she was chatting with her friends in her room when, " hey, how are you feeling? " a random message appeared on her chatbox when notification sound attracted her.

"Oho, it seems our dear jiju can't wait to meet you!!" one of her friend seating next to her peeking at message in her phone and said with teasing smile.

Prachi blushed as her cheeks turned in deep shade of red, only she knew how embarrassed she felt of all this teasing.

in her mind she cursed Ronit for messaging her this late, it was already 12 am and he was still awake.

"shut up Rubi! don't you see our jiju is worried about Prachi. wether she is happy or not! had ate or not! or maybe she...ouch..!!!"

Prachi lightly pinched her friend Arpita who was even one level ahead of Rubi .

"stop teasing me guys! and now all of you shoo~~ I will chat with my soon to be husband" Prachi said as there was proud in her eyes.

"the heck Prachi, don't be too shameless about this! it's not good for bride to act shameless at the time of her wedding."

"oh, shrishti please don't be such ridiculous. you don't destroy our little princess' mood okay? come let's go!" Rubi interrupted shrishti as she grabbed her arms.

shrishti was more into religion and believed in ancient values, when she was dragged by Rubi shrishti last time looked at Prachi in worry.

when everyone left, she smiled and opened his chat with finger lock. her face was shining brightly and she was smiling.

" I am great what about you? why are you awake this late?"

sending smirking emoji next she blushed when she read her reply again. never in her life Prachi thought that one day she would fall in love and more of someone will accept her as partner being herself as lazy as hell.

"bachelor's party!

my friend wanted to let me enjoy last day of my pretty life.. hahaha"

looking at his reply she sent him sad emoji. he smiled and sent her kiss emoji.

" hey man still chatting with Bhabhi? it seems you are truly love struck fool for her!" his best friend nil said.

"shut up bro! don't interrupt us!"

"okay okay"

when nil left he again looked at her chat box and typed, " I am very happy and excited for tomorrow. I can't wait to marry you"

she blushed but reply "what will you do when we will be married then?"

"love you, take care of you, protect you"

"❤️"

"I love you Prachi"

"love you too"

.......

crash sound was heard when glass shattered at corner of his room. there was heavy breathing in air, one man had blood in his hands and dead yet angry eyes.

"HOW DARE YOU MARRY SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME PRACHI"

.....

jiju : term used for your friend's or sister's husband.

Bhabhi : term used for your brother's or friend's wife.

early morning Prachi woke up and massaged her sleepy eyes, yesterday she sleeper chatting with Ronit and forgot to charge her phone.

she walked toward toward and took out charger, fitting charger in switch board she pressed switch and putting her mobile on charging she looked outside to find everyone already had started preparation of wedding, Mr. Ravi Kumar her father already called decorator to ask about decoration.

it was winter season, but Mr. Kumar was tensed wether all this work will be handled carefully or not. Prachi was his only daughter and was apple of others eye he wanted to held her grand marriage.

"papa don't worry everything will be fine!" Prachi assured as she hugged her father,

" oh ho, who let her in, Prachi get inside your room you can't get outside of your room before your marriage. it's a sin dear . please understand" Mr. Kumar said as he immediately hide her face with dupatta, and lead her to her bedroom.

"but papa why??" she tried to move that thing away from her face when her father stopped her and said, "it's tradition beta. just listen to me and go inside, soon beautician will come and dress you. now go and don't let Ronit see your face before marriage it's sin."

everyone was busy preparing for wedding, wedding was held in 4 pm. and they are going to leave for wedding hall at 2 pm to check everything.

Prachi sighed and removed dupatta from her face, and looking at her face in mirror she smiled.

'i am going to marry you Ronit, I am so happy today. you were the first guy who made me feel loved. I want to spend my entire life with you'

she was thinking when knocks on her window shocked her, when she looked to her side she saw her window was opened and some white paper on floor.

she picked it up and glanced outside, that time Ronit was seating there with his friends and his eyes met with Prachi.

thinking it was from him she smiled, Ronit smiled at her back. Prachi that time failed to notice black cap which was now moving away from there.

she immediately turned around and opened folded paper,

" you are beautiful as always..

can't wait to make you mine...

- your lover. "

'how cheap but loving. ah, you should've directly texted me if you want Ronit why need to be so cliche??'

she opened her finger lock in phone and clicked on his chat room and sent him text.

" I want to be with you too❤️❤️❤️"

...

"Prachi you are so beautiful...

I really want to crush you in my arms...

you bad girl how can you be with someone else when your lover is here.m.."

he said looking at her recent pic which he skillfully clicked from his camera just now. he was hiding behind their house, everyone was so busy that they failed to notice someone unknown in their house.

everyone reached earlier in wedding hall to check wether everything was fine, soon groom side of people came with their barat after some rituals priest started havana.

it was already time of marriage, wedding hall was decorated with white and red rose, chattering of people and sound of musical instruments let people outside know about marriage happening inside.

outside of wedding hall red carpet was neatly placed and there was big board which had " Prachi weds Ronit" written in beautiful design.

it was very pleasing to look, waiter served juices and stater to guests to make them entertained, musicians played traditional Indian wedding music.

sometimes giggles of childrens occasionally can be heard, at the stage four priest and groom sat near fire ,

[okay, I getting like serious problem narrating about Indian wedding so please just search it on Google. there are some words which I don't have translation in English so I better move ahead.]

after few mantras, priest called for bride, Mr. Kumar asked her best friends to call Prachi down in hall.

three of them immediately ran to first floor where Prachi was, beautician already left dressing up Prachi so now she was alone.

when Rubi opened that room door, they found no one inside, Arpita and shrishti looked inside bathroom and in gallery but still they didn't see Prachi at all.

as if she just disappeared. shrishti was about to walk inside when she saw bangle in corner, when she got near and took that bangle in her hand she screamed.

Rubi and Arpita ran outside in gallery and saw shrishti looking at bangle in her hand with horrified expressions.

"what happened... doesn't this bangle belongs to Prachi?? where is she?" Rubi asked as she took bangle from shrishti.

it was getting late and priest didn't wanted to good time to passed away, he once again told Mr. Kumar to call for bride.

when Mr. Kumar went upstairs he saw none of them, and he checked bathroom and gallery. finding them in gallery he sighed in relief and told them, "what are girls doing here? get downstairs, priest is asking for Prachi... wait where is Prachi?"

looking at their horrified faces his happy expressions turned into frown as he seriously looked at them and asked, " what happened? tell me honestly! where is Prachi?"

none of them had courage to tell truth to him, but they have to say it eventually.

Arpita was most courageous in three of them as she said, "uncle we found her bangle"

Mr. Kumar was horrified to hear his daughter went missing and couldn't help but feel shame and extreme pain in his heart.

he clutched his left chest tightly as he felt extreme pain, three of them widened their eyes as they quickly grabbed mr. Kumar who was falling to floor.

"uncle..."

finding strange nil went inside room only to hear screams when he ran toward gallery he found Mr. Kumar on floor and those three friends were crying, he quickly called ambulance and Mr. kumar was admitted in hospital.
