Some how weddings and monsoons never go well together, imagine sitting in wet silk saree chattering with cold in an AC hall, pretending that alls well...and wondering how the hec are you going to reach home, especially if you stay far off . life is really miserable at such times. you wonder how your special occasion dress is going to take the rains. will it show its true colors by loosing colors, and wet silk smells yuk and if it looses its color, u become its matching :):) by getting that color.
So thats what happened that way on this wonderful friend's wedding. a bit kiddish and a little crazy this friend is loved by all, and thats why when she declared that she is getting married, every one was happy for her. especially those who knew here well, knew her interest in doing the same. but the wedding was decided in the season of rains. still for giving the happiness to their friend of their company on her big day, the three friends set off , with a gift ( to be handeled with care :)) and hping that it wouldnt rain. only one of them carried an umbrella. umbrellas were taken but it was speculated that it wont rain....why then carry an umbrella???either it would get lost or it would become an enumbrance to carry and rememeber, where it is kept in the first place.
but as they neared their destination they regretted their decision, seeing the black clouds menacing in the sky. mentally praying to all the gods possible they set off...cabs were hard to find...but they managed to find one angel finally who left them to the wedding hall...it started gushing...pouring...they wondered if rain god was tired of all the pleas of god and just wnated to burst in..once and for all...but they were lucky that they didnt meet the showers that much.
One of their friends was caught up in the rains. he didnt have the umbrella too..the story ran on the same lines. finally he managed to reach, a bit drenched.
they had their photos taken, chatted with the friend and went to have the dinner. they tried to enjoy as much as they could, trying to ignore the onslaught of the rains...they never seemed to cease...and soon rains started puddling the roads ...
mentally all of them started paring for the rains to cease...but they didnt....they tried to do time pass in the wedding hall...but finally when the bride and groom got up to have a bite...they had to leave. they decided to leave...it was late and the girls were getting worried calls from their place....tucking the saree and tying the dupatta...taking care of the expensive coat of one of the guys....and the girls set off in the lone umbrella... avoiding the puddles and trying to take as much as possble care to stay dry... the silk of the saree started getting wet...but they cared least...they just wanted to go home.
cabbies were downright rude now...none of them took them to the station...they set off walking...taking care of each other...indulging in light bantering that could lift their wilted and tired spirits...
they reached the station only to realise that..........one of the guys had misplaced his wallet...care a damn about the cash..it contained his credit cards...the girls decided to wait on the station and the guys decided to go back :(:( in search of the wallet.
the girls...tired, wet ...stood on the station...a bit annoyed and miserable at the wolfish glances of the men around...after what seemed like ages...their friend came...the other one owuld meet them at the other station...he had got a call from one of the person that his wallet was found...and he had to meet him at the hospital...
They reached the main station , patiently waiting for their friend...weather beaten...and a bit sad on loosing all his cash...but he was happy tham all of them were there...waiting for him.
And finally they boarded the train...so exhausted that they could drop in then and there...
But they had some miles to go before they could finally sleep.
They reached home finally....relieved that the day was over...swearing that this would definitely be the wedding they would never forget ...
