Chapter 60 Their Happily Ever After
Instead of a simple aarti, Aaryaant's masi or Kairav's brother's wife stood under a golden canopy, flanked by family members in a designer couture, holding a grand aarti thali encrusted with uncut diamonds and rubies.
A floral shower is orchestrated from a hidden petal dispenser in the ceiling releasing rare orchids and roses flown in from across the world.
After their grand aarti, his grandmother instructed Vanya to kick in the pure gold vessel studded with emeralds, filled with saffron infused rice.
As Vanya gracefully kicks the pot, drones capture the moment in a slow cinematic motion, displaying it on digital screens around the mansion.
Done with the ritual, she was requested to step onto the altar filled crystal glass plate, a pool of illuminated rose water and pearls swirled as she steps.
As she walked forward, her footprints lit up in shimmering gold, symbolising their Goddess Lakshmi's arrival.
Her Grih Pravesh is an unforgettable blend of heritage and grandeur, ensuring her entry into his home is as legendary as their love story.
Aaryaant it was a world of its own. Vast yet intimate, grand yet personal.
The walls were adorned with intricate carvings, the ceiling held a crystal chandelier that bathed the room in a golden glow, and the plush, king-sized bed was covered in the softest silk sheets, strewn with fragrant rose petals. The large arched windows opened to the serene view of the estate, shimmering under the night sky.
Vanya stepped inside, her bare feet sinking into the velvet carpet. Her crimson bridal lehenga had been replaced by an elegant silk saree, draping her like a whisper of moonlight. The sindoor in her hairline, the delicate mangalsutra resting against her skin—each symbol spoke of the vows they had taken just hours ago.
Aaryaant stood near the antique fireplace, the soft flames casting a golden glow over his sharp features. His ivory kurta, embroidered with gold, complemented his commanding presence.
But tonight, in this moment, it wasn’t the powerful trillionaire that stood before her—it was a man deeply, irrevocably in love with his wife.
Their eyes met!
"You redecorated the room?" Vanya asked softly, glancing at the flickering candles, the warm lights, the carefully placed floral arrangements.
It felt… different. Warmer. Romantic.
Aaryaant smirked, stepping closer!
"I wanted it to feel like ours now." His voice was low, rich, carrying a tenderness only she could bring out in him.
Vanya’s heart fluttered. "It does."
He reached out, his fingers grazing the bangles on her wrist before entwining with her hand.
"So, Mrs. Dandwani… Are you nervous?"
She tilted her head, a playful glint in her hazel eyes.
"Should I be?"
His lips curved into a slow, knowing smile.
"That depends."
Vanya chuckled softly, her laughter like a melody. She placed her hand on his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat beneath her touch.
"Aaryaant… Tonight isn’t just about tradition. It’s about us."
His grip on her hand tightened just slightly, his other hand rising to cup her face. "And we have forever, Vanya. Tonight is just the beginning."
The warmth of his words, the depth in his gaze, sent a shiver down her spine. And as the night unfolded—filled with whispered promises, stolen kisses, and the unbreakable bond of love
And she knew she had found her home in him.
Next morning– A New beginning!
The soft golden rays of the morning sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Aaryaant’s massive room, casting a warm glow over the luxurious space. The air was laced with the faint scent of roses and vanilla from the remnants of the night before. The silk sheets, now slightly disheveled, held the whispers of moments shared in the moonlight.
Vanya stirred, her long lashes fluttering open as she felt the warmth of the morning against her skin. The first thing she noticed was the weight on her chest as Aaryaant carelessly slept on her with his arms draped possessively around her waist.
A soft blush crept onto her cheeks as memories of the night flooded back. She turned her head slightly, her black eyes meeting the sight of her husband—still asleep, his face relaxed, making him look less like the ruthless trillionaire the world knew, and more like the man who had held her with infinite tenderness last night.
"Where do you think you're going Mrs.AKD?" Aaryaant, sensing movement, let out a low hum before pulling her closer. His voice was husky, laced with sleep, yet undeniably teasing.
Vanya bit her lip, her heart fluttering at the way he said her new name. “I was just—”
Before she could complete her sentence, he flipped her onto her back, hovering over her with a smirk. “You were just…?” His intense gaze locked onto hers, making her breath hitch.
She swallowed, trying to keep her composure.
