Nandini's POV

We all went to our rooms to clean ourselves. I took a shower and changed into my casuals. Then an idea popped into my mind. I went to the kitchen and asked if I could use it for 10-15 minutes. I quickly made 2 mugs full of hot chocolate and made my way to Varu's room, after thanking the butlers.

I peeked into his room, hoping to find him either sprawled onto his bed or still in the shower but instead I found him kneeling in front his bed. I mean someone was sitting on the bed and he was in front of that person. I peeked closer to see Navya sitting there and sniffing. Traces of tears on her cheeks, and fresh new tears ready to stream down.

Me being my panicky-self rushed inside and keeping the mugs on the coffee table, I too knelt down beside Varu.

"Navya, what happened? Tum ro kyu rahi ho? Tum theek toh ho na? Navu tell me? Please don't cry. Kisi ne kuch kaha? Cabir ne kuch kiya.. I swear I'm gonna-"

"Arre Arre shaant hoja meri lady hulk! Saans toh lele." Varu said putting his arm around my shoulder and I saw Navya smiling through her tears because of my ranting, "Aur yeh, bacho ki tarah ro rahi hai, pagli!" He said hitting playfully on Navya's temple.

"Aur Cabir ne kuch nahi kaha, wo bas main bhai aur tujhe bohot miss karungi," She sniffed again "Isliye, rona aa gaya tha."

I laughed at the girl who's still a kid by heart, "Navya, meri Navya!" I wiped the remaining tears and pulled her cheeks, "Tu na bohot cute hai. Aur bohot badi buddhu bhi. You know na we'll all be in Mumbai only. And Cabir ka ghar konsa dur hai, we'll meet whenever we want. I'm sure Anita aunty will be more than happy about it. Samjhi?!" I told her and sat beside her hugging her.

"Achha beta! Toh last 20 minutes se main french mein bol raha tha? Jo iss madam ne 2 minute mein tujhe samjha diya."

We giggled and stuck our tongue out at him, opening our arms for him to join our group hug.

"Oh I totally forgot! Main toh Hot chocolate laayi thi. Like old time's sake. But Navu I didn't know tu yahan thi.." Varu's face lit up like a Christmas tree as I mentioned hot chocolate.

"Ok then bye, isse pehle ki wo bacha hua hot chocolate khatam ho jaye. Moreover, stylists aate hi honge." She ran out of the room quickly.

I took the tray from the coffee table and turned towards a very desperate Varun.

I took the larger one and gave him the smaller one.

"Nandu, that's not fair...!" He whined.

"As if, you never take some from mine." I said sarcastically because it happens all the time. I would bring 2 glasses and always take the bigger one, just to tease him. Because anyway we share both of our drinks.

"Chal let's sit in the balcony." He said pulling me with him.

As soon as we both sat and he took some whipped cream from my hot chocolate by his finger.

"Varuu !!" I exclaimed and swatted his hands. I meade an 'Eww' face and he just laughed.

"Achha bata baat kya hai?" I asked him, and he looked at me confused.

"Baat kya hai, matlab??" He was now fully turned facing me.

"You know what I mean Varu, so spill." I gave him a knowing look, taking a sip of my hot chocolate.

"No yaar, aaj Navu ki shaadi hai. I don't wanna spoil my mood by talking about it." He turned his head away.

"But atleast tell me why does he always give you a cold shoulder?"

"I'll tell you when the right time comes alright? I have promised to tell you na, aur aaj tak kabhi maine apna promise toda hai?" He stopped to look at me for a reply and when I shook my head he continued, "Toh bas, just trust me"

"Fine. But jus this time I'm letting you escape." I told him pointing my finger at him to which he hugged me in excitement and kissed my cheek.

I shook my head at my insane best friend, then hit his head slowly and said, "Oye apni Navu ke bhai, kya uski shaadi mein sweatpants pehenega?"

"Yeah baby! Tujhe nahi pata, it's the latest fashion trend."

"No need for sarcasm, tere achhe ke liye I was saying. Now bye." I said and went finishing the hot chocolate when he yelled a bye in reply.

I quickly went to my room and did my hair and makeup, then slipped into my lehenga.

I went to Navya's room to check on her and saw her full ready. Nyo mom, Sakshi aunty and Chachi were also there.

"Navu, tujhe pata hai tu kitni pyari lag rahi hai!" I said, hugging her.

Just then Mukti and Abhi entered inside.

Abhimanyu's Outfit

"Arre waah, aaj toh humari sabhi betiyaan bohot khoobsurat lag rahi hain." Nyo mom said and Sakshi aunty agreed. They both kissed all of our foreheads.

"Sach mein. Meri bachiyaan itni sundar lag rahi hai, kahin meri hi nazar na lag jaaye!" Sakshi aunty said emotionally and put a 'kaala teeka' behind all of our ears.

"Chalo let us go out and check up on the guests." Nyo mom said and all went out. I volunteered to stay with Navya though.

"Nandu, I'm feeling really very nervous. How will I even adjust in Cabir's family?" She was looking seriously tensed, so I went and sat beside her on the bed.

"Navya! Navya. Idhar dekh. Relax! Every girl has to face this situation at some point of their lives. They have to leave their own home. They have to change their surname. There are so many sacrifices, but here you are so lucky that you are marrying the love of your life. And you know na how much Cabir loves you. He can turn the world upside down for you. Hell, he can even fight the world just for you, Navya. Aur Anita aunty, she already treats you like her daughter toh tension ki kya baat hai." She hugged me instantly and mumbled a few 'thank you's.

