Karuna Pov
"Kareena wait", I shouted,
But she didn't stop and ran out, I smiled, finally my sister's love story is coming on track, I am curious to know what happened between them, did they confessed their love to eachother, my eyes widened with that thought, If Kareena is not going to tell me what happened between them then I will ask Rahul about it,
After sometime, I heard someone entering my room, it is Maa, Kareena and some of my cousin's,
"Di baaraat have come", said Kareena excitedly,
( Baaraat = marriage procession )
I felt a wave of electricity running all over my body and my heart started pumping heavily, I don't know what is this feeling, I am excited and equally nervous, excited to see Raj after three long days and nervous because it's a new beginning of my life,
"It's time to walk on the aisle beta", said Maa and the intensity of my feelings increased,
She kept her hand on my shoulder and I grabbed her hand tightly,
"Maa I am feeling.... I don't know Maa how to say", I said in confusion,
"It's okay beta it happens with everyone", said Maa and gestured me to get up,
"The moment you will see him all your fear will disappear in the air, now let's go someone is waiting for you eagerly", said Maa and I blushed,

Raj Pov
I am eagerly waiting for my love to arrive,
"Sit down Jiju", said Karan pointing at one of the chair placed in the middle of the stage,
"It's okay Karan, I am totally fine", I said,
"And eager to see my sister", said Karan teasingly and I smiled,
"When your time will come na then you will understand how I am feeling right now", I said,
I heard the sound of music and turned my head from left to right to find out the reason of sudden music,
My eyes stuck on one direction, my love, my life, my Una, she is looking no less than a goddess on her bridal attire, she is looking so nervous, I just want to hold her in my arms, slowly she came towards the stage and all the time her head was low only when the photographers asked her to lift her head she did a little bit but her eyesight were still lowered,
I went towards the end of the stage and offered my hand for her to grab, the moment she sees my hand, she lifted her head slightly to look at me and within seconds, shyly, she again lowered her head and I smiled brightly,
She grabbed my hand and I hold it tightly,
"Now I am never ever letting you go away from me", I wishpered close to her ear so that only she can hear it,
She tightened the grip on my hand and blushed even harder, I feel so good to see the effect which I have on her,
Riya and Kareena also climbed on the stage while Kareena took Una on the other end of the stage and because of that I have to leave her hand which I didn't want to but I don't have any option, I became sad and my devil sister started giggling and I glared at her, she tried hard to suppress her giggle,
Then Karan and my friend sunny also climbed the stage with flower garland on their hands, sunny passed me the garland while Karan gave it to Una, then all three, Karan, Kareena and Una, move forward and we also did the same,
Now me and Una were standing in the middle of the stage facing each other with flower garland on our hands, while Maa, Paa, Mom and Dad also came on the stage,
Maa gestured Una to do the honour of putting the garland around my neck,
She came little bit forward and lifted her hand with the garland and I bend my neck to help her, and she put it around my neck,
Now mom gestured me to do the same and I move forward to put the garland around her neck but Karan and Paa lifted Una higher so that I can't reach to her neck, I lifted my hand and even jumped a little but her neck is out of my reach, she giggled after seeing my failed trials and I gave her pleading look to help me, she smiled and bend down her neck and I easily placed the garland around her neck,
"This is not fair Di", complained Karan making her blush,
All of us laughed out loud and then me and Una went to sit down on the chair,
"You are looking gorgeous", I said which increased the intensity of her blush,
"You are also looking no less than me", complimented Una and I smiled,
Soon all the guests and relatives one by one came up on the stage to click few pictures with us and after one hour maa come up on the stage and took us towards the sajan kot,
(Sajan Kot= it is an elaborate setting of food for the groom's side. The family of the Groom sits together with the Bride and Groom and they are served food by the Bride's family)
All my falimy members were already seated their and were waiting for our arrival, I sit down on the empty chair beside Riya and Una sat down beside me and sunny was on her other side, the moment we sat down Maa, Paa, Kareena, Karan and some of their other relatives started serving us,
Kareena was the one placing empty plates Infront of all and when our turn came she kept a plate for me and whispered in Una's ear,
"This feast is organised for only groom side and you are still not properly married to jiju which means you still belongs to bride side, so, no plate for you"
Una looked at her shockingly and glare at her and I took the benefit of the situation and kept my hand around Una's shoulder and said,
"Don't worry sweetheart, I will share my plate with you", and pushed my plate towards her,
Kareena giggled and Una's cheeks turned red because of blushing and she lowered her head shyly,
"Ohhooo", some of my cousin's started hooting making my Una blush even harder,
After finishing our dinner with a lots and lots of teasing we all went towards our wedding mandap,
( Mandap = A sacred tent used in Hindu wedding ceremony )
The priest started chanting some mantra and after few minutes he called Riya to tie the knot using the end of mine and Una's dupatta, then he gestured us to get up, me and Una then took seven rounds of the sacred fire, on initial four rounds Una was in the front and on last three rounds I was in the front,
Then priest asked me to put sindoor on Una's head and I did as he said, while putting the sindoor most of it falls on her nose,
( Sindoor = vermilion )
After few minutes the priest declared us as husband and wife and asked us to take the blessings of all the elders before starting the new journey of our life,
We both stood up and went towards my parents and touched their feets together, they both kept their hand on our heads happily, then we went towards Una's parents and touched their feets and they also kept their hands on our heads and gave their blessings, then we went to all the other elders present there and took their blessings,
