[Info : This ritual is done by both bengali bride and groom side . For the bride it said the last the feast in her paternal house being unmarried. There many dishes are prepared for the ritual . ]
Roy family is staying in another palace which is little away from Raghuvanshi palace .
Aadhira descended down the stair in a white saree with red border with her Boumoni and her best friend Ahana. Small designs are printed on tge saree . Her hair tied in a bun . Her face adorned with little makeup , bindi on her forhead . Her eyes adorned with kajal . Gold bangles in her hand . A gold neckpiece in her neck. The sounds of anklets can be heard .
She was made to sit on the floor . There were different dishes which were prepared for her .
Reference:
The elders blessed her . There is an emotional atmosphere as their little princess is going to leave them .
" Baba don't cry or I will also cry then who will eat these dishes . " Aadhira said to her father wiping his tears .
"You can't be serious right we are emotional and this lady is only thinking about her food " Aruna ,her sister told her hitting her head lightly .
"Jamaibabu your wife is abusing me " She told her sister's husband while rubbing her head .
"Hey don't hit my baccha " Jai her sister husband said hugging her dear sister in law . Aadhira was smiling sheepishly at her sister .
The atmosphere became light with their banter .
Like this they spent the noon with laughing teasing and of course eating delicious bengali dishes .
In the evening the garden area were designed with lights and flowers as the mehendi ceremony will be held here . The Raghuvanshi family came here for the ceremony.
"How is the preparation" Aditya's father asked Nabarun ji, Aadhira's father .
"Everything is done just the ladies need to come here , it's been three hours and still they are not ready . They are taking this much time to be ready for the mehendi, I think they will take the whole day to be ready for the marriage" Aadhira's father told him . YUvraj ji , Aditya's father laughed at his last sentence .
" Really Mr. Roy " Aadhira's mother said .
"I'm doomed " Aadhira's father said being scared of his lady love .
Aditya's father left the place sensing the danger .
"No I was just kidding " Nabarun ji said sweetly to her wife .
The younger generation just suppressed their laughter seeing their father getting scold from his wife .
Aadhira who was laughing till now stopped sending a gaze on her . Turning around she found none other than her would be husband staring intently at her . He is looking not less than a greek god . His sharp jaw , thick hair , hazel orbs are looking hypnotizing to her . She was lost staring at him that didn't even know when he came in front of her .
Aditya's outfit
"Hey" He said to her .
Getting back to sense she replied "Hi "
"You are looking handsome Mr. Raghuvanshi" She told him admiringly .
"You are no less Mrs . Raghuvanshi" A red hue spread accross her face . She felt a current in her body hearing Mrs. Raghuvanshi from him .
Aadhira's outfit
They were again lost looking at each other until a cough broke there staring contest .
"If you're done then can we go " Sanvi , Aadhira's sister in law said teasingly .
"Yeah yeah " Aadhira said shyly looking down .
Then the mehendi ceremony started . The ladies were busy applying mehendi where the mens make themselves busy in talks . Soft music was playing in the background .
After seeing Aadhira's discomfort Aditya came to her .
"Are you okay " He asked .
" Yeah , it's just my back is hurting from this continuous sitting " She replied .
Aditya placed some cushion behind her back grabbing those from another place .
"Ok now " He asked .
Aadhira nodded getting the comfort .
The elders were looking at the couple admiring them .
It took three long hours to finish the mehendi of everyone . To give it a bengali touched Adhira's foot were adorned with Alta .
When everything was done they move to eat something . Seeing everyone busy Aadhira pouted . First she is hungry and then this mehendi .
"Hungry" A sudden whisper said to near her ear. Being shocked she turned around and found Aditya.
"Um yeah " She said embarrassingly.
"Come " He said .
Without listening to her reply he made her sit on a chair and went to get food for her .
After taking a plate full of food he sat in front of her . Then he took a morsel of food and placed in front of her mouth .
She took it without saying anything.
Then they get busy in small talks while Aadhira also makes himself eat with her .
