Darjeeling
Snehal left no stone upturned to make Raima's wedding a perfect one. She herself decorated the mandap (marriage dais )...Snehal walked back giving her work one look. It was magnificent, Snehal smiled satisfied with her work. The marriage was scheduled to be a day after the sangeet. Snehal after spending good time with Rohan had started her work in the midnight itself, as she wanted it to be perfect.
Two arms slowly went around her waist pulling her back, Rohan pecked her cheek; ''You are overworking , take some rest''
Snehal leaned on him; ''I just want it to be perfect''
Rohan; ''it is ...Raima is lucky to have you...so are you planning to make our wedding this beautiful too'' Snehal went mute, Rohan turned her around; ''don't tell me you are not sure on marrying me, because if that so. I don't mind turning into a cave man''
Snehal chuckled leaning on his chest; ''Why me Rohan ??? you could have got anyone...you are a hunk''
Rohan; ''because of this beautiful heart of yours. Snehal you are so dedicated to people you love...you stood by your sisters like a rock..You treat Khanna's like your own...right now also when everyone else is sleeping you are hear doing all you can to make your sister's wedding perfect. I fell in love with that...and about getting anyone ...I want you''
Snehal started playing with his shirt buttons; ''Rohan are you fine with a simple wedding, if baba agrees ...he won't be able to throw a grand affair''
Rohan; ''If he agrees??? He will ...and if he asks me I am ready to marry you right here right now...without wasting a penny..what say??? '' Snehal leaned more into his arms as if giving her life into his hands...Rohan stroked her hair...after some minutes he realised that she was completely worn out as she was responding in broken sentences . Rohan lifted her up carrying Snehal to her room, placing her on the bed...he caressed her head once before walking out.
As he walked out of her room he came face to face with Raima standing with her arms crossed to her chest; ''What were you doing in my sisters room this late''
Rohan rolled his eyes; ''Same pinch , why were you in bro's room at this hour''
Raima blinked and then smiled; ''I kind of like you, get ready after wedding...I will get you two fixed together...'' She turned to leave , stopped and spoke; ''Rohan kiddo is special, heart like that of hers should be guarded protectively...''
Rohan; ''I will do it with my life....and thanks'' Raima just smiled and walked off. Rohan shook his head; ''God this female and her attitude not even you are welcome... God help Arjun.. .''
Morning the house was filled with commotion, everybody was in a hurry getting things ready for the ceremony. Raima was checking herself in the mirror when she heard a knock; ''Come in''
Nitin stepped in little nervous , Raima turned around to face him; ''Any problem''
Nitin cleared his throat; ''you look good''
Raima; ''I know, I don't think you are here to praise my looks''
Nitin huffed; ''Raima...I know I have done a lot of bad things and asking for apology will not wipe my mistakes out. Still if you can, please forgive me...I really want to make a new start''
Raima looked at Nitin's extended hand , she took a step forward towards him.Taking his hand she smiled; ''I forgive you, even I don't want have a beginning with a past baggage .... Nitin we cannot be friends as of now...but in future I don't know...I promise I will try my all to like you'' Nitin nodded and walked out...Raima looked at her reflection ...she was a bride today....bride of her Arjun, it was the time to take the forst step towards her happily after. Raima for a moment recalled Alex...she closed her eyes making a silent prayer ; 'God!!! I have my happiness...please give Alex his...he is an amazing guy...he suffered enough for that one mistake...bless him God!!!''
Sam walked in; ''Rini..ready to go..'' Raima took a deep breath and walked out with Sam...she desended stairs walking towards her wedding dais. Snehal smiled wide when Raima looked at the decoration and gave her an appreciating smile..moving on to the dais. Raima joined Arjun to start the rituals. Raima's Mandap below
Sam came and stood next to Senal; ''kiddo we have a surprise for you''
Snehal; ''what is it...''
Sam; ''Breathe, once Rini completes the ritual you will''
Snehal; ''I am impatient now'' Sam just smiled....Rohan clicked pictures of the function. They had appointed the best wedding photographer , but Rohan wanted to capture all important moments himself. Media had been crowding the mansion for last 3 days. But being a private affair they weren't allowed in...they were being told that pics would be shared ...but they wanted to capture the moment themselves...to just have one unique picture which they could own.
Arjun Raima completed their vows and walked to their family for blessings, later for the media they walked on to a high poach with their family where media could click their pics...once done they walked inside to enjoy the party . Samrat walked into the middle of room; ''So we just witnessed one of the most beautiful couple taking the vows . As a father I am on cloud nine to see my daughter being so happy about leaving me for another man. '' raima rolled her eyes and others laughed...Samrat continued; ''But I have more...Snehu come here darling'' Snehal blinked and walked to Samrat..he wrapped an arm around her ; ''Mr. Mehra..you asked Snehal for Rohan some days back and I asked you time...now I ask Rohan for my Snehal...''
Arnav smiled wide he looked at his brother who gave a silent nod, Arnav turned to Samrat; ''So tell us when''
Samrat; ''they will exchange rings now...here itself...wedding in a week. Am I hurrying too much Snehu'' Snehal stood speechless...she looked once at her father Brijesh who was smiling wide with tears in his eyes, she couldn't believe how he agreed . Her eyes moved to her sisters, they gave her a thumbs up ...Snehal understood..she smiled whispering a silent thanks..Smarat shook her; ''Don't thank them..its me'' Snehal hugged Smarat tight.
