|2 days later|

Today was their wedding day. Yes, today was the day when Naina and Viraj were finally going to tie the knot. Naina leaned against the bed headboard and recalled all the moments that she spent with him. It was so surreal. She was going to marry him in a few hours.

Nothing had gone according to her plan. Her 23rd birthday was in another two days. They were supposed to tell her parents that day but her parents ended up coming here which reversed the entire plan. She knew that this was the last few minutes of peace that she was going to get.

After this she's going to be bombarded by her friends. Who will force her to do make up, talk about bridal wear blah blah. She glanced at her hands which wereadorned with henna. She traced his named that was concealed between designs making it hard for him to find. Her mehndi appeared super dark, which caused her friends to tease her endlessly saying that Viraj loves her lot. All Naina could do was sit there and blush like a tomato.

She was relived that her shopping was finally over. She had bought a red saree and some anarkali suits which she planned on wearing after the wedding. It wasn't a big wedding, it was just a court marriage but for the both of them that meant more than anything.

She smiled when she heard her phone ping indicating that someone had sent her a text. That someone was none other than her soon to be husband. "Can't wait for today! I'm finally going to have my family!" Naina rolled her eyes and decided to reply.

"I'm waiting eagerly too! Also you already have me and Veer! This is just to make it legal! Remember that!" Naina sent the text and sighed waiting for his reply. "As you say ma'am! Okay I got to go! Annie has already started fussing over me! If I don't get ready now she'll have my head on the platter! See you at the end of the aisle!"

Naina laughed while reading the text. "Well, looks like yours started a bit early than mine! Anyway I'll see you at the end of the aisle!" After sending the text Naina shut her phone and put it on the bedside table. Their muhurat also known as auspicious time was at 11:30 exactly after 4 hours.

Naina was enjoying her peaceful time she was surprised that none of her friends had barged in yet. Just then Isha and Neena stormed inside the room while Naina groaned and banged her head against the board. "It's a good thing your awake! One less thing to do!" Naina rolled her eyes.

"Well, don't just sit there! Get up! Move your ass! Go take a bath! We have lots of things to do!" Naina groaned leaning her head against the bed post. "Please! Give me a few more minutes! Besides it's not even a big wedding! What are you fussing about?" Neena and Isha shook their head in disapproval.

"So what? It's still your special day! You have to look good! Now get up and go!" Neena dragged her out of bed while Isha shoved a towel into her hand and together both her friends pushed her into the washroom. Naina sighed and decided to take a shower.

Meanwhile Viraj had already taken a shower and was now standing with a towel around his waist. He ws staring at the picture of his parents. How he did he wished they were here with him today. Taking a deep breath he walked towards his wardrobe, placing the photo carefully he pulled out a jewellery box.

Nestled in the red velvet box was his mom's nuptial chain. He smiled as he traced in with his finger tips. It was a chain with back beads and had a butterfly pendant. This was the chain he was planning to give Naina. Nuptial chain or most commonly know as mangalsutra represented a chain that a married wears.

He smiled as he stared at it. A few more hours and this would be where it belonged. With Naina, on her beautiful neck telling the whole world that she belonged to him and no one else. His mother wanted Naina to have this. He could have bought a new one but his mom was the one who had written in a will in case she wasn't there for his marriage she wanted her daughter in law to wear this one.

This was not the only gift his mom has reserved for her future daughter in law. She has also kept aside some beautiful gold bangles which she insisted that Viraj gift her future daughter in case she wasn't there to do so. Viraj sighed and a stray tear slipped his eye. He wiped it off and took a deep breath.

Annie banged on his door. "Viraj! Get out right now! If you are not ready by now I'm going to punch you! I need to make sure you look presentable!" Viraj rolled his eyes but nonetheless answered her because if he doesn't he was sure he'll get punched later.

