Chapter 1

Jiyaa… what are you doing? Look who is here.

Jhanvi came into room pushing the door.

Jiya was sitting on the couch with her laptop. she closed it as her mother came.

Jiya, look who is here. My mom said with a smile on her face.

I was so happy to see my best friend Soha behind my mom.

I jumped at once out excitement and hugged her tight. Soha I missed you lot.

I didn’t expect that you would be. Thank you, thank you so much.

Ooh come on Jiya, how can I miss your wedding. It will be the only day when my tigress friend turns into shy girl. Soha said while winking at me.

All of us laughed at Soha’s comment.

Soha, now am in a great relief that you are here. Please help me take care of this stubborn girl.

Ok girls you two carry-on, I need to receive guests. said Jhanvi.

She was about to leave and when she reached the door she turned back and said

By the way Soha, can you come out for a minute.

Jhanvi asked Soha and She followed her.

After a moment Soha came into the room.

What happened? What my mom said? I asked soha

It’s a secret. Winked Soha.

Oooh my…. Jiya. Just now I haven’t noticed, your looking really pretty in this salwar. Is that really you!! Soha widened her eyes with amusement. I guess this is the first time you are wearing this kind of dress. Am I right??

~Jiya’s P.O.V~

I was wearing this kind of dress for first time. I don’t want to wear this but mom insisted that I must wear traditional dress. Though reluctantly I changed to this, I felt really good looking in this yellow salwar. Mom was happy and said that I am the most beautiful girl that no one possibly take eyes off me.

Hmm… yes. I said with a low voice.

Heyy you. Here am complimenting you and you are not even looking at me. Said soha.

Nothing. I was just tired.

I didn’t dare to look at her. Am afraid that I may burst into tears if I see her.

Look at me dear. Tell me what happened? Soha held my chin to look at my face.

Jiya, what’s wrong? Why your eyes are red? Did you cry?

Now am unable to hold my tears any more. Tears were running out of my eyes.

Jiya, please tell me. Is there anything bothering you? Don’t forget that am your bestie. You can talk to me whatever it is. Soha is worried now.

Soha, I don’t know what’s going on here. This is not what I want. I said

Soha hugged me and said. Dear, first calm down. Please don’t cry.

She wiped the tears from my face and then went to check whether the door is closed.

Then she came back sat on the couch just next to me.
