Chapter Six

Vocabulary

*****

" Aaj ke baad mein kabhi bhi train mein nahi betu ga. " Rajveer groaned from the pain in his back. ( I am never getting on a train again. )

They had just reached their hotel, Adi's hotel to be precise. He'd been gracious enough to give them the penthouse suite which consisted of two floors in itself. Vani and Aryan had run off to the master bedroom on the second floor leaving Rajveer and Naman to take the smaller, but still spacious rooms on the bottom. Shreya took the final bedroom across from the master because of its large bathroom which she'd said she needed to get ready.

His back was aching from that horrendous train ride and he was ready to lay down on his bed and sleep. But he had a conference call in 10 minutes which he needed to attend. After losing that Mehra deal he'd immersed himself into his work more and more, making sure all the projects were being done with immaculate work.

He still had tons of unpacking to get done as well as some pending work to prepare for his online meeting, which was scheduled tomorrow. On top of that he had some clothing fittings along with Naman and Aryan for the wedding functions. He'd also been an idiot and volunteered to foresee the decoration for the sagai so it looked like he had a long week ahead of him.

After his conference call he took a long shower and got ready for bed, knowing he'd sleep for a good 5 to 6 hours to refresh his mind and get ready for the next day and boy was he right. The sleep he'd gotten was some of the best of his life.

After ordering in breakfast the group headed off towards the market. Shopping was never his forte but it seemed that Vani and Shreya were completely at home. They jetted off away from the boys to do some shopping of their own and the boys headed to their groomsmen fitting. Sitting in a hot stuffy change room wasn't something Rajveer was excited about but alas, the things he did for his best friend.

" Ishi yaar bas bhi kar na, aur kitni shopping karegi gi. " Soumya complained as they walked through the scorching heat, multiple shopping bags in each hand. ( Ishi come on now, how much more shopping will you do. )

Soumya lost her enthusiasm not even an hour into the trip, after she'd successfully bought all the things she needed. But even after 3 hours in, Ishi was still going strong.

" Bhas ab ek jeez reh gaye hi. " Ishi dragged her towards one final boutique. ( Just one thing is left now. )

" Nahi, meh ek aur store meh kadam bhi nahi rakhu gi. " She grumbled, crossing her arms. ( No I will not step foot into another store. )

" Tik hai, toh tum puri shaadi mein barefeet ghoomna. " Ishi teased. ( Ok then, you can walk around barefoot in the whole marriage. )

Soumya groaned. How had she forgotten shoes out of all things? She let Ishi drag her inside where they tried on multiple pairs of shoes until they found some that matched with all their outfits. Finally they were done.

" Abhi sirf 5 baje hai, hum coffee shop chale, mai tumhe apne kuch friends se milwati hu. " ( Its only 5, do you wanna go to the coffee shop, you can meet some of my friends. )

Soumya readily agreed, because she was in desperate need of some refreshments. The shop was only a few minutes away so they decided to just walk there. They walked to a table near the back where two women were already seated. They jumped up and pulled Ishi into a hug.

" Congratulations! "

Ishi laughed. " Thankyou Thankyou. "

She gestured towards Soumya. " Isse milo, yeh hai meri best friend Soumya. " ( Meet her, This is my best friend Soumya. )
