Delightful update, I loved Sahan’s encounter…. It was so passionate…. Oh jealousy is filling in Angad.
Loving it! Good Angad is having fun. Hopefully he'll loosen up gradually and acknowledge Sahiba...
CHAPTER 7: HALDI AND SANGEET
Angad had donned a yellow patiala, with a bandi embroidered with tiny tiny mirrors. He was wearing a white turban in contrast. Despite having a good time yesterday afternoon, he was back to his sour self since yeaterday evening. He had finished few important calls and given Pam instructions to finish certain tasks before he joined Daarji and Dad to welcome and settle their guests from out of town. The Haldi was scheduled during the day and Sangeet in the night. There would be the choora ceremony tomorrow morning on the brides side with a parallel kajal ceremony on boys side. Followed by the wedding and bidai...Brars were going to throw a grand reception few days later.
The haldi ceremony was to be held under a beautiful decor of orange canopy, decorated with yellow and white flowers. Seerat was looking like an Apsara in her pale yellow saree, sphegati silver blouse and flower jewellery adorning her neck, ears, head and hands. Garry was looking like a proud groom, sitting near her, on a separate setting. The haldi ceremony was going to be a combined one, with the groom and bride sitting adjacent to each other at a distance and their respective families doing the ceremony. Everyone was waiting for the brides haldi to come.
'Where is the haldi' fretted Santosh....'Don't worry, Sahiba is getting it'assured Taaiji. 'Whats taking her so long...' There she is....
Sahiba was walking down the path towards them. Decked in a yellow ghagra, sewed with mirrors all over the border, a mirrored blouse and a yellow dupatta with mirrors along the entire border, she was looking very simple, but beautiful. She had green emerald like earrings, contrasting beautifully with the yellow outfit. Angad noticed that she never wore a neck piece.....the emerald and kundan necklace from his premier collection would look gorgeous on her long neck....he snapped out of his thought, to focus on the task at hand.
'Kitni Der lagaa di Sahiba'......Santosh berated her.
Garry and Seerat's haldi began, with respective sides elders applying haldi on them with traditional punjabi wedding songs playing in the background. Once the elders were through it was turn for the siblings...and they all jumped on Seerat and Garry respectively, attacking them with haldi, juice, Milk any anything they could get their hands on.
Angad was watching his cousins molest Garry from a distance, not wanting his clothes to get dirty. 'Angad, Angad, please help me, I have something in my eye' pleaded Garry.
Worried, Angad moved to help him and fell in their trap, Garry jumped and hugged him, and rubbed his face against his....'You can't remain so clean....you are going to be next now!'...that was the signal for all his cousins to jump on him, covering him in haldi...his chachi, bhuas and mom also joined in the attack....he was covered in uptan from top to bottom within few minutes.
'Angad, now it's set, you are going to be the next groom in the family' said Bebe laughing. Angad had had enough and went to his room nearby to clean.
On the bride's side
Sahiba and Param had covered Seerat in Uptan from top to toe and suddenly Param held Sahiba's hand and turned towards her with ubtan in his other hand
'NOOOO' screamed Sahiba but he had no mercy...Seerat and Param, joined in by Taaiji and Santosh, covered Sahiba in Ubtan too. There was some ubtan left with the Brar kids and they did not want to loose out on the fun and joined in covering Sahiba with juice, oil, etc, etc.
'Sahiba puttar, ab jald Tera bhi vyaah hone wala hai' chirped Bebe..
'Ow...ow..there is something in my eyes' the uptan had gone in Sahiba's eyes and they were burning....someone helped her with water but it was not enough, she needed to wash it off, her room was at the far end of the farm.
'Use my suite, its nearby, Room No. 401....go go, there is still some ritual left for us, we will take sometime, go and wash your face and eyes' urged Garry.
Sahiba walked towards the nearby rooms, her eyes burning...she stumbled near the rooms and saw '40..' mistaking the 407 for 401 while her eyes were burning and entered it. The door was open....she frantically searched for the bathroom door while squinting and rushed towards it. Once in, she went to the washbasin and began splashing water on her face, unaware of another presence in the bathroom.
Angad was shocked to see Sahiba in his bathroom, spashing water all over her face...his shock soon gave way to anger....she had followed him in his room and bathroom to trap him! Looking at the luxury Seerat was going to enjoy, she must have wanted the same for herself he thought....
Sahiba's eyes felt much better after she had washed them, she wiped the water off her face with a napkin nearby and as she looked up, she was shocked to see Angad in the mirror behind her, glaring at her. She turned and said 'what r u doing over here'
'This is my room and my bathroom, don't act surprised, as if you didn't know this'
'This is Garry's room, 401.'
'No this is my room, 407 and don't pretend, I know girls like you and what you want' he started walking towards her.
Sahiba was getting worried at the anger emanating from him and was not sure why he was angry for such a small misunderstanding. She instinctively started walking backward and away from him and suddenly bumped into the wall behind her and inadvertently switched on the shower.
Before she could move to close it, Angad was loomingn over her, holding her hand tightly....they were both getting drenched but Angad would not let go...'let's see what you have got to offer...'
Angad had intended to scare her and teach her a lesson but watching her getting drenched in the water, the droplets moving over her fair skin, her eyelashes and her lips...he could only think of one thing and started bending his head towards hers.
Sahiba was getting upset and had no clue what he was up too...for a second when he started bending towards her, she waited with an awaited breath but at the last second she snapped out of it, pushed him hard and ran out of the bathroom and the room.
'Shit..' thought Angad.....things had got a little too out of hand, he hoped she did not go tattle to anyone, he did not want to upset Garry on his big day.
