Raj's POVWhat was going on in her mind?Well, at least, She didn't look upset.Everyone greeted each other. Though my dad originally had a group of five friends, Dad was closest to Mehul uncle.Ron touched their feet and greeted Mahi with a smile but Mahi ignored him and smiled at me and the others. It was a bit weird.Roohi and Ruhan went to meet Mihir and Mahi.I saw Mihir and Ron glaring at each other. Ron thinks that Mihir and Roohi share something more than friendship. So he is always very alert around him. Though Manik assured me that they were just friends, very good friends. Ron and Mihir have always had this explosive relationship between them.Well, I went to Uncle and Aunty and touched their feet as they had come specially to meet me and my wife. Mom signaled Myra to come too. She also came and touched their feet.Aunty looked a bit embarrassed but she hugged Myra. Then Mehul uncle said, " I am sorry for whatever happened, but I hope, whatever has been done will not spoil
Raj's POV" Have you seen my room?? How will you change it if you don't know what you have to change? Come, I will take you to my room. " Ron said with a smile." Send the pictures of your room to Mom, there is no need for her to see your room. " Mihir said as he was following me, he glared at Ron.But just then his phone rang and both he and Roohi shared a look and excused themselves.What was that look?? Something is going on..." That's not the way, to do the interiors of a room, I guess, I have to request Megha Aunty to do my room, since her new assistant doesn't seem to do her work properly. I want my room to be done by some professional. " Ron said as he was still in conversation with Mahi. " For your kind information, I am absolutely qualified to do my work. Mihir Bhai doesn't know it being a doctor, so he suggested that. I may think of doing your room too if I feel like it. Because I am keener to do work with people who know the worth of my time and talents. Not useless playb
Raj's POVOpening the door, I went in and saw that she was not there.But her phone started to ring, I just looked at the screen and was shocked to see that it was Manik.Why was he calling her now??I thought of picking up the call as she was not around. But somehow it seemed unethical so I let it ring.But when he called again, I could not control myself and picked up the call but it stopped ringing before I could say anything. I checked whom had she called earlier when she was crying.I was not too surprised to see that she had called Manik.What is going on between them??Why did she call him while she was crying so badly??Is she missing him all of a sudden after she met Shahs today?And why did Manik call her back?? Doesn't he know that she is married to me now?? Is he missing her too as now even Roshni is not with him??I felt a burning kind of sensation.And I rushed out of the room and then my home.Though I had postponed the meeting for the next day as I had to go to the p
Myra's POVWe reached home, he didn't say a single word during the drive.What happened to him??" Myra, please go to our room, I need to talk to Ron. " Raj said.I wanted to know what is going on between them but didn't want to offend Raj so went to our room.Raj's POVTwo hours ago...I didn't want to go anywhere with Myra, so, to avoid any phone calls, I made sure that my phone was out of reach and went for a drive as I was upset that she still loved Manik.Though she looked normal for the last few days, she cried today when Shahs came to our place. She looked shocked when Aunty said that Manik's parents took Roshni to the USA with them.Was she thinking that now that Roshni has gone, maybe...No, she is not like that.But then why did she cry after calling his number??It was almost 9 at night, I knew that I must go to her friends' party. But I didn't feel like doing it. I opened my phone and saw 23 missed callsShit!! I must go. I had promised, so finally, I drove to our home a
Raj's POV" Why did you agree to marry me?? Did Viren, Sia Chachi, or your parents force our alliance on you when it was proposed earlier? " I said with my back turned to her." No Raj, no one forced anything on me they suggested I meet a guy without telling his name. I could not tell about Manik to anyone till I was sure that he was the one I wanted to spend my whole life with. But When I came to know it was you, I wanted to meet you as I have always liked you." She said.Liar!! She never showed interest in me. I have been watching her forever." Please don't lie now. You are saying that now because Manik is not available to marry you. Don't worry, as it is, we are already married now. So there is no use in saying all that. " I said rudely." Raj, please don't say that... can I please have that old sweet Raj back. The one who cared for me... " She said and I could feel that her voice trembled a bit." Sorry, he is lost forever, even I am looking for that innocent man who was so
Raj's POVOh, God!! What kind of an explanation was it?? And what shall I say about her reasons to kiss him...I was going crazy listening to reasons.Crazy girl." So how was it?? " I asked." What? "" The kiss you gave him? " I asked with difficulty.She looked at me and shook her head instantly." It was just a long peck. Nothing like the kiss we shared. " She replied.Thank God!! I wanted to kill him at that time and then she said she kissed him, and my heart shattered." So how did you feel? " Another difficult question." I didn't feel anything at all. " She said immediately.Thank God!!!Though I was still hurt the pain was reduced drastically." Then why did you say to Viren that you wanted to get married to him if you had already planned to break up with him?? " I asked. " I never said that I wanted to get married to him, Viren assumed it on his own. You can ask him right now. I just said that he didn't kiss me, I kissed him and he was my boyfriend. But then you saw, how
