Vaibhav stood like a culprit in the middle of his brothers and sisters. He feels like he is in a court room as an accused one. He saw Vaigha giggling seeing his helpless state. He couldn't tolerate her joining with his siblings to question him. He glared at her. She had a big smile seeing it.

"Tell bhai. Other than marriage did you ever propose to your wife?" Anjali asked him.

"Yes yes I did."he replied.
"No. He is lying. He didn't propose me. Poor me."Vaigha faked a pout leaning to Sanju's shoulder.
"She is lying. Didn't I propose you? Dont believe her."Vaibhav said loudly.

Vaigha felt funny and gave an expression which asked him when did you propose me? His brothers and sisters were on her side and believed her. He glared at her making her chuckle.

"Ok I will suggest a solution."Amar said.
"Here no one asked your solution. We will decide what to do."Arjun teased his brother.
"I prefer to hear Amar bhai's solution. He is Einstein. He can come up with feasible solution."Krithika said and Sanjana also raised her hand for support.

"Bhai didn't propose bhabhi. That's the issue here na? Let him give a chance to propose her now infront of us."Amar said gaining a clap.

"Wow. Thats cool. If it's good, we can utilize it in future. What abt that?"Arjun winked at Amar.

"Hello. I am not going to do that. That too infront of you all." Vaibhav said immediately.

"Why? Are you shy?"Anjali asked.
"Arey this is our private matter. If she have complaints regarding the matter I didn't propose her, then let us talk privately. If she wants I will propose her again, but not infront of you all."he said trying to hold Vaigha's hand. But she was pulled back by Sanju. Sanju was the most stubborn to see their proposal.

"Vaigha. Dont play with me."he warned.
"I am on my siblings' side in this matter." She said earning a clap from them with her most innocent face.

"Bhai, hear what she said. Now start your proposal."Amar said.
"If you want classes on how to propose, don't hesitate to ask me"Arjun said.

Others laughed.
"So I don't have any right on my wife. Isn't it? I can talk to her only if you guys allow. It hurts." He said faking a hurt expression.
"Hello bhai. Keep your tricks with you. We are not gonna fall for this." Krithika said.
"Already you messed all our plans on your dream marriage. Now if you want her, you have to earn her. Let's see how much our workaholic bhai improved in romance."Anjali demanded.

Finally Vaibhav understood that he can't escape from this task given by his siblings. Because he is alone and all others are on same group. He looked at Vaigha who is giving him a teasing look.

"Ok I am ready. Tell her to stand here."he said pointing to his front area.
"Bhabhi. Go."Anjali made her stand infront of him.

"Bhai..ready set go.."Arjun gave the warm up.
"Dont disturb me. Let me think."Vaibhav said seriously.

He kneel down infront of her. She had shining eyes.
"Vaigha...my life was flowing in the same direction without any changes for the past many years. Works, family, office...like that. It was you who made a change in my life. You are the best life partner I can ask for. You became a best friend and shared all my sorrows. You understood me even before I tell anything. You gave your shoulders for me to lean whenever I needed a support. You hugged me when I feel lonely. You gave me the courage and confidence to face any problem. It was your love that made me sticked with you, that made me alive. No one could understand me till now the way you understand my mind. If you were not with me, I wouldn't have win this battle of relationships. Sacrifice is easy. But it needs courage to bind everything together without any lose. As you said you didn't make me lose my family. Instead you made me complete with your love, care and patience." He said honestly.

She had tears in her eyes with a smile hearing him.

"Thank you for coming into my life to help me find all pleasures of the life. Thank you for giving me my little one soon, for making me a father. For being mine. You are the soul, heart and life of this house. You became everything what this house lacks. A mother, bhabhi, wife and everything that converts this house into a home." He continued while his siblings are on heaven hearing his words.

