Fate marriage💍

chapter 7

On the first day of the wedding functions, during the Haldi ceremony, Aleena looked stunning in a beautiful yellow gharara.

As everyone joyfully applied haldi to her, a touching moment occurred when her father stepped forward. As he gently applied the haldi, tears welled up in Aleena's eyes, and her father’s eyes mirrored the same emotions. The bond between them was palpable, and for a brief moment, they were overcome with emotion.

But, thanks to the cheerful and playful energy of Aleena’s cousins, the mood quickly shifted. Their lighthearted antics brought smiles back to everyone's faces, lifting the emotional weight and filling the air with laughter once again. The day continued with joy, as everyone celebrated this special moment in Aleena's life.
At the groom's house, the same Haldi ceremony was taking place, mirroring the celebrations at the bride’s home. However, Ayaan, being the workaholic that he was, didn’t share the same enthusiasm for these traditional rituals. He was more focused on his work and didn’t find much joy in these ceremonial customs, treating them more as obligations rather than moments to cherish.

Despite his indifference, the ceremonies proceeded with all the grandeur one would expect. The Mehndi and Sangeet that followed were top-notch, with every detail meticulously planned and executed. The events were full of color, music, and dance, reflecting the joy and excitement of both families, even if Ayaan himself remained somewhat detached. The families ensured that each function was a grand celebration, embodying the spirit of a traditional wedding, even as the groom kept his focus more on his work than on the festivities.

The day of the Nikah had finally arrived—a day considered to be the most pure, halal, and beautiful, yet for Ayaan and Aleena, it was filled with nerves and uncertainty. Aleena was especially emotional, her heart heavy with the weight of the day and all that it symbolized.

As the Nikah was performed, both Ayaan and Aleena said "Kabul hai, Kabul hai, Kabul hai," officially binding them together as husband and wife.

When they finally stood on the stage, facing each other for the first time as a married couple, Ayaan found himself unable to take his eyes off Aleena. The reality of the moment settled in, and despite the initial hesitation, something softened within him.

As they stood there, receiving blessings and congratulations from everyone around them, Ayaan’s family had planned a surprise. His brothers and cousins, who knew him well, had orchestrated something he would never have done on his own. They urged him to kneel down and present Aleena with a diamond ring—a gesture of love and commitment. Initially, Ayaan resisted, feeling that such a display didn’t suit his serious and reserved nature. But, under their persistence and seeing Aleena’s face, he finally agreed.

With some reluctance, but moved by the moment, Ayaan knelt down before Aleena and slipped the ring onto her finger. For someone as proud and reserved as Ayaan, this gesture felt a bit awkward, even cringe-worthy. But as he saw Aleena’s reaction—her surprise and the slight blush that colored her cheeks—he realized that perhaps it wasn’t so bad after all. Aleena, witnessing this rare moment of vulnerability from Ayaan, thought to herself that maybe he wasn’t as arrogant as she had first believed. This small act of humility, though uncomfortable for Ayaan, became a significant and touching moment for both of them, hinting at the possibility of something deeper between them.
