I came to Udaipur in the morning after a five hour drive. The work of the restaurant is complete and is ready for an opening in the next few days . It's afternoon by the time I am going to my room .

Now I know who is marrying my stepbrother , she is the younger sister of Madhav Raj Singh Ranawat who four years back started a startup software company all on his own his company is on the list of top ten software companies in India and has a way with technology. He is the youngest businessman to join the Brotherhood Club and I have met him quite a few times.

I see his sister going towards the elevator . Her clothes fit her body like a second skin, her black lustrous eyes were blinking at me with surprise and innocence when she was clutching my hand as if her life depended on it. Her waist length hair. GOD She is breathtaking.

For fuck sake ! The last thing on my To Do list is to ogle my Halfbrother's fiance.

Fan Fucking Tastic!!

When my phone vibrated I took a leave from our conversation , it was Kakosa.

" Are you there at the hotel, we just left Jodhpur and will be there by evening. " He said . His nature is calm like an ocean with frequent outbursts as compared to his elder brother.

"Ok " I said and ended the call . The entire family will be hear by evening for the wedding before that I can make myself useful and reply to some emails.

The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. The sun is below the horizon now. The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. I looked up at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity. I have been notified about the arrival of my family now it's about dam time to show my momentary presence.

I enter the sitting area of the hotel where my family is present. To my surprise they were not looking happy about the wedding , all looked stressed .
My father is pacing the length of the room , his hair is a mess as if he was running his hand through his hair all day. Tears streaming down his wife's face.

The rest are busy on their phone maybe trying to call. I walked inside the room making my presence known, everyone 's acknowledged my presence and where back to their respective task as if I were the Invigilator and they were writing their board exams. I sat down beside Dadosa . When Kakosa said

" There is only one hour left in the wedding , aapke bete ka abhi tak kuch pata nahi "

(Nothing is known about your son yet.)

" Muje kay pata mai khud use Kab se call Kar raha ho , hum sabke saath he to aaya tha vo ." He said . Voice filled with disappointment and rage. Oh now the pieces are falling into place. The Groom Is Missing.

( Why do I know that I have been calling him for long, he is with us all so he came." )

"Media gate par khadi hai . Aur Mr Ranawat ko kay javab dege , kaha hai Dhula !!. Tumhare ladle bete ne meri naak Kat va di Shrikant . Pure khandan ka naam mitti mai Mila diya . Aab yahi din dekh ne baki reha gaye tha ."
