***Sahana's P. O. V***

"If both of you want the same design, it's okay we'll get two sets of the same type... but we want you to wear them out now... once.." ma trailed off, looking from me to Ahana bhabhi.

But before either one of us could say anything, Arush and bhai had spoken together, yelling "I call dibs on that one!" indicating the lehengas.

{P.S - the lehengas I have described are almost like these -

The first one -->

The second one -->

}

Ahana Bhabhi and I gaped at one another, before looking at our respective beaus, and then at the lehenga. Both of them were pointing at the yellow and off-white lehenga {the first one } and both were glaring at one another.

"Hey you're getting married first so it's only fair that I get the lehenga that I want! I want to look beautiful... in that lehenga!! And I don't want my sister to wear that lehenga because I want it!!" Arush spat, glaring at bhai.

"Yeah right!! I won fair and square!! And just because I'm getting married first, doesn't mean I don't want to look beautiful either!! I want that lehenga!! I too want to look beautiful in that lehenga!! I too don't want my sister wearing it because it's mine" bhai hissed back at Arush.

Was I hearing it all right?! I turned to look at Ahana Bhabhi, who too was blinking her eyes in confusion, as she stared from bhai to Arush, before turning to look at me.

We both held each other's eyes for a second before bursting out in laughter. Our laughter was echoed by our parents, and Dhyan jiju and Anjali di's parents, and a few of the staff from the mall who were showing the sarees and lehengas to us.

Bhai and Arush gaped at one another, and then at us, a look of total confusion etched on both their faces.

"You want that lehenga for yourself Arush?" I asked, barely able to control my giggles.

"Yes of course!" Arush said indignantly, glaring at me.

"And you want to look beautiful in that lehenga Rey?!" Ahana Bhabhi asked bhai as she indicated the lehenga.

"Yes I do!!" bhai said hotly, glaring at Ahana Bhabhi.

There was a split-second's silence in which realization dawned upon bhai and Arush, before both of them turned red in embarrassment and started spluttering .

"Go on Arush... wear that lehenga!!" I giggled, barely able to sit straight because I was laughing so damn much!

"Oh every bride deserves to look beautiful on her wedding day!! You'll make a very pretty bride Rey!!" Ahana Bhabhi cooed as she pinched bhai's cheeks, before she too burst out laughing.

"I...you..." bhai and Arush spluttered while the rest of us continued laughing like no tomorrow.

"I wanted you to have that lehenga!" Arush pursed his lips, once the laughter had subsided.

"Of course you did!" Arush's dad winked at me, before he burst out laughing again.

"Hey it's not fair alright?! Fine we had a slip of tongue but you get our point!" bhai said hotly, pouting at Ahana Bhabhi.

"We get your point, but do you get the point that it's our wedding as much as your's?!" Ahana Bhabhi asked, cocking here eyebrow at bhai.

"We too have wishes on how we want to dress for our wedding! As happy as we are on your involvement, at the end of the day, it is our wedding too... we too have desires on which lehenga we want, and which we don't want!" I said, smiling at Arush.

"But you'll look so pretty in that.." Arush pouted, looking adorable as he pointed at that lehenga.

"But I want to wear a saree... not a lehenga!!" I said, smiling at how adorable Arush looked with that cute pout on his face!

"And I want that flowery lehenga... not this plain one" Ahana bhabhi said, indicating the second lehenga to bhai.

"Saree?! But..." Arush began, but his mother cut him in.

"Uffo Arush!! Reyansh!! We all are okay if you both want to wear the lehenga... really... but let these two girls decide what they want for their wedding!" Arush's ma said, pursing her lips like as though she was controlling her laughter.

"You can't force your opinions on them... sure you want them to look pretty, but, they too have their desires on how they want to dress for their wedding" ma said, smiling at bhai, and then at Arush.

"Fine!" bhai and Arush pouted in defeat and Ahana bhabhi and I looked away from one another to stop from bursting out laughing again.

"Can you show us some sarees in yellow pastel and bright color combinations?!" ma asked one of the salesgirls, while Ahana bhabhi resigned to admire the lehenga that had caught her attention.

