Chandni wake up . . We are getting late .... ,, Her aunt was shaking Chandni's body but she was not in the mood to wake up

Chachi (Aunt) Please ... ,, She groaned loudly and hide her face in the pillow

No please , wake up . Today's your tilak Ceremony . All men of our family are there at the Palace and here bride is still sleeping .... ,, Her aunt said loudly and again shook her body

What ? .... ,, Chandni jumped and sat on her

Yes ... ,, Her aunt confirmed and Chandni clutched her head tightly

My head is hurting Chachi (Aunt) ... ,, Chandni moaned in pain

Because of Hangover ... ,, Her aunt replied and Chandni was shocked

Why are you so shocked ? I know my daughter how troublemaker she is . She brought alcohol in our house .... ,, Her aunt spoke in slightly anger

She did it for me . For giving me happiness . Celebrating last few days in this house ... ,, Chandni said and rubbed her temple and eyes

That's why no male of our house knows about her stunts .... ,, Her aunt grinned and Chandni tried to remember the memories of last night but everything was blurry

By the way where are my sister in laws ? ... ,, Chandni remembered about Nishma and Taapur

They went back to Gadh ... ,, Her aunt said and took Chandni's dress for the function

With our family members ? ... ,, Chandni head was Thumping like someone was hammering on her head

No , with their Bodyguards ... ,, Her aunt Informed her and she nodded her head

Drink this . It'll be helpful in your headache ... ,, Her aunt passed a cup of lukewarm black coffee to her

Hmmm ... ,, Chandni took the cup from her aunt's hands and gulped down the bitter warm black coffee in one go and made weird faces . Her aunt chuckled at her reaction

Chandni, get ready for the wedding rituals. Guests and relatives are already here ... ,, Her aunt told her

Where is Mother and Father ? ... ,, Chandni asked her and her aunt sighed loudly

No one knows , actually They are behaving very mysterious .... ,, Her aunt replied in low tone after seeing Chandni's gloomy face

Why they're not happy with my Marriage ? They wanted me to get married then where is the problem ? I'm getting married in two days . Still They are not even showing their faces to me ? ... ,, Chandni's voice cracked a little bit and her aunt embraced her in her warmness

Chandni , Papa (Chandni's grandfather) already warned them not to creat any fuss in your Marriage but I'm tense about guests and relatives . They're talking too much from the time they have entered in our house . Choti Didi (Chandni's first aunt) is trying to tackle their interrogations .... ,, Her aunt said and rubbed Chandni's back . Chandni sniffed and Wiped her glossy eyes

Don't worry Chachi . It's time to show my skills and now I'm not Scared of anyone . Not this society , our relatives can underestimate me .... ,,

Her aunt watched her amusingly and she mentally danced to see her in real self . Chandni was back . Real Chandni Singh , bold , beautiful , strong and brave Chandni was back . She lost herself because of her egoistic parents and their unnecessary strict orders

That's like the Singh's Daughter .... ,, Her aunt Proudly said and Chandni smiled widely at her

By the way where is Miss Typhoon (Her cousin) ... ,, Chandni stood up and stretched her body only to feel soreness in her muscles

She went to attend your tilak Ceremony with her brothers ... ,, Her aunt said and started to arrange her bed

What ? But girls from bride side don't attend this function right ? ... ,, Chandni asked confusedly

Yes, But your sister was dancing on the head of her father on this matter . She even fight with brothers and lastly Her Grandfather took his younger Granddaughter with him ... ,, Her aunt shook her head at her stubborn daughter

This girl .... ,, Chandni shook her head at her sister's childishness

Go beta , get ready . Guests are waiting for you .... ,, Her aunt said and stroke her hairs lovingly

.

.

.

All the ladies captured Chandni in a bone crushing hug and made her to sit in between them .

Soon Ladies Started to play dholki and sang Wedding songs . Chandni was smiling but emotionally she was very nervous . Wedding jitters were shaking her uncontrollably  and she wanted to hide herself from all the noices

Chandni checked her phone and smile shyly . Her sister had send Ansh's pictures to her . She stared at his picture and mentally put kala tika behind his ear , from protecting him from herself

He was looking handsome in off-white creamy colour Kurta with red stole . She bit her lips and wanted to kiss him but surpress her desire and hide hee phone from the eagle eyes of aunties and involved herself again in between them

.

.

.

Rathore Palace , GADH . . .

