It was a pleasant morning with sun shining brightly and the birds chirping in their melodious voices or it was the typical homely vibe morning for Mahi after so long.

She was enjoying her hot cup of coffee and enjoying the scenery outside while standing in her balcony. She had always loved an attached balcony in her room and that's why she insisted her parents to make one for her in the room although they had no such plans because of the "desi parents" concerns like someone maybe hiding in the balcony and attack you, you may catch cold etc etc etc .

Mahi smiled remembering all those childhood memories she had lived with in Shimla and how she used to be such a stubborn child and her parents always had to give up on her and going to Maldives was one such thing that she somewhere regrets as she had to leave her parents, her hometown and a lot more things.

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door and she knew who it could be.

"You don't need to knock Baba, I know it's you. Please come inside.

Mahi's father came inside with few packets in his hands and he literally looked happy and the reason was her daughter only.

"Hey princess, why did you woke up so early? Or should I ask from when did you started waking up early. I remember how much me and your mother had to put up efforts to wake you up for your school bus, such a sleep lover you were".

Mahi smiled reminiscing those old memories, those sweetest memories.

"I am still a sleep lover Baba but I love the views of lovely morning in my beautiful city through my classy balcony with my beautiful eyes more. Mahi laughed while dramatically blowing her hairs back."

Yeah she can be all senseless and stupid in front of her parents and..... Mahi shrugged the thought quickly.

His father laughed loudly and they both went to the balcony to enjoy the bright morning.

"Ohoooo I forgot what I bought for you Mahi. Your blabberings make me forget things badmash."

"Teeelllllllllllll me pleaassee it's my favorite samosa and jalebi from our favorite sweet shop!????? Yyyeaahhhhh" , Mahi screamed and without wasting a second she jumped and snatched the packets from her father's hand.

She was actually jumping and smiling like a two year old kid.

Ohhhh. How much he had missed that smile of hers.

"Don't look at me like that Baba. I will share it with you . Don't worry", Mahi said mischievously.

"That's so kind of you Your Highness that you considered me worthy of this delicacy. I am so obliged to have you in our city".

You have become a drama king Baba after being posted in Shimla.

"Learnt from you only Your Highness." He smirked.

While the father-daughter were busy in their chit chat, they heard the door opening and soon their smile disappeared and fear was clearly visible on their face.

"What happened highly prestigious peoples"? And there stood Mahi's mother with one hand on her hips and a full on "Wait what I do now" mode.

"Baba I am just coming from the washroom. I guess I forgot to switch off the lights."

"Wait, Mahi I think the fuse has some problem, you wait here . Let me check it.
Where's the tool box?? Leave it I will bring it from downstairs."

"No Baba. I know how to fix it, I will do it."

"Nahi Mahi beta, you will get hurt. Just stay here na".

"Baba please na , let me do it. I will...."

Stop both of you, and that was enough to shut them off.

Mahi's mother entered the room with slow steps and both of them were literally sweating due to fear.

"How many times I have called you both to come downstairs and help me with the work, assign the workers their duties but you two are busy in measuring the balconies, calculating the sun's distance and trying the samosaa and the jalebis in the time machine."

She said all that in a single tone. Mahi and her father were silently listening to the home minister because they were at fault that time. Nidhi, Mahi's mother had already told them last night about the work and to help her and even in the morning she had called them several times but they were delaying it continuously so the scolding was quite obvious and needed but before she could proceed further she was stopped by her husband with a jalebi in her mouth. Yes it was a risky trick but it worked.

"Soooorrrryyyyyyyyyyy". Mahi said with her all time famous puppy face and a cute pout. And her father too apologised which was finally accepted after the deal of working twice their designated work and a beautiful kashmiri shawl on their wedding.

Mahi and her parents were downstairs to check the things. The whole house was a chaos but a beautiful fun. There were bundles of flowers and every type of stuff for the wedding.

The wedding would take place from Mahi's house because Neha and her family was very close to Mahi and her family, secondly Neha loved Shimla so all in all Shimla favoured the most awaited wedding requirements in all way.

After writing down all the works in the diary and helping her mother to assign the work to the workers who were hired for the wedding preparations Mahi sat on the couch and was relaxing a bit when she noticed something.

There was a bundle of white flowers lying on one corner. They were the same flowers. Yes they were common flowers but the way they were tied together in a bunch was particular. With dark red color ribbon and five flowers in each bundle they looked exactly the same.

How's it possible. Mahi was lost in her thoughts when her mother shrugged her to bring something from the market.

"Maa, from where we have bought those white flowers??" She pointed towards the bundle. Curiosity took the best of her and it was getting difficult for her to wait for even a second.

"Ohhhh these, Nidhi replied while picking out a bunch from the bundle and while handing it over to Mahi she said, There's is a flower shop opened near the main market. It opened a year ago and it's one of the best flower shops of Shimla. They have all variety of flowers but they are specially known for the collection of their white flowers. So we bought it from there . Now go quickly and bring those things."

Mahi was shocked would be an understatement and before her mother food finish she ran out of the house with shaking legs, increased hear rate, and tears in her eyes.

The white flower.......

And Mahi stood their gazing at the flower shop.
