Chapter 69 — Wedding Day

Third Person's POV 

Early in the morning, she was staring at her reflection on the mirror. Her reflection shows up her blushing red expression. She is in her red gown, it's her morning dress, as today is the wedding day. Her wave curled hairs are falling behind her shoulder and caught up with her waist.

Samarth donned into his tuxedo and paced to her. He gently swivelled her to face and placed a soft kiss on her temple. Automatically he cheeks are competing with her red dress, a blush hovers over her delicate smile. He asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, " She pecked on his cheek.

"And don't do overload work, if today you will collapse because of weakness, people will definitely reckon that you are..." Hence, Samarth couldn't complete his words and cut off by Aradhya.

"Shut up, anything you will, " She retorted angrily and also pushed him back.

"Take care, " He said laughingly. She nods and paced out of the room.

The marriage ceremony is in the evening, so they are doing adjustment and checking the preparation. Aradhya is hell busy with Dadi and Mamta. Mamta is not the lessor than a mother figure for Sakshi and Samarth.

She gets inside the room, "Dii, good morning."

"Good Morning, " Sakshi greeted her in a low tone.

"Dii, are you okay? Something occurred?" Aradhya asked ber worriedly, placing her juice glass on the table.

"Are you crying?" Aradhya screamed, she hurriedly hugged her and consoled her.

"Dii, "

"No worry, it happens. I'm missing my mom today, in fact, I need her and she is..." Sakshi stopped at the mid of the sentence.

"Am I not your mother?" Mamta implored entering inside the room with Dadi.

"Auntie, " Sakshi broke the hug with Aradhya and hugged Mamta.

"And I'm also not so old as you think, " Dadi pouted that makes her smile.

After some time gossips, she exited with a large plate filled with stuff to give the priest. Samarth's gaze fell upon her in the corridor, he grinned. She didn't aware of his gaze.

"If you can forgive that fucking Nicky then what about me?" A cold voice caught the attention of Samarth. He swivelled to reckon who is there. The sound was familiar but the speaking tone was different. Nobody dares except Aradhya to talk so cold and rudely to him.

"Anaya, you, " He shook his head and paced out there but she followed her and caught his hand to stop him, which he instantly shakes and alleviates.

"What are you doing?" Samarth asked with a frown on his face.

"If you can forgive Nicky, then why can't me? At least, we can be good friends?" Anaya almost begged.

"Yeah, Nicky's mistake is not forgettable, I didn't forgive her for what she did. Aradhya pardons her, and you know what is the reason behind her forgiveness?" Samarth's sound increased with anger.

Anaya gave him a quizzy look.

"Because she is thinking herself at her place, if Alvin rejected to marry her, she will commit suicide. And the most important, she is thinking herself at her place, if I didn't accept her what she will do? A freaking suicide? Nicky did wrong but not intensely, but you..." He halted. He shook his head.

"What Nicky committed, was not affecting her, not harm her. However, you did, ruined her life. She could be saved, but because of you, I can't save her, " A guilt is watered into his eyes 

"I wanted to get you, and I was not feeling secure, because Sameer told me that you are searching for Aradhya, inquiring about her. I was afraid of losing you. We were going to marry but I had doubted, so I thought if we spent our night together, you would marry me, " Anaya said with a crying tone, he throat is choked because of weeping.

"I was ready to marry you only because of Dadi, and now she is in my life, I think you should concentrate on your own business. And I think your future husband is presented here. You should welcome him, " Samarth backend to the corridor.

"And I'll never pardon you because my love suffered a lot because of you only, " He said raising his index finger on her. He left her alone crying there.

"How to tell you Samarth, my family is changed, they talk limited with me, I'm fed up, only you can change my family's behaviour with me," She kneeled down and cried hard.

Aradhya is busy with her works related go marriage. She is adjusting some materials which are brought for marriage rituals, suddenly she heard a sweet sound, "Hey, Hello."

She glanced to get a shadow, she is Aaliya. She responded back, "Hii, how are you?"

"Fine, we are here to attend the wedding, " Aaliya explained because of her quizzy glance at her.

"Ohh, okay. Most welcome dear, " Aradhya smiled and hugged her.

"Hii, " A male voice came from behind Aaliya.

She bent left and glance, she rolled her eyes, "Mr Ahuja." 

"He is my elder brother, " Aaliya introduced.

"H..hi..ii, " Aradhya stammered. She doesn't like his eyes which are always drooled over her.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Fine. Ummm, excuse me, " She wished to evaporate there.

"Hey, listen ms, " He exclaimed why she is avoiding him. Aaliya got a call, so her all concentration is on phone, she has hoisted it on her ear.

"Arohi, I want that..." Mamta came close to her and wanted to say something her, but she stopped when she saw Aman. 