"Oho so my two lovely ladies are here! Hey, mere bina hi hug. Wait."

Varun's Outfit

Varu pounced on us embracing both of us in a hug. The three of us laughed and parted away.

"Nandu chal, baraat aa gayi hai. And mom was saying something about lighting a diya here before leaving or something." He told us, and Navya's face brightened with a smile. I quickly lit a diya because the bride should never be left alone and if left there should be a diya lit in the room she's staying.

I left the room with Varun and we stood at the doorstep. We saw Manik, Sanjana, Alya and Dhruv dancing in the baraat along with Cabir's cousins. I was quite funny actually, seeing them dance like crazy. But when I diverted my attention to look at Manik, I was blown away. He was looking so hot in his white sherwani and and the pink turban which all the men were wearing was like a plus point on him.

Even Sanjana, Dhruv & Alya were looking really good.

The baraat finally reached the venue. We were all now standing like all the groom's side people outside the door and all the bride's side people in the other side of the door. I saw boyfriend, I mean dadda and hugged him first.

Harsh's Outfit

"Well, is it really my Nandu baby, whose looking drop dead gorgeous!" He said in a flirtatious tone and I giggled.

"Boyfriend!" I exclaimed and he laughed kissing my forehead, "Even you know that you're looking the hottest."

"I know!" He replied and we both chuckled.
Then I greeted and complimented Anita aunty too who was currently talking to Chacha and Ram uncle.

Sakshi aunty did the aarti, then Me, Mukti and Navya's cousins asked Cabir for money. After a few tantrums, Cabir gave in & handed the money to us. Then Sakshi aunty playfully pulled Cabir's nose and all of us shared a hearty laugh.

Cabir's Outfit

Cabir took his seat on the mandap (stage where marriage rituals are done), and started doing the rituals as told by the priest.

After some time, the priest asked to call the bride. So I with Sakshi aunty went to her room.
They entered and saw a very beautiful moment. Navya and Ram uncle hugging and her trying to control her tears.

"Mom idhar aao na..!" Navya asked Sakshi aunty to the hug which she happily did.
She then made them sit and sat down in front of them despite her heavy lehenga.

"Thank you. Thank you so much mujhe itna pyar dene ke liye. Bhai ne mujhe humesha apni sagi behen maana. Aapne aaj tak jo kiya, no matter how many thank you I say, it won't be enough. But still I'll say Thank you. Thank you for adopting a girl like me and giving her life a meaning. Thank you for treating me aa your own child. Agar aap logon ne mujhe adopt na kiya hota toh main shayad aaj bhi kahin street par hi...." She trailed off the sentence, and was sobbing so hard. By this time even Varu came calling for us but stopped and stood beside me hearing Navya.

"Bas. Bohot ho gaya! Ek lafz aur bolegi toh main ek baar nahi sochunga tujhe thappar lagane se pehle." Ram uncle warned her with a death serious look.

"Bacha, tu aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hai? Itna hi pyaar tha kya humara! Tu hume Mom-Dad kya aise hi bulati hai? Ya phir tune kabhi hume apna maana hi nahi." Sakshi aunty asked, her face full of tears.

"Nahi Nahi mom. Please. Aisa mat kahiye. Please! I-I'm sorry main dobara aisa nahi bolungi. Bhai I'm sorry." Her whole body shook as she cried, even Varu was crying. I know neither can he stay mad at her nor can he see a tear drop in her eyes.

He immediately went and hugged her and she cried hugging him back.

I wiped my own tears and started going out of the room because I felt like I was intruding.

"And where do you think you're going, Princess?" Ram uncle's voice stopped me, "Now don't tell me mujhe apni doosri beti ko bhi thappar lagana padega!" He said already knowing what I was thinking.
Then Navya and Sakshi aunty gestured me, to join them, with their hands and without a second thought I rushed to hug them.

I was the first to pull out of the hug, "Chaliye ab aur mat rulaiyo isse, saara makeup kharaab kar liya apna pagal ne." I tried to lighten the mood a bit, and they all chuckled.

I cleaned Navya's face then after applying a little makeup, took her down. Cabir's jaw dropped seeing Navya, and we all laughed silently seeing him. Then Panditji (priest) asked Navya to take place next to Cabir. I sat behind Navya, just in case she needed anything and Manik sat next to me maybe for the same reason but for Cabir.
Both of them were talking through their eyes. It was so cute. They were both like high school sweethearts.

The Panditji started chanting  the mantras and asked them to follow. They both did as told them to. Then it was time for the vows of marriage. They took the seven vows, promising to be always with each other, promising to support each other through thick and thin, promising to take care of each other and to love each other forever.

( A/N : Having exchanged these vows of love, duty, respect, fidelity and a fruitful union the couple agree to be companions forever.)

Cabir was then told to apply vermilion (sindoor) between the partition in Navya's hair. He tied the Mangal sutra (nuptial chain) around her neck. Then the priest declared Cabir and Navya as husband and wife. He asked them to take blessings from the elders and when they did, all the elders showered them with lots of love and blessings.

After that our friends gang congratulated them with lots of hugs. Varun even threatened Cabir to take care of his sister or he'll not let him live. And trust ne it was really funny to watch that scenario.

It was almost morning when we all crashed to our rooms. It's our last day at Udaipur, we'll leave for Mumbai in the afternoon. I sighed thinking how fast has this wedding gone.
