Next morning, Misha woke up. She realized that she will be getting married today. Less than 24 hours. Time flies so fast. Still she was very nervous and happy too.

Mom: Misha, you woke up. So early. Good. Ok come out. A ritual is going to start soon. Then you have to go to the parlor too.

Misha: Maa, will you miss me?

Mom: Of course I will. Tum rehti ho to ghar me raunak rehti hai. But any way you will have to go.

Misha: Mom.... I guess I am having cold feet.

Shivam came to her.

Shivam: Didi, jyada makeup mat lagvana. Rona bhi hai na tumko.

Mom: Why, won't you cry?

Shivam: No, I am not a kid.

Misha laughed and went outside.

Soon all the shagun was done and Misha went to parlor along with some cousins. On the way, she saw the Ganga Ghat being decorated. It never looked so beautiful. It became a buzz that Misha was going to marry a royal. Relatives whom she had never met had come to shower their blessings. Well, matrimonial alliance with a ' Royal ' does matter, right??

Her phone blinked and she picked it up. It was Rishabh's message.

Rishabh: ' Hey, where are you? '

Misha: ' Just going to the parlor. '

Rishabh: ' Why? I like your natural beauty. '

Misha: ' Well. Thanks for the compliment. Dear to-be husband. '

Rishabh: ' To-be !!!  Kyun abhi bhi kisi aur ke saath ka irada hai kya? 😉😉 '

Misha: ' Haan shayad. 😜 '

Rishabh: ' Us dusre ko to maar hi dalunga main. I told you I will lock you in my prison. '

Misha: ' I am already in your prison. '

Rishabh: '😍😍 Can't wait to see you. '

Misha: ' Me neither. '

Soon she came back from the parlor looking all beautiful. She was made to sit in the room. She was lost in her dreams when she heard loud music outside.

Commotion: Baraat is here. Go welcome it.

After welcoming them, some of Misha's cousin came inside.

Cousin: Misha, jiju is here. You are so lucky. He is looking so smart.

Misha: Nazar mat lagao use. And lucky vo hai humko paa kar.

All the girls laughed. Rishabh entered the room and cleared his throat to grab attention.

Rishabh: So my beautiful salion (wife's sisters), may I get a moment with your sister... alone.

Cousins: Jiju, she is getting married to you only. Don't worry, humlog usko bhaga nahi denge.

Rishabh: Acha ok. Stay here. I need some witness too. Keep a guard.

Rishabh: So Misha, everything went very quick and I couldn't ask you this.

He bent on one knee and held out his hand.

Misha, will you like to become, Misha Rishabh Raj Singh? Will you marry me?

Misha smiled. She never knew that this was going to happen. All the girls in the room drooled. Awww. Of course, why not, they were watching a romantic movie live.

Misha held his hand. ' Do I have any other choice? '

Rishabh: No you don't.

She smiled, but it dropped when she heard her mother calling her outside.

Mom: Misha.... Why is the door closed? Open it.

Misha: Oh God. Rishabh, you need to go. How will you go? Kya jarurat thi yaha aane ki? Bada romantic ho rahe the. Shaadi to tumse hi ho rahi hai na hmari? Cards par bhi hum dono ka hi naam hai. How will you get out?

Rishabh: Oh... Ms Rajdhani express. Calm down. Chitransh is there. He will handle it.

Soon they heard Chitransh's voice.

Chitransh: Aunty ji !! How are you? What are you doing here?

Mom: Oh Chitransh beta... See Misha is not opening the door.

Chitransh<under his breath>: Kaise kholegi bhai ke saath jo hai.

Mom: What?

Chitransh: Maybe she is getting ready.
Aunty, I want to sing some song. Jhalak dikhla ja, jhalak dikhla ja. Ek baar aaja aaja aaja aaja AAA..ja.

Misha's mom was confused. Rishabh took the cue and sneaked out of the room.

Mom: What? I don't get you.

Rishabh stood behind her and waved to Chitransh.

Chitransh: Ja..

Mom: What?

