From beneath her veil, she spotted a boy sitting in the pavilion dressed as a groom. He was very handsome, and the sherwani complemented his muscular build beautifully.

The girl was seated in the mandap, and the wedding ceremony began. Before long, all the rituals were completed, except for applying the vermilion and placing the mangal sutra.

The pandit smiled and said, "Daughter, now lift your veil a little."

The girl raised her veil.

The pandit instructed the boy to put on the mangal sutra and apply the vermilion. He applied the vermilion to her hairline and placed the mangal sutra around her neck.

As the pandit blessed them, he announced, "The marriage rituals are complete."

After a while, the girl and the boy got into the car and headed to the Rathod mansion.

The boy was Ahaan Rathod, and we will later discover the girl's true identity.

Rathod Mansion:

The car stopped outside the Rathod mansion. Ahaan and the girl entered the mansion, where Aanchal ji performed the aarti for her, then placed her feet on the kumkum plate and invited her inside.

The girl followed Aanchal ji’s instructions. Once inside, Aanchal ji smiled and asked, "Beta, what’s your name?"

The girl replied, "Mahi."

Aanchal ji beamed and said, "That's a lovely name. Ahaan never mentioned it. Whenever I asked, he said to ask you when you arrived."

Mahi smiled slightly at Aanchal ji’s words.

Aanchal ji continued, "Now you should go to your room. It’s the second room on the right side of the first floor."

Mahi nodded and made her way upstairs to Ahaan's room. Ahaan had already arrived.

Mahi entered the room and locked the door. Hearing the lock click, Ahaan, who was just removing his watch, turned to look at her, still taking in her presence. Until now, he hadn’t really seen Mahi.

As soon as he sat in the car, he had gotten engrossed in his phone (working, not scrolling through social media like the rest of us) 🤣

Regardless, Ahaan found himself staring at Mahi while she completely ignored him, treating him as if he weren’t even there. (Only Mahi could manage that 🤧)

Ahaan was astonished by her indifference. Mahi then ordered, "Move aside; I need to take off the jewelry."

For a moment, Ahaan felt as if this were not his house but Mahi’s. Shaking himself back to reality, he raised an eyebrow and replied, "And why should I listen to you? This is my house; I can stand wherever I want."

Mahi replied nonchalantly, "As you wish."

Mahi began removing her jewelry one piece at a time and placing it on the side table. Ahaan kept watching her, muttering to himself, "Unbelievable."

[This is Mahi’s swag 😎]

After she had taken off all her jewelry, Mahi asked, "Where are my clothes?"

Ahaan shrugged and replied, "How would I know?"

Mahi rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, you have trousers and a T-shirt, right?"

Without saying anything, Ahaan went to the closet and retrieved trousers and a T-shirt, handing them to Mahi.

She took the clothes and headed to the bathroom. Once she left, Ahaan muttered to himself, "This girl doesn’t even know how to say thank you." 🙄

Some time later, Mahi emerged from the bathroom. She placed her wedding dress on the bed, then took a hairdryer from the dressing table and began drying her wet hair.

Just then, Ahaan entered the room after taking a shower in the other bathroom. He saw Mahi drying her hair, the T-shirt hanging loosely on her. She looked adorable.

Ahaan felt as if he could just stare at her forever.

Shaking off his thoughts, he chided himself, "Ahaan, what are you thinking? She’s just your six-month contract wife."

He approached Mahi and said, "If you're done, can I dry my hair too?"

Without a word, Mahi handed him the dryer.

Now, you might wonder what would happen if there’s a cold war without reason; imagine the chaos if they had a real reason!

Maybe World War III 😁

Waiting for your comments! 💗

[By the way, I think my English is quite bad right now 🥲 Sorry, buddies 😔]

And I’ve been referring to them as a boy and girl in the last two chapters; they’re actually a man and a woman.
