Suhani's POV

Engagement was done....and in two weeks.....
In just two weeks my name which I carried for 25 years of my life will be change to Mrs.Singhania.....My identity as Daughter of Anant and Sharda will be changed to....Wife of Gaurav Singhania....I will be Mrs. Singhania and not Suhani anymore......

Just by thinking of these my heart aches....Why is it always have to be a women and not men to leave there house.....

Unknowingly tears crawl down my cheeks...

Maa knocked at the door....i sat up cross legged..wiping off the tears from my face not letting her know that I was upset......she came in sat beside me...

"You shouldn't hide your tears from your Ma....."she said caressing my cheeks softly.

"it's okay beta to feel sad...as you are leaving a home where you spend  most precious moments of your life.... leaving your parents you loved the most in your life... "She said calming me caressing my head.

As always she looked through my soul...

I hold her tightly by her waist as if someone will snatch her away from me.....

"Why Ma....I really don't wanna leave you and Papa...why can't he come and leave with us here...."I said whinning like child.

She chuckled...it annoyed me I was serious and she....

"this is not how it works beta...A son, brought up and given education by his parents has a moral and legal obligation to care for them when they became old....."she said calmly.

"So what about girls...we should also support our parents..."I said proving my point.

"Yes.... you should...."

"but men are not as adjustable as women are....although it's not easy for women to enter on a whole new family and accept it as her own...but for men.....you know your Papa can't adjust for a week at your Enate house.... Do you think he can live there his whole life.... hmm..." she asked.

I struggled to think a valid point to prove my part of debate.....cause Papa acts awkward and he just can't adjust there.... This was true...

"Don't think much now...have your beauty sleep" she said tucking me into the duvet.

Kissing my forehead she left.

I'm a sleep person and today I was tired too..so it wasn't hard for me to fall into a deep slumber as I closed my eyes.

The next few days were a bit hectic as a have to submit the designs and complete my work...ASAP as Ma said.

Rest of the week was full of shopping with Ma and Ishi we enjoyed alot as these two ladies bargained and fought with the shopkeepers.....then gave them what they asked for....

I  knew they are doing it to uplift my mood.... And they did it well....I was not that depressed now and was enjoying MY wedding preparations......

I was exhausted to the core from these shopping thing.....I really needed a day rest before shifting to the hotel....

Less than a week was all that left for me to enjoy myself as Ms. Suhani Solanki....

We already shifted to the hotel as guest started to arrive....

Wedding rituals had started they were less tiring in the start but got more tedious.....

It was our haldi....and all women and cousins made me look like a yellow teddy....I wonder what happen to that EGO ki DUKAN...

Then the mehandi...i enjoy applying mehndi its smell is soothing and alluring for me.... My mehndi artist was drawing those beautiful patterns on my hand while I was watching hustle and bustle created by the women, my cousins....

"what's your hubby name...?? She asked me.

"WHY..??I asked some what shocked by sudden interrogation.

"Mam it's a ritual to write the name of the groom in brides heena secretively...and if he finds it she will be gifted by her husband.....also darker the shade of heena....eternal love you both will share.. "she explained smiling.

Although I was annoyed I told her the name of that "EGO KI DUKAN"

She did her work amazingly....the patterns were so beautiful and his name was hard to find... Or say I tried just a little...

It was followed by Sangeet in night...i enjoyed it very well....when Papa and Raj uncle came with their wives on the stage I thought  what they will do.....i never saw Papa dancing or singing...so I was excited....they danced a little with some of our cousins on galla gudiyaan and a couple dance on old song like Badan pe sitaare, yeah chaand sa roshan chehra, Aaj kal tere mere pyar ke charche.....they recived so many hootings and big smile from me and Gaurav...i was amused by Papa I never knew he can dance so well.....

As for dance I love to dance...so I did a solo performance on Ghoomar....and with my cousins on morni banke, desi girl and many more.

Gaurav didn't dance much...but shocked when I did mine....maybe he thought everyone is gloomy like him.....i enjoyed alot dancing and hooting....

