" since everything is ready we have to prepare everything for the wedding. " Said Trishna to others. " Which rituals will we do ? " asked puja bhabhi to Karishma.

" Direct wedding. " Said Trishna to them. " Direct wedding will be boring, we will do brief haldi , mehendi and then wedding. " Suggested sanjana bhabi.

" We can do it together but we need a little place for the groom and bride to sit. Who will make it ? " asked puja.

" I can do it for you guys if you don't mind. " Came a voice. When everyone turned and saw kabir standing behind them.

" If you don't mind I can help you build little platforms for the bride and groom. " he said with a smile. Trishna wasn't very comfortable with it but for her plan she needs his help.

" That will be great." Said puja to kabir. " Now if you do that then we will arrange other rituals. And also dresses for the couple. " Said puja and left with others.

Kabir took the kids and went to build the mandap for the wedding . Trishna sat down with her sister-in-law Sanjana to paste haldi for the haldi ceremony.

They pasted turmeric which they have hervested in their house. Even Sahara sat down to help them paste haldi. While they were doing it , the men of the family has returned.

" I told you I will catch a big fish. " Said Sankalpa with a big smile. He was holding a big fish in his hand. As they entered the house , they looked at the arrangements and were surprised.

" We are having a wedding in this house. " Said puja to them. " The twins are getting their dolls married, and since you got us so many fish we can have a grand wedding. " Said Trishna with a smile. She explained who will sit as a bride and groom.

" That's a wonderful idea. And since samrat is sitting as groom , let us get him ready for the wedding. " Said Ashak with a teasing smile.

" Even I will change . " Said Trishna and went inside her room , while her sister in law's were teasing her. She went in her room and picked a dress for sankalpa and changed into a yellow sari .

" Doll wedding ? " Asked Sankalpa as soon as he walked in. " I used to play that a lot , but now if I play people will think I am mad. So I have decided to live my childhood again. " Said Trishna with a smile.

" Well , than I will also enjoy my childhood with you guys. Since I am from grooms side, we will bring haldi for the bride. " Said Sankalpa.

" Our wedding memories are so bitter for both of us....let's creat little happy moments for ourselves. " Said Trishna to Sankalpa. He walked over to her and hugged her. " All the bitterness vanished and now what we have is just love..." Said Sankalpa in Trishn's ear which eased her heart.

Together they came out , everything was ready. Kabir made a little mandap for the bride and another for groom to sit. And he really did a good job.

" Chachi why are we putting haldi ...to fry the bride? " asked one of the twins and everyone laughed. " Well , we are not going to fry them...it's a ritual done for bride and groom. " Said Trishna to her.

" Really why it's done ? " asked Titli to her. " Well , I have learned from my mother that ...The haldi ceremony is an important pre-wedding ritual in Indian weddings that symbolizes purity, love, and good luck. It is also believed to have several other benefits

Cleansing
The ceremony is said to cleanse and purify the couple's bodies before the wedding.

Protection
Turmeric is believed to protect the couple from evil spirits and negative omens.

Prosperity
The bright yellow color of turmeric is thought to bless the couple with prosperity.

And that's why it's important, hope now you understood. " Said Trishna and titli nodded. They made sam and Sahara sit behind the dolls and applied haldi.

Everyone became excited and started applying haldi to one another. " Okay guys , we all have to get ready for mehendi and than wedding. Let's go and take a shower. " Said puja bhabhi.

" We even have to cook for the barati...let's go. " Said Sanjana bhabi.
" What's on today's menu ? " asked Sanjaya to his wife.

" It's going to be Fried rice , daal , potato and brinjal fry , fish curry, meat and sweets. " Said Trishna and everyone became very happy. They all went to get ready for the function.

Trishna hurriedly took purvi in her room and bathed her and changed her clothes. When purvi left Sankalpa came in.

" Husband let me bath first , I even have to cook with bhabi's" said Trishna while taking out clothes and stuff. Sankalpa held her hand and her near him.

She know what to do , her heartbreat raised. " What are you doing? " asked Trishna to him. " You said we only have bitter memories of our wedding...let's correct it today. " he said and applied haldi on Trishna's face.

The brief skin to skin contact made Trishna shiver a little. " I am cleaning all negative factors of our wedding. And cleaning our relationship for the betterment . " he said with a tiny smile.

Trishna took little haldi from the container and applied it on sankalpa's face and said " Turmeric is believed to protect the couple from evil spirits and negative omens....so here I am protecting you from everything. "

Sankalpa hugged her and gave her a little kiss on her forehead. " Now go and get ready , we have other rituals to do. " Said Trishna to Sankalpa and force him to walk in the shower.

She herself cleaned her face and went out to look for kabir. When she found him , she hesitated for a while and than said " I have some work for you."

" What is it? " asked kabir with a happy smile. " That little assistant of yours is trying to hurt my family. If you can stop her than I will promise to work once for your company " said Trishna which was a great opportunity for kabir. He smiled and nodded.

" Okay let's write a contract on my terms. " Said kabir and Trishna didn't nod yet ,she was thinking but than thinking about her husband she changed her mind . She nodded.
