70. Siddartha goes to marriage hall

CHAPTER 70

Siddartha goes to marriage hall

Siddartha went to the marriage hall. All his friends surrounded him. The room was beautifully decorated with flowers.

Arvind asked, “How is the arrangement?”

Siddartha went around and looked at everything. “Ah! Everything is perfect.”

Manoj took him to the kitchen. “The cooks are already here. 5:30am is the auspicious time. The guests will be served coffee, Tiffin, and so on.”

Looking at him happily, Siddartha said, “Very good.”

Arvind said, “Everything is ok. But where is the bride? We have already brought the ladies from beauty parlor to do makeup for bride. Where is Reshmi?”

Looking at him seriously, Siddartha said, “I am on my way to pick her up.”

Sadly, Arvind said, “I know your problems. We are all sorry to hear of the death of commando Ranjit. But you must be here in half an hour with Reshmi. Swami will be here by then.”