"I am not responsible for the consequences of your actions Sahana... don't say I hadn't warned you!!" Arush's breath fanned my ears before his teeth found my ear lobe. I bit my lip to stop myself from moaning or letting go off myself to his sweet torture.

"You'll look sexy in a saree... and I will be touching you!" he warned, before his lips found that sweet spot behind my ear.

"Arush!" I almost moaned as I moved a little away from him, my heart hammering in my ears as I looked at his determined yet passion filled eyes - he was a man of his words!

"How are these?!" the salesgirl's voice made me jump and I looked around at the sarees she'd put on display for me.

Oh the gorgeous sarees - so soft and so beautiful.... I chanced a glance at Arush, whose brown orbs had turned pitch-black with the passion and desire seething through them, his eyes flickering between the saree, and then at me.

"That one... the one with that grey and yellow color.... show that one please?!" Arush said to the salesgirl, indicating the beautiful soft silk saree with a soft-grey and gold body.

I gaped as the salesgirl unfurled the saree - simple yet so beautiful and so elegant - perfect!

"Can I... have this?!" I asked ma and Arush's mother, taking hold of the saree and rubbing the soft material against my cheek - I have never felt anything so soft and beautiful ever in my life!!

"Hmm.. that would look good on you!!" ma said dreamily as Arush's mother came to me and held the saree against me, to check how it'd look on me.

"Oh you look gorgeous!" she sighed, admiring the saree and then how it looked on me.

"Okay so I'll try this lehenga, and bhabhi can try this saree... and then if this looks good we'll decide on this?" Ahana bhabhi asked, getting to her feet with the lehenga in her hand.

"Hmm okay" ma and Arush's ma chirped, whilst a salesgirl came with us to show us the trial rooms.

"Bhai won't be able to keep his hands off you!! But poor bloke he can't even see you that day!" Ahana bhabhi winked as the three of us started our way towards the trial room.

Though my cheeks burned with blush, I turned to look back at Arush who had his hungry gaze on me, not once wavering away from me, making me blush even more if possible!

But then, I looked away, to find my brother looking at the same way at bhabhi's retreating form, looking like a love sick puppy - I swear he resembled that emoji with two hearts for eyes!!

"My bhai is no less!! Look at the love sick puppy" I winked at Ahana bhabhi, and it was now her turn to blush!

But without turning back, we turned towards the trial rooms - bhabhi going to the smaller one, before the salesgirl lead me to the large trial room with mirrors all around - to help me drape the saree.

It was a large circular room, with mirrors all around, except the door of course... We stood at the center, the salesgirl and me, as she started to drape the saree around me, with both our backs to the door.

It took a couple of minutes as I stood there, still dressed in my lehenga, whilst the salesgirl draped the saree neatly over my lehenga choli - man she's got skills!! If only I could drape a saree like this! The way she did it made it feel like it was as simple as buttering a toast - oh if only it were that simple!

Once done, I twirled on my feet, looking at my reflection on the mirrors all around me - it was a damn beautiful saree and I did look amazing! The saree fell neatly over my body, fitting my curves well - making me look like a damsel! It didn't even feel heavy, on the contrary, it felt light and airy and if sarees were like this I honestly have no problem wearing sarees like 24 x 7!!

"You drape sarees very well!!" I said to the salesgirl, unable to stop myself.

"Oh.. thank you!" the salesgirl beamed, blushing slightly.

"Can you teach me how to drape a saree like this?!" I asked, undraping the saree and thrusting it into her hands. The poor girl gaped at me in confusion.

"I'm sorry... it's just... I can drape a saree but not so well... and.. um.. I'm getting married..." I trailed off, blood soaking my cheeks as I recalled the memory of the last time I'd worn a saree - that was the time Arush and I had gotten intimate... and he'd said the saree turned him on!

Maybe the salesgirl understood what I said because she grinned cheekily at me, though blushing slightly as she said "Yes I understand... my husband too... he... that's how I learnt to drape a saree... for him" now blushing more than me!!

But we didn't speak much as she slowly draped the saree around me, showing me how to neatly drape it like she'd done the first time.

"So um... you had a love marriage?" I asked her as she started pleating the saree.

