Beautiful was the first word came from my lips when I took a glance of your face for the first time. But what surprised me was your heart! Yes your heart! It was kind and innocent! And too naive for this world! So I decided to keep that with myself. And I promise you to take care of your heart till my last breathe!

Yuvraj's POV
08:56AM IST, 15th December
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

Currently we the boys were working out in the gym to look more good in the upcoming wedding functions. And from boys, I mean Me, Siddharth, Veer, Varun, Duggu bhaiya, Abhimanyu and Armaan. I was doing pushups whilst Siddharth was doing dumbbells. Varun was pushing up by my side. Abhimanyu was on the treadmill. Duggu bhaiya was doing some weight lifting excercise. Veer was in the boxing ring. Armaan was doing pull-ups on the bar. And we all were inside the huge gym of Umaid Bhawan Palace. Yeah Veer has built one inside the palace as he is a workout lover just like me.

I haven't seen Mia since last night when we were dining. Yeah I know it's not been that long but what can I say, I just can't get enough of her. I was yearning to see her face but these fuckers particularly dragged me into the gym. It's not like I didn't want to workout. It's just I wanted to see Mia first before doing anything. But my fate! *Sighs!*

After we were done, we went back to the main hall and from their to our respective rooms. I came to my room first so decided to take a shower before Sid and Varun. Though there is another washroom inside the room. I stripped off my sweat covering shirt and walked inside the washroom closing the door behind me. I stripped off of my all clothes and stood under the shower. Opening the tap button, I took a shower and washed my hairs as well. After sometime, I came out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my lower body. Dabbing another towel on my wet hairs, i came out of the washroom and opened my wardrobe door. Picking up a t-shirt and a pair of denim pants, I put them on my shoulder. I heard the washroom door open and closed. I turned to hear there was sound of waters coming from both of the washrooms. Knowing that Sid and Varun are inside, I changed my clothes.

After changing into my clothes, I again grabbed the wet towel and rubbed my hairs. Walking infront of the mirror, I dropped the towel and gelled my hair. After I was done, I straightened up and applied some cologne on me.

I heard a ting from my phone and picked up the phone to see there was a text from Mum.

"Come downstairs to the living hall after you're ready! We all are going for shopping!"

Great! Didn't she just shop the whole New Delhi before coming here?!

My phone again tinged making me snap out of my thoughts. I looked down only to choke on the air I was breathing.

"Don't you dare think about the shopping I did in Delhi! Come downstairs like a good boy if you want me to talk to Mia's parents about your marriage again!"

Hell yeah! I want her to!

I replied in a small okay and put my phone inside my pant pockets. Just then both Sid and Varun came out.

"Wow! What a timing guys! I need to tell you something before I leave downstairs!" I said faking my excitement and clapping my hands.

They looked at me frowning and weirdly as if I just twerked for them. I rolled my eyes because of the inner voice of mine.

"So mum called us downstairs in the living room and we're all going out for shopping!" I said.

Their eyes opened widely as they were about to come out of their sockets. I just stood there snickering at their behaviour!

Yes they were with us when mum took all of us for shopping and they're as much surprised like us!

They composed themselves and sighed in defeat. They finally nodded and went to get dressed. Shrugging I left the room and went downstairs. I entered the living hall where everyone was already waiting.

I saw Mia sitting beside Sam talking to someone on her phone. Ignoring that I checked her out. She was wearing a full sleeved flowy blue dress with a big belt on. She was wearing blue high wedges whilst her hair was left open to fall on her waist. She looks so beautiful and cute especially when her hairs are free. I was snapped out of my thoughts when mum declared my presence. Mia also noticed me and gave me a breathtaking smile.

"Ah Yuvi! You came finally! Where are the other two?" Mum asked when she saw me.

"They'll be coming in sometimes mum!" I said.

"Okay!" She said.

"Let's go everyone! The breakfast is ready!" Rani ma said and led us all to the dining hall.

We all settled down and at the same moment, Sid and Varun also joined us. We ate our breakfast and then left for the shopping mall which was owned by my friend, Veer of course.

10:30AM IST
Royal Shopping Mall
Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Currently I was holding a ring on my hand whilst inspecting it curiously. Yes, I was in the jewellery section of the mall. Everyone was here to choose a pair of rings for Sidra and after they left I finally took a hold of the ring I was gawking at from hours.

