"Barat aa gayi". Shouts Golu, Navya's cousin from the gate. Suddenly there is a hurry burry atmosphere in bride's house.
The baratis came dancing and singing with band baja. The band party was playing latest hindi dance songs at janta's demand. Everyone seems to be very happy and enjoying the moment to the core. All are very nicely dressed with ladies wearing heavy banarasi and designer sarees, lehenga's and anarkali salwar suits. The gents have come in sherwanis, suits with a pagdi as it's there tradition to wear pagdi on their marriages. The bride's family standing at the entrance to welcome them. In the midst of all the excitement suddenly, Mr. Ram Bajpai, Anant's father says "Where is Anant?" Everyone is shocked. The music, dancing, singing stopped. Where is he? This question arises in everyone's mind. People there looks around to search him. The groom with the horse is not to be seen anywhere. Anant's parents are worried because he was not agreeing to get married. Navya's family are more worried as it is the question of their daughter's life.
Anant, an independent guy who is also from banaras but lives in Mumbai alone and works as a software engineer in an MNC, has agreed for the marriage due to family pressure. He didn't want to get married due to an incident which changed his life. Like Navya, he also agreed for the marriage without seeing the photo.
With tension surrounding around suddenly the groom enters from behind riding a horse following two, three people. All sigh's a relief seeing them. Dulha's face is covered with sehra. He seems to be very tall. Where did you guys go Rohit? Ask's Ram. Uncle ji, while we were coming the horse suddenly stopped and sat down. While we were trying to make him move, you people have already left. I tried to call but there was so much of noise and everyone was busy dancing that no-one heard me. Tried calling on your mobile but you didn't pick up. Ram takes out his cell from pocket and sees 17 miss calls from Rohit and Anant. Oh. Because of the noise I didn't hear beta. Rohit is Anant's best friend who works in the same company as Anant and have come to attend the marriage. He is very good looking and wearing black suit with blue shirt. One barati from there said "Arre out of enjoyment we left our dulhe saab". Everyone out there started giggling and laughing hearing this.
Now finally the time came when our Dulhe raja got down from his ride and came to the entrance where everyone was eagerly waiting to welcome him and have a glance of him. Meena chichi comes with arti ki thali and when he removes his sehra, everyone was astonished to see him. Anant is very fair with magical light brown eyes. His golden sherwani with zari embroidery paired with maroon Patiala is complimenting his looks a lot. He is wearing a diamond studded maroon turban which is very well going with his complexion. He looks no less than a prince charming who is every girls dream man. All girls including the aunties are like wow, he is so handsome. He bends with a smile and Chachi ji puts a tika and does arti. She then pulls his nose and welcomes him to come inside. He enters along with barati's to the marriage house.
Dude, I want to go to the washroom. Say's Anant slowly. What? Here? Rohit Replied. Yes. Please do something yaar. Didn't get a chance at home in hurry and now I have to sit here for so long. Ok ok. Let me check. Rohit looks around and sees one lady from bride's side whom he asks "Where is the washroom". The lady replies "First go straight and then to the left". Rohit overhears tells the same to Anant but instead of left he says right. Anant leaves his turban with Rohit and goes there and while going towards right he hears "Suhani, where are you? Please come fast" Hearing the voice he stops. The voice was so soft. There is an essence of innocence in her voice. It was sounding as if a child is calling her mom. Who is she? This thought came into his mind making him curious to find her. He steps back and sees the door of the room is slightly open. He tries to look from where is the voice coming. He is not able to find anyone. Are you looking for anyone? From behind a voice came and Anant turns back and sees..
