The next was the engagement and everyone woke up early. Everyone was busy in getting their works done. 

Meher's beauticians came at 2 pm and she was ready by 6.

The photographer was doing her photoshoot when she was called down. 

Vihaan's Tika ceremony was done and he was made to sit on a sofa in front of the stage.

Meher was made to sit on the center of the stage and the ladies of Singhania family surrounded her for her Godh ceremony.

After that she was made to sit beside her Vihaan who held her hand as she sat making her lower her head.

The stage was cleared for the dance function.

Meher performed a special dance for her parents which left them emotional and then she performed for Vihaan and he too joined at the end and they ended the performance together.

Samaira bought the rings and the ring ceremony was done.

The photo session started and after about two hours they were finally taken to the dinner table. 

Both of them were very tired. 

Everyone had their dinner and retired to their rooms. Meher slept as soon as her head hit the pillow while Vihaan Kept admiring his ring and kept thinking about her.

Soon he too slipped into slumber with her thoughts.

The next day was the Haldi ceremony.

Meher was getting ready. Her cousin was ready and she left room to check when she was to take Meher downstairs.

Just as her cousin left the door of her room opened and Vihaan entered inside carefully.

He locked the door and Meher's eyes widened seeing him.

"Aap yaha kya kar rhe hai?"

(What are you doing here?)

He pulled her in his arms and said.

"Aaj Haldi hai. Iske baad toh kisi ne tumhara chehra bhi dekhne nhi dena."

(Today is Haldi. After this no one would let me see even your face.)

"Koi aa jaayega Vihaan. Jaaiye yaha se."

(Someone will come Vihaan. Go from here.)

He shook his head and hugged her.

"Tumhe haldi toh nhi laga skta lekin apna rang toh chada skta hu na."

(I can't apply Haldi on you but i can put my colour on you.)

He said mischievously.

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead softly making her smile. He then kissed both of eyes one by one.

He pecked her nose and she giggled making him smile. He kissed her cheeks one by one and her breath hitched slightly. He pulled back and they looked into each other's eyes.

He leaned in and she closed her eyes as she welcomed his lips on hers. He kissed her softly and slowly.

He nibbled on her lower lip and chewed on it lightly. He pulled her closer by holding her bare waist and she gasped. He took the opportunity to enter his tongue in her mouth and she moaned.

Their tongues fought for dominance and he tilted her head more for better access.

They pulled back for their breaths and joined their foreheads panting heavily. He was about to kiss her again but they heard a knock on the door and Meher's eyes widened hearing her cousin's voice.

"5 minute."

Vihaan whispered and she nodded.

"5 minute Nishu. Change kr rhi hu."

(I am changing.)

She told her cousin who shouted an ok and they the footsteps going away.

Vihaan gave a last peck on her lips and started leaving the room winking at her while she blushed looking away.

He peeked out of her room and quickly ran when he saw the passage empty.

Meher and Vihaan were called down in the halls where their haldi was organised. 

First was the Tel Chadana ritual which took about an hour and then was the Haldi ritual by the end of which both Meher and Vihaan were covered in yellow paste.

They were sent to their respective rooms to take bath and change and were then called down again for a short puja where holy threads were tied to their wrists and ankles.

The rest of the day was free so everyone gathered in the halls they were given and both the families played games and had fun.

Everyone retired to their rooms at around midnight.

**************************************

The next day was the Mehandi ceremony. After having breakfast Meher sat down to get her mehandi done. Mehandi was organised in a common hall and Vihaan and Meher were seated in opposite corners. Vihaan was trying hard just to get one glimpse of her but in vain.

By lunch her legs and front hands were done. Vihaan tried going to her in pretext of getting his lunch Ahana flopped his plan saying that she would get his plate for him.

He sat making faces and grumbling at everyone for letting him see her.

By evening her mehandi was done and almost dry. The dholwalas were here and people were dancing and enjoying.

She saw Vihaan's siblings pull him along and they started dancing. After about an hour of dancing they were tired and took break.

Meher's eyes glistened with tears when she saw her father coming up and dancing with her mother. He pulled her along and she danced with him while hugging him close.

The moment was so beautiful and emotional that everyone had tears in their eyes seeing Ajay dancing and walking on his own.

The dance again started and everyone danced till midnight.

They had their dinner and retired to their rooms.

Meher changed her clothes and went to her parents' room.

The three of them sat with Meher in between them and her head on her father's shoulder and they talked for some time.

That night she slept between her parents one last time just like she did when she was a kid.

**************************************
