Ved held Geet's hand when they walked into the ballroom.

It was a cocktail party arranged for the employees of Khuranna Industries. Their wedding is to be held in a week.

The wedding is happening in full Punjabi style, except for this cocktail party.

After the small Shagun ceremony held at Geet's home the day they went to ask her hand for marriage, they did the roka ceremony two days later.

He had gifted her a set of diamond studs that day.

She was wearing them tonight, which complements well with the turquoise cocktail gown she is wearing.

This was the first time he saw Geet in western style. And she looked absolutely gorgeous in it.

"Geet, you look gorgeous." He whispered to her as they walked in.

Geet gave him a bright smile in return.

"And you are the most handsome man I have ever met, Ved ji" Geet complimented him openly.

He had bought her this gown, because he loved that colour on her.

For their chunni ceremony, she was wearing a turquoise coloured lehenga with the same coloured choli with extensive baby pink embroidery on it.

They conducted the engagement on the same day evening, where they exchanged rings, officially committing to each other.

Ved walked around with Geet, introducing her to business associates and other employees.

"Ved ji. I am tired." Geet huffed after walking around for a while.

"Let's sit here." Ved guided her to a couch in the corner.

"Oh!! That feels like heaven." Geet mumbled, removing her high heels, which her Maya bua forced her to wear.

"I will go get something for you to drink." Ved said sweetly.

"Thank you, Ved ji. I am really thirsty." Geet said in gratitude.

As soon as Ved was out of sight, Tanya walked towards Geet, her eyes spitting envy.

"You are the middle class girl who trapped VK." Tanya gritted out giving Geet a once over.

Geet looked at Tanya bored.

"Yes. That's me!!" Geet said cooly.

"Well. Let's see how long you will be able to hold his attention." Tanya smirked.

"Are you going to keep a watch on us? You don't have any work at the office?" Geet asked making Tanya fume.

"You illiterate fool. Do you even know what you are getting into? He is just hooked to the novelty of you. Once the novelty wears off, he will come back to me." Tanya said in an evil tone.

"You? Why would he come back to you? Who are you anyways?" Geet asked curiously, wondering why this woman has such stupid beliefs.

"Because that's how rich people are." Tanya gritted out.

Geet laughed heartily.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I always wanted to have my love story like they show in my serials. But my Ved ji is so sweet. There was no drama. At least I had a vamp in my story." Geet said happily.

"What the hell?? Did you just call me a vamp?" Tanya asked in disbelief.

She wanted to create trouble for what Ved did to her. She thought the village bumpkin would run off crying.

Geet sighed

"Tanya ji. Why do you want to be a vamp in my story? You look good. You have a good job. You are smart. If you try, you can be a heroine in your own story. After all, what do you even lack?" Geet asked in utter confusion.

Ved who saw Tanya near Geet had rushed back to them and that's when he heard Geet's dialogue.

He couldn't stop the smirk from forming on his face.

"Exactly Tanya. What do you even lack. Haa!! After tonight, you will be lacking a proper job." Ved said, informing her she is no more welcome at the Khuranna Industries.

Tanya walked away fuming.

She was not worried about the job. She was demoted and she didn't particularly want the job anymore. She couldn't resign because she will have to pay the compensation. So she thought she could at least create some misunderstanding between the couple, but she failed miserably.

Ved handed over the cool drink to Geet.

"Geet. Don't take her seriously."

"Don't worry Ved ji. I have seen a similar scene before." Geet said excitedly.

"In your serial?" Ved asked indulgently.

"No. I read it in a story. Actually there are so many good stories on many online platforms. They are so freaking amazing. Better than the television shows." Geet said excitedly.

"Really?"

"And you know Ved ji. I found a story written by one of these amazing writers. The Sheikh's Unforgettable Wife. That's the story's name. In that story, the hero and the heroine have a set of triplets. And they are so cute. I love all three of them. I hope we also get triplets after marriage." Geet said dreamily.

"Ah ha! You want to have babies, Geet?" Ved asked huskily.

Geet blushed.

Reading these stories on online platforms has been very informative. They write things they don't show in the television shows and movies.

Suffice to say, she prefers reading novels over watching her serial now.

Does that make her a bad girl? Because she like reading stuff like that?

"Are you blushing, Geet?" Ved asked huskily and Geet's breath hitched.

He leaned forwards and her breathing quickened.

Is he going to kiss her? Like the hero in the story she read in the morning.

In the story, the triplets come running from nowhere whenever the hero is near the heroine. But there is no one here to interrupt them.

Ved stared at her heaving form. His eyes zeroed in on her lips. He badly wanted to kiss her.

