Warm Wedding

" Where is the bride? " I heard the sound of my best friend which made me almost blush. It's my wedding and it's impossible to believe. 

It's an arranged marriage and that's the reason I never saw the groom. I know his name. Gaurav...... 

" Here she is. " Jiya said while standing behind my chair and I smiled. I never thought that this day would be so early. I have finished my graduation and was enrolled in cooking classes. I don't know whether the groom's family will ever allow me to work. 

I am dead nervous today and it's indescribable. 

I bit my lower lip and looked up at her through the mirror. 

" O my god. You look gorgeous. Gaurav won't be able to move his eyes. " Jiya said and that made me blush even more. I stood up from the chair and adjusted my lehnga. 

I looked at her and sighed while looking at my lehnga. 

" What happened? Is it too heavy" She asked and I nodded my head. 

" It's okay. It will be worth it. " She said and I smiled. I saw my father entering the room. He smiled while looking at me and I smiled back. 

" You look gorgeous, my daughter. " He kissed my forehead and we started walking towards the Hall. 

I gasped when I entered the Hall. It was filled with numerous people. Many faces were unfamiliar. I could identify one, three or four members. 

" Navi, take your steps forward. " My dad whispered and I followed. I took my steps towards the stage where the ceremony is going to be held. I saw a smart man standing in black tux. I blushed while looking at him. I may have never met him but I have seen his photograph. He is Gaurav. 

He looked at me and his eyes widened. He smiled while looking at me and that encouraged me to walk further. As soon as I reached the stage he held my hand. 

" You look beautiful. " He said and my friends started shouting while teasing me. 

I nodded my head while blushing. 

" Am I not looking handsome? " He questioned and I opened my mouth while shaking my head. I wanted to say a lot but it wasn't possible. 

" Thank you for your unspoken compliment. " He said and I smiled while looking at the floor. 

" Call my name once. " He whispered and my eyes widened. I looked at him bewildered. My lips parted and my breath heavily. 

" Come on. Tell. " He said a little annoyedly and I stared at him. I looked at my friend and she nodded her head. 

" Jiju, Navi can't speak. " She said and his eyes widened indicating the less knowledge he had about me.
