The Mehendi was going to take place today and the wedding would be tomorrow. Saachi was definitely very excited about everything. She had tears in her eyes looking at her parents as the henna artist worked on her hands and feet.

She was going to miss them so much. She sniffed lightly before looking at her hands. The design was so beautiful. She can't believe that she was getting married which is also for the second time to her prince charming.

She smiled to herself trying to enjoy every moment of her wedding. She wanted to cherish every single moment of this.

-----------------

"Yuvraj why do you have to do these things today", his father shouted at him.

"I don't want them to be here, Baba Sa. They tried to kill you then also you want them to be a part of my wedding. They kept you away from me for so many years. They are the reason why Ma sa and you suffered. They are the reason why Yad stayed away from her mother's warmth for so long", Yuvraj growled.

"You think I don't know anything about it Yuvraj. I know every single thing. They are backstabbers and they would do it again. We are taking a step back but it doesn't mean that we lost from them. We need to show that we know nothing about it and the moment they would show their real faces just end them up silently. It's what I have taught you. Speak less and do much", Shiv told him deadly as Yuvraj breathed heavily.

"I can't see their face", Yuvraj told him.

"Then ignore them just like you did for this long", Shiv said.

"If they tried to show dominance on anybody as they showed on Saachi before I am telling you I would not even think before putting all bullets of my gun in their head. Especially Tanisha", Yuvraj said as Shiv nodded.

"Just keep them away from me. I don't want to see them or I don't know what I would do", Yuvraj completed looking out of his balcony.

"Don't spoil your mood. It's your marriage", Shiv said as he nodded wiping his face with his hands.

"Your mother must be looking for you. It's your Mehendi come on", Shiv said as Yuvraj made a face.

"I am not putting any Mehendi", Yuvraj stated.

"You have to do it son otherwise your mother will kill you. At least she would not cover your whole palm with henna as she did with me", Shiv said making a face.

"You are whipped, father", Yuvraj said as Shiv glared at him.

"Get married and I would ask you the same", Shiv said as Yuvraj rolled his eyes.

"I am already married", Yuvraj said as Shiv smiled.

"This time it is different", Shiv said as Yuvraj raised his eyebrows at his words but didn't ask much about it.

"I am going to end their story after this marriage", Yuvraj said as Shiv nodded sighing at his anger issues. He needs to learn so much more.

"Will you both stop discussing come on Yuvraj apply henna on your hands", Alicia said as Yuvraj made a face but agreed nonetheless.

--------------

Udaipur palace was decorated with lights and flowers. The guests were awed at the beauty after all it was Ekansh's only daughter's marriage. He couldn't agree for anything less.

There was a lot of chattering and noise in the whole palace. There were songs and laughter in the air.

"Saachi get ready quickly. Yuvraj would be here any moment", Her mother told her but stopped immediately looking at her face.

Saachi looked at the mirror to find her mother staring at her silently with a small smile. She smiled back before turning to her.

"Ma", She called smiling at her holding the heavy veil on her head.

Aadya looked at her daughter before walking to her slowly cupping her face.

"Why did you grow up this quickly?" she asked Saachi who smiled at her words before hugging her.

"Don't forget us. Okay. You would always be my daughter before Yuvraj's wife. Now I feel like I should have agreed to Rana Sa and shouldn't have ever agreed to this marriage. It is so difficult", Aadya said pulling back kissing her forehead. She closed her eyes as tears fall down her eyes.

"Ma, please don't cry", Saachi begged.

"I can't even ask you not to go. How will I handle your brothers without you?" Aadya said as Saachi laughed.

"Are you both done?" Ekansh asked standing on the door smiling at the mother-daughter duo.

"Rana Sa don't you think she grew up so quickly", Aadya asked as he looked at Saachi before nodding.

Saachi walked towards him before wrapping her arms around him.

Ekansh Pratap Singh felt the walls around his heartbreaking. He wanted to cry today but it would only make his family weak. He kissed her crown before pulling away.

"You would always remain my princess before anything. If he troubles you just give me a call and I would see what I have to do with him", He whispered in her ear as she smiled before pulling away.

"Before everybody starts crying here, let's go", Aadya said when they heard the sound of dhols and other instruments.

"See the Barat is here. Why is Yuvraj in so much hurry? We wouldn't have minded if he was an hour late or so", Aadya said looking at Ekansh who smiled.

"We need to leave, love", He told her as she nodded.

"I would send Ridhi here", Aadya said cupping her face as she nodded.

"I forgot something", Aadya said stopping abruptly before putting a Kala tika behind her ear.

"Now you look perfect", Aadya said before going out only to see her in-laws, the previous rulers of Udaipur, and her parents with Kabir and Rudra.

"Many people are in line to meet the princess", Rudra said smiling brightly when Arjun reached there.

--------------

Soon the time came when Saachi was asked to come down.

Yuvraj's eyes were not leaving the stairs. His breathing nearly stopped when he saw her walking down with her mother and Ridhi.

She looked so heavenly at this moment. He couldn't believe so much time has passed. He remembered the five-year-old Saachi, the adorable little girl.

