Udaipur :
Everyone came to Udaipur to attend Mayank and Ishitha's wedding and swara and varun's engagement. And then Renu and Aman's wedding.
It's Mayank's marriage in a week. After that with in 2 days gap it's swara's engagement and then after 4days Aman's wedding.
Mayura is going mad with all the work.
Though Sharanya and Swathi are helping her she is getting restless
Doctor recommended Swathi to take rest because of the complications... Even then Swathi is helping Mayura as much as she can.
Right now everyone are busy in shopping for the upcoming functions in a botique
" Swara, select your engagement dress as well. We may not get time later "
" Excuse me these are the brides... Show them the best of your collection. " Mayura said pointing towards Ishitha and Renu.
" Sure mam.... We will show you our latest designs. " The girl said and started showing them the dresses.
Mayura was mantaing a book with everyone's name in it and also the dresses they all required for each occasion.
First they all need a dress for Mayank and Ishitha's haldi, then mehendi, then sangeet and marriage.
Again they all need a dress for Swara's engagement.
And again they all need dresses for Aman and Renu's haldi, Mehendi, sangeet and marriage.
" Ufff lots of shopping... " Mayura thought.
" Bhabhi why don't you select your dresses till then..." Swara suggested.
" It's ok... Everyone is busy in their shopping... Someone should be with you " Mayura said
" And we would look after eachother. You go and do your shopping " Ishitha said
" Are you sure?? " Mayura asked
" Yes di... You go " Renu said
Mayura nodded as ok and came aside to select her dresses.
Sales girl is showing her lots of dresses. Mayura kept some of them aside which she liked.
At the same time she got a call from Adhiraj.
" Mayu, come and help me in selecting dresses. Iam not understanding anything " Adhiraj asked as soon as Mayura answered the call
" Coming.... " Saying this Mayura cut the call
" I will be back... Please keep these dresses aside " Mayura said looking at the girl for which the girl nodded as ok.
.....................
.....................
Mayura then came to the another floor of the same botique where gents are busy in their shopping.
She directly moved towards Adhiraj who sat on a chair waiting for Mayura
" You are here?? Tell me which one should I take? " Adhiraj asked showing her two dresses.
" This one " Mayura said after looking at two options.
" Ok... Now select for other occasions as well. Iam so confused " Adhiraj Asked
" How many more dresses you need?? " Mayura asked
" For every other occasion... This is the first dress I had selected... " Adhiraj said
Mayura gave him a look.
" Ok... You selected it. " Adhiraj gave her smiled sheepishly.
Mayura shook her head and started shoping for Adhiraj.
Adhiraj was silently following Mayura and was trying dresses whatever she gave him.
She have selected few dresses.
" This one... " Mayura said looking at three dresses infront of her.
Sales girl looked at her and then at Adhiraj who is busy in his phone.
" Sir, do you like it?? " The girl asked
" Huh?? Haa do you like it?? " Adhiraj asked looking at Mayura
" Yes... " Mayura nodded as yes
" Ok then. Take that " Adhiraj said shrugging his shoulders.
" But sir, it's you who is gonna wear the dress so it should be you who should like that. And I feel like it doesn't suit you. Why don't you try this" sales girl said and showed him a dress
Mayura frowned hearing the girl. Why does she feel like the girl is showing extra intrest in her husband.
Mayura was about to say something but stopped hearing Adhiraj.
" No, thanks. I know that it's me who is gonna wear the dress but it's my wife who should approve that. As long as she finds me handsome in a dress Iam gonna wear that. And top of that she knows what I need and what's best for me more than I know. " Adhiraj smiled looking at Mayura
Mayura smiled hearing him and smirked looking at the sales girl.
Sales girl was little embarrassed and nodded as ok and left the place.
" You are chooo cute my cutie pie " Mayura pinched his cheeks
" Ouch... Don't call me that Mayu " Adhiraj rubbed his cheeks.
Mayura tip toed on her toes and kissed Adhiraj on his cheeks before someone could notice them
Adhiraj was surprised by her sudden PDA.
" Ohoho.... Looks like you are in a romantic mood today... " Adhiraj pulled her towards him through her waist.
