Chapter Forty Five
⭕ Finale ⭕
JENNIFER rushed out of her apartment and straight into the car It was obvious she was late for where she’s going to
She put the key into the ignition and zoomed off
Soon a call came into her phone
“Damn”, she cussed and took the phone from the pigeon hole
She looked into it and smiled, it was Priceley
“Hey dear”, she said, her left hand on the steering, her right hand with the phone
“Hey babe, where you, you are keeping me waiting”, Priceley complained into the phone
Jennifer sighed
“I’m sorry, I’m on my way”, she said
“I’m waiting, and tell that damn car to bring you here at once”, she
laughed and the call ended

Priceley was putting finishing touches on his bandhgala in readiness for the marriage
He sprayed himself some passion perfume and walked out of the room
Still petrified why Jennifer hadn’t come yet, he picked up his phone to call, then boom, there was Jennifer’s car driving in slowly
He smiled and walked to the car after it had screeched to a halt
Jennifer alighted
“Hey”, Priceley shouted, “you aren’t even dressed yet”
Jennifer looked at herself and sighed
“How do you want me to dress? You forgotten I’m no Indian?”
Priceley shook his head
“Come in and get dressed, I got some sari for you”, he intoned and they both walked into the house
He had Prisha do the dressing for her and then they were ready to leave
Priceley was waiting downstairs for her, he was already feeling agitated
The best man and bridesmaid, are still yet to leave What nonsense
Then he looked up and saw her coming down the stairs, counting her steps
He walked up to her and offered his right hand
“Here princess”, he said, she smiled and placed her left hand on his and they both walked to the car
“We’re late you know? And you caused it”, Priceley said as he opened the car door for her to enter
“I didn’t”, she said, rolling her eyes, “we both caused it”, she laughed
“I think I’ll have your lips cut off”, they laughed
He revved the car and they zoomed off

The marriage hall in the Sujit’s mansion was well decorated, and befit for a marriage of class
People roamed about, some just arriving
The place was extremely crowded, and filled with figures of high caliber, standard and importance to the society
Sharuna’s schoolmates were all there in their numbers, teachers included
Kesmanee’s business associates and employees weren’t exempted Everyone was just present
The bride was dressed up in a red and white Panetar sari, and the groom in
a red and white Sherwani.
They were beautifully dressed
Soon, the marriage kicked off and the rites were carried out
The most important rite, which is the Saptapadi, was carried out
The bride’s and groom’s clothes were tied to each other
The bride’s Panetar was tied to the groom’s sherwani, and the Saptapadi was carried out
They took steps round the fire, seven steps to be specified
Then the bride offered a drink to the groom, and they both walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, where both parents prayed for them
Now, proclaimed husband and wife
All done, Kesmanee took hold of Sharuna’s hand and stood her up Now, they were facing each other
Sharuna was somewhat shy, her heart beat so loud and fast Her face was down, her eyes looking at the floor
“Look into my eyes, my lady”, he whispered to her She slowly raised her head
Their gaze met
“I knew this day was gonna come”, he said, “no matter what happens, if we were meant to be together, it shall be so”
She smiled and looked into his eyes
“What will be will be”, she whispered
“I love you”, her lips wobbled
He smiled
“I love you too”, and he brought his head down as their lips met in a passionate kiss
The people cheered, and threw shimmering confetti of flowers over the couple