"I'm coming Annie! Give me 10 minutes! Jeez! Calm down woman!" Annie screeched and Viraj hissed realizing he had said the wrong words. He cleared his throat and wore a simple red Kurta that had sequence of design on it. The colour was much closer to marron. You could say that it was a perfect blend of both the colours.

He ran his fingers through his hair and stared at his reflection in he mirror. "Let's go get our girl!" He whispered to himself. There was still time but he was mentally preparing himself.

He opened the door to find Arjun standing there with an evil smirk on his face. He placed this hands on Viraj's shoulders and shook his head with a laugh. "You my friend are in big trouble! Why did you have to tell her to calm down? She's already raging mad! Go apologize before she makes your life a living hell!"

Viraj groaned shaking his head he walked towards the kitchen where Annie was mixing some batter furiously. She ws muttering under her breath. Meera was sitting there looking all adorable and staring at her mom with an amused expression. Veer was in the hall sitting on the couch, he was engrossed watching something on the television.

Viraj cleared his throat to catch Annie's attention. Annie whipped her head with an irritated look. " I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that! Thank you for all of this really!" Annie sighed melting immediately. She smiled slightly at him. She patted his shoulder and hugged him. "You look great bro! I'm so happy for you!"

Viraj sighed and hugged he back. "Thank you Annie! I couldn't have done any of this without your support!" Annie scoffed and pulled away. "Of course! Anything for you! Now go and spend some time with your son! I have lots to do! There's only an hour and half left!"

Meera was staring at the adults with a curious expression. "Annie! Can you chill? Really! Don't drive yourself crazy! It's only lunch! We can always order something from outside you know!" Annie glared and placed her hands on her hips. "No! You will not order! I'm making everything! This is my domain and you can't take that away from me! Besides I have my little helper right here!"

She walked towards where Meera was seated on the counter and tweaked her nose. Meera giggled and hugged her mom. Viraj smiled at their exchange and nodded his head. "Okay then! Your wish is my command!" Annie laughed and pushed him towards the hall.

"His clothes are in the room! Get him ready! You know how hard that is. So that's your job for now!" Viraj sighed but nodded this head. Viraj walked towards the couch and plopped next to Veer who was still busy staring at the television.

"Veer! What are you watching?" Viraj glanced at the television and that's when he realized it was his favourite movie cars. "Vee!" Veer squealed and jumped on Viraj's lap causing him to let out an "oomph! Careful Veer!"

Veer pouted and wrapped his arms around Viraj. "Sowwy!" Viraj smiled at the cute boy and kissed his cheek. "Are you watching Cars again?" Veer nodded his head enthusiastically. "Are you ever going to get bored of that movie?" Veer giggled shaking his head no.

"Never! It my favret!" Viraj chuckled and kissed his head. "Veer will you be a good boy and wear these clothes! We need to go out in a few minutes! You remember what is today right?" Veer nodded his head with a smile. "Yeah! I know! You mawwy Nea and we three stay together forever!"

Veer showed three fingers and threw his hands in the air. Viraj laughed, he loved this boy so much. "Yes! That's right smart boy! Now come on let's get you dressed! I'll help you!" Viraj placed Veer on the floor and held his hand. Together they went to his room to get ready.

Arjun, Neel and Indu were busy setting up the tables in the backyard. All these arrangements were made for the small party that they were throwing after their marriage in the register office. In spite of Viraj and Naina's protests. Their friends weren't ready to listen. Hence the arrangements were in full swing.

The party wasn't going to be huge. Just their friends and family. No one from work or outside. Although Sister Brenda was invited. She wanted to give them a surprise. Hence Naina and Viraj were oblivious to this fact.

Some where in the same town in another cottage, Naina was staring at her reflection in the mirror. She let out a "Wow!". She couldn't even recognise herself. The red saree had been draped beautifully by none other than Neena while her make up had been done by Isha.

