14th April, 2022 >>> The day my dream became REAL. My Fairytale was out for everyone to see and believe. My ship sailed and how. My babies got married surrounded by their dearest people, in the place they love the most - their home/balcony! Everything about those two days were magical and I don't think I can get out of that trance EVER! Still in a shock daze ... will probably stay the same until they pop beautiful babies out haha! 

Unfortunately for reasons never ending, I wasn't able to enjoy the wedding like how I wanted. This was an event I waited for most than anybody else, even them! I was stuck with guests, sickness, work, studies and religious festivities the same damn week and pretty much the whole of April~! It was a nightmare to miss out on those two days and the aftermath of that crazy week! I don't think I will ever get over that pain. But I'll take my baby steps into relishing those memories in my own pace... be it on my ig fp (ranbir_aliafc) or in here :) 

I saw a gush of followers and reads elevate after the wedding and even few days before it! The book has gone from 33k to 33.9k in less than a month! They truly crashed the internet and how<3 More about their wedding reactions will come in my NOTE section for each chapters now onwards. We are inching closer to 40k!! And its crazyyyy amazing! Thank you sm for joining in and staying so far with me. 

Since all I can think of is THEIR WEDDING, I will most probably go with my ff of how the real wedding must have gone <33 Ik we're all waiting for the official wedding footage/videos/more pics etc but knowing Aloobir and their obsession with privacy, we may barely get those crumbs. So I hope my book helps y'all to relive those days again (with me) and see it from my eyes. 

This will go again in a series (check my previous wedding series in the book). Hope it doesn't bores ya'll :p Since I have already done one. But this one's from their real life wedding so it should be fun. Trust me when I say I can publish an entire book just to write all the wedding scenarios I have for them in my head! I'M THAT FREAK HAHA 

Btw, FAIRYTALE IS TRULY THE BEST TITLE FOR THEIR/OUR BOOK ;)

[Ayan's POV] ~ priest/matchmaker/cupid deserves a special chap for what he did ;) 

"We are getting married. This thursday. 13th will have mehendi, ganesh pooja and few other rasams. 14th subah haldi, pagdi ki rasam, skipping chooda (will tell you later) and dopahar shaadi phir raat ko party. 16 ko chota sa party for close friends and fam. Now show up at my door RIGHT NOW."

I stared at Ranbir's chat for as long as I could. It didn't made any sense. 

Getting married this week without giving me a prior notice ? Wow. I do have amazing friends! 

I took a quick shower and hopped inside my car. They better say this was a prank! For God's sake it's not even the year end! Why would they even rush with things when none of us have prepped for anything ? I ran a hand over my face with a loud grunt. 

Kill me already! 

My eyes bawled at the scene in front. Rows of media van had parked themselves out of Vastu and the whole of Pali Hill road, leading up to my bestie's home. Okay, this is scaring me more. 

I pressed the horn a bit too louder to get some space. The guards let me in and I hurriedly parked the car below their building. Running up to the lift, I pressed every button they had. Just get me somewhere, gosh. 

Reaching Alia's floor, I met with Grisha, her manager and almost everyone in Alia's team including her bodyguards, styling team, extra staff, every single one of them. "You are not kidding me," I walked up to Grisha with disbelief written on my face. She grinned at me with a nod. "I know right ? We were sort of expecting you first. They're waiting inside." I gave her a quick hug and rushed to get in. 

Their combined condo had another story to tell. A group of absolute strangers walked to and fro inside their hall. Someone was up on a ladder inspecting their ceiling. Another lying on the floor rolling out a wallpaper or something. Maids flurried across rooms. And my dearest friends spotted me amidst the bustle. 

"Ayan! There he is," Ranbir's eye shone at me and I couldn't help but give him a 'wtf are you doing' look. Alia giggled next to him as they walked towards me. Before I could ask or say, they pounced me with a bear hug. I stood like that for a minute or two and sighed deep. They were getting married! I got that much atleast. 

We shared a comfortable silence and I chose to break it. 

"Just declare it now c'mon. Let this sink in." 

They slipped hands into each other's and laughed. "We are getting married!!" 

I threw my hands in the air and smiled for the first time since I woke. Who cares if it's rushed ? My two fav people in the world are about to start their forever. And I manifested it alright ?

"Let's do this better," hugged them once again with all my heart. 

"I was hoping this to be some prank. I don't know what made y'all rush things up. Like April mein kaun shaadi karta hai bhai ? Have you seen how hot and humid it is ? But theek hai if this is what y'all want then Congratulations. I'm so so so up for this. We've all waited for this moment, this news and I cannot be more happier for you two. Thank you so much for finally deciding to do the right thing." 

My speech was received with a resounding clap making me realize there were more people inside. Shaheen and Alia's girl gang came out from her room in cheers. "That was so touching Ayanu. You need not make them cry so quick." Kanch took a jibe at me, nothing new. 

"We'll see who cries kitna zyada." I knew she or Karan would win. 

"I won't cry at all. Like a little maybe ? But not much. I cannot let tears ruin my wedding mood. Y'all can cry on my behalf." To be bride chirped with a glow quite evident on her face. "I have my bet on Ranbir," chipped Shah. I shook my head in a big no. "Are you serious ? He would in his heart but never in front of that many people. It's just not happening, be ready to loose Shah." 

