Upside downed umbrellas, yellow,pink and orange plain curtains, and colourfully coloured cushions and majlees seating arrangement... Ayush and Aarohi's Roka and Mehendi functions arrangement was more than fabulous !
They had taken a whole fort encircled area for the week long marriage functions..... It's large garden area was now arranged for their Mehendi function...
Ayush and his family took their seat opposite to that of Aarohi's family... Ayush eyes searched for Aarohi...
Finally she came in .. in her green themed dress with a heavy mirrored neckline and her waist length hair curled up... She always looked gorgeous with simple make up and her shining dimpled smile .. ..
Ayush looked nothing less.. He had his pyjama and coat in same green as Aaru's and his kurtha with a light blue shade.. Both looked like an already wed couple...
Aarohi came and sat opposite to Ayush... Ayu waved a hi.. and Aaru winked back to him.. and smile prevailed on her face which made Ayush stare at her for the rest of the time..
Mehendi function started.. Family members danced to the rhythmic beats of Dol.. Aaru and Ayu's family danced together.. while the bride and groom were seated ...
Suddenly an idea struck Ayush... He had never proposed Aaru.. which he always wanted to do.. but could not ... Now he thought this was the right time... everyone was busy and the road behind the fort was empty... He walked up to Aaru..
Ayu : Aaru.. will you come with me ..?
Aaru : I will come but where ? And we should tell'em...
( before Aaru could complete Ayu pulled her from the seat and walked away from the DJ and rush of their Mehendi function.
They walked fast and slowly their pace went slow as they reached the empty road leading to the fort's east gate... It was a little wet due to yesterday's rain and the atmosphere was a little clouded and cold wind rushed through their hair...
Aaru : why did you bring me here Ayush ?
Ayu : To talk ...
Aaru : Oh ! we could talk back there too !
Ayu : No we could not.. I wanted some moments of just US...
Aaru : oh..mm... okay !
Ayu : Aarohi.. i want t okay something....
Aaru : Sure.. continue... I am all ears..
Ayu : I Liked you from the day I saw you at Abhi's wedding.. i even saved a pic of yours .. but felt a hesitation to ask your name or whereabouts .... Then after two days when I came to your house and saw that the girl mom and dad selected for me was you i was just too over-happy ! ... When i went out with you.. I was pleased with myself that I did find a perfect match... I am more than just happy...
Aaru : aw .. that's so cute indeed... You saw me at Abhi's wedding is it ..? I remember you blocking my pathway to enter the mandap with Nikki...
Ayush and Aarohi smiled at each other...
Ayu : Hmm.. I know ..I was lost in your view.. anyways.. i wanted to say something else..
Aaru : Yeah.. please ....
Ayu : I Love You.. not just three words Aaru.. All seven promised of the Phere .. and all happiness of life is what i want to give you... Your space.. your freedom... your happiness will be of prime importance Aaru.. and don't worry.. I have re-scheduled my whole business timetable so that I will be with you for daily at least 6 hours... apart from sleep...
Aaru : Oh ! Ayu.. I was in total doubt whether I am ready for all this.. But now i am 100 % sure that I am ready to be your wife and your partner... You just clean bowled all my doubts.....
Ayush Phone rang.. It was Abhi ..
Abhi : where are you people..? Function is almost done and you people are not here ! Come back here where ever you are.. !
Ayu : Yeah man.. wait.. will be there in another 15 mnts...
Ayush smiled at Aarohi.. They were in love.. now significantly in love.. ... Ayush held Aarohi close to him... Kissed her forehead soulfully and Aarohi felt safe and happy with him...
They walked back.. In Love.. without doubts to be one another's... ....
As they reached back.. they noticed that only their family members were left back eating lunch.. all others had left...
They went and had lunch.. Ayu helped Aarohi have lunch as her hand was dipped in mehendi.. All others stared at them..
Ayu's mom was happy.. Her son was happy as she wanted... Aarohi made him happy.. Aaru made all of them happy.. and that's what she wanted......
Aaru's mom came beside her...
Aaru's mom : Rakhi.. Children are happy.. that's what we all want to see right ? then why are these tears here ..?
Ayu's mom : Its just tears of joy...
Aaru's mom : Now that too is not allowed here !
Ayu's mom : yes you are right...
And Ayu's mom wiped her tears off.. and They both walked back ..
Aarohi's doubts were over..... she was happy.. and knew was in perfect hands.....
All were happy... All were contented...