"No... arranged marriage.. but I grew to love him" she smiled, tucking in the pleats into my lehenga before neatly pleating the pallu.

I smiled at her, before the image of Arush gazing hungrily at me popped in my mind, making me blush.

"All done" the girl said, bringing me to reality. I blinked at her, before looking down at myself - ah the saree!!

Was it my imagination or did I really look that pretty?! I seemed to glow - it must be the lighting, right?!

"Well, sir won't be able to keep his eyes off of you" the salesgirl said cheekily, and as though on cue, blood gushed to my cheeks and I bit my lip shyly.

"Hmm yes, sir is surely unable to look away from you!" a giggling teasing voice issued in the background, and I looked around to find Ahana bhabhi standing at the threshold to the room, winking at me.

She looked wonderfully gorgeous in the lehenga choli - the yellow of the blouse making it seem like her skin glowed, and with a slight pink tinging her cheeks, she truly looked beautiful!!

Hang on, but why was she blushing, though her eyes twinkled in mischief?!

It took me a while to realize that the blush was because of the man who stood to her right, with his eyes stuck on her - my dear brother! Bhai was gaping at bhabhi with love and... passion... his eyes and his mouth hanging wide open as he shamelessly gaped at bhabhi - my my he'd surely have kissed her if not for... Arush?!

On Ahana bhabhi's left stood... Arush!!

With his handsome face reflecting shock and unmistakable desire, and his eyes and mouth too hanging wide open, Arush too gaped shamelessly - but at me, without even blinking! He was clutching onto a bundle on his hands, but what is it?! I'm not even sure he's breathing!! He looks funny... really funny... but why is blood rushing to my cheeks?!

Someone cleared their throat loudly, and I almost jumped, seeing the other person standing next to Arush - Raj.

Raj?! What is he doing here?! When did he come?!

"Hey look there's an insect flying into Arush's mouth!!" Raj giggled, but Arush stood rooted to the spot, still as a statue, still gaping at me.

"Aww!! Arush toh apne Arushi k khayalon mein khogaya hai!!" Raj said in a child-like voice before entering the room.

"Now let's see if Arush's mouth can sense a fly?!" Raj smirked, and before we knew it, he took a tissue from the nearby stand and turning it in his hands, twisted before slowly putting one end of it into Arush's mouth.

Arush still didn't stir, and still looked quite lost as he continued to gape at me - seriously what the fuck has happened to him?!

But Raj looked around till his eyes found bhai and a smirk curled his lips as he moved away from Arush. He looked like he wasn't interested in making fun of Arush at the moment, because fluttering into the room like a butterfly, Raj turned his attention towards bhai who still was gaping unblinkingly at Ahana bhabhi.

"And look at Rey baby here!! Aww he too is busy gawking open mouthed at his beau!! How lovely!!" Raj said in a dramatically dreamy voice whilst Ahana bhabhi and I exchanged smirks before quickly looking away.

Raj smirked and winked at me, before winking at Ahana bhabhi. He took the other end of the tissue in his hand and put it inside bhai's ear. Bhai shuddered and jumped, squealing like a little girl, whilst Raj quickly ran to stand beside me.

Ahana bhabhi and I roared with laughter as bhai blinked his eyes in confusion and looked around, his eyes finally landing on Arush, who looked dazed and as though he's just come out of a trance.

Bhai gaped at Arush, who gaped back at him, before they started glaring at one another.

"What the fuck was that?!" Arush hissed at bhai.

"Now now!! Language, Arush!!" Raj smirked, covering his ears.

"You?! Bloody fucker was that you?!" Bhai roared at Raj, who continued smirking at bhai and then at Arush as Ahana bhabhi too entered the room to stand next to Raj.

"I have two lovely and beautiful ladies in my company. So boys... mind your tongue!" Raj said coolly before circling his one arm around mine, and another arm around Ahana bhabhi's arm before the three of us coolly walked out of the room, trying hard not to burst out laughing!

"Both of you ladies do look lovely" Raj said softly, once we turned the corner and started walking along the long corridor that lead the trial-rooms to the main area.

