THE DAY IS HERE!

FINALLY AFTER 4 YEARS OF STRUGGLE, THE LOVEBIRDS ARE GETTING HITCHED.

AND I'M SO EXCITED OMG!!

BTW, SHUBMAN IS DOING SO GOOD AS A CAPTAIN...I'M PROUD OF HIM SO MUCH!

SO LET'S NOT WASTE TIME....

ENJOY!

🎀

Aashna's pov:

I looked at myself in the mirror....is it really me?

Not that I'm unrecognizable because of makeup but it's really unrealistic to see yourself in a wedding lehenga.

(The lehenga)

(The necklace)

(The earrings)

(Anklets)

(And most importantly, the heels)

Wearing heels was a necessity for me.

Oonth🐫 jese ladke se shaadi karegi toh heels toh pehen ni hi padengi na!

While getting ready, I heard the commotion of a baraat. It's time!

He's come!

Omg, now my anxiety is getting out of hand.

But I have to pull the surprise that I planned out for him, the custom that the bride has to shower flowers on the baraat....

Since I can't go out, my genius cousin came up with an idea.

That we should send him flowers in a basket attached to the drone. And I think it's a stupendous solution!

So we did, attached a basket full of flowers and a hamdwritten note and sent it flying to him.

His reaction was recorded in the camera and I was able to see it, not to mention that I almost cried when he was reading the note....what else is there in the baraat?

Omg, entry in a Chrysler? Not bad Shubman Gill!

He looks so happy, dancing and all. I saw his mom also pull of some moves.

Wow keart mummy? Pehle toh mera breakup kara diya apne bete se? Ab hamari baraat mai hi naach rhi ho?

Kher....jo hua accha hua, ab chhodo bhi!

So if the baraat is here, then I'll have to finish getting ready soon, it's already over 6, I have to be there by 6:30 to have the perfect sunset varmala.

But wait.....why are they not coming inside.....ugghh, stop dancing and come inside!! I have never seen Shubman dance so much!

Agar meri sunset varmala is insaan ke dance kisi wajah se kharab huyi! Fir batati hu isey!

Finally, they decided to walk towards the alter...thank goodness!

"You realise na ki tera dupatta abhi tak fix nhi kiya hai hamne? Aur jwellery bhi?" I heard bua say.....shit.

I think I should stop wasting time and get ready.

"Haan....bua....abhi karwati hun...hehe." I replied with a nervous laugh.

I quietly sat down on the vanity seat and let the stylist do her thing with my veil while the cameraman clicked some candids.

Mom and dad were busy....so was my almost family, I just had two of my Buas and my cousins with me.

I checked the time in my phone and it was already 6:10...shit I'll have to be on stage in like.....20??!!

Is it just me or does everyone gets jitters before doing this thing?

I think I may have had a sullen expression on my face because I heard the stylist say, "Are you not liking the dupatta setting?" She said.

"Huh? No it's pretty...I just.....forget it!" I said taking a deep breath.

They continued to work on me and in like 5 minutes, everything was done.

I opened my eyes to look in the mirror and I swear I've never looked so pretty before.....is it real? Because it feels like a dream....yes I have tried my wedding lehenga before with the jwellery and makeup and hair but this time it's different....

I stood up from the vanity and wore my heels with the help of one of my cousin.

"Chalo ab tum log bahar jao....ham log bhi aate honge abhi!" Anshu bua, my younger aunt, said to the kids and they went out.

Now it was just me and them in the room....I saw the time...it was 6:20 now....fuck! I have never been that panicky in my whole life.

(A/n: idk why I was feeling like that while writing this?😭)

"Chhoti si kitni pyaari lagti thi tu....ab dekho shaadi ho rhi hai teri..." Bhawna bua said to me.

"Haan didi, aapki toh pehle hi shaadi ho gyi thi, mene iske saath pure '5 initial years of her life' bitaye hai." Anshu bua said.

"She's like my....1st baby." She said.

"Hamesha mere hi bed par toilet karti thi." She said and they both started laughing.

I let out a nervous laugh 😅.

This is supposed to be funny and embarrassing but I've never felt so nervous in my whole life.

Suddenly, one of their phones rang.

"Hame jaana hoga, abhi koi na koi aa jayega tujhe escort karne theek hai? Nervous nhi hona, you've always been a good girl right?" Bhawan bua said lovingly touching my cheek and kissing my head.

"Chalo theek hai beta, bahar milte hai!" Anshu bua said hugging me and they both left the room.