"I didn't know you were going to propose Mia this soon!" A voice said from my behind making me startled.

I turned to see Sahil looking at me with a sheepish smile on his face. I groaned because I wanted this to be a surprise for Mia and for everyone maybe.

"Are you sure you are a mafia boss? Because I am having doubts on it after seeing your behaviour from some days! Don't tell me you're spending time with Varun, only he can make you like him!" I said groaning.

He threw his head back and laughed.

Did I say something funny?

He controlled himself and said.

"No but someone else did! Forget that! Where is everyone else! Sid called me to come straight to here but I didn't see anyone!" He asked.

"Yeah they just left to the bridal garments section! Let's go!" I said and paid for the ring.

Stuffing it inside my pockets, we left the shop and went to the bridal section. There stood my baby with a beautiful saree on her shoulder. She was pouting whilst looking at her reflection on the mirror.

She looked cute with the expression on her face. Her frown was present on her forehead when she twirled around with the saree on her shoulder draped around her upper body.

I smiled but my smile vanished when I saw a guy approaching her. He seems like a salesman. But the way he was staring at her made me mad and I clenched my fists in anger. He smiled at her creepily whilst saying something to her and my naive girl is replying her so calmly. He was about to touch her when I rushed towards them and stood infront of her glaring at the guy who was eyeing me frowning.

"Yuvi! What are you doing?" A soft voice asked.

I calmed down when she hold my bicep with her tiny hands as she looked up at me curiously. I smiled down at her and shook my head.

"Nothing baby! I've found something more good than this one! Let's go and check that for me! Yeah?" I asked softly.

Her eyes lit up at my words.

"Really?" She asked innocently.

I nodded. She smiled wide and handed the saree back to the guy then tugged me back. I smiled and walked with her. Still walking, I turned around and threw a dangerous glare at the guy. I wrapped my arm around Mia's waist tugging her closer to me whilst still glaring at the guy who seemed scared by now. I turned back and took her to another store.

"Where is it?" She asked excitedly.

I smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of my neck. She cocked an eyebrow at me.

"A-actually I lied! But I had a good reason!" I stuttered out.

Shit! This must be the first time I, Yuvraj Singhania stuttered.

"What lie and why?" She asked crossing her arms infront of her whilst narrowing her eyes at me.

"Eh-i! I lied that I choosed a dress for you! And I did that because the salesman was eyeing you creepily!" I said.

She sighed.

"No Yuvi! He wasn't! It's just your imagination! Now I lost that beautiful saree!" She pouted.

"No no it wasn't that good! I will choose something for you come!" I said and tugged her with me inside.

After seeing almost the whole store, I choosed two sarees for my girl which will look the best on her. I know! I know! That she will look the best in everything but still I wanted the best cloth which will suit her. Now she is inside the changing room. Everyone is here too selecting their clothes and accessories. I've also choosed some sherwanis, kurta and pants for me. I heard the changing room door open so I turned. My breath hitched and I stood there frozen at my place seeing the masterpiece infront of me. I heard some gasps making me turn around. I saw everyone including the people from the mall too staring at Mia who stood there nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

She looked like an angel in the saari. The saree was pink coloured with a white sleeveless blouse. But the most tempting thing was the saree was netted.

Her parents came to her and smiled widely at her making her smile back.

"You are looking so beautiful my princess!" Avinash uncle said pecking Mia's forehead.

"Yeah! Nazar Na lag jaye kisiki meri bachchi ko!" Devina aunty said and put a black tika behind her ear from her kajal.

"Thank you Mum!" Mia said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

She went back inside and came out after sometimes in the next saree. It was a chocolate brown coloured saree with a white net blouse having tassels hanging on the end of the sleeves.

Oh fuck! She looks so sexy and hot! Damn! Control your hormones Yuvi!

"Omg omg Mia! You look soooo sexy!" She said making some aunties in the store gasp and glare at her.

She sheepishly smiled at them. Ignoring all I stepped towards My girl who seemed to be hella nervous because of my stares and my steps towards her. I stood in front of her and lean down to her ear.