"Thanks" Ahana bhabhi and I mumbled together, and I turned to look at Raj, whose eyes had gone unnaturally glassy!

"Raj?! What happened?" I gasped, stopping midway to look at him properly.

"Oh my God!! Raj bhaiyya!! Why are you crying?!" Ahana bhabhi too gasped, as she too stopped to turn and look at him.

"My boy is in love!! He's getting married!!" Raj choked, tears falling down his face now.

I gaped at Ahana bhabhi, who gaped back at me - we all have known Raj to be chirpy and smiling and pulling the boys' legs but never to cry or be sentimental?!

"Raj?!" I whispered as he smiled inspite of his tears.

"He's found a girl that's worth him!! Not someone who'll fight with him or not someone who misunderstands him!! My Arush has found a girl that's as possessive of him as he is of her... he's found someone who's worthy of his love and time and everything he has!" Raj choked, smiling at me.

"My asshole best friend is getting married!" Raj choked and the sentiment in his voice and his love for Arush brought tears to my eyes. I looked at Ahana who too fought tears as she smiled at Raj despite the tears brimming in her eyes.

"And my baby girl is getting married too!" Raj choked, looking at Ahana now, wiping the tears sliding down her face.

Without speaking anything else, the three of us moved for a group hug, half sobbing, half laughing at the sweet turn life had taken the moment I joined Arush's office, as his teammate.

"Now c'mon let's get going.. both my girls!! Ah you look so beautiful!" Raj sniffed, wiping his tears, beaming at me and at Ahana. He kissed both of us on our forehead before beaming at us, smiling yet his eyes shining with tears.

"And your respective beaus... they're gonna give you a lot of sleepless nights!" Raj winked suddenly, making both Ahana and me blush.

Still pulling our legs, Raj linked his arms with us on either side of him as we finally made our way to our parents, all of whom admired our dresses, beaming and smiling at how pretty we looked.

Finalizing Ahana bhabhi and mine respective clothes for the haldi, we gave an order for a customized lehenga and saree - similar design, but for the lehenga's material to be of a softer silk and my saree to have a designer blouse.

Next, it was time for the dresses for the mehandi and sangeeth. But where were bhai and Arush?!

"Arre the boys went to try their respective sherwanis... but uffo itni der kyo laga rahe hai?!" ma wondered out loud, looking around for the two grooms, neither of whom were in sight.

Ahana bhabhi and I went to get changed, whilst Raj decided to go and look for bhai and Arush, seeing how both of them were not answering his phone-calls either.

The salesgirl showed me to a different trial room than last time and left, so I was left to undo the saree alone. I closed the door, only to have a pair of masculine arms engulf me from behind the door, before Arush's cologne filled my nostrils.

My body seemed to meld into him as he wordlessly started kissing the length of my neck, his grip tight around my waist as he held me from behind, my back pressed tightly to the front of his body, engulfed in his warmth.

"I don't know how to keep calm or my sanity with you looking so pretty!!" Arush growled in my ear before placing a kiss on my ear lobe, making my toes curl up in pleasure.

"Looks like our parents knowing about us is my torture because I can't even sneak up to your room now, with your parents fully aware of our relationship" he whispered, his hand moving inside my lehenga blouse.

"Ar.." I began, but he started peppering kisses along the length of my neck, making me arch my back and lean more into him, moaning softly.

"You always manage to take my breath away Sahana... no matter what you wear or how you're dressed... but today... today I realized I'm bewitched.... by you" he breathed, making me turn to face him.

As his eyes met mine, tears pooled in my eyes at the warmth in his voice and touch, and at the love seething from his eyes. I never thought I'd ever have a love marriage or fall for someone, but here I am, in his arms - a man who loves and adores me like nobody ever can!

I don't know what made me do it - perhaps the love in his eyes, but I withdrew myself from his arms, still smiling up at him. He looked crestfallen but didn't say anything as I moved away from him, but kept his sad gaze on me as I moved further away, before stopping , still in front of him.

Falling down on one knee, I held out my hand for him, which he took, looking quite puzzled.

"I'd found you irresistibly hot and sexy the first time we'd met, but your arrogance... it made me try to hate you. But that