" But you don't get into the romantic mood now... Your romantic mood would always land me in a awkward situation " Mayura said coming out his grip
" Yaar... You are such a mood spoiler " Adhiraj whined
" It's ok... Iam all yours tonight " Mayura whispered
Adhi widened his eyes hearing her.
" You are really in a mood today " Adhiraj stated and was about to hold her hand but she quickly moved away.
" Not now... First of let's complete your shopping. Then I have to do my shopping as well " Mayura Said
" Fine... " Adhiraj rolled his eyes.
After a while Adhiraj's shopping got almost completed when Mayura got a call from Swara who is calling Mayura for help
" It's Swara. She needs my help " Mayura looked at Adhiraj
" Then what about my shopping? " Adhiraj asked
" Yours is almost done... " Mayura said looking at his selected dresses.
" Wait!!! One more dress for Swara's engagement. " Mayura said and looked at few dresses.
" This one. " Mayura handed him a dress
" Ok... " Adhiraj nodded his head
" Great!! Then make sure to alter them according to your size. We may not get time after this. You will do that right? " Mayura asked
" Yes... Don't worry. Now you go and see what Swara wants " Adhiraj said
Mayura nodded as ok with a smile and left to see swara.
....................
....................
Mayura then came down and helped Swara and others in their shopping.
She then did her shopping. Then they all went for jewelry shopping
By the end of the day everyone are so tired. They had their dinner outside. So they directly went towards their rooms to take rest.
Adhiraj was waiting for Mayura but she didn't come to their even after an hour.
So he came out in search of her. He looked for her everywhere and atlast found her in the room where all the shopping bags were placed.
She is cross checking everything and was also guest list based on the data given by Dadi.
" Mayura.... " Adhiraj called her
" Haa... " She responded without looking at him as she is busy in her work
" What are you doing?? Are you not tired? " Adhiraj asked taking the book away from her.
" Adhi, give that back... " Mayura asked
" Not happening... You need to rest. Let's go " Adhiraj said
" Adhi, let me complete this... Please. Or else tomorrow I have to start from this incomplete work... Please " Mayura pleaded
Adhiraj sighed seeing her face and sat down infront of her.
" Let me help you then " Adhiraj said and started helping her
They were almost done with all the work when Mayura spoke
" Iam adding maasi's name in the guest list " Mayura said looking at Adhiraj
" No need..." Came Adhiraj's stern voice
" Why?? " Mayura asked
" Don't you know? " Adhiraj asked
" Adhiraj.... Let's forget everything na... " Mayura asked
" I can't and I won't... " Adhiraj said
" Adhi, don't be like this. She is your maasi Adhi. I know you still love and respect her. Though Mayank and Swara always tries to go against her I know they too love her alot. They may not vocalise but they do miss their maasi " Mayura tried to make him understand.
" Mayura, let's not talk about it " Adhiraj said and was about to stand but Mayura held his hand
" No, you can't leave without talking " Mayura said
" What you want to talk Mayura? Everything is going on well in our lives right?? Then why should we call her here and invite problems for ourselves " Adhiraj Said
" Adhiraj we both know she could never be a problem to you and to our family. Haa I agree she doesn't like me but I know she doesn't hate me atleast not now. Please... Let's forget everything... Please... " Mayura requested
" But what if she tries to do something again? " Adhiraj asked
" She won't Adhiraj... I can assure you that. " Mayura said
Adhiraj looked here and there.
" As you wish... " Saying this he left to the room
Mayura smiled hearing him...
" Yes... " She squealed
" I love you Adhi... " She said loudly so that Adhiraj could hear her
Adhiraj turned back and looked at Mayura narrowing his eyes but soon a smile broke on his lips.
" Come soon.... Iam waiting for you" Adhiraj said walking towards his room
Mayura chuckled looking at him and wrapped up her work for the day and left to her room
..................
..................
Mayura came to their suite and saw that Adhiraj is in his study. So she immediately moved towards the washroom to freshen up.
She changed herself in to one of his shirts and tied her hair in a messy bun.
She then entered the study and saw that Adhiraj was studying some file.
Mayura walked towards Adhiraj and took the file from his hands.
