TRISHA'S POV
I was feeling normal again today . Since the past 2 days I was not well and Rohan taking care of me helped me get better .
Day after tomorrow is our engagement and today we are going to the engagement shopping . We couldn't earlier as I was unwell and now I am recovered .
Grabbing my wallet and phone I head downstairs .
I frown as I don't see chachi and Kavya anywhere . They were supposed to come with me today for shopping .
I see a staff walking by .
"Where are chachi and Kavya?",I ask .
"They both went with Vivek bhaiya and Jayesh ji to a relatives place",telling me that she leaves from there .
As much as I am happy they won't come with me to the shopping but now I have to lie to the Malhotra's about their whereabouts .
And they knew that we had to go shopping with the Malhotra ladies . They were purposly doing this .
Sighing I head out .
While I was walking to the bus stop I watch a car following me .
Stopping in my tracks I look closely .
It was a familiar car .
The window to the car opens and I see Rohan .
What was he doing here?
I go towards him .
"Come I will take you the mall",he says and opens the door for me .
I sit and close the door .
"You didn't informed me you were coming to pick me up",I say .
"I forgot to tell you yesterday that I would come too pick you up and your chachi and Kavya . I tried calling you but you didn't picked up",he says .
I check my phone and it was in silent mode .
"It was in silent mood sorry",I tell him .
"Btw why were you going alone where is your chachi and Kavya?",he asks .
"Chachi is totally busy with the preparations and something very urgent came up for Kavya at her work",I lie .
He nods and we then head towards the mall .
_______________
After Rohan drops me off I meet the Malhotra ladies and Aisha was there too .
"Where is your chachi and Cousin they didn't come?",Ridhima di asks .
"Chachi was too busy in preparations and something urgent came up at Kavya's work",I lie to them too .
"Okay then let's go",Arshi di says and we head towards a shop .
"Rohan has a pink shade kurti let's find you a pink lehenga too",Anika di says .
"Yeh you both can do twinning me and Yash did on our engagement day",Sakshi di says .
All agree and we ask the shopkeeper to show us Lehenga matching with Rohan's kurti .
We saw some lehenga's but didn't liked it .
"Show this one",Gayatri Aunty says .
It's weird to call Mrs.Gayatri and Mrs.Pallavi now . And for now only mine and Rohan's roka is done until our further functions I would like to call them Aunty .
The shopkeeper shows us that Lehenga Gayatri aunty asks him to show .
"This is beautiful bhabhi",Pallavi Aunty says and everyone agrees .
I love the lehenga .
"You could wear that jwellery with green colour moti on it , it will look so good",Sakshi di says .
"Yes you are right that would be perfect and I already planned your look in this lehenga",Aisha says .
Perks of knowing 2 fashion designers .
"This is really pretty",I say .
"Go and try it one",Arshi bhabhi says .
Nodding I go to try on the lehenga .
There was ready made blouse too so I wore the completed outfilt .
I look into mirror and it looks beautiful . Just some lil stitching is needed .
"Omg it's looking beautiful",Ridhima di says as soon as I show them and everyone agrees .
"Buy this!",they all say in unison making me chuckle .
"So it's final then",I say and read back towards the changing room .
When I go back to change after showing the lehenga to everyone I am shocked to find Rohan standing in front of me with his back leaning against the wall .
He realises I came out and looks at me from up and down .
"Is something wrong ? It dosen't looks good on me?",I ask .
"No ..no it's not that I was just speechless you are looking beautiful",he says .
I blush .
"What are you doing here ? Do everyone else knows you are here? And didn't you left after dropping me off?",I drop questions after questions .
He grabs my hands and pulls me into the changing room I was previously in and locks it .
"What are you doing Rohan?",I whisper .
"Just trying to do something",he whispers too .
"What?",I ask .
"Read one of your romance novel and read this scene where the male lead locks him and the female lead in the changing room of a mall",he whispers .
"Well Mr.Rohan Malhotra this isn't a novel but real life",I say .
"Well I could make it happen in real life",he says and grabbing me by my waist he pulls me towards him making both of my hands land on his chest .
"Rohan?!",I whisper yell .
"Shhh",he keeps one of his fingers on my lips telling me to keep quiet .
"I missed you",he says .
"We met yesterday",I say .
"I know but I couldn't stop thinking about you",he says I try to control my smile .
"Does anyone knows you are here?",I ask and he shakes his head in negative .
Before I could say anything he stops me by kissing me on my cheeks .
He the kisses the tip of nose and then kisses my forhead .
I was red like a tomato now .
And he was smiling down at me .
Hugging him I bury my face in the crook of his neck and he hugs me tightly .
"Trisha are you done?",it was Gayatri aunty .
Me and Rohan look at each other with wide eyes .
"Yes just this zip wasn't opening I will come out soon",I tell her .
"Do you need any help should I help you?",she asks .
"No no I will manage",I tell her .
"Okay come out I am waiting outside for you",she says .
I wait for her to go but it seems like she dosen't goes away from there .
I glare at Rohan who just smiles at me sheepleshily .
"Now what should we do ?" I mouth
"I need to change" , I tell him
He dosen't says something for a while .
"Tell her to call anyone from the bhabhi's", he says and I realise his idea .
I nod .
"Trisha are you done?",Gayatri aunty asks .
"Yea aunty but can you call Anika di or someone and tell them to bring one more lehenga I want to try one more",I say .