Sahiba ran all the way to her room....she was embarrassed at herself...she had entered his room by mistake and his bathroom...he must have thought she was giving him some signals...oh gosh! Sahiba remembered the few seconds when she was frozen as if almost waiting for him....but dismissed it as fear....she better Stay away from him for the rest of the two days. She was not going to tell anyone about this...Param would surely punch him and Seerat di may complain to Garry....she did not want a scene to be created in the middle of the wedding. She was just going to avoid him till the wedding got over.
POST LUNCH
Angad was greeting some of his late comer guests when a Mercedes entered the gates and a tall, handsome man stepped out. Param seemed to know him and they both hugged enthusiastically. Angad got busy greeting his other guests.
'Amrit veerji....you made it from Canada! Maaasi said you reached yesterday but were jet lagged'
'Yes, I was too sleepy, hence decided to join today little late today. Of course I made it, I cannot miss my sister's wedding...Parminder could not join in as she has just started her second trimester and I also need to go back within couple of days of the wedding as I don't want to leave her alone for long'
Amrit was Sudha Maasi's son and residing in Canada currently with his wife. He met everyone and noted that Sahiba and Seerat were missing....'Sahiba must be somewhere and Seerat has gone to get ready for the evening'
Param got busy getting Amrit's stuff in his room, whereas Amrit went looking for Sahiba.
Sahiba had just finished her lunch and was moving towards her room when someone covered her eyes from behind. It was a man's hand and seemed muacular.
'Param' she questioned....no....then it suddenly struck her! 'Amrit Veerji!', she turned excitedly and gave him a tight hug. Amrit took her in his arms and twirled her round and round. In their exuberance of meeting each other, they were completely unaware of Angad's stony gaze...
Sahiba was really excited to meet her cousin brother, she had lovely childhood memories with him and he was like their protector growing up...he was 12 years her senior and they were his babies...after exchanging pleasantries....they headed towards Seerat's room to meet her.
Angad was at a distance, hence had not heard their conversation in the midst of the dhols playing but could see their physical comfort. So he had been right about her, she had found a rich benefactor for herself, even though he looked quiet older than her! It did not strike Angad that the man could be her relative as he looked quiet rich.
Amrti and Sahiba entered Seerat's room, Veerji! Screamed Seerat....hugging him...I am so glad you could make it. The cousins chatted for a while before dispersing for getting ready.
SANGEET AND COCKTAIL PARTY
Sahiba was wearing a red sequined embroidery ghagra, designed in leaf style. Matching blouse and red chiffon dupatta, with her mother's gold jhumkaas....she looked as striking as Seerat, entering the Sangeet function. Tonight there were going to be dance performances by the grooms family primarily, as there was only one dance by Sahiba and Param, dances by the bride and the groom and a general after party post that, with cocktails.
Sahiba was seated mostly with Amrit veerji and Param and they were like her two bodyguards.....she was drawing a lot of male attention and that irked her brothers no end, whereas she was as oblivious to the same as she could be. She has determined to ignore Angad completely and had not even bothered to look at him or observe him, he was non existent for her..though difficult, she ensured that she stayed away from the entire brar lot and maintained her distance.
The performances started. Sahiba and Param performed their dance and the finale was Seerat and Garry's romantic number. Sahiba was so happy for Seerat Di, Garry was such a sorted kind of a guy, no attitude or airs and seemed to love Seerat di so much....
The after party was in full swing and everyone was dancing and having a good time in general, other than Angad. He noticed that Sahiba ignored him completely and why would she not, she had found another sugar daddy for herself, looking at her laughing with the older guy. All girls are the same he thought bitterly, thinking about how Simmi had also married a guy much older than herself for money.
Amrit went to get himself a drink and Sahiba was watching Param dance when the waiter offered her juice...she was actually quiet thirsty and picked up a glass and downed it in one go....it was quiet tasty, so she gulped another glass down too....
Something was not right, thought Sahiba after sometime. Her head was spinning badly and she felt .....dizzy...'What happened Sahiba' asked Param as he came towards her....'I don't feel good' slurred Sahiba....
'Did you drink something' asked Param curtly, looking at her
'Couple of glasses of juice..' Param checked and realised that she had cocktails instead of mocktails and was now high...
'What happened' asked Amrit coming back with his drink....'Veerji looks like Sahiba had some alcohol by mistake and is now high....it hits her badly...I think I will take her to my room' said Param worriedly.
'You don't worry, you carry on, I will take her to mom's room and dad can later sleep in my room with me. I am anyway tired, will settle her down and go sleep too.....' said Amrit, wrapping his one arm around Sahiba and started walking her towards the rooms.
Angad had gone in his room for few minutes to attend an important conference call with his Canadian clients and was walking back to the function when he saw Sahiba enter a room with that man....he knew she was sharing a room with Seerat and this was not hers! So he was right about her! He was very very very angry, he was rarely this angry in his whole life...all that innocence she radiated was an absolute sham...to trap rich men....he turned away and left.
In his mom's room, Amrit settled Sahiba on the bed and gave her some afterparty pills, which help the person avoid a hangover the next day. Once she was asleep, he informed his mom about the revised sleeping arrangements and went and slept too...
How judgemental is this guy?! He has been cheated- ok but he is way too quick to draw wrong conclusions. I hope he regrets sincerely when he realizes he once again mistook a brother for a boyfriend. First param now Amrit.

Ya, he is arrogant too, he is slow to retrospect but will eventually....If I can I hope to create a story where he falls harder too.
He is not very likeable very now. its sad he was cheated but his arrogance is too much. I hope he gets a reality check.
Amazing chapters…I suspect that Angad will do something with Sahiba based on misunderstanding he has about her…
Excited to read more