" What are...." Adhiraj stopped in middle seeing her in his shirt.
Mayura in his shirts is his weakness
" How am I looking?? " Mayura asked twirling around
" Hot as always... " Adhiraj smirked
Mayura blushed looking down.
Mayura bite her lips and sat down on his laps and made herself comfortable. And Adhiraj held her through her waist protectively
She snaked her arms around his neck and gave him a slight peck at the corner of his lips.
" Mayu, you should sleep... You are tired because of all the shopping since morning" Adhiraj said caressing her cheeks.
" What if I say that Iam not tired? " Mayura asked drawing patterns on his chest above his tshirt
" Don't do this yaar... " Adhiraj held her hands
Mayura pouted looking at him and glared him cutely
" I will... " Saying this she pulled him towards her holding his tshirt and gave a quick peck on his lips.
Adhiraj sighed seeing her. He is trying to control himself hardly and she is making it difficult for him.
" Don't scold me tomorrow morning for getting late..." Saying this Adhiraj picked Mayura in his arms and moved towards their room
Mayura squealed at the sudden lift and hugged Adhiraj snaking her arms around his neck.
" I love you Adhiraj... " Mayura whispered in his years
Adhiraj stopped in his tracks for a second. Adhiraj held her more tightly.
" Let me show you how much I love you " Adhiraj said entering the room
.....................
.....................
Next-day morning :
" Mayura get up... " Adhiraj asked caressing her cheeks
" 5 more minutes " Mayura said holding his hand
" You are telling this since last 30 minutes. " Adhiraj chuckled.
Adhiraj woke up and got ready for the day and was trying to wake up Mayura since last half an hour.
Mayura frowned hearing him and opend ger eyes.
" Iam tired... " Mayura pouted
Adhiraj laughed looking at her face.
" I already told you " Adhiraj chuckled.
Mayura rolled her eyes at him and sat up on the bed leaning on to the headboard.
" Now get up and get ready. We have to go for giving invitation cards. " Adhiraj said
" Give me 5 more minutes... Please " Mayura said holding Adhiraj's arms and rested her head on his arms.
Adhiraj smiled looking at her and caressed her hair.
After 5 minutes Mayura got up and went to freshen up.
By the time Adhiraj and Mayura came down everyone already had their breakfast and were in the hall.
Thankfully they are little free today
Adhiraj and Mayura were quickly having their breakfast where obviously Mayura was feeding Adhiraj by her hands.
" Dadu, once check this list... Today we are going to invite the people in this list. And for those whom we couldn't invite personally I already arranged everything. The invitations would be reach them " Adhiraj said while Mayura was feeding him breakfast.
Dadu checked the list.
" It's perfect... " Dadu said giving him back the list.
" What about the hotel rooms for the guests? " Dadi Asked
" Kunal is looking after that dadi " Mayura said
" Shopping is done right?? " Dadi Asked
" Yes dadi... " Mayura smiled
" Dadi, what about return gifts. Iam not getting any ideas " Mayura asked
" Hmm we will think something about it. Don't worry " Dadi said
At the same time a servant came and informed them about Adhiraj's naani and maasi's arrival.
" I know naani is coming today. But maasi?? I just said yes yesterday for inviting her " Adhiraj looked at dadi in confusion.
Mayura washed her hands and slowly stood up and took backward steps.
Dadi gestured towards Mayura
Adhiraj looked at Mayura who is now standing away from him
" I know you...You would say yes... So I already invited her a long back " Mayura said smiling sheepishly
Adhiraj looked at her in shock and surprise
" You... " Adhiraj moved towards her
Mayura widened her eyes at him and starter running from there.
Mayura atlast reached the hall and saw that everyone are welcoming naani and maasi.
" Namasthe naani... " Saying this Mayura bend down to take her blessings.
At the same time Adhiraj reached there. So he too bend down to take the blessings from his naani
Naani blessed them both for a happy life.
" I will deal with you later" Adhiraj whispered in her ears
" Sorry... " Mayura whispered back with a sweet smile
Adhi just shook his head as she would never change
Mayura and Adhiraj then turned towards Surekha.
" Namasthe maasi... " Mayura wished her and bend down to touch her feet.
