Swara's POV-

The engagement was over and I went home with everyone. A week passed in a jiffy and it was Aryan's and Tanya's wedding today and I was so excited. I had taken leave for two days so that I could help aunty in each way possible. After uncle had passed away, she just got support from Aryan and members of her side of the family.

Mumma has also been very persistent on me to help everyone there and I am very thankful for that or else that idiot would be doing all the work.

Aditya was off to Delhi for all week because of some emergency there and was supposed to return by afternoon.

" Swara beta, you go to Aryan's place and see if Mrs. Bisht requires anything." Papa said as he walked in the living room.

" Yes papa. I was just about to leave for there. I'll go with them to the venue. You, mumma and grandpa meet me there." I said and he nodded.

Then, collecting my bag which contained all my clothes, sandals and all I asked Radhe kaka to drop me and so he did.

There, aunty was busy with work and so was Aryan.

" Okay guys, now relax. I am here. Aunty, you please go and take rest for a while or you'll end up falling sick." I said, pushing her inside the room and surprisingly, she obliged without an argument.

" Now Aryan, please tell me that your sherwani is ready for today?" I asked, hoping the answer to be positive.

" Yes S, it is. Kept in my room." He replied.

Thank god!

" Okay, so you take care of everything here and I am going to the venue to inspect everything. It has to be perfect." I muttered.

" I'll come with you." He offered.

" No Aryan, it's your wedding so stop worrying about things. Besides, you need to see through stuff here." I knocked sense into him.

Hesitantly, but he did listen to me.

" S, just please take it easy with the arrangements there." He said, with a teasing glint in his eyes.

" Yeah....yeah. I promise that I won't blast as long as things are okay there." I assured him the most I could and then went away.

Reaching there, thankfully everything was going on at good pace. Tanya's father was overseeing things.

" Hello uncle." I greeted him.

" Oh, hello beta. Here to supervise?" He asked and I nodded in a yes, smiling.

" Okay beta, I'll be off home now that you are here. Lot's to be done there too." He said.

" Yes uncle, rest assured here. And also, when the baarat starts from Aryan's home, I'll make a call to you. Then you start for here." I told him.

" Thank you beta." He kept a hand on my head, smiled and walked away.

" Bhaiya, jaldi jaldi haath chalao, zara bhi time nahi hai." I addressed the workers. ( Translation - Please get the work done quickly, there hardly is any time. )

By god's grace, everything was done smoothly. I had called to Aryan a few times to see if everything was going well there, and indeed, it was.

It was seven in the evening when I started back for his home. The baarat was scheduled to leave for 7:30 but dude, this is India. Nothing ever happens on time here.

As I was on my way back, the car suddenly stopped.

" What happened kaka?" I asked him.

" I don't know bitiya. You sit while I see." He said, getting down.

In a while, he came over and told me that a part of the car has been damaged. It won't start.

" Oho....I will be so late." I muttered to myself while looking for cabs or auto or anything.

" Bitiya, there is a mechanic shop just here. I'll call him." He said and I nodded.

In a while, the mechanic looked over and said that it will take at least two hours to repair it.

" Beta, you take a taxi and go while I get this car repaired." Kaka said and I nodded.

But both uber and ola cancelled on me because this was a place pretty far from the city.

Finally, I saw a car round the corner and waved my hand in hope of lift. Luckily, the car did stop for me.

" Thank god bappa. Or Aryan would have killed me. As it is, my phone is dead now." I muttered as I walked to the driving seat of the car when I saw that it was Aditya's driver.

" Swara, what are you doing here alone? Come on, sit." Aditya asked, with a frown on his face.

I narrated the whole incident to him.

" I'll drop you there." He offered and I nodded.

Then he instructed the driver to take us to Aryan's place.

" But what are you doing here?" I asked him. He was supposed to be back by afternoon only and by the looks of it, he was returning from the airport.

" The work got slightly delayed and so we had to take off late." He informed me.

" So whatever the issue there was, sorted?" I asked him.

