She looked at him and gave him her sweet smile making her dimple visible .

Vihaan know at that instant that this girl has him wrapped around her tiny fingers and he doesn't have a tiny bit of problem with it.

Amaya left her hand and Vihaan helped her to climb the mandap with her heavy outfit.

They both sat in front of the holy fire and Vihaan entwined their fingers making Aradhaya blush, she looked at him from under her lashes and he give her a assuring smile.

They both stood for exchanging of garlands, Vidushi come with the plate of two garlands, Aradhaya took it but she couldn't make him wear that as he was taller then her, Vihaan saw her struggling and bend down in front of her making everyone do "awww".

Vihaan made her wear the garlands, then they sat for kanyadan ritual, Aradhaya's father did the ritual, " I m giving you my daughter Vihaan take care of her," Mr.Patel said as he completed the ritual.

"I will uncle with every fiber of my body." Vihaan said with a smile.

The priest called the groom sister to tie the knot," I m going to tie it Soo tightly that even if Bhai went to escape he can't." Vidushi said tying their dupatta .

Aradhaya and Vihaan stood up for the seven vows ,

"Shreya where is di." Aradhaya asked thought she already knows the answer,

"She left after handing you to Vihaan but she strictly told me to tell you that you won't become sad." Shreya said holding her hand.

Aradhaya nodded though she was sad but she composed herself as she didn't wanted to hurt Amaya more than she already did.

Vihaan walked towards them," Aradhaya you are looking tired go to room take rest ,no need of sitting here anymore." Vihaan said with concern.

"Why Vihaan already Soo eager to go to room." Shreya asked teasingly.

Aradhaya blushed while Vihaan glared at her." Shut up Shreya, " Vihaan said irritated.

"But Vihaan ji the guest are still there." Aradhaya said.

"Well they can go to hell, Gia Take her to room." Vihaan said seriously,

"Stubborn guy." Aradhaya muttered under her breath while going with Gia and Vihaan chuckled.

"I..Gia I m not ready for this yet...I love Vihaan ji but this all is to new for me." Aradhaya confessed.

"Common babe don't be silly , he loves you and he will surely understand." Gia assured her.

Aradhaya nodded but she can't stop the nervousness.

After sometime

Aradhaya standing by the window she was still in bridal wear but has took of her jewelry and only wearing the magalsutra ( nuptial chain) .

She heard the door opening and her heart started beating harder, she turned around and saw Vihaan leaning on the door looking at her admiringly, the intensity in his eyes was making her blush,

She gulped tell him Aru , oh Gannu ji help me Aradhaya thought sending mental prayer.

"Vihaan ji I need to tell you something." She said nervously,

Vihaan nodded still lost in her, " Vihaan ji I m talking with you." Aradhaya said a bit irritated as he was not paying attention to her,

"And I m admiring my wife do you have problem with that Mrs.Vihaan Rajput." Vihaan asked with a smrik, the word wife sounded Soo good to him, it send him a sense of proud and happiness.

Aradhaya blushed looking down." No but pay attention to my words to." She said playing with her fingers and looked up but her breath hitched finding his face just a inch away from her,

"Tell me now my whole attention is in your words." He told her,

"Woh..woh..I..ahem..I m not ready for.
.... the...ne.. next step..of our.. relationship..yet." Aradhaya said with nervousness.

Vihaan eyes softened but immediately filled with mischief," what, but I was Soo excited for it ...." He said with said face and saw her who was looking like she burst into tears any moment.

He bursted out laughing looking at her." Hey..I was joking, owwe." He yulped as Aradhaya throwed pillow at him which directly landed on his face.

"I hate you , do you know how afraid I was about your reaction ." Aradhaya told him angirly.

Vihaan chuckled made her sit in the bed and kneeled down in front of her entwining their fingers." Aradhya physical relationship is a part of material life but it's not something necessary if you want then I can spend my whole life happily without physical relationship because for me what matters more is your love and your comfort and most importantly you beside me,." Vihaan told her looking directly at her eyes and Aradhaya could see nothing but honesty and love in his eyes for her.

