Oh God Angad is so judgmental, he already misunderstood Param as her BF & now her cousin too.
I am sure he will blast on her the next day, hoping to see Saheba slapping him hard 👋

Can't wait for the next part
CHAPTER 8 - THE WEDDING DAY
Sahiba had got up late and was heading towards the breakfast setting. Post breakfast there was going to be the Choora and Kaliere Ceremony and then everyone was going to get ready for the baarat in the late afternoon. As she was on her way, she met Amrit veerji...
'Hey stop, how are you feeling'
'Perfectly fine veerji, thanks to you' she smiled up at him.
He ruffled her hair and said 'Acha listen, I had brought a wedding gift for Seerat and have handed it over to her and want to give you your gift...' saying that he took out a long jewellery box from his pocket....it was a beautiful diamond tennis bracelet....'let me make u wear it....you can wear it today' saying that he took her hand and draped it around her hand.
'Veerji this is too much, I am sure it's quiet costly, I am not getting married, why for me, I can't take it'
'Chup kar, warna ek chaped lagaonga.....yeh teri bhabhi neh bheja hai...think of it as a shagun for our soon to be born kid also' ....
Sahiba gave him a hug. Sahiba headed towards the breakfast place and Amrit went to his room to prepare for the Choora ceremony.
As Sahiba was walking, Angad suddenly blocked her way...she stopped just before bumping into him. She looked up to find him glaring at her....surprised...she tried to move aside but he would not let her go....before she could say something...he said..
'You sold yourself too cheap you know....'
Sahiba was confused....thought he must be hungover or something 'what do you mean'
'For this innocent face....I would have for sure given you a necklace for your one night stand, but you were ok just with a bracelet'
It took few seconds for Sahiba to comprehend what he meant, she was enraged and lifted her hand to slap him.....'How dare you'
Angad held her hand before she could actually hit him..'Don't ever try this again......' He said menacingly. 'I am only speaking the truth and what I saw...'
'You don't know anything and who are you to judge me' asked Sahiba angrily...
'You are Seerat's sister and your actions reflect on our family too....hence you better take care now' he threatened her..
'What I do and don't do is none of your business, now or ever and had you not been Seerat's di's brother in-law, I would have got you the bashing you deserved! Next time, you better maintain your distance from me or the slap will be a reality and don't you dare touch me ever! Sahiba snatched her hand from his grip and walked off with tears in her eyes...
She was extremely upset and felt like crying. Who the hell did he think he was and was judging her to be a golddigger, even when she was staying away from him. It was good that she was late for breakfast, otherwise everyone would have fussed over her tears.....she was so upset that she skipped breakfast, went to her room, calmed herself down.
He was a monster and it was unfortunate that Seerat Di would have to tolerate him everyday she thought...but she had Garry to take care of her, Sahiba consoled herself. She did not want to ruin the day but if he tried anything else, she was going to tell Param and Amrit Veerji and get him beaten up!
CHOORA CEREMONY
Sudha Maasi, Maasa and Amrit veerji had got a beautiful pink and white choora for Seerat di. Their small family was gathered in the hall and Amrit veerji dipped the choora in milk and then made Seerat Di wear the same. Once done, it was covered. It was a very emotional moment as it highlighted the fact that Seerat was soon going to leave them, all of them did a pre wedding mini crying session.
It's time for Kaliere said Maasi excitedly and made Sahiba and any other young girl she could find around sit for the same. Kiara and Ekam had also joined in....Sahiba did not want to, but Mummy said as is there are not enough girls, just sit for now! Sahiba was last in line and it did not fall on any of the other girls and Sahiba was relieved, chalo does not look like it's going to fall. But she spoke too soon....as fate would have it, when Seerat shook her hands above Sahiba's head ! A leaflet detached itself from Seerat's Kaliere and fell right on top of Sahiba's head....
Mummy was ecstatic.....'Oh thank you babaji' she exclaimed and everyone around also cheered in excitement, everyone other than Sahiba...
KAAJAL AND BAARAT
As Garry did not have a sister in-law yet, his mamijis performed his Kaajal ceremony. He was looking dashing is a golden shrwaani, pink sehra and a beautiful emerald necklace.....