Ansh was sitting on the floor while clutching the Coconut in his both hands .
Holy mantras chanted by priest while performing a small pooja . Brother of Chandni was sitting infront of Ansh and ready to performed the rituals of Tilak Ceremony . Priest guided them and Chandni's brother applied the Tika (Kumkum/red , haldi/Turmeric , Akshat/white or yellow rice) on Ansh's forehead and gifted cash (money) and gold (Jewelry) to Ansh

Ansh was confused by the things he saw . He mentally noted down that he would talk to Chandni's Grandfather on this matter . He didn't know why bride's family was gifted so many things to him or these things were Dowry under the name of gifts  . He already saw that they came with so many things . He had everything in his life then What was the important of all these things

Shaurya nudged Ansh and rose his eyebrows in questioning manner to ask Ansh  but Ansh shook his head and Shaurya nodded his head and fkynd him again concentrate on the tilak Function

Porishma and Davis were looking at him . Ansh was looking very handsome in cream colour kurta pajama and red stole was wrapped around his neck to shoulder  . He had bandhani safa (multicolored tie & dye Rajasthani Turban) on his head and red tika made his face to glow more than gold under the all lights and flashes . Long wavy hairs were tied back and had diamond studs in his ears .

His soft smile was sending calmness to Davis and Porishma . Both had tears in their eyes . Porishma came far with him . Each memories of her past was displaying Infront of her eyes . Davis wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him . Loosing her parents to her bestfriend , Mompi . Her tolerance level made her strong enough to cross every border of the society because she had a baby boy named Ansh .

She remembered his birth , his crying , his hunger , his sadness , his tears , his pain , his maturity and his undeniable Support to her . Davis stared at Ansh and remembered the first time he saw him in the hospital and crying in the arms of Porishma . He felt a thorn in his heart but Ansh picked it out that thorn and filled it with his maturity , calmness and understanding .

Porishma lost control and left the place before bursting into tears . Davis trailed her and Ian , Vin and Dhaani saw their parents and Understood the situation

Rudra and Shakti saw Porishma and Davis leaving the ceremony in the middle and they followed them

Family members showers yellow rice with flowers on Ansh and constant flashing lights of camera was little bit started to irritating him but he was ignoring the words of cameraman

Everyone one were adoring Ansh who was smiling and trying hard to ignore the  teasing Comments from his mothers and aunts .

Abhimanyu and Shaurya were supporting him through their presence but they were helpless infront of the ladies of their families . Ansh's eyes searched for his parents and shared a questioning look with Shaurya and Ansh sighed to understood the Emotions his parents were feeling that time

Last step was exchanging the wedding cards and gifts .

Porishma and Davis came back and Ansh narrowed his eyes down at his mother who simply smiled back at him

They became in laws and shared a hug .

It was Official now . Their relationship got sealed by the tilak Ceremony .

.

Nishma was talking with Chandni's sister and feeling constant gazes upon her . She sighed and walked inside the gallery of the room and knew he was again  following her . She stopped in middle and suddenly turned around to catch him red handedly . She narrowed her eyes at him and he waved his hands at her

Why are you following me Chase ? ... ,, Nishma asked Chase who was glaring at the brothers of Chandni

Because they're staring at you .... ,, Chase pouted and Nishma looked confusedly at him

Who ? ... ,, She asked and Chase growled lowly and eyed them again

Those boys ... ,, Chase said and Nishma followed his line of sight

Huh ? .... ,, She found that Chandni's brothers were busy talking with Ansh and Shaurya

Chase , They are the Younger Brothers of Bhabhi (SIL , Chandni) .... ,, Nishma replied and rolled her eyes at his Possessiveness

I don't want to know who they are  ... ,, He said and looked away from her

Chase .... ,, Nishma called him but he didn't look back at her

I know you'll scold me but I don't care ... ,, Chase said and again snarled whenever his eyes clashed with Chandni's brothers

Chase .... ,, Nishma called him again and Chase sighed loudly

You are looking beautiful . No , you are beautiful ... ,, Chase looked at her , deeply into her honey brown eyes

Chase ... ,, She softly called his name

No I won't listen to you ... ,, He shook his head and started blabbering "no , no , no"

Chase , listen to me .... ,, Nishma was trying to handle moody chasey with her patience but he wasn't paying attention to her

No , no , no .... ,, He covered his ears and Nishma lost her patience and punched his arms

Chase , you are looking very good in indian dress . In this kurta pajama ... ,, She made him to turn around and looked at her

What ? ... ,, His eyes became wide and mouth was open

What , What ? Chase . I'm telling you that you are looking very good in this kurta pajama ... ,, She explained and Chase stood shockingy at his place

Thank You Nish ... ,, Chase said and scratched his neck awkwardly

Nishma hide her smile and Started walked away but stopped and again looked at him and said "Don't follow me"

Then stay away from those two .... ,, Chase said and Nishma clenched her jaw and walked out angrily

But he smiled foolishly at her anger . .

