SARA'S POV:

It was the morning of our wedding. I am getting married. Yayy. I was up since 5 and currently it was 7, the make up artists were doing my makeup and finally they were done. Now I have to wear the 'nauvari' saree which is a task in itself but I am willing to do anything to get united with my love.

Currently Aditi and the make up artists were making me wear it since Aditi knew how to wear it. And in an hour I was ready. Huff it took long. We have the Marathi wedding at 11. Still two hours to go.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I was looking divine. Now don't say I am self obsessed. Jab dikhte hai acche to bolna bhi chahiye, hehe.

Currently I was wearing all green bangles since those symbolise with the red ones in Punjabi rituals.

I was tied the 'mandval' on my head and honestly I love the way I look by this. This was so beautiful and dreamy for me. I wonder how will Shub react when he gets to see me since after night he was not allowed to even have a look at me or my photo. Poor boy, hehe.

There were many rituals to be done before Shubman arrives so we hurried well my family hurried. First we had the Ganpati Puja where we worshipped for our bright future followed by devdevak which was calling deity to the wedding mandap. And then Gurihar Puja where I worshipped Pravati maa for our prosperous life. My mama offered me some rice which I was made to offer to godess.

And finally it was time. I was carried by my brother and maternal uncle to the venue where everyone blessed me and then came Shubman. I stood in a room at the side. Shubman was supposed to come on a horse but ab London mai kaha se ghoda laaye.

Aditi: Shubman lag to mast Raha hai. Hai na Sara?

Aditi teased me and I laughed.

"Yaa gives me tough competition na."

Shubman arrived and he stood at the doorstep. Maa did his aarti and pulled his nose a little to which he scrunched his nose but laughed.

Later he was led to the stage by his maternal uncle and was made to sit on the paat. Then it was my time. I was led to the paat with my maternal uncle. I didn't dare to look up. But Aditi who was beside me nudged me to do so and I did and there he was.

SHUBMAN'S POV:

There she was, my beautiful baby walking towards me shining in her ethereal beauty. I kept looking at her and I felt wet on my cheeks. Oh I began crying. I wiped the tears and as soon as she was near me I held my hand out for her. She immediately held onto it and she sat beside me.

"You are looking more beautiful than I imagined."

"You look handsome too bubs. And don't cry baby."

"I won't but all this makes me emotional."

"I know. I love you."

When our pretty long conversation was over we were made to stand up.

POV END.

They both stood up and an 'antarpat' was held in between them restricting their vision to see each other. Shahneel and Arjun stood beside them holding the varmala.

The priest chanted the mantras while saying 'Shub mangala savdhaan' at the end of every mantra and the people present there kept throwing rice and flowers on them. After the mantras ended the antarpat was removed and everyone clapped.

They both were handed the varmala and Sara was asked to make him wear it first. Shubman went down on his one knee and she gave him a very graceful smile while everyone present there hooted. She made him wear it and then herself bent down. Shubman put the varmala on her and again flowers were showered on them.

Then they again sat down and Sara's parents came near them. It was the kanyadan time. Sara looked at her parents with tears glistening in her eyes and they both had tears.

"Shubman meri beti ka khayal rakhna. Thodi shaitaan hai par Dil ki bohot saaf hai. Mai kanyadan nahi kar raha hu. Mai apni beti kabhi dan  kar hi nahi sakta ye to bas ek rasam hai."

"Baba I promise I will love Sara more than my life and I won't let you down ever."

Sara looked at him and he squeezed her hand assuring her. Later the rasam was done and then the holy fire was lit. Firstly Sara uttered three chants which were said by the pandit and then Shubman repeated them which was quite a task because they were in Marathi but he managed. The fourth chant, Sara uttered secretly. The yellow threads dipped in haldi were made to tie around each other's hands and then they stood up for phere.

For the first three ones Sara was in front and later four Shubman led the way. After the phere were done they sat again and Shubman tied the mangalsutra around her neck. He dipped a coin in the sindoor and applied it on her head. Some fell on her nose and he was about to wipe it but his mother stopped him.

"Shub don't wipe it it's good."

He agreed and sat back. After some time Arjun was called and was asked to twist his ear to remind him of his marital duties. It was fun and then the wedding got over. Shubman and Sara took everyone's blessings in the end.

One by one everyone met them and then came the ICT with their families.

Ritika: Congratulations babies.

She squealed and hugged them both together.

Shubman: Thank you bhabhi.

