A series of car halted outside of the hotels, waiters run toward the cars for holding the door and help the family out of the car,

Veer came out of the car and circling he stood Outside the door of Misha and hold out his hand, she took a breath to calm her anxiety and nerves and placed her hand in his.

Her trembling didn't go unnoticed from him.

Other family members also came and withheld their head high made their entry in the hotels.

Misha left astonished at the stairs seeing so many balloons hung there,

Veer help her out on the stairs her heavy dress and high heels making it difficult for her to take a step properly and these stairs were of no help.

Loud cheers and claps ring, at the entry of a much-awaited couple.

Many girls heave a sad sigh, many of their mouths hung at the handsomeness of Veer, a sheer of jealousy burn their inside,

Veer was looking so ethereal in his burgundy suit with a black shirt underneath and a tie. He was looking like a model come out of the magazines.

Whereas Misha also looking like an enchanting beauty, Veer strictly prohibited her wearing anything that shows skin, so the idea of a gown died down there and a light shade of peach coloured lehenga decided.

Makeup artist gave her nude makeup with a touch of natural light.
Heavy jhumkas adored her ears, and her mangalsutra and chudas gave her a look of newly bride.

Vaani and Sana make them sitting on the stage, where the single sofa decorated with flowers were placed for the newly couple.

Misha's face showing fears, anxiety and much more. She has never been to a place like this before, she is from a middle class and Orthodox family where girls weren't allowed outside at the night.

All the family members mingle with the guests, many people came at the stage and congratulate the couples. Some genuinely and some fake.

Misha sat there beside Veer like a statue, there wasn't much space between them and the hold Veer has on her had getting tighter with each second. It seems he has forgotten leaving her hand.

" This is our bhabhi you have kept hidden from us, " a man spoke coming at the side of Veer, he nodded at Misha.

Veer smile at his friend, " When you came to India?" Veer asked side hugging his friend.

" Yesterday, couldn't miss my buddy's reception" Ankit replied with a smile. His eyes adorning the beautiful couple. But the girl looked so young, she isn't the usual type that his friend always goes to.

" What about bhabhi, she didn't come with you," Veer asked searching for his friend wife, who never left his husband for a single second.

" She isn't feeling good, pregnancy makes her tired easily"

Misha sat there awkwardly, Veer forgets to introduce her.

Ankit looked at her uneasy face, " Aren't you going to introduce me to the beautiful lady"

Veer stole a glance of her, his eyes twinkling " Wifey he is my buddy, and Ankit she is Misha" she passed a smile to Ankit, they both exchanged formalities.

At last, supper was served to the couple, Veer left her in the company of her sisters, he has to talk to some business partner.

Vaani observe Misha's face, she looked completely worn out, " You should eat something, I know you haven't taken a bite," she said placing a plate of some delicacies in front of her.

Misha looked in the plates, bile rose to her throat, " I don't any appetite, di "
She murmured,

" Arey, bhabhi you need to eat something, you know you need energy tonight" Sana chirped mischievously.

Misha's brows furrowed at her words, she looked up to Vaani,

Vaani glare at the young girl, Sana ducked her head down, " She is just bluffing Misha. You don't have to take her words seriously" Vaani replied avoiding her gaze.

It was late in the night when all the guest left, and both families left for their houses.

Misha was in Vaani's car, Veer left in the hotel for some time with his friends. Vasundra Rathod couldn't deny his only grandson's demand and she left with the bride.

After reaching the house, Misha enters after doing the ritual of grah-parves. She is the only bride that enters in her Sasural without the groom beside her. No one shows their unease, but Misha felt insulted,

Vaani took her to Veer's room and the view made her blood froze, cold water splash on her, in all the hustle-bustle she had completely forgotten about tonight.

More precisely, " Wedding Night"
