Mumbai, India
Today it was the mehndi ceremony of Aisha and his fiancé, and as decided it was going to take place in Aarav's home. So it was packed with guests, the ladies were sitting in the back lawn which was decorated, the sitting area was made for the bride and others so that they could apply mehndi on their hands, the henna artists didn't got a since second to breathe.
Some ladies were sitting on the carpeted lawn and were playing dholak, the kids running around, the males were sitting inside the living area which was also decorated beautifully, the helpers serving drinks were also dressed up nicely.
Aarav who had gone to get ready really late after the arrival of the guests came down in bottle green shirt and white shalwar, his bruise has become really good now all thanks to Misha who never made him miss the application of his ointment, also doing the ice massage.
Right now coming down the first person Aarav looked for was Misha as he didn't got the time to talk to her since night as their family was staying and they couldn't sneak out with all the work. While looking for him Aarav came to the back garden and he sighed a breathe leaning to the door frame.
There stood Misha laughing and dancing in the centre with his paternal aunt's daughters and his sister, while Aisha was enjoying while sitting. Misha wore a pink full sleeve blouse with a pink colored lehngaher hair opened on her back amd her ears shining with the heavy earrings.
Standing there and looking at her he felt so lucky to have that girl in her life. As Aarav was admiring his girlfriend, his paternal uncle's daughter, who had some kind of lust with Aarav came to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Aarav."
Aarav looked at her and scoffed at ut, he gently remove her hand greeting her back.
"Hey Radhika."
"Seems like we are coordinating today."
Radhika spoke and then Aarav saw they wearing the same shades of dresses
"Coincidence."
Aarav spoke and look ahead by now Misha was sitting with his sister who made her look at Aarav and Radhika, Misha looked at them and said something to Aisha who glared at her.
"You know Dad is finally going to talk to your father for us."
Aarav raised his one eyebrow and looked at Radhika for a second who was having a smirk.
"First of all, There is no us, and secondly I will never agree to any kind of bullshit. So kindly keep some distance, you see I respect you but I hate the way you ogle me. So next time see the limits."
Saying so Aarav came towards Aisha leaving a seething Radhika behind. Aarav sat beside Aisha on her left while her right was taken by Misha.
"Looks like you made her have a shut up call."
Aisha said to her brother who chuckled and looked at Misha's hand.
"Butterfly why your hands are empty?"
He asked slowly so that no one can listen. Misha looked at her hands and was about to say something but Aisha dodged her.
"I told her but she is not listening to me, I don't know why, you ask her."
Misha looked at Aarav and scrunched her nose telling him that she don't like the smell.
"Let me ask someone to add something to lessen up the smell okay?"
Misha smiled brightly at him, who smilingly walked inside while opening the google to see the remedies to lessen the smell of henna. When he found out he simply slipped in the kitchen and taking a spare packet of mehndi mixed it with rose water and added some essence in it, when he was sure the scent was nice he took the bowl and gave it to the helper who took it to Misha and she applied mehndi on her hands and also writing Aarav's name in a hidden way.
"Aarav."
Aarav looked at his father who came to him along his brother.
"You said something to Radhika?"
He asked further and Aarav sighed before telling him that.
"Dad I hardly be with someone and she always tries to say something that is not nice. And today she told me that uncle wants to talk to you about me and her marriage and I just told her that I don't want to marry her, that's all."
Aarav's father looked at her brother who told him a whole new story, after that Aarav slipped away from there. He looked at Avyansh who was talking to thr groom and joined them in the conversation.
.....................
Aarav was sitting on the terrace swing looking at the sky while Misha silently walked behind him and closed his eyes. Aarav inhaled her scent and smiled.
"Butterfly."
Misha pouted and came in front him.
"You always get me."
Aarav chuckled and holding her hand made her sit on his lap on the swing. He then moved his face in her hair and rubbing the tip of his nose on her neck sniffed her, placing a soft kiss on her nape he told her.
"I missed having you in my arms."
Misha giggled hugging him from his neck with his face still hidden in her hair inhaling her scent, the duo sat there in silence for a while before misha pulled her hands from his neck and spoke.
"Aarav."
Aarav hmmed and Misha continuted.
"Look at my henna and search your name."
Aarav pulled back from her hair with her hair sticking to some placing on his face.
"You wrote my name?"
Misha smilingly pulled away her hair strands from his face who pouted, misha pecked his pout before showing him her hands.
"Find your name."
Aarav hugged her making misha keep her head on his chest, aarav moved his fingers on her right palm and started to find his name. In a few minutes Aarav found his name written in the centre of the palm.
"It was an easy one."
Saying so he looked down at Misha who raised her face entwining their hand.
"It was not an easy one, the girl hide that perfectly, you just found out easily."
"Really?"
Aarav said softly rubbing their nose together, misha giggled and aarav smiled before Misha told him.
"I should have asked her to hide it more expertly, at least I would have gotten a gift."
"Huh?"
Aarav frowned and misha told him still looking up at him.
"Some auntie told us that if the husband or the person who's name is hidden in the henna won't be able to find ut he have to give a guft to the girl or bride."
Aarav chuckled and kissed her forehead saying.
"I can give you a gift just like that, you don't have to do this."
Misha still pouted and moved her hand to crease the area where Aarav had a bruise.
"Butterfly, talk to avyansh, don't ignore him, I am fine."
Aarav asked Misha who is not talking to her brother since he made a bruise on Aarav's face, Avyansh knew about his sister's anger and didn't said anything but Aarav wanted them to be fine.
"He hit you."
"Yes, but that was between us as friends, now please, for me, he won't come to you knowing your anger but both of you never been like this ever in your life, just like him you are also missing him."
Misha hmmed and hugged him who hugged her back kissing her head. They closed their eyes and soon sleep took over them in the open night, Avyansh who had come upstairs to have some air, but as he saw the duo talking and laughing, he moved back down but let out a prayer for them, thou he didn't wanted all this to happen but now he wants them to be happy together, away from all the bads.