His pitch black eyes were gawking at her , younger sister of Chandni . Nilay poked him and Shiv wriggled his eyebrows evilly at Nilay who looked confusedly first then it became simple for Nilay and he understood what his brother was upto

They stared at each other like an arch enemy . They had a wild encounter in the past , past means just few weeks ago , when she came with her whole family to the Gadh after the incident at Dharamshala . And she still had grudges in her heart against him

Shaadi me ish sey bhi kam kapde pehen ne ka irada hai Kya ? (Intends to wear less in Marriage) .... ,, He stared at her from head to toe and mocked at her

She cursed him and He smirked playfully at her.  .

Nilay was just listening to their ongoing cursing competition . He didn't know what to say or how to stop them . For Nilay , She was looking good in her dress and Nilay didn't mind whatever she was wearing . It was her choice and if her family didn't had any objection then why would he point out on her but Nilay knew His brother , Shiv wasn't so innocent type of boy but he wasn't a bad boy either but that time his brother was commenting on her dress that wasn't making senses to him 

She flipped her hairs and crossed her arms around her chest and glared at him

Who the hell are you ? Do you even know who am i ? ... ,, She was fuming in anger and he smirked at her reaction

I'm the younger brother of the groom . Name Shivshakti Singh Rathore ... ,, Shiv introduced himself dramatically and Nilay stood like a wall beside him

Ohh didi ka langoor devar (Sister's monkey BIL) .... ,, She murmured softly under her breath

What did you say ? ... ,, Shiv asked and she rolled her eyes at him

Nothing . By the way , I'm the sister of your Hone Wali Bhabhi ji (Sister of your would be SIL) ... ,, She said and grinned widely

Hi ! I'm Nilay .... ,, Nilay said and forwarded his hands to her

Hii ! I'm ... ,, She was introducing herself but another voice stopped her

Addoo .... ,, She mentally groaned and found her father was coming towards her

What are you doing here Beta ? Your Dadaji (Grandfather) is calling you .... ,, Her father said and she huffed in annoyance because her father called her by petname

I'm coming Dad ... ,, She told him and he nodded and looked at Shiv and Nilay

Namastey Uncle ... ,, Both boys joined their hands and said namastey in unison

Namastey Beta ... ,, Her father said and smiled at them

Addoo kaddooo ... ,, Shiv teased her and she was near to beat him . Nilay was trying to stop Shiv but it looked like Shiv lost his mind somewhere else

Stop it you dummy . . My name is Adrija not Addoo kaddooo . .... ,, She moved towards Shiv but Nilay stood in between them

Ooooo .... ,, Shiv made his mouth in big O and smirked at her

I don't talk with kids ... ,, She said and smiled evilly at Shiv , who looked confusedly at her

I'm 20 years old and I think you are an underage boy so baby go and play with other kids .... ,, Adrija was a strong girl and knew how to handle boys and their Bluntness

Shiv was seething in anger . His black eyes turned red . Adrija hit on his nerves . Shiv fisted his hands tightly and clenched his jaw . Nilay saw him and knew he was controlling himself

And Yes , I'm planning to walk naked in the wedding . Do you have any issues in this baby ? .... ,, She said and flared up her nose and her words didn't fit well with him and without uttering any word to her , Shiv left the place quickly

Dil to karta hai ishey Naaptol pe bech dalun (want to sell him on Naaptol) .... ,, She spatted coldly and fisted her hands

Nilay was still shocked that how much two strangers could fight and that too nonsensical , childish fight . He sighed and walked in the search of his angry brother , ShivShakti Singh Rathore

Taapur was wearing a simple cotton kurta , looking beautiful but someone was definitely not liking the way she was leaning on Sumedh's shoulder . Small pout and closed eyes were disturbing him

Sumedh tapped Taapur's cheeks and her eyes flutterly opened . She smiled softly at him and he whispered something in her ears , made her face whole red . She pinched Sumedh who laughed at her cute face

Taapur stood up and moved towards her room but someone pulled her inside the dark gallery

She was about to scream but familiar face stopped her . Taapur pushed Abhimanyu and glared at him

