Chapter 14: Wedding Festivities!
( Bachelor Party, Sangeet, Mehendi and Haldi)

...

After the Big Engagement Day, the officers were getting all set for the further Wedding functions.

Bachelor Party:

"enjoy your last few days in freedom Sir" Freddy sang as he side hugged Abhijit and Daya standing at a side having some soft drinks.

Pankaj, Vineet, Freddy, Nikhil started to dance.

Abhijit could clearly see Rajat and Purvi standing at a corner, probably discussing something, he smiled it off as Tarika approached him.

He extended his hand to her as she came closer and pulled her to him. Daya was already pulled on the dance floor by the boys and all were getting mad. This wasn't a big function, a small party for the near ones.

While AbhiRika were busy in their own romance fluff, a drunk girl came infront of Daya out of nowhere and pulled his hand and started dancing.

Daya pulled his hand out of her grip and slightly pushed her, careful enough She is their guest.

"excuse me madam" Daya again jerked off his hand as she started to dance with him again. The girl frowned.

Suddenly, Daya's eyes fell on the girls standing at a corner and Shreya staring right at him! The boy's had already seen the drama and knew what was to follow.

"SHREYA!" Daya shouted her name as she ran away from there. Shreya started to run, Daya after her, the other team after them. AbhiRika too understood the situation and followed.

Shreya was running so fast that she didn't notice the stone that stuck into her foot to make her fall down. She moaned in pain.

"Daya, don't touch me" Shreya shouted as Daya came to help.

"oh lord" Tarika and Purvi came to help Shreya up.

"Are you okay Shreya?" Daya asked concerned.

Shreya just nodded.

"I can't believe this Shreya, tumhein mujhpar bharosa nahi hai kya?" Daya said, baffled.

"Daya-" before Shreya could speak, Vineet cut her off.

"Shreya, Daya Sir par bharosa karo. Wo ladki kar rahi thi sab" Vineet explained.

"Aur Daya Sir ne toh usse dur rehne ko bhi kaha" Nikhil said, further.

"Chod do Nikhil, Vineet. She doesn't trust me" Daya said, turning to leave, smiling to himself.

"Hogaya sabka?" The trio turned to see Shreya standing with folded arms across her chest,

Shreya took Daya's hand in hers, and pressed it slightly.

"mein aapar naraz nahi thi Daya, mujhe bas uss ladki par gussa aa raha tha." Shreya softly said, making everyone smile.

"par tumne kaha-" Daya started to say, Shreya cuts him.

" Daya, mein nahi chahti thi ki gusse mein aapko hurt Karun" Shreya smiles, Daya smiles back.

"Leave them alone Guys!" Abhijit smirked as he entangled his hand in Tarika's and left.

Other too smirked and left, leaving DaReya alone.

"mein usko maarne waali thi, but bahar aagayi kyuki I didn't want to create a scene" Shreya said.

Daya side hugged her and kissed her forehead before they too went inside.

After having some more drinks and food, everyone headed towards their rooms while Abhirika and Dareya headed towards the beach for a late night romantic walk.

Next Day, Sangeet.

Setting: the hall beautifully decorated with pink flowers, the stage for the grooms and bride decorated elegantly in stones and flowers. Beautiful colored lights and a soft music tunes playing.

Tarika was dressed in Green and white colored light, stone studded lehenga. Hair half tied beautifully, Shreya dressed in Magenta and Blue embroidered lehenga. Hair done in braid, While the grooms dressed in traditional Kurtas'.

Purvi looked gorgeous in Pink and Silver colored lehenga with her hair left open. The other guys opted for normal designed Kurtas'.

The instrumental tunes of 'Ishq wala Luv" ( Student of the year) started to play as both the girls entered.

The guys were standing in the front, Abhijit and Daya presented rose flowers to Tarika and Shreya respectively, who blushed.

Both the couples sat down on the chairs on the stage.

"okay, let the fun begin!" Pankaj announced joyfully.

Soon, the performances began.

