Chapter 35 - Blast from the past and the big day

The D day arrived and, the Hall of the Rathore's Mansion was different from usual days. Gone were the sofas and chairs, and were instead replaced by the sets of semicircle shaped dining table and five chairs covered with blue satin cloth.

On each dining table, along with the cutlery set, was placed scented napkins and in the middle of the table lay a white wicker basket with white daisies.

The idea to have the semicircle shaped table was Shanaya's as she wanted every person present in the hall to have the view of the stage, where Avni and Anubhav were to exchange the ring, without troubling themself.

The stage was at the far end of the hall and decorated with hanging glass globes with various flowers petals in them.

The theme of the day was blue and white and, the path from the entrance to the stage covered by white curtains and, chandeliers along, with white flowers enhancing the beauty of it..

The stairs bathing in the white flowers was enhancing the beauty and, the noontime perfectly showing the arrangements.

Shanaya had decided to go with the minimal decorations keeping in mind, the time of the event, which was in the noon.

"It's beautiful babe" marvelling at her work, standing beside her, wearing a blue suit with a grey shirt and brown shoes, with his hair long hair gelled up backwards, Vansh applauds her hard work.

Smiling wide in anticipation, Shanaya looked at Vansh and scanning him from toe to head, complimented him" You are looking hot and handsome" but before finishing the sentence on wittiness" for the first time" and giggled lightly.

Looking with narrowed eyes at her, Vansh roams his hands in his hair and spoke with same wittiness" One of us need to look better."

Scowling at his response, Shanaya replied" Ofcourse! you need to look better to match with my charms."

"Look who is talking! the one is roaming around in pants and tee."

"Just wonder Vanshu baby, how many will have a heart attack once they will see me dressed up prettily."

Laughing loudly at her reply, Vansh placed his hands on his ċhėst and said while faking the horror expressions "ofcourse! they will die screaming 'witch, witch.'"

Smiling slightly at the mixture of his insult and joke, Shanaya turned to face him and standing on her toes to match his height, messed his hair with her hand and ran to escape frustrated Vansh but could hear him yelling"No one mess with my Hair, Shana! "

"I do not come in 'no one' Vanshu!"

.......................................................

"Wow, who is this beautiful chick?" oozing at the descending figure of Shanaya in a satin blue gown, two men in their '20s in blue attire, standing at the entrance voiced out.

Standing close to them, in a white shirt in his usual style with folded sleeves, his blue Rolex watch looking worth his value on his right wrist, fitted blue pants displaying his long muscular legs with cheery coloured shoes, his hair gelled up in a neat yet sėxy look, his trimmed beard enhancing his captivating lips and perfect jawline, Vihaan with the aura of dominance, looked at his cousin standing beside him and, turn his attention to their captivator.

His heart took a beat when he saw the gorgeous Shanaya with her blonde hair moving with her movement, her earrings playing with her ears, her eyes shining with happiness and her face masked with a fascinating smile.

It was the first time he had seen her in traditional dress and, his mind, along with his heart, knew she was going to steal many hearts. He wished he could see her forever, but, his attention got shifted back to his cousins to found them watching her.

Clearing his throat to grab their attention, he spoke when they turned their eyes to him" Are you here to look at her? And, what is this word 'chick'?".

Creating a distance between them, two of them murmured a sorry when they feel getting wrapped by strong arms and heard Vansh's voice" Isn't she hot? Want me to introduce to her?"

Before they could utter a word, he stopped them by saying "Oh, not to forget, she is my best friend."

It was more than those two could handle and, they left the spot, understanding the hidden threat in Vansh's words.

Watching them fleeing, Vihaan chuckled inwardly, but his eyes glued back to Shanaya, and saw her talking with Avni who was looking like a fairy in her offwhite full sleeves, oval-shaped necked backless cotton silk gown with her curly hair tied up in a bun.

Seated beside Avni was Anubhav whose sherwani was matching Avni's outfit and was making him look more handsome than normal days.

Vihaan could not believe his single sister was getting engaged, and before he could turn weak, his gaze moved back to Shanaya, whose laugh was welcoming every bachelor present there.

His attention was distracted when he saw Saaransh looking like a greek god in his blue suit with a blue shirt, black hair styled up and clean-shaven face making his sharp jawline more visible, patting Vansh's shoulder and saying" You are good with your words."

Smiling at his words, Vansh replied: "You know the principle of my life, no messing with my people."

Humming in response, Saaransh turned his attention to Shanaya and spoke in a lost way" By the way, it was not your cousin's fault."

Saaransh was about to say more when he saw Shanaya receiving a call and saw her coming toward them. He does not know about others, but his heartbeat was syncing with her footsteps and, he took a long breath to control his emotions but failed by his luck, he saw Vihaan looking at him with a weird expression.

"Vanshu yrr I need your help" without looking at Vihaan and Saaransh, Shanaya busy in her phone said with desperation in her voice.

She lifts her gaze to see Vansh's expression when she saw him surrounded by Vihaan and Saaransh and, her heart did not go unbeaten at their sights.

Ignoring them, completely, to not to disturb her thoughts, she spoke without listening to Vansh's answer" You need to pick one of my friend from the Delhi airport."

Looking at her with narrowed eyes, Vansh spoke nothing and continued listening to her" Please nh Vanshu, you, are my baby, my sweetheart, my love, my darling."

Looking at her acting cutely, Saaransh could not stop laughing and, Shanaya's attention turned to him.

She could hardly ignore him at such a moment and, she did what she wanted to do from the starting. She openly undresses Saaransh like a pro and said with flirtatious tone" I wish I could have a heart!"

Taken aback by her response, Vihaan looked at her with shock. He could not believe she was flirting with his best friend in front of him!

Laughing at her reply, Saaransh took her hand and said seducingly" Why so beautiful girl?"

Leaning closer to him, in full mood of flirting, Shanaya spoke with warmth and love "I wish to give it to you" and laughed loudly at her own actions.

"Hahaha" laughing from his heart, Saaransh spoke with same flirtatious tone" You already have it, darling."

Before she could say more, she felt someone's heated gaze and, she knew who could it be. Her heart felt like she was cheating on Vihaan by flirting with his best friend, but that was not the case and, she wondered why. Ignoring the warnings given by her heart, she spoke" Let's have a selfie.

Posting the picture of her with Saaransh on Instagram, Shanaya once, again, reminds Vansh to go to pick her friend within thirty minutes and, was going back to Avni when she received a notification stating she has a direct message on Instagram and, she stopped dead.

"Keep away from boys Shana! I am warning you!" was the message from Saar.
