ANUSHKA'S POVAfter McKenzie left the house ,I was left all alone , drowning in my own sorrows and pain. I was emotionally drained and physically exhausted and stiff and my heart was aching so much, literally. Everything that happened , I didn't want to think about it. But the more I didn't want to think about it, the more they laid vivid in my mind. A day that was supposed to be of love and togetherness and color, turned to be an absolute nightmare for me..I was humiliated and shamed in front of everyone at the colony. I was degraded in front of my own family. I could still see my father's disappointed face every time I closed my eyes. I've hurt him so muchBut was it that bad that I fell in love with McKenzie?Was I really deserving of so much pain and humiliation just because I loved someone?Every pain and insults haunted me like a ghost and I felt like I couldn't breath nor could I walk as I slouched down on the mat in front of the couch. My h
DANELLE'S POV The following day ,I was woken up by the most divine aroma of food that literally pushed me off the bed and down the stairs to the kitchen. I had even forgotten to put on some pants before I left the bedroom because I really couldn't think about anything aside from the food that was smelling so good. I was only in my boxer shorts and a loose black tank top. At least I wasn't naked. "Something smells divine in here"I said as I walked in the kitchen. My mouth watering even more and my stomach crumbling as another wave of the aroma assaulted my nostrils "GOOD MORNING!"Anushka sang, flushing me a big grin ,her hands working the dough in front of her. She looked better today , like really better and that made my heart happy. "What are you making? God I'm so hungry"My stomach actually crumbled again as I said that and Anushka laughed "Well I'm making you my favourite today Dear "Anushka smiled ,her gaze occasionally moving to my exposed
ANUSHKA'S POV It was there ,deep in my mouth and I felt like I couldn't breath, literally .I tried opening my mouth wider to accommodate it but I couldn't and my jaws hurts bad. I tried to take it in again but I choked and pulled my head back gasping for air. I couldn't breath and I was coughing really bad. Danelle immediately brought me a glass of water and helped me drink as she rubbed my back soothingly.I groaned for the nth time today as the memory of what happened earlier resurfaced back in my mind. I had never felt that embarrassed in my life. What was I even thinking?I groaned yet again, banging my face repeatedly on the pillow. After eating lunch with Sammy and McKenzie few hours ago ,I went to reside in the bedroom while I left the two best friends to catch up some more. They needed it after everything that happened recently in our lives. It felt extremely good to know that they were talking to each other again and that everything was now alright between the three of us.
DANELLE'S POV TWO WEEKS LATER"How long is he going to take?" I whispered to ask my mother who was sitting besides me on the couch "Let him focus on what he's doing Danelle. He will tell us once he is done"My mother said, relaxing back on the couch I sighed, sinking back further on the couch too. Right now, there was a priest, a Hindu priest sitting in my living room as per my mother invitation to him. We were in the middle of the ceremony called Roka, which was why both mine and Anushka's family were sitting in my living room as we patiently waited for the priest to finish going through mine and Anushka's horoscopes. Roka is the first pre-wedding ceremony where by the bride and groom are asked give their consents for the wedding and all of the elders bless them. It was a day where both families spend some time together and learns more about each other. And also the priest is invited and both the bride and groom are blessed and the Muhurta (auspic
ANUSHKA'S POV Just like every time there was going to be festival or a celebration , everyone at Kashmiri was busy as the preparations for my wedding were ongoing. Everyone had his or her own portion of work to do from the decorations on the outside and inside of the colony to the preparations of different traditional foods and sweets. Every part of the building you went , people were working. I was just so grateful for everyone because really, we needed every help we could get. Organizing a Hindu wedding in just seven days didn't sound that realistic to me but we had to make it happen somehow. There were many significant pre-wedding ceremonies that still needed to be performed before the actually wedding ceremony, so everything was already happening in a rush as it was. Tomorrow was the Ring ceremony, basically the engagement day.Which was why right now, I was in my brother's car heading to the Mall with him, sister-in-law Sindoora and Urmi to buy r
DANELLE'S POV "I still can't believe that you...Danelle McKenzie ,you are engaged and you are actually going to getting married! Like am I dreaming or something?"Mehek commented unbelievably across from me , a wide grin covering her face I chuckled ,taking a sip from a glass of whiskey that was in my hand, my thumb playing with the ring that was on my ring finger"Well ,you should believe it because it's true. I'm getting married. Danelle McKenzie is fucking getting married to the most beautiful bride in this whole world....like hell Meks did you see that girl yesterday!!""GORGEOUS!

ANUSHKA'S POVDAY 3 OF 7 BEFORE THE WEDDING "Mister will you please drive faster!" I hastily told the driver of the taxi "I'm already driving faster mam"The driver said , looking at me over the rearview mirror "You need to calm down"But I can't I was panicking. I was restless I don't know what happened to McKenzie. She was fine just last night when we talked. What could have happened?I was preparing my outfit for the Sangeet ceremony that was going to happen tomorrow night when Mehek called me. I thought she was calling to remind me about our appointment with the choreographer later today but only for her to tell me that McKenzie wasn't feeling well. I left everything I was doing that instant and hailed a cab to take me to McKenzie Mansion. Mehek tried to assure me that it wasn't something serious but I didn't want to hear it because I could clearly hear from her voice that she wasn't sure either. Serious or not ,I was going to see McKenzie. I
