Day 5

Third person's POV

The day started with a pure bliss for both of them. It was their haldi ceremony. Sana woke up, freshened up and got ready in the yellow colour knee length frock. Before going downstairs she decided to face time her husband. He picked up after 4-5 rings.

"You aren't up yet." She asked him completely shocked.

"Nah.. what's the time though?" He asked in his sleepy voice.

"Idiot it's almost 9 am." She said.

"Oh so not even 9 am. Girl I am not an early riser like you." He said and yawned.

"I will punch your face. Go get up and get ready for the function." She said.

"Which function?" He asked her.

"Haldi ceremony ofcourse. Don't say me that you forgot. I will kill you for real." She said.

"Indeed I forgot. But you reminded me. Thank you baby girl." He said sweetly.

"Whatever.. now go. Even I have to go downstairs. Bye bye." She said and kept the phone and descended downstairs.

The moment she reached downstairs everyone greeted her with a smile and she smiled back. Her family took her to the lawn and made her sit on a table covered with white cloth. Relatives, neighbours, friends everyone was indeed present. One by one everyone started applying haldi to her. Karan and Shreya entered, took blessings of her parents and greeted her.

"Omg bhabhi you are looking like a yellow bear. So cute." Shreya squealed and hugged her which in return made her sky blue colour frock turn yellow.

"Bhabhi your Mr. was still sleeping, so we came here early because waiting for a tortoise is not that irritating but waiting for him to wake up and come down is hell annoying." Karan said making faces.

"True true... I completely agree with you. Your brother is lazier than a tortoise." Sana said with equal annoyance.

"Kids come.. take this paste and apply on her face." Her mother said to Karan and Shreya.

Karan took a large amount and applied it on her face which made her look like a ghost. And Shreya applied some of the paste on her legs and hands as well as face. After applying haldi to her, both brother sister duo left for their house.

After some 30 minutes of drive they reached their place and rushed towards their brother's room. They found him doing something on his laptop and rushed towards him.

"Is that a necessity now?" Karan asked him.

"What do you mean?" Veer asked back still continuing his work on his laptop.

"Bhai it's your haldi ceremony and everyone is waiting for you but you are busy doing some nonsense." Shreya said annoyed at his behaviour.

"Sweety.. it's not nonsense. Some emergency is there that's why am stuck here. I will be coming down in 15-20 minutes. You both can go down." Veer said calmly.

"We aren't leaving until you come with us and mom will kill us if we don't bring you along with us because it's already too much late. At bhabhi's place the function must be over by now and here we haven't even started anything." Karan said.

"Alright as you wish. But I have to complete this anyhow that too now only. So if you want to stay then stay." Veer said typing something.

After almost 40 minutes his work was done and the trio went downstairs. The minute they went down they saw hustle bustle all around the house. His mother took him to the backyard and made him sit on a chair.

One by one everyone started applying haldi to him. All the cousins took huge amount of the paste and applied everywhere their hands could reach.

After everyone applied him the paste the cousins lifted him up and threw him in a large pool of cold water. After so many years they had a good time with each other.

In the evening it was mehndi ceremony at Sana's house. Sana wore the elegant long red frock for the ceremony. After getting ready completely she face timed Veer. After a ring or two he picked up and was stunned to see her.

"My goodness!! You are looking like a goddess." Veer exclaimed cheerfully.

"Thank you." She said and blush crept on her cheeks.

"Oh god you are blushing. You are looking so cute. I want to kiss you right now." Veer said happily.

"You need to wait for that. Just 2 days and I will be yours forever." She said.

"Yeah yeah. By the way did you click any photo of yours in this attire?" He inquired.

"Yeah.. Maya clicked my pictures just now and then she went downstairs." She said.

"Then send me those na.." He said.

"Alright. But I wanted to ask you something." She said.

"Go ahead." He replied.

"I... umm.. nevermind leave it. Some other day I will say that." She said.

"Aree tell na..." He said.

"Am getting late.. bye bye and I will send you the photos after the ceremony. Bye love you." She said.

"Love you too..." He said and gave a flying kiss and cut the call.

