34. Wedded

*1 YEAR LATER*

The soft splashing sound of the ocean waves and the calling of the seagulls were only the background noise to what was actually how the beach really sounded currently. A few hundred people were gathered on the sand, sitting in rows on white wooden chairs with a big red bow tied on the back of each, cheering away as they whooped and clapped. Indian songs were also being played at an appropriate volume through large speakers which were wedged into the sand. The setting and the scenery of the place was quite picturesque and exactly how Zayn and Deepika wanted it to be.

"I can't believe this is actually happening." Nolee said sitting in the front row alongside Leo and Toby.

"The fact we're all back here too." Leo grinned.

"The place where it all started." Toby shook his head smiling.

In the centre in front of all the rows of chairs, was a slightly raised red carpeted platform put in place which had a red and white canopy draped over it, holding a fancy white cushioned loveseat in the centre. Standing before it were Zayn and Deepika, dressed in Pakistani wedding attire, accompanied by their parents.

It was the wedding of Zayn and Deepika, and it was taking place where they had first fallen in love. In Melbourne, Australia on the beach of The Sandy Cabana. The marriage rituals of both the Muslim and Hindu tradition, were done and the newly wedded couple couldn't have been more ecstatic. They both seemed to never stop smiling.

Everyone close to the couple were invited besides their large families which consisted of many relatives. From the groom's side, Asha and her family were flown in and Zayn had paid for their flight expenses since Asha had helped him out a few years back. From the bride's side, Meena, a couple of people who were very close to her at work and Sidharth were invited. Deepika had also given Shahrukh Khan the invitation to her wedding since he too had been there for her when she was going through her dark times, and he had gladly accepted. But the actress kept it a secret from her to-be husband to surprise him on the wedding day. Mrs. Sonya was also invited since the couple believed if it wasn't for her who had planned the trip three years ago for the final year, the two would have remained enemies. Lastly for having the venue for the wedding be on the property of The Sandy Cabana, Eric was also asked to join them for the celebration.

A lot had happened over the course of the past year since Zayn and Deepika had gotten engaged. Few months later Deepika was awarded actress of the year due to her astounding work in the film with King Khan, and he too had won actor of the year for the nth time. Zayn too won a couple of awards regarding his albums, singles, music videos and not to mention winning favorite artist a couple of times at different award shows. Deepika also had made the big decision of moving to London, to move in with her fiancé. Whenever she was needed in India for filming or other events, she would take a flight down there. Zayn's family finally had the chance to meet the girl he nonstop talked about and she was liked by everyone instantly. The planning for the wedding was also taking place as they both anxiously waited for the day to arrive soon. The media of both the east and west always had their scoops on what was going on in the lives of the hottest couple in the entertainment industry. Everyone was excited alongside the couple for the big day to arrive.

It was time for the rings to get exchanged. The groom took the ring from his mother and held the bride's hand with the other, before slipping the band on. The blushing bride proceeded to do the same, but she was abruptly stopped.

"Stop this wedding!" a female's voice shrieked causing everyone's heads to turn and gasp.

A Caucasian girl of average height with auburn hair, wearing a black short dress walked down the aisle leading up to the stage. She looked furious as her heels pounded against the narrow red carpet that was laid out.
