OUR ARRANGED LOVE MARRIAGE

Chapter 44

As the days went by, the weather was turning colder and colder. The sun will be shining high in sky at noon but soon it will be hidden behind the huge fluffy clouds.

The wedding functions were coming closer and so were wedding jitters.
Most of the shopping were already done by the elders, just few outfits were left for Mehreen to chose by herself.

Mehreen was leaving along with Sahil for her dress shopping. She have to admit that Sahil have a great fashion sense!! Although she is a fashion student but sometimes she needs help with her outfits, and Sahil is always at her rescue!!

Both of them left early and decided to eat outside. Starting Mehreen's outfits selection.

" Haldi me let's buy something yellow!?" Sahil suggested and Mehreen agreed.
(In haldi let's buy something yellow!?)

Mehreen didn't wanted anything heavy for haldi because haldi ceremony will be a family affair.

Going through several outfits, Mehreen out-listed three. Seeing her still confused, Sahil shook his head and picking up the fourth dress he passed that to her.

" This one looks best!" Sahil said.

" Pack this." Mehreen without even looking passed the dress to the counter.

" Now for Mehndi?" Sahil asked.

" Green." Mehreen stated.

Just like that all her outfits were decided and now both the sibling moved to the bridal section. It's time for her wedding lehenga.

Being a fashion student has its own cons. Mehreen didn't liked any of the lehengas. Some because of their colour combination and some because of the design.

" This one looks-" Sahil was saying something pointing at the heavy golden lehenga when his gaze stopped on Mehreen and his words stopped abruptly.

Mehreen was keenly looking at a mannequin on the display. Sahil followed her gaze and to say he was amused wouldn't be a lie.

" You like that?" Sahil nudged her.

" Huhh??" Mehreen asked startled.

" Woh pasand aaya?" Sahil repeated.
(You liked that one?)

" Achha toh boht hai but.."
(It is nice but..)

" But kya?"
(But what?)

" That's not appropriate for a bride!"

" You like it or not?"

" I love it!"

" You wanna wear it on your biggest day?"

" Log kya kahenge??"
(What will people say??)

" Jo puchha woh btao. Haan ya naa?"
(Tell me what I asked. Yes or No?)

Mehreen looked back at the dress, closing her eyes she imagined herself in that and a wide smile spread on her lips.

" I will wear that!" Mehreen said confidently.

" Perfect." Smiling at her Sahil asked them for that specific dress.

" Pehle bta deti toh itna time nhi waste hota na." Sahil mock glared at her.
(If you had told earlier then so much time wouldn't have been wasted.)

" I was confused." Mehreen ran her hand on the fabric and smiled. That's exactly what she wished for.

" But, nice choice!! I like it." Sahil appreciated.

" Toh ye final kren?" Mehreen asked.
(So shall we finalize it?)

" Yes, ghr ammi abbu ko bhi dikha lete hain phir final krenge. " Mehreen agreed to Sahil and both of them took the dress after paying half amount.
(Yes, we will show Mom Dad at home then finalize it.)