Virat: Kaka ki shaadi ho gayi finally.

Anushka: Ya and it was so beautiful. I didn't know Marathi weddings were this beautiful.

Shubman: Accha to tha bhabhi par meri naak kat jati wo mantra bolte bolte accha hai itne din Mumbai me rehna kaam aa gaya mere.

Everyone laughed and they all had a group photo.

Ishan: Bhai ki shaadi ho gayi.

He said and did a little Bhangra which Aditi pulled him down since it was embarrassing. Everyone was watching them from downstairs.

Sara: Ishan agli baarat mai naach Lena.

She said and he laughed.

Ishan: jaroor bhabhi ji woh to Punjabi hogi zor zor se dhol bajenge.

Shubman: Ab aap sabka ho gaya ho to khana khaane chale? I am really very hungry.

Sky: kaisa banda hai bhook nahi control kar sakta?

Rivaba: chup ho jao sab log bichare ko bhuk lagi hai.

Natasha: yep even Sara must be hungry. Chalein babies?

Hardik: Ab ye dono babies nahi rahe.

Shubman: Shubman quickly made them go since he didn't wanted to shift their attention on his poor unborn babies.

He held Sara's hand and they both followed the ICT towards the lunch section.

It was authentic Marathi thali with Puran poli, aamras, Puri, rice, aamti, kadhi, and everything which wanted everyone's mouth.

Keart: Shubman aur Sara ek dusre ko ek ek bite khilao.

She said and they blushed since everyone was looking at them with teasing eyes. Shubman fed her a bite and she took fed him.

Keart: Haa ab aap sab log chalu kar sakte hai aur tum dono bhi acche se khana.

Sara: mumma aap log nahi khayenge? Aur Maa Baba woh kaha hai kabse dikhe hi nahi.

Keart: beta hum log kha lenge. Abhi kuch aur rituals baaki hai par usme tum dono ki jaroorat nahi hai so tum Bina tension liye Khao okay.

Sara: okay.

Keart smiled and moved her hand over Sara's face and kissing her head she went away.

Ishan: bhabhi to abhi se acchi Bahu ban gayi.

Shubman: Ishan muh band krke khana kha warna jitna plate mai hai utna bhi khaane nahi dunga.

Ishan: pagal wagal hai kya itna accha khana kon chode.

He said and began eating quietly. The lunch was a pretty funny affair and after that Shubman and Sara were again seperated since it was time to get Sara ready for another wedding to which Shubman was annoyed.

"Yrr ab to shaadi bhi ho gayi abhi to saath rehne do."

"Shub paglo ki tarah mat behave kr usko ready hona hai."

"Pr di hum saath mai ready ho jayenge."

"Virat Bhai aur Ishan isko please leke jao aur ab apni baarat ke saath aana."

Arjun said teasingly and gave a winning smirk to Shubman.

"Arjun tu mera saala hone se pehle dost hai yrr apne dost ke saath Aisa mat kr."

" All is fair in love and shaadi jiju."

Shubman made a face but was pulled away by Virat and Ishan. Virat and Ishan kept him busy in some or the other thing and soon it was evening. This time the baarat was legit. Everyone was dancing especially the ICT was dancing crazily while Shubman enjoyed the camaraderie around him.

He was accompanied by all the children on his side and he was glad that he met this crazy family in the name of the team.

After dancing crazily for over half n hour finally Shubman reached the doorstep again. All the rituals were followed and they were led to the mandap. It was already night now.

Sara joined him and he was again flattered by her beauty. This time she was walking under the floral canopy which was held by Arjun, her cousin,Ishan and Shreyas.

Shubman was so glad that she had developed such a strong bond with Ishan and Shreyas, the two pillars of his life. She came and he again gave her his hand. She gladly accepted it and they both came on the stage.

"God has made me so lucky. I am getting married to my dream girl and that too twice."

"Me too Shub. I can't express my happiness right now."

They whispered in each other's ears and then the varmala happened. After that Sachin was doing her kanyadan and then they stood up for phere.

In the mean time Vedika, Alysha, Aditi and Arjun were trying to search for his shoes but it seemed like an impossible task right now because it was nowhere to be seen.

While the boys of ICT looked towards each other and smirked.

Yash: Inko kya laga hum aise hi joote inhe de denge. Haha.

Sky: Aur nahi to kya ab dekho kaise dhund rahe hai. Ishan tune aache se chupa toh diye na?

