The sun was shining brightly on the Haldi day of Shubman and Kiara, casting a warm, golden glow over the entire celebration. Kiara, in her room, was getting ready with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She slipped into a striking orange kurta, a color symbolizing festivity and tradition.

Her kurta was a masterpiece of design. The top featured a deep, sleeveless cut, embellished with silver and white embroidery that formed intricate floral and paisley motifs. The matching pants mirrored the top's embroidery along the hem, with heavy embellishments that included beads and sequins, adding a touch of sparkle to the ensemble.

Kiara's accessories were chosen with care. Her earrings were long and traditional, featuring a jhumka design, a bell-shaped piece typical in South Asian jewelry, adorned with delicate pearls. Her matching necklace complemented the earrings with similar pearl detailing and other precious stones. A dupatta draped over one shoulder had a broad border richly adorned in silver and gold tones, harmonizing perfectly with the kurta's embroidery.

She tied her hair into a messy braid, the loose strands framing her face beautifully. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile. She looked stunning, ready for the Haldi ceremony.

Descending the stairs, Kiara saw a lively scene unfolding. Ishan and Shreyas were splashing haldi on Shubman, who was laughing heartily, his face glowing with happiness. Kiara's heart swelled with love at the sight.

Taking her place at the bride's spot, Kiara's haldi function began. Her friends, Athiya, Anushka, Ritika, Sanjana, Natasha, Aditi, Devisha, and Genieve, gathered around her. Each one applied haldi to Kiara's face, arms, and legs, their laughter and joy filling the air. Kiara's smile was bright and genuine, reflecting the happiness of the moment.

After her haldi, Kiara was seated next to Shubman. The tradition required them to be doused with water, symbolizing purification and new beginnings. Once drenched, they both headed to their rooms to shower and change.

Fresh and clean, Shubman came out and sat next to Virat. Virat looked at him with a mixture of nostalgia and pride. "My kiddo is getting married," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

Shubman smiled, feeling the weight of the moment. Soon, Kiara joined him, looking radiant. Anushka approached them with her phone, showing the pictures she had taken during the ceremony.

"Shub, I will post one and then you will post one," Kiara said, excitement in her voice.

Shubman nodded, watching as Kiara opened her Instagram and carefully chose the best pictures. She posted one, capturing the essence of their joy and tradition.

Embracing the warmth of Haldi, stepping into a lifetime of love.❤️❤️ @shubmangill

Later, Kiara and Shubman found a quiet spot by the pool in the resort. Kiara rested her head on Shubman's shoulder, sighing contentedly. "I love you a lot," she whispered.

Shubman smiled, his heart full. "I love you too, baby," he replied, his voice soft. They kissed, a tender moment that spoke volumes of their bond. Kiara looked into Shubman's eyes and said, "We will live together, Shub. Can't believe it's happening."

Shubman nodded, his expression dreamy. "Yeah, it seems like a dream. A beautiful dream." He then lay down with his head in Kiara's lap. She began caressing his hair, and Shubman looked at the pool, a contented smile on his face.

Their serene moment was interrupted by Ishan, who approached them hurriedly. "Arre, you guys are here? We searched for you everywhere," he said, his voice full of concern.

Kiara quickly shushed him. "Shub is sleeping, be quiet," she whispered.

Ishan nodded, placing a finger on his lips. "Go and tell everyone that we are here," Kiara instructed softly. Ishan nodded again and left to relay the message.

Kiara looked down at Shubman, who was now dozing off. She kissed his forehead gently, a smile playing on her lips. Taking out her airpods, she put them in her ears and played her favorite song, all the while continuing to caress Shubman's hair. The day had been perfect, and this quiet moment of peace was the perfect ending to their Haldi ceremony.
