Author's POV

It's been a week since their alliance got fixed and the very next day their marriage dates was fixed which was the next week. As it was the Royal's wedding it was a topic for the city. And why not after all it's their King's wedding. And today was their haldi.

At the Raghuvanshi Palace,
Haldi was played enthusiastically whereas at Rajput's place it was just a formality. As they didn't care. They just did so that Raghuvanshi don't doubt them about their ill behaviour towards Aradhya.

Aradhya was made to sit on a stool and just then her in-laws entered with a bowl of haldi. Pratibha cast off her evil eyes and said lovingly,"looking so beautiful bachha." Aradhya smiled and touched her feet. She then touched everyone's feet and then sat at her place.

Prerna said,"this haldi is of Abhimaan's. We will apply the same haldi to you." She nodded. One by one everyone came and applied haldi to her. After haldi her in-laws went back to their palace and now it was mehendi.

The mehendi artist came and applied mehendi to her feet and legs. She was sitting in that position for soo long that her back was now aching and on top of that she was hungry but there was no one who could even ask her for food. Thinking this a lone tear escaped from her eyes. Her thoughts broke when she felt her tears get wiped. She looked at the person and saw Nisha. She shook her head and said,"why are you crying? I'm here na then why are you thinking that there's no one for you huh?" Aradhya smiled with tears. "Achha chal bata bhuk lagi hai?" (Well tell me. Are you hungry?)

Aradhya nodded and she went to take food. Aradhya looked at her retreating figures and thanked god for sending her such a best best friend. Her thoughts broke when the mehendi artist asked,"what name should I write?"
"Uhh Abhimaan." "Hide it properly. Ok" nisha said while coming towards them. She fed Aradhya food with her hands. And then she too has her food.

After an hour or two Aradhya's mehendi was done. Then she along with Nisha went to her room and did lots and lots of gossip till the dawn. And then slept.

At the Palace

Abhimaan was applied to haldi by everyone and well what's even a haldi if you don't play a haldi holi. All his friends and cousins played holi of haldi and even tore his kurta. All in all they had a lot of fun unlike Aradhya.

After that even Abhimaan applied mehendi. He wrote Aradhya's name on his palm. He was happy that he was going to marry her. In all this he realised one thing that HE LIKES HER. Or maybe more than that. They had even talked for few times on call. Yes, Aradhya has given him her number but told him to call her only in night.

In this one week he used to wait impatiently of night just so that he could hear her angelic voice.
"Look. How he is lost in bhabhi's thoughts." Mohit teased. "Now what can we do. Our bhabhi's charm are like this only." Rahul also joined him. Abhimaan rolled his eyes at them but a tint can be seen on her neck and ears. Shourya said,"woah bhaii. Are you blushing?" Abhimaan just shook his head at them and said,"shut up guys. You all are just talking nonsense. I'm going. I have work." Saying so he went from there in his study but of course how could he concentrate on his work.

When all he could concentrate was on his soon to be wife. He can't wait to spend his life with her. He want to hold her. He have noticed the pain behind her smile that she tries desperately to hide that indeed she hides from others. But he noticed it. He wants to take away all her pain and misery and protect her from the cruel world.

Sighing he went to his room and laid on the bed. He thought to call her but thinking that it was her last day with her family, he skipped the thought and let her spend her time with them. Unknown to him that it's nothing like that. He then fell asleep waiting for tomorrow as he would finally see her after a week.