The brars started the Baaraat and everyone had great time dancing...everyone but Angad...he had done what he wanted to do...but it did not give him the satisfaction that he thought he will get. He was still upset and angry.
ANAND KARAJ
Seerat was looking divine in her golden gharga, with a slight tinge of pink. She was wearing very heavy jewellery and did not look less than a princess. Garry felt his heart swell when he looked at her, it felt as if this was the moment he had been waiting all his life for.....
Seerat was very nervous but one smile from Garry and all her doubts flew...
They took the lavaan pheras holding each other's hand....
They are so perfect for each other, thought Sahiba, she just prayed that ATM and his negativity did not influence their relationship. She was looking beautiful in her golden ghagra, her head covered.
It was soon time for the vidaai and it was a very Sombre moment for the Monga family. Most of the brar family members had gone ahead and Garry and Seerat were going to leave in a car driven by Angad, accompanied by Veer.
Seerat hugged everyone and it was Sahiba's turn....Sahiba cluthed seerat and gave her a tight hug....the actual reality of her sister leaving was more painful that she had thought it would be.
'Don't cry Sahiba, we will send Seerat quiet often to meet you, or you know what, I love your cooking, so will most probably call you often to save me from Seerat's cooking' joked Garry, evoking a laugh out of her....
'She was not going to visit Seerat di, thought Sahiba...the thought of confronting that man again was not something she wanted to repeat. Seerat said her final goodbyes and left....Ajit hugged Sahiba as he saw his elder daughter leave..
BRAR HOUSE....NEXT DAY MORNING
The brars had done a grand welcome for Seerat, doing all her rituals with pomp and granduer. The young couple greeted everyone in the hall next day morning. All their out of town guests had left the night before and would join them for the reception after a week. Seerat was beautifully dressed and looked like a new bride, that she was.
Seerat had to do her pehli rasoi and was very nervous as she did not know how to cook very well. But with guidance from her mother in law she managed to cook something decent and everyone gave her her shagun. From earrings to pendants to chains, everything expensive and beautiful.
'Looks like we will survive' joked Garry after trying the halwa....making everyone laugh.
'seerat, you need to get ready, your brothers are going to come and pick u up' said bebe.
'What! For what? She just came yesterday.....' exclaimed Garry.
'Because her halwa was not upto the mark, we are sending her back so that she can learn proper cooking and come' said Bebe sternly.
'What!' Garry looked scandalized....he had waited for so long for her and now!
'Chill Garry, she will be going for her pagphera and you and your cousins need to go to her house tonight to bring her back' said Jaspal mamaji, laughing.
Garry sighed his relief...
'Where are you going Angad' Daarji called, seeing Angad walking away.
'Office Daarji'
'Wait, Seerat's brother is going to come and pick her, it will be good if everyone is around and you need to accompany Garry tonight and goto their home for Dinner.'
'But Daarji what will I do there....it's Seerat's pag phera and Garry is going' Angad did not want to go anywhere near that woman.
'It's a ritual for all cousins to accompany the groom and Monga Sahab has asked all his cousins to join, and that's final' said Daarji, signaling Angad to stop with his hand. 'Ensure you come home early in the evening'
Before he could argue further Param and that other Man walked in. Angad was extremely angry seeing that gentleman in his house and was in two minds to punch him when Seerat went and greeted them both. The man hugged Seerat and shook Garry's hand. Though everyone had seen him in the wedding, there had been no time for formal introductions....
And he is......asked Jasleen.
'He is Amrit Veerji, our Sudha Maasi's son' said Seerat, shocking Angad. She completed his introductions to everyone in the family, upon his turn Angad just gave him a curt nod.
As everyone was chitchatting, they asked Amrit why he was leaving so early and how come he came all the way from Canada for so few days.
'Well I don't have any real sisters and Seerat and Sahiba are my real sisters...infact more than real. When they were born, I used to spend more time at Maasi's house playing with them than at my home...they are my babies....I moved to Canada just few years ago, otherwise my wife and I were both quiet close to both the girls. I cannot stay for long as my wife is expecting but I could not not come, my wife is quiet upset she could not come. She will surely join in when Sahiba gets married' finished Amrit.
