Arnav was sitting in his room, holding a photo in his hand, he was staring at the photo while he remembered the fateful night when his car met with an accident and fall from the cliff along with his lady love but luckily he got safe, a tear fall on her photo.
"chotey" anjali walked in his room and saw him still not yet ready, she saw her brother sitting there silently. She walked to him and placed her hand on his shoulder "chotey"
Arnav looked up with tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, puffy. "di.. Mahi..!" he cried.
Anjali made him face her while wiping his tears "chotey you have to be strong..! How long will you stay in your past..? Some or the other day, you have to move out. Chotey..! See, today you are getting married to a girl. You can't neglect her for your past right..? She is coming in this house by holding your hand, you have to fulfill all your responsibility towards her. But if you still stay in your past, how will your marriage work..? Chotey..! Mahi was your past but Khushi.. She is your present and future."
"di, I am getting married just for nani. I can't see her in pain for me that's why I agreed to get married but at the same time, it's true that I can't let anyone come in my life, in my heart again. I always loved Mahi and will always love her. But yes..! As a human, I will take all the responsibilities of Khushi but can't give her the rights as her husband. I am sorry di" arnav said walking towards the window and looked on with tears in eyes.
"but chotey..." anjali was going to say something but nani walked in calling arnav.
"jee nani..?" he turned at her wiping his tears.
"chotey, you aren't ready yet..? Get ready fast beta. We have to reach there on time" she said looking at arnav's pale face who just nodded in reply. Nani walked to him and caressed his face saying "I know today you are agreed to marry her for my happiness but one day definitely will come.. when you will accept her with your heart and soul. I know she will make your life colorful again" arnav looked on. "now go and get ready fast"
Gupta house,
Khushi was crying while sitting in her room. "khushi, stop crying. Your kohl will get smudge"
"what else would I do jiji..?" she said crying. "don't you think bauji is making things in rush for my marriage..? What I asked him..? Just to wait for two years.. Once I would finished my study, I will marry the guy but no..! He is keen to giving my marriage with him"
"khushi, he is very nice person and they stepped ahead for this alliance then why would we step back and you can continue your studies after your marriage" payal convinced her while wiping her tears. "you will see, arnav jee will always support you in your every decision, just give each other some time"
"payal come soon..! They arrived" they heard garima calling them. "now do your make up properly" saying this payal left her room.
Garima and Shashi welcome Raizada's and soon the priest asked the groom to attend pre-wedding rituals. Arnav was chatting holy mantra along with priest while priest asked to bring bride. Payal brought khushi and they perform jaymala ritual and soon they took seven vows while arnav filled her hair partition with vermilion and tied sacred thread (mangalsutra) around her neck.
"now you are husband wife, go and take blessings from the elders" the priest said while they went to the elders and took blessings.
"welcome to the Raizada family Khushi" nani said placing a kiss on her forehead.
Soon they perform the bidaai rituals and left for Raizada house.
