PART 16
Finally the day of the wedding had arrived.
It was the haldi ceremony in the morning.
The
ritual continued and both Arnav and Khushi performed now lifeless as
what was to come next. They were incomplete with each other.
And no other person could replace then in their life.
Khushi's parents, Shashi and Garima Gupta saw their daughter dressed up in a bridal attire looking stunning as ever.
She was too beautiful beyond words and they knew any guy would easily fall in love with her.
Anjali put her kajol at the back of Anav's ear to save him from the evil eyes.
She
didnt understand what had made her brother to suddenly change his
decision and get married but Arnav would never talk about the topic.
They
both did look stunning but the sparkle in their eyes and the happiness
behind their smile was missing. And that was understood by Payal,Akash,
Anjali, Shyaam and Lavanya ofcourse.
Lavanya
was surprisingly not anymore interested in Arnav because she had
finally accomplished her wish to take revenge on Arnav for rejecting
her. And she had finally realised that in this process she had developed
a soft corner for Shyaam.
Unbelievable! wasnt it?
Akash
and Payal were in a relationship and were dating each other.After
meeting the office party, they had met each other and spent some quality
time together realising their love for each other.
They
had told each other about their respective sibling's wedding and had
realised it was better not to inform then but to allow them to move on
in their life.
Another sweet love birds!
Arnav
sat on the horse/mare and went on to the a old-fashioned huge mansion
where the wedding was to be conducted. How he had wished it would have
been Khushi's house but indeed it was not possible.
Cursing
himself for diverting his thoughts in the wrong direction, he got down
and briskly walked up to the entrance. He was welcomed grandly along
with other members of his family by his in-laws.
He sat on the mandap where the wedding was supposed to be conducted..
The pandit kept on reciting mantras and then the bride was asked to join.
Arnav
saw his bride sit beside him, her face covered in a dupatta as per the
rituals. The wedding started followed by the groom putting sindoor on
the brides forehead, mangalsutra on her neck and then the seven rounds
or pheres around the fire tying their knot for seven lives altogether,
finally declaring them as husband and wife.
Arnav looked at his now wife in dupatta. He would never spoil her life because of him. He had to tell her the truth.
The
truth which he had been hiding from everyone, from his khushi and from
his ownself. He would say it all to his wife and finally let her decide
what she would like to do.
After
the marriage, Arnav returned to his home, the Raizada mansion with his
wife. As per the customs, he had to carry his wife in his arms and
enter. And that was exactly what Arnav had to do. He carried his wife
and entered the mansion with her.
After all these post-marital rituals, Arnav had finally got the chance to talk to his wife.
As
he stood in front of his room just to enter and meet his wife, he felt
his whole family there. He had to fight, beg and request so as to reach
his wife and enter his room.
Arnav sighed. He had finally managed to enter his room after giving all the money he had to his sisters.
He
looked at the CD which Shyaam had given him. Arnav had made sure that
Shyaam had deleted that particular video from his moblie and from his
bloddy mind.
And
Shyaam wasnt so bad too. He had made Arnav marry to some other random
girl and now he was a free bird, single and ready to mingle with his
khushiji.
But little did he know that Khushi was already married...
You all already know what's gonna come up next!
