The next few months went by quick. Bhavna had given birth to a baby girl and they named her 'Arohi'. Sahil had proposed to Pranati for marriage and Rashi was pregnant with her first child.
Today is Sahil and Pranati's engagement and the past months were super awkward for both Adarsh and Sakshi. The families were shopping together and Adarsh found himself in a weird situation because he didn't know how to face Sakshi's mother.
All the while both were giving awkward smiles to each other and Sakshi was in a fix between them. She couldn't understand whether to laugh at Adarsh's expressions or to cry at her mother's glares.
Once she even had a fight with her mother when she again asked her to maintain a distance from him. Sakshi had snapped at her saying that she was ready to get engaged to him if that was what her problem was but she was not going to stay away from him and hurt both of them again.
At first Shweta was very angry at her but when Rashi talked to her and assured her she relaxed a bit. She did not want her daughter to get hurt in the future.
Right now they were standing around the stage where Sahil and Pranati were making each other wear there rings. They looked so happy together. Sakshi's eyes involuntarily went to Adarsh and she found him already looking at her.
He mouthed an 'i love you' to her. She smiled and mouthed an 'i love you too' back. Both of them kept looking at each other.
They were looking at the couple getting their photoshoot done. The elders were already at the dinner table giving the kids some privacy. Adarsh looked at her who was looking at the couple with a soft smile on her face. Going near her he whispered near her ear.
He said with a smile and she smiled back at him. Only he knew how he controlled himself from taking her in his arms and kissing the living daylights out of her. She looked gorgeous in her lehanga.
Not being able to control himself he kissed her cheek making her eyes widen. She looked at him wide eyed and he grinned sheepishly. She looked around to see if anyone saw that and sighed in relief when she saw only her cousins around. She slapped his chest and moved away from there.
She looked at him still blushing like crazy and gave a flying kiss to her making her more red. Adarsh chuckled at her cuteness.
Sakshi was sharing a room with Pranati and Rashi whereas Adarsh was with Sahil and Vaibhav.
Vaibhav was sulking because he couldn't sleep without his wife and his wife wanted to sleep with her sisters making him stuck with his brothers. He looked at them distastefully as if it was their fault that his wife didn't want to sleep with him.
"Bhai bas kro yaar. Bachho ki tarah karte ho aap. Papa banne wale ho ab toh bade ho jaao."
(Bhai stop it yaar. You behave like kids. You are going to be a father grow up.)
Adarsh said when he saw Vaibhav sitting on the bed with a sulking face. Vaibhav glared at him and Adarsh zipped up his mouth.
"Jab tumhari baari aayegi na tab baat karenge."
(When it will be your turn then we will talk.)
Both Sahil and Adarsh laughed not knowing that it was indeed going to happen one day.
The next day was no ritual so everyone decided to gather in the common hall and they played Dumb Charades, Antakshari and a lot of other games together.
The next after that was Haldi. They were given two separate halls. By the end of the ritual Sahil and Pranati both were completely drenched in Haldi. They were then sent to take baths after which was a short puja.
The next day Mehandi ceremony was going on. It was a common hall. Sakshi was getting her mehandi done was Adarsh sat beside her. She widened her eyes and looked around for any trace of any of her elders but seemed like everyone was busy.
"Kya kar rhe hai? Koi dekh lega Adarsh. Mumma ne dekh lia na toh phir se-"
(What are you doing? What if someone sees. If mumma saw us then again-)
She was saying when he kept his fingers on her lips shutting her off. He looked at her lips and licked his own. Her breath hitched and her eyes moved down to his lips.
Clearing his throat he diverted his attention and said.
"Mera naam likhwaaogi apni mehandi mai?"
(Will you get my name written in your mehandi?)
"Dimag kharab nhi hai mera."
(Are you out of your mind.)
"Sirf initials hi sahi."
(Only initials.)
"Bilkul bhi nhi. Mumma ne agar dekh lia na toh phir se ghamasaan ho jaana hai."
(No way. If mumma saw then there would be another world war.)
He pouted but then nodded. She was right.
"Koi baat nhi. Aaj nhi toh hamari shaadi par toh lagwaani hi hai."
(No problem. If not today then on our wedding.)
Saying that he went from there while she kept looking at his direction. Did her heart just flutter at such a simple statement.
Maybe this was the effect he had on her. His simplest of statements makes her heart flutter with happiness, love and respect for this man.
Just the mention of him as her husband was enough to make her go red.
The next day was the wedding. Sakshi gor ready in a purple lehanga.
They went down for the Jaimala. Adarsh kept looking at her.
'How does she manage to take my breath away every single time?'
He wondered. Traditional definitely suited her real well. And on top of that her backless blouse wasn't helping his case either.
After the dinner Sahil was taken to the mandap and Pranati was called some time later. When the rituals were going on Rashi actioned Sakshi for the shoes. Nodding her head Sakshi looked around for the shoes.
Hiding them under her dupatta she went inside with Rashi and was helping her wear them only to be caught by Adarsh and Vaibhav. Both of them stood their with their hands folded in front of their chests and smirks on their faces.
Rashi raised his eyebrows at Vaibhav and asked in a sweet tone.
"Kuch kaam hai aapko?"
(You want something?)
Vaibhav's eyes widened as he realised that tone. Not wanting to sleep on the couch he turned to Adarsh.
"Tu sambhal mai jaa rha hu."
(You handle it i am going.)
And went from there. Adarsh shook and his head and muttered.
'Kisi kaam ke nhi hai. Biwi ne kuch bola nhi ki darr kar bhag gaye.' ************************************** I didn't want to repeat the whole wedding scene again.
