It was the wedding morning. Shivaay speaks into Anika's room without the family's notice. On finding her, still sleeping, snuggling into her comforter. He pulled the duvet off her."Anika, wake up!" Shivaay whispered, trying to wake her up but she was in no mood too.
"Shivaay let me sleep, Just five minutes." She whined pulling the comforter back on to her, snuggling into it.
"Anika it's your marriage today and you're still sleeping." Shivaay commented, jerking her.
"So what? What does Wedding do with my sleep?" Anika asked, sitting up, rubbing her drops eyes and he giggled, passing the latte cup to her.
"Shivaay I'll just go to the washroom, You wait in balcony." Anika said, walking into the wash room.
Shivaay goes to the balcony, by then Avinash enters her room and notices shivaay standing in the balcony.
"Hey Shivaay." Avinash greeted, standing beside Shivaay and Shivaay greeted back.
"So latte for Anika?" Avinash asked eyeing the cup of latte and Shivaay blushed, nodding his head.
"Haha, I miss her nowadays. Even I used to prepare a cup of latte for her every morning." Avinash spoke out reviving their memories and shivaay smiled.
"Shivaay I don't want to have a discussion like a typical Indian father but I just want to convey that please don't hurt her at any cost and don't leave her because, if her loved ones hurt her or leave her it's not easy for her to recover, after my wife's death she went into depression I don't want that to happen please. I can understand that your marriage is happening with in no time and it is difficult for you both to adjust in this relationship but somewhere I feel that you both are made for each other." Avinash lamented his heart and Shivaay nodded.
"Uncle, There is no need to worry about it. I am happy with her and completely wish to be in this relation. I'll not leave not in this birth and I understand it takes sometime time to adjust but trust me this would be the one amongst the best relations of my family." Shivaay assured, drawing a genuine smile form Avinash.
"So ready to bear my devil for your lifetime." Avinash joked, en lighting the atmosphere.
"Anika?" Shivaay asking, chuckling at the word and Avinash nodded.
"Well, for me she is an Angel." Shivaay contradicted and Avinash let out a laugh, patting his shoulder, walking away.
Anika barges into the balcony uttering a sorry. Smiling at her, he lasses the cup of latte to her.
"Why does your dad address you as a Devil?" Shivaay asks, cocking his eyebrows and Anika smiles.
"Papa calls me a devil because, if someone gets closer to me by heart, I'll love that person with all my might and that person is my life. I'll share all my secrets with them, spend time with them and much more, I would be carefree bird that time. Even at times I would behave strangely, possessive. They have to bear my anger, jealousy, love, pain everything. Some times I get mad that I start to shout at them without any reason bug still they should make me understand. I love to trouble them but I can't see if any one else give pain to them or hurt then. I don't miss a single chance to tease or taunt them cause that person is the special people in my life. So, that special people in my life are Papa and Gauri." Anika replied, lamenting herself and Shivaay smiled wishing that we could that special person in her life.
"Get Ready." He uttered, kissing her forehead and walked away, surprising her. She smiled and caressed the skin where he kissed her.
In the afternoon, All the arrangements were done for the Big fat wedding of Shivaay and Anika. Gauri and Prinku giggled entering Anika's bedroom draped in embroidered choli and lehengas.
"Dii, You're looking so beautiful." Gauri beamed, hugging her from behind.
"Yea Bhabhi, Bhavya wouldn't even dare to avert his gaze from you." Priyanaka complimented and Anika blushed, glancing herself in the mirror.
In shivaay's room,
"You are looking handsome, Shivaay." Om complimented, caressing his suit and Rudra giggled.
"Yeah yeah, After all, He is Rudra's eldest brother right." Rudra self boasted and Shivom rolled their eyes.
Shivaay smiled and glanced at his reflection in mirror, giving himself a final touch.
Shivaay walked downstairs with his brothers OmRu and Anika was was led downstairs by Gauri and Prinku. Shivaay smiled and gestured a beautiful to Anika. Blushing at him, Anika mouthed back a thank you.Pandit instructs the bride and bridegroom to sit down. Shivaay and Anika. Chanting the mantras, He calls our Avinash for the Kanyadan.
After the Kanyadan, They exchange garlands and the ghatbhandan was done by Priyanka and Gauri. Interlocking their little fingers, they took the seven pehras.