"You look so sexy baby! I totally agree with Sam!" I said in whispers huskily.

She gasped and smacked my arm before rushing inside the changing room making me chuckle.

We bought both of the saree then she helped me with my clothes. After the shopping was done we all went back home.

06:45PM IST
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

Currently me and Varun were doing some decorations along with the workers. Yeah I know we are the Billionaires. But still, it's our best friend's wedding! So of course we will do everything we can! The workers were tieing the rose and Lily flowers. But we stopped when we heard a loud screeching voice behind us. We turned to see Mia looking at us with wide eyes.

She was wearing a oversized shirt with denim shorts and sports shoes.

"Oh No no no no no!" She blabbered coming down the stairs.

I swiftly went to her and hold her shoulders in a firm grip to calm her down. But she has some other plans. As she continued to stare behind me with panic in her eyes.

"What happened baby?" I said and turned to look what she was looking at!

I saw she was staring at the flowers. I frowned and turned back to her.

"What happened Mia?" Varun asked coming forward.

But still there was no response from her. I was about to ask her but a voice stopped me.

"What's going on? Everything okay?" Veer said coming from outside.

I ignored and still looked at Mia with concern so Varun gestured him. Varun pointed at the flowers then at Mia then again at the flowers making me and Veer frown.

Seriously?!

I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Mia who was still froze at her place. I shook her again and this time she finally came out of her thoughts.

"What happened meri jaan?" I asked again.

"These flowers! Shree doesn't like them! She likes tulips and daffodils! We need to change them!" She said panicking.

"Hey hey shhh! Calm down meri jaan! It's okay we will change the flowers okay? Now stop panicking! I will take care of the flowers okay?" I said softly cupping her face.

She relaxed and nodded slowly. I smiled making her smile back at me. She pecked my cheek and went back upstairs. I rubbed the cheek she kissed and stared at her retreating back with a lopsided grin like an idiot. I was cut off my thoughts when I heard throat clearing voices. I saw Veer and Varun smirking at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Go to your wife Veer and you! Varun help me! We have so much work!" I said.

They snickered and followed my command.

Next Day, 16th December
Tilak Ceremony
07:00AM IST
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

I was getting ready in my kurta and pants. We are getting ready a little before the time. I gelled my hair and took my phone from the bed. Wearing my footwear, I went downstairs to see Mia.

But her back was facing me. And trust me her backless back was sexy as fuck and it was revealing too making me clench my jaws and fists.

The dress she wore was a lehenga and too revealing for my liking. It was of dark green colour and it has black shining stones on it. Including her back, her creamy white waist was on show too.

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath.

I cursed in a low voice but it seems like she heard it so she turned around to face me.

Oh fuck!

Her front looked more tempting then her back. She looked beautiful, no no gorgeous but she looked too sexy for my liking. She stared at me whilst I ogled at her body shamelessly.

With the lehenga, she was wearing green kundan jewelleries, green bangles, green strappy heels and her hair was styled to one side. Her eyes makeup was green and she was wearing some pink lipsticks.

There was no one around so I stepped towards her and hold her hand.

"Come with me!" I said and dragged her before she could say something.

I took her to a corner where no one around and pinned her to the pillar behind her. She gasped and looked up at me with wide eyes whilst breathing heavily. I leaned down and smashed my lips on her. She gasped again in our kiss. I wrapped my arms around her bare waist and pulled her more into me. I kissed her hungrily and sucked her both lips. Caressing her bare waist slowly, I pinched it making her yelp. I took the opportunity and shoved my tongue inside her mouth.

Damn! She tastes so amazing! Like strawberry and chocolate! Mmm! She is damn good!

She was moving her lips with me in a sync. When I caressed her waist sensually, she moaned out making it more hard for me. Nibbling on her lower lip, I sucked them again and finally left her when I was out of breath. We both were breathing heavily. It was our second kiss and I want more of her. I can't get enough of this girl damn! If someone would have said some months before, that I will be getting so crazy over some girl and will love her more than anything in the world, then I would've laughed at their face. But see now, I am in so much love with this girl that I am ready to do everything for her. Everything for her smile!

I joined our foreheads and stared straight into her eyes. Her cheeks, nose and ears were covered with red tints. She was blushing furiously. I wrapped my arms more tightly around her and she put her hands on my chest making my heart flutter.

