Melting Hearts

Part 103 - Promises

***Sahana's P. O. V ***

The wedding ceremonies continued, and along with Arush, I stood and watched as my brother finally married the love of his wife. Both of them looked so happy, that it forced tears of happiness to my own eyes!

And when bhai finally put his mangalsutra around Ahana and vermilion on her hair-partition, a single tear escaped his eyes, and we all cooed ad Ahana wiped his tear - could they get any more adorable?

Once the bride and the groom - the new husband and wife - walked down the dias to take the blessings of the parents and grandparents, I turned around to find Arush sniffling his tears away as he watched his sister with my brother, both finally married.

"My baby sister got married" he choked as he wrapped his arms around me.

"She got married to the guy who loves her as much as she loves him" I smiled at Arush, wiping his tears away.

"HE will keep her happy" he murmured.

"Just like how she'll keep him happy" I nodded as we watched bhai help Ahana bhabhi adjust the dupatta over her head.

"And we'll get married the day after tomorrow" Arush smiled.

"Hello love birds" bhai's voice snapped Arush and me back to reality.

"Congratulations bachcha" Arush hugged Ahana, kissing the top of her head.

"Congratulations bhai... And bhabhi" I winked at them, hugging them both.

"I've never been this happy in my life" bhai sniffed as he gazed at his blushing bride.

"You both look so good together" Arush sniffed as he hugged bhai, and the two men got to crying!

"Shush now Rey.." Ahana began, patting bhai's arm consolingly.

"C'mon Arush.." I too trailed off, patting Arush's arm.

"Now that the wedding is over... Time for some post wedding celebrations and ceremonies I think.." Papa's voice trailed off in the background.

"Yes.. where's Reyansh's juthi?" Mom asked.

"I've locked it in the dressing room" I grinned, handing over the keys to bhai.

"Shit! I forgot to steal the juthi!!" Arush face-palmed himself as everyone began to giggle.

"Premika k dhun mein magdh ho to kya hi expect kar sakte hai aap se bhai?" Ahana winked, to which everyone chuckled again.

"Ab woh ho hi itni khubsurat... Kya karein?!" Arush shrugged, making everyone coo!

"First we can get the pictures clicked I think? Whilst the bride and groom ready for the reception?" Arush's mother suggested.

So, whilst bhai and bhabhi left to have lunch and then get ready for the reception, the other guests queued up for photographs in front of the photo-booth, whilst others went for lunch.

Arush had gotten the photographer to click mine and his picture at the beginning, so we could just sit and relax for a bit before the reception.

"How much would you wanna bet that they're going for some quickie in there?" I winked at Arush, indicating bhai and Ahana bhabhi as they took a detour towards one of the dressing rooms instead of making their way downstairs for the lunch.

"This does gives me some idea for our wedding day too!" Arush winked, sending blood rushing to my cheeks.

"But they don't have a lot of time!! They need to eat and then get ready for the reception... Ahana's lehenga is very heavy and she needs to sit and take some rest... she was saying that her back was aching..." I trailed off, biting my lip.
