Shikhawat house,
Delhi.
1800 hours.

That evening, the Shikhawat house was a picture of warmth and celebration, glowing under the soft twinkle of fairy lights as everyone prepared for Rajveer and Naina's Greh Pravesh. The entrance, adorned with vibrant marigold garlands and intricate rangoli designs, radiated festivity and joy, reflecting the excitement within the household.

Inside, the family buzzed with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the couple's arrival. The air was filled with laughter and chatter as everyone finalized the last touches for the grand welcome.

Manik and his friends—Mukti, Cabir, Aliya, and Dhruv—had arrived early that morning, immediately getting to work on the decorations along with the Shikhawat family's youngsters. They had transformed the entrance of the house with fairy lights, and delicate floral arrangements, turning the entrance into a doorway to magical land. 

Arnav, who had been stuck in a meeting, rushed in two hours earlier, apologizing profusely for being late. Despite his tardiness, he immediately jumped in to help with whatever was needed, earning a few playful jabs from Manik for missing the hard work.

The Raizadas had arrived that afternoon, their presence adding even more warmth and cheer to the atmosphere. They too chipped in, helping with the arrangements, making the day feel like a true family affair.

Navya, who had come straight after her classes, was immediately enlisted as an honorary taste tester by Garima. Along with Daisy, the two enjoyed sampling the variety of dishes being prepared for the evening, their faces lighting up with excitement at the array of flavors.

In the kitchen, Garima, Madhumati, Shikha, Payel, and Kishori had been hard at work since the early morning. The delicious aromas of freshly cooked delicacies filled the house, tempting anyone who passed by. The women bustled around, preparing different kinds of food, ensuring that every detail was perfect for the special evening.

Amid the chaos, Kishori sent Shanno to help the youngsters with the decorations, jokingly adding, "We don't want anyone getting food poisoning today!" Her quip made everyone laugh, lightening the mood in the kitchen as they continued to prepare for the joyous occasion.

The house was alive with laughter, teamwork, and love, all focused on making Rajveer and Naina's first step into the Shikhawat home as they wanted the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of this house's entrance truly unforgettable.

Finally, the sound of a car pulling up to the Shikhawat house signaled the much-anticipated arrival. Lala and Dev, who had gone to the airport to pick up Rajveer and Naina, stepped out first, greeting the family with warm smiles. All eyes turned towards the car door in anticipation.

As Rajveer and Naina emerged, Naina's heart raced, a blend of nerves and excitement swirling inside her. Dressed in the stunning golden bridal lehenga Rajveer had thoughtfully gifted her, she looked every bit the glowing bride once again. The lehenga shimmered under the soft lights, enhancing her grace and beauty, while her bridal chuda jingled softly with every step. Rajveer, standing tall beside her in his sleek charcoal black suit, looked dashing and composed, yet his eyes were solely focused on Naina, a soft smile tugging at his lips.
