"Stop panicking, di."
"I can't Simmi. Guests have started to come and I have to go down in half an hour but my dress is not here yet." I said pacing around in the dressing room of the reception hall.
"Chill Sammy, Your dress will be here in no time. And it's your reception so you can go late. There is no worry." said Adya trying to calm me down.
"I hope they deliver my dress soon."
"They will Sammy Di. Here, drink this juice and calm your nerves." Sonia handed me a glass of juice. I drank the whole glass of it but was still not able to pacify myself.
"Mrs. Khanna, calm down, otherwise if your husband will get to know that your panic mode is on, he will even cancel the reception," I couldn't agree more with Aditi as she was right. But I had managed to not let that news reach my husband.
"I know Ady, and that's what I am worried about more."
Namit's dress arrived in the morning and mine didn't. I was

Samaira******I woke up at 6 a.m. despite sleeping at 4 in the morning. This temporary insomnia occurs whenever I get nightmares of that night. I still can't forget what happened 3 years ago.It's not like I never tried, but that dreadful memory doesn't leave me alone.After getting up from bed, I did my morning chores and got ready in my jogging clothes.I was not a morning person before but I have changed now.I went down to go to the nearby park for jogging. I saw Ishu Bhai already waiting for me.No one leaves me alone after that incident. No matter if it's jogging or shopping, someone always tags along, and if not, then there are bodyguards hired by Dad to follow me. I know they are being protective but I have started to feel caged.Well, there is one more reason why Bhai started to come along with me to jog, Adya.Yes, my best friend Adya. I and Adya met in college. Bhai was a senior.
Samaira******My father is a renowned businessman. He and Rishabh Uncle started their organization when they were not even married. He recently retired from the post of CEO and bequeathed it to Ishu Bhai. Ishaan Kashyap(my Ishu Bhai) has become a popular name now, he has worked day and night to earn that post and everyone's trust for himself. My family wanted me to work in Dad's company but I denied.I understand how protective they are but when it came to my career, I took my stand and told them that I will make my own identity.Convincing them was one hell of a task but Bhai helped me. And that's how I ended up in M.N.K Industries. It's not a big firm like my father's but I love working here. No one here knows my real identity. I am appreciated for my work and that's what I always wanted."Hey, what are you thinking? Go, get ready. We need to leave soon. Your clothes are in the closet." Adya told me and I came out of my incessant thoughts. I and
Namit******It's 7 in the morning and my plane is about to land. It's been more than 3 years but I couldn't gather the courage in those 3 years to come to India, where my family resides. I was so much filled with hatred towards her that I detached myself from everything which reminds me of her. I never came back to Delhi because I knew she too lives here and it won't be easy for me. I agree I was being a coward but not anymore. I left because of her and now I came back only because of her.My plane landed and now I am headed towards M.N.K Industries. Yeah I know it's too early but I am being impatient. I want to see her. I came to know about her being an employee in my Uncle's company not long ago. I reached at 8 in the office. When I was about to go further towards the lift the receptionist stopped me and started asking me who do I want to meet, if I have an appointment, and that literally irritated me. No one ever dared to talk to me like that and when I turn
FLASHBACK(3 MONTHS BACK)Namit******I got up with a severe headache. I drank a lot last night. It has become a habit now, whenever I miss her terribly I drink too much. I looked around and saw I was on the 3 floors of my building where I have set up my own minibar. I was not a fan of drinking but now I drink till I get unconscious so that I don't think about her. There are only two important things in my life now, my work and alcohol, either I work tirelessly or I drink. The more I get myself engaged the easier it gets for me to not think for her.But what am I doing in my mini-bar, the last I remember I was with a client yesterday night in Peter's club and I drank a lot.....that's all I remember.I got up holding my head because the pain was really killing me. I went towards the lift and pressed the button for 4 floors. I went directly towards my room and watched the time. Shit, it's 12 p.m. Today was supposed to be the meeting with Italian clie
FLASHBACK(3 MONTHS BACK) CONTINUED.....Namit******I never knew that I will ever have to deal with a situation like this one day. But I am thankful that I have these two idiots beside me. So now we are seated in the living room and obviously, they need answers, I too need answers but I don't know whom should I ask. I think I will have to figure it out later but before that, I need to tell Arjun and Dhruv the truth because only they can help me in finding those answers."Namit, we are waiting. You said you will tell us everything that's why we stopped bombarding our questions on you. But for that, you have to speak."Arjun said. I can see how worried and anxious they are, and to tell them what happened I have to start from the beginning."I saw her in college in Dhruv's section when I went to return his jacket. She was so cheerful, so fun-loving. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I had never seen someone like her. Dhruv was not in the class so I was
Namit******I went into the house with uncle and I was mentally prepared to be scolded by everyone, afterall everyone was hurt because of my selfish nature. But I can't tell them that I was being selfish in order to not hurt them as I knew if they would have seen my previous self they would have gotten hurt for sure. I went into the living room and there I saw Nitya, Riddhi and Rohit talking to each other and watching a movie. Rohit is Neeraj uncle's son and my cousin and Riddhi is his wife. Riddhi,Rohit,me , Dhruv and Arjun are childhood friends. We all studied in same school and after that Rohit and Riddhi went to Germany to study. I, Dhruv and Arjun went to New York where Arjun chose to study law and me and Dhruv chose business management. Riddhi always loved Rohit but Rohit was unaware of her feelings but finally she confessed to him in Germany and he reciprocated her feelings. They got married 7 months back in India but I didn't attend. I had my reason which only
Samaira******I was getting ready for the party. My family already reached there and we girls were running late."Sammy we are getting late, come out fast." I heard Adya yelling from outside."If Aditi had brought anything simple for me I would have been at the party right now Adya." I replied to her while wearing the dress. Seriously I don't know why Aditi brought something like this. Even though the dress is very beautiful but I really hate gathering unwanted attention. It's a silver nude colour cold shouldered gown with butterfly sleeves having a v-neckline and low v-back.It's a silver nude colour cold shouldered gown with butterfly sleeves having a v-neckline and low v-backI tried to convince Aditi but even Adya supported her and I finally had to agree to wear it. I really liked it but I don't feel confident in presenting myself in front of so many people in this dress and that's the reason I was taking more time."Sammy it's 7
