(Not a fanfiction)
Siddharth Singh Rathore, an arrogant billionaire.
Ishika Maheswari, an innocent soul.
Two opposites arranged together.
Their marriage is like the marriage of sun to moon.
Siddharth ki siddat, Ishika ka Ishq...
Shaadi ka atoot ban...
Though I was nervous and sceptical before meeting Ishika, now I am just so excited.
After the meeting on Sunday, both of our families decided that we would get engaged on Tuesday, that is tomorrow. Our wedding date is set for after 2 months.
Today I'll be taking Ishika for our ring shopping. I am looking forward to spending some time with her. I know all this is happening too fast. Two days ago I had so many what-ifs and tomorrow I'll be engaged. But I think when you find the right person, everything just clicks. Nothing feels rushed. If not for that Panditji, I would have readily married my Ishika in 2 weeks only.
Unfortunately, my grandmother won't be able to attend the engagement ceremony as she is gone on some teerthyatra. But she gave her blessings through the video call. . . . It's 3'o clock, and I am off to pick Ishika.
Ding dong
Brinda Bhabhi opened the door.
"Hello Bhabhi, how are you.”
"Hello Siddharth Ji, I am doing just fine, please come in."
"Bhabhi I am younger than you so please just call me Siddharth. Ji makes me feel like I am of my Dadu's age."
"Haha, OK Siddharth. I can't deny you if you put it like that. Make yourself feel at home, while I call Ishki."

She is looking divine in white. And somehow today also we ended up in matching outfits.
"Do you guys secretly plan your fits, how come you are always matching"
"I guess we think alike " My simple sentence was enough to make my girl blush.

"Bhabhi if you allow, can I take Ishika for dinner after shopping." I asked her bhabhi.
"It's not me whom you should ask Siddharth. If she says yes, she is all yours to spend time with." Bhabhi says while glancing towards Ishika.
"I got the point Bhabhi, Shall we take our leave."
"Go and have fun both of you."
We went to my car and I opened the door for her and helped her to sit in. I took the driver's seat and we drove off.
We drove silently, but It wasn't awkward.
"Umm... Siddharth ji We also need to select our dresses for tomorrow. Do you want to go to that store first?"
"OK, can you just feed the address in the GPS?"
"Sure."
"Ishika, though we only met yesterday, I felt a connection with you. I wasn't initially ready for the marriage but you changed my opinion in just one meet. I know it is all too sudden but since we are planning to spend our whole life together, shouldn't we quit these formalities between us. 'Aap' kehna is maybe respectful par 'tum' mi apnapan aur adhikaar hai. So now, if you don't want me to call you Ishika Ji, you better start calling me Siddharth."
"Thank you Siddharth for understanding me. All this is very new to me. I have never been in a relationship before so I am not very sure how everything is done."
"just be yourself Ishika, do what your heart says and I'll be right beside you at your every step." I told her and she nodded with a beautiful smile.
I followed the gps and we stopped outside a large store, filled with traditional wedding attires.
We went inside, and Ishika was so lost looking around, while I was busy looking at her. Suddenly her eyes shone brightly, I had to find out what made her so happy.
It was a golden lehenga. But she didn't pick it up and continued browsing for more.
"Why don't you try this, it's pretty," I said pointing at the same golden lehenga.
"It would be too much, tomorrow is just a simple engagement ceremony."
"But I think you should have it if you like it. It's your day and nothing you would do will be too much. Now go try it."
"Ok but how did you know that I liked it."
"Your eyes speak volumes, Ishika. I'll be waiting for the day when I don't have to rely on your eyes and you will be comfortable enough to share your thoughts."
"I'll try the lehanga." Saying this she rushed to the trial room.
While waiting for her, I asked the staff to help me find a matching Sherwani.
They brought 4 of such attires for me to select one from. By the time Ishika came out from the trial room. I was expecting to see her in that lehenga but she changed back to her salwar suit.
"You didn't show me your lehanga."
"I'll show it to you but tomorrow."
"Not fair, now help me decide one from these."
She picked one, even I liked it.
"I'll go and check the fitting and wait even I will not show it to you."
She chuckled. I don't know when was the last time I acted childishly. But it was worth it, seeing her smile was worth it.
Luckily, both of our dresses fit us well, so there was no need for any alterations.
We placed our dresses in the trunk of my car and set off to shop for rings.