"You're looking so beautiful baby! But you need to change. I don't want any other guy's eyes on you! Hell I don't even want anyone to look at what's mine! Not even a girl!" I said possessively.

She looked up into my eyes with wide eyes. She smacked my chest all of a sudden but it didn't affect me at all.

"Ugh! Leave me Yuvi! You're being too possessive now!" She said wiggling in my arms.

Clenching my jaws, I squished her face and bring her face more closer to me.

"You're going to change this dress right now! I am not letting any other guy see what's mine! And you're mine! You're Mine Mia!!" I said in a dangerously low voice making her shiver.

"MIA! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sam's voice came startling us both.

Mia struggled more in my grip but I didn't release her.

"Promise me that you'll change this lehenga and wear something more covering!" I said in a serious tone.

She huffed out and shook her head.

"No! This lehenga was given by Rani ma to me and she gave others too! So I can't disrespect her by not wearing her given clothes. So you gotta understand this Yuvi! And you know I am yours, I am not denying this at all! Please let me wear this! Pleaseeeee!" She pleaded with puppy eyes.

God! Dia you really have to give her this lehenga Rani ma?!

I groaned but nodded.

"I've to keep an eye on you then to keep the boys away from you!" I muttered under my breath loud enough for her to hear.

She heard me and giggled. Standing on her tiptoes, she pecked my lips and ran away. I sighed and shook my head.

This is gonna be a long day!

08:26AM IST

We finally settled in the cars and I kinda forced Mia to come with me as she wanted to go with Shree. She was still sulking beside me in the passenger seat whilst I stared at her amusingly between my drive towards the temple.

She is so damn cute! And don't forget damn gorgeous too!

After a minute or two we had to leave our cars and walk the rest way as the path was very narrow and dangerous for cars. I walked closer to Mia and hold her hand in mine in a protective way whilst we walked through the bumpy path of to the temple. I saw some boys eyeing at her making me clench my fists tightly and unknowingly I tightened my hold on her hand making her wince. I froze at my place because of her wincing. I immediately loosened my hold and bring her hand to my face to have a clear look.

Oh shit!

I saw the slight red bruise on her wrist making my heart shattered in realisation that I gave her the mark and pain too.

Abhimanyu who was walking in front of us stopped and turned. Seeing a pained expression on Mia's face, he rushed to us.

"Mia! Are you okay Princess? What happened?" Abhimanyu asked.

"Y-yeah dada! I am fine!" She said assuring her brother who is now cupping her face and checking her if there's any kind of injury.

His eyes fell on the bruise of her wrist and his eyes turned dark in anger.

Shit! He will kill me! I know I did wrong but I was not in my senses!

"How did this happen Princess?" Abhi asked glaring at me.

Before Mia can say something, I replied.

"I am sorry it was my fault! I didn't know I was holding her hand that tightly! I lost my control when I saw the boys staring at her!" I said.

"You-!" Before Abhi can punch me, Mia stopped him by holding his fist.

"Dada! What are you doing? He told you he was not in his senses. And I think it's my fault, I should have changed my lehenga! Even I can feel their gazes on me and trust me it's nowhere good at all! It's not his fault!" Mia explained.

Abhimanyu looked calm and still I can feel the anger he has for me for hurting his sister. Then he frowned and looked around. When his eyes fell on the boys who were still staring at Mia, he clenched his jaws and fists again and marched towards them making Mia gasp.

"Dada!" She called out but he didn't listen.

No one from our family was around so I thanked God. Why? Because if they'd have saw this it would have been a bigger drama. There were just some of our guards surrounding us but when they saw Abhimanyu marching towards the boys, some of them followed him. Me and Mia also followed them.

"Dada! No stop!" Mia called out and finally hold his forearm before he can go any further towards the boys who now looked like they have pissed their pants.

"Mia! Leave me! I will kill them!" Abhi said in an angry tone.

"No dada! We're here for Siddharth and Shree's ceremony and I won't be able to forgive myself for creating a mess in their beautiful days! Please dada let it go! Please!" She pleaded.

Throwing a glare at them Abhi continued his journey dragging Mia with him protectively. Seeing them vanished, I turned to the boys who dared to look at what's mine. I took menacing steps towards them. They were shaking in fear and I am completely enjoying the thing.

