After the Jaimala, the photo session started. After about three hours they were taken for the private shoot since it was Ditya's fast and Aadrik too didn't want to eat anything.
Aadrik was then taken to the mandap while Ditya took rest for a while.
She was called half an hour later and was made to sit beside Aadrik.
Arohi did their Gathbandhan and the priest started chanting the mantras.
Ditya's parents were called forward for the Kanyadan.
After that they were asked to get up for the Pheras.
After the Pheras, Ditya was made to sit on Aadrik's left side.
Aadrik made her wear the Mangalsutra and did the Sindurdan. He smiled seeing the little pinch of sindur on her nose.
She was finally his. His wife. Ditya Aadrik Sharma.
The priest declared the wedding complete and the couple got up to take the elder's blessings.
They then sat down for the Chhand Sunai ritual.
After that was the Juta Chhupai Nek. Ditya was pouting as Aadrik smirked because her brother wasn't able to get his shoes.
Then was the Bidaai. Ditya threw the raw rice in her mother's pallu backwards seven times.
She hugged her father and sobbed in his arms like a baby that she was. She hugged her mother.
Ivaan was standing at a little distance. Kiara was full on crying. The two cried in each other's arms. Ditya stood in front of Ivaan and looked at him teary eyed. He pulled her in his arms and cried hugging her tight.
He held her and started walking towards the car. He looked at Aadrik and whispered.
"Dhyaan rakhna please."
(Take care please.)
Aadrik gave him a tight brotherly hug and assured him. They sat in the car and drove off.
Aadrik pulled Ditya closer and she sniffled and slowly slept.
They reached home and his siblings ran inside shouting 'Bahu aa gyi'.
Aadrik helped a sleepy Ditya out of the car and held her carefully. She looked at him groggily and smiled slightly making his heart swell with love for his sweet and innocent baby wife.
They were stopped at the gate for the Bar Rukai ritual.
Going inside they were taken to do another ritual where Aadrik was supposed to slide the plates aside using neem stick and Ditya was supposed to pick it up without making much noise.
She then sat for a puja following which she opened her fast by eating Moong Rice. Aadrik too had his food.
Dhriti took Ditya to her room to sleep.
**************************************
The next day everyone woke up late since there was no special ritual.
It was Ditya's Pehli Rasoi so she made Besan ka Halwa for everyone.
Aadrik was trying to get a moment alone with her but seemed like his mother knew his intentions very well because she did not leave Ditya alone for even a moment.
**************************************
The next day Aadrik and Ditya were ready in their wedding attires.
They went to the temple for the Seth Bhaiya ritual where they played with neem sticks.
Then they came back home for the rest of the rituals.
The Majgad ritual was done by Anay.
Then they did some fun rituals like Jua Khelna, Muthhi Khulai and Kangana Khulai.
After that Ditya changed into a simple saree. Aadrik was smitten seeing her in a saree for the first time. She saw him looking at her open mouthed and without blinking.
She lowered her eyes and blushed slightly.
Her Sir Guthhi ritual was done. Ivaan was there by afternoon to take her home for the Pag Phera ritual.
They had their lunch and left for home. Ditya reached home and immediately engulfed in hugs by everyone.
They sat for some time gossiping and then her Pag Phera ritual was done.
Ditya went to change when she received Aadrik's message that they would be there in some time.
Aadrik reached her home to take her back. He was looking around waiting to see her when she came out of her room wearing a beautiful red bridal saree.
And damn! How Aadrik wished that they were alone right now because he wanted to tell her how beautiful she looked.
They had their dinner and left shortly after.
Aadrik was driving while Ditya sat on the passenger seat. He held her hand and intertwined their fingers.
She looked at him and smiled. They reached home and were again stopped at the gate for the Bar Rukai.
They were welcomed in after their aarti. Ditya was taken to Aadrik's room. She saw the room decorated beautifully with flowers and candles.
She was made to sit on the center of the bed with a veil over her head.
She was waiting for Aadrik. She heard the door open and being shut and clutched her saree unconsciously.
He smiled seeing her sitting in their room, on their bed, as his wife.
He sat in front of her and removed the veil from her head.
She looked at him and he smiled making her smile too.
He leaned in and kissed her head making her close her eyes at the feeling.
"I love you."
He mumbled and she smiled.
"I love you too."
She whispered and he joined his forehead with hers.
He slowly leaned in and took her lips in a slow and sweet kiss. He pulled her near slightly and took her lower lip in his mouth and sucked on it making her moan lightly.
A cramp hit her and she remembered something. She pulled back and looked at him panting.
"Aadrik! We can't."
He frowned and asked breathing heavily.
"Kya hua?"
(What happened?)
"I got my period today."
She said and he looked at her for a second and then kept his forehead on hers sighing loudly.
He kissed her head and said.
"Its ok. Pehle bata deti. You should have changed into something comfortable."
(You could have said before.)
He said and asked her to get up. He helped her removed the jewellery and hairpins. She took her clothes and went to change.
She came out and saw the bed all cleaned and he was sitting waiting for her.
He called her forward and asked her lay down. He gave her a heating pad and kissed her head.
"Sleep!"
He said and laid down beside her. She cuddled into him. She loved this man so much. He had never made her feel uncomfortable ever. Her comfort has always been his priority.
