When will I learn to wear this Saree. This tradition outfit is mandatory for all ceremonies and sacred functions in Hindu religion. But it’s too long to wear. Thank god Nimisha is here to help me. She is a pro in this. I can’t remember the last time i wore this. The white and gold Kerala saree suits me. I look more regional now. A traditional Kerala women. Nimisha is doing the final touch of kajal in my eyes her usual practise to avoid evil eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh. This girl is so superstitious.

Seeing me giggling, she asked, Where is your San ? Isn’t he coming today. Sandra: God knows. He might be stuck with something. It’s no big deal anyway. It’s such a long distance for him to travel. Chances are less. Nimisha: Why are you so casual about this relationship. I thought you guys are dating already.

Sandra: No. absolutely no. It’s just that he is my best friend and I like him sexually. He have a beautiful voice which always turns me on.

Nimisha was shocked.

Nimisha: Shut stupid. People are around. They would faint if they hear us talking like this. This is India, not your Europe. Here people are reserved and more traditional. Sandra giggled again.

Everyone is busy arranging and organizing things for Silpa’s marriage. Ancestral house is occupied with guests in every corner. Sandra was little nervous meeting so many people around. It been a while she been close to so many people. If it wasn’t for her younger sisters marriage, she wouldn’t have travelled her way back to her ancestral home. Sandra couldn’t recognize most of the relatives faces. She haven’t seen them for a long while. Neither did they knew her. She was bought up in hostels and boarding since her mother passed away. After her education is completed she successfully became a professional chartered accountant and decided to stay abroad in European countries and always avoid traveling to India. She has so many bad memories in India. Mother’s death, Lonely life in Hostels, Break up with Manu, so many thing which she didn’t want to remember. When her father asked her to attend her sisters marriage, she couldn’t deny it. Or when did she ever ignored her fathers word except about her own marriage. She isn’t ready for her marriage yet. But her father has forced her a lot to get married but she never get into his advice. Finally her father decided proceed with her younger sisters marriage.

Sandra had invited San for her sisters marriage. Perfect occasion she believed to meet him. She haven’t heard from him since last 12 hours. She was told that he was driving all the way to meet her. Time passes and she is getting nervous. Will he be alright ? Where is he ? Was he joking on her ? Wouldn’t he come ? So many things have passed her mind. She could feel her being restless. She have checked the entrance of house at least a thirty time to see if he has arrived. No news in call history too.

The expected arrival time have passed 2 hours back. Should i call him ? No i don’t want him to know my hidden feelings for him. He has always been clear about his stand. That he doesn’t want a relationship. He has his reasons. Neither did she want it. But they have their reasons to stick together as friends and a little more. Undefined little more.......