What are you doing huh ? .... ,, Taapur was angry at him and his cold behaviour . His rudeness was still fresh in her mind how he threw her abd her luggage out of his car

What were doing with Sumedh ? .... ,, He directly shoot his question at her

Why should I tell you ? ... ,, She took few steps back from him

Because he is my brother ... ,, He moved forwarded to her

Then ask him not to me ... ,, She told him in her cold tone

He grasped her fragile wrist in his rough and she Yelp in pain

I have asked you something ... ,, He stared deeply into her tiny brown eyes

Why you were so close to him ? What he was saying into your ears ? ... ,, He asked and she was scared to death

Why your face was red ? Why did you hit him ? ... ,, His questions were confusing her . Few days ago he was behaving like a psycho and right now he acted like a super strict father

What are you ? My father , my brother or my husband ? Huh ? Why should I tell you what we were talking about ? ... ,, She was angry and wriggled in his tight clutch

Tell me .... ,, He pulled her towards him and she landed on his chest . His eyes were drilling into her soul . She gulped down nervously and licked her dry lips

I'm . I'm hungry . Wants to eat ... ,,, She said and felt embarrassed. She looked down immediately and he stared at her red face .

Her chin was near to his ribs . Her small figure and short height made her like a Pokemon Infront of his tall , broad and masculine personality

Khana khatam ho gaya hai Yaa Gadh Ka bhandaar (Food is over or the fortress store) ... ,, He asked and his voice was low but icy

She looked at him with her glossy eyes and replied "Bride's family will eat first then we will"

Who told you this ? ... ,, Abhimanyu asked her in his cold tone and she squirmed under his hard gazes

I guess ... ,, She shrugged off her shoulder

Don't use your tiny brain . If you want something ask the helpers . Do you understand ? ... ,, He didn't like the way she shared her problems with others but not to him . He controlled his senses and stared at her

She nodded her head fastly because she was starving and already ate so much Chocolates .

Abhimanyu called his loyal attendee and they immediately stood infront of him

Serve dinner to her .... ,, Abhimanyu ordered as usual in his cold tone made her to shivered

He left her and again went to join the function . .

After the Tilak Ceremony . . .

It was Late night at night . Everyone departure to their room . Each member was deadly tired and drifted off immediately hitting the bed but there were two blazing souls , they were coping up with their unknown overflowing emotions . . Ansh and Chandni . . Both were staring at the FullMoon shimmering around the dancing stars .

Ansh was in total relaxed mood and smiling goofily . . Chandni was exhausted and little bit sad also

Sorry , Ansh ji . Apka gift Adrija le jana bhul gayi (Adrija forgot to take your gift )... ,, Chandni said softly and Ansh again smiled hearing her soft low voice

Koi baat nahi . Maine bhi kuch nahi liya apke liye (No Problem . I didn't buy anything for you) .... ,, Ansh said but Chandni was sad that gift she bought for ansh was left at home

Nahi , main late tak sotey reh gayi ishliye aisa hua ? Aur kisi ne mujhe uthaya hi nahi . I'm sorry (No, I slept for a long time, so it happened ? And nobody raised me) .... ,, Chandni felt bad and apologized to him

Chandni I told you naa it's okay , No problem .... ,, Ansh said and this time his voice wasn't low like before but his bold tone made her to understand that it was time to change the topic

Okay then , I'll give you at our wedding night . . What say ? ... ,, She said unknowingly and bit her tongue in embarrassment when she sensed her words

Ansh Understood her silence and mostly her Dilemma . He grinned like a teenage boy and tried to enlighten the awkward situation

Chandni .... ,, Ansh was physically exhausted but mentally he only wanted to heard her soothing voice and her silence was making difficult for him enough to breath

Hmmm .... ,, She hummmed but her head was Thumping because of the Hangover and second the noices of dholki , songs and unnecessary loud questions of dangerous aunties

Mera ek hi Dil hai . . Kitni baar Jitne ka iraada hai ? (I have only one heart . How many times you want to win it?) .... ,, Ansh said and stared at the moon longingly .

Ansh didn't heard her voice and knew she was definitely blushing . He turned around and saw Chase and Shaurya were cuddling to each other and occupied the whole bed . Chase punished Ansh for hurting his little man and alloted Couch to him

But soon , something caught his senses . Ansh heard loud thudding Beats of her heart  and he put his one hand on his own chest .

He smiled when he tally that how their hearts were beating in one rythm . . .

We are Official Now . . . ..... ,, His heart whispered and knew CHANDNI again fell asleep while talking to him