Gaurav was reluctant to do a couple dance at first but said yes after being pursued by his cousins and friends.....

We did a romantic couple dance on Perfect by Ed Sheeran and Soch na sake....but with out any romance.....but to my surprise he danced well.....

After the Sangeet I was tired as hell I just  jumped on my bed and to be drawn into a deep slumber......but to my amazement....even though I was tired...a sleep person....i wasn't able to sleep...

Maybe I was anxious for tommorow finally tommorow I have to leave my parents.....and will be tagged as Mrs.

I was in need of fresh air I got up from the bed move out of the room assigned to the bride walked toward the roof top.......I was startled....Papa was also present there looking at the city lighting in the dark.......

"Not able to sleep..... " I said walking toward him. He wasn't shocked as if he expected me there. 

He nodded.

"And you... "

"Same.... "

I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head on his shoulder....

"Dad I don't want to leave you..."I said almost on the verge of crying.

He smiled a little...cressing my hair said "Who told you that you are leaving....marrying someone doesn't mean that your place
in our life will be gone....just your family will be bigger from before...."

He looked at my hand and signed me to do so too...

My henna was darker than Ma...

"He loves you very much......"he said mischeviously and I nodded slightly blushing.

"You should sleep now.....bride with swollen eyes....."he said scrunching his nose slightly moving his head in a no. I chuckled

"Papa you have to promise me that you will take care of yourself and Ma...."I said  taking his hand in mine.

He nodded.

"You to promise me that you will be fine...will tell me if anything happens.....and will take good care of yourself and of your in laws....."he said taking me toward my room.

I nodded and hugged him a tight one.

"you should sleep too......or else Bride father with out beauty sleep...... I said mimicking him.

He laughed and went toward his room after tucking me into the duvet.

The Wedding Day

Ma entered into my room...sitting close to me she caressed my hair back....

"Good Morning beta.. "she softly said.

"Morning Ma... " I said smiling eye to eye.

"someone is excited for someone's wedding.... "Ishi said.

"yahhh.... "

"Don't tease her early in the morning.... "Ma said taking my side.

"Atleast wait for the night when...."Ma said winking at Ishi.

"Ma......"

"Okay Okay.....be ready we have to perform some rituals....." she said moving out if the room.

"Why so many rituals..??"I asked Ishi.

"So that you won't think of marrying again....."she said laughing hysterically.

I tossed a pillow toward her.

She dodged it and sticking out her tongue start making faces.

"Move out of my room I wanna get ready..."I said.

"Someone is desperate to became someone's....."before she could complete it I send her out of the room.

There were a lot of rituals.

I was ready in my bridal attire..the makeup artist did it pretty good too...

"Baaraat had arrived...." said Ishi running out of the room leaving me....

I was nervous as heck....

After some time Ma entered my room time to go down......

I was anxious, nervous, excited...and what not...

"Ma...i don't want to....." I said  pleading her not to take me.

"It's okay beta to happens...its the new phase of life...You will feel better soon.... "she said calming me.

"Everyone is waiting...."said one of my excited cousin.  How can be they so excited and me nervous as hell... Well it's not there wedding it's mine I sighed...

Ma nodded and made me stood up holding my shoulders...

I walked down toward the aisle.

I was nervous Ma and Ishi were  besides me... Photographers started clicking pictures telling me to look up....

I did and smiled a little..

I loosened a bit as I listen complements guest were throwing..

"beautiful..."
"goddess from heaven.."
"perfect.."
"stunning..."and want not....

As  I walked toward the stage...i looked at him....handsome as ever...the sherwani suited his build body very well

Gaurav's Sherwani

Gaurav's POV

She was looking prepossessing...the traditional pinkish red lehnga was complementing her fair complexion...

Suhani's lehnga

I was bewitched by her heavenly beauty.....unknowingly I was looking at her intensely.....she was some what nervous at start but loosen before coming to the stage...

As she stand close to me my ears got a tint of red shade...

"bro.. control...."said Rudra mockingly.

It was Jaymala time Ishi was holding her Jaymala and Rudra mine.

