Back to the story

The vibrant hues of traditional Indian decor adorned the wedding venue, setting the stage for Jiya and Abhishek's union. As they stood on the sacred ground, their eyes met amidst the ceremonial rituals, each adorned in the resplendent attire befitting the occasion.

Jiya, draped in a rich red and gold lehenga , exuded a timeless elegance. The intricate patterns and sparkling jewels accentuated her beauty, and the henna designs on her hands told a story of love and commitment. She couldn't help but steal glances at Abhishek, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and apprehension.Abhishek, wearing a regal sherwani, was a picture of stoic grace. His initial reluctance to the arranged marriage had given way to a sense of duty, yet a subtle transformation occurred within him. As he caught sight of Jiya in her bridal avatar, he found himself captivated by her ethereal charm. The jasmine flowers adorned in her hair released a delicate fragrance that lingered in the air, weaving an invisible thread between them.
The rituals continued, but in the stolen moments between the sacred chants and ceremonial gestures, Abhishek and Jiya exchanged glances that spoke volumes. The unspoken connection between them seemed to transcend the scripted nature of an arranged marriage. Abhishek's reservations were momentarily forgotten as he witnessed the vulnerability in Jiya's eyes, a reflection of his own uncertainty.
During the exchange of garlands, their fingers brushed, sending a subtle electric charge through both of them. Abhishek, who had been stern-faced throughout the proceedings, felt a warmth spreading within him. It was a paradoxical mix of duty and an unexpected connection, something he hadn't anticipated when the alliance was first proposed.
As they circled the sacred fire, the pheras, Abhishek found himself contemplating the intricacies of fate and choice. The traditional vows echoed around them, and in that moment, a silent understanding passed between Jiya and Abhishek

Abhishek- Oh, come on! I'm not that complicated.
Nonu, with a mischievous grin, chimed in.
