When the guy had come to see her with one of his friend and mother (said so) her mother had called three of their close relatives and two neighbors.
Almost every one agreed for the marriage except one or two of her cousins. They were trying to justify that she is not the right person as she is much younger to the guy and moreover his "No Demands" strategy was not that appealing as he had not brought more of his family members and they don't have much clues why the earlier divorce had happened. But all these reasons could not convince her mother and other relatives as they thought that he had brought a fortune for her.(The guy had promised to give her a mobile phone and would even buy her some jewels at the time of engagement. If this is the case for engagement what would it be for and after marriage?? ) An astrologer had assured her mother she would be a princess after this marriage. No one could stop her fateL. They fixed the date for marriage.
Till one week before marriage, everything seems to be the same. Usual chores, he calls her only once in a week or so (he was too busy to talk) just to know about her family welfare and the arrangements for marriage. Only one more week left for marriage and it was then her life took a wide swirl.
No one could believe the changes in her life Everyone complimented the astrologer for predicting her future so flawlessly. She was gifted with nearly 1 kg of gold to be worn for wedding. Saris for her all above 15K, clothes for all family members everything worth more than Rs5000. A car arranged for her shopping needs (extra money given for that), beauticians coming to her place with all the accessories to make her a real stunning bride, 4 leading beauticians were with her at the wedding eve .(Thank God she couldn't acknowledge all the visitors during the eve, because of the bustle of the beauticians- for who knows what would others read from her face??? Astonish than Pleasure?? Dread than relief?? Hope than Confidence???).
Not to talk about the auditorium in which wedding was to be accomplished. It was a Senior Police Officer who was the organizer for the whole function. Be it invitation, decoration, photography, food, everything and anything. Almost all senior officials from all sectors were invited for the wedding. A cinema actor was requested to anchor the wedding. There were plenty of Photographers, camera men - experts from cine field. The famous art director had made the wedding in a Royal way with a Chariot (used in some cinema) drawn by seven horses. There were Warriors accompanying the chariot with sword and all costumes were arranged by a famous fashion designer. The roads and the auditorium were decorated by imported flowers and bouquet and obviously there was traffic rearrangement during the wedding as many senior and famous Personalities were expected for the wedding. Everyone declared it as the "Wedding of the Century"
