Deepshikha POV :

I jumped down from the wall and got up rubbing of the dust, to my shock I saw Samar uncle and stood there stunned. He is like my father and getting caught red handed to him is like a shame. I never had experience of getting caught doing some mischief.

How will you have some experience like that? You rarely do such things and there is your brother to save you always.

My brain is the most sensible part in me which never cheats, even in exams. What am I thinking? I saw Samar uncle looking at me crossing his hands. Tears started welling up in my eyes and I mentally got prepared to have earful . .

 "Angel! Are you fine?" Dhruv asked sitting on the wall and I immediately looked at uncle who is watching Dhruv with a dropped jaw. Dhruv immediately jumped down and saved from further embarrassment. After having such a beautiful start of the day I did not expect something like this. 

"How will you reach your room?" Samar uncle asked me sternly, "Pipes" I said pointing towards them to which his eyes grew wide. "Seriously?" he asked giving me are-you-crazy look. I did not have any words to say, I started praying god to save me from further embarrassment. "I did not expect this from you, Never" he said shaking his head. "What if you got hurt? Luckily I saw you" he sighed.

"You were not angry that I sneaked out?" I asked hesitantly to which he laughed loudly. "From when did spending time with your husband became sin" he questioned sarcastically making me blush. "I would have allowed you to climb these pipes too but in this wedding I dont want to see you with a crotch" he started joking and made a call in hurry.

"Chitra will come and take you to your room" he said making me gasp, "Any problem?" he asked seeing my expression to which I nodded no. Chitra!! Now she will tease me till my death about this.       "This side of palace is under my control so you will not have any problem in sneaking out" uncle said and winked at me. "Daily I cannot jump these walls" I played along. 

"The person on the other side of the wall can do that" he shouted indicating Dhruv. I am sure he is standing there to listen our conversation, "I can do that every hour" Dhruv said confirming his presence. "Well I cannot any of get hurt, I will plan something for you both" uncle suggested and I saw Chitra coming towards us.

"Deeps! If anyone asks you where were you, Just say you were in garden" Chitra said and we went inside. Luckily no one stopped me, everyone were busy in their own works. "You are still in your engagement dress! Go and change before someone comes" she pushed me into washroom. After having bath, I entered my room to see Chitra sitting leisurely on my bed eating fruits.

"Come and have these" she offered, "Thank you" saying it I jumped on bed but she took away plate when I was taking apple from it. "You can have it when you start saying me about yesterday night" she said with an innocent look but evil smile. How can I expect Chitra to be calm? 

"You cannot do like this" I said grabbing plate from her. "I can do that, I will blackmail too" she winked at me. Her phone went off and taking chance I started eating. "What? . . This is not fair. No!! Please . ." she started saying on phone. She aid please in such a pleasing way that I am sure that person might have given into her wishes.

"What happened?" I asked seeing her sad face. "I cannot tease you about yesterday night" she with a pout. I understood that Dhruv called her knowing her nature, "I love you Dhruv" I shouted running towards balcony. He gave me a flying kiss and went away, "How do you know that he called?" Chitra asked. "Who else will save me" I said proudly.

 . . 

"I heard you are leaving this evening" I asked Amrita Ma who is busy in packing. "Yes Shikha! Adi's wedding date has been confirmed. We are planning to do it here, so I should go home once" she explained. "Ok" I said slowly thinking about it. 

"I know you are worried to face that family, If you want we will arrange it at some other place" Amrita Ma suggested. "Where ever you shift the venue I have to attend it right" I said with a faint smile. "Of course you have to, you are his only sister" Karan uncle said holding my hand. 

"Come soon, I will be busy in Atisha's marriage but later we have to start arrangements for Arjun's marriage too" I said to divert topic. "She is excited about her brothers marriage" Karan said "No she is desperate about hers" Amrita Ma teased me. 

Whatever it is I have to prepare myself for facing Rajneesh family, especially Mr. Rajneesh. I am ready to do that for sake of Preeti and Aditya's happiness, This is the least possible way that I can show my gratitude for their love.

 . . 

As the days started passing all the relatives started coming home. At first I thought it will be hindrance for Dhruv and my privacy but something beyond our thinking started happening. Whoever comes started asking about Dhruv and they suggest us to spend time together to know each other more. This happened almost daily as all relatives do not come on one day ;)

As promised Samar uncle helped us to meet by building a temporary path from my balcony to Dhruv's room. He strictly ordered everyone not to come to that side of building faking some reason. "This idea of meeting you every night without anyone knowing about it is so thrilling" Dhruv said hugging me from back. "Samar uncle knows it" I stated, "Then Chitra too knows" he added. 

"Chitra does not know this" I said winking at him, "How?" he asked little surprised. "I have my ways, I will not let this secret between us go out" I promised. "Even Samar uncle does not know we meet daily" he chuckled. "Why dont you allow me to come to your room?" I asked making a puppy face. "You may fall down, that bridge is so delicate" he explained. 

"You are heavier than me" I teased him but he smirked shocking me. "How do you know that I am heavier?" he whispered in my ear. "I guessed" I said in barely audible voice. "You will know now" he said pushing me on bed and he collapsed on me. With his weight on me I felt like I am getting dipped into bed. 

He started giving me feather light kisses making me want more. "You are punishing me like this, Let me take revenge" I said hugging him tightly. I started teasing him and did not kiss him like he does to me.  "This is cheating" he whined but I slowly pushed him outside and closed the door. "This is perfect revenge" I said winking at him. 

He went away after pleading me for sometime which I ignored purposefully. We never expected one day we will start taking revenge on each other but tonight it started. All rituals of the wedding started, I tried to maintain safe distance from Dhruv but he caught me and kissed me with all his passion. This went on for few days, we used to settle scores on the same day.

During all the rituals we remained doing all lovey dovey acts without caring about the attention we are gaining from our relatives. Everyone were happy seeing love between us and were satisfied about Arjun's decision of selecting Dhruv for me.

During mehendi ceremony, I made the designer write my Dhruv's name prominently visible on my hands. "Everyone want their partners to search for it but you are making it obvious" Souravi said. "I want everyone to know that I belong to him, ONLY HIM" I said looking at Dhruv who has a proud smile on his face. 

For sangeet all couples performed well and everyone were in so much love. Amidst all this love the only people who kept on fighting were Abhay and Chitra! As Atisha did not have brothers Abhay took all the responsibilities and fulfilled them properly. The only problem is whenever Chitra and Abhay meet they created a mess taunting each other. We all had tough time in seeing that their paths do not cross. 

This is the first royal wedding after a long time so many elders became nostalgic, Jai uncle and my dad are distant relatives. Each of the ritual and chants were clearly explained to all of us, Dhruv too started reciting all vows which a groom should say and I reciprocated. Seeing us Arjun and Souravi too did the same making our family feel that all three marriages are happening at a time.

After wedding got completed we started sending off all the guests. Uttara invited all of us to her home to make Atisha feel good. "I am so happy that everything went well" Jai uncle said relaxing. "We have a puja at temple, so all of you make yourself free for one day" she advised all of us. "Do we need to attend?" Dhruv asked in hesitation.

"I know you all will be busy, As you both couples got engaged you too should participate" Uttara said to Dhruv and Arjun. "We are getting chance to meet once more" Arjun said to Souravi but his voice was audible to all of us making us laugh which made them blush.
