Finally ! it was that day . The day shanaya was hoping not to come . it was her wedding !

she woke up at 7:00 .last night, she was mentally embracing herself for the big event .this is probably the biggest step she took in her whole life , and is already regretting . 

her million thoughts were obstructed by a huge bang. she looked at the door petrified out of her wits. it was Ruhi -

"shanaya !? are you serious !!?? its your wedding today and you're still not ready !!? get up" ruhi screamed at shanayas face while pulling shanaya by her hand and shoving her in the bathroom. 

"but there is 2 hou-" before shanaya could say something ruhi slammed the door on shanaya's face .

...........................

shanaya was finally ready . she looked exceptionally fabulous , thanks to ruhi who helped her with her makeup and dress pieces .

Ruhi stepped back to take a final look at shanaya . she gasped and almost slipped .

" is it that bad ?....." shanaya asked seeing her freind's pale face 

" you.....you...look...beautiful " ruhi replied with a smile at the end . her bestfreind who she treasured the most was getting married today, a  tear rolled down her cheek. it all felt surreal to her as she was unaware about the contract. Ruhi   knew she was gonna miss her a lot , but now she had to let her go . 

seeing this shanaya got off her seat and hugged Ruhi . she felt guilty for not telling her about the contract . both hugged each other tightly , immersed in their tears . Ruhi broke the hug -

"oh no now i have to do your makeup again " Ruhi said caressing shanayas face , her eyes still wet . 

"no dont please.. I CANT!" shanaya said , she could not sit for another hour . both of them broke into laughter . 

ruhi got dressed and did her makeup . two amazingly beautiful women were walking down the stairs when they heard a car horn . both of them looked at the direction where the  noise came from , they witnessed a big black limousine which was waiting for them just like Vikram told .

it came near them and stopped . Shanaya raised her hand to open the door of the fancy jet black limousine . when the chaffeur rushed out of his car and came running -

" oh no no! madam ill open it for you . if you do it yourself , vikram sir will fire  me "

he opened the door and shanaya slid in with her fancy heavy dress . the chauffer helped her with her dress . he sat back in and started the engine . soon they were just outside the venue of her big fat wedding. the chauffer picked up his walkie talkie and murmered-

"vikram sir's bride has arrived"

these sent chills down shanaya's spine . she didn't know what to expect .she was very nervous  even though it was a fake wedding. all of her anxiety was put aside when vikram opened the limousine's door . vikram held out his hand ,signalling shanaya to grab it , which she did. he gently helped her get out of the limousine . 

shanaya was dumbfounded at how gorgeus the whole venue looked . the flowers , the curtains and the lights were all just spectacular . everything was so fancy she felt like she didn't belong there . she looked at the mandap and noticed that there only a hanful of pweople present there waiting for her but she knew all those people were very wealthy and famous people

vikram saw her face and was awestruck at how breathtaking shanaya looked .he just kept staring at her , the whole world stopped for him.suddenly shanaya  tightened her hold on his hand . he looked at her , she was scared . all the attention was on her . all the cameras , all the eyes  and all the spot light was on her -

"vikram , im scared..." she said with a frightened voice 

"look at me shanaya , its okay . you just have to make it to the mandap where there are no cameras  . ill protect you , always . trust me "vikram said piercing into her eyes 

 trust me "vikram said piercing into her eyes

th both finally made it to the mandap . and gave his hand for shanaya to come up .shanaya gave him a tensed look , he then realisaedthat shanaya couldn't climb the mandap on her own due to her heavy red lahenga. he got down quickly and picked up shanaya in his arms in  bridal style.  the crowd went crazy at this gesture of vikram ,including his parents . vikram was never so open with any girl . shanaya whispered  nudging him -

" put me down , everyone's looking "

" rule no 1 of being my wife - don't care about others . so shut up" vikram replied in a smirkish tone 

both of them    got on the mandap and sat in their respective seats . the wedding officially began. the priest started chanting  the mantras . shanya felt nervous but vikram was holding her hand throughout all the rituals so she felt safe . she felt like she was doing something wrong and was disappointing the whole world but she knew  didn't have an option she had to do it for her ma .

when the priest said get ready for your phere( a ritual which involves for the bride and groom to take 7 rounds around a fire making 7 promises to each other similar to vows ) . they both got up and completed the ritual . everytime the priest would say promise which involved them living together forever or being there for each other vikram would cross his fingers . except for one vow which was to protect shanaya at all costs , he actually wanted to fullfil this promise .

finally the wedding ended and the priest said 

" now both of you are pronounced husband and wife " 

shanaya felt scared as she didn't know what turns her life would take now . she was scared about her future but feeling vikram's tight hold on her hand  she somehow felt that he was always going to protect her . it was strange but it somehow calmed her . she oddly felt ressured and protected .
