4th march 2024

Everyone is preparing for mayun function.. here umeed and Abeer are running here and there checking all the preparations.. after double checking all the preparations umeed goes to check Meerab if she got ready or not .. while Abeer went to get ready herself... when umeed came out of Meerab's room she saw Anila coming towards her .. Anila comes near umeed and stops her ..

Anila : Arey umeed beta tum taiyar nahi hui abhi Tak .. beta Jaldi jao aur taiyar hoker aao neecha .. sab arrangements ho gaye hai ache se ab bas 15-20 minute main rasam bhi shuru ho jayegi .. tum abhi seedha apna room Main jakar taiyar ho ..

Umeed (smiling ): aap fikr na karein khala, main bas ab taiyar hone hi jaa Rahi thi , abhi Meerab ko hi dekhna aai thi ki voh taiyar ho gai ki nhi .. Anila nodes and umeed leaves for her room .

Upon reaching her room she picks up her dress and goes to get ready in yellow colour lehnga ..

Umeed's dress

Umeed was setting her dupatta on her shoulders when farjaad came inside the room , he had worn light golden kurta and paired it with white salwar for the function.., he was looking handsome as always ..

Farjaad's outfit

Looking at his beautiful wife in yellow  peplum lehnga he was all whipped all over again .. all the way he came into romantic mood now .. he came near her and while hugging her he started peppering kisses on her neck but our zalim umeed detached herself from his grip of love and leaves the room giving him air kisses to tease him even more .. while in the room farjaad just ruffled his hair with a broad smile on his lips and moves out of the room going behind his gorgeous wife ..

Whereas in another room Meerab tricking everyone goes towards kitchen and brings haldi paste in a small bowl . Moving upstairs again she moves inside Murtasim's room as it was already open she didn't get any problem going inside. Inside the room murtasim was setting his hair and dupatta he was wearing around his neck looking into the mirror.

When Meerab came inside the room he heard someone's voice of footsteps so he turned slightly towards the door and got frozen in his place looking at his mayun bride all mesmerised .. he was dressed up in white kurta pajama and yellow stall around his neck looking so dashing and handsome... whereas Meerab had worn a beautiful garara of off white colour with intricate golden embroidery over it .. she had paired her look with flower jewellery which was making her even more attractive and elegant..

Coming towards her he kept looking at her alluring look as he could not help himself looking her .. he came closer to her caressed her cheeks in trance sliding away the strands off her cheeks ..

she gasps in shock but relaxed at his touch after sometime. Her smile adorned her lips automatically looking into his eyes which was carrying all the love for her in them making her feel warm and giddy . The touch was kind of electric that the current passed through her spine ..

After niharofying his sunshine closely he brings his right hand down on her neck and slowly sliding from her arm and keeps his hand on her waist and sliding his hand inside her kurti he caresses it softly making sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable under his touch.. when he did that she sucks a large gulp of breath .

Slowly he takes the paste of haldi from the bowl she had brought with her from his right hand . He then slowly lifts her Kurti and sensually puts the haldi paste on her midriff still looking into her eyes trying to gauge the reaction from her and not even daring to look down when he was marking her as his .. he applies haldi at the area of neck now which is covered with the dupatta .. upon seeing him doing the deed her breathing got uneven but his eyes were so captivating that she couldn't close her eyes to feel those sensations deeply .

"Yeh .. yeh ky..aa kar rahe hain aap ..? "Meerab asked stuttering slightly ..

Murtasim without replying her removes her hair and puts them on one side of shoulder and applies some of the paste on her upper back as it has a deep neck carried it with Dori to support the dress to keep at place.

Then leans forward in a hug and kisses 😘 her nape and brings his hands back and ties the knots of the Dori as it was open but was covered in the curtain of her long hair . As he ties the knot he puts back her hair on it's initial position then stands properly and says ..

" Apni dulhan ko haldi laga raha hoon ..." Murtasim said love shining in his eyes ..

Meerab then takes some paste on her finger and puts it on his nose playfully  and doing so she says ..

"Mera dulhe sahab if you are forgetting after haldi dulha dulhsn can't meet till their wedding so main jau phir .." Meerab said softly teasing him .