Myra's POV" Mom... What are his favorite dishes? " I asked." Your dad's?? " She asked. I shook my head. Sia Aunty laughed and I realized that Mom was teasing me." Mom!! No, I mean, Raj. " I said trying not to blush." Awww... Do you want to know about him? " Mom said." Priya, stop it. Tell her, she wants to know everything about him and try new things for him. We all did that. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach... But you don't need to worry, he already likes you. " Sia Aunty teased me as well. I felt very good to hear that.Mom told me all his favorite dishes and other favorites, I made a mental note of it.Breakfast was served and everyone came to have breakfast except for Ron." Where is Ron? " Dad asked." He has already gone to the showroom at the mall and has been putting up lots of effort there,"Mom said." Wow!! Don't you think, he is changing a bit? Being more responsible day by day. " Dad said and Mom nodded. She got some breakfast packed for Ron and asked
Myra's POV" You are very sweet... My son is lucky to have such a cute and pretty wife. "But he doesn't think like that... He doesn't want me. I am just a responsibility for him which he has to bear." See even this is done, now we will add the dry fruits which we roasted in the ghee earlier and when it cools down a bit we will add powdered sugar and bind them in the form of laddoos. " She said and I nodded.I wanted to try that too, but my hands were burnt. Once she mixed everything, she took out some of it and placed it in the temple of our home and then gave me some of it to taste.I tasted it and was shocked that anything that I had helped in making was so good in taste, it was out of the world." Wow!!! Mom, you are awesome! I had spoilt it, but you saved it, you are amazing. " I said." No beta, you and I saved it. Actually, everything can be alright if we save it in time. You must have heard, a stitch in time saves nine. " she said.If it is true, I want to save my relatio
Mahi's POV. I went to one of my bags to take out a nightwear but he pulled me to the pile of gifts. I looked at him with surprise and he gave me a beautifully wrapped gift, taking it out of the gift bags, I took it and he asked me to open it. " What is all this? " " Gifts!!" He smiled. " So many?? Why?? " " Because we are getting married all of a sudden and you could not go shopping as much as needed. So I went shopping for my beautiful bride. I got what I liked. You can get whatever else you want. " He said. " You didn't have to buy all those things. " I said with a smile. " I had to... You are my bride now, I have a right to do that." He said and gave me a short but hot toe-curling kiss. Once he broke it, he asked me to open the gift he gave me. I opened it and it was very beautiful red silk and lace nightwear. " Wow!! It's beautiful, but where is the lower part of it?? " I asked and he smiled and raised an eyebrow. " What?? " I asked. " There is no other part with this.
Ron's POV " Swear with your hand on my head that you would not back out when I tell you what I want," Roohi said placing my hand on her head. What? I was shocked to see her like that. She has never behaved in such a dramatic way in her whole life. Why was she asking me to swear on her head? " Why are you talking like that Roohi?" Ruhan asked as even he felt that her request was quite weird. " Ron, Bhai?? Are you ready to swear that you will get what I want?? " " Well, you are our princess, and I will give you anything you want, why do you think that I would not give you what you want??" I asked. " Roohi?? What are you doing? Bhai, you don't have to swear on it. Roohi, You should have some faith in him." Ruhan said. " Shut up, Ruhan!! I am not asking you to do it. I want Ron Bhai to swear that he would give me what I want. I don't want him to back out later on and refuse to give me my gift. " Roohi said firmly. " Roohi, sweetie, why do you think that I would back out? I would e
Ron's POVMahi and Mehul uncle became very emotional and he hugged her tightly. It was evident that he wanted to keep her at his home like every father. " Why did you have to grow up so soon?? Now tell your Ron to let you stay here, he can also stay here. " He said but before we could think of something, Gautam uncle cleared his throat. " Yes, it is a good tradition, you start it, I will follow it. I will also not send my daughter to your home. Even Mihir can stay at our home with us. " He said with a smile. We all smiled. " C'mon Mehul, don't be so sentimental. She is just going to live at Rahul's place. It is not so far off. You can meet her anytime. " Vikram uncle said. " I will ask you when your daughter, Vidya gets married. " Mehul uncle said." I would not mind if we get her married within this group. We know everyone in this group, it is a safe haven for our daughters. " He said. " Mehul, don't worry, your daughter is still your daughter but we get to share her as our daug
Mahi's POVAfter exchanging the garlands, we all proceeded to the wedding mandap.It was decorated with flowers, drapes of sheer cloth material, and lights. The pandit ji offered a small bowl of water to Ron, he had to drink. He sprinkled some of it on his feet and drank the rest. Then Pandit Ji offered a special concoction made with curd, honey, milk, ghee, and other sacred essences. ( This is known as the Panchamrit ) we had to take a sip of that drink before the wedding rituals commenced.We sat down and after a few mantras, my parents were called for the Kanyadaan (An old Vedic ritual, in which the bride is given away by his parents to the groom. He requests the groom to take good care of his daughter and the groom accepts the bride’s hand and promises her father that he will treat her with utmost love and respect throughout his life.)The wedding havan was lit which is the sacred fire.

