They were enjoying their pre wedding period , the glow and the happiness their face held these days just increased ten fold on the day of Reception .

But unlike to it , they both grew restless when they were said to sleep . How could they , it's such a huge thing in their lives and their mind conjured every thing in front of their eyes .

Varun sighed and sat up caressing his temple , he slowly got down from the bed he shared with his best mate , Arjun .

He slowly reached the terrace of the mandap . The cool air blowing flowed past him , making his body stiff a second to adjust to the cool air .

He slowly walked to the back side when he saw someone standing there , he was about to turn and leave when something in him told to go there .

He slowly walked towards the person to be founds as Nithya . She was standing there clutching her body to herself .

He slowly placed a hand in her shoulders and she panicked a bit before turning and catching his eyes . He sighed a bit , "Thoongalaya!" He asked .

She nodded negatively and turned to look at the stars again . "Everything will change from tomorrow ! We will have more responsibilities " she said while looking at the stars twinkling above them .

He slowly hugged her from the back placing his head on her shoulders where she visibly settled in his embrace .

"We will handle everything together " he said hugging her more tighter . She nodded her head and they both shared a comfortable silence .

"Polama" she asked , he hummed but both didn't have the heart to move from there . After a brief moment he turned her and kissed her forehead , "I love you" he said looking into her eyes .

That was what she needed at the moment , all her insecurities and doubts flew past her , "I love you too" she said .

The made their to the room with some unsaid happiness , their restlessness was far away , maybe this is what if feels like to hold someone in your life and that's all it takes ! Just that someone is your life and all your hurdles seem to run far away .

This is what they mean by soulmates isn't it ? No lengthy paragraphs , no cliche dialogues , no need for reassurance , no need to worry about the misunderstanding .

Just the person by our side will make our day brighter , makes our lips curve a little more up , makes our heart warm and life colourful .

This realisation hit upon both and they smiled thinking about it . Some random one looking at the artistic photographs which said far more than any one understand .

He understood the depth of ther photographs and she understood his unsaid words . Both completed each other .

Both had a few hours of rest before they were woken up to perform all the rituals and stuff .

(A/N : I'm not gonna write about the rituals and all , sorry but I just wanted to finish it like I always wanted just simply )

After all the pre nupital rituals were completed they were sent to get ready for the wedding .

He was sitting there in front of the agni waiting for his bride , it's just surreal to him . If someone would have told him that he would get married to someone he loves like his world he would have laughed .

But now he was waiting impatiently to get a glimpse of her . Arjun who stood there came beside him , "Poru da dei vita elunthu odiduva Pola avala paka " he said chuckling to calm him .

Varun just glared him and rolled his eyes . "Mapla sir , porumai kadalinum perithu" he said again and Varun chuckled .

Arjun kept him calm by reminiscing about the days they all went out and Varun entered a dreamy state .

He was enjoying everything when Arjun shook him again . "Enna da " he whined . And Arjun laughed .

"Rituals iruku man " Arjun said chuckling and Varun smiled sheepishly .

After Varun started doing the rituals, Arjun decided to see his sister and he slowly went to see her .

There she was beautifully sitting in the bed and was silent when others where teasing and chuckling . He requested everyone to wait outside so that he can talk to his sister .

"Epdi iruken" she asked , "Sumar thaan inum nalla panirukalam " he said earning a smack in his arms to which he chuckled .

"I'll miss you there you know ana I'll come running to see you whenever I want " he said holding her hands . She rested her head on his shoulders .

"Nithya , Avan ethunna panalum irritate panalum understand him and tolerate that idiot , tell him what he did when he is cool again . He will surely understand you always okay " He said and she hummed .

"Selfie eduthukalam ah " he asked and she sat upright , "Ethuna aagidicha mandaila adi patrucha da " she asked seriously . He laughed out loud .

"Illa nane avlo kenjunalum nee Vara matayae inaiku neeya kekuraya athan " she said looking seriously at him .

"Unaku sona puriyathu va va " he said and pulled her down to sit beside . He then took a selfie .

"Cheri I'm going there Avan illana freak out aaga arambichiduvan" he said chuckling and she nodded smiling .