Mayura looked at Adhiraj and gestured him to touch maasi's feet for which he stayed silent.
Maasi saw this and felt hurt but stayed silent
" Always be happy Mayura beta... " For the first time Surekha placed her hands on Mayura's head and blessed her whole heartedly.
" Thank you maasi... " Mayura smiled widely
All were surprised hearing Surekha which includes Adhiraj as well.
But there was a small smile on his face which no one noticed
Adhiraj too bend down to touch Surekha's feet for blessings that surprised everyone.
" Be happy... " Surekha blessed Adhiraj with tears in her eyes.
All smiled looking at them.
" Go and take rest... We will talk later " dadi said
" Wait... I need to say something" Surekha Said
All looked at her as what she is gonna say
Surekha moved towards Mayura and held her hands.
" Iam sorry Mayura... For everything " she apologized Mayura.
" Maasi... don't say that please " Mayura said
" I have to beta... " Surekha looked down
" Maasi, let's forget everything and start a fresh... What say Adhi? " Mayura asked looking at Adhiraj.
Adhiraj nodded as yes with a smile looking at his wife and maasi.
" Thank you... " Surekha smiled in between her tears
Mayura hugged maasi and consoled her. She then gestured Adhiraj, Mayank and Swara to come forward and hug maasi.
Three of them came forward and hugged maasi with a broad smile that made Surekha emotional.
" Now enough of these tears... You know I can't shed more tears or else I would look like a ghost in all the events. " Swara said wiping her tears
" You already look like a ghost... " Mayank commented that made Swara angry
" Mayank... Don't tease her " Came the voices of Adhiraj, Mayura, Ishika and Varun
Mayank rolled his eyes at that while others laughed looking at his face.
Swara smirked looking at Mayank.
" Naani, Maasi. Go and take some rest. " Adhiraj asked
" By the way maasi. Where is Harsh? " Mayank asked about Surekha's son
" He will be here in few days " Surekha said
They all nodded as ok
" Mayu, shall we leave? We are getting late" Adhiraj asked
" Yeah... Let's go... " Mayura nodded her head
Soon Mayura and Adhiraj left to distribute the cards and others too got busy in their works
...................
...................
Haldi day :
It's haldi today of Mayank and Ishika.
Mayura's family and Rajesh parents too reached udaipur to attend the wedding.
" Mayura is everything ready? " Dadi asked
" Haa dadi. All set... We can start the ritual " Mayura said
" Good. Go and call Mayank and Ishika " dadi said
Soon Mayank and Ishika were made to sit on the platform that was arranged to them but both were separated by a curtain in between them.
" Mayura start the ritual " dadi said gesturing Mayank
" Me?? But dadi, maasi is here right. She will start the ritual " Mayura sai
" No beta... You do it... It's your right as the eldest daughter-in-law of Ranawats " maasi smiled at Mayura.
Mayura nodded as ok and started the ritual.
She applied the haldi on Mayank. Followed by her everyone started the ritual.
Then Mayura and Adhiraj came to other side where Ishika's haldi ritual is going on
" You are here?? I thought you had forgotten me. " Ishika complained with a pout
" How could I forget my sweet devrani? " Mayura teased Ishika while applying haldi on Ishika's face
Ishika blushed looking down.
The haldi ritual got completed and the photographer asked the couple to come together for few clicks.
Mayank and Ishika were posing for pictures with a broad smile on their faces.
" Done... " Photographer said
As soon as the photographer said yes Swara came towards them with a smile along with Keerthi and Renu
Keerthi, Mayura's sister, Renu and Swara became close friends with in a short span of time. Now everyone are getting worried and tensed whenever they see these girls together. They are so mischievous and are pranking some or other
" you three stop there... Don't come to me. Ok?? " Mayank warned the girls.
" What bhai?? Can't we just wish you and congratulate you?" Keerthi asked
" Wishing and you three don't fit in a single frame " Ishika said
" Haww... Now this is too much bhabhi... Even you are doubting us? " Swara said dramatically
" Haa... Di... We just brought bucket full of water so that you can wash your faces. " Renu said pointing towards the buckets they brought which are covered with plates.