Murtasim jerks her towards him by his left hand and nudges her nose with his transferring some of the haldi on her nose and says ..,

" per main toh apni pyari si dulhan ko Roz Har wakt dekhna chahta hun apni aankhon ke samne aur sabse pehla haq toh mera hai na apko haldi lagana ka ? Aur main toh sirf soch raha tha per aapna toh Mera iss khawab ko haqeeqat main Badal diya .. hain na mera haq ?" Murtasim asked with a hope and love 🧡 shining in his beautiful expressive eyes..

Listening him Meerab leans in towards him and whispers softly looking feeling into his eyes..

" Mujhse Jude sare haq sirf apko hi hain tasim .." Meerab said her lips were almost brushing on his jawline ..

Rest of the distance left between their lips were covered by Murtasim.. He was about to put his lips on hers but she at that time became really shy and looks away annnd his lips lands on the side of her lips .. automatically a sweet smile appears on his lips and in that kiss he expresses all his feelings he was feeling right now . Meerab moves her hand in his hair involuntary and pulls him closer to her .

Murtasim deepens the kiss on her face and brings her closer to him by her waist. This time meerab too responds to him by kissing him back on the side of his lips eagerly.. their kiss was not passionate instead it was soft and sensually sweet . After sometime Murtasim breaks the kiss and puts his forehead on hers with closed eyes to steady his breathing and racing heart beat .

Meerab's breathing was still uneven so he hugs her tightly starts rubbing her back toh calm her down .. they stands like that for sometime forgetting all about the ceremony that was about to happen down in the lawn .. then she takes the paste of haldi in her hand from the bowl that was kept on the dresser and lovingly applies on his cheeks . In playfulness he rubs his cheeks on hers which transfers the paste on her cheeks making her red rosey cheeks more crimson with a blush and yellow with haldi ..

(Something like this )

OUTSIDE IN THE GARDEN..

Preparations for mayun ceremony has been done in garden area .. the garden was decorated with yellow flowers and curtains in front of the strands of flowers.. and then the sitting area was a small sofa for bride and groom. Around them was all decorated with different things .., at one sit there were a patter of gajra were placed , in other one were flowers , some sweets and in other was haldi paste ..

Even around the garden was sitting arrangements for people to sit and sing dholki for the bride and groom..

Where the bride and groom going to sit was beautifully decorated with the canopy of pink flowers ., everyone were ready for performing the haldi ceremony.. everyone had worn matching outfits for the ceremony as girls and ladies had worn sarees , suits or lehngas whereas boys and gents had worn kurta pajama .. everyone were looking beautiful but our bride was looking like a doll in garara suit and flower jewellery adorned on her .

Entrance

Sanam : Arey Saba (meerab's friend) Meerab kahan hain bhai mujha laga voh tumhare sath aayegi ..

Saba : main toh khud meerab ko dhund Rahi hun jab se mili hi nhi mujha toh , mujha laga aap le aaye honga usse neecha toh main yahi aa gai ..

Junaid coming from other side aur bhai bhi pata nhi kaha hai main bhi unhe dhund raha hun toh mujha bhi laga voh aa gaye honga ..

Sanam : kya dono Gayab hain aur voh yaha bhi nhi aaye .. ab kya karein dhundo dono ko pata nhi konsi nayi khichadi paka rahe hain dono ..

Umeed comes from behind and says , "thodi der pehle maine Meerab ko Murtasim ke room ke pass wale corridor msin dekha tha kahin dono sath toh nahi ? "

Junaid : maine toh bhai ka room check kiya tha voh waha nahi the per apko bhabhi mili thi ?

Umeed : Haan Junaid main room main kuch bhul gai thi wahi lena gai thi tabhi maine Meerab ko waha dekha tha . Chalo phir main dono ko bula lati hun ..

Shahmeer : main bhi tumhare sath chalta hun umeed ..

Umeed : okay chalo ..

As umeed and shahmeer were about to go inside the house to bring the couple when they all saw the bride and the groom are coming hand in hand with a smile on their faces never leaving .

Upon them coming closer to the bacha party they saw their cheeks were covered with haldi paste so to tease both of them they pretended that they knew nothing..

Shahmeer: Oye kaha reh Gaya the tu sab tera wait kar rahe hain (after a dramatic pause) ek minute ek minute yeh toh Batao Zara yeh kahan se lagai apne dulhe Raja ( he asks wiping haldi from his brother's cheeks with his forefinger and shows it to everyone.

Umeed : Haan Meerab aur tum kahan se lagwa lai yeh haldi abhi toh haldi function shuru bhi nhi hua ..

