Chaitra

I talked to Seema's mom about our plan and she agreed after some time. I didn't want to lie to her and honestly, there is no need to.

One of the groom's cousins spoke to his mom and she too agreed after all of us pleaded with her. We took them both out without revealing our plan and gave our surprise. They were elated. We came back giving them some privacy.

"Chaitra beta can you all make rangoli?" Seema's mom asked us as soon as we entered the home.

"Okay, Aunty we will do it after changing!" I agreed with a smile.

"Wear something traditional beta! Groom's grand maa is coming!" She said smiling and left us.

"Why she is coming di?" Aakansha asked mirroring my exact feelings. She still thinks the girl's family should please the grooms' and fulfill all their demands. She thinks even we are bound to agree to all her demands.

"Maybe to make us go insane!" Akshaya said clearly irritated with her arrival.

"We can't stop her. It's her family. Let's get changed!" I said to them with a sigh.

"Okay!" They both whined. We three are staying in Seema's room as there are many guests and few rooms.

We changed into traditional clothes as requested by Aunty.

We got to work and drew a few rangolis starting with a rangoli of Lord Ganesh and drawing a few more.

"Di! It's beautiful!" Akshaya said adoring the rangoli we made.

"We did a great job!" I said looking at her.

"No di! You did a great job! I just helped." She said eyes never leaving the rangoli.

"No we both did it. But let's complete all this before they come." I said and she nodded in agreement and we both moved to our next spot.

Soon the devil grand maa entered and nodded in approval looking at our rangoli. But the one with her had determined to create problems for us.

"Dadi see there are only a few colors in Rangoli! They don't have colors or what?" He asked dramatically trying to rail up the angry woman.

"We are making rangoli, not a rainbow that we will add all 7 colors!" Akshaya said angrily.

"See dadi this girl is talking back to your dear grandson!" He again stated in his dramatic tone which is quite irritating now.

"Why? Being her grandson makes you president of India?" Akshaya is arguing again but he seems to enjoy it.

"Akshaya leave it!" I said not wanting to anger Grandma which may land Seema's family in trouble.

"Add more colors!" He said again and I take back my decision now. I will add colors now. But not to rangoli!

I took Akshaya's hand in mine and walked away.

"Di where are to taking me?" Akshaya asked looking at me confused.

"To add colors to his life!" I said with a mischievous smirk on my lips rubbing my hands together.

"Di are you planning something?" She asked getting excited.

"Of course! How can we not fulfill our guest's wish?" I asked with the same smirk.

"I am in!" she squealed in joy.

I explained my plan and we soon started executing it.

Seeing him alone we asked a kid to ask him to come to a room as the groom was looking for him.

As soon as we saw him walking towards the designated room I spilled some oil on the floor while Aaradya made sure there were no sharp items that may hurt him when he fell.

Soon he walked in and we hid behind the curtains.

"Bhai! Bhai you called me?" He asked walking in and slipping as soon as he stepped on the oil. He landed on a plate full of color as we planned.

"What the heck?!" He screamed and we came out from the curtains laughing holding our stomachs.

"Ayyo! We are here to get some color to add to rangoli as you prescribed but here you added it to your face!" I said between my laugh.

"By the way di why did he lose his face color despite being covered in color?" Akshaya asked looking at him. She is having tears in her eyes due to laughing.

"You both did this, Didn't you?" He asked gritting his teeth.

"What did we do? You fell on your own!" Akshaya replied in her most innocent tone.

"It's okay! I will get my chance." He said looking at both of us and was about to walk out but came back again.

"But you look so cute while laughing!" He said to Akshaya making her blush a little. But soon we started laughing again looking at his face print on the plate.

"Why are you laughing like mad?" Abhishek asked walking into the room.

"Woh... we..." We were trying to explain amid our laughs but we saw a few more people entering the room. Daksh and his remaining cousins and his friend whom I met last time are here. This Seema donkey invited all of them and forced them to come by interfering every time they met. She even spoke to them over the phone when they were talking to Abhishek. She is doing all this because she is a fangirl of Ronak! This girl embarrasses me every time with her behavior around him(Daksh).

When I saw Daksh walking in I could not avert my gaze. He is looking smoking hot in his attire which made me feel something strange. Everything suits him perfectly as if they are made for him. His blue eyes are hypnotizing me. His sharp jawline, his beard, his silky hair how can someone be this handsome? Chaithu! what are you thinking? I snapped at myself.

I saw Daksh walking towards the oil and before I could react he stepped on it and was about to fall...

... but Abhishek and Rohan sir held his both hands to prevent the fall.

They all looked at both of us(Me and Akshaya) once Daksh was fine.

"Why are you laughing so hard?" Rohan sir asked Akshaya who was still trying to control her laugh.

"What did you do this time?" bending a little Daksh whispered to me making my eyes go wide. How does he know I did something?

"Bhai woh..." Aakansha explained everything and I stood there covering my face with my palm. Why does my every prank get known to him? And why do all my friends make me feel embarrassed in front of him?

Now everyone was laughing at our prank and I escaped from there.