Geet parted her lips instinctively. She darted her tongue out and licked her lips as they went dry suddenly.

Ved groaned and pulled back, controlling himself.

"Geet. Let's go. Everyone will be waiting for us."

"Oh," Geet mumbled disappointedly.

******

"What do you mean by I can't attend the function??" Ved asked in exasperation.

"Men are not allowed for the mehndi function, Ved." Ambika said calmly.

"Why not?? I am the one getting married. How can you say that I can't attend my own pre wedding ritual?" Ved asked in disbelief.

"That's the custom, Ved." Dadi said.

"That's unfair." Ved complained.

"You can attend the sangeet ceremony tomorrow." Daya said, trying to placate him.

"Oh!! How nice of you, to let me attend my own function." Ved said sarcastically.

After the Khuranna women left, Ved was pacing back and forth in the poolside, bitching about the old customs.

"Will you stop it? I am getting a headache watching you pace like this." Mayur said in annoyance.

"I am going." Ved declared suddenly.

"Where?" Karan asked casually, sipping on his coffee.

"To Geet's house." Ved said, walking out and Karan and Mayur had to run ro keep up with him.

"You can't go there." Karan called out to him.

"Why not? I am sure they will welcome their damad ji wholeheartedly." Ved said smugly, knowing how much the people in the area already loves their Geet bitiya's fiance.

True to his words,Ved was welcomed into the function with hugs from the men and pinches on his cheeks and chin from the women.

Ved ignored the glares from the Khuranna women and sat next to Geet.

"Ved ji. You came!!" Geet said excitedly.

"How can I miss seeing my Geet getting her mehndi done." Ved asked, flicking her nose playfully.

The mehndi artist giggled as she continued with the design.

"Is my name written there?" Ved whispered to Geet.

Geet nodded in no and Ved's smile dimmed.

"I was lying. Your name is hidden in the design." Geet said cheekily.

"Ah ha! Do you think I should also get your name written in my palms?" Ved asked curiously.

"Will you??" Geet asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Anything for you Geet." Ved said and got another mehndi artist to write Geet's name on his palm.

****

The Sangeet ceremony was held at Geet's place itself.

A makeshift stage was made in the street.

The opening dance was by their dadi, who danced on a fast number leaving the audience gaping.

The next dance was performed by Ambika Daya and Nalini together.

The next dance was by Karan and Naina. They were dancing on an old bollywood number.

Ved gaped at Karan who was wearing a shirt with green and yellow floral print.

If their business associates sees this dance, they will never take KK seriously again.

The function ended with a dance by Geet and Ved on Suraj Hua Mad ham song from the famous Sharukh Khan movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum.

"For heaven sake. Keep my credit card and get whatever you want," Ved huffed in annoyance, trying to get past Naina to go to his bedroom where his newly wedded wife is waiting for him.

"Credit card?? Is it unlimited?" Naina asked cheekily.

"Yes yes. Buy whatever you want." Ved said impatiently.

Naina, finally took pity on him and let him inside the room.

His heart drummed against his rib cage at the sight of Geet sitting on the centre of their bed with her vein covering her face.

She looked ethereal.

"Geet," he whispered, raising the veil.

"Ved ji. Why were you late?" She pouted cutely.

"I am here now." Ved whispered.

Geet hugged him tightly.

"We are married, Ved ji. We are married," she squealed in excitement.

"Yes. We are." Ved chuckled happily.

He helped her in removing her ornaments and the numerous hairpins that held her long thick hair together.

As soon as her hair fell down her back, Geet sighed in relief.

Ved gently massaged her head and a moan of pleasure escaped Geet's lips.

Ved gulped hearing her moan.

"That feels good." Geet mumbled in pleasure.

Ved continued gently massaging her hair.

"Ved ji, can you untie my strings of my blouse. It's too tight." Geet said and Ved gulped as he moved her hair over her shoulders.

Her milky white back got exposed to him. He wanted to kiss every inch of her satiny soft skin.

He untied the strings that held together the blouse, other than the single hook.

"There are marks," Ved said and he caressed the reddish marks made by the tight thread on her skin.

Geet stiffened feeling his caress.

She quickly turned around and hugged him shyly

"Geet..." He called her and placed a finger on her chin, raising her head.

He caressed her cheeks lovingly and Geet's arms crept around his neck unknowingly.

Ved bent down a little and looked into her eyes to see if she felt any discomfort.

When he saw she was waiting for him to proceed, he leaned in and took her lips in his.

He sucked in her lower lip and Geet mimicked his actions.

"I love you, Geet." Ved mumbled into her mouth.

"I too love you, Ved ji."
