❖Chapter 8 ❖
The Birlas and Goenkas arrived at the Mandir when the Subh Murat began. Abhimanyu exited his car with Shivansh, Nishtha, and Shefali. He was dressed in a cream-coloured sherwani with maroon-coloured pyjamas and a maroon pagri. They entered the Mandir.
Aarohi came out of her car with Roohi, Kairav, and Anisha. She was wearing a cream velvet embroidered lehenga. They entered the Mandir.

Inside the Mandir, everyone dressed in traditional attire sat down in the beautifully decorated hall. Abhimanyu and Aarohi sat on the pavilion, exchanging glances in anticipation. Pandit ji started chanting mantras. First, the Ganesh pooja was performed, seeking blessings from Lord Ganesh. Then, var puja took place, where Manish washed Abhimanyu's feet with milk and wiped them off with a cloth. The couple stood up to exchange garlands, with Roohi and Shivansh holding the garlands. The couple took them from the kids and exchanged the garlands. They sat back on the pavilion. The gathbandhan was done by Manjari and Harshvardhan, and Kanyadan was performed by Swarna and Manish.
Being instructed to take the saath pheras, they stood up. They walked around the sacred fire, vowing to be together in good days and bad days, in happiness and sorrow, and to support each other in their journey through life.
The first four pheras were led by Abhimanyu, and the remaining three were led by Aarohi. Both families smiled in joy, showering flowers on them as their blessing. After completing the vows, they were asked to have a seat, and the pandit ji explained the meaning of the seven vows.
Pandit ji presented a mangalsutra and instructed Abhimanyu to tie it. Then, Pandit Ji asked him to perform the sindoordaan with a coin. While filling Aarohi's maang, some of the sindoor fell on her nose.
A random lady who was watching the couple get tied in a pious bond commented, "Yeh tumhe bahut pyaar karega." The onlookers laughed at the comment, leaving the couple shy.
They were announced as husband and wife. They got up and sought blessings from the elders.

The car stood in front of the Birla Mansion, which was decorated like a bride. Abhimanyu got out of the car and held his hand out. Aarohi's mehendi-clad hands grabbed his bare hands, and she got out of the car.
Manjari did their aatri and Aarohi's Griha Parvesh happened. She was instructed to push the kalesh filled with rice with her right toe and she entered the house.
I know this is a short chapter but I have the flu. Hence, I don't have any himmat to write more.
Does anyone get sick again, after they get better? Because I got the flu at the beginning of December, finally got better and then again got it.😖
Hope you liked the chap. Don't forget to vote and comment. Thanks for reading! ❤️
