Manvi's POV

I was sitting down with Mehendi getting applied on my hands and legs.  My friends were dancing to the music. 

I glanced at the door and saw Alisha entering the flat. She meets my mother and gave her wedding lehenga and jewellery as it is ritual bride's bridal attires comes from the groom side. 

She came to me and glanced at my Mehendi. She smiled and said "mannu this is really pretty" 

I smiled at her, she made me stand and I danced with her. Nandini came to us and said "Alisha, make sure tomorrow Aarav comes on time" 

Alisha blinked her eye and spoke "don't worry maa.. he will be here on time" 

After some time, Alisha left. I moved to my room and changed. Just then my phone ranged, it was a video call from Aarav.

I took a deep breath "this man is just too much.." 

I picked up the call and asked "What's wrong with you Aarav? can't you just stay away from me for a day" 

Aarav made a face and answered "are.. it's you only who complain Aarav you don't have time for me, Aarav you keep me waiting for so long blah blah.. now I am giving you time and you are still complaining.." 

I just smiled at him and held my ears "sorry.. but mumma and Dad said to stay away from you till the wedding" 

"that's unfair.." he said. 

"Aarav.. just one more day" I reminded him and disconnected the call. He called me again but I didn't answer. 

Aarav frowned "kitne nakhre karti hai.. yeh ek baar ghar aaye batata hun huh" he threw away his phone on the bed. 

He was thoughtful about tomorrow and he called someone. The person from the other side said, "Sir.. are you sure about that?" 

"yes I am sure.. Shinde sharp 6 pm bye" he replied and ended the call. 

I couldn't sleep as it was my last night at my parents home. I was so emotional remembering my childhood. I moved to my parents' room and stopped at the door hearing their conversation. 

"Karan, stop crying you know it's a ritual we have to follow," Nandini said. 

"I wish, I could change it.. my daughter is going away from me tomorrow," he said emotionally. 

Nandini consoles him, I am always close to my father because he understands me more. He had always taken my side when my mother scolds me for my childish behaviour. I cleaned my eyes and knocked on the door. 

I entered inside and smiled "mumma Dad.. can I sleep with you tonight?" I asked. 

Nandini nodded in yes, I chuckled in happiness and climbed on the bed. I laid down in between them. 

"I am just shifting to another house. Aarav won't dare to stop me to meet you both" I said. 

"we know.. but we are going to miss you so much" Karan replied tapping my cheek. 

I smiled at him "I will also miss you, Dad.." 

Nandini kissed my forehead and I slept peacefully. 

The next morning, I heard my mother loud voice "Mannu wake up" 

"mumma let me sleep for 5 minutes" I replied wrapping my arms around her waist. 

"it's your wedding, I have so much work to do.. your packing is also incomplete" she said smearing my head. 

I sat up straight and sighed. She ordered me to get ready. I moved to my room and saw the wedding dress. I glanced at it and smiled Aarav knows my choice. It was a red and white contrast lehenga my favourite combination. 

There was a letter, I opened it and read "Can't wait to see you as a beautiful bride! This new beginning will be filled with lots of love, the happiness I promise" 

A smile appeared on my face reading it. My mother shouted and I quickly went to take the bath as the beautician was waiting for me. 

Here, Aarav wore the sherwani. Alisha entered the room and kept the pagdi on his head. She kept her hand on his shoulder and smiled looking into the mirror "ooye hoyeee.. looking really handsome"

"I know I am handsome" He replied winking at her. 

Alisha then whispered in his ear "And your bedroom is ready for your special first night" 

Aarav smiled and murmured "that happened on engagement day already"

Alisha glared at him "What?" she asked.

He denied "nothing... let's go" 

Alisha agreed and they moved out of the house along with other relatives. 

I got ready and glanced at myself in the mirror. Nandini smiled and said "As beautiful as angel" 

I stood up and turned, there were tears in her eyes. I wiped them "mumma..." 

She denied it, just then I heard sounds from downstairs. The girl came running and said "baarat aa gayi.." 

