Dhriti had finally had mercy on Ivaan and let Kiara stay at their house. 

The whole month Ivaan had sneaked into her room after he was sure that his parents and Ditya were asleep.

They had talked non stop till she had fallen asleep. They got to know a lot of things about each other and have grown a lot more closer to each other.

Today was their engagement and they were already at the venue.

Kiara was getting ready. Dhriti had literally taken up the role of her mother. All the shagun from the bride side was sent by Dhriti and Utkarsh.

Kiara's photoshoot was going on when Dhriti entered and told her that it was time for her to go down.

Ivaan was sitting on a sofa in front of the stage and was waiting for his bride when he heard the music change.

Kiara was nervous because of so many eyes on her. She held Dhriti's hand tightly and walked towards the stage where the ladies from Ivaan's family surrounded her for the Godh ceremony.

After that she was made to sit with Ivaan who held her hand and intertwined their fingers.

The dance function started and Ivaan and Kiara performed last.

After that was the ring ceremony. Kiara made him wear the ring and Ivaan did the same. Both of them had wide smiles on their faces.

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

Both of them were tired but the happiness and glow could be seen on their faces clearly.

After dinner, everyone went to their rooms. Kiara and Ivaan kept looking at their rings and kept smiling and thinking about each other.

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

The next day was Haldi ceremony. Kiara and Ivaan were made to sit on stools adjacent to each other. 

First the Tel Chadana ritual was done and then was the Haldi.

After that they were sent into their rooms to take bath. They came down again for a puja where holy threads were tied on their wrists and ankles.

The rest of the day was free so everyone played games and enjoyed.

Kiara was sitting in her room at night and was admiring a particular picture that was clicked. 

Both of them were covered in Haldi. Kiara was looking at the camera and smiling while Ivaan was looking at her and smiling.

Kiara traced the picture softly. She couldn't even remember the last time she was this happy.

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

The next was Mehandi and Kiara and Ivaan were made to sit at the opposite corners. 

Kiara's mehandi was done by evening. The dj had also started. Kiara was sitting and drying her mehandi and smiling looking at Ivaan dancing with his family and cousins.

Ditya pulled Kiara on the floor and made her stand in front of Ivaan.

He had his back to her. He turned around to see her but she quickly turned around hiding her face. 

They danced with their backs to each other occasionally stealing glances at each other.

They danced almost till midnight and retired to their rooms after dinner.

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

The next day was the most awaited for everyone. Kiara was missing her mother a lot.

She was getting ready and was thinking about her.

'I wish aaj aap yaha hote mumma. Meri life ka itna important day hai. I miss you so much.'

She looked at herself in the mirror all dolled up for the day. She kissed the pendant her mother gave her with glassy eyes.

Her thoughts were broken when Dhriti entered the room. She smiled sadly as she saw Kiara's tears.

She kissed her head and hugged her and Kiara felt like she was in her mother's embrace.

"Bhut pyaari lag rhi hai. Chalo."

(You look very pretty. Come.)

Kiara nodded and they went down. Aadrik and Anay held the Phoolon ka Chadar over her head and they moved towards the stage.

Ivaan saw her walking towards him and he felt his heartbeat fastening. He smiled with tears in his eyes. The happiness and glow on her face made his heart swell with love for this girl.

He forwarded his hand for her and she gave her hand in his smiling softly.

Everyone gathered around for the Jaimala. Ditya got the varmalas. Kiara made him wear the varmala and he did the same.

The photo session started and after about three hours they were taken for another private photoshoot. Since, it was Kiara's fast and Ivaan didn't want to eat without her they decided to get free with the photos.

After that Ivaan was taken to the mandap while Kiara took rest for a while.

She was called after half an hour and was made to sit beside him. 

Ditya did their Gathbandhan and the priest started chanting the mantras.

Kiara's eyes filled with tears when the priest called forward her parents for the Kanyadan. 

Dhriti and Utkarsh did the ritual.

After that they got up for the Pheras. After the Pheras, Kiara was made to sit on Ivaan's left side.

Ivaan made her wear the Mangalsutra and did the Sindurdan. A little sindur fell on her nose and she looked at him with teary eyes.

She was finally his forever. She was Kiara Ivaan Shekhawat. He was right, she loved her new name more.

The priest announced the wedding complete and the couple got up to take everyone's blessings.

They sat for the Chhand Sunai ritual and after that was the Bidaai.

Kiara as a ritual threw raw rice seven times backward in Dhriti's pallu. 

They sat in the car and drove off. Kiara kept her head on his shoulder and mumbled.

"I miss mumma."

He kissed her head and whispered.

"I know."

He hugged her tightly. They reached home and were stopped at the gate for the Bar Rukai ritual.

After that they were taken inside and did another ritual where Ivaan slid the plates aside with a neem stick and Kiara picked them up without making much noise. 

After that Kiara sat for a puja and opened her fast by eating Moong Rice. Ivaan too had his dinner.

Kiara was then sent to her room. Ivaan was smirking thinking that he would sneak into her room at night but his plan was flopped when Tanvi ordered Ditya to sleep in Kiara's room for the night.

Ivaan made a grumpy face and went to his room making everyone laugh.
