ARRANGE MARRIAGE [SHUBMAN X ISHAN]

Sacred Beginnings: Haldi, Blessings, and Preparation

She imagined Ishan, exploding with anger and lashing out at his partner. 

This revelation, she believed, would lead to a bitter fight and ultimately the end of their marriage.

 However, much to Sara's surprise, Ishan's reaction was anything but what she had anticipated.

 With a calm and collected demeanor, he responded, 

"I know, Sara. Shubhi had a girlfriend before." 

Sara, taken aback, stammered,

 "Umm... Shubman told you everything about him?" 

Ishaan, with a gentle smile, replied,

 "Yes, he didn't hide anything from me. I am glad he didn't." 

Just as Sara was about to respond, their attention was diverted by the arrival of Shahneel, Shubhman's sister. 

With a playful tone, she called out, "ishu, baby, what are you doing here?" 

Ishan, regaining his composure, answered, "Nothing, Didi. I was just a little exhausted."

 Concerned, Shahneel inquired, "Are you okay, right? Should I call Shubman?" 

Ishan, reassuring his sister, replied, "No, Didi, I am fine."

 Together, Ishan and Shahneel walked towards the stage, ready to dance, leaving Sara alone with her thoughts. 

As she watched them go, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the unbreakable bond between Ishan and Shubhman.

 She realized that their love for each other transcended traditional societal norms and embraced the authenticity of their relationship. 

Ishan and Shahneel came to the stage.

 Shubman, unable to resist the magnetic pull, moved closer to Ishan and gently cupped his face.

 "Baby, you okay?" Shubman whispered, his eyes filled with concern.

 Ishan met Shubman's gaze and offered a reassuring smile. 

"Yes, Shubhi, I am fine. Don't worry," he replied, his voice soft and soothing. 

Shubman nodded, his heart filled with relief.

 The two lovers locked eyes, their connection palpable, as they continued their dance, their movements in perfect harmony. 

After their electrifying performance, the lively crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

 Amidst the jubilation, pangs of hunger began to stir, and everyone made their way to the dining area to enjoy a delicious dinner. 

As the evening drew to a close, Mr. Gill approached Mr. Kishan, the father of the groom, and shared some exciting news.

 "Mr. Kishan, the boys have expressed their desire to arrive early tomorrow. They seem quite enthusiastic," Mr. Gill informed. 

Mr. Kishan chuckled with amusement.

 "Oh, it's perfectly fine, Mr. Gill. There's no need to rush. We'll start the function at 10 in the morning, giving ample time for everyone to arrive comfortably."

 Ishan, who had been listening attentively, couldn't help but feel a tinge of confusion. 

"Papa, what function are you referring to?" he inquired.

 Mr. Kishan beamed with joy as he gazed upon his son. 

"Why, it's your and Shubman's haldi ceremony, beta," he replied, his voice filled with pride.