She was the first to put it around my neck but before she could my cousins lifted me up making it hard for her.....everyone was hooting...but she suddenly

Suhani's POV

Ahh....they think they are smart....everyone was hooting and laughing.....oh so they wanna challenge me...okay then challenge accepted...

I thought for a while then.... Suddenly an idea popped in my mind...without wasting a mere second I climbed on the couch on which we were supposed to sit...and stood on it and in no time I put the Jaymala around his neck...everyone were shocked first and then clapped...

Gaurav's POV

This girl she blows my mind by her action.... She was so contented after successfully putting Jaymala on me...now it was my turn...

I tried to put it around her neck in one go but she dodged.....everyone laughed...

A few more time I tried but she was fast to react...

After trying hard...i thought of another way.... And smirked how fast my brain works...

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward me with force...as she bumped to me.....I swiftly made her wore Jaymala with my other hand....she was shocked...everyone hooted and clapped....

After a while we were called to eat and feed each other...

As she bought morsel toward my mouth....I took it in

"Ahh.... "

"Sorry... "I said as I bit her figures unknowingly.

Suhani's Pov

Is he taking revenge or something...Aww he is Male Ego is wounded.....

As he bought the morsel toward me I quickly grabbed it in my mouth with his fingure before he could retard them.. The food was delicious especially as I bite his fingure too...

"Ahh.."

"Oops... "

He bent a little toward me and in deep husky voice said "You really want a punishment don't you... "

I gulped as I realised what he meant....

He smirked at my reaction.

Soon after eating we were called for Seven vows toward the mandap.

As we moved toward the mandap Sandhya aunty came to me and looking at my mehndi she said.."It's beautiful as you... He is lucky to have you.. "

"Thank u Aunty..."

"Ahaan....no aunty I'm your Mamma..just like Gaurav and Rudra "she said.

"Okay...... Aun... I mean Mamma... " I said nervously.

She chuckled a little.

We sat there as panditji was mumbling the sanskrit shloks...

Then it was kanyadaan Papa came forward held my hand in his squeezing them a little asuring everything is alright... And put my hand into Gaurav's hand smiling a little toward him...Gaurav smiled back reassuring him..
Panditji again started chanting some shloks..
my butts were getting numb...as if God has listened my plead panditji said stand-up for the vows...his mom tied the knot......and we stoodup 
First four vows I led rest three were led by him....
As we done taken the saptapadi....

After some rituals wedding was over....

We took the blesseing of elders by touching there feet.

As we got down the mandap gaurav searched for his shoes but they were gone.... Ishi came forward with some of my cousins holding his jutiya demanding money....
"Ikkis hazar eksooek(21,111)...."she said finalizing the bargain.

To which gaurav sighed agreed. The moment he put his hand to take out the money...Rudra came with a pair of shoes in his hand.

"Bro no need to give them money wear this and problem solve.... " Rudra said.

Everyone laughed as Ishi whinned. Raj uncle took her side saying.."beta this is a ritual he has to give money.... "

Before he could complete his sentence  Ishi pulled me toward her..
"if you want her give ikkayavan hazar eksoosek(51,111)..."ishi said increasing the price back to the original.

"Bro...give her the much she want.....I want to take Bhabhi with me.... "said Rudra desperately.
"Is that so than I should have said a higher price....."Ishi said mischievously laughing at desperate Rudra.
Everyone laughed on their childish bickering .

With no more bargaining Gaurav gave them the money.

It was vidaai...i didn't want to cry hard showing that I'm weak...but I wasn't able to control as I hugged my cousins,aunts and uncles.I hugged ishi and cried.....told her to take care of my parents... She nodded....I cried hard as reached to Ma she tried to control her tears but today they weren't in her control she too cried holding me in her embrace....Ishi separated the two of us....she led me to dad who was standing as a pillar I hugged him tightly.... He hugged me back....trying to control his tears and calm me down.... He then held me by my shoulder and kissed my head.

"We love you... " he said giving me to Gaurav who held me gentally by my shoulders and took me to the car. I was a complete crying mess.

The whole ride....I sobbed holding his arm... He caressed my head softly......