"I love you Vaigha."he said.
She smiled wiping her tears.
"Can you accept me as your husband?" He asked and she nodded with all happiness.
"It's my pleasure to be your Mrs."she said.
He took her hand in his and kissed it. He stood up and gave her a bone crushing hug. They broke the hug hearing loud claps around. He had a winning smile on his face.

"Bhai it was superb. From where did you study all this?"Krithika hugged him.
He laughed.
"Bhai next time when I think about proposing someone, definitely I will take classes from you."Arjun said making everyone chuckle.
"Yes after that I can bring her here as another Anuradha followed by a high voltage drama session and happy climax." Arjun said dreaming.

Vaibhav and Vaigha together twisted his ears.
"If you have any such plans, I will kill you. Mind it"Vaibhav warned him.

Sanjana and Anjali hugged Vaigha together from both sides.
"Are you happy?" Sanju asked through actions.
She nodded with a smile.
"Bhai, you have improved more than what we expected. We under estimated you bhai. Totally regretting for it"Anjali said giving a side hug to him.
"All credits go to your bhabhi"he said winking at Vaigha. She stood with an opened mouth.
"Everything was ok. But who told you to kiss? We demanded only for a proposal."Amar rolled his eyes.
"How can a proposal be complete without kiss?" Vaibhav asked back.
"You are very right bhai. That's why every girl breaks up with me immediately after proposal." Arjun said and it was enough for the house to be filled with uncontrolled bursting of laughter.
-----xxx-----

Vaigha is sitting infront of the mirror while Vaibhav's brothers are making her wear ornaments and getting her ready.

"Anjali... this is enough. I can't walk with this heavy jewellery. Did you forget that I am pregnant?" She said while Anjali tried to make her wear bangles.

"No one here forgets that you are having our little nephew in your womb. So be cool. We are here to support you while walking. And after this function bhai is gonna carry you forever. Believe me he won't even allow you to walk."Anjali teased her making her blush.

"Anjali, again what's the need to wear all this? Already we agreed with this marriage only because of your insistence. And if you are troubling me with this heavy load of ornaments surely I will faint on the mandap." Vaigha warned.

"Who told you that bhai agreed because of our insistence? Bhai was the most happiest one hearing this. He is ready to marry you again a zillion times more."Krithika said while helping her with the saree pleats.

Today Vaibhav is going to marry Vaigha again. A grand marriage unlike the first time. Since his brothers and sisters couldn't see their marriage, they demanded them to marry again. They had to agree for it.

"Vaigha, these all are our mom's ornaments. She wanted her daughter in law to wear all this on the marriage day. If you can't walk, then it's ok. I will remove some."Anjali said but Vaigha stopped her.

"It's ok. I can adjust. Just need your support while walking. Thats all." Vaigha said.
"100% guarantee from my side. I can even carry you in my hands if you can't walk. Boost is the secret of my energy."Krithika said showing her muscles.

Vaigha laughed seeing it.
Sanjana made her wear the earrings. She smiled.
"Thank you baby."Vaigha kissed her hand.

"Vaigha, here is your juice." Nandini aunty entered with a glass of fresh juice making her frown.
"Again? This is the third one today."Vaigha held her head.

"I can't do anything dear. This is your husband's order." Aunty giggled.
Vaibhav is ready do compromise on anything except Vaigha's health and hygiene. He made sure that she is eating good and taking rest properly wherever he is.

"Drink it bhabhi. We can't make our baby hungry." Krithika helped her to drink the juice completely and returned the glass to aunty.

"Good girl."Sanju gestured.
"Get ready fast. Your uncle as usual started scolding for getting late."Aunty left the room.

"I feel like I am a new born baby. See how many people are around me to serve me and take care of me."Vaigha complained.
"Its not because you are a baby. You are our queen. Our bhai's queen."Anjali kissed her forehead and applied bindi on her forehead.

"After all you are our Bhabhi"
Krithika and Sanjana too joined them for an hug and a moment together for the sisters.

