The Enchanted Love✨ [Barsatein]

Chapter 42

The courtyard of the Sahani house was filled with laughter and the rich scent of freshly mixed mehndi. It was lively and brimming with joy as Aradhana's mehndi ceremony began. Strings of marigolds hung from every corner, their bright orange hue adding to the festive atmosphere. Guests dressed in colorful attire gathered, eager to witness Aradhana's mehndi ceremony, a special moment that symbolized love, tradition, and unity.

Strings of marigolds and fairy lights adorned every corner, casting a warm glow over the gathering. Aradhana's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sahani, were busy greeting guests with heartfelt smiles, ensuring everyone felt welcome. They moved gracefully around the gathering, sharing warm exchanges and laughter, radiating pride as their eldest daughter prepared for this beautiful step in her life.

Aradhana's outfit💌

Aradhana, draped in a beautiful sea green lehenga, sat on a velvet cushion, her hands carefully held out as the mehndi artist began painting intricate patterns. She could feel the cool, intricate patterns forming on her palms and wrists, swirling down her fingers, and stretching over her arms. The artist was skillfully weaving Reyansh's name into the delicate designs—a little secret nestled amidst the floral patterns that only she and Reyansh would know how to find.
Her green lehenga shimmered under the lights, and a faint blush graced her cheeks. Next to her sat Pooja, her best friend, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she nudged Aradhana. . "So, Radhi, are you excited or nervous?" she asked, nudging her friend gently.

Aradhana blushed, glancing away. "Maybe a bit of both."

Pooja chuckled 'okay!' So, 'are you ready to be Mrs. Reyansh?" she teased.

Aradhana laughed, her eyes shining. "Maybe a little too ready!"

Mrs. Sahani joined, her face glowing with pride and a hint of nostalgia. "Oh, I remember my own mehndi! Those were the days," she sighed, while the ladies around shared knowing smiles.

Pooja sat beside her, grinning from ear to ear Pooja smirked & said Radhi, "Once Reyansh finds his name hidden in there he will be proven as a Ashiqo ka Ashiq (in a dramatic way), let's see if he can pass the test of love!"

Reyansh's outfit✨

On the other side of the room, Reyansh, looking regal in a light maroon kurta. Vikram, had managed to convince him to get mehndi on his hand, a playful twist on tradition. As the artist began, Reyansh found himself a little out of place but secretly thrilled—he'd have Aradhana's name written on his palm, a mark he'd carry with pride.

Vikram leaned over, chuckling. "Didn't think I'd see the day when Mr. Stoic Reyansh would sit still for mehndi!"

Reyansh laughed. "Well, where Aradhana's name is involved, I guess some traditions are worth following

Meanwhile
Jagruti, couldn't resist joining the teasing. "Didi, if the mehndi gets darker, they say it means your husband will love you even more!"

Aradhana's cheeks turned a shade darker as she playfully replied, "Then I hope it's the darkest mehndi anyone's ever seen!"

The elders chuckled, and Mr. Lamba joined the teasing, "Reyansh, I hope you're ready. Finding your name in Aradhana's mehndi is the first test for you as her husband!" & also added, 'how stressed I was to find my name on your mother's hand during our mehndi' . Meanwhile Mrs. Lamba said, 'You are being dramatic'

The guests burst into laughter, and as the mehndi was completed, Aradhana admired the delicate patterns on her hands. She found Reyansh's name tucked away, hidden like a secret treasure.

Across the room, Reyansh also examined his hand, feeling the quiet joy of having her name marked on him. Their eyes met, a silent promise in their gaze.

Now it was time for Reyansh to find out his name on Aradhana's hand. Jagruti asked Reyansh, 'Jo jeejes r u ready' which Reyansh replied, 'born ready'. Pooja replied, 'woh toh waqt he batayega Dulhe Ji ki aap ready ho ya...' & everyone started laughing hysterically. Vikram being Vikram & knowing the stress was a moral support of Reyansh. Vikram, 'ha thik hai thik hai we will see about that'

Reyansh took Aradhana's hand delicately & started finding his name though he was pretending to be a macho man but andar se uske fatt rahe thi. But after a lot of struggle Reyansh was finally able to found his name on Aradhana's hand. & everyone was aww struck seeing them.

But it was not the end, When Reyansh showed his Mehndi where he wrote the name of love of his life 'Aradhana' it made everyone smile genuinely & the surprised look that Aradhana had in her face & most importantly her smile showed Reyansh how happy she was was worth it.
Mr & Mrs Sahani looked at each other & knew Aradhana chose the right partner for herself.

The celebration continued with traditional songs and laughter, with Aradhana's and Reyansh's parents joining in, each family sharing in the beauty of tradition and togetherness.

Later at that night,
Aradhana called Reyansh

Aradhana: what is this Reyansh
Reyansh: what happened baby
Aradhana: I didn't expect it from you
Reyansh: but what did I do
Aradhana: Reyansh my mehndi
Reyansh: your mehndi (being terrified)