"Okay wait I will go and bring it to you",saying that I hear her footsteps walking away .
I sigh .
"Now you go",I say .
He nods and opens the door . Peeking out he sees if someone is there and goes and hides in another empty changing room .
As soon as he goes Arshi di comes with a lehenga .
I take it and just try it even though I was gonna buy the one I wore previously .
I show them the lehenga I tried which Arshi di brought for me but they said to buy the previous one also .
I change into my own clothes and before going out I check the price of the lehenga I was gonna buy .
20,000 was it's price . It was expensive but I could use some money from my savings .
Going out others also select some lehenga's for them too .
At first they were going to pay for my lehenga but I told them that I will only pay for it . They kept insisting that they will pay and I kept refusing . At last they gave up only after making me promise they will pay for my wedding lehenga .
When we head out of the mall I see Rohan waiting waiting for us .
"This guy won't leave her for few hours",Anika di says and everyone chuckles .
"Yeh lo jao leke isko kuch ghante nai rukh sakte kya?",Sakshi di says while Rohan just smiles at her sheepleshily .
[ Take her with you now can't wait for few hours?]
Rohan holds my hand and we both walk towards his car .
"Don't try to pull that type of stunt next time",I say .
"I won't but it was fun",he says . I glare at him while he justs laugh at me .
Suddenly I bump into someone .
"I am so sorry",I and the person who I bumped into say at the same time .
It was a man .
I look at him and find him looking at me with a shocked expression .
"Excuse me",Rohan says he hands gripping mine .
The man comes out of his thoughts .
"I am sorry but Trisha is that you?",the man says .
How does he knows me ?
"How do you know me?",I ask .
"You don't recognise me ? I am Arjun your bestfriend rememeber I went to abroad for few years?",he says .
And my eyes widen .
No way this is Arjun ?
My childhood bestfriend ?!
"No way Arjun is that you ?",I say and he nods .
We both hug I could feel Rohan glaring at us .
"Rohan this is Arjun my childhood bestfriend and Arjun this is my fiancé",I introduce them .
They shake hands .
"You are getting married?",he asks shocked and I nod smiling .
"Omg congratulations",He says .
"Thankyou",Rohan and I thank him .
"What about you ? Are you married ? Or still single?",I ask .
He smiles blushes .
"I see there is someone",I say .
"Well yes I have a girlfriend she is Indian too and we met in Newyork and have been together for 7 years now",he tells him .
"Omg 7 years that great!",I say .
I look at Rohan now he looks fine .
Was he jealous before Arjun revelead he wasn't single ?
I smile internally I will definately tease him later .
"Is your girlfriend here in India too right now?",I ask .
"Yes we shifted back to Mumbai now",he tells me .
"That means you are staying here permanently now?",I ask and he nods happily .
"It's so good we should catch up later",I say .
"We should I will introduce my girlfriend to you too",he says and I nod .
We exchange numbers and bid good bye to each other .

It was finally the engagement day .
The hair artist and makeup artist were doing their work on me .
After they were done they they helped me wearing my lehenga .
I look at myself in the mirror and feel good .
Smiling I thank the hair and makeup artist and they both leave .
Going down I see Chacha , Vivek , Chachi and Kavya . They just came out of their rooms .
They don't say anything to me for which I am grateful .
They haven't talked to me since 2 days and only talked regarding the functions .
That was weird but I am glad they aren't talking to me and aren't making me work .
We leave to the Malhotra Mansion .
_______________
Reaching we were greeted by the Malhotra's .
Other than the Malhotra's I see Anika di's friends and their husbands whom I saw at the party . Anika di's sister was there . Sakshi di's brother and bhabhi , Arshi di's family , Aisha ,Mr.Yash's 2 friends whom I saw at a party and a man whom I don't recognise .
I look at Rohan who was already look at me .
"Beautiful",he mouths and I smile .
We enter the garden and Rohan holds my hands and takes me to the man whom I didn't recognise few minutes ago .
"Trisha this is Vedant Mehta my one and only bestfriend and Vedant this is Trisha",Rohan introduces us .
"Finally I met you Rohan keeps talking about you",he says making me smile shyly .
"Nice to meet you too",I say .
"You look more beautiful in person than photo",he says .
I blush and Rohan smacks vedant on his head .
"What I was just complimenting my future bhabhi",he says but Rohan just glares at him .
I feel a tap on my shoulder to find Arjun .
"You came!",I say and side hug him .
"Ofcourse I won't miss my bestfriend's wedding",he says .
There was a pretty girl with him .
"Trisha this is Janvi my girlfriend",Arjun introduces us .
"Nice to meet you",I say and hug her she smiles and hugs me back .
Rohan greets them too and then proceds to talk to Vedant about something while I talk to Arjun and Janvi .

Rohan and I go and stand infront of each other .
Anika di brings the rings .
Rohan was about to take the ring he was gonna make me wear .
"Aare Rohan sabar karo bhabhi kidhar nai jaane waali hai",Rishi says making everyone laugh while Rohan blushes .
[Rohan wait she isn't going anywhere]
"Dekho kaise sharma raha hai",Rajiv uncle says .
[Look how he is blushing]
We make and eye contact and I try not to laugh out loud .
"First Trisha will make you wear ring then you will make her wear the ring",Naitik uncle says .
I take the ring and make him wear it everyone claps .
He quickly takes the ring and makes me wear it making everyone laugh .
Everyone claps once again