“Just… admiring how peaceful you look in your sleep,” she admitted, a mischievous glint in her eyes.Aaryaant chuckled, his fingers tracing the curve of her cheek.
“And now I’m awake. What do you suggest we do about that?”Vanya gasped, playfully pushing him away.
“We have a reception today, remember?” He sighed dramatically, rolling onto his back.
“Right. The grand celebration. The world will be watching.”
She turned on her side, resting her head on her hand.
“They should. After all, they need to know that, The Aaryaant Dandwani is no longer a bachelor!”
Aaryaant grinned, pulling her against his chest.
“Oh, trust me, love. After last night, there’s no way you’re escaping me. Ever.”
Vanya laughed, her heart swelling with love. And as they lay there, wrapped in each other’s warmth, they both knew—this was just the beginning of a lifetime together.
It was the time of reception.Since Aaryaant and Vanya are trillionaires, their reception was nothing short of a royal fantasy—a blend of elegance, luxury, and heartwarming moments.
As the evening begins, the guests arrive at a breathtaking venue—a palace-like structure adorned with thousands of twinkling lights, cascading floral arrangements, and crystal chandeliers. A red-carpet entrance, lined with violinists playing soft melodies, leads them to the grand ballroom, where an enchanted theme awaits.
The lights dim, and a golden spotlight falls on the massive entrance doors. Suddenly, a soft drizzle of golden petals begins to descend from the ceiling, as a voiceover narrates their fairytale love story.
The doors open, revealing Aaryaant and Vanya in a mesmerizing silhouette against a backdrop of fireworks. Vanya, glowing in a breathtaking gold and black handcrafted lehenga, adorned with rare gems, walks hand-in-hand with Aaryaant, who looks regal in an intricately embroidered black sherwani. The couple walks down a mirrored aisle reflecting the shimmering chandeliers above.
The Surprise First Dance
As they reach the grand stage, the music changes—an orchestra begins playing, and Aaryaant, ever the gentleman, extends his hand to Vanya. They glide into a beautifully choreographed waltz, mesmerizing everyone with their chemistry. Midway through, a magical snowfall effect adds an ethereal touch to the moment.
As their dance ends, their closest family members raise a toast. The ceiling transforms into a virtual starry sky, narrating their journey together.
A gourmet dinner, featuring exotic sindhi dishes and dishes from around the world.
An exclusive concert by a famous international artist.
A surprise performance by their friends and family, celebrating their love.
A spectacular midnight drone and fireworks show illuminating the night sky with their initials.
As the guests bask in the grandeur of the reception, an unexpected yet magical moment unfolds. One that no one saw that coming but feels like destiny itself.
The night, already enchanting with the celestial lights and joyous atmosphere. Ariv stealing everyone's attention, his expressions were a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"Tonight is a celebration of love, of two souls uniting forever. But I believe there's another story awaiting to be written, another journey that deserves to begin right here in this magical moment!" He said. His eyes never for once left the sight of Vartika.
The crowd watches in anticipation as the spotlight shifts to Vartika, wearing an ivory and gold lehenga with diamond studs shimmering as the spotlight focuses on her standing in the centre of the ballroom, unaware of what's about to happen.
The music changes, soft romantic notes filled the air as Ariv, complemented her outfit as he wore an ivory and cream double breasted tuxedo walked towards Vartika, his gaze locked onto hers. The family exchanged a knowing smile as he kneels before her, holding a diamond ring shimmering under the glow of chandeliers.
"Ika! Four years ago, the first time I met you, I never knew my life would never be the same. You're my greatest joy, the reason for my breathing, my happiness, an undetachable part of me. The woman, I never want to spend a day without.! I love you deep. Endless. And strong" He expressed his bubbling emotions.
"And today as we celebrate love, I want to ask you– will you make me the happiest man alive? Will you be mine? Will you be the woman I cherish my whole life? He finally proposed to her!
She glanced at her elder sister, seeking permission as a token of respect towards her elders. Vanya nodded slightly at her with a smile.
Without saying anything, Vartika forwarded her hand to him silently accepting his love. He slips the ring onto her finger and the guests burst into applause. The grand fireworks display lights up the sky, marking not just the union of Aaryaant and Vanya but also the promise of another love story in the making.
Their happily ever after
The End