Another room:
Amar is trying to help Vaibhav to get ready. He wore white shirt and dhoti. He had already shaved his long beard as per his wife's order. He looked at Arjun who is spraying the perfume on him looking at the mirror.

"Today is not your marriage Arjun" Vaibhav said.
"Who can assure that I won't find my life partner today? We have to be prepared every day."Arjun said making both of them glare.

"Hello. You can marry only after the others get married. Including my Sanju. So you don't need to prepare now itself" Vaibhav said and Arjun gave a shocking expression.

"It would be too late bhai. This is cruel."he replied.
"First of all concentrate on business"Vaibhav told.
Arjun pouted.
Amar chuckled.

"Hey boys. Didn't you get ready till now? See Vaigha is already ready. You guys are too lazy and slow."His uncle came inside the room.

"Vaigha ready? Let me check her."Vaibhav was about to go when the twins stopped him.
"What's the hurry? First of all let the rituals over. After that she is all yours"Amar said.

"Uncle see this. I am not even allowed to see my wife. Its a jail now. It was better when she was staying with you."Vaibhav said and Uncle laughed.

"Even when you guys were staying in jail, you made her pregnant. Now don't say this. Your baby will also laugh at this."Uncle said and Vaibhav blushed.

"Bhai...I can't believe this. You are blushing."Arjun gave a wow expression.
"Stop this" Vaibhav threw a pillow at Arjun.
"I am gonna let bhabhi know this. Her husband is blushing."Amar became exited and Vaibhav threw another pillow at him.

The room filled with the brothers' laughter, screams and giggles.
*****
Vaibhav held Vaigha's hand and helped her to enter into the mandap. Anjali and Amar were helping the pandit with the arrangements. Arjun and Krithika were arguing regarding some topic they just found. Sanju was with Nandini aunty and uncle.

Vaibhav slowly made her sit and sat beside her. She blushed when he brushed his shoulder against hers.
"Why are you blushing as if we are marrying for the first time?"he asked making her completely red.
"Vaibhav pls "she pleaded.

"We should thank our siblings for this idea. Because last time when I marry I don't remember anything."he said.
"Because you were busy with so many thoughts even when tieing the wedding chain."she giggled.
"You are right Mrs. I was thinking about how they are gonna react for my marriage. I couldn't concentrate on you."he said.

"Today I am extremely happy. Because I have nothing to worry about."he added and she smiled.
"And you know what. You are very beautiful today."he said making her blush again.
"And our baby is also lucky to be with us when we are marrying."he was not in a mood to stop.

"Bhai, you are talking too much."Amar commented.
He glared at Amar. Vaigha was laughing uncontrollably.

"Come everyone. Let's take a selfie with the bride and groom" Arjun came with the phone. Sanju occupied her favourite spot between Vaigha and Vaibhav. Krithika dragged Anjali to the mandap stopping what she was doing there. Amar also joined the gang. They clicked a selfie together.

"Vaibhav, it's muhurth." Uncle said.
Siblings stood behind the couple.
Uncle handed over the wedding chain to Vaibhav. He took it and looked at Vaigha. She had a teary smile in her face.
"I love you Mrs."he whispered in her ears while tieing the chain on her neck. Aunty and the girls helped with Vaigha's hair for him.
It was the most beautiful moment for Vaigha. Vaibhav took vermillion and applied it on her hair partition. They exchanged the garlands.

"Vaibhav. Hold her hand for the vows." Uncle said.
Vaibhav slowly took her hand into his and helped her to stand. They started taking rounds around the holy fire taking each vow. He was walking in front and she was following him when suddenly she stopped. She was about to fall when he held her waist and saved her.

"Bhabhi." His brothers and sisters rushed to them panicked.
"Vaigha..."he called worried.
She slowly opened the eyes and smiled faintly.
"Vaigha..are you ok?"Anjali asked making her drink water.
"I am ok. Baby is troubling me. He is having fun on his parents marriage." Vaigha replied making everyone laugh. Vaibhav caressed her hairs.