First, Purvi performed solo on, London Thumakda (Queen). Her beautiful dance steps made the audience wild, everyone clapped and cheered for her.

After Purvi's performance, other enthralling performances followed. The Boys danced on G Phaad Ke (happy ending) wildly.

Vineet, Purvi and Rajat then danced on Radha (Student of the Year). Everyone hooted and clapped.

"Tumhein nahi lagta Rajat aur Purvi make a good couple?" Abhijit asked Tarika out of a sudden.

Tarika nodded mouthing a yes with a smile.

Then, it was time for the brides' dance. Shreya and Tarika shook their legs on Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan (Roy). While, Abhijit and Daya danced together on Lucky Tu Lucky Me.

Finally, both the couples danced on Punjabi Wedding Song (Hasee toh Phasee), ending the dance performances with great enthusiasm.

Finally they had dinner. Purvi bought two plates of food for Tarika and Shreya. Everyone settled.

"Humara khaana kidhar hai?" A confused Daya asked Purvi.

Purvi giggled.

"aapko nahi pata kya? Yeh Family tradition hai ki aaj se lekar honeymoon tak aaplog ek plate mein khaengey" Vineet explained.

Tarika and Shreya blush as they share food with their husbands to-be.

After the dinner all started with the dance again and danced through the night.

Next Morning, Mehendi.

Setting: Ceremony was to held in a garden, Beautiful blue white flowers were placed around. The girls came to sit down on the stools kept for them.

This ceremony was only girls ceremony so the boys were there apparently. Some ladies came to surround Tarika and Shreya.

"Tumhare hone waale pati ke naam ka pehla akshar kya hai?" One lady asked Tarika.

Tarika blushed, "A... A for Abhijit"

Shreya too was asked the same.

Mehendi hai Rachne waali, tunes started to play. The girls got emotional seeing their mother's singing the songs.

Moments later, the song switched, Mehendi Lagake Rakhna, the ladies turned to see the guys entering the scene. the boys weren't' supposed to be here, Purvi frowned.

The Mehendi was followed by some dances and later Lunch.

Everyone was busy with the marriage preparations, for now the wedding was just a night later.

Later that day, 6:00 pm

Before dinner, Purvi asked the couples for a unique couple dance. Purvi placed 2 square shaped Paper on the dance floor and explained them the couple paper dance.

The couples have to stand on the paper to dance, and after every 30 seconds the paper was folded, reducing the space. Rest of the team giggled. tarika and shreya blushed. On top of that, the team would shower them with petals.

song: Tere Hoke Rahengey (Raja Natvarlal)

The couples started to dance standing close.

... 30 seconds later. Paper folded once.

song: Zehenaseeb (hasee toh phasee)

The couples dance hugging. Everyone giggled.

Flowers were showered on them.

Rajat didn't like the concept of showering petals on the dancing couple and showered it all on Purvi standing beside him. Purvi looks at him confused.

"Yeh aapne kya kiya?" Purvi asked him.

Rajat just shrugged his shoulders. "mujhe unse zayada tumpar phool daalne mein maza aaya"

Purvi laughed a little. Her hair were all covered in flower petals, nobody noticed them fortunately.
While the two were busy in their talks they didn't notice when the Paper Dance got over as the paper was folded till a little sheet.

Everyone had dinner then, suddenly tarika's mother announced.

Tarika's mother: "Kal subah pehle haldi hai phir shaam ke muhrath mein shaadi. aur hume haldi ka saaman chahiye"

Purvi: "haanji aunty, abhi mein aur Vinie jaakar haldi ka saara saaman lekar aaengey"

Vineet: "mein nahi jaa sakta, decorators se kuch kaam hai mujhe"

Rajat: "kuch nahi hota, mein chala jaata hun"

Rajat and Purvi went outside, it was dark with moonlight shining. Suddenly, Rajat pulled Purvi to the garden's bench. Purvi was dumbfounded, Rajat placed his hand on her hair and took out all those flower petals in her hair. She smiled as her hair played in the wind. He breathtaking smell of her Jasmine perfume was taking control over him.

Suddenly...
