All Chapters of FIRE & ICE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

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

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

ANUSHKA'S POV"What do you mean uncle Sammy have a sister?"Amaar asked me as he sat down next to me on my bed "Exactly what I'm saying"I said as I continued painting my feet nails with my pink nail polish"I meet her today at McKenzie's house and her parents and brother too""Parents? Brother?""Yes ,the people who have been taking care of her all this years""Oh, how old is she?"My brother asked as he looked through the many nail polishes I had that were stacked in my little makeup box"I think Sammy said twenty six" "And what's her name?""Nirmala is her name and I think her mother is Savita ,her father is Uday and the brother is Kunj"That's what they said their names were when Sammy introduced them to Danelle's family earlier today. Everyone was so thrilled to meet them and I was too really but for some reason , I couldn't help it but feel like there was something weird about them ,all four of them. I wouldn't say what exactly but something was definitely dodgy about them. Or may

DANELLE'S POV 19:02pm in the eveningMy team and I had just performed our dance few minutes ago and Anushka's team were just preparing to come up on the stage. And after that excellent performance we had just banged , I was feeling pretty confident that we were going to win and I wasn't even feeling that stupid anymore in those awful shoes."Dude, you were really amazing out there"Vijay said as we both sat down at one of the dining tables that were scattering around in the hall in front of the big stage I chuckled as I poured myself a glass of water before chunking it down my throat "I had to bring out my A-game if I want to win this. Anu challenged me ,so I had to do something about it""Yeah ,we have to wait and see what her team brings to the stage. I'm not used to losing just like you but I'm feeling very threatened I must say"Vijay chuckled as he leaned himself back against the chair"Everyone have been saying how good she is""I heard the same thing too. And she even said it to

ANUSHKA'S POV It was the morning of the 6th day. The last day before the wedding and I couldn't have been any more happier in my life like I was right now. To be honest, I was pretty much very tired with this many ceremonies already. If it were up to me , I would have skipped all of them and went straight to getting married to the love of my life and live my happy married life after that but it wasn't like I could do that, now could I? As much as I enjoyed all the ceremonies so far and they had to be done obviously, but what I needed above all was to be with Mckenzie already. I just couldn't get the thought of waking up next to her every morning of everyday out of my head. Just hearing her raspy morning voice whispering in my ear, calling me 'Sunshine'. Or being woken up with series of sensual kisses and hands delicately caressing my skin. Or breakfast in bed kind of treats and ogling of sweaty back muscles when she is working out , like I just didn't want to wait anymore. I couldn'