Nandini moved out to welcome everyone, I went to the balcony and looked down. I was shocked as Aarav was not there. Only relatives and Alisha were present there with musicians. Karan, Nandini questioned, "where is Aarav Alisha??" 

"I am sorry maa.. but he had an urgent call from police station" she replied. 

My cousin entered in and told me the situation. I was angered hearing her, how can Aarav do this to me? I lifted my lehenga a bit and moved downstairs to the ground floor. 

I shouted at Alisha "you said he will come on time.. this is unfair.." 

Just then I heard a loud voice, I turned behind and was left totally stunned. A helicopter was on the top of the building, Aarav was hanging down and waving hi to me. 

He jumped down and approached me. He indeed arrived in the helicopter instead of a horse. 

"after all, it's Aarav Malhotra's wedding has to be unique," he said winking at me. 

Nandini pulled his ear "Aarav you just scared us!" 

"sorry maa.." he apologized. 

She welcomed him inside and he sat down for the pooja. After some time, I sat down beside him and glanced at him. 

He smiled at me and whispered "feel like run away with you" 

"shut up.." I replied, shooting a glare at him. 

He smiled and the wedding rituals began. Alisha tied the knot and we stood up for the wedding vows. 

After the seven rounds around the fire, he filled my hairline with sindoor and tied mangal sutra around my neck. I looked at him with a smile. 

The wedding was over and the priest pronounced us as husband and wife. We stood up and took blessings from my parents. I was happy and emotional at the same time. 

Karan folded his hand in front of Aarav "Aarav.. my daughter is a bit impulsive sometimes.. take care of her" 

"Dad.. I know don't worry I will handle her and keep her happy that's a promise" he said lowering his hands. 

They hugged each other. Nandini said "mannu.. behave and please don't complain Aarav is responsible and he knows how to balance his professional and personal life" 

I frowned "mumma.. you always scold me.. don't say anything to him" 

"because I am the best" Aarav replied hugging my mother. I sighed.. he became my mother's favourite. 

We then had a photoshoot. I glanced at him and he whispered "now you are officially Mrs. Manvi Aarav Malhotra"

I smiled at him.

It was now Bidaai time, I did the rituals and inside the car. I waved them by with teary eyes, they stood there in each other embrace with tears spreading over their faces. I hated this moment at the wedding. 

I cried, Aarav gave his handkerchief saying "your makeup will get ruin.." 

I snatched it from his hand and said "You are so bad..." 

"you can meet them anytime Manvi.." He spoke. I looked at him, he cleaned my eyes and pulled me into his embrace. 

He cheered me up and I smiled. Soon, we reached our new flat which he bought a few days back. 

Alisha was waiting for us at the door, she did my Grah Pravesh and we moved inside the house. After wedding rituals happened and obviously I won at the ring finding ceremony.  

Alisha took me into the bedroom and said "Mannu.. tell me the details tomorrow" 

I glared at her "Shut up Alisha.. you are so shameless" I replied. 

"I have learnt only from you!" she said. 

I gave her a look and she showed me mine and Aarav's picture in an intimate position. I sighed.. "When did you clicked it??" 

"when you both were lost in each other" She winked at me. She pushed into the bedroom and ran away. 

After about 20 minutes, Aarav entered the room. He closed the door and locked it. I sighed.. "Finally it's over.. who told you to get such heavy lehenga?" I asked him. 

Aarav made a face "Manvi.. it's our first night and you are scolding me.. that's a bad start" 

I narrowed my eyebrow and moved closer to him "So you want me to sit down like a shy bride and wait for you to lift my veil?" 

He shook his head in yes "that is what brides do! I guess" he said thoughtfully. 

"But I am not bride.. I am a unique bride.. like your unique entry at my place" I reminded him. 

He laughed and lifted me up in his arms, I wrapped my arms around his neck. He dropped me on the bed and said "you know you are sometimes so crazy" 

"Yes, I know!" I replied. 

He eyed me with love, he turned off the light but something happened. I glared at him and he sighed in helplessness. 

"Alisha!!" we shouted aloud.