Her attention paid to Aman. She smiled broadly and greeted, "Hello, son. When you arrived? Where are your parents? And..."

"Auntie, calm down. We all are here and just arrived, " Aman cut her off before she could ask more questions.

"Arohi, he is the son of Mr Ahuja. We are planning Anaya's wedding with his elder brother, " Mamta informed her happily, Aradhya gawked at him with a forced smile.

"Hello, " She whispered.

"Mom, I have some urgent work, " She paced from there to somewhere. She doesn't know herself, where she is going.

"Arree, "...

" Sorry, Son. She is my younger daughter Arohi. I'm glad that you all come here, " She patted his back and paced out to meet the Ahuja Family.

Aman smirked hearing her. Later, Aaliya joined him and asked about a smirk on his face. He nodded as nothing.

Meanwhile, she collided with Samarth, he held her to save form falling. He broadened his eyes, "Your makeup artist is searching for you, go and get ready."

"Okk, I was busy, " She gave her a genuine smile to him.

"No more work, go and get ready, " He warned her.

Liza dressed her up, she is looking damn pretty in her golden colour Lahenga, it is not less than a bridal dress. After touch up of makeup, she can kill anyone's heart at a glance. Her wavy curls are adding beauty on her face. Her all body curves are shaped in the lahenga.

Once, Liza has done her work, Samarth paced inside his room. Liza excited rapidly.

His mouth gaped seeing her. She glowed because of his glimpse on her.

"How am I?" she asked with a blushing smile.

"Speechless, " He smiled nervously and she joined him.

"I think I should be your bodyguard today, " He took long strides to her and hugged her.

"Shut up, " she softly slapped on his chest, and ordered, "Now get ready, Mr Goenka. Mrs Goenka is waiting for you."

" It's your order, I have to, " He smiled and paced go cupboard.

"I'm going, Dii would need me, " She saved and exited. He nodded in the permission.

— After the wedding...

Everyone cried, Samarth so cried hugging Sakshi. Aradhya and Dadi also. All were sat in the chairs under the porch. Almost, all the guests left the place with the groom and bride.

Sakshi and Kevin, Nicky and Alvin got married. They are directly going there home in Mumbai, then tomorrow they will come for rituals.

Aradhya placed her hand on her broken husband's shoulder. Her face is gloomy and also his. She rubbed to console her. He forced smile, "Aradhya when she was at home, I was hell worried about her future. Once her life was devastated, I wish to give her a happy life, and today, she starts, but I afraid of her happiness, nothing should happen to her.

" Nothing will happen. Kevin Ji is best, he will take care of her, " She said with a smile, and she makes him smile.

Aman is looking at them. During the wedding time, he was seeing her busy with the brides family, but it wasn't affecting him as Mamta was equally busy. So he reckoned that they are close families.

At last, the Ahuja family left. Samarth went to say goodbye them, but Aradhya avoid because she was irritated because of Aman. Be was gazing upon her, she knew that. So she went back to her room.

They are not leaving the place today, so she is relaxed and went to bathroom. Taking a long shower, she dressed into a frock, reached upper her thigh. Her hairs are dripping water.

Samarth was waiting for her. He went to the bathroom after her, but not without pecking her cheek. She smiled.

She ordered their food but must be delivered in Dadi's room. Once, Samarth gets ready in his night wear, she asked to join her.

She knows, Dadi was crying. She felt bad for her. She avoided to talk and sat beside her.

"Dadi, stop crying. She is Mumbai, " Samarth wiped off her tears. She smiled at them.

Their food arrived. Samarth took a tray and placed on the bed. He grabbed spoon and asked her to eat first, "Let's have together, first is yours."

Dadi smiled and they all had dinner happily. She placed her one hand on Samarth's cheek and another on Aaradhya's cheek. She said, "I'm so happy that my both children are settled down in their life."

"Dadi, " Aradhya smiled.

"Now don't say that you can die easily, " Samarth teased Dadi.

"Don't dream beta, I won't die easily, until your kids plays in my lap, I won't die, " Dadi and Samarth laughed but Aradhya blushed hearing them.

Samarth knows his nervousness, he smiled t her and she smiled back. Happiness arrives in their life, now she is feeling like everything is going well.

In the bed...

She is smuggling in his chest, she wanted to say something him. And it was about Aman. But her mouth couldn't open. She doesn't wish to give him a tension. 

"Aman is not a good guy, I feel unsecured around him. For the whole day, he was following me. Samarth was busy with guests and I didn't want to create any Siyapa, so I didn't tell him. And I'll short out myself, I don't wish to give him any tension, " She thinks and closed her eyes as she was hell tired today.

Samarth was playing with her hairs, he dozed off in a few minutes.