Sana after seeing one last look of herself in the mirror went downstairs with a bright smile on her face. The moment she went down everyone was gawking at her as if some princess has descended from her castle.

"Omg Sana... You're looking magnificent." Navya said and hugged her.

"Yes... No evil eyes should hamper you." Her mother said.

"Come we're getting late. Your mother in law and sister in law will reach in 5-10 minutes. Let's start the ceremony." Navya said and took her. She made her settle on a small stage.

After some 5 minutes her mother in law and Shreya came with a plate full of mehndi. Her mother in law handed over the plate to her mother and blessed her daughter in law with heart full of love and affection.

"My child.. may god keep every evil eye away from you and you receive all the happiness of the world. Be happy always." Jaya her mother in law said and kissed her forehead.

The ritual was completed successfully and after dinner everyone retired for the day after a busy schedule. Sana went to her room and changed into her casuals and settled down beside her friend.

"When is your duffer boyfriend coming here? Day after tomorrow is my wedding and that idiot is not here still." Sana said.

"Ahh.. baby girl that idiot will be here by day after tomorrow morning and don't worry he will surely come." Maya said.

"He has to come else he won't be alive." Sana said and folded her hands on her chest.

"Leave that. But were you not blushing while coming down this evening? Dare not lie to me." Maya said in a threatening tone.

"Nah babe nothing like that. I guess I applied too much of blush on my cheeks." She said and smiled sheepishly while Maya narrowed her eyes.

"You look like creep when you narrow your eyes." Sana said and received a smack on her arm by Maya.

"Shut up and sleep." Maya said.

"Am not sleepy. You sleep. I have some work to do. Good night sweetheart." Sana said and picked her laptop and started doing something.

She was so much indulged in her work that she didn't even notice someone else's presence in her room except Maya who was indeed sleeping soundly.

She got up from her bed and went to take a glass of water. The moment she reached near the table to pick up the bottle someone pulled her harshly, closed her mouth and carried her upstairs.

"What the- Veer? Is it really you?" She asked shockingly.

"Any doubt Princess?" He said and opened his arms. She ran into his arms and hugged him as if her life depends on him which surely did.

"What are you doing here at this hour of night? What if someone sees us?" She said looking here and there.

"Chill love. I couldn't wait to see you so I came. As simple as that." He said.

"Surely you would have climbed the pipe to get into my room?" She asked.

"That was the only way to get into the room, all other ways were closed. So yeah.." He said.

"By the way you were saying something in the evening right?" He asked.

"Forget it. I was just randomly blabbering some nonsense stuff." She said not meeting his gaze.

"You know very well that you can't lie to me. So speak the truth." He said authoratively.

"Its truly nothing." She said.

"Look into my eyes and say the same thing." He said and held her shoulders tightly.

"Veer.. you are overthinking.. I.. I.. it's umm nothing." She stammered.

"Sana.." He said slightly raising his tone.

"I don't know how to say this but.. I guess you will spoil your life by marrying me." She said without meeting his gaze.

"And why do you think so?" He asked calmly.

"It's just that I don't know whether.. I would be a mother or not and why.. why will you spoil your life by marrying me. You can get a better girl than me who will be perfect unlike me." She said.

"Sana you know right, in this world no one is perfect, neither you nor me. Two imperfect people shape each other's life and make a beautiful bonding. A bonding which is very unique and full of love.

And about being a mother, we can adopt a child. But truly speaking I have you for my whole life, I don't need anyone else. You are enough for me and I am enough for you. We are there for each other and that's more than enough. We have our parents who supported us through all odds. What more do we need?" He said calmly and lifted her chin.

"It's not like that Veer.. I just..." She wanted to say something but was stopped by him.

"Shh.. don't think about that. Believe me you are more than enough for me and I don't need kids when I have kid in form of you. Do not overthink. I love you and will always love you only. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and no one can ever replace you in my life." He said and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Veer. Please don't leave me ever." She said and hugged him tightly.

She fell asleep in his arms. He held her all through the night like that. When it was almost dawn he took her to her room and made her sleep on the bed.

"Bye bye sweetheart. Love you." He said and kissed her forehead and she smiled in her sleep.