Chitransh: Kabootar ja ja ja... Which movie had this song?

Mom: Maine Pyaar Kia. But why are you acting so strange?

Chitransh: No nothing aunty. The door is open. You may go now. Bye.

He ran off. Misha's mom looked confused. Inside Misha heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon she was called to the stage for Varmala. (The bride and groom exchange garlands.) Din Shagna Da was being played in the background.

Rishabh kept looking at her as she came on the stage.

Soon the function started. As soon as Misha was to put the garland in Rishabh's neck, his cousins picked him up.

Misha: Arry!!

Chitransh: Let him remain a bachelor for some more time.

Cousins: Don't worry Didi. Jiju khud hi niche aaenge. Kitni der tak rahenge tumhare bina?

Misha smiled. If Rishabh can do the mischief why can't she?

She picked up the garland and stepped towards a cousin of Rishabh as if she was to put it in his neck only.

Rishabh saw this and started fidgeting.

Rishabh: Keep me down. Tumlog ke mazak me to hamari shaadi hi toot jaegi.

He was kept down and Misha winked at him. He blushed.

After the ritual, they were served with food and the couple was asked to feed each other from their own plate. Misha picked up a morsel and hid a small piece of chilli in it. She gave it to Rishabh who ate it and soon realized his mistake. He looked towards Misha.

Misha: Ye vo Varmala ke time ki punishment thi. Ab aise na dekho varna sab kahenge ki jabardasti shaadi ho rahi hai.

They were asked to rest before next function. When Rishabh reached her room. She was all alone.

Rishabh: You weren't fair. Ab ye mirchi ki jalan tum hi mitaogi.

He leaned forward to kiss her when the room suddenly opened and it was her mother.

Mom: Ohho couple. Don't worry. Take your time. By the way, ye usi time kar lena chahie tha na jab Rishabh pehle tumhare room me tha.

She smirked and winked.

Misha: Mom... Ho..how did you know?

Rishabh was equally surprised.

Mom: Well beta. Jab dulhe ka bhai aa kar songs ke bare me puchne lage tab ye sab samajh me aa jata hai. After all me and your dad are also a couple.

Both blushed.

Soon they were sitting in the mandap for the wedding to start. All the mantras were chanted. The ripples of Ganga soothed Misha. Her dream was getting fulfilled. Pandit ji asked Rishabh to put mangalsutra in Misha's neck. He did it. That touch just shook Misha to her core. He was handling her like a glass doll. He applied vermilion on her head. They were asked to stand up for the phere.

Misha always used to think about the best moment of her life but she never knew that it would be when she will hold the hand of the guy she loves a lot and go around the holy fire. All the vows had meaning in them. She knew Rishabh would always follow his and she will follow hers.

After this they were husband and wife. Soon it was the joota churai moment. All the cousins of Misha surrounded Rishabh. Even Shivam. They demanded money in exchange for the shoes.

Rishabh: 1000?

Cousins: No.

Rishabh: Tab phir kitne ap hi btaie.

Cousins: Jitna ap Misha didi se pyaar karte hai utne ke hisaab se de dijie.

Rishabh: Tab to apko sab kuch de denge tab bhi hum Misha ke lie apna pyaar nhi cover kar paenge.

Everybody hooted at this. Misha smiled. The eldest of the cousin came forward.

' Jiju apki baat ne dil jeet lia hai hamara. Ap na le lijie apne joote. Nahi chahie humlog ko kuch. Bas Didi ka khayal rakhiega. '

With this she started crying. Shivam also cried and hugged Misha who was in tears too.

It was the moment of vidaai. Everybody hugged Misha and cried. Rishabh was also very silent. Misha was also in tears. Soon Rishabh held her hand and sat in the car with her. They drove away to their haveli.

On the way,

Rishabh: Misha I am sorry.

Misha: For what?

Rishabh: I made you cry.

Misha: Oh silly. It's alright.

Rishabh: I will never make you cry again.

He held her hand and she kept her head on his shoulder.

Maybe life wasn't that difficult too.
