This is Adarsh's story ❤️💕
P.S.: This is the fourth book in the Singhania series. I recommend you to read the first three.
P.P.S.: I do not own any images.
The wedding was after four days and today everyone was going to the venue. It was a two hour journey. They reached almost at the same time. Everyone greeted each other and they went inside. They decided to meet for dinner an hour later. Everyone went to their respective rooms to freshen up.
They had their dinner and went to their rooms to sleep as the next day was the Haldi ceremony.
The next day everyone woke up early and the rituals started. The bride and the groom's haldi were in different halls. First was the Tel chadana followed by a short puja. The Haldi rasam started and by the end of it both Rashi and Vaibhav were completely drenched in Haldi paste. They were taken to their room to change.
Everyone changed their clothes and again gathered to have lunch followed by a small puja where some holy threads were tied on the bride and groom's legs and wrist. The work for the day was done and no one was in the mood to sleep. They decided to play Antakshari. Everyone gathered in the hall alloted to them.
On the other hand, the Singhania family was also gathered in the hall alloted to them and were playing Dumb Charades. They played till late evening and then everyone had their dinner. Rashi was not hungry and excused herself. Pranati and Sakshi went after some time as they knew she would be talking to Vaibhav.
They decided to go to the parlour and pamper themselves as tomorrow was no ritual. Soon they slipped into slumber.
**************************************
The next morning they woke up around 10 and went down to have their breakfast. They got ready as their appointment was of 12. All three of them along with Dhriti spent the whole day at the parlour, pampering their skin. Sahil drove them. They returned at 5 and went to their room to change. Everyone met downstairs for tea and discussed about the Mehandi function next day.
It was decided that the Mehandi function would be kept together. Rashi and Vaibhav will be made to sit on the opposite sides of the hall. They discussed the menu for the day and then left for their rooms after having dinner. Everyone was told to wake up early the next morning.

The next morning everyone woke up early and had their breakfast. Rashi and the elder ladies started getting their mehandi done. The youngsters were clicking pictures.

The dholwalas arrived at 12pm and everyone danced like crazy. They danced for three-hours non stop. Rashi was getting her mehandi done so Pranati fed her while Sakshi fed Shweta who also had mehandi on her hands.
In the evening when almost everyone was done Shweta asked Dhriti, Pranati and Sakshi to sit and get their mehandi done.
During dinner time their mehandi was still wet. They were searching for someone to feed them when Pranati called Adarsh and asked him get food for all three of them. He nodded and went from there.
Sakshi was about to sit when Shweta came and dragged her away from there. She took her to make her meet her mamajis and cousins. They had just come from Mumbai. She greeted all of them and hugged her cousins careful not to ruin her henna.
She was going back when she heard someone call her name. Turning around she saw Adarsh and Utkarsh with food plates in their hands. Adarsh said something to Utkarsh to which he nodded and went from there.
Adarsh came near her and said.
"Follow me."
She chuckled at his antics and went after him. He asked her to sit and he also sat in front of her. Making a morsel he took it near her mouth and said.
"Aaa."
"Aaa."
She did mimicking him and he chuckled. He wiped the corner of her mouth brushing his thumb on her lower lip. Her breath hitched and he looked at her lips and then in her eyes.
Gulping the lump in his throat he pulled his hand back. He started feeding her. Not liking the awkward silence he started telling the the fun they did the previous days and they had their food laughing and talking.
Soon everyone went to their rooms after removing their mehandi. Sakshi and Pranati entered the room and saw Rashi getting emotional. They engulfed her in a hug and Sakshi also started crying. Pranati tried to console both of them. Rashi's phone rang. Pranati attended the call.
"Hi jiju."
"Ohh. Umm- hii. Rashi kaha par hai?"
(Where is Rashi?)
"Wo-umm- she is getting emotional. Pre-wedding jitters."
She heard Vaibhav sigh.
"Meri baat karana usse."
(Let me talk to her.)
Pranati passed the phone to Rashi. And she and Sakshi moved out to give them privacy. After some time she came out and said that she was going to her parents room. Sakshi went with her and Pranati went back to her room.
Sakshi and Rashi entered their parents room. Shweta and Rajesh were sitting on their bed talking when they heard the door open. Rashi immediately went into their embrace and started crying. They also became emotional and hugged her back.
Sakshi also went to them and they shared a group hug. They reminisced the old memories and spent the night talking to each other.
They came back in the early hours of the morning and slept for some time.
The next morning they woke up early as there were a lot of rituals to be done. Rashi's appointment was of 3pm and she was ready by 5pm.
Sakshi and Pranati went downstairs to check when to take her down. They reached the hall and Vaibhav's tilak was going on. Soon they were asked to call her down.
Sakshi and Pranati reached the room to call Rashi downstairs. Shweta and Rajesh were also there with her. They moved out after locking the room and were at the staircase when Shweta remembered that she forgot her phone there only. Pranati asked them to move ahead and that she will get it. ************************************** I know the chapter is repeated but as i have already mentioned that some scenes would be repeated.