"Look at her once again and I will rip your eyes off their sockets! And it's a promise!" I said in a low dangerous voice making them gulp.

Glaring at them I went back to the road and continued my journey. Finally after sometime of more walking we finally reached to the temple.

The architecture was so beautiful and mesmerising. I spotted everyone in front of the idol of the temple, so I also joined them there. Siddharth was sitting there in front of the idol of lord Shiva whilst Shraddha sat beside him. Sam and Mia stood beside Shree whilst dad, Varun and Sahil.

Veer, Pihu and Rani ma were sitting infront of Siddharth along with the rest ones. Prem uncle sat exactly in front of Sid. The pandit was doing some puja. I went towards them and sat beside Mia and behind Sid. Sid turned and gave me a small smile whilst I patted his back.

The pandit was chanting some mantras and worshiping lord Shiva. After the puja, Prem uncle put a Tilak on Sid's forehead. Then after sometime the whole ceremony was done. We all stood up for the aarti as pandit ji lit the diyas. We all stood with joint palms and did the aarti.

And after the ceremony was done, we finally returned to the palace.

11:40AM IST, 16th December
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

Currently we all were eating our brunch in the dining hall. The brunch was vanilla custard fruit tarts with mixed fruit smoothies.

The food was delicious and we were all starving as we didn't eat anything in the morning for the puja. After our brunch, we all went back to our rooms to rest a little. We have an important and so many works coming for us before the engagement.

11:45PM IST

Currently I was roaming around the royal garden after dinner. It feels so good after a tiring day. I was about to go inside my room when I was stopped by a hand holding mine. I turned around to see, it was none other than Hina.

Okay! What does she wants now?

Snatching my hand away from her, i made a little distance as I realised that she was standing too close to my liking.

"What is it Hina? What are you doing here and why did you stop me?" I asked in a voice with no emotions attached.

"Don't be such a prude Yuvi! I came to meet you!" She said making me frown.

She came to meet me?! What's her new plan this time?

"Whatever it is Hina! I don't want to listen it! And it's late for all these things now! So good night!" I said and turn around to leave.

But again she hold my hand and stopped me from going. Getting out of control, I harshly snatched my hand away from her.

"What's your problem Hina?" I asked irritatingly.

"What's my problem?! Then listen my problem is the way you're talking to me! Can't you give me a little amount of time from your life. Ever since that girl came to your life, you haven't even glanced at me properly! What's there so special about her that I haven't?" She asked furiously.

What the fuck?

"What the hell? When did I pay attention to you before Mia came to my life huh? And yeah, stay away from me and don't try to be too clingy! I am only Mia's. I love her just like she loves me! And you're my cousin, for god sake!" I said frustratingly gripping my hairs.

Hina looked furious at the time I finished.

"What if she die-!" I didn't let her finish the sentence as I grabbed a hold of her throat.

I squeezed it painfully clenching my jaws in anger.

"Don't you dare! I know what kind of a girl you're! Trust me! A single scratch on her body and you're dead. You don't know what can I do for her! I admit that I love her but this love has become an obsession of mine! And you know how much ruthless can I become!" I said menacingly and left her throat.

She fell down on the floor and started coughing vigorously. Glancing at her disgustingly, I left the place and went to my girl.

I needed to know that she is all okay and safe!

I finally reached to the left wing. I knocked gently on the door. After some knocks, the door finally opened revealing Sam. I sighed and went inside. I saw Mia asleep with a duvet covering her. Sitting by her side, I caressed her face and hairs with a hand whilst my other hand hold her hand in mine. She was sleeping so peacefully. And looked too cute! I pecked her forehead.

Closing the door, Sam came inside and sat on the bed on her side. She was looking at me with concern. And I know my little sister must have guessed the mood of mine and knew there was something wrong.

"What happened bhai? Do you want to share it?" She asked.

Sighing I told her about everything from Adil's threats, Avni and Dhruv Raizada's marriage proposal and now Hina's threats.

"Oh! You know what bhai! Let me tell you a thing about your girl! When we were only ten, she was kidnapped!" She said making me shocked.