" Yes, the contract finally came through. But I did miss you there Mrs. Kapoor." He said, taking my hand in his.

" I missed you too!" I replied, resting my head on his shoulder.

All the fatigue was getting away. This whole week, he was so busy and so was I that we didn't even talk over the phone once.

It took us the next forty minutes to reach Aryan's place.

" I'll see you in sometime?" I posed, more like a question because he may not be coming because of getting tired, working all day.

" Yes Mrs. Kapoor, I am not willing to lose any chance that I get to spend time with you." He replied.

Oh god! His so blunt and straightforward answers make me go speechless all the time!

" I'll leave now." I said but he did not leave my hand.

He then leaned into me and pecked my lips and then let my hand go.

" Now go." He said, making me blush. Thank god it was dark and hence, he couldn't see my face.

I stepped down and went inside, still smiling.

" S, what is wrong with you? Where have you been and your phone is also switched off. Do you know how afraid uncle and aunty were. They called here and I had to lie that you are busy with something just to calm them down!" He said, coming to me.

" Long story. But right now, not the priority. But you look so handsome in this sherwani!" I exclaimed, hugging him.

" Swara beta, the muhurat for aarti is here. It has to be done by groom's sister but since he has no sister and you are the closest to him, i want you to do it." She came and whispered to me.

" But aunty, his cousins might feel bad." I replied.

" Doesn't matter S. All that matters is, you are my best friend and sister. You have always been here for me, even then when you were not." He replied, and my eyes immediately got moist.

" You know that I love you idiot. Fine, I will do it. Just give me fifteen minutes to get ready." I said and he nodded but aunty objected.

" Beta, you have to do it right now, panditji has been screaming for the last half an hour. You do it and then get ready while a few other rituals happen before leaving." She told us and I nodded.

I did his aarti and he gave me an envelop full of cash! Wohooo!!

" Okay beta, get ready now." Aunty said and I went to Aryan's room where my bag was kept.

Definitely, it took me half an hour to get ready in the contrary as promised of fifteen minutes but hey....it's my best friend's wedding! And also, I had to take a shower because of all the dirt.

Swara's Look-

I was right on time and the baarat started for the venue. I had called and informed uncle about the same.

I danced my ass off and dragged Aryan too who was sitting on the pony.

It was so fun!

" Aryan, promise me that we won't lose our crazy what we have just because both of us are married now." I asked him while we were dancing.

" Are you crazy? Of course we will not!" He shouted for me to hear and I hugged him.

" S, by the way, you are also getting married in the next two weeks, for real this time." He said.

" Idiot, the last time I got married was also for real only." I replied, smacking his hand.

" You know what I mean." He replied and I rolled my eyes.

Since the venue was far off, we then used the car to reach after baarat was done.

Reaching there, many people had already reached. Mumma, papa, grandpa, mom, dad, Karan, Preeti and Aditya. All of them.

As we walked in, Aryan and aunty went to the mandal while I went to my family.

" Swara, why were you not picking your phone? I had to call Aryan then. He told me that you were busy with some work." Mumma scolded me as soon as I went up to them.

" I was busy mumma, as Aryan told you." I muttered and then looked at Aditya to threaten him to not say anything but instead found him looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

I begged him through my eyes not to say anything and he obliged thankfully.

Later, as the ceremony started, everyone started getting engrossed in that. Tanya was looking stunning in her pastel pink lehenga while Aryan was in the gold, ivory work sherwani.

" So Mrs. Kapoor, did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight? As much so that all I can see here right now is you." I heard Aditya's voice ringing in my ears.

" Thank you!" I replied, looking at him and leaned my head on his arm, still throwing flowers as Aryan and Tanya took the pheres.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

" You remember when we were taking pheres last six years back?" I asked.

" Yes, I am fuming with anger." He replied, chuckling.

" And I was cursing the panditji who was thoroughly explaining the meaning of the seven rounds. I just kept on thinking how none of it would matter and I would do exactly the opposite of what he was saying." I told him, smiling.

