Lavanya came and stood infront of the new enchanting couple waiting for a look to be spared by either of them.

Alas!
It was futile and she had to finally intervene.

Will you two please stop gawking each other like this?
We have guests here who are stating at you two gawking at each other making it embarrassing for us.

Surprisingly not Arnav but an irritated Khushi turned towards her and said-

I am drooling at my own husband and not yours. Stop getting irritated.

She then looked towards her almost husband who was giving an auckward smile to Lavanya.

Narrowing her eyebrows and puffing she ordered to her husband-

Chote, tell her to go.

Arnav turned towards her totally horrified with the the fact that she actually called him like this infront of someone and gave her a warning look which was clearly useless.

She looked towards him angrily and said-

What?
Dont give me this bossy look okk because I am going to be your boss now onwards.

Arnav could still bear the madness of the crazy creature but what she said next was something which ASR couldnt tolerate and Arnav could not stop his eyes from rolling.

Now, lower your eyes, give me a sweet smile and tell her to go.

While Lavanya went away giving a weird look to the groom, now devoted hubby of her bestie, all Arnav could do was to stare at his wife and think how to give back a fitting reply to the weird creature, now his wife.

Khushi looked at Arnav with adorn laced eyes and was about to open up when she was taken away or say dragged by the ladies and Arnav could just let out a sigh.

An hour passed and now it was the time for the traditional marriage rituals to begin.

Arnav sat down in front of the holy fire and soon found his to be wife arriving.

Seats were taken and finally the rituals started.

While the process going on, Arnav turned beside him ro look at his wife who was looking down with a content smile on her lips which made the man's heart swell with love.

The Kanyadan process began and finally it was the time for the Pheras to take place.

The couple stood and completed the Pheras wholeheartedly, promising each other a together forever in every thick and thin and crossing every phase.

Finally, it was the time for the couple to be each other's for all seven births by him filling her maang with the Holy, pious sindoor.

He looked into her eyes for the last time assurance and could feel the tension and tears brimming up in her eyes.

His hand stilled at its place waiting for her actions..

I always wanted to marry my dream man and that's why I was not ready to marry you

She said all of a sudden which quietened the whole crowd.

Arnav looked at her painfully, understanding her without more persistance and his hand holding sindoor was started to be back when she said it again..

But then I realised that I was rejecting MY dream man.

Arnav looked at her with semi confused and semi content look while she smiled and completed her sentence making her Husband fill her maang with the most content smile ever adorning his face.

And that's why I literally ran downstairs for this moment, To marry my Dream man, to have my own love story, to have YOU as MINE and to be YOURS.

Tears dropped from her eyes the moment she felt his hands filling her partition with Sindoor and she knew, this is it.

ITS THEIR LOVE STORY AND ITS IMPERFECTLY PERFECT.

The smile she received in return was a sign that she is not going to regret it any time.

This man, her man, sitting beside her can do the world upside down to keep her happy and make her smile.

She looked at her mother who was shedding tears of happiness.

She smiled at her assuring that she made a perfect choice for her daughter.

Next she looked at her father who was contended seeing his daughter's happiness.

Her sister was busy consoling that finally her crazy sister has grown up. The happiness shows that. Isn't it?

She looked again at her husband who was busy in a conversation with the priest.

This man is the soul reason for her happiness, for her family's happiness.

She smiled at him the moment he turned towards her and all he could do was look at her with anger and suspicion.

Oowohh!

In all these she forgot that she had a major task ahead.

A task to woo her angry, sulking hubby who would shower her with his uneedy but reasonable questions.

So what?
She would pacify him with her innocent eye flicking and if that won't work than what, she would boss him.

Quiet simple, it is!

She laughed boardly when he looked at her being amused the way she was in thinking mode and could just roll his eyes piting himself.

This girl can never grow up.
Thank you di for training me for a life time babysitting.

While he laughed at the end she could just huff in anger.

How dare he?
She isn't a baby.
She.. She is just cute, a confused cute woman.

That's it.

But her husband is just elaborating it, huh!

Men!!

The function ended, the guests left and finally it was the time for the Bidaai.

Bidaai
The time when a daughter takes the most painful step with a lots of hope.

Khushi looked at her parents with a smile and that was the moment when everyone understood.

The Crazy girl has actually grown up, that too, into a matured, responsible woman.

With tears and lots of hope and happiness, the Bidaai was done and finally Khushi went with Arnav for her Happily Together Forever.

Her parents knew they won't regret and well Arnav knew that he has taken the best decision ever and his life is going to be vibrant and a journey worth it from now.

Sitting in the car,on way back home, Arnav looked at his wife who was busy wiping her tears which he hated and he promised, he won't let this woman, his woman cry ever.

The moment he promised himself this, he felt his wife keeping her head on his shoulder.

He held her hand entwining his fingers with her and both kept looking into each other's eyes while the journey, actually the most beautiful journey continued.

To be continued..