Every word uttered by him gave Angad a feeling of guilt. I jumped to a conclusion too fast he thought ..maybe he needed to apologize. If it was the 8 year before Angad, he would have apologized at the slightest mistake but this Angad found it against his grain to apologize....'its not as if she is completely innocent, its just that he judged her wrong in this particular incident' thought Angad....but maybe still he needed to apologise....the Dinner tonight may give him a good opportunity to say a quick sorry he concluded magnanimously, not realising how arrogant, biased and conceited he was behaving.
PAGPHERA AND DINNER
Sahiba was going to do the entire cooking herself and she was an excellent cook. All her preparations were done. Their dining table was set, where all the brars were going to sit down for the Dinner, the drawing room and the Verand was all tidied up and decorated. They were making an authentic punjabi dinner and phirni, Sahiba's speciality.
'Ummm whats that amazing smell' said Seerat as she walked in. Sahiba rushed to hug Seerat....
Everyone surrounded seerat, hugging her by turns. They all sat down and interrogated Seerat about her welcome at the Brar Mansion. Santosh let out a sigh of relief hearing the love and affection Seerat was receiving at the Mansion....somewhere deep in her heart she had a doubt about how Seerat would settle down in her new home, specially given their social differences, but listening to her, all her doubts were cleared and she thanked Babaji with all her heart. If only Sahiba also found a good family and a good guy, who loved and valued her, then she was sorted.
Sahiba followed Seerat in their room as Seerat went to freshen up....'so how was it'
'How was what' asked Seerat removing her jewellery and donning her old nightsuit.
'You know what I mean......your first encounter' teased Sahiba
Seerat started blushing when she understood and came and pulled Sahiba's ears
'Owww'
'You are a curious cat....if you are so curious...get married asap.....and anyway......how do you know it was my first encounter' teased Seerat back, laughing at Sahiba's astonished expressions.
Sahiba pestered Seerat till Seerat kicked her out of the room to catch up on her sleep and locked the room, threatening death to anyone who tried to disturb her!
EVENING SAME DAY
Everything was ready, the house was looking all decked up in flowers and lights, the food was ready and would be served piping hot and there was a feeling of an excitement in general. Seerat was looking beautiful in a pink saree, with a designer blouse, wearing the diamond necklace that Amrit Veerji had gifted her. Amrit veerji had a late night flight so his family had spent the day with them but left for now.
Sahiba did some final touches to the food and went to her room to get ready. She was wearing a salwar suit, blue in colour, which complemented her eyes beautifully. As she got ready she heard a lot of commotion and realised that the Brars had come....she quickly donned her earrings and went out and stopped in her tracks....
Khadoos had also come, he was speaking to her papa....how dare he come here she thought and wanted to slap him.... she stopped herself. It was Seerat Di's pagphera, maybe last time she would see him, she just needed to maintain her dignity today and leave this.
As she went in to greet the Brars, she consiously avoided looking at him. The younger brars were a noisy lot and were enjoying the welcome drink..Sahiba was going towards the Kitchen when Mummy stopped her, 'you have done enough since morning Sahiba, now come here and sit with them...Taaiji and I will manage the rest'. Sahiba did not want to but one glare from mummy and she sat down. She was trying to completely ignore him but looked like he was trying to catch her eye! What audacity thought Sahiba.....
Ekam and Kiara were appreciating a beautiful painting on the wall in the hall and Seerat informed them that Sahiba had done the same, she was quiet an artist and took commissions at her shop...everyone gathered in the hall to appreciate her paintings.....
As everyone moved away, Sahiba was turning to go but he stopped her way....again! She looked up glaring at him....they were left alone in the hall....she was about to blast him...when she heard him say softly
'I am sorry'
Sahiba had least expected this 'what' she said surprised.
'I am sorry' said Angad looking uncomfortable.
'I cant hear you, what did you just say' She was going to make him squirm!
Insolent chit, she was deliberately making him say it again and again....he was going to say sorry and move but her attitude rubbed him the wrong way 'I said I am sorry, maybe I should not have said what I said' he replied arrogantly.
'Maybe.....you should not have said what you said?' asked Sahiba quietly.
'Ya, maybe I should not have.....but given your behavior that afternoon......it was natural for me to arrive at that conclusion...but anyway, I am sorry'
Sahiba did not know whether he was apologizing to her or insulting her further....before she could respond, Mummy called her to help serve the Brars.
