Have you ever fallen in love? How does it feel? Is it as magical as people say? Well, I wanna know.... It's not that I haven't fallen in love. I have fell in love too. But it's a little bit different. I fell in love with a dream, to be exact with the person from the dream. And since then, everyday I've desperately waited for that dream to come true. Seven years.... I waited for seven years until that dream became my reality, until I saw him.... The man from my dream standing infront me. That day even the reality felt like a dream to me.
Just three days left until my big day. My family and my friends are arriving today. Three of my friends are coming along with my family. Harisa, Mimma and Jarin. Well, one of my, I mean Draya's cousin sisters recently married a very big star. And they are here for their honeymoon, so I invited them as well. Right now, I am on my way to pick up my family members and my friends with Naomi, Draya's cousin sister. Yeah, just us... No men, because it's not convenient for Naomi's husband to roam around and Raidan is busy with our wedding preparations.
We have been really busy ever since we have returned from USA. He specifically has been very busy... After our regular activities he's been making wedding preparations..... Like, taking care of the invitation cards, people who to invite and his dress up, my dress up, hair styles, food, venue and so on. He's also been secretive about something, I'm not sure what though, because he wouldn't tell. Well, as much as I love UK, but I can't help but feel frustrated that we feel really distant in UK, because while we were in USA we were getting really close. Maybe because in there we were alone but in here we have friends and a whole damn society who knows us, to disturb us.
"Apu, auntie", my sisters and my nephew ran towards me as soon as they saw me.
I embraced them in a very big hug. I missed them so much. Practically they have grown up having me around. Ohi, Roja, Arham.... They had me with them until I left my country. They all love me a lot.
"Awe.... I missed you guys", I said as I picked Arham up in my arms. Ohi, Roja they held my free hand. Soon my family reached us. I put Arham down and hugged everyone. My mom looked at me and I swear I could almost see tears in her eyes. My dad looked so proud when he looked at me.
"Congratulations", my dad said.
"You have lost weight", my mom said.
"Thank you. I also missed you all a lot", I said to them.
Draya hugged Naomi after hugging me. My friends hugged me... Specially Jarin. She and I, even though we have known each other for a short time... But we are really close. We are closest in the stupidest way.
"Babe, I'm so excited to meet my brother-in-law", Jarin whispered into my ear as she hugged me. I just gave her a wink as she let go.
"Guys, I officially welcome you all to England..... The land of kings", I laughed so did everyone else.
"I'll be your guide to my city through out your stay", I said with a smile.
"So, our guide... Where's our ride?" Joe asked.
I came in a really short notice, so I didn't had much time to prepare any ride. And calling taxies for so many people seemed like a bad idea. So, using my quick wit I called up Elvis to bring our bus to the airport. And by our bus I mean DT's bus.
"On its way" I said as I hugged Ayesha once again because she's looking at me like she wants another hug.
We waited in the cafeteria until Elvis arrived. I brought all the kids a lot of snacks, and drinks to the elders. Well, technically Draya, Natasha and Mason are also kids since none of them are over eighteen yet.
"5 people can come with us and if you squeeze in a little bit then we could easily fit 7 people. So, who wants to come", I said to them as soon as I got Elvis's text saying that he had arrived.
All the kids raised their hands. They aren't a lot. Joe wanted to come too but then she changed her mind. I had to take my friends along because I was afraid that they might get bored with my family. So, I asked my 3 friends to come with me and asked rest of them to go along with family in the bus. Ohi and Roja both of them started showing tantrums because they wanted to come with me. So I had to take them. Ayesha would feel alone without them so I asked her to come along with us.
"Disha apu, does it snow in here?" Ohi asked as she looked out of the window.
"Yes, sister, it does snow in here", I said to her.
"Can we eat the snow?" Roja asked.
"Of course. I could even make you ice-cream", I laughed.
"Naomi apu, why are you here? Are you also here for the wedding?" Roja asked Naomi.
"Yes Roja. But along with that I'm also here on my honeymoon", Naomi replied to Roja's question.
Actually Ohi takes time to warm up to people. Almost around everyone but me. And Roja is friendly to everyone.
"What's honeymoon", Ayesha asked.
"It's having honey watching the moon", Harisa replied to her.
And we all smiled biting back a laugh. Ayesha is really quiet and has all the qualities that a calm kid should have. She doesn't fight and always listen to everything you say to her. Ohi is also the type to listen but it depends on who is asking. Roja is the rebellious type. But all of them have really good hearts.
"So, guys!! How was your journey?" I asked my friends who were sitting in the back of the car.
"Fun".
"Exhausting".
"Great".
3 of them said at the same time. Unfortunately my friends won't stay long. They will leave on the weekend because they all have their classes to attend. This one week is the top they could give me. I don't mind because the fact that they came is already enough for me.
"Where will we be staying?" Mimma asked.
"I've booked hotels, don't worry. I've it all under control", I assured her.
"I wanna have that", both Ayesha and Roja said pointing out the window suddenly causing Naomi to stop the car. Well, of course Naomi was driving because I don't have my driving license yet. My test has been scheduled at the beginning of June.
We all got out to get them what they want and also to get some for other family members.
"By the way, it had almost slipped out of my head that we had to do grocery shopping", I said as Naomi restarted the car.
"Why?"
"Oh, the hotels in here are different. It's like inns. And you will have to cook for yourself", I said to them.
"On that note.... Does any of you want to stay with me? Or you guys are okay staying with my family?", I asked them.
"We are okay with everything. Your family members are nice people. They adore us a lot", Harisa said on behalf of them.
"But honestly who could have thought that Disha would be the first one to get married among us", Jarin said.
"Yeah, tell me....Remember how much I used to hate the idea of marriage? I can't believe that I'm actually getting married. That's also with Raidan!!" I said with a very shy smile.
"Yeah, I remember exactly how much complains you had regarding marrige", Mimma said.
The kids had fallen asleep. So I had to carry them from the car to the couch. I mean of course I had help.