The saree made her look ethereal. She had never in her wildest dreams imagined that red was her colour. But to her surprise she looked amazing in it. Red bangles adorned both her wrists. Her hair was styled perfectly. Isha had made a braid crown only on her right side, leaving the rest of her hair cascading down her shoulders. Her highlights looked really pretty.

"Oh my god! Naina! You look amazing! Seriously we did a great job Neena!" Isha exclaimed and the both of them hi fied each other. Naina wanted to scoff but they were right. She did look amazing and all the credit was their's after all.

She was thankful to have them. Naina's eyes filled with tears and she rubbed her thumb across her eyes. "Hey what's wrong? Did you not like anything? Do you want us to change anything?" Neena asked her, placing her hand on her shoulder. Isha did the same with her other shoulder.

Naina shook her head as a tear drop fell from her eye. "Then what is it? Stop crying Naina! You're spoiling your make up!" Isha hissed wiping her tears carefully with a tissue. "Thank you so much for all of this! And also for always supporting me and being there for Me! I love you both so much!"

Isha and Neena smiled warmly at their friend. Naina pulled both of them for a hug. "Of course Naina! We're always have there for you!" Isha rubbed her back, "Yes of course! We'll be there with you until the end of time!" Neena exclaimed dramatically sending them into fits of laughter.

"Okay! Enough of emotional talk! Naina just go sit somewhere and don't move until it's time for us to leave got it?" Naina rolled her eyes but nodded her head. Both her friends left the room to get ready. Naina sat on the bed with a sigh and glanced at reflection her once again.

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard someone knocking her door. She jerked her head and saw both her parents standing at the threshold of her room. Mrs. Rao gasped and her eyes filled with tears as she saw her beautiful daughter in her bridal attire.

Mr. Rao's eyes were misty as well. He couldn't believe that his daughter was getting married today. "Oh my god! Naina you look so pretty!" Naina blushed had bowed her head. "Thanks mom!" She whispered and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

Mrs. Rao walked towards her daughter and kissed her head. Mr. Rao walked hesitantly towards his daughter and caressed her head. "I'm so proud of you!" Naina smiled and shook her head. "Come on let's go we have to leave now if we have to be there on time."

Naina's mom nodded her head and pulled Naina to the hall. Isha and Neena were already ready. Naina's parents were pretty open minded. They didn't care that their daughter didn't really want a traditional South Indian wedding. For them what mattered the most was that their daughter was happy.

It was already 10:30 am. In another hour Ms. Naina Rao will be Mrs. Naina Rao Gupta! Naina took a deep breath as she sat in the car and glanced out of the window. Her heart was racing but she knew this was what she wanted.

***

They reached the register office exactly at 11:15. Viraj and his friends along with Veer and Meera were already present at the register office. Naina took a deep breath and got down from the car with a little help from Isha who held her hand.

"Oh my god! Isha! I'm so fucking scared!" Naina gulped and whispered to her friend. Isha chuckled shaking her head. "Chill Naina! Do what a vodka shot?" Naina scoffed and slapped her arm. "Oh shut up! Where's Viraj! Do you see him anywhere? I can't see him!"

Isha brusted bout laughing. "Desperate much?" Naina rolled her eyes and subtly flashed her the finger. "I just texted Sam! He told me that they're waiting inside! Come on let's go!" Naina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her hands were sweating profusely and were clammy because of the moisture.

Isha took her hands and pulled her to the waiting room. Her parents, Neena and Sanjana had already disappeared through the door. "Naina! Breath babe! You're going to marry the love of your life! So chill!" Naina laughed nervously and closed her eyes for a second. "Okay! I'm ready let's go!"

Isha brushed her hair and they entered the room. Viraj who was busy talking to Arjun stopped mid sentence when he saw his soon to be wife at the entrance of the room. Naina glanced up and found him staring at her. "Woah!" Viraj let out a gush of breath. He had never seen Naina in a saree before. She looked so beautiful. All he wanted to do was kiss her right there and tell the whole world that she belongs to him.

