The grand Indian wedding venue was adorned with vibrant flowers, intricate decorations, and twinkling lights. The atmosphere is filled with joy and excitement. Traditional music plays softly in the background as guests gather to witness the union of Sitara and Gagan.

Sitara, dressed in a stunning red and white saree with intricate embroidery, is seated in a beautifully decorated mandap (wedding canopy). Her face glows with happiness, and her eyes sparkle as she looks around at her loved ones. Gagan, in a regal sherwani, stands beside her, looking equally radiant and eager.

Priest: (chanting) "May your love and commitment to each other be as eternal as the stars in the sky."

Gagan takes Sitara's hand, guiding her around the sacred fire for the "Saat Phere" (seven vows). With each round, they exchange vows, promising to be each other's support, love, and strength.

Gagan: (holding Sitara's hand) "With every step, I promise to stand by you, to support and cherish you."

Sitara: (smiling through tears) "With every step, I promise to love and honor you, to be your partner in all of life's journey."

As they complete the seven rounds, Gagan gently places a mangalsutra (sacred necklace) around Sitara's neck, symbolizing their eternal bond. The guests applaud, and the atmosphere is filled with joy and celebration.

Vijay: (walking up to Gagan and Sitara) "Congratulations to both of you. The wedding was beautiful."

Gagan: (smiling) "Thank you, Vijay. It means a lot coming from you."

Sitara: (nervously) "Yes, thank you, Vijay. We're really happy."

Vijay's expression turns serious as he takes Gagan aside, away from the crowd. Sitara watches from a distance, her heart pounding with anticipation.

Vijay: (sternly) "Gagan, I'm happy for you both. But I need to make one thing very clear."

Gagan: (concerned) "What is it, Vijay?"

Vijay: (firmly) "You've promised to take good care of Sitara. She's been through a lot. If you fail her in any way, if you hurt her or neglect her, I will make sure she disappears from your life. And when I say disappear, I mean it. You won't be able to find her, no matter how hard you try."

Gagan: (nodding seriously) "I understand, Vijay. I love Sitara deeply, and I promise to cherish and care for her. I would never do anything to hurt her."

Vijay: (sighing) "I hope you mean that. You see, I'm not just her friend; I'm her protector. She's been my responsibility for a long time, and I won't stand by and watch her be hurt again."

Gagan: (earnestly) "I understand your concern. I assure you, I'll do everything in my power to make her happy and ensure she never feels hurt again."

Vijay: (softening slightly) "Good. Because if you ever do fail her, you won't just be facing me. And believe me, that's not something you want."

Gagan: (sincerely) "Thank you for your honesty, Vijay. I appreciate it and will honor my commitment to Sitara."

Vijay nods, seemingly satisfied with Gagan's response. He turns to Sitara with a warm smile, giving her a reassuring nod before walking away.

Sitara: (walking over to Gagan) "What did Vijay say?"

Gagan: (taking her hand) "He just wanted to make sure I'm serious about taking care of you. And I am, Sitara. I promise."

Sitara: (smiling) "I know you are, Gagan. And I'm glad Vijay is looking out for me."

Gagan: (gently) "We'll be okay. Together, we can face anything."

Abhay: (excitedly running to Gagan and Sitara) "You both look so happy! I'm so glad you're getting married!"

Gagan: (lifting Abhay up and smiling) "Thank you, Abhay. We're very happy too."

Sitara: (smiling at Abhay) "You're the best little brother anyone could ask for."
