IAL Chapter 9: The Tape

As always thank you everyone who likes and comments regularly, you make me motivated to continue. A small note; I might not update until Monday because I finally got over my writters block for Angels and Devils. Unfortunatly I still haven't got over my writters block for Here We Go Again but hopefully soon so I can continue with all 3 stories. Anyway, I hope I'll post the new chapter for Angels and Devils before Monday so I can continue with this on Monday. Enjoy :)

Chapter 9: The Tape

NK ran to his room with the camcorder still in the box.

 

Oh God, I hope it’s not too damaged.

 

He placed the sodden box on his bed and look at the clock on his wall.

 

Great, I still have an hour before the guests start arriving. Hopefully I can fix the camera in time. Or better yet, maybe it’s not broken at all so all I won’t have to do anything.

 

He quickly got out of his wet clothes and changed in to dry ones. He didn’t want to inflict the camera with more damage than it had already been subjected to.

 

He pulled the camera out of the box and dried it. He then tried to record something but unfortunately the camera wouldn’t budge. He tried again and again but it just refused to record.

 

Nice going NK. Thank God, Nanav was smart enough to hire a professional to record the wedding. At least Payalji and Akash bhai will have some memories of their wedding. But I wanted a more personal, behind the scenes kind of take on this wedding. The professionals always seem to make the videos too impersonal and not at all intimate. Oh well.

 

NK sighed and started pushing random buttons out of frustration. To his surprise a clip started playing. He smiled.

 

At least I captured the pooja, breakfast and the decoration stages of the wedding.

 

He sat there enjoying the tape. Soon the footage showed him and other people on the roof with decorations everywhere. He saw himself putting the camera down on the swing and helping put the decorations up. He watched himself and other people decorate the roof and then after that nothing happened. He fast forwarded the tape to see what else had been captured. Towards the end of the tape, Khushi and Shyam appeared. NK was confused.

 

What is Khushiji and Jijaji doing on the roof? Why are they there in the first place?

 

He paused the tape and rewound it until it showed Khushi coming on the roof and then he played it again. Needless to say, NK was beyond shocked to see how the events unfolded on the rooftop.
