11 Her Cousins

Earlier that day in a coffee shop, Four girls and one boy were sitting at a table and talking.

The five were none other than Aadrita's five cousins who were discussing how they helped Madhu to run away.

Reshma: "It was so exciting na?"

Karishma, the youngest could not help but ask: "Will they find out, that we helped Madhu in her runaway plan?"

Mithun, Madhu's Biological brother: "So what? Who told them to arrange the marriage in such a hurry without even giving time to know about the groom?"

Vaishnavi; Mithun's Girlfriend/Fiancee is a soft-hearted girl" I think this is cruel to Arjun"

Reshma "How come it is cruel, you know right, that groom didn't even talk with our Madhu properly 😏, so how can Madhu marry him?"

Sheetal: "But we forgot to tell Ritu about the plan. She had called me two days ago, I think she would have reached the mandap by now. Should we call her to know the situation over there now?"

As Sheetal took her phone to call Aadrita, she got a call instead from her mother telling her to stop searching for Madhu and to get back to the mandap since Aadrita will be replacing Madhu.

To say that she was surprised will be an understatement, she immediately informed the other four. From being surprised to getting angry, it didn't take much time for the five of them.

They immediately called Madhu who was halfway on her trip to Goa. When Madhu got the news, she immediately got off the bus and got on the next bus to return back.

Huh, they were fine with this marriage getting cancelled or even calling Madhu back.

Heck, how could they allow Aadrita to marry a boy who was even rejected by Madhu?

All of them loved Aadrita madly, they doted on her the most. It's the same with Madhu also, Ritu was the fav of all of them. Similarly, Aadrita loved them back with the same sincerity and dedication.

They reached the mandap through the back door and came straight to the green room.

"No, we don't agree with this. SHE WILL NOT MARRY YOU!" Reshma could not help but raise her voice as she rushed inside the green room.

Mithun being Madhu's brother got even angrier "You have already been rejected by Madhu! What right do you have to marry our Ritu?"

"Right, Ritu is our Jaan, we will select her groom"

Karishma: "He will have to go through our trails before he can marry our Ritu"

Vaishnavi though Mithun's Girlfriend, she was Aadrita's best friend, she had made more than enough fantasies for her friend's marriage: "Ritu will only marry a prince no less."

When Ritu saw that her cousins came she gave a smirk to Arjun as if suggesting that even if Arjun didn't help her to stop the wedding her cousins would somehow stop it. She had full confidence in her cousins.

Seeing the five, Arjun was surprised. When he came to see Madhu, he did see them. They were behaving as if even talking to him will be a waste of their time. Now they are behaving like they just wanted to take his life😇

Arjun had just heaved a sigh that he had convinced Aadrita for the marriage, who thought that was just a trailer. Now he was thinking about how to convince these five.

Ritu was excited that her cousins were back, she rushed into Sheetal's embrace to tell about what happened here.

But before Arjun or Ritu could talk, Madhumita (Reshma and Karishma's mother) and Bhavya (Madhuri and Mithun's mother) came to take Aadrita and Arjun to the mandap.

Seeing that all children were present they urged them to go to the mandap. But the children started questioning them why they agreed for this marriage.

Bhavya and Madhumita tried to convince them but none of them were listening.

All of the elders were waiting in the mandap for Aryan, Aadrita , Madhumita and Bhavya, but since they didn't see them for a long time, elders came to the green room looking for them.

Seeing the children arguing about the marriage, they also tried to talk with the children, but got no positive response. Since they were not able to convince the children, the elders decided to lock them up in the green room and go ahead with the marriage.

Aadrita who thought that this marriage will be stopped was stunned. She never thought her marriage would happen like this!

She, becoming a replacement bride was beyond her expectations, now even her friends and cousins were not present for her marriage.

Aadrita became gloomy at the thought of this. She immediately shot an angry look at Arjun.

Though Aadrita was a cheerful girl and behaved loud and kind, only a few would enter her heart.

She doesn't show her emotions other than being happy to everyone.

She doesn't get angry, sad and inform others if she is not well, but only her family, So it was surprising that she was getting angry and teasing Arjun when her cousins came, but this went unnoticed.

Cousins did know that they would not be able to cancel this marriage so they were trying to delay the time as much as possible so that, by then Madhu would be back and cancel this wedding.

But it seems nothing was working. As the saying goes the show must go on, here it seemed like the marriage must go on...😇

Aadrita was soon taken to the Mandap for the ceremony where the groom will be giving the bride her wedding yellow sarees.

She was brought back to the groom's green room for changing her saree since in the bride's green room her cousins were locked up.

She took her phone and could not help but call Aryan, to inform him about the marriage. He was her best friend and brother, how can she not inform him.

"Tring Tring"

Ritu: "Hello"

Aryan was sleeping since they arrived late at night, he took the call after the third ring. He didn't see who was calling him but was able to identify it was Ritu from the other side from her voice.

Aryan rubbed his eyes and answered : "Hello, Ritu, Why are u calling now? What happened? Did you reach the Auditorium?"

Aadrita: "Aryan, I am getting married!"
