Sometimes some fairy tales are nothing but wishful thinking...maybe the Prince Charming is actually Prince Cunning , or the Sleeping Beauty isn't willing to wait for a hundred years for him...
As far as Mira is concerned , marriage and love is bette...
" Mira , have you checked your luggage ?" Mom asked , running around my room , to inspect if anything is left behind.
This is inspection number three.
"Yes Mom," I shook my head , trying to type out an Email before Mom decided to make me recite the events in chronological order once again.
" Mira beta , did you ensure that all the stuff has safely reached the hotel? "
" Three days ago , Mom. " I didn't remove my gaze from the screen , " And the rest of my things have also reached Malhotra Mansion and the other house , too."
" How can you be so tranquil , huh?" Mom sat beside me , " We're leaving for Udaipur tomorrow!!"
" I know Mom. " I kept my head on her shoulder , " That's why I want to complete my work before taking my long vacay."
" Excuses , " Mom rolled her eyes , " When my marriage was going on , I was dizzy with excitement.'
" Were you?" I raised my eyebrows.
" Well , mostly. "
I chuckled and shut my laptop.
" Anyway , wait till we reach Udaipur. You'll be nervous once we land. " Mom smiled at that thought , and left the room.
Here's the thing wrong in Mom's statement : I was not tranquil , on the outside I was pretending , but in my mind there was huge turmoil of everything- expectations , emotions , excitement , fear and whatnot.
I swear I can't sleep today.

Next morning , bright and early Mom woke up everyone. I was one of the firsts to drag my sleepy self downstairs . Geeta Aunty , after a huge best if luck !!! gave me a cup of coffee.
" Jaldi karo , Behl Sahab!!" Mom hollered from her room .
" Samaira Behl , you better be ready!!" She yelled from the stairs.
Who gave Mom a whole packet of Gucon-D to drink this early ?
" Mira Behl!!" Mom stormed towards me. Here goes my plan of dozing off on the kitchen counter.
You can't blame me , okay?
It's three in the morning!!
" Mom, two minutes more, " I mumbled.
" Mira beta , my darling daughter," Mom cooed as she stroked my hair , " Don't make us late for the flight to your wedding."
I shook my head , and snuggled on the hard kitchen counter.
" Wake up!! " Mom shouted , " Am I the only person under this roof whose concerned about missing the flight??"
Eventually , I did wake up , take a shower ( after laughing to myself once ) and dress up into a casual blue anarkali suit that screamed ' sanskari' . Or so Mom says.