Arjun cleared his throat and chuckled. "Viraj close your mouth man! Or flies might enter!" Viraj broke out of his revier and glared at Arjun. "Shut up!" Viraj scoffed at him and continued to stare at Naina.

Meanwhile Naina thoughts were along the same line. She still could not comprehend that a man so handsome and dashing as Viraj was going to be her husband. Much like Viraj she had never seen him in Indian attire. She was star struck as well. The shwarwani fit his physique perfectly. His hair was styled to perfection and his grey eyes twinkled like the stars in the night sky.

Someone cleared their throat. "Okay! If both of you are done devouring each other! Shall we go! It's your turn to get married!" Neel shouted and pumped his fists. Naina's mouth feel open while Viraj glared at his best friend.

He shook his head and walked towards Naina. He offered her his hand and stared deeply into her brown eyes. "Shall we ma'am! Are you ready to get hitched?" Naina chuckled softly nodding her head. They entwined their hands and walked towards the table where the register officer was seated.

He asked them if they were ready and had no objections to which both of them nodded their head. "Okay then we're good go. Sign right here!" He pointed at the book asking them to sing. Viraj signed first after which Naina signed. Then the witnesses signs were taken who were none other than Isha and Sameer.

Their friends and family clapped their hands. Annie passed the nuptial chain to him. He took it and glanced at Naina who had unshed tears in her eyes but a smile played on her face. Isha held her hair up as he clasped the mangalsutra on her neck. His breath fanned over her face and Naina's heart accelerated like crazy.

Her parents smiled and had tears of joy in their eyes. Isha held the sindoor box open and smiled at Viraj. He smiled back at her taking a pinch of red powder between his fingers and put it on Naina's forehead. Naina's eyes closed on their own accord. A few particles fell on her nose. She smiled as once again according to some old sayings it meant that her husband loves her a lot.

Viraj's eyes were misty as he stared at the woman before him who was now his wife. Naina stared into his grey eyes and felt the same. At that moment it felt like the world around them faded and the only ones that existed were them. The world could turn upside down but they knew they will be there for each other, now and forever.

Viraj smiled at her and leaned forward placing a kiss on his wife's forehead. He didn't care who were watching them. "I love you!" He whispered against her head. "I love you too!" Naian whispered and hugged her husband.

"Okay that's enough people!" Neel intervened causing everyone to break out in fits of laughter. "Kids get the garlands." Veer and Meera wobbled towards them with flower garlands in their hands. "Here Nea!" Veer stretched his arms while Meera did the same with Viraj. Naina smiled and leaned taking it from Veer. She kissed his cheek causing him to giggle.

Viraj put the flower garland on Naina while she reciprocated doing the same. Numerous pictures were being clicked by Isha and Neena. Naina's parents pulled both of them into a hug as they touched their feet for taking their blessings.

"Welcome to the family son!" Mr. Rao exclaimed proudly and hugged Viraj, then Mrs. Rao patted his cheek and kissed his forehead. Sanjana squealed and hugged her sister then her brother in law. "I'm so happy for both of you!" Their friends congratulated and hugged them.

"Okay then let's leave people! I have made some yummy lunch!" Annie screeched, yanked Arjun and Meera along with her. Veer stood there shyly and pulled Naina's saree. "Hey Veer! What's up?" She stretched his arm gesturing Naina to carry him. Naina struggled a bit with the saree when Viraj intervened.

"It's okay Naina. Veer is it okay if I carry you?" Veer grinned nodding his head. Viraj picked him up and Veer leaned towards Naina and touched her face with his tiny palms. "Nea! You lowk pwetty!" Naina smiled and kissed his tiny palm. "Thank you Veer! You look handsome as well!" Veer giggled as Naina kissed his cheek.

