Love Potion
We finish and walk towards Tamanna, the place
where I have placed the order for my wedding
trousseau. I am supposed to collect it today. After a
five minute wait, my lehenga arrives in a wooden
hanger. Tears well up in my eyes as I look at it. Sam
holds my hand as I try to control myself.
“It looks beautiful, Meera." Sam says emotionally.
"Hmmm..." I nod feeling overwhelmed.
"Why don't you try it." Sam suggests.
I go into the trial room, cradling the outfit in my
arms. After a whole fifteen minutes, I walk out.
Complete, with the veil on my head.
Sam gets up from his seat and stares at me from top
to bottom. I can see the emotions on his face and
the love for me in his eyes. I know I look good. The
bright yellow of the lehenga perfectly complemented the bold pink of the blouse. The skirt flowed brilliantly, highlighting my slim figure. The plunging
backside of my blouse, showed off the 'S' tattoo on
my back. The veil caressed my head hiding the million things that were going on in my mind at that
very moment.
"You know I love you na." Sam said after a deep
breath.
I nodded as I walked back to the trial room to
change into my plain clothes. I was out quicker this
time as Sam patiently waited. Having the dress carefully wrapped in tissue and covered in a jute cover,
we walk out of Tamanna with a wide smile on both
our faces.
"So, how did I look?" I ask Sam as I walk along his
side.
"Bearable." He says and bursts into laughter.
I stop and look at him as he notices the tears in my
eyes. He quickly stops laughing and places his hands
on my shoulder.
"Hey, I was kidding Meera. Come on. You know I
love you na." He says wiping away my tears.
"Still....." I say as I burst into tears.
"Hey.. Its okay. Its okay." Sam hugs me.
The people around look at us weirdly. Of course,
Bangalore still needs to accept PDA. But we couldn't
care less.
I sober down in a minute and look at Sam.
"You looked beautiful, Meera. Siddharth is a very
lucky guy." My best friend says as he walks by my
side, holding my wedding dress in his hands.
