The auto driver took almost 45 minutes to reach the destination. Aarohi continued to pray in her entire journey, when she reaches she quickly gets down from the auto and pays the auto driver.
She knew she couldn't get inside from the entrance of her house so she tried getting inside from the back door. Aarohi quitely sneaked into the house and was walking upstairs when she heard someone calling her, "Aaru, wait!"
Just by hearing the voice she understood who it was, slowly she turned back to see Anirudh standing infront of her with his hands crossed against his chest.
"Ye..yes bhai..what happened?" She said avoiding eye contact with him
"Where were you?" asked Anirudh in a deep voice
"Umm...morning walk! I had gone for a morning walk" She replied with a forced smile on her face.
"Shaam ke 6 30 baje tu konse morning walk pe gayi thi Aaru? huh??" Asked Anirudh narrowing his eyes
Aarohi realised what she was saying, she was scared of Anirudh that's why she herself didn't know what she was saying, "woh...umm..uhh.."
Anirudh moved towards her and patted on her head, "Aaru, you know how much worried we were? Thankfully Maa doesn't know that you were not at home or else you know what could have happened!"
"I'm sorry bhai...but what's my fault! I had an important patient in the hospital, her condition was very critical...I couldn't sit here even after knowing that I have my patient waiting there for me." Said Aarohi
"Ooof! anyways...now quickly go and get ready...I'm going directly going to the venue, Akku will come with you....and one more thing" Said Anirudh
"what?" asked Aarohi
"I can't wait to see you in your bridal attire!!! All the best Aaru!" Said Anirudh and left.
------------------------------------------------------------
Here, Arhaan's Baraat had already arrived. There were lightings, firecrackers, music everywhere. It looked as if the entire Mumbai was showering it's blessings to Aarohi and Arhaan. Their wedding was a shock to everyone, People all around were only talking about their marriage.
Mahima Ji performed all the rituals before taking Arhaan to the wedding mandap. While Arhaan was waiting for Aarohi, Veeransh and Ikshit were constantly teasing him.
Veeransh says with a smirk ,"Bhai! Where are you going to take bhabi for your honeymoon huh??"
Arhaan coughs slightly before replying, "Bada bhai hun tera, sharam nhi aati yeh sab puchne mein?!"
(I'm m your elder brother! Don't you have some manners Veer??)
Ikshit keeps a hand on Arhaan's shoulders and says, "Bro! I still can't believe you are actually getting married...are you scared?"
Arhaan chuckles, "Me? And Scared? In your dreams Ikshit! Arhaan Oberoi is never Scared of anything...I repeat NEVER."
Ikshit smiles and says," Well...I know Arhaan Oberoi is not scared of anyone...but..."
Arhaan raises his eyebrows and says, "But? but what??"
"But....Aarohi Singhaniya is not less than anyone.. remember that!" Says Ikshit
Arhaan smirks and replies, "I know I know, Aarohi.....she's just like fire....hot and dangerous at the same time! But...I love to play fire..."
Before Ikshit could say something, the priest started his rituals with Arhaan and asked both of them to leave.
------------------------------------------------------------
By now Aarohi was completely dressed in her red coloured lehenga, with pure gold jewelleries hung around her neck.
Her hairs tied into a bun, she had worn a red lipstick which matched her outfit.
She was looking absolutely gorgeous!
After she got ready, she took a picture in her hand and said, "Maa! Look at your Aaru....your little Aaru is getting married today. I wish you were here today to see your daughter in her wedding attire" she kissed the photograph, "I love you maa...be happy always"
"Di...are you ready?" Asked Akruti as she entered the room.
But before she could ask something else, she saw Aarohi holding their mother's picture and silent tears were falling from her eyes.
She almost ran and gave a hug to Aarohi.
"Akku? When did you come??" Said Aarohi wiping her tears.
"Di...are you missing maa?" Asked Akruti
Aarohi nodded in yes, "Don't you miss maa? Hmm?"
Akruti thought for a while then replied, "No....I don't miss her cause I have you!"
Aarohi separated herself from Akruti and asked, "What...what do you mean?"
"Di ....I have you! Ever since maa left this world..you are my everything! you have treated me like your child...rather than your sister! I couldn't spend much time with her...but I have spent my entire life with you...for me you are both my Mom and Dad!" Replied Akruti
Aarohi kissed her cheeks and said, "Mera baccha! Let's go now!! Shall we?"
After this both of them left for the mandap.
------------------------------------------------------------
Here, the priest had asked to call Aarohi. Arhaan and both of their families were waiting for Aarohi. Till now except Akruti, no one had seen her wedding attire.
Arhaan was constantly checking his watch, suddenly he heard the entire croud shouting loudly. When he looked upwards, he saw Aarohi walking down the aisle.
Arhaan's POV:
As soon as I looked up, I was stunned for a moment. All of a sudden , all the voices in my head went quiet. I couldn't hear or think anything that time!
The only thing that filled my eyes and mind was my bride! Aarohi.
In that red wedding gown, the jewelleries, that red lipstick, the way she looked down to avoid eye contacts, that smile on her lips. It...it drove me crazy. It felt as...as if I had forgotten how to breathe. She was looking like a goddess...
God!! She was looking breathtaking!! I patted by chest, I could feel my heartbeat increases. I had to remind myself, breathe Arhaan breathe!
POV ends
Aarohi walked towards Arhaan, and sat beside him. Arhaan was still looking at her. Even though Arhaan wanted to say a lot of things, but when he opened his mouth to speak all he could say was, "Thank you, Thank you Aarohi"
Aarohi looked at him and replied, "You don't need to thank me! I'm doing this only for our families"
Arhaan didn't react to her reply, he knew the reason behind this behaviour of hers, he had made it very clear that Arhaan was getting married only for his mother's happiness and that he would never be able to love Aarohi.
Arhaan didn't say anything further and focused on the rituals.