"And get charged into something comfortable we are going out." Vihaan said standing up.

"Going out but where." Aradhaya asked confused.

"To make our first night memorable , I know you are tired but trust me you will love now go change this heavy thing in to something comfortable like track suit or pajamas." Vihaan said.

Aradhaya nodded and took pajamas went to washroom, she sighed in relief after getting rid of the heavy outfit, she wore pajamas and saw Vihaan ready in his hoodie and sweatpants.

Vihaan looked at she was looking Damm cute in her panda pajamas with mehendi and chuda still in her hands, she had tied her in simple braid.

He walked towards her and peaked her nose." My cute wife." He said and she blushed.

"But Vihaan just if anyone saw us like this...." She said trailed of.

"Don't worry I have told Rey and Heer to keep the back door open." He said holding her hand and entwining their fingers.

They went out from the back door and sat inside the car, Vihaan started driving and Aradhaya enjoyed the cold night breezes. Vihaan time to time kissed their entwined hands earning her blush.

They some but before Aradhaya could look out Vihaan covered her eyes with a cloth." Vihaan ji this is not done." Aradhaya whined like a child.

"Everything is fare in love wifey." Vihaan said getting out of the car , he Carefully helped her out of the car and made her walk somewhere, Aradhaya could hear the faint sounds of waves hitting each other.

"Now open your eyes love." Vihaan whispered taking off the cloth from her eyes,

Aradhaya slowly opened her eyes and gasped, she covered mouth in shock, the scene in front of her was not less than a dream, a dream which she always dreamed.

They were in the beach , which was  beautiful covered with candle and rose petals, there was sitting arrangements to , one side it was beautifully written 'will you merry merry' with candles,

Aradhaya turned towards Vihaan and got more surprised seeing him in knees holding a ring." I know it's a bit late for me to ask you this but this was one of your dream , remember on day when we all went to Anna's shop to give order for your dress, that day in restaurant you told Vidushi and Aradhaya your dream proposal, that for me it was nothing more than a joke and to way to irritate you but..." He chuckled remembering that day

He looked at her who was looking at him in tears,"I promised myself that I will full fill your each and every wish , I know it's not good as I , Rey, Heer and Vivian has , arranged all these in a short time, but still I want to ask you that, will you you merry me Mrs Aradhaya Vihaan Rajput." He asked her with all the love in his voice and was immediately engulfed by Aradhaya tight hug.

"I will,"she said hugging him tightly hiding her face in his neck , the surprise was to much emotional for her.

Vihaan broke the hug and peaked her forehead, he took her hand and made her wear it." I want to give you another gift Aradhaya, I know you are sad for Amaya , but I promise you that i will do everything to get back your Di to you, I promise to do everything possible for me to give make both of your bond like before." Vihaan promised her and smiled at him teary eyed,

"Now will you give me the honour to dance with you Mrs.Rajput." Vihaan asked her playfully and giggled giving him her hand.

He turned on his mobile music,

They both were swing gracefully with the music." Aradhaya, I know our love story was filled with many flaws but for me it was the best story and I will cherish it till my last breath."Vihaan suddenly said.

Aradhaya smiled nodding her head agreeing with him." Now what are you thinking." He asked twirling her making her giggling.

He pulled her back in his arms , her back was touching his front as he rested his chin on her shoulder.

A shiver run down Aradhaya body and she closed her eyes in bliss." Nothing Vihaan just thinking how Fate played it's game with us." Aradhaya said.

Vihaan smiled." But I m happy it did Aradhaya, I know we all suffered but at the end we got our happiness and I m sure that Amaya to will get her happiness soon , as after darkness there is light.," Vihaan said.

Aradhaya nodded and smiled at him.

The laugher and giggles echoed in the silent beach along with the sound of waves as the two soulmate danced in each other's arms in love.
