Shivansh's POV
I am getting married in 3 days. Today is my sangeet and Mehendi ceremony. I can't believe it. Marriage was never in my plan and here my sangeet is taking place in 2 hours.
Time skip- Mehendi and Sangeet
Dadi forced me to write Ruhanika's name on my palm with a little design. Now all my siblings are teasing me. Ughhhhh.!!!
Sangeet was a blast. Everyone danced a lot.
Next day,
Today is Haldi ceremony. After applying haldi on me, same haldi will be sent to Ruhanika's place.
God! Haldi ceremony literally turned to Haldi holi. But it was quite fun actually. For the time being I forgot that I was getting married and I was not interested in it.
I came to my room to get fresh and my three monkeys went to Ruhanika's place after freshening up.
Ruhanika's POV
Yesterday, there was mehendi and sangeet ceremony at Rajvansh palace. Aarohi sent me many pictures. Shivanshji has gotten my name written on his palm. And here I am sitting with no mehendi. There is no atmosphere of marriage in this house.
Aarohi called me to tell that they are coming here with the haldi. I quickly changed into a Grey suit. Yeah guys, I don't have a yellow suit. I did a french braid in my hair with some hair strands falling out giving a messy braid look. I applied moisturizer, kajal and lip stick. Wore my jhumkha and some bangles.
I was sitting in my room when Maa called me downstairs. Aarohi was the first one to hug me. Aww, she is so cute. Then Aarav gave me a nice warm hug. He is so sweet. Lastly, Rajveer bhai gave me a side hug. He gives me elder brother vibes which I never had.
"Bhabhi, hum haldi leke aaye hai. Aaiye aap baith jaaye hum laga dete hai." Aarav spoke while taking me to sit on sofa.
(Bhabhi, we have brought the turmeric. Sit here so that we apply it.)
"Bhabhi, aapne mehendi nahi lagai?" Aaru asked seeing my empty hands.
(Bhabhi, you have not gotten mehendi applied?)
"Woh beta, Shrey k papa ko mehendi ki smell se nafrat hai toh maine Ruhanika ko mana kiya tha. Aur waise bhi kya farak padta hai mehendi ho na ho." Maa replied giving me no chance to speak anything.
(Actually child, Shrey's father hates mehendi's smell so I refused Ruhanika. And anyways, it doesnt matter if mehendi is there or not.)
Raj bhai looked at me. "Aarav, ja jaake mehendi k cone leke aa bahar se aur Aaru woh mehendi artist ko call karna ." Bhai said without moving his eyes from me.
(Aarav, go and get Mehendi cones from market and Aaru, call mehendi artist.)
"Aunty, humare yaha Dulhan ko mehendi lagana shagun hota hai. Aur agar Ruhanika ko mehendi se problem nahi hai toh use lagani hi chahiye."
(Aunty, it is a good omen to apply mehendi in our family. And if Ruhanika has no problem with mehendi then she should apply it.)
"Rehne do na beta aur vaise bhi kya farak padta hai. Iski vajah se iske papa ko takleef hogi."
(Leave it Son, how does it matter. Anyways her father will be troubled.)
"Kuch nhi hoga aunty. Main uncle se baat kar lunga."
(Nothing will happen aunty. I will talk to uncle.)
Maa just past a tight lipped smile and went inside.
"Bhabhi, chaliye aapko haldi lagate hai. Main aunty ko bula leti hu bado ko lagani hoti hai na haldi pehle." Aaru said after some time.
(Bhabhi, lets apply haldi to you. I will call aunty, elder has to apply first.)
Aaru went to call Maa but came back and said that she has a very bad headache and refused to come. Nothing that I did not expect.
"Bhai, aap laga di jiye aap bhi toh mere bade bhai hai na." I asked to Raj bhai hopefully. He patted my head and nodded.
(Bro, you apply me. You are also like my elder brother no?)
He then applied haldi on me followed by Aarav and Aaru.
"Bhabhi, waha pe toh puri haldi holi kheli hai, aapko aise hi nhi jaane denge hum." And then Aarav and Aaru both rubbed a lot of haldi on me. I also applied some of haldi on them.
(Bhabhi, we played a full haldi holi there, we wont leave you as well.)
Then I went to freshen up as mehendi artist was about to come.
I got dressed in a simple plazzo suit and went downstairs.
"Bhabhi, aaiye." The mehendi artist asked me if I want any special design. I shook my head and replied," Bas thodi si lagayega."
(Bhabhi, come.)
(Apply little only.)
She nodded and started her work. Raj bhai, Aarav and Aaru kept dancing and singing keeping me entertained. I felt like my haldi and mehendi ceremony were celebrated.
After the mehendi was done, the three of them left and I went to my room as it was already 8pm. I had prepared dinner beforehand as I knew I won't get time with the haldi function. I was admiring my hand and saw His name written.
Next morning.
It's my wedding. Finally I will be leaving this house. Even though My would be husband is not interested in marriage but atleast his family is nice.
We went to the resort booked by Rajvansh family. Dadi-dadu welcomed us and I met His chacha-chachi and Mom. They were not really excited about wedding unlike the youngsters.
Shivansh's POV
I am getting married today. Being married to Her and staying away from her at the same time is going to be tough. They have arrived at the resort and have already been escorted to their rooms. Currently we are all getting ready. Raj is in my room to help me get ready.