I clenched my fists in anger of thinking my babygirl in danger. Scooting closer, I kissed her closed eyes.

"Avinash uncle and Devina aunty were so worried and shattered. The people who kidnapped her were some rivals of Avinash uncle. They kidnapped her infront of me from our school. I couldn't do anything as one of them hold me back tightly. Mia was crying to let her go! But they didn't! After two days she was finally found by the police force when she ran away from the place they hold her in." She explained.

"Did you know how did she escape from there?" She said whilst I looked at her curiously.

"Bhai! She bit the person who came to gave her food! Then escaped from there and came to the highway where the police found her! She was beaten bhai, they starved her too! Just to torture Avi uncle. But she never broke down, not even after her mum dad. She is strong bhai! So strong! And your love makes her more strong than before!" She said making my heart clench in pain.

She was beaten bhai, they starved her too! Just to torture Avinash uncle. But she never broke down, not even after her mum dad!!

Her words rang in my head. My baby girl was beaten? Oh god! Why her?

"Promise me bhai! That you will take care of her always! You'll love her like you do now always! You'll keep her happy just like Avinash uncle did!" Sam asked forwarding her hand infront of me.

Without wasting a second I placed my hand of hers. I glanced at my baby who has now clutched my hand with hers and snuggled up to it.

"I promise you Sam! I will love her like this forever! My love will only increase for her day after day! I promise to make her happy in every situation of our life. I will do everything for the smile on her lips! I promise to keep her safe, away from any kind of danger and in my arms forever. I will take care of her before anything! She will be safe and happy with me!" I said in a serious voice.

Sam smiled and nodded. She got up and left us alone entering the washroom. After she was gone, I brought her hand close to my lips and kissed on it.

"I promise everything I said baby! I love you meri jaan! I love you so much! Good night, I will see you tomorrow!" I said and pecked her forehead before getting up.

Glancing at her last time, I left the room and went to the opposite wing to my room. I opened the door to the room and went inside after closing the door. I saw Sid and Varun already asleep on their beds so without wasting a single second, I also went to my bed and laid down. After some time of laying down, I finally drifted off.

08:56AM IST

Currently I am inside Sam's room on their bed sitting beside Mia who is still asleep. Sam has left the room after getting ready and it is my duty now to wake Mia up. And let me tell you that it's the most difficult thing I have ever done. She is so much of a heavy sleeper. Like seriously, I am waking her up since 2 minutes but this girl hasn't even stirred a bit.

"Mia!" I said caressing her hairs.

I sighed when there was no response. I smirked when an awesome idea hit my mind out of nowhere. Grinning widely, I got up and went towards her leg. Removing the blanket from her legs, I tickled her bare feets. She squirmed and groaned. Grinning more widely because she is ticklish, I continued my work. I tickled more furiously making her giggle and jerk up from her bed. Now she sat on the bed with puffy eyes and a nest of a hairstyle which looked damn cute on her. She has a pout on her lips and glaring at me constantly.

Shit!

"YUVRAJ!" She yelled before chasing me.

But before she could catch me, I sprinted out of the room and went downstairs to the living room. I stopped infront of the couches of the living room. Veer who was sitting there doing some paperworks cocked an eyebrow at me. I just shrugged and controlled my breaths. I slumped down on a couch. Sahil came and sat beside me.

"Good morning Guys!" Sahil greeted.

We muttered a good morning in return. My phone rang so I took it out of my pant pockets and picked it up after seeing that it's Karan (his assistant).

09:35AM IST

We were still sitting in the living room couch but Varun and Sid has joined us along with Sam, Abhimanyu and Armaan. Mia came to the living room with a scowl on her beautiful face and glared at me. She was wearing a multicoloured dress which had a full sleeve on one arm and just a thin strap on the other with a pair of white nike shoes.

"Good morning guys!" She muttered a good morning to all and plopped down beside her brother snuggling up to his arm.

Smiling Abhi wrapped his arm around her making her snuggle to his chest. But still she glared at me.

"What happened princess? Why such a bad mood in the morning?" Abhi asked pecking her forehead.

"Yeah what happened to you? And what's with the scowl and glares to Yuvi bhaiya?" Sam asked.

"Someone woke me up early! And I was tired!" She said glaring at me.

