================================================================================
It was the night of the reception, everyone was pumped for the event, the wedding of IshqAan was indeed a dramatic one, although enjoyable but they hoped such drama wouldn't arise again. After fulfilling their individual duties all the members went into their respective rooms to get ready for the event.
----
The hall of the Malhotra Mansion was filled with laughter, chatter, music and loads of people- some of whom Ishqi and Ahaan didn't even know properly. It was a magenta and black themed event and mostly everyone was dressed accordingly.
Ishqi and Ahaan both walked down the stairs together, earning praises and compliments along the way, they looked nothing less than a couple straight out of a fairytale. The couple greeted everyone and took the blessings of the elders, and then proceeded towards their friends to greet them.
Everything was going smoothly until the two who'd been rejected at the altar showed up at the event. They snaked inside the house and made their way up to Ishqi and Ahaan, who both stood by a wall talking, or rather flirting with each other.
Ishqi was "fixing" Ahaan's collars while his arms rested around her waist and their eyes lost in each other's. Their love for each other was radiating through their contact and smiles.
Rahul and Rhea looked towards IshqAan and then at each other, feeling sharp stings of jealousy and envy in their hearts for the doting couple. They rolled their eyes and approached the duo, who were in no way paying any attention to their surroundings.
Rahul cleared his throat to break Ishqi and Ahaan's trance, "Hi Ishqi-Ahaan, how are you guys?" Rahul said enviously as he faked a smile, Ishqi and Ahaan were kinda stunned to see their exes present at the function and that too, together.
Ahaan: We're good, how are you guys? he replied confidently while slipping his hand into Ishqi's.
Rhea eyed their hands, "fine" she said as she gritted her teeth. "Tum dono yahan kya kar rahe ho" Ishqi asked.
Ishqi: Matlab, dou-teen pehle jo kuch hua uss ke baad...her voice trailed off as she looked at the two questionably.
Rahul remained mum for a second but then he replied, "W-Woh jo bhi hua mein bhula chuka houn...before exes we're friends, childhood friends..right Ishqi?" he said genuinely but couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Ishqi nodded as she smiled, "Aur tum Rhea?" asked Ahaan, "Hum toh friends bhi nahi hai".
Rhea pretended to be happy for the two as well, "But we have known each other for over three years, itna toh baanta hai na..and besides our relationship didn't last for more than a week..proper exes bhi nahi hai hum toh"
Ahaan, still not convinced plastered a smile onto his face and said, "Oh okay, thanks for coming guys, enjoy yourselves and please excuse us" he pulled Ishqi with him and both left from the corner.

Ishqi: AVM, aaj toh chamatkaar hi hogaya! Dushman baane dost?
Ahaan: Nope! Koi dost vost nahi hai woh dono...na hi utne acche hai jitna pretend kar rahe hai...
Ishqi: But-
Ahaan cut her off, "Ishqi we've seen what they both are capable of, inse dour hi rahe toh better hai...And mein Kartik se kehta houn to keep an eye on them"- he turned around to go find Kartik but Ishqi caught his arm, "Rehne de na AVM, mere devar ko aaj break dijiye...woh apni love story mein busy hai" she said as she pointed over his shoulder and behind the flower decorations.
Ahaan turned around and he saw Kartik and Tara blushing with having less of a convo and more of staring at each other, "they're so cute together na" Ishqi murmured. Ahaan hummed in agreement.

Here's the video if anyone wants to listen to the song ;)
~~~~~
A few minutes later the much anticipated moment arrived, it was time for the dance of the newly wedded couple, their song started to play and Ahaan held his hand out for Ishqi to grasp. They both walked to the middle of the dance floor while everyone paused their chatter and focused their attention on them.
Khawabon ke darwaze khulte hi jaate hain, Ik dusre mein utarte hi jaate hain
Behoshi ke daayre bante jaate hain, Dilko ghum hui raah mein milte jaate hain
Bekaraan ishq mein tairte chal diye, Bekaraan ishq mein javedaan ho gaye
Ahaan pulled her by the waist and their bodies collided with each other. Ishqi put her hands on his chest while he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and they both swayed to the rhythm of the song. The moment was much awaited by everyone, especially Ishqi and Ahaan- it showed the love and unity between the couple. The dance revealed the harmony in between the newly weds, their steps synchronized perfectly despite not having much time to practice.
Yeh raahein nahin aasaan, Inn raaston mein hai toofaan
Yuhon toh dil ko laakh bataaya, Samjhaya, behlaya, lalchaya, dhamkaya
Dil toh dil hai baaz na aaya
Ahaan twirled her around multiple times and caught her in his arms after the fifth twirl perfectly, he hugged her from her back and slowly lifted her off of the ground, they spun around slowly. Ahaan lowered her to the ground and caged her waist fully as they danced, their steps matching perfectly.
Kabhi doube kabhi ubre, Kabhi sambhle kabhi dole
Kehta hai kya haule haule, Koi lamha ruk jaaye
Koi dil na dhal paaye, Apni hi boli ye bole
Bekaraan ishq mein tairte chal diye
Bekaraan ishq mein tairate chal diye
Bekaraan ishq mein javedaan ho gaye
He lifted her up in his arms and spun around while staring deep into her beautiful big brown eyes. She wrapped her arms around his nape and stared back at him with the same intensely. They both were so lost in each other that everything else didn't seem to matter in that moment.
Bekaraan ishq mein x4
Bekaraan ishq mein bemaza ho gaye
Bekaraan ishq mein tairate chal diye
Ooo...
Everyone had thoroughly enjoyed their captivating dance that was oozing chemistry and love, each guest could tell the two were meant to be. And although they verbally couldn't express their deep for each other in front everyone, their enticing dance had done the job.
They blushed as they were brought back into reality from the sound of claps, the two left the dance floor hand in hand while the lights turned on the food was served.
The rest of the event went amazingly for the most part, Rahul tried to be happy for Ishqi but Rhea couldn't digest her defeat, she'd tried many times to cause trouble but thanks to Kartik and Tara, her plans had backfired.
At around midnight, the guests started to leave and the day passed, successfully completing Ishqi and Ahaan's reception. The next day was going to be a normal one, finally done with all the wedding festivities.
"It is not being in love that makes me happy. It is the person I am in love with that does." ✨
