whispers in DARK

Chapter 16

On the day of the wedding, Keerthi felt like she was floating. The venue was adorned with twinkling fairy lights and vibrant flowers, reflecting the joy in her heart. She could hear the soft hum of laughter and chatter from their closest friends and family, all gathered to celebrate the love that had blossomed against the odds.

As she stood in front of the mirror, wearing her stunning white dress, her mother’s words echoed in her mind: “This day is about love and commitment, the beautiful journey you’re beginning with Krish.” She felt a wave of gratitude wash over her—grateful for her family’s support, for Krish, and for the way their relationship had grown stronger through adversity.

Finally, it was time. Keerthi took a deep breath and stepped out to walk down the aisle. As she approached the altar, her eyes locked with Krish’s, and everything else faded away. He stood there, looking dapper in his suit, his expression a mix of love and awe.

The ceremony was beautiful, filled with heartfelt vows and promises of a shared future. “I promise to stand by you, through every challenge and every joy,” Krish said, his voice steady but filled with emotion. Keerthi felt tears of happiness brimming in her eyes as she vowed to love and support him unconditionally.

As they exchanged rings, Krish’s parents watched with pride, their earlier misunderstandings now transformed into a deep sense of acceptance and joy. This union represented more than just a marriage; it was a testament to the power of love and understanding.

Once they were pronounced husband and wife, cheers erupted from their loved ones. Krish pulled Keerthi into a passionate kiss, sealing their promises in that moment.

The reception that followed was a joyous celebration, filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt speeches. Keerthi’s heart swelled as she watched Krish interact with his parents, their bond stronger than ever. They had come so far from the misunderstandings that once defined their relationship, and now they were embracing the love that surrounded them.

As the night went on, Krish took Keerthi’s hand, leading her to the dance floor. The music faded into a slow, romantic melody, and they moved together, lost in each other’s eyes. “I can’t believe we’re really married,” Krish whispered, a smile spreading across his face.

“Me neither,” Keerthi replied, her heart full. “I’m so grateful for everything that led us here.”

“Me too,” he said, pulling her closer. “Every challenge made us stronger, and I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.”

As they swayed to the music, Krish leaned down, kissing her forehead. “You’re my everything, Keerthi. I promise to always support you, just like you’ve supported me.”

“And I promise to always believe in us,” she replied, feeling the warmth of their love envelop them.

As the evening drew to a close, they stood hand in hand, looking out at the people who had come to celebrate their love. Krish’s father approached them, a soft smile on his face. “I’m so proud of both of you. You’ve shown us the importance of love and family.”

“Thank you, Dad. Your support means the world to us,” Krish said, his voice filled with gratitude.

Keerthi chimed in, “We’re excited for what the future holds for all of us.”

As they shared a moment of unity, Keerthi felt a sense of fulfillment wash over her. She realized that love was not just about the grand moments, but also about the small, everyday gestures—supporting each other, facing fears together, and finding joy in the journey.

Months later, as they settled into married life, Keerthi and Krish often reflected on their journey. They explored new places, deepened their love, and supported each other’s dreams. Keerthi’s design career flourished, while Krish thrived in his work, feeling confident and secure in the love that surrounded him.

One evening, as they sat on their balcony, watching the sunset, Keerthi leaned her head on Krish’s shoulder. “Can you believe how far we’ve come?” she asked, her heart full of love.

“Not for a second. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Every challenge made this moment so much sweeter,” Krish replied, wrapping his arms around her.

As the last rays of sunlight disappeared, Keerthi turned to him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “What’s next for us?”

Krish chuckled, “How about planning our next adventure? The world is waiting for us, and I can’t wait to explore it with you by my side.”

With that promise hanging in the air, they embraced, knowing that no matter what the future held, they would face it together—hand in hand, heart in heart. The journey of love, with all its whispers in the dark, had only just begun.
