. . . . .

Rajat carefully takes out all those flower petals he had thrown on Purvi, she smiles to herself.

Suddenly, Rajat places his hand on her cheek. She trembles as she tries to push herself back. and what she felt was his lips melting into hers. this wasn't terrific, it was the most passionate kiss ever. Moonlight sparkled behind them, and they finally broke apart. Had there been no need for oxygen, they could have continued forever.

" Purvi, I love you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. Trust me, I Love you" Rajat finally spoke.

Purvi smiled brightly. Her dream of being with him was coming true, she placed her arm around his neck. He carefully placed a hand on her waist,

A cool breeze came, her dark, lengthy hair swept across her angelic face. He swiped them back to her ears. She blushed, as she whispers I love you in his ear. He beames before leaning in to kiss her again. Then taking her to the ice cream parlor before they headed for the market.

. . . . .

Next day, Haldi ceremony. Early morning od the wedding day!

Scene: Ceremony was to take place in the courtyard. 4 Beautiful decorated seats, a big cloth tied between the boys and the girls area.

It is a tradition to apply Turmeric paste on the boys' and girls' body before the wedding. Abhijit and Daya weren't supposed to see her wives to be now, till the wedding. Everyone settled, girls' on one side, the boys' on the other.

Little amount of turmeric was applied to all of their faces, arms, shoulders and nearly everywhere!

The girls' mother came to apply the haldi and started to cry. The aura soon turned emotional. Tarika and Shreya hugged their mothers and cried.

"Wo log ekdusre ko nahi dekh sakte, lekin mein toh tumhe dekh sakta hun na?" Rajat grabbed the arm of Purvi, who was busy in work.

Purvi blushed. She then placed a hand on his cheek and removed the little droplet of the turmeric paste. He kisses her forehead before leaving as he was called by someone.

The ceremony soon ended, now it was time to get ready for the wedding.

"Chalo, It's Time" Purvi announced as she came inside the girls' room, she was elegantly dressed in her stone studded blue lehenga, hair done in a bun decorated with a flower with a loose strand falling out. Her light makeup made her look simply gorgeous!

Tarika was clad in Golden, White and Maroon lehenga, hair done perfectly, having all those jewelry a bride has. She looked perfect for the day. Shreya wore a beautiful Silver bridal piece with heavy work of red. Elegant indeed, she looked breathtaking.

The Grand Wedding,
Scene: The hall decorated beautifully, flowers of all kinds, heavenly mandap, big DJ and all what a grand wedding could have.

The mothers' came and hugged their daughters.

Purvi: "please rona mat, makeup saara kharab hojaega"

She tried to cheer up the surroundings, Tarika and Shreya smiled. The mothers' now took them to the mandap downstairs. Tarika and Shreya looked around and smiled at Purvi, her decoration choice was angelic, like her of course.

Abhijeet and Daya, looked hot in their respective sherwaanis', which matched their brides' dress. They gazed their brides as they came downstairs. Guests who were sitting too stood up. Purvi too accompanied, Rajat looked at her in admiration.

Abhijeet forwarded his hand for Tarika, Daya too helped Shreya walk till his side. They all sat down, the priest began with the rituals.

The two couples, stood up and were handed Rose, Morning Glory and Orchid garlands for the ritual of Jai-mala.

Everyone smiled, as Daya and Abhijeet bowed down as their brides put the garlands around their neck. They now sat down and continued with the rituals.

The mothers of the brides' tied the veil of their daughters with a white cloth, which was put around the grooms' neck.

Now, it was the 'shubh muhrat' of the nuptial rituals (Phere).

Abhijeet and Daya held their brides' hand and took rounds around the fire as everyone showered them with rose petals.

They sat down and then tied the nuptial necklace (mangal sutra) around the brides' neck. Then the vermillion (Sindoor) was applied in the forehead.

Tears appeared in the birdes' eyes. (which were of course wiped away!) They had never been so happy before!

"Shaadi sampan hui, aajse aaj log pati-patni hein" Priest ended up. Everyone cheered and clapped.

The couples looked at one another is happiness, they stood up and were hugged by family members. This was indeed the Best Day Ever!

"I am hungry, chalo khana khaein" Pankaj happily announced. Everyone smiled as they proceeded towards the dining area.

when everyone was finished eating. It was finally time for Vidaai.

The girls cried hugging their parents, and then smiled as they sat into the cars with their grooms. Al their luggage was already packed, everyone was now ready to leave.

. . . .

Duo's house:

The grehpravesh was done by Manisha (Freddy's wife), the brides entered inside. Some ladies started with the some puja. It was ended as some traditional games were to be followed,

The couples competed in finding the rings in a big bowl full of milk and then tried to open each other's knot of wrist thread.

Everything was finally finished, everyone was tired. Purvi helped Shreya and Tarika to their rooms and teased them for their first night.

Everyone sat outside sipping tea and discussed the Reception plans.

an hour later,

Finally Abhijeet and Daya were allowed to enter inside their rooms.

. . . . .

Purvi, Rajat, Manisha and Freddy, and Vineet were stay over at Duo's place. Rest everyone left. Freddy, Vineet and Rajat shared the guest room while Manisha shared with room with Purvi. (she had her very own room in Duo's house, she was like a little sister and the two wanted her to stay with them now).

Purvi, Manisha's room:

Manisha was fast asleep, Purvi was removing her hair pins when her phone rang. She quickly rushed towards it to pick, she didn't want to disturb her sleeping bhabhi.

Purvi smiled as they hanged the phone without receiving, she then carefully opened the door and walked out till the balcony and saw him standing there.

Balcony,

"Rajat?" Purvi slowly whispered in his ear.

Rajat turned to find her standing close to him, he smiled caressing his nose over hers. She cutely smiled back. Her bare waist shivered as he wrapped his arms around it and hugged her. She hugged him back.

They sat down on the stools kept there under the stars, he rested his head in her lap. She lovingly caressed his hair as they chatted.

Suddenly, Purvi got up and pointed "Wo dekhiye toota hua taara" She squealed in delight. "Kitna khoobsurat hai" She exclaimed pulling his till the railing.

"Tumse zaayada nahi" Rajat whispered, as he hugged her from back and nuzzled her neck. She smiled and closed her eyes. Rajat made her turn towards him, and melted his lips into hers.
