Author's POV::::::

It was the vatna ceremony of viren and Anusha today.Vatna, also known as the haldi or turmeric ceremony, holds immense importance in Punjabi weddings. It's a ritual where a paste of turmeric, herbs, and oils is applied to the bride and groom's skin, symbolizing purification, good luck, and the beautification of the couple before their wedding day.

The scene is vibrant and filled with energy. Family members gather around as the bride and groom sit adorned in traditional attire. The vatna paste, prepared with care by family members, is applied to their skin by loved ones, who sing traditional songs and share stories, creating an atmosphere of joy and anticipation.

The golden hue of the turmeric paste contrasts beautifully against the bride and groom's outfits, adding to the visual spectacle. As the ceremony progresses, the laughter and excitement of the attendees fill the air, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

In the soft rays of sunlight,The mansion was adorned with vibrant strings of lights, casting a warm glow across the expansive grounds.

Floral arrangements burst with color, draping over elegant archways and lining the pathways. The scent of fresh blooms fills the air, mingling with the laughter and chatter of guests.children were running here and there in the hall and in the garden .

Inside, the halls are transformed into a tapestry of bright hues, with intricate patterns of marigold petals adorning every corner. It's a scene of joy and celebration, as friends and family gather to participate in the cherished haldi ceremony.

At the centre of the garden ,the place was specially decorated with yellow coloured flowers and lights as well as the shining small golden tub inbetween the centre for the groom to be sit there for applying the haldi or vatna.

Anusha's haldi was settled in her apartment by mother Stella and other orphanage children and members where mehar and Anusha grow up.

In this time,they all become her family from the bride's side .it was the emotional moment for Anusha as she was missing her parents and family so much .

On the other side ,mehar ,who was adorned with yellow embroidered lehnga with flowered shaped net dupatta and low hair bun with the long golden earings in ears and necklace resting on her neck .

She was walking towards the garden with the vatna and oil in the bug golden plate in her hands when someone wrapped their arms around her waist suddenly and pulled her to a corner.

Her back was pressing against the man front and her front was facing towards the wall where the vatna plate stopped her from becoming the sandwitch between wall and that man.

She was going to scream when a manly hand stopped her from screaming by putting his hand on her mouth.

"Shhh....it's me sohneyo."The man whispered in her ears .

After hearing the voice mehar quickly opened her eyes and looked back at the man who was none other than her husband.

She sighed and looked back at him signalling him with her eyes to remove his hand.

He grinned and removed his hand but that hand quickly wrapped around her bare waist .

"Karan....what is this behaviour .I was literally had a mini attack with this . don't do this from next time.and what are you doing here.let's go outside .everyone is waiting." Mehar muttered and removed his hands from her but he quickly back hugged her again .