The door closed behind them with a thud, causing me to startle....I looked down at my shaky hands, trying to blink the tears that were forming....I can't do this.....

I startled with a high-pitched yelp again when the door suddenly opened again, causing me to close my eyes shut letting the tears fall.

"Aashu.....what happened?" I opened my eyes at Shahneel di's voice and felt my breathing get heavy.

"Di.....I can't do this....PLEASE, PLEASE! HELP ME, I CAN'T DO THIS!!" I had to stop because of my uneven breathing.

She ran towards me and held my hands tightly in hers....I hadn't realised that my hands had turned icy when I touched her warm ones.

"Kya ho gya achanak se?? Weren't you just fine? Come here." She said pulling me into a hug.

Fresh hot tears fell non stop from my eyes onto her bare shoulder as she kept holding me.

She pulled away and held my hand to pull me towards the bed, "Idhar aa jaldi, sit down, have this!" She said handing me a glass of water...but my hands were shaking so she held it herself to my lips making me drink from it.

I felt the cool water soothe my dehydrated insides as it made it's way through my throat, calming me down by a notch.

"Tell me what happened? Should I call shubhi?" She asked me.

I shook my head in no.

She walked towards the vanity grabbing a tissue and came towards me to dab very lightly beneath my eyes.

"Ab chup ho ja, aur shanti se bol kya problem ho gyi? Shubhi ne kucch kaha tujhse?" She asked me.

"Nhi di....." I said and started to cry again.

"Toh fir kya hua? Kisi aur ne kucch kaha? Mummy ne?" She said.

"Nhi......" She took a deep breath.

I knew I was straining her with my shit. My panic is only causing further problems, that is why I never told anyone anything.

"Toh fir kya hua baccha? Is it because you're leaving your home?" She said.

"It's because I'm nervous, and...and, and what if something goes wrong? When I'm walking down the aisle?With our lives? With our relationship? THEN WHAT?!" I said.

"Oh ho.....shut up! Ek thappad padega! Why you're scared? You love shubhi and he loves you! Nothing can go wrong! Now please don't be scared...and think about him, he's so happy, he's waiting for you, I know you're scared but I AM WITH YOU every step of the way! No matter what happens! I'll never ever turn my back on you....and it's the same for him...he loves you. Believe in your bond, live it instead of being scared away." She said.

"I know di but just imagine if..." She stopped me before I could go further.

"Do not imagine shit that can never happen." She said.

By this time I had calmed down a bit. Taking a deep breath, I stood up and walked to look in the mirror.

I leaned in closer to see that a bit of the kajal had smuged, not noticeable but I can never go out like that, ocd shit yk?

"Theek hai makeup, ab chal jaldi, it's almost time!" Di said.

"No! Di dekho mera makeup smudge ho gya hai!" I said walking closer to her.

She leaned in and checked my face.

"Kya kharaab hi gya? I cant6see anything?" She said.

I closed my one eye, "Look at the kajal!" I said.

She pursued her lips and picked up a tissue from the vanity wiping the kajal beneath my eyes and reapplying it.

"Ab ho gya? Chalein?" She asked me.

I looked in the mirror one last time, "Haan, chalo." I said.
.
.

I could hear the chaos of the wedding on the other side of the door.

I

cluctched the bouquet of binded scarlet flowers in my hands as the time got closer.

Yes, I'm carrying a bouquet because....why not? Or is it the fact that my author is too whitewashed so needs to intervene with her western ways?

(A/n: Ignore her guys!)

The tune of 'Never worn white' by katy Perry starts to play on the piano and I heard the other side go quite. We just needed a tune for my entry, not lyrics.

Itne shareef log ki shaanti se khade hain?

(A/n: logbaag! Wo wala song jaake sun lo kisi ne nhi suna toh!)

The large rajasthani door opened and I saw a long wide aisle in front of me, leading me up to the altar where the man of my life stood with his hands together in a hold.

I saw Shubman look up to me and we made eye contact....for the first and the only time being the bride and the groom.

I started walking towards him to the tune of the chorus in slow steady steps on this slippery floor in 5 inch heels.

I saw a smile make it's way to shubman's face and he smirked to hide it while blushing.

Seeing him blush, one crept it's way to my cheeks and I had to look down to avoid smiling too widely.

I looked up and saw my family and his sitting on both sides of the aisle.

