Third person's POV " I am already married to a girl," Manik replied. " Enough!! What nonsense are you talking about? " Viraj Sahni asked. " Yes, I got married yesterday. " Manik said looking into Viraj's eyes. " Stop kidding, none of us is enjoying it. It is not at all funny, Manik." Mehul said glaring at Manik. " I am not kidding, I really got married yesterday. So if I am already married, I can't marry anyone else now. " Manik said. " Is it?? Ok, Tell me whom did you got married to? Where is your wife?" Viren asked with a smirk. " She is right here. I married Roshni yesterday. And Mihir and Shaurya were there as witnesses. " Manik replied. " It is the reality, he had to marry her to save her as well as his own life. They had to marry to get out of that place as they were checking everyone except for the brides. " Shaurya said. " What the hell are you talking about, Shaurya?? Did you help them in getting married? If he is your friend, so am I. Did you not think of my s
Myra's POV Previous night " Wow awesome stuff, Myra. I must say everything is beautiful, Manik's family is very excited to have you in their family. Hey, please introduce me to his younger brother. " Reema said. " He is already in love with someone else. " I replied. " Oh, bad luck... By the way, did you get any news about Manik?" She asked." Not till now. " " What? This is really something weird... You both are supposed to be getting married tomorrow and he is not even reachable? " She said adding fuel to my simmering anger. "Yes, but he is a very responsible man. Let it be. What will you have?" I tried to brush off that conversation. " Let it be?? How can you let it be?? I am sorry, but don't you think that he has some responsibility towards you as well? It's your wedding tomorrow and your groom is not even in the city. How can he do that? I hope he comes on time for the wedding. But seriously, I don't know, how can you be so cool about it? " She said. " Reema, please lea
Myra's POVAll my cousins were still teasing me. But I don't know why, I was not enjoying the teasing much.I have been very close to Saanjh, Sahaj, and Sujal, as we all had grown up together their dad and my dad were first cousins. I had the same relationship with Roohi and Ruhan.Something was bothering me somewhere. Actually many things have been bothering me. But I didn't know whom to talk to.Even Ruhan and Roohi were just smiling but it seemed a bit forced as they were not very happy with this marriage and were not talking to me like their elder brothers (a first cousin on the paternal side), especially Raj.Raj hasn't talked to me since that night when we were in Surat. He was shocked to know that I kissed Manik. Though I tried talking to Raj many times to explain myself, he blocked my number and me on all the social networking sites. It was hurting me a lot as I really liked being with him." Myra, are you even listening?? " Mohak asked. Hitting me with his elbow lightly." N
Myra's POV" Myra, tell me were you really in love with Manik or you liked Raj?? " Viren said holding my shoulders.There was no point in lying, he is my brother and is worried about me." I really don't know, but I am not sad that my wedding got canceled. In fact, I am sorry to say that I am a bit relieved. Lately, I have been thinking that maybe we should not have been engaged. But it is very humiliating to be jilted at the altar like that. " I said." You are saying that you are not in love with Manik? " Viren asked with a shocked expression." Y.yes! " I said hesitantly." And you were wishing that you were not engaged to him?" Sujal asked." Kind of. " I accepted looking at the floor." Do you like Raj?? " Ron asked.I was still thinking about what to answer when my parents and Sujoy chachu and Mohit mamu walked in along with the Shah family. Shahs' looked apologetic and my family was angry and tensed." Mom... Dad?? " I said looking at them." Beta, you come with me... " Sr
Myra's POVRaj bent a bit and his nose brushed my ear and lips brushed my cheek.I was surprised at the slight shiver that traveled through my body. Why the merest touch of him was leaving me sensuously affected?After the dance was over, I excused myself and went out to find Manik as he had asked me to be with him. I was worried that he might have seen me dancing with Raj and got jealous.I went out and saw that he had gone to rescue some girl. That was good, but what bothered me was that he was not there with me when the new year started.Was it some sign that I was with Raj instead and somehow liked spending time with him?I only realized that it was time to walk into a new year when they started the countdown.Maybe I imagined it, but I felt that Raj was smiling with mischief. Or was he really doing it, but why?Anyway, I got the answer the next day in the morning when Sia aunty introduced Raj as a prospective eligible bachelor for me.Everyone in our families looked very happy b
Rajveer's POV" Raj don't push yourself so hard. It has been more than two hours since you have been working out in the gym. Enough!! You will get fatigued. " The instructor said." Don't worry!! Just leave me alone. " I replied" Stop it! What happened to you?? "" Nothing!!! Now please leave me alone, I need to do something... To keep me busy. "" You are hurting yourself. "" No!! I am fine... I just want to spend all my energy so that I can sleep tonight. "" Is it about some girl? " He asked." Will you please leave me alone?"" I will call, Ron!! You don't seem to be yourself. He will come and stop you."" No!! I don't want him here. I would punch you if you would inform him that I am here. "" Ok, fine!! But you need to stop. " He said." Yeah. I will in a few minutes. "" Just 10 minutes... Or I am calling Ron. " He said but I kept working out.I don't want Ron to come here and see me like this. He would go crazy and do something out of the box.We have always shared everythi
Rajveer's POV" What will you do?? " I asked him." I will marry Myra. " " WHAT?? " I said but he kept walking away." Stop!! Ron!! What did you just say?? "" I said that I am going to get married to her. "Has he lost it?" What? Why? " I rushed to him and held his arm." Because our parents and Chachi have promised Viren's dad, that you would get married to her. " He said and I was shocked." What the hell!! Why??"" Because only a few hours are left for the wedding and half of the city has been invited to the wedding. All her family members are going mad. They are so affected that something might happen to someone. Only I know how Shaurya, Shlok, and I managed to get Viren and Sujal out of Manik's home. So dad offered that if you are ok with it, they can get both of you married to save their faces in front of the whole society and the media. " He explained." But why? Why me? " I asked out of frustration." Because you wanted to get married to her. " He replied." Wanted t
Rajveer's POVI didn't want to think about all this but eventually, I went down memory lane.Past time...I knew Myra for the last 20 years since we became friends with Sujal and Viren. She was very cute and pretty from the very beginning and I always liked her but never said anything about it to anyone as she was Viren's sister and I didn't want to offend any of them.Slowly she started getting even more beautiful with time. I really liked her and was mesmerized by her beauty.But the problem was that she also knew that she was very pretty and those silly boys around her made her more than aware of the fact. She was seen flirting with a few guys and I felt bad about it. I liked her but could not afford to lose the friendship of Viren and Sujal so I turned my back on that issue.About a few months back, my family thought that since we had completed our education and joined our family businesses, we should get married as well.Ron refused firmly that he had no wish to get married for a
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. ( In Hindu custom, the fire deity is the foremost witness of a wedding.) A plate was handed o
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... His FIL made it impossible for him The wedding of Ron and Mahi was a beautiful union of Punjabi and Gujarati cultures, bringing together diverse traditions and
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? " Amidst the confusion, Mahi's parents emerged, seeking an explanation." Ron, beta what happened? " Aunty asked. Coming towards us. 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