Viraj was smiling at the scene before him. Everything had fallen in place. The only thing left to do was adopting Veer and his family would be complete. "Shall we leave my beautiful wife and Veer?" Veer giggled while Naina rolled her eyes but nodded her head with a shy smile. "Let's go!"

The three of them together walked towards his car. He placed Veer in the back seat and removed the garland. Naina sat in the front and did the same. Viraj sat in the driver's seat and drove to the army housing society. The entire ride was spent in comfortable silence. Veer was mumbling to himself while Naina glanced out of the window.

He parked the car in front of his house. "We're here! Let's go before Annie decides to scream at me!" Viraj shuttered getting down, while Naina and Veer giggled at what he said. Naina got down and opened the back door to help Veer. "Careful Veer!" Naina shouted at him as he ran towards where Meera was standing and waving her hands.

Viraj stood right behind Naina. He was so close that Naina could smell his colonge and feel his muscular chest touch her back. "Shall we?" He whispered raspily into her ear. Naina gulped and nodded her head. Together they walked towards the back yard where the lunch was being served.

"Hold on! Before we go I have to give you something!" Naina dug her purse and Viraj stared at her with a frown on his face. She pulled out a sliver ring that was exactly his size and held it in front of his face. "Uhh! I realized that we never did have the typical traditional engagement. So this is for you!" Naina whispered and Viraj chuckled.

Viraj forwarded his left hand and wiggled his fingers. Naina chuckled and pushed the ring into his ring finger where it belonged. It showed the world that Viraj was her's and no one could ever change that. "Exactly where it should be!" Naina whispered and Viraj pulled her towards his chest.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look today?" Naina shook her head and smiled shyly at him. "Maybe! But it wouldn't hurt you to say it again!" His chest vibrated as he chuckled. He leaned his head and placed it against her forehead.

"You look beautiful almost ethereal Mrs. Gupta!" Naina blushed and lifted her head staring into his beautiful gery eyes. "You look handsome as well Major Gupta." Viraj smiled and leaned towards her lips. Naina closed her eyes as she felt his breath fanning over her lips.

She leaned forward and their lips touched. Viraj cupped her face with one hand and the other hand her pulled her closer. Naina sighed against his lips and kissed his bottom lip. Viraj moaned and sucked in her upper lip. He pushed his tounge against her lips asking for permission.

Naina opened her mouth gladly. They moved their lips vigorously against each other and fought for dominance. As usual Naina was the first one to break the kiss. She breathed against his lips as he placed a series of kisses down her neck. Naina moaned and ran her fingers through his hair. She could feel his rough hands against her waist.

"Um Viraj, that's enough! We can woah!" Naina panted as he sucked on her neck sending her body into over drive. "Stop!" She moaned and he finally stopped his torture, laughing against her heated skin. Naina sighed and gulped. "You were saying something?" Viraj asked her with a cocky smirk.

Naina shook her head trying to clear her mind. It was like he had consumed every part of her. She felt tingly and his closeness wasn't helping her either. " Um right! I was saying that we can do this later! Not now." She whispered the last part. Viraj chuckled but shut his mouth when Naina glared at him.

"Oh right I almost forgot! I have something for you as well!" Naina shook her head as he dug his pockets. "I don't want anything else! How much more will you give me?" Viraj shook his head placed a finger on her lips. "Hush! It's kind of my duty, now that you're my wife! I can shower you with any amount of gifts and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Naina rolled he eyes but smiled anyway. He carefully took her hands and pushed the beautiful bangles on both her wrists. Naina gasped and traced the intricate designs with her fingertips. "It's so pretty! Thank you!" Viraj smiled and pecked her forehead. "You're welcome! It was my mom's and so was this!" He traced the nuptial chain that was on her neck with his calloused fingers.

Naina gasped as tears glistened her eyes. "Are you sure that you want me to have these?" Viraj scoffed and shook his head. "Of course! They're rightfully yours! There's no one else obviously!" Naina laughed and pecked his lips. Hand in hand, together they walked to the backyard.

