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
