Chapter 29
Nandini's POV :
Today, The Wedding Day! Finally it's happening. We already reached the venue and I was getting ready in the bridal room. My hair, makeup, dress up, shoes, flowers everything were done. I was sitting there with my bridesmaids. I was nervous but they didn't help. They were cracking super silly jokes.
"Nandu, what if Manik faints on the stage?" Shina asked, giggling.
"What faint, ask what if he ran away?" Mukti corrected.
"No no he won't dare to run. All of them are pretty scared of us after 'Beating Maddy session'." Navya winked.
"Navya, that's practically a very good reason for him to run." Aliya said and they all laugh.
"Wow, What happened to ur sense of humor girls. Is it sick? Because all this jokes are pathetic." I snapped.
"Hush.. Don't make the bride angry." Navya said and it caused them to laugh more.
"On a serious note, we want all the details of ur marriage life." Mukti said and I scowled.
"Why so?" I hissed.
"Experience u know. We will have an idea how is it." Aliya said.
"And u should definitely make a to do list on ur honeymoon." Shina said.
"Do it look like a experiment?" I asked.
"To us? Yes." They said and I rolled my eyes.
My Mother entered and u can say that she was pissed.
"Your dress is supposed to be in red." Her mother glared..
"See there is red, here too, here, there..."
"Shut up." Mom cut me off.
"Mom, Don't worry.. Ain't I looking pretty?"
"Of course u do after all u are my daughter. But does Manik knows.."
"No. That's a surprise for him." I laughed.
"Don't worry aunty. she did wear red, a special surprise for Manik when he..."
"I don't need to know what lingerie my daughter wore underneath her dress."
"Mom!"
"What Mom! Come on it's time."
"Did he come?" I asked softly.
"He did."
"I hope he doesn't create any scene."
"He won't honey.. Trust me."
We came out of the room and saw my father standing there. He was having a clouded face. He gave me his hand and I accepted. After all that would be the last thing I get from him.
My Bridesmaids were wearing magenta color gown and they had white roses in thier hand... The music started and they walked ahead of us slowly.. As no kid was available so no flower girl and ring man.
I was looking at the hall and it was decorated beautifully. The chairs were cover with red chair-cover with white bow. White flower vases with red flower were both side of the aisle. Tables were covered with white table clothes and decorations over the tables were all red. Red flowers and crystals dangling here and there.
It was time and we step inside the hall. Everyone was happy. I felt like I stepped into a fairytale. Dad and I didn't talk, totally not. But then he said, "All the best for ur future. Can't do more than this." I nodded.
Manik was standing there waiting for me looking handsome in a black tuxedo. He saw me and gave the totally unexpected reaction. I expected him to be angry but he smirked.
My Father handed me to him and Manik was smirking.
" You look beautiful in red and white.." he whispered
"I thought u would be angry."
"I knew what u were doing my love."
"How?!"
The priest cleared his throat and start saying things they say in all the wedding. I stared down at the red roses I had in my hands.
The moment is here.. We said our vows, facing each other. I even cried because that's really happening. Once it was a dream of mine to marry the guy I love. It seemed impossible but Manik make it happen.
"Do u take Nandini Murthy as ur lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you take Manik Malhotra as ur lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Now I pronounce u as husband abd and wife. U may kiss the bride."
Manik came closer and leaned near me.
"Finally I officially claim u, my star."
"Ur star."
He smiled and kissed me softly. Everyone cheered and clapped for us. He broke the kiss and whispered.
"Be ready for tonight." I widen my eyes and he winked at me all the while smirking.
"Manik, keep ur dirty talk for later." Cabir said..
"What dirty?"
"U did whisper something dirty if not then why her whole face is red?" Cabir said wiggling his eyebrows.
"I will see u at ur wedding."
The reception was going on full swing. Everyone was dancing, drinking and guess where cabir was?
Of course near the food stall. He even dragged Navya there saying he didn't want any jerk to flirt with her.
"Hello, Mrs Malhotra." Manik said hugging from behind.
"Hello, Mr. Malhotra." I replied leaning over him.
"Time for the cake."
We cut the red velvet cake and fed each other.. Arya wanted a cake fight but one glare from Cabir and he gave up.
Manik brought me to the dance floor for our second dance.. We started moving slowly, looking at each other.
"What those aunties were saying to u?" Manik asked and I laughed..
"Well.. They were saying Nandin, are u sure it's ok for u to drink wine."
"Why? Wasn't it good?" Manik frowned. I laughed hard.
"Aww.. U are so cute. They thought I am pregnant and a pregnant woman can't drink."
"They are still talking about it? Come on!"
"Let them talk.. And I already had couple of drinks so I guess they understand now."
"Are u ready for the plan?"
"To see her face? Yes!"
"Ok everyone the plan.. I mean plane is ready so we need to leave now." Manik said urgently behaving like it was supposed to be later.
"The plane is early!" Dhruv said..
"Yaap.."
"Manik, Nandini then u have to get going." Manik's dad said.
"Ok but first throw the bouquet." Manik's Mom said..
So single ladies started to gather behind me. I acted like I am throwing, throwing but never throw it. I turned and ran towards Mukti who was far away from the crowd.
"Wait! What are u doing?" She said as I handed her the flowers. I moved back and Abhi kneeled in front of her.
"I know u are not ready but I really want our relationship to move one step ahead. I already told you so many times how much I love u and if u even reject me now, I won't mind. But let me tell u, we will go through everything together bad, good, happiness, sadness everything. So, Will u marry me Mukti?"
Everyone was holding their breath totally pin drop silence. I just hope that boldness ki devi don't make any stupid decision.
" Who told u I am not ready, dumbass?" There ladies and gentlemen her answer.
After Mukbhi got engaged, we bid bye to everyone and went for the airport to our honeymoon destination. Where? I don't know. He said it's a surprise. The private jet was beautiful with modern decor and facilities. Manik gave a tour inside of the jet.
Lastly he brought me to a room which exactly look like a bedroom. He locked the door and smirked at me.
"Finally alone. Time for ur punishment for outsmarting me on ur wedding dress."