I gulped when I saw Abhi following his sister's eyes. He saw me and glared at me with a scowl on his face. Now both of them were glaring at me. I heard snickers around me and I turned to see Sid, Varun, Sahil, Armaan and Veer were snickering. I scowled at them.

"Mia!" Devina aunty called.

"Yeah Mumma! Coming!" Mia said and left the room, getting up.

I sighed in relief. But I still have a mission to accomplish. Mission make it up to Mia!

09:45PM IST

I slowly tiptoed inside Mia's room to start the mission. My friends, Sam and bhaiya bhabhi helped me in this. So currently Sam isn't in the room. I saw her sitting beside the window and gazing outside towards the sky. She looked so peaceful and beautiful with her hairs open which flew with the wind as the windows were open. Closing the door, softly behind me, I slowly went upto her. Reaching her, I brought the jar infront of her face with a little distance not to make her startled. She gasped at first but then her eyes widened at the jar infront of her.

Then she turned and saw me.

"W-what is this Yuvraj?" She asked.

"Did you like it baby?" I asked sitting beside her.

She smiled widely and nodded vigorously. She took the jar from me and gazed at it with a beautiful smile. I smiled seeing her happy. Yep it was a mason jar filled with blue coloured fairy lights. I got to know that she loves different kinds of lights especially fairy lights that's why her favourite festival is diwali.

"You liked it?" I asked again wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah! I loved it!" She said.

"Then get up we've somewhere to be!" I said getting up and forwarding my hand towards her. She frowned.

"Where?" She asked putting her hand in mine.

I took the jar and placed it aside on the table and dragged her out of the room.

"It's a surprise love!" I said.

Soon we were out of the palace and I took her towards the backside of the palace towards the woods.

"You're not going to kill me there right?" She asked playfully.

"What if I will?" I said with a smirk.

I took out the blindfold from my pocket and went behind her.

"What? A blindfold?!" She shrieked.

"Shh! It will be worth it, I promise!" I said binding the cloth on her eyes.

"Come on I will guide you okay?" I said wrapping my one arm around her waist and with another hand I hold her hand.

She hummed in response and we walked through the woods. After sometime we finally reached the place so I went behind her and opened her blindfold. When she finally opened her eyes, she gasped at the sight in front of her.

"Wow!" She blurted out loud.

I smiled when her eyes shone in happiness and she smiled widely making her dimples poked out. We were on the cliff and the whole Jodhpur looked so beautiful and enchanting from here.

"It's so beautiful!" She said.

She turned to me and hugged my torso. Smiling I wrapped my arms around her small waist.

"Thank you so much for bringing me here Yuvi! It was one of the best experience of my life! Simple but so so gorgeous!" She said.

I pecked her forehead and tightened my arms around her holding her close to me.

*CLICK*

That's when we heard a click sound so we turned around to see who it was. And we found Sam and Varun with smiling sheepishly at us. And they were holding a mobile to our side that means they clicked a photo of us. I cursed internally because of these two who won't even let me have some moments with my girl.

"Don't get angry Raj! You will be chuffed to see this picture! Here!" Varun said and gave me the phone.

I took the mobile from him and saw the picture which he took of us.

"It's amazing!" I said looking at it.

"Yeah it is! But stop looking at that, look at Mia and her blushing face first!" Sam said.

I snapped my head to see Mia blushing furiously. She smacked Sam on her arm and dragged her back towards the palace. We laughed and followed them behind.

Next Day, 18th December
Engagement Ceremony
05:40PM IST
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

It is the engagement evening. I last time checked myself in the mirror.

I took my phone and the ring I have bought for her and went out of the room. I went downstairs and saw some guests were already here and the party has already started. I spotted mum, dad with Alia. I walked up to them and sat beside mum.

"Hey mum, you're looking gorgeous! & Dad you're rocking the suit!" I said.

"Thank you baby! You're looking so handsome my boy!" Mum said.

"What about me?" Alia said with a pout.

I smiled and took her into my lap from mum's.

"You're looking gorgeous princess!" I said pecking her cheeks. She giggled and pecked my cheeks.

"Mia! Come here beta!" Mum called out making my head snap into the direction mum was looking at.

My breath hitched when I saw her there standing in her glory with Sam and Shree.