She sat there with a smile then , how instantly her brother lifted up her mood , she was glad about the people surrounding her .

Understanding partner , lovable brother , supportive parents , and best sisters who are friends too .

Harini , Preethi and Narmadha came in , to check on her again and they talked for sometime to relax her .

Then they were called , Varun was doing the rituals perfectly and he was immersed in it and when someone said to bring her , his ears perked up and he looked at the side she will come .

There she came looking like an angel descended down in her perfect dress . She looked perfect in every sense and he couldn't help but stare at her without blinking .

She chuckled a bit seeing his expression and that made him come out of trance . He smiled seeing her and waved a hi to which she nodded smiling .

She was made to sit beside him and he smiled wider seeing her closer . The accessories she wore complemented more and she looked absolutely dead drop gorgeous .

"En da ipdi pathutu iruka" she asked slowly which only he could hear . He chuckled softly "sollu pls " she whined . "Avlo Azhagu" he said making her blush to a deeper shade of red .

Harini , Preethi and Narmadha noticed and they bent down to tease the hell out them even at this time .

After their teasing session was complete both the bride and groom were on full mode blush and those were perfectly captured by the photographer.

When kanyadhanam took place , Nithya teared up a bit , he gripped her hand stronger to assure her that everything is okay .

Even her parents teared up but smiled when they found that Varun was comforting her . They knew they took the right choice by accepting them .

It was time for him to tie the nupital chain and she will be his then , and he will be hers . It was the most important of their life's .

The priest handed him the chain and he bought it in his hands . He took it around her neck and he looked in her eyes for the final confirmation and she blinked her eyes with tears .

He tied the nupital chain completing him and her . Tears dropped from both of their eyes and they were happy tears . The remaining knots were to be tied by sister in law and Harini did it with such a glowing face .

He looked at her with much love that he needed to convey but couldn't and she understood it in a glance . She mouthed a I love u again and he felt such a happiness in his life .

Both felt complete that time and now he was asked to adorn her hairline with kumkum . He perfectly adorned her hairline with it and few found their way to her nose and everyone cheered saying Varun loves her more .

They smiled at all the statements and they were now asked to complete their vows and they took each vow with such sincerity and that reflected in their faces .

They promised themselves to other for lifetime with such love and understanding and both were overwhelmed seeing the sincerity in their betterhalfs eyes .

After their wedding was completed they were blessed by everyone and all the guests were leaving one by one and that was time for the fun and other rituals and all was completed with smile in all their faces .

And that was time for Nithya to reach her in laws house technically Varun's .

The couple were lead to the car parking were they will leave to Varun's house . It such a heavy moment for Nithya , its totally gonna be different from how . She is Mrs. Varun now .

Varun held her hands tight when they walked . Once reached nithya's mother first hugged her and told her few things which she was hearing from the day she was engaged . She nodded her head with tears .

And now it was her Father , his were misty but he stayed strong for his daughter who hugged him so tight . He caressed her hair and kissed her forehead . He took her face , "You will be the perfect wife for him , take care of him okay princess " he said and she broke again . He comforted her and looked at Varun .

"Take care of her pa , kozhantha thanama panuva epana Ava Mela kova padama pathukonga " he said and Varun held his father in law's hand and assured him again .

Arjun was standing there quite all this time . Nithya went to him , he looked at her with tears in his eyes . They weren't born together but lived like one .

"Ipayavathu solu how do I look" she asked with tears flowing . He quickly hugged her tight  . "You look so beautiful Pissasey" he told chuckling in between his sobs . And she cried hugging him .

Varun came and placed a hand on Arjun's shoulder giving him the comfort he needed . They both then parted again , "Avala pathi nan unta solanum nu illa , you know her better . Just treat her the way she deserves . Illana I'll be there to break your nose okay " he said slightly chuckling .

Varun nodded smiling and hugged him now . Varun held Nithya's hands tightly giving her the warmth she needs at this hour . Ans she gladly held his .

They sat in their car and started towards their new journey ! Their new life which they were gonna cherish forever !

They were truly bound to be with each other EVER AFTER .
