Royally yours

73. Wedding I

Chaitra sighed and got into her attire with the help of the makeup artists and her bhabi. Ishika perfectly tucked her dupatta and placed a black dot behind her ear. Bindu then made her drink some juice as she can't have her food until the wedding concludes. After that, the three of them chatted for a while before her parents walked in with other family members. 

Raghav and Pallavi couldn't stop themselves from tearing up seeing their princess in the wedding attire. He was quick to take out a bundle of notes and round it around her before giving it to his assistant to donate the amount. They both kissed their daughter's forehead lovingly and blessed her. Then, her Maamu and Maami too did the same to ward off the evil eyes and blessed their niece followed by her Atha and Mama. By then environment turned a little gloomy but Hithen was quick to lighten the atmosphere.

"Why are you all doing it? Who will cast an evil eye on a monkey?" He asked shrugging which made them burst into laughter while Chaitra huffed at her brother in annoyance but inside she was thankful to him for making the atmosphere light. 

"Now can we hug our sister?" Akash asked at which Chaitra opened her hands widely and soon the four shared a group hug as her brothers kissed her forehead one by one, blessing her with all the happiness and love. 

When it was time to welcome the Barat everyone else left the room leaving Chaitra with her brothers. When Akash noticed her anklets on the table, he was quick to grab them. He removed her heels and Hithen sat beside him as both of them tied anklets around her ankle. Dev made her drink a few sips of juice and reapplied her lipstick. The three left asking her to wait until they came back to take her to the pavilion.

When it was time for the bride to make her entry, they helped her stand and lifted her lehenga to help her walk with ease. 

Daksh

My white sherwani with golden print, threadwork, and red buttons fit my body perfectly while a shawl/dupatta of red color with fine gold work lay on my one shoulder and rested on my folded other hand. My shafa was also golden in color with a mango-shaped broach with a red ruby surrounded by white diamonds pinned to it. My neck was adorned with an off-white pearl set with a few golden beads in the middle. 

As I stood in the middle of the pavilion, the younger clan of her family stood in front of me down the stage in a line making me confused. Everyone had confused looks on their faces and finally, Raghav uncle asked what were they up to.

"Mama, our chaitra is so precious, right? How can we give her to him that easily?" Hithen asked. 

"What do you want?" my reply was quick and it made everyone chuckle in amusement while my cousins and best friends had teasing smiles on their faces.

"If you want to take 7 pheras with our sister, you have to make 7 promises to all of us," Dev put forth the condition and I nodded without hesitation.

"You will let bua eat Chocolates and won't stop her," Little Viv put forth his condition.

"I won't stop her until she eats them in the limit," I promised.

"You will not let her watch horror movies alone. She is scared of them but is adamant about watching them," Ishika bhabi said condition and I nodded with a smile.

"You will get her flowers for all the important occasions," Bindu bhabi said and I agreed. 

"You will never leave her alone when she is in agony. You will always be with her and console her," Dev put forth his condition and I agreed. I will try my best not to let her face any such condition in the first place. 

"You will protect her from any potential threats and will inform three of us if you feel she is in danger," Akash put forth his condition and I agreed. I will rip anyone who will even think of harming her.