In presence of the whole family Snehal -rohan exchanged Rings. Snehal wasn't ready of a big wedding...even after Raima-Sam insisted she turned adamant. The girls gave up, but Snehal kept one request Caroline wanted a church wedding for her only son. Samrat Rakhi readily agreed.
A week after the Raima-Arjun's wedding. Rohan -Snehal took their vows in the church and evening they revised the vows around holy fire...Snehal never dreamt of being a princess , her dreams were small simple. She never expected anything in return of her love, but she was blessed with it. Her sisters turned her into a real princess gifting her the most beautiful wedding gown When she walked down the aisle with her father , through her veil she saw the man standing at the other end. He was breath taking in every sense and now he was hers. Sam Raima stood there her brides maids all excited for their darling kiddo Amidst happiness the only thing that made eyes water was that Kiddo was going to leave for US in few months...Brijesh was happy that his daughter got an amazing life partner , but thought of parting from her was painful. Sam walked into his room...he was silently sobbing; ''Kaka are you crying''
Brijesh wiped his eyes; ''No kid...I am just too happy''
Sam; ''I can see that...are you worried for Kiddo''
Beijesh ; ''Sam I am happy, but she is going too far...what if she is in a problem...I konw my worries are baseless..but''
Sam held his hand; ''Kaka you think we will leave Snehal alone...she is our sister and will always be..we will always be there for her ...and for you too...''
Brijesh caressed her head; ''I trust you....'' he wiped his tears; '' Sam I don't have enough words to thank you guys''
Sam; ''Kaka...Mom dad are good to all their staff. But not emotionally attached to them, Kiddo was different she felt so own..she gave so much of love to our family that whatever and how much ever we do it would be less...and then you. You took care of us too...you are family Kaka...then why thank your own''
Brijesh patted her cheek; ''Lets get going, I have to make arrangements for the journey of you guys''
Both the couples got a the honeymoon trip as a gift from Mehra's. Samrat gave one to Sameera and Neil...he regretted that they never got a chance to be a part of her wedding . But he now he wanted to fill that gap with a small gift
After few days. Mumbai
Snehal walked around Bling office touching each and every part of it, her eyes were wet. So many days and nights with Rini. Their plans to get justice for Sam. Snehal took a deep breath..Sam Raima warped their arms around her..Snehal sniffed; ''I never thought I would go far from you two''
Raima; ''Its just 18-20 hrs ...you can never be far darling...''
Sam; ''And I am coming to see you you every year..so are you'' Snehal now cried like a kid. Sam rubbed her back; ''you know Kiddo...even if you don't want you will have to come before a year...you know...to meet your niece or nephew.. ''
Snehal- Raima gaped at Sam, raima; ''Wow...you just knocked day lights out of me...when are you due''
Sam; ''In 7 months...I thought let you two cry all emotional. Then I will break the news''
Snehal ; ''Sam I am so happy...it should be a girl...just like you...and Rini should get a boy because she is herself like one trapped in boy's body'' In return she got a light slap on her head from Raima.
Nitin's Apartment
Sam; ''Nitin, I won't eat whatever you are cooking...I am not risking my life''
Nitin; ''you don't love me anymore''
Sam; ''off course I don't, I have a new one to love...you are out dated''
Nitin pouted; ''I am jealous...but...no one can take my place...not even the little one. Do you get me'' Nitin kept his head on Sam's lap closing his eyes ..they sat in a moment of silence enjoying the bliss.
Sydney Australia
Raima was busy talking over the phone instructing her staff, Arjun took the phone disconnecting it; ''Heiress not on our honeymoon ''
Raima; ''we haven't left the room for past 3 days...lot for moon and honey, now time for work'' She walked past him to her phone...Arjun followed her scooping her up and dumping her on the bed, he locked her below his body; ''I can't get enough of you...so there is a lot of honey and moon pending of us..''
Raima giggled as Arjun tickled her...he buried his face in her neck. Raima caressed his head; ''Super star...you made me Rini again'' Arjun pecked her neck and Radhika could feel him smiling against her skin.
Switzerland
Rohan pulled open the curtains, letting the sunlight in...Snehal kept her hand on her eyes , pulling the duvet over her eyes she turned in the opposite direction..Rohan smiled; ''get up honey''
Snehal popped her hand out; ''five minutes please''
Rohan; ''Snehu your five minutes turn into an hour...no more five minutes get up'' Snehal threw off her blanket giving Rohan a sweet smile..she opened her arms calling him. Rohan couldn't resist the offer; ''you little Devil'' Wrapping his arms around her he pulled her to his chest rolling over on his back; ''Happy you got what you wanted'
Sneha; ''I know you will never deny me..''
Rohan pulled her closer; ''Because I can't....and I never will...God I love you so much woman''
Snehal popped her head up; ''then why get up...sleep with me...and I take you to heaven'' Rohan gave Snehal a smirk...rolling her below him he pulled the duvet over their bodies...
