The whole riverside was decorated & almost all the villagers were gathered to see the auspicious wedding of their village son with the delicate river princess Sanyukta. The wedding is going to take place on a beautifully decorated boat in the middle of the river so that both the water kingdom and the human community can enjoy the grand wedding. Both, the village priest and the yellow spotted turtle who was the water priest were ready to chant their prayers and bless the two souls. There Randhir and Sanyukta were already present on the boat to make their love eternal. 

Hah, I am so happy finally my Lady Sanyukta is going to get her love (Spinkle wiped her happy tears)

It's all because of you my girl. (The river king patted her tiny head & she nodded a yes)

Flashback

As soon as the giant snake cut the rope sandhir hugged each other more tight & said "I Love You" together. They closed their eyes thinking that it's an end but instead of drowning in the lava they found themselves free from any bondage and there was no lava pit below them. They were fit and fine without any injuries.

Huh, Spinkle why the hell you did that? (The giant snake roared at her)

Spinkle just glanced at her hands and smiled.

Oh! my goodness I got my powers back. (Spinkle swam hear and there in happiness) I got my powers back. Lady when I forwarded my hands to stop you both from going away from me the magical powers left my hand and you both are saved.

I need to confess something. (The river king declared and explained everything about Sanyukta's real identity) so there is no meaning to punish them. They are free to get married and live the life they want. (the king declared )

Father, it means I am not your daughter? (Sanyukta blinked her teary eyes)

Although we don't share a blood relationship Sanyukta but (he held her by her arms) you are always my lovely daughter and I want you to be happy forever (She hugged her father)

Flashback Ends

Dear Randhir (He looked at the village priest with a smile) hold your would be wife's hands (He did that and she blushed) now you can take your vows. Remember, whatever you say should be your own words which you are going to follow forever. (Randhir nodded a yes)

Dear Sanyukta (Randhir spoke looking straight into her eyes)

I choose to love you as a priest loves his temple (she smiled at him)

I will lay aside my pride and sacrifice myself for you    

I will put your needs before my needs... 

your happiness before my happiness..... 

I will care for you and take thought for you    

I choose to keep loving you..........

when our interests diverge... 

Your youthful beauty fades... 

when you doesn't speak sweetly...

and when I doesn't feel 'loving'.

He smiled at her and a tear drop of happiness fell from her eyes....

Dear Lady Sanyukta....(The river priest asked her) now it's your turn to take your vows holding your would be husband's hands tight. Remember, your vows should be from the bottom of your heart which you are going to follow for the rest of your life. (She smiled at Randhir and looked deep into his eyes)

Dear Randhir,

I choose to put you first  before anything or anyone else....

I choose to follow your lead as the true temple defers to her heavenly Bridegroom....

I will be patient with your failings those you see and those you do not....

I will encourage you and forgive you......always....

I will respect you even if your faults are obvious and if I will have to pay the price for your mistakes.

I will always tell you the truth in love....

I will stand by you through it all....

They were looking at each other with utmost care, love and respect but the priest broke their eye lock

Now it's time to take the vows together which are mentioned in our holy book of marriage. (The priest of the village spoke)

So, hold each other hands and start....(The river priest declared)

My dear soulmate......(they started speaking together)  

We will never let the sun go down in our anger....

but, we will race to repel and reconcile.

We will let nothing on earth divide us....  

as long as we both will live.

They finished their vows and all the people clapped for them and the priest declared them as husband and wife.

There a lady was looking at the entire marriage ceremony with tears in her eyes which was of course of happiness.

I am so happy my dear daughter that you are going to enter into your new life. I am glad to the river king that he saved your life that day when I left you like that in the river. I was relived that someone though a mermaid is going to take care of my dear child. If it is possible please forgive your mother. I bless you my child. May God give you all the happiness and bliss. May he bless you. (She wiped her happy tears)

Rishab finally they are together (Nima rested her head on his shoulder)

Yeah, I am happy for my children...

Parth.....(she held his arm tight)

Hmm....(he chipped looking at the newly wed)

Lets get married......(she suggested)

Yeah, Vidushi but .....

But, (she looked at him)

I can't marry a child you know....(he let out his tongue and she chased after him to beat)

Randhir (he looked at the King) take care of my daughter....(the king blinked his teary eyes & Randhir assured him)

Sanyukta....(Nima asked)

Yes Mother

please take care of my Randhir.....

I will (she pressed her palms)

Randhir, (he turned to look at King Oman) I know you are upset with me but, I am here to apologize. (Randhir looked at Sanyukta and she smiled at him) and I am sorry Sanyukta (the king lowered his gaze)

It's okay. Today is a day to celebrate we shouldn't dig the past. (Sanyukta smiled at him)

Congratulations you both....(Princess Jaya smiled at them and they returned the gesture)

Now, the groom should carry his bride in his arms and leave for their home so that they can plan for the new generation with the blessings of God.

Randhir lifted up Sanyukta in his arms and she encircled her arms around his neck. He started marching towards their home & they were looking at each other's eyes deeply.

So, 18 kids hah....(Randhir spoke in a teasing way & she blushed) I love you (he pecked her nose)

I love you too (she kissed his cheek and placed her face in the crook of his neck. He placed his head on her and they entered inside their home sweet home)