" Well that is typical of you." He said, without even mincing his words as I rolled my eyes.

" This time, I will listen to all of them carefully instead of mocking them." I promised him.

" And I will do all of it happily instead of fuming with anger." He said.

" You better." I added.

" By the way, technically, we will be taking fourteen rounds altogether. Does that mean we are bound for fourteen lives?" I asked, looking at him.

" Mrs. Kapoor, you are bound to me for as many births as we take. There is going to be no one else. Even if you try running away from me, I'll just pull you back to myself." He said, looking into my eye.

" Don't worry, I am done running away at least for this lifetime." I replied, meekly and heard him chuckle.

" That's a pretty good assurance." He replied and I smiled.

" I'll just be back. Need some water." I told him, stepping a little away from him.

" I'll go with you." He said and I nodded, walking next to him.

As we walked to the counter, I felt the hook of my blouse getting loose and in a jiffy, it was off.

Shit! I immediately held on to the back of the blouse with my hand and stopped walking.

Maybe not noticing me beside him, Aditya turned back to look at me.

" Swara, what happened?" He asked as a frown formed and a few wrinkles on his forehead.

" Umm....my....my blouse." I replied, hesitating. I didn't what to tell him.

" What?" He asked, his frown deepening.

Looking at my hands, he must have realized what has happened and immediately took his coat off, wrapping it around me. I held on to it tightly.

" Thank you." I said.

" You should have seen the dress properly Swara before wearing." He schooled me.

" I did and the hook is not broken. I must have not tucked it in properly." I replied, looking at him.

" Come with me." He said, entangling my fingers with his and took me inside one of the rooms of the hotel booked by us. He waited for me to finish, turning the other side.

I took his coat off and tried to hook it up but couldn't do it somehow.

" Are you done?" He asked, turning to me and saw me juggling with the hook.

" You could have asked for help Swara." He said as he walked towards me. Then turning me around by my shoulders, he did the hook within no time and I felt his lips on my back, making me shiver with the contact.

" Aditya...pe....people must be finding us outside." I stammered.

Surprisingly, he did stop.

" Mrs. Kapoor, you have your excuses all ready for now, but how will you escape once we get married again and you move in with me?" He asked, smirking.

I wore the dupatta, blushing, and then decided to reply.

" Maybe then, I won't want to run away." I answered and ran away from the room. Oh the irony!

Thankfully, no one noticed my dissapearance as I got back and stood near the mandap, Aditya came and stood next to me but I couldn't look at him for some reason.

He did not tease me further, just tucked a loose strand which was on my face to the back of my ear.

" Better, I love that blush adorning your cheeks right now." He made a statement, making me redder, if possible.

This man has changed so much in the course of the six years! It's unbelievable!

" I did not change Mrs. Kapoor. You grew up." I heard him say.

Did I say that out aloud! I windened my eyes at that possibility.

" Yes, you did." He said again, chuckling.

" No, you did change." I defended myself.

" I did not. I was just the same. The only difference is that I didn't want you to focus on anything than making your future at that time. This could always wait." He said, making his respect in my eyes grow a thousand folds more.

" I love you." I whispered to him, holding onto his arm.

" I love you too." He confessed again. I loved it each time he said that to me and I sighed in content.

In about the next four hours, the wedding was completed and it was time to vidaai.

Everything happened and all the rituals were done.

" Mrs. Agnihotri, if you don't mind, can I take Swara home? There are still a few rituals that the sister of the groom has to do." Aunty asked mumma and she was more than ready to say yes.

I bid bye to mom, dad and Aditya. Karan and Preeti had already left before as it was not advisable to stay up for to for so long.

Reaching his home, I did everything expected of me and earned a lot of money, emptying Aryan's pockets.

Cheering Tanya up was a part of the job too and I was brilliant at that.

Then, as I was about to leave for home, aunty did not let me and made me sleep in the guest room, stating that the daughters of the house don't go out when too tired.

I truly am lucky to not just have two lovely homes, but three!
