... A few months later...

...A family of four drove around on the curvy, narrow roads leading to Rajasthan, a young lady and her brother sat at the back of the car in their own worlds; their phones. Nikita the beautiful lady of twenty three years looked down at her phone to see a photo of her lover and a tear escaped from the corner of her eye. She quickly brushed it away and plugged her headphones into her ears, a sad song played and she looked out of the window at the gorgeous sights that passed but her mind was far from taking anything in.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" she thought to herself; "...Why do I need to go through this torture...?"

Her mind flashed with an image of her first love; and she closed her eyes thinking of the first time she had met him.

Flashback

"Hey..."

Nikita turned around and looked into a pair of gorgeous brown eyes; "Yes?" she asked unsure.

He nodded clumsily; "I'm new to this collage and I've been told to ask you out on a date..." he said looking into her eyes; "...but I've been told not to tell you my name..."

Nikita saw him look over his shoulder at the collage's popular gang who were watching them and rolled her eyes; she knew them to well but also liked the look of this guy.

"Okay..." she smiled at him; "...I'll go on a date with you..."

"Wow...really?" he smiled victoriously; "...That's great...I'll meet you outside of the girls hall at seven tonight?" he asked her still unsure of the situation.

"Sure..." she smiled at him.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Niki..." she replied.

He gave her a quick nod and said bye before turning around but stopped a moment later as he heard "Hey..."

"Yeah?" he turned to look at her.

"What do I call you...?" she asked with a sneaky grin; "...you can't tell me your name..."

"Call me Jaanu..." he smiled at her walking backwards with a cute smile...

"Okay...Jaanu..."

End of Flashback

"I still love you...and always will..." she thought as another tear ran down her cheek...

...Another young lady got out of the car and looked around at her surroundings with a huge smile on her face and the excitement building up inside of her made her squeal with joy. She turned to her friend and they both exchanged happy smiles before making their way towards the huge Haveli, the Royal Mansion, looking around as they went. They had now walked into the main hall and was mesmerized by the decor of this ancient building; she was so excited that words couldn't explain her feelings.

"Muskaaaannn..." Riddhima squealed as she swirled around in circles and looked up at the high ceiling, "...we're finally here...! I'm so happy..."

Muskaan smiled "I can see that..." sitting down on one of the chairs as she watched her best friend.

Riddhima stopped for a moment and looked around moving her hands as she began to speak, "...This is a dream come true...I just can't believe it...it's going to be so much fun...everyone's going to come...all the rituals are going to take place...it's just going to be GRAND!"

Muskaan nodded, "Of course...after all its Shri Shashank Gupta's one and only daughter's marriage is taking place...and not to forget...to the richest minister's son in the whole of India...the most eligible bachelor..."

Riddhima smiled in return, "...Of course...I just can't wait till it all begins..." she giggled, "...fun...masti...lights...decoration...music...dance..." she begun to spin around again.

Muskaan looked over at her friend and laughed shaking her head. When Riddhima had finally calmed down and sat down next to her she became a little serious and looked directly at her.

"Ridz..." Muskaan called out to her but stopped to think of how to question her friend.

"Yes Muski..." she answered.

"Are you sure..."

Riddhima cut her off and looked around calling out to one of the servants, "...Suniye..." (Listen)

The servant walked over to the two girls and stood in front of them with his head bent slightly, "Ji memsab..." (Yes ma'am)

"Kuch peene ko milega...bohot pyaas lagi hain..." ordered Riddhima. (Can I have something to drink, I'm really thirsty...)

The servant replied; "Ji memsab...abhi laya..." (Yes ma'am...I'll just get it), he then walked away leaving the girls alone.

Riddhima then turned back to Muskaan with a smile; "Shall we walk around..."

Muskaan rolled her eyes knowing that her friend was avoiding her question and gave her a wary smile; "Come on then..."

They both stood up and walked through the halls of the Haveli towards the garden area. Riddhima continuously talked about her upcoming wedding and all that would be taking place during the next few weeks. The servant had returned and found them standing on the terrace looking out over the open garden area and had handed them glasses of fresh juice which went down nicely on the hot day.

After sometime they made their way to their rooms and were yet again mesmerised by the beauty of it. Walking through the halls they noticed each room had their own mahogany style four-poster bed covered with drapes, beautifully woven rugs, wooden chest drawers and cupboards and a massive window looking out to a beautiful view of fields. They had chosen their room and made themselves comfortable; deciding to take a short nap after the long journey they had making their way to the Haveli...