They also saw that servants placed some more buckets covered with the plates
All gave them a " really?? " Look
And before they could say something swara, Renu and Keerthi removed the plates from the buckets and threw colour water ballons at the couple.
Actually they placed water ballons in the buckets to throw them at everyone.
" God!! I knew it " Mayank hissed wiping his face.
Renu, Swara and Keerthi laughed looking at Mayank.
Soon the whole place got messed up as the youngsters got busy in throwing colour water balloons and water at each other.
Swathi too was about to join them but dadi and other elders stooped her for which she made a crying face and sat down on a chair silently.
Mayura who saw that moved towards her with a bucket.
" Di, I know you can't run but you can threw them right " Mayura said handing her the water balloon.
Swathi's face lighten up hearing Mayura.
" Thanks Mayu " Swathi picked up the water balloon and looked around for her target
She directly threw the balloon at Gaurav who is busy in throwing ballons at Adhiraj.
" Ouch.... " Gaurav hissed and looked at his wife.
Adhiraj laughed looking at Gaurav's face
Kunal was laughing at every one and is escaping from each and everyone.
Renu and Keerthi who saw that gestured eachother.
" Kunal bhai.... " Renu and Keerthi called him sweetly
Kunal narrowed his eyes at them
" Stay away.... " Kunal stepped back.
But Renu and Keerthi were so perfect in hitting their targets that Kunal got drenched in water.
Kunal huffed at that and glared both the girls.
" Ahh... " They screamed and ran in different directions.
Renu hid behind Aman while Keerthi was looking for a place to hide.
" Bhai... No, please.... " Keerthi requested him while running
" Stop there Keerthi... " Kunal chased Keerthi followed by Rohan, her brother who was not only drenched in water but also in haldi. And all thanks to his sweet sister Keerthi.
Keerthi picked up a haldi bowl while running to use it against Rohan and Kunal.
" Don't come to me... I will throw all these at both of you " Keerthi warned stepping back
" Look back... " Kunal said
" Bhai, you can't fool me ok... I know no one is behind me " Keerthi said still stepping back.
" Arey... This idiot is not gonna listen. Ask that man to move aside " Rohan said
" Harsh... Harsh... Move aside" Kunal yelled at the man behind Keerthi but that man is too busy in his phone with earphones on
Keerthi turned back and the next second got bumped into Harsh, Surekha's son .
All the haldi fell on Harsh and Keerthi. Keerthi was about to fall down but Harsh held her wrist and pulled her towards him.
Keerthi was so shocked at the happenings and closed her eyes in fear held his shirt tightly
" Keerthu... Are you ok?? " Rohan asked moving towards her
Hearing her brother's voice Keerthi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man infront of her who is still holding her close to him.
She immediately moved away from him and stood beside her brother.
" Iam fine bhai... " Keerthi said
" Harsh... Yaar Iam so sorry about it... " Kunal apologized pointing towards his clothes.
" It's ok.... I know it's all common in a wedding. But looks like you all are enjoying alot. " Harsh smiled looking at them.
" Very much.... Come let's go... Hmm... By the way let me introduce them " Kunal said looking at Rohan and Keerthi.
" This is Rohan, Mayura's brother and this is Keerthi, Mayura's chachu's daughter. " Kunal said
" And guys, he is Harsh. Surekha maasi's son. " Kunal said
Hearing Surekha's name both Rohan and Keerthi felt little uncomfortable.
Unlike their di... They are unable to forget what all Surekha did. It doesn't mean that they are mistreating her or disrespecting her... It's just that they are maintaining a safe distance from her
They both give him a small nod in acknowledgement and left the place.
" What happened to them???" Harsh asked
" Nothing... Let's go. " Kunal said though he knew the reason.
" Hmmm.... By the way what's her name?? Keerthi right?? " Harsh asked with a smile.
Kunal narrowed his eyes at Harsh.
" Don't even think about flirting with her. Adhi bhai would kill you " Kunal warned Harsh knowing about his flirting nature
" What man!! I was just asking. And haa for your kind information Iam not a flirt " Harsh defended himself.
" Yeah... Yeah... I know " Kunal rolled his eyes at Harsh
" Let's go... " Kunal said.