"The vows are not complete."Pandit reminded.
"Vaibhav. I am fine. Lets complete it. I can walk."she tried to stand up but he stopped her. Making Everyone stun he carried her into his arms.

"We can complete it like this too Mrs."Vaibhav said while taking rounds with her in his hands. She blushed. His brothers and sisters had a teasing smile.

Soon the rituals over announcing them as husband and wife once again. This time in the presence of their complete family. Everyone was happy and they are all satisfied.

At Night:
Vaibhav peeped into his room to see his beautiful wife laying on bed with eyes closed. He smiled. It was him who adviced her to take rest after she fainted. Without having another option she obeyed her stubborn husband with half mind. He entered slowly and closed the door behind him. She heard the noise and opened her eyes immediately. She sat on bed with a smile seeing him.

"Didn't you sleep?"he asked sitting beside her on bed.
"How can I sleep? I was waiting for you."she said like a kid.
"Dont trouble my baby. You have to sleep well Vaigha."he said earning a pout from her.
"Again started. Dont forget that I am the one who took care of your baby when you were not with me."she faked anger.
He came close to her.
"I know Mrs. That's why I love you more and more" he said kissing her earlobe.
It was enough for her to melt away all her anger.

He looked around to see the beautiful decoration given to his room. Candles are lighted on many places and the bed is filled with rose petals.
"Our room is so beautiful today."he remarked.
"It's your brothers and sisters who did this great job. Really how lovely."she said playing with the rose petals.
"I didn't say because of this decorations. Our room will be very special from today onwards. Because here after you would be here."he said wrapping his arms across her shoulders.

She blushed and rested her head on his chest. He kissed her hairs.
"Vaigha. What our baby is doing now? Sleeping?"he asked.
"How do I know?"she shrugged her shoulders.

"Let me check."
He leaned towards her belly and kissed there. Then he placed his ears there. He smiled placing his hands on her belly.

"Damn it. Your baby didn't sleep yet. Must be eavesdropping on our conversation"he said making her giggle.

"Vaibhav tell me frankly. Did you expect a baby so soon?" She asked waiting for his reaction.

"Honestly telling I didn't. We didn't even start our life properly. But you have no idea how much I am happy now. Imagine a little version of me in your arms. Someone who impatiently waiting for me to come from office. Someone who always makes us busy. Someone who plays in my lap. And someone who will be the new ray of hope in our life and to bind us always together."he said kissing her forehead.
She hugged him tightly with all satisfaction.

"Being a father is the most beautiful feeling. I am enjoying each and every moment of this phase Vaigha."he said and she cupped his face.

"Our baby will be the most lucky one to get you as his pappa" she smiled

"No Vaigha. He is more lucky because he have the best mom in this world."he corrected her.

"I was away from you eventhough we were living in the same house. I can understand how much it hurted you. But hereafter I won't allow you to miss me. I will be with you always. This is a word I am giving to my baby. I have hurted his mom a lot. But I will make you happy hereafter."He said joining their foreheads together.

"Each moment with you..it was precious for me Vaibhav. You didn't hurt me. It was me who decided to share all your sorrows and getting hurted in process. You made me special always. I am already the most happy woman. I have a loving husband. I have a family who takes good care of me. I can't ask for more."she kissed his chest.

"I love you Mrs. Dont think about leaving me again."he said kissing her whole face.
"I wont. My baby won't forgive me if I leave his pappa again."she told

With that he crushed his lips on her lips. They kissed passionately.
It was Vaibhav who broke the kiss first.
"What happened?"she asked confusingly.
"Shhhh.. Dont disturb my baby. Let him sleep." He said.
"You are only thinking about baby. Not about me."she pouted.

"Hey..first of all let our baby sleep peacefully. After that I will make sure that baby's mom will be having a beautiful night."he winked making her blush.

She hided her head in his chest and he patted her back hugging her. A moment they always wanted to have without hiding anyone.