Diverting my gaze back to him, I read an emotion in his eyes that were now gleaming slightly with raised eyebrows and he gulped to keep his emotions at bay.

Ro kyu nhi rha? Why is he restricting his emotions?

I felt happy overwhelmed tears fill my eyes bluring my vision as now I was about to reach the altar at a few steps.

Shubman stepped down and started to walk towards me, pulling me in a hug as we collided.

I heard a few people gasp and laugh in the background.

Then I closed my eyes and blinked my eyes, letting my tears fall on his shoulder. I love this fucking man and no matter what! I'm never letting him go unless he wants to.

(A/n:🥺)

We pulled apart and looked at each other.

I looked down and wiped my tears with my finger.

"Are you ready?" He asked me in a breathy voice.

"I don't know, should we do this?" I whispered back.

"Maybe...." He said and gave me a dimpley smile, one that I returned.

He held my jewelery clad hand tightly in his and lead me to the altar.

Once we were there, I looked at the crowd of our relatives as they seated themselves and I waved at everyone cheekily, still holding Shubman's hand with my other.

"Aashna, that person that enters your life out of nowhere and suddenly means everything to you, you are my that personperson. And I knew, I did from that very first moment we met, it was....not love at first sight exactly, but familiarity. Like: oh hello, it's you! It's always gonna be you!" He said making me chuckle.

Then with a deep breath, he went on, "I never thought anyone would make me smile, laugh or capture my heart as fast as you have. I have fallen for you completely, everything you do, you say, everything you are...you are my first thought in the morning, my last thought before I fall asleep and almost everything in between. I don't care how complicated this gets, I still want you, every day for eternity." He finished with a blink of his eyes that said many things yet nothing to me at the same time.

I took a deep breath and looked at the evening sky to collect my thoughts, looking at him again, I began, "Shubman, you and I, we're messy, we're complicated, but we're real, effortless, crystal. I may not be your first kiss, your first date or your first love, and that's fine." My voice cracked a bit as I tried to bottle up my emotions.

"Because I just...and literally just want to be your last. The thing is that....I think you needed to happent to me. I wasn't looking when we met, but you turned out to be exactly everything I was looking for. We met by fate, and became friends by choice, but falling in love with you, I had no control over. Now, I wanna make you so happy, that you can't stop smiling sometimes, and I wanna make you feel really loved so you don't doubt anything for a second, and as I keep learning new stuff about you, I wanna prove to you that how incredible I think you are. Each day, till eternity." I finished with my tears threatening to fall.

I saw Shubman scrunch his eyebrows, gulping down his emotions.

Aarya and Shahneel di came forward with a large tray of varmalas in their hand.

The tune changed to that of '10 thousand hours' by Justin Bieber but this time with a playful mix, as he picked up the varmala.

I looked down as he put the varmala around my neck and heard the coloured crackers so off. Everyone clapped and cheered and threw flowers on us.

Then I picked up my varmala and held it up but then I saw his cousins come up from behind to lift him up and tried to do so.

He felt himself being lifted and said, "Nhi nhi nhi, guys don't! Mat karo!" He stopped them.

Then he went down on knee and looked down as I felicitated him with the garland around his neck once again making the place erupt on cheers.

You could see the silhouette of our author hoist up an enormous 'hara jhanda' on a distant hill from far away in her pyjamas and a messy bun.

(A/n: chup ho ja Aashna! Warna abhi tujhe story mai slip karwa ke bezzati karwa dungi!)

Ahem!

He stood up and held my waist to pull me closer and leant down to place a sweet kiss on my lips.

I had no shame in kissing him in front of all the people, but sure I blushed as our lips separated and looked down smiling.

Then we turned towards everyone and he held up my hand to show it to everyone.

Our friends and relatives jumped on stage to congratulate us, but Shubman didn't leave my hand for even a second.

Did I mention he was looking ravishing in that attire?

We were made to sit down and people came and clicked pictures with us for like an hour, it was hard to smile for so long, my jaw is hurting now.

Guys....author decided that she will not write further and said that she'll write the remaining wedding in the next part.

Meri shaadi aadhi chhod ke jaa rhi hai yeh *scoffs*. Pta nhi kya problem hai isey mujhse?

(A/n: problem ki bacchi! Chup chap stage par bethi reh ja! Shubman se shaadi karwa di, abhi bhi complain kare jaa rhi hai!)

SO GUYS....HERE WAS IT! TELL ME HOW IS IT?

THE NEXT PART WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY, STAY HERE!