"It's just close family and friends so he can chill and cry," said Meghna, one of her bestie. I had my second not so much of a shock but still a big one. "How many are invited ?" They shared a cheeky eye contact before dropping the bomb. 

"Less than fifty! Our immediate family members, some extended folks, closest friends and that's it." Sounds just about them. Intimate and extremely private. What was I expecting ? 

"Where ?" came my next relevant question. This was followed by a round of giggles from the girls. "You would never guess." I searched hard into all of their faces and tried to think of a place that was dear to them in some ways. 

"Chembur can't handle all of us right ? I know you aren't going abroad, somewhere in Mumbai ... outskirts ?" Alia laughed and answered, "Your are standing at one of our venue(s)!" 

That was all it took for me to slump into their yellow cushion.

"I knew it! He would react this way only.. guess we weren't the only dramatic one's" Krupa clicked hands with the rest, all of them enjoying my reaction. 

Ranbir sat next to me and had his hand over my shoulder, rubbing my arms. 

"No place better than where we spent all of our time in. Hers and mine will be used for smaller functions while the new condo will be fully dedicated to Mehendi and Wedding functions. It was her idea to get married in our balcony. I could not think of anything more personal, elegant and precious than our home. There's so much story already in here and here we add something more special." 

I sat thinking of what he said. He was right. They did spent five years of their relationship, cooped up in his condo initially before she bought another one below him some years later. Then he bough a third one in the same building for future use. Now they have three solid spaces to pick and choose for their private wedding. How dreamy! 

"We did considered Chembur house or even Rk studios for that matter. Krisharaj is still under construction or else that could have been a good choice too. I love our apartment(s) so much. They're spacious and can be beautifully moulded into what we want. The new one is non furnished and thus we can play up and create so much in that space. I have a rough idea of how I want the decor to be. We asked Amrita to help us with it and she agreed. It should begin today." 

Both Alia and Ranbir had back to back shoot schedules up until this moment. Inspite of their exhaustion, the marriage glow had already begun it's charm on them. Love does make you look ethereal. 

I loved their ideas. All of them huddled next to me as they explained the hows whats and whens to me in brief over a cup of coffee. This could possibly be the next trend setter wedding. Two biggest superstars of our generation, Alia being a literal queen of the moment, going against the big fat wedding norm. Sealing the deal in a private affair. They don't even plan to host a massive reception! 

"What's the whole point of spending the night faking smile to colleagues/people we barely know on a personal front ? Yes they belong to our industry but that's all about it. I don't want to fake my emotions. I want to put down my hair and chill with people I care and love. This is our day. Not theirs to strut in with their designer wears! If we marry, we do it and celebrate with people who matter." Ranbir had a good point there. This would also cut the obvious 'oh did his ex attended' victim card meme/trolls galore. 

"Love this. There could not be a better planning than what you just revealed. I agree with all your points. Just buy me my dresses for the functions." They laughed. 

We talked the whole day. Food and drinks kept coming. Conversation never stopped. It was a beginning to many such afternoons and evenings with the people I love, they love. The beginning of a fairytale that I am blessed to be a small part of.

To Ranbir and Alia, 

My most dearest and closest people in the world. 

My safest place ... my home. 

A love that spread like fire, beyond the movie and into life. 

To love, light and a path of forever. 

Here's presenting our film's poster/song teaser/trailer/the whole film attached with this news. 

#LoveIsLight #Brahmastra 

NOTE : The ending is my fav : p 

So I might skip the 16th party scene from this series. But I'm planning to do Mehendi day and wedding day chapters for sure. They might come in multiple chapters but under this name - RanbirAliaKiShaadi. Don't confuse it with the chapters 'Wedding'! Those are separate completely diff wedding ideas of my own. 

Now I cannot promise to be punctual with the updates. I do NOT have free time for myself AT ALL. Today was a lil exception (less work) so I got to write this. I appreciate some of you asking for updates but PLEASE DON'T SPAM ME ALL THE TIME. You can go back to your fav chapters and read them or write comments on what you loved etc. It gets annoying seeing frequent' update karo' order type comments. I don't owe anyone anything. This is a free platform and my book is for free. Anyone can enjoy it. I also have a life beyond being admin of a fanpage or being this book's author. Things do get hard. 

Had this wedding not happened, I was beginning to loose interest in writing chapters for the book. In a way it all occurred for the best. I got much needed inspo and will to write and imagine. I will update but Only when I get time to do so. Till then I'm sorry you have to wait. I truly sincerley appreciate all of your love and support so far. This has been the only reason why I haven't yet given up on this one. 

My babies are man and wife now. That still needs to sink and cement. But what I truly love is the fact that they get to promote and be the face of Brahmastra as husband and wife !! Cannot wait any longer for the interviews, launch's and promos to begin. I want ot know their story, how it all began (none of us know the real deal), the reason behind a quick wedding, how it all went, their experience, EVERYTHING! Fingers crossed for a kwk epi featuring them "!" 

I will try my best to assemble details of the wedding and other inside stuff that I know like y'all and try breathing life into it with a tinge of imagination. Please DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE ON EVERY CHAPTERS HENCEFORTH and COMMENT:) 

Love and Light (kesariya tera needs to DROPPPP)