Ishan: Aree bhaiyya aap dekho to sahi aisi jagah chupaye hai ki kabhi Hume bhi nahi milenge. I mean acchi jagah chupaye hai.

Just when he said this he felt a tap on his shoulder and everyone looked back.

Vedika: Aapko jaroor nahi milenge par hume mil gaye.

She said and the girls side ran away from them.

Virat hit Ishan at the back of his head and he whined.

Virat: Is gadhe ko kuch kaam hi nahi dena chahiye kuch nahi hota isse.

Ishan: aree bhaiyya pata nahi yrr kaise mil gaye.

Rohit: mai batata hu. Isne chupaye kidhar the pata hai? Stage ke niche. Common yrr woh to bohot common place hai woh movies mai sab udhar hi chupate hai.

Ishan: isliye bhaiyya picture ka reference liya tha.

Ritika: woh sab chodo ab to Shubman loot jayega.

Anushka: poor boy.

Everyone sighed but laughed. It was fun ritual and definitely the girls side won in this.

The phere were done and then everyone sat to have dinner. It was again a fun gathering. When everything was done Shubman searched for his shoes but couldn't find and he sighed.

Shubman: ye Ishan ko kuch kaam dena hi nahi chahiye. Aditi kaise ladke ko apna boyfriend bana liya tumne?

Ishan pouted and everyone laughed.

Aditi: Jiju ab paise nikalo.

Shubman: boliye saali saheba kitne chahiye.

Alysha: jyaada nahi jiju bas 1 lakh.

Hardik: bas 1 lak Maine to khud 5 diye the.

Vedika: haww sacchi phir to Hume 7 lakh chahiye.

Shubman: thik hai kal tum sabke accounts mai contry aa jayega. Bas. Ab mere joote do wapas.

Keart: Accha ab chale. Waise bhi abhi vidaai hogi nahi kyunki woh to Mumbai jaake karni hai. Abhi Sara ko room mai le jao aur Ishan tu Shubman ke saath baith thodi der bahar.

Sara went away and Shubman sat with the boys in the garden.

Rohit: Aur Shub kaisa lag raha hai?

Rohit asked mischievously and Shubman smiled.

Shubman: bhaiyya abhi to bohot mast lag raha hai. Finally Sara se shaadi ho gayi.

Ishan: Aree gadhe bhaiyya suhagrat ke baare mai puch rahe hai.

Shubman: Hai?? Mai kyu batau?

Shreyas: Shub tu apne bhaiyo ko nahi bataega?

Shubman: aree par isme batane layak kya hai? Accha lag raha hai.

Virat: But on a serious note Shub, now your responsibility has increased. You have to make Sara your priority with focusing on cricket. Kabhi aisa mat krna ki cricket ki wajah se Sara ko bhool jao ya Sara ke karan cricket ko bhool jao. I know she is not like that she understands the importance cricket holds in your life because of Sachin sir but still.

Rohit: Hum kuch tips share krenge. Bhooliyo mat.

Ashwin: yep, first of all never go to bed without solving your issues.

Virat: never forget important dates. Ladki chahe kitna bhi bole it's okay not a big thing par unko Dil se bura lagta jab hum bhool jate hai.

Rohit: never bring out your issues infront of others. It will only create an image in people's mind.

Sky: aur ha Bhai tera hi kaam hai din mai ek baar usko apne haath se kuch khilana agar saath ho to yk keeps them happy.

Bumrah: Ab bas kro yrr woh dar jayega.

Everyone laughed and Shubman rubbed his nape while smiling. They kept talking and then Shahneel asked Shubman to come since it was already 1 at night.

Everyone wished good night to each other and went to their rooms. When Shubman reached near his room he found Shahneel and Sara's friends and cousins waiting at the door.

Shubman: Tum sab log aise daat kyu dikha rahe ho. Jao saaf krke aao daat mai khana atka hua hai.

He said and laughed but got quite when everyone glared at him.

Shahneel: hume shagun chahiye. Jitna Hume chidhaoge aur late kroge utna late Sara ke pass jane milega soch lo.

Shubman: par abhi to diya tha.

Vedika: jiju woh jooto ka tha, ye wala apka room decorate krne ke liye hai.

Shubman: had hai par abhi nahi de sakta Mera wallet nahi hai. Jab Mumbai jayenge I promise sabka gift tumhare ghar mai mil jayega.

Alysha: Aap Sara se pyaar krte ho isliye chod rahe hai.

She said and then giggling everyone went away while Shubman smiled shaking his head.