Sanam : aur mujha tum room main bhi nhi mili thi kahan Gayab thi tum ?

Murtasim : ahhh ohh .. guys voh .. amm .. voh main .. main toh kitchen main tha na actually meri skin sensitive hai aur Meerab ki bhi toh main toh voh hi check karne Gaya tha ki theek bhi hai isliya haldi cheeks per lag gai hogi ..

Umeed ( teasing them ) : Haan aur humari Era apki help kar Rahi hongi right ?

Meerab starts blushing listening to their teasing comments and starts stuttering ..

" voh .. voh .. actually.. " Meerab stutters

But Murtasim saw that she is blushing and is in no position to speak anything and before anyone else could tease them more he chimes in ..

" shahmeer umeed stop it guys .. an bhut ho Gaya , ab Shayad late nahi ho raha aap logon ko rasam ka liya ? " Murtasim said in tone of finality

Shahmeer: ji chaliya ..

They reached on correct time everyone were already present all prepared and were just waiting for both of them to come so that they could apply haldi on them ..

Then both sat together on the sofa and one by one all applied haldi on both the bride and groom giving lots of duas and blessings .. and behind them ladies were playing dholak singing folk songs for the ceremony..

When they heard the song sang by the ladies they looked at each other with a smile ..

Song : Preet Rang Haldi Prem Se Lagao

Ho o ho o ho o..
O.. o.. o..

Preet rang haldi prem se lagaao
Shagun shubh mangal vyaah geet gaao
Preet rang haldi prem se lagaao
Shagun shubh mangal vyaah geet gaao

Komal ang nikhaare haldi
Tann shringaar sanwaare haldi
Kamal tann komal, kanak banaao
Preet rang haldi prem se lagaao
Shagun shubh mangal vyaah geet gaao

Raam ke tann par sohe haldi
Shobha kahin jaaye raghuvar ki

Ho o ho o ho o..
O.. o.. o..

Sagal deviyaan naari roop dhar
Haldi lagaati siye ke tann par
Sagal deviyaan naari roop dhar
Haldi lagaati siye ke tann par
Siye ki shobha nirakh nirakh kar
Dharti harshit charan chum kar

Sukhad shran aaye mangal manaao
Sukhad shran aaye mangal manaao

Preet rang haldi prem se lagaao
Shagun shubh mangal vyaah geet gaao
Kamal tann komal, kanak banaao
Preet rang haldi prem se lagaao
Shagun shubh mangal vyaah geet gaao

Second song .. Tan Pe Haldi Lagi Lagi

Tan pe haldi lagi lagi
Dekho dulhan khili khili
Tan pe haldi lagi lagi
Dekho dulhan khili khili

Ye haldi, ye haldi
Ye haldi banno tera rang nikharegi
Kanchan sa ang sanwaaregi

Shubh hai haldi
shubh ye ghadi hai
Sab kuchh subh ho jayega

Haldi ke chhune se tera
Ye tann aur mann rang jayega

Ye haldi, ye haldi
Ye haldi banno tera rang nikharegi
Kanchan sa ang sanwaaregi

Sun o dulhan ab na nikalna
Baahar is darwaje se
Jab tak tujhko lene na aaye
Tere piya darwaje pe

Ye haldi, ye haldi
Ye haldi banno tera rang nikharegi
Kanchan sa ang sanwaaregi

Listening the song girls started dancing on the lyrics ..

After the rituals are done elders moves to stand at one side while all the youngsters starts playing Holi with haldi . Farjaad takes handful of haldi in his hands and applies on umeed's cheeks from behind. Umeed who in return starts running behind him with handful of haldi but in midway her leg got stuck somewhere in the ground and she looses her balance due to which all the haldi got transferred on hannan's cheeks who was standing near by in retaliation he too starts applying haldi to others .

Irtaza too moves towards Meerab to apply haldi silently from behind but at the last minute she moves away from there and instead his wife Saba comes on his way so all the haldi was on Saba's face now . For revenge Saba too starts running behind her husband and when she caught him huffing and laughing she applied haldi all over his face and ran away ..

Shibra too apply haldi on shahmeer from behind while he was conversing with Umair but he didn't warn him about this act of hers , after applying haldi on his face she ran away from there as fast as she could in her lehnga.. but shahmeer is being the best runner or say faster than his wife for nothing . He caught her in no time before she could run farther.. he turns her around to face him in his arms and holds her tightly with his arms wrapped around her waist .