Mahi's POVMehendi Ceremony:I locked my door as soon as he went out and I rushed to take a bath. Though he was not in my room or bathroom now, I could not forget what he was doing here just a few minutes back. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my face was a bsolutely red. Somehow, I was flushed, but I took a quick shower and got ready wearing a light green pista-colored lehenga I was brushing my hair when I heard a knock. If this is Ron, knocking on the door, I am not going to talk to him. I opened the door and was relieved to see that it was my mom. " Are you ready for the Mehandi, beta? She asked the moment she entered the room. And then smiled to see that I was ready. " Mehendi is an indispensable part of an Indian wedding ceremony." She hugged me saying it and took me outside where the ceremony was to be held. The Mehandi artists were waiting, under a canopy adorned with marigolds and jasmine, they made me sit down there, but first of all, Priya Aunty applied a
Mahi's POVHe rubbed his face on mine and my neck. " Stop it, Ron!! " I said. " I will once the ceremony is over. " He replied" What else is to be done?? " I asked. " They told you to take a bath... " He smiled and winked." So?? " " So... I will help you with it. I also need a bath after you applied haldi on me " He said and my face became red all of a sudden. " Get lost!! I don't need your help. Go to your place and take a bath. " I said and he made a face and pulled me into the washroom. " Why waste time going there? We can take a bath here. "" We will take a bath, but separately !! " I said." Please don't waste time, or we will get late for mehadi. They are waiting for us. We won't be late if we help each other as all this turmeric paste, oil, and curd is so sticky. Please help me to take it out and I will help you." " I don't need your help. " I said with difficulty. " But I need it and I will return the favor. " He insisted. " No !! " I refused to dance to his tunes.
The next 3 days passed faster than they should for others as there were so many errands to run, and so many arrangements to be made. All of them were rushing to markets for shopping. Ruhan and Roohi wanted more days as they wanted to shop the entire city as they didn't get to shop for Raj's wedding. Megha, Priya, and Sia were extremely busy in the preparation for the wedding ceremony. Megha and Sia had to prepare for the reception of both the newlywed couples as well. Megha sent their team to Kapoor Mansion to do Ron and Mahi's room Mahi had selected everything by consulting Ron over the phone or video chats. Raj and Myra's room was already ready. Ron had to shift to the guest room as work was being done in his room for almost 18 to 24 hours. Ron tried every trick in the book to try to meet Mahi in the last three days, but...

Ron's POV " Your room will be ready before that, Megha will do it, will consult you and her. But you are not meeting her before the wedding. Now go back home before, I call your parents and tell them to get you from here. " Uncle said firmly. " Uncle... " " Don't call me uncle!! " " Sir... " " What?? You idiot, Don't call me sir! " " What do I call you? " " Dad!! Call me dad. " He said. " Okay, but then that means that I can stay here as this is my dad's home. Right? " I said with a smile. Aunty, Manik, and Mahi smiled. " Wrong!! " Uncle said. " But if I am getting married to Mahi, it is going to be my home too. I can stay at my home right?? " I said trying my luck once again. Aunty grinned and Uncle tried not to smile... and succeed. " Go to your home!! You will be our son once our daughter will get married to you. You can stay here after that. Now leave before I change my decision about you both getting married in a week. I will change it to one year. " He said. " WHAT??
Ron's POV They came between us, Manik was pulling me aside and Mihir was trying to get him away and check his nose which had started to bleed. " I will kill him!!! Get out of my way, Manik." I said, pushing Manik as I had to teach a lesson to that Daanav. " What happened? Why are you behaving like this? " Manik almost shouted, I pushed him and charged at Aarav again but Mihir came between. " Ron, back off! What happened? " Mihir asked trying to stop me till then Manik also joined him. " Ask him! What was he doing!" I shouted back. They both looked at him. " What the hell is going on??" we heard a heavy voice, her parents also came out. "Ron?? What are you doing here at this time?

Uncle was looking very weak and tense he was looking at me with questions. " He was misbehaving with Mahi. He...he was trying to force himself upon her. " I clarified Daa
