Destined

Chapter 18

Lights were dazzling everywhere but still was not able to match the Malhotra's shine.

The decoration was lavish just like the  Malhotras.

Shubham and Meera's reception party at Malhotra Mansion was the hot topic of discussion in the entire city.

Everyone was there to give their blessings to the newly wed.

But the stars of the party, the bride and the groom had not came down yet.

Everyone was waiting for them with  patience.

Shubham Malhotra arrived there holding his wife Meera Malhotra's hand.

Everyone's eyes were stuck on them.

The lavish couple was slowly coming downstairs.

Media houses were trying their best to capture the best picture of the mesmerizing couple.

Shubham was looking as always handsome and dashing. He was wearing black colour indo western sherwani.

Meera was wearing a beautiful and stylish bright red colour saree which was making her pretty face more glowing. With all the accessories and her chura, mangalsutra and vermillion, Shubham's bride was making everyone awestruck.

Their families were standing downstairs and was quietly admiring the couple.

Shubham's family had forgotten all the differences between them for a moment and was just lost in the beauty of their daughter in law and the mesmerizing couple.

The couple finally made their grand entry at their reception party.

Everyone was looking at them but Shubham eyes were stuck on Meera.

He was not able to remove his eyes from his beautiful wife's face.

"Sir, photograph please",said a media person interrupting Shubham's scenic view.

Shubham poses with Meera, keeping his hands on her waist.

Meera was nervous.

"Are you okay?",asked Shubham.

"No! I am nervous. What if they will ask questions to me? How and what will I answer?",asked Meera.

"Nobody will ask you anything. I had already sent them the notice to not ask questions",said Shubham.

"But you had said that you will clear everything related to our marriage in the reception party",said Meera.

"Yes, I will definitely do that",said Shubham.

"How?",asked Meera.

Shubham removed his hand from Meera's waist and took the mike kept at the table.

"Hello everyone! It's Shubham Malhotra. You all are welcomed at our reception party. As you all know that the sudden news of our marriage has brought the strom in the media as it was obviously very shocking. That's why I am here to give you a brief of our love story. It was love at first sight and we found our soulmates in each other and that's why decided to marry. We wanted to keep our marriage ceremony very private, that's why only very closed ones were invited. It was all very quick, short and simple. I know you all must be wondering that why were we so much in rush and all that but who can make lovers understand this?!",said Shubham giving a naughty smile.

Meera was just staring him with mixed expressions.

"No one can predict this man. He told such a stupid story to media on which no one will ever believe on", thought Meera.

"I hope this much clarification was enough and now no one has any kind of query in their mind. So everyone, meet my wife, Mrs. Meera Shubham Malhotra",said Shubham.

Everyone claps.

Shubham goes back to his place, next to Meera.

"Listen",said Meera.

"Yes?",said Shubham.

"What kind of stupid story you have told everyone?! A mature person will never believe on it",said Meera.

"So, do you want to share your story? Should I tell to media that Mrs. Malhotra want to announce something?",asked Shubham smiling.

"No.. I don't have any story on my mind. But yours story was very stupid. If I had thought of a story to tell everyone then it would have been much better",said Meera.

"Love is a simple and shortest answer to every question being asked here. That's why I said it. Love is enough to shut people's mouth. Nothing could have been better than this",said Shubham looking deep into Meera's eyes.

"Samita, your daughter in law is very pretty. I am not able to keep my eyes away from her",said a lady to Samita.

"Thank you so much",said Samita with a fake smile.

Shubham asked for Meera's hand and took her to the dance floor with him.

Light goes dim and he held Meera by her waist closer to him.

And they danced together being lost in each other.

It was looking like the story they told everyone was true or they were making it true.
Love, answer to everyone's question.