They were going to serve the food in the kitchen itself, Sahiba had planned as asthetic presentation, hence she helped serve every plate before sending it out. Sahiba was fuming, she wanted to teach him a lesson and a sudden idea struck her. She picked up the red mirch powder and mixed a generous portion of it in his paneer. She called Param and gave him specific instructions to place this plate in front of him only! Param gave her a look and noticed the naughty twinkle in her eyes....'What are you planning' he asked skeptically.
'Nothing...just go...everyone is waiting' He was sure she was upto something but did as she bid.
'Wow this looks amazing' said Ekam and Kiara. They started eating....Sahiba was waiting for him to try the paneer which he had not till now......
'This is outstanding... the food is too good aunty' said veer.
'Thanks beta ji. Sahiba is the one who deserves this praise, she is the one who made everything'
She was not a bad cook thought Angad, actually she was excellent. He had not had such good food in ages. Finally he tried the paneer and.....his mouth was on fire!
He started coughing....he could not stand spicy food...as he was looking for water...
'What happened, you got mirchi....here have some water' she said, handing over the water glass to him...he happened to catch her eye.....she had done this delibrately! She was laughing at his expense! The witch!
His cough would not subside....Garry got worried, he knew Angad could not eat spice but was wondering what was spicy as nothing seemed spicy to him...
Param understood what naughtiness Sahiba had been upto....he pretended to spill water all over Angad's plate and hurriedly took it away, offering to get another one. Sahiba followed him to the kitchen and burst out laughing once she was in.... that was so much fun and well deserved....he will think twice before insulting her ever now.
'Why did you do that, it's so bad....he is coughing so badly' Scolded Param.
'Well he deserved it, always so arrogant and looking down upon his nose' Replied Sahiba.
Param did not let her touch the food this time and served a new plate....by the time they went out Angad's coughing had subsided...
He refused to eat more but Param convinced him that this was a new plate and he personally ensured that nothing was spicy this time. Angad gave Sahiba a glare and she gave him a smile in return.....
Post the Dinner Santosh served the phirni....Angad was sure she had done this delibrately.....cause no one else found the food spicy...only him....he will ensure she paid for this prank.....
' phirni....this is Angad's favorite' said Garry as he picked up a bowl.
Lost in his thoughts of how he was going to get back with her...Angad took a bite....and ...and forgot all about revenge. This was the best phirni he had ever had....and he loved phirni.....it could uplift his mood anytime.....'this is too good' he mumbled finishing his bowl....
'Take more beta' said Santosh happily...to Sahiba's irritation. Had she known he liked Phirni, she would have made something else!
Angad had couple of more bowls before he was satiated....his mood had uplifted quiet a bit and his thirst for revenge mellowed down...as they were leaving, he was glad he was not going to encounter the nuisance named Sahiba much now....
Good riddance thought Sahiba, seeing him leave. Had it been in her control, she would have put mirchi in the phirni also! The sweet taste of revenge had made her day though....she thought as she hummed her way back to the kitchen...
I will try my level my best...am writing for the first time and am just going with the flow for now....but my ultimate aim is to make him love her like crazy. If I can that is.
But want to thank all of you....when you all read my FF, I feel like writing more. Thank you so much 
I'm loving the FF and the writing. Its just that Angad has a long way to go before he can be likeable. Being cheated is sad but being an ass to everyone around him is not acceptable. So hopefully he will grow up and make us fall in love with him . Someone he respects and trusts need to show him a mirror
Oh my goodness, Angad the devil had been so mean to her, I am glad that Saheba took her revenge....
please please update soon and long updates please...
Finally finished till the 8th...and m literally loving ittt... Specially thag shower scene.. Ufff 🔥... That was my favorite..it literally gave me Darcy Elizabeth vibe from Pride and Prejudice movie... There's a scene where they fight and almost kiss 😍
...And then her adding mirchi to his food... Served him right!! How I wish they turned this FF into a short series... Coz it's serving 🔥🔥... Can't wait to see him fall head over heels for her... Waiting very eagerly for the next chapter... Pls update soon as time permits... And thanks a ton for writing this FF...