Shahmeer ( grumpily ): yeh kya hai biwi .. apne mujha haldi kyun lagai ?

Shibra ( shrugging her shoulders): mera devar aur apka bhai ki haldi hai toh hum aapko kaisa chod sakta hai shohar ji .. vese bhi aaj sab itna khush hai ki everyone around is playing haldi Holi with his / her partner . And by the way aap humare shohar hain , toh hum jo chahe karein apke sath .. humari marzi ..

Shahmeer ( happiness shinning in his eyes): you know mujha bhut acha lagta hai jab aap apna haq mujhper jatati hain .. vese agar esi baat hai toh phir hum bhi aap ko nahi chod sakta na , agar hum apke hai toh aap bhi toh humari biwi hai , aapko yunhi kaisa jaane dun ..

And he leans his face towards her and rubs his cheeks with her transferring haldi from his face to hers .. shibra even after an year of their marriage she was feeling a whole lots of butterflies in her stomach and her breathing got a little uneven by his close proximity but still she let him do whatever he was doing as she could feel his love in this small gesture of his . She stands in his arms wrapped around her waist while her hands were on his shoulders and eyes closed feeling the warmth he was emitting.

Shahmeer moves his face back and looks at her pink face and smiles seeing his wife's condition. He places a lingering kiss on her forehead and says ..

Shahmeer : I love you shibra ..

Shibra opens her eyes only to look into his eyes and says with a broad smile..

Shibra : I love you too shahmeer urf mera Fazal Baksh .. she says this name just to tease him a bit ..

Shahmeer smiles listening to her saying this and they joins their forehead and stands there just like that for some time lost in each other.

Here haya was watching all the couples were running in the river of romance and love with their partners. Even the single ones were enjoying with their own company playing with water and haldi . But she ... she was fuming in sheer jealousy bubbling inside her heart .

She wants to be in place of Meerab . She wants Murtasim to talk to her just like he does with Meerab all day long even now .. she wants him to acknowledge her presence but , but he wasn't even looking at her direction for once .. she even tried talking to him or acted like she is about to fall down but nothing worked..

For him only Meerab exists in his world .. they were lost in each other playing their own haldi Holi .. they were just making memories by clicking pictures together.. Meerab was playing with flowers and he was watching her doing so with a smile .. she took round when she threw flowers in the air and they came back on her like a shower . She was all smiling doing that..

Then they both sits on the couch and she sits down on the ground keeping her elbow on his thigh looking towards him and palm on her cheeks while he looking in front in the camera..

Then she takes handful of flowers in her hand and threw them on him while with a smile he sets his shawl around his shoulder..

Then they apply haldi to each other looking into each other's eyes.. eyes shining with love and affection all for them leaving behind the world outside the league of their cocoon of love . Like this they clicked lots of pictures of them together and done solos ..

Watching all this haya was boiling in anger and was about lash out at them any minute as she could not see them together. But haya was warned by mariyam and other cousins before hand to not to create any problems in their brother's life and function from now on as he is getting married to his girl . But she wants him attention by hook or by crook so she plans something big ..

Fari took all her revenge on Junaid by literally drenching him in the haldi paste as she has poured complete bowl on him .

Kashaf zaroon's wife was applying haldi on Neha's face but when she sees zaroon coming towards her with haldi on his palms she runs away from there pushing her on Adam who was standing near by looking at his neha lovingly. She fell on him in such a way that haldi from her face transformed on his cheeks and hands on his shoulders.

As she suddenly came into his arms he got misbalanced and he fell back pushing Aaryan towards his wife dr marayam who were talking to each other standing behind Adam .

Neha (standing straight): I .. I am so.. sorry Adam , voh actually.. Maine .. main jaanker tum per nahi giri voh toh kashaf api...

Adam ( holding her securily): Haan haan I know it's okay , vese bhi it's not first time ki tum mujh per pehli baar kuch laga rahi ho ya gir Rahi ho ..

She looks here and there that if any one had seen them or not .. she was feeling really shy 🙈 now and her cheeks were burning due to blush while Adam was just staring down at her with a big smile on his lips..

But two pair of eyes noticed their whole scene with the smile and prays that at the end of the wedding they both may confess their love to each other .

TO BE CONTINUED ...