Time skip,
Wedding mandap
Our sitting area was made a bit away from the hawan kund as I am pyrophobic i.e. scared of Fire. I was sitting there and panditji was chanting some mantras. Then he asked for the bride.
And then I saw her walking down the aisle. She was looking so beautiful in the red lehenga. I just kept looking at her. She was looking no less then a goddess. I did not even realise when she reached near the mandap untill Raj nudged me. I forwarded my hand to her and she stood beside me. Raj came forward and rotated the money of her to prevent any evil eye.
Then all the wedding rituals took place. Then I was asked to tie mangalsutra around her neck. I did so. Then I filled her mang and a but of sindoor fell on her nose. I was going to clean it but she wishpered,"Rehne dijiye please ". I just nodded.
(Please let it be)
Dadi chimed in and spoke,"Arey, sindoor naak pe girna toh shubh hota hai. Kehte hai ki pati bohot pyaar karta hai."
(It is a good omen when vermillion falls on nose. It says that husband will love his wife a lot.)
After all the rituals we did the dinner and now it was time for her bidaai. Her parents were crying but there was nothing on her face. Her face got completly devoid of any expressions the moment she saw her parents crying. Her parents hugged her but she did not return it.
Ruhanika's POV
At the bidaai, Maa and Papa started crying and I got so angry that why do they need to do such drama. Maa came foward and hugged me," Sasural mein tameez se rehna. Unhone nikaal diya toh yaha tere liye koi jagah nhi hai." She muttered in my ear and let go off me.
(Behave properly in your in laws house. If they threw you out, we wont take you back.)
Papa said nothing just stood beside maa. Shrey was standing beside them with teary eyes. I felt a little sad seeing him.
Then we sat in the car and left for His Home. I was sitting beside him and none of us spoke a word.
After 1 hour we reached his place. The Rajvansh Palace. The place where the Royal family of Rajasthan resides.
I was looking at the mansion when my side of door opened and he forwarded his hand. I gave my hand in his and got out of the car. I was mesmerized by the exterior of the palace.
Dadi and Dadu were standing at the entrance along with youngsters. We went to the entrance. Dadi did our aarti and then asked me to kick the kalash. I did so and then I was asked to put my hand imprints on the outer side of house. Later, Dadi asked me to stand in the alta thaal and put my footprints on the white cloth. Househelpers then folded the cloth after it dried. I was confused as to why they did that as in movies and tv I have seen that footprints are placed on the ground. Dadi might have understood my confision so she told me that," Bahu-Beti Lakshmi Maa ka avatar hoti hai. Isiliye tumhare pairo k nishan wala kapda humari tijori mein rakhenge, isse barkat hoti hai. Aaru k bhi rakhe hai." I nodded.
(Daughters and daughter in laws are form of goddess Lakshmi. Their foot prints are kept in locker as that brings properity. Aaru's footprints are also kept.)
"Dadi, ab woh ring wali game hogi na?" Aarav asked in excitement.
(Grandma, now we will play that ring game no?)
"Ha beta." Dadi replied.
(Yes dear.)
After some time we were zitting in the hall for the rasam. Except for Aarohi everyone was on my side.
Three rounds were played and in them he won 2 of them and I got the ring only once.
"Bhabhi yaar. Aapko bhai ko harana tha." Aarav said with a bit sadness. I did not say anything.
(Bhabhi dude, you should have won.)
"Dost hai kya woh teri. Yaar kya hota hai. Bhabhi bola kar sidhe sidhe." He said after hitting Aarav on the back of head. All of them hooted including Dadu.
(Is she your friend or what? What is dude? Speak properly.)
"Chalo chalo, yeh sab ho gaya hai ab in dono ko aaram karne do. Aaru, beta bhabhi ko room mein leja." Aaru nodded and we moved.
(Come on now, all of this is done, now you both rest. Aaru take your Bhabhi to your room.)

"Toh yeh hai aapka room abse bhabhi." Aaru showed me the room. It was so big. My whole one floor of house would be equal to this room. It was white and beige coloured. I thought it would be dark but I like this room. It gives cozy vibes.
(So this is your room now Bhabhi.)
There was a big bed one side. Then a sitting near a big window. Then a couch set with small table. Three doors, which Aaru told me are closet, washroom and balcony. It is a walk-in closet and so big. The baathroom was also so big. It was also kind of divided into 3 parts. A wash basin area, A toilet and a bathing area where bathtub and shower cabin were there. Whoa!!! Then there was balcony with sitting area.
"Bhabhi, aapka saman yeh raha. Waise bhabhi, bus itna hi saman." I just nodded. My maa never bought me much things. So I only had one suitcase.
(Bhabhi, here is your luggage. Btw, only this much?)
"Bhabhi, main chalti hu. Bhai aate honge." I nodded again.
(Bhabhi, I'll leave. Bro must be coming.)
"Offo, bhabhi aap baat hi nai karte aur main kitna bolti hu." She sulked. I gave her a sweet smile.
(Oh Bhabhi, you dont talk at all and I talk so much.)
She then left the room and I was left alone. I went and sat on the sitting near balcony.
Then I heard the door lock click and I knew he was here. God!! What will happen.