Then finally the time for bidaai come and my Una started crying, I can't see her crying like this, I promise myself, this is the last time my Una is crying in my presence, she hugged her parents tightly then she hugged her brother Karan then she hugged Kareena and started crying even harder,
( Bidaai = The farewell )
"I wanted to spend my lot of time with you before my wedding, but I am sorry", said Una,
"Please Di don't be sorry", said Kareena trying to console my Una,
Then Una went towards Rahul, I initially become confused as why she is going towards him but then I remember how he has become the part of her family after putting his life on stake for her, she hugged him tightly and said,
"Please take good care of my little sister, she had already suffered alot and now I want her life to be filled with lots of happiness and I know only you can bring that happiness in her life, promise me Rahul you will take good care of her",
"I promise", said Rahul to Una and then turned towards my direction,
"This is the last time I am seeing her crying because of you", threatened Rahul,
"Because of me?", I asked confusedly,
"Yes, you, you are the one, who is taking her away from her family and that's why she is crying", said Rahul,
"Don't worry brother, this is the first and last time she is crying because of me", I said while keeping my arms around my wife's shoulder,
After meeting everyone, I took Una towards our car, she is crying nonstop and I feel so guilty that I am the reason why she is crying,
I opened the door for her, she get inside the car and I hoped inside from the other side of the car,
Driver start the engine of the car and I can see her becoming more restless and started crying even harder, she turned her head towards the window to look at her family, slowly the car started moving forward and she turned her head straight while crying continuously,
I kept my hand above her hand and squeezed it lightly, she raised her head and looked at me with her wet eyes, I took out my handkerchief from my pocket and use it to wipe those tears from her eyes and cheeks, instantly she hugged me tightly and rested her head on my chest,
I encircled my arms around her and bring her more closer to me and said,
"Shhhh! my cry baby",
She lifted her head a little and said,
"I am not a cry baby"
"Oh really", I said amusedly,
She hit my chest lightly while blushing,
"Aauuu", I cried in pain dramatically,
She again hit my chest and hide her face while hugging me tightly and I chuckled at her childish behaviour,
I am so happy that my Una is finally mine now,

Rahul pov
I excitedly came out of the room, dressed in the salwar kurta, I want to see her reaction, I have never wear such clothes before in my entire life and it's specially bought by her, I hope she likes it and won't get disappointed by her choice,
"Waoo! Rahul you are looking killer in this kurta", commented shiv,
"Thanks man", I said while rubbing the back of my neck,
"You are also looking cool, by the way have you seen Kareena?", I asked,
"Yes, just now I saw her going towards Karuna Di's room", informed shiv,
"Okay", I said and rushed to see the reaction of my girlfriend,
I remembered our last night encounter, how she had tried to threaten me by claiming me as her boyfriend and the moment I had removed my mustache, oh God her reaction is unforgettable, I desperately wanted to kiss her that time but I didn't want to scare her because of my any wrong move, I want her to accept me wholeheartedly and I am glad that I am getting success on it, I am glad that our relation is making some progress,
I was completely lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realise someone coming towards my direction and collided with that someone but before we both collapsed on the floor, I composed myself and protected both of us from falling, the moment when I became sure about my balance I lifted my head to have a look on her, and the moment my eyes met with her's, I forgot everything, these pair of eyes are the one whom I can stare my whole life without even complaining,
She is looking at me scaredly with wide eyes, I smiled seeing her face and tightens my hold around her to assure that she is safe and she relax a little bit, we both stayed on that position looking into each others eyes before she lowered her eyesight and her cheek turned red which proves that she is blushing,
(Note:- This scene is when Kareena is running out of Karuna's room before the baaraat's arrival)
"Leave me", wishpered Kareena shyly,
I nodded my head in denial and then realise our condition, my one hand was around her waist holding her tightly and the other hand was behind her head protecting us from falling, we are so close to each other and I like her this way, she belongs here in my arms, I don't know when she will realise it, I leaned closer towards her ear and she gripped my kurta tightly, I can feel the rhythm of her heart which is no different than mine,
"I will never leave my girlfriend", I said teasingly and look at her face to see her reaction,
Her eyes become wide but her lips curled into wide smile and her cheeks became more red,
I heard someone whistle and lifted my head,
"Okay! now understand why you were asking about Kareena's whereabouts", said Shiv,
I instantly composed myself and Kareena and stand straight,
"Shiv it's nothing like what you think, he saved me from falling, that's it", said Kareena,
"Don't lie sissy, I caught you, now I am going to say this to everyone, yuuuhuu", said Shiv and ran away,
"Dare you do that, I will kill you shiv", shouted Kareena and ran behind him,
I also ran and grabbed Kareena's wrist before she get out of my reach,
"Hey this is not fair, I came here to show you my dress and you are running away", I complained dramatically,
She turned towards me and said hurriedly,
"Obviously you are looking good, after all I have selected this dress for you, now please let me go",
Instead of letting her go I pulled her hand and she falls on me,
"My girlfriend is also looking gorgeous today", I said and pecked her cheek without even thinking,
oh shit! What have I done, I don't want her to run away from me,
"I...I..I a..am I am sorry Kareena, you are looking so gorgeous, I couldn't control....",
She pecked on my cheek and ran away,
I stay glued on my place while trying to process, WHAT JUST HAPPENED, oh God! She just now, I lifted up my hand and touch my cheek and feels the moisture there, which means I am not daydreaming, she just now kissed me,
