some? They would look great on your hands", mama told papa.

"Of course I am here to attend the engagement of my beautiful princess, you stupid", he said

"You could've answered this without any drama. ", papa told him.

"you wouldn't have heared me than. By the way can I take my sister with me. She still has her brother by her side. I don't know what she saw in you. Why she is still with you?", he asked papa.

"she is not going anywhere. She is here because she loves me. I will talk to you later. ", he told mama.

"I will be waiting for our epic conversation. I will be waiting in your living room with some popcorn. Will you prepare some popcorn for me sister?", he asked mumma to which she nodded.

"They are here", Noor told us.

"Alright. We are coming sweetheart. ", mumma told her. And turned her attention towards me.

"Sweetie let's go", she said and hold me from one side giving me some strength and from the other side papa was holding me.

"princess I would be there in a minute ", mama said to which I nodded.

We left to the destination where the engagement was to be held.

My favourite song started playing.

I love this song. I was looking downwards whole time. Not able to believe this harsh reality. Finally we reached near the stage. I was offered a hand to climb up the stairs because of my heavy dress. I finally looked up and saw Rehan looking as handsome as ever.

Trying not to be rude I accepted his hand and carefully climbed up the stairs.

Different romantic songs were playing in the background.

When my mother and aunty came with our engagement rings

First Rehan asked for my hand. I hesitated a bit but than gave my hand to him and he made me wear a beautiful diamond ring.

Than it was my turn and as asked I made him wear the ring which mumma chose for him.

It was not a dream but I was really engaged to Rehan Khurana.