She was wearing a blood red gown which was sleeveless and showing her milky white skin. The dress hugged her till up to her knees and flow freely from their. Yeah it was a fishtail gown. Her hair was tied behind her back. She looked simply breathtaking.

She heard mum calling so she came to us with Sam and Shree with a smile adorning her beautiful face.

"Wow! You guys are looking amazing! You too princess! You're looking so cute! Come here!" Mia said and took Alia from me.

Alia hold her by her neck as she took her in her arms. Alia was smiling brightly whilst talking to Mia and they both were occassionally giggling.

"Attention guys!" Varun said through mic from the stage.

"Thank you so much for attending this important day of our lives! Today two soul is getting engaged. Though they have been from some days! But these ceremony is to tie them together for the rest of their lives with an auspicious way! So now I would like to invite my dearest friend Sid and Shree on the stage!" He announced.

Everyone clapped. Siddharth came and took Shree's hand guiding her on the stage. They stood beside Varun.

"Um Sid! You still have a chance to run away before getting slaughtered by marrying Shraddha! Okay?" Varun said earning a smack from Shree and chuckles from the whole hall.

Pandit ji came and stood in the middle in front of the idol of lord Ganesha. We also stood up and went towards the stage. Prem uncle stood beside Shree along with Sam, Pihu, Alia, Mia and Armaan. And mum, dad, Duggu bhaiya, Priyanka Bhabhi, me, Sahil, Varun and Veer stood beside Sid. Alia brought the tray which held the engagement rings.

Pandit ji did the puja of the rings and put tilak on Sid and Shree's forehead.

"Now you can exchange the rings!" Pandit ji said.

Nodding dad gave Shree's ring to Sid whilst Prem uncle gave Sid's ring to Shree. Shree has the ring on her neck as a necklace which was given by Sid. So Sid took Shree's hand in his and slid the ring down. We along with the crowd cheered, hooted, whistled and clapped. Then Shree did the same and make Sid wore his ring.

"Congratulations to Siddharth and Shraddha for their engagement!" The DJ cheered.

We made them sit on the thrones to the side of the stage and got down. We all took photos with Sidra and many people came and blessed them.

"Okay! So before ending the night here, I would like to call the beautiful new couple on the stage for a dance! Kya bolti hai publiccc!" Dj roared through the mic.

We cheered and took Sid and Shree to the middle of the stage and got down. I stood beside Mia wrapping my arm around her waist. She looked up at me and gave me a smile with a slight red tint on her cheeks.

"Soo here's a lovely song for youuuu!" Dj roared again.

The song - Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say

I leaned down to Mia's ear and whispered.

"Soon that will be us!" She blushed and snuggled close to my chest making my heart swell in happiness.

Leaning close again I started to sing the song along in her ear.

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

I sang the last line and pecked her lips making her blush even more. And the crowd clapped.

Author's Note

Hello Readers! Sorry for the late update. I am back in London so I guess I will be updating more from now.

This chapter contains 7672+ words and I am kinda satisfied with my this chapter. It just went well as I wanted it to be. I hope you enjoyed the both ceremonies. Yeah I know I could have done the engagement part in the next chapter but guys you gotta understand that it's not Mia and Yuvraj's engagement instead it's their friends so I didn't go in much detail.

I would definitely add more details in their ceremonies for sure. Wanted to ask a question! So do you want me to update everyone's outfit for the ceremonies or is it okay to post the pictures of only Sidra, Mia and Yuvraj? Tell me about it in the comment section.

Diwali is coming and it's my favourite festival. In the UK, we celebrate diwali in the same way you guys do in India. I love to lit the home and do rangoli (I'm not that good at it!) Dad brings different types of sweets. We decorate the house with flowers and diyas/candles. I don't do crackers though as they pollutes the surroundings and also harmful for the animals and bird along with humans.

So this Diwali! Spend time with your family and friends. Do not use crackers and all. Take care of your pets along with the animals and birds out there. Keep yourself safe and stuffed with sweets.😁

Haha I know I can be hilarious sometimes. And I would post the pictures of my daily bits from diwali on the next chapter.

Happy Diwali from me to all of you in advance. Stay safe and lit.

Take care

See you soon xx
