What did you read?

Just a beautiful line to say

Riya took half n hour more to finally select a dress for herself then it came my turn to finalise a dress for myself.

Maa called me and asked to sit in the middle. So now, I am sitting between my Maa and my Mamma.

The salesman started showing some of his elegant collections and I honestly liked all of them and became confused which one to choose.

"Karuna beta which one you like the most?", Mumma asked me.

"All of them are so nice it's very tough for me to select any one of them.", I answered honestly.

"Then you can do one thing. Why don't you try all of these and whoever will suit you the most we will buy that one", Maa suggested.

"Actually, that's a good idea mam. Please come I will show you the changing room.", said salesman.

Raj was busy talking with my father when I went towards the changing room with the salesman. He didn't even looked at me once. I don't know what they were talking about? I genuinely wanted Raj to see my dress but I think he is not interested.

I tried the first one which was yellow in colour but it doesn't suits me well. I tried another one which is blue in colour and then again I tried another one then again the other and then I tried the dark pink colour full length floral salwar suit. I am looking so pretty. I instantly decided that this is what I want for myself.

After confirming what I want I went to where everyone is and showed them my choice they all were happy and appreciated it.

I turned around my head to find Raj but he is nowhere to be seen. Not only Raj but all the boys were not present. Where all of them disappeared?

"Oh come on Bhabhi stop wondering about my brother's absence all the time.", Riya said and rolled her eyes.

My tounge automatically came out shyly and I lowered my head while blushing slightly. How she always catch me red-handed? I guess I have to work hard on covering up my emotions I must be very bad on hiding them.

"For your kind information we have sent all the boys to do the shopping for themselves because if they will wait for our shopping to get completed then I guarantee you they will never be able to purchase a single dress for themselves.", Said Riya.

I nodded my head in approval. Yes she is absolutely right because only Riya and me have chosen what we will wear on our engagement. Maa, Mamma and Kareena have still not made their choices. So, it's going to take a lot of time.

We ladies took more two hours to finalize our dresses and then we all decided to go to the tailor shop for giving our measurements for alteration if there is required any.

When we reached the tailor shop all the boys were already present there and the tailor was taking Raj's measurement.

"Great! You all finally done with your shopping.", Paa commented amusedly seeing all of us.

All the ladies glared at him angrily specially Maa. He scaredly turn around while asking the tailor.

"Bhaiya when will you take my measurement?"

I giggled on my Paa's action. How dare he made a comment on ladies shopping?

"Just a minute sir I am almost done with your son in law.", Answered the tailor.

One by one the tailor took everyone's measurement and then it came my turn.

The tailor is an old man and was sewing clothes for our family since I was just a little girl.

First he measured my height and asked,

"How long you want your suit to be beta?"

"Uncle I want it full length and this time please don't make any mistakes because I don't have time for the re-alteration.", I answered while warning him strictly.

He laughed a little bit and said,

"Don't worry beta this time I won't disappoint you."

Then he took the measurement of my arms then shoulders then he asked me to lift my hand a little bit so that he can take the measurement of my chest.

I saw Raj's face. He is staring at the tailor with a very angry alert expression.

I felt amused by his expression he is not liking that someone else is touching me. Suddenly I started feeling uncomfortable. No It's not because of the tailor it's because Raj is feeling uncomfortable and because of him I am also feeling uncomfortable.

The tailor took few more seconds to complete his job.

I went to Raj and held his hand with mine. I squeezed it a little bit to assure him that everything is ok and he didn't touch me inappropriately.

He looked at me questioningly while I nodded my head to assure him.

He freed his hand from my grasp. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"Next time I am not going to let anyone touch you.", He said in a warning tone.

"Then how will I give my measurements?", I asked him teasingly.

"You don't have to worry about that I have my way to take your measurement.", He said sensually and winked at me.

I blushed and instantly lowered my head to hide my emotions not only from Raj but from everyone.

"Ahem ahem! We are done with the dresses and we still have some time left. So, I think we should move on to buy the jewelleries.", Mamma said especially to me and Raj because we were busy on our own world.

I watched her shyly and she smirked.

"Yes I was also saying that to Una.", Raj said while trying to save both of us from facing more embarrassment.

"I can't believe you both once denied to get married to eachother and now see you both are inseparable.", Riya said teasingly.

I removed Raj's hand around my shoulders and went towards Mamma. I hide myself behind her while everyone giggled.

We all came to the jewellery shop. Similarly Riya took most of the time on selecting a ring for herself and Karan. Me and Raj together choose our engagement rings. Maa and mumma bought other jewelleries for themselves and for us too. We spend one hour at the jewellery store.

All of us were so tired because of the shopping and there wasn't any energy left to prepare dinner at night. So, we all decided to have our dinner at the restaurant.

Kareena was unable to join us in the restaurant for dinner because she said,

"I am sorry but I have to go because I have to reach home before Rahul returned. If he will not see me then I am scared that he will not allow me to come back again to meet you all."

With a very heavy heart we all gave her permission to leave.

We all came to have dinner on one of my favourite restaurant they are famous for their Italian cuisine and I just love Italian foods. Pizza and white sauce pasta is my all time favourite I can never say no to eat them just like soyabean.

We finished our dinner and were ready to go back to our respective homes.

Raj and Paa left first to bring their car from the parking area while others were waiting for them inside the restaurant.

Suddenly I heard my phone vibrated. I checked the reason for vibration. I noticed Raj have send me a text which says,

'Come out, I am waiting for you at the parking area.'

I blushed slightly after reading his text while getting confused. Why he wants me to come to the parking area? What reason I will give to everyone? Where am I going?

Suddenly I get an idea and stood up from my seat and said,

"I am going to the washroom."

Everyone looked at me confusedly and suspiciously.

Shit! How stupid I am. Who declares that they are going to the washroom to everyone? It's so embarrassing.

Without meeting anyone's eye I rushed towards the exit of the restaurant. I think they all have understood that I was lying because I heard their giggles.