When everyone noticed their presence they hooted and clapped. Arjun and Neel held up a banner that had a welcome sign. Naina laughed and so did Viraj. Once everyone settled down. Everyone ate the delicious lunch that was prepared by Annie. She was on cloud nine when everyone appreciated her culinary skills.

Veer sat beside Viraj and Naina the entire time. Everyone was so happy. Sameer was back to his normal self thanks to Isha and everyone else. Neena was untied with her boyfriend Sahil. The other couples were happy as well.

Naina noticed that Veer was frowning a lot. He was seated right beside her. She was about to ask him what was wrong when Arjun announced that he wanted everyone's attention. "First of all I would like to say congratulations to the new the couple! You both are perfect for each other. There's no denying that fact. Am I right guys?"

Everyone shouted a yes, Viraj rolled his eyes but grinned widely while Naina bowed her head smiling shyly. She hated when any sort of attention was on her but considering this is her special day she had to bear all of this.

"I have an important announcement to make. Viraj Naina there's one more person who wants to congratulate and give you both a gift." Naina raised her brows at Viraj who shrugged saying he had no idea about this. "Guess we'll find out." Naina whispered, Viraj nodded his head agreeing with her.

Much to their surprise it was Sister Brenda. She walked with a smile on her face. Viraj and Naina immediately got on their feet and rushed towards her. "God Bless you both my children! May both of you be happy for the rest of your lives!" She caressed both their head and blessed them.

She took a document out of her bag and passed it to Viraj. "This is for both of you!" Viraj gave her a questioning look a and flipped through the document. His eyes turned misty when he realized what was written in those documents.

"He's ours now? What about all the legal procedures?" Sister Brenda shook her head. "It's all taken care of! Don't you worry about it!" Naina frowned and read through the papers. She gasped, "Veer is our son now!" She asked with a quivering voice. "Yes my child! He's yours and Viraj's! He's where he should be!"

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" Naian hugged Sister Brenda and looked at the documents again that said Veer was adopted by them and legally their son. "This is the best gift ever! Thank you ma'am!"

Viraj glanced at Veer who was sitting all by himself and swinging his legs. "Go tell him! I'm sure he'll be happy to know!" They nodded their heads and walked towards where Veer was seated. "Hey Veer! Do you want to know something?" Viraj asked him while Naina hugged him close.

Veer smiled leaning against Naina and nodded his head. "You can stay with us from today! You don't have to go back to the orphanage ever." Veer grinned widely and bounced. "Really? I stwy with you and Nea forever?"
Naina smiled and brushed her fingers through his hair. "Yes baby forever!"

Veer pumped his fists in the air and hugged Naina tightly. "Can I call you and Vee mommy and daddy?" He whispered the question hesitantly. Viraj sat beside Veer and rubbed his back. "Veer we are your Mommy and Daddy! Of course you can call us that buddy!" Naina smiled nodding through her tears.

Veer cried a little but hugged that both of them together. "I wov you Mommy and Daddy! I be goowd!" Naina chuckled and Viraj grinned.
"We love you too buddy!" Viraj whispered and kissed his cheek. "Yes! Veer you're already such a good boy!" Naina kissed his head. Her husband smiled at her and hugged tge both of them tightly.

They're family was complete. They don't know how they crossed paths but they were so grateful to have found each other and have Veer in their lives. Unknown to them their friends and family had witnessed the entire scene and everyone had tears in their eyes.

Naina's parents weren't mad or angry that she never informed them about adopting Veer. Instead they were proud that their daughter had taken this decision. They were so happy that their daughter had found her family. They already loved Veer and considered him as a part of their family.

In this big world with so many people what were the odds. But inspite of that Naina and Viraj had managed to find each other. They were very well aware that things weren't always thing to be easy. The one thing that they were sure was that they could over come any obstacle if they were together.
