The following ceremonies took place with so much vibes ,Vardaan and Meera presented a drama on Sameer and Durga's love over the years during the sangeet.Many distinguished and respectable guests attended the ceremony.The D-day had come,the long awaited day was here."How remarkable!"Sargum screamed in the morning as she watched the Gupta residence being decorated,Dheer was running around as usual making sure that everything was ready"you should be checking on the caterers Sargum not watching the decorators."Simran called out ,the house was busy and and Arjun arranged for extra help.Everyonehad something doing in both the bride and groom's houses.
"I want all the important people to be taken care of All my guests must be in the guest lists.It should be done as discussed."Durga ranted over the phone.
"I've let you have more than enough phone calls come on,drop the phone."Radha interrupted.
"Your very reliable, I know you'll take care of everything but just one more call."
"No Radha,don't let her else the calls will keep coming,consider Sam today Durga , everything must be on time.Isn't that what you said last night."Meera joined.
"Your right,it should be perfect."Durga responded while dropping the phone"this is going to be a whole new experience for you besides you two are a right match ."Radha said bringing clothes and jewelleries to the room.
"How was today planned anyway?"
"There'll be a small reception to welcome the guests.Sam's business partners and friends from London will be present.Then the wedding and another closing reception before I leave."
"It's a grand affair."Meera laughed.
"Yes and so much to do as well."
"Don't be distracted ladies,there's alot to do."
"Peraphs later.I'll be leaving my mum and dad .It is difficult but I don't regret."

Sameer arrived with his family during the first reception and was joined by Durga later.The reception had quite some games , singing,and dancing.Sam introduced Durga to Mr Benjamin"Nice to finally meet you."
"It's a pleasure sir."
"And his daughter Sugni Singh Jackson."Sam continued,Durga shook the girl's extended hand"I've heard about you from Sameer."
"Just like he's told me about you miss Durga ."
"I hope be hasn't said anything bad about me."
"Not at all miss Durga,only nice things."
An hour later,the first reception was over and the wedding rituals were being observed.
"You look beautiful my dear."Simran said as she stared at a dressed up Durga ."Thanks mum "
"This is alot for me to take in but I'll adjust."
"Don't talk as though I won't come over, I'll come as often as I can."Durga promised"don't feel obligated.I suggest you spend more time with Sameer and his family instead and if you have time,you may come over."
"I greatly appreciate you for supporting I and Sameer from the beginning."
"There's no need for all these formalities.You've made me forget that I'm here to call you downstairs.Everyone is waiting."Simran said and gave Durga a hug "let's go down now."
Durga descended the stairs with her friends and mother,it was an intense moment as Arjun kissed her forehead and wished her the best of luck as she was embarking on a new journey."Enjoy the day."he said before letting her go to the mandrap for the main ceremony.
Durga sat on a stool beside Sameer and stared into the fire when Sameer whispered"the time has come Durga ."he smiled at her and she could feel her face turning red.The time had finally come and there was no need to runaway.