All memories flashed in his eyes as he couldn't look anywhere other than her.

"Close your mouth, brother", Aarya said only to get a glare from Yuvraj.

"She is yours only. Nobody is snatching her from you", Aarya said only to wince when Ava pulled her ear.

"At least think twice before saying anything", she told him as he pouted.

Saachi walked near him as he offered his hand to her as she climbed up the stage slowly.

He couldn't keep his eyes away from her as she slowly looked at him before passing him a small smile. He nearly falls down at the beautiful smile.

The garlands were exchanged as they finally sat on the mandap. The moment when Aadya and Ekansh were asked to do the kanyadaan, it became very difficult.

Saachi was sobbing softly as they gave her hand to Yuvraj who held her hand in his in a promising grip only to silently tell her that he would always be there for her.

In the end, he lifted her maang tika a little before putting the vermilion between her hair partition as she closed her eyes preserving that moment for her whole life. He placed the nuptial chain around her neck silently and finally, she was his and he was hers for eternity.

When they stood up from their place, they came across Ridhi who was smiling evilly at them.

"Jiju, you need to pay me for your footwear", She said smiling as Yuvraj returned her smile.

"No need to do that Yuvraj. I brought another pair of shoes for you. I knew this girl very well", Aarya said putting another pair of footwear in front of him.

"This is not fair, Aarya", Ridhi pouted.

"It's already done, my love. Now find some other way to get money from my brother. Don't forget you have to come to that house only. He is the elder brother of your husband so behave with him", Aarya said in a lower tone for only her and Yuvraj and Saachi to hear it.

Yuvraj cleared his throat before wearing his footwear.

Ridhi's face resembled a tomato at this moment as she continued glaring at him as he winked at her.

The newlywed couple took the blessings from all the elders for their new life.

They had their food and finally, it was time for the vidaai.

Saachi was a crying mess when she hugged her father.

The father-daughter had a different connection even though not from blood they had the purest connection between them.

Ekansh finally settled her in the car as she continued crying. Kabir stood behind the car with Rudra and gave the car a little push.

He had tears in his eyes as well as he saw his sister going away.

Yadavi kept a hand on his shoulder smiling sadly at him.

"I will take care of Bhabhi. Don't worry", she told him as he nodded.

"Yad, we need to go", her mother called her as she nodded before walking to them.

This is how the beauty finally ended with the beast.

-------------------------

All the post-marriage rituals ended as finally Saachi was taken to his room.

"What is going on in your mind?", Aarya asked Yuvraj who was sitting in the living room.

"What do you mean?", Yuvraj asked.

"It's your first night. Why are you sitting here?", Aarya asked as Yuvraj gave him a blank look.

"You can only think about that, right. I was thinking about other things", Yuvraj told him.

"I know what you are talking about. I will take care of your evil chacha-Chachi. Don't worry. Tau Sa is with me along with my father. They can still kill people just using their hands. You enjoy your first night peacefully", Aarya said as Yuvraj nodded before walking to his room. 

He opened the door slowly looking at his beautiful bride sitting with her arms around her knees. 

He smiled finding her eyes on the sheets.

"Was I late?", He asked as she looked at him immediately. She just shook her head. There was a huge veil covering her face, only her lips were visible.

He sighed before removing the veil from her face as she smiled brightly at him.

"You look beautiful", he said as she gave him a cheeky smile.

"I know", she told him as he laughed.

"You seem excited", he said as her smile immediately disappeared.

"Not at all, I am sleepy", she told him as he frowned.

"You want to sleep?", he asked as she nodded.

"Right now you wanna sleep?", he asked as she nodded.

"No you are doing no such thing", He told her as she frowned.

"We have our whole life to do that Yuvraj Ji. I was the bride. You don't even know. Ma woke me up at 4 in the morning. I didn't even have a nap the whole day. I need sleep right now", She told him before removing the veil completely jumping down the bed walking to her small bag, and took out her nightclothes to change into.

"Saachi this is a joke right", he asked as she frowned before yawning.

"Why would I joke about such things? Good night", she said waving her hands at him before entering the washroom to get changed.

He frowned before laughing. What could he expect from his little wife?

He lied down on the bed waiting for his wife as his whole life flashed in front of his eyes.

He wanted nothing more than revenge. But then he met her and everything started getting back to their places like she was his lucky star. He got back his parents, his family, and his sister. Now he is not scared of anything because he is well aware of how dangerous his family's male, as well as female, are. He doesn't need to be a part of the Mafia now because his family is everything for him.

He can't risk anything happening to them so he finally left that place. After all, he is a king. He need to be an ideal to his people, not the other way. He heard the door open as his wife came out after removing all her makeup and dress and she still looked beautiful to him.

She lied down beside him before putting her head on his arm and wrapping her arms around his chest.

Before he could say anything she was already asleep.

This was the peace he wanted his whole life and finally found it as well. He finally had his sweetheart in his arms. Before he never wanted a family of his own but now he wanted one with his little wife.

He placed a kiss on her forehead as she nuzzled her face more on his arms as he laughed.

This was his life now and he was contended and genuinely happy now.
