With heavy snow falling outside the assembly, in this earlier morning, few people inside the assembly were precipitated to finish the work in their hand.
"Here is the marriage certificate!" The registrar said as he passed a document and a pen to Sultan.
Getting the pen and placing the certificate properly on the table, he passed it to the lady besides him with a happy smile "Darling!"
She simply putting a mask of smiling face, took the pen and signed it before giving him back so that he can do his work.
And these things are happening in the presence of the Prime Minister who looked pissed and the registrar only.
"Done!" He announced as he bent his head a little and peeked her cheek with her closing her eyes in pure disgust as she showed her cheek.
Getting away from him "Now that we are married" facing the Prime Minister "Let's concentrate on the business at the hand!" she announced while Sultan gave back the marriage certificate to the registrar to be validated.
"Well! The coronation cannot take place until a majority of the King's council officers are present." he informed with a straight face as he looked not so happy with the events.
"The interregnum will expire this afternoon, so I suggest you to hurry!" the man who just now got married said as he stood by his wife side.
"The law clearly states that the Queen must preside at the ceremony!" Prime Minister as he stood face to face with the couple "And it's Christmas Day!" he said smiling.
With an angry look "I don't care if it's Christmas or not! Go get her!" she with no respect for the elder man who looked at them with a hint of hate.

On the other side of Canamaris, inside the airport, she took a seat with her heart in her hands as tears threaten to fall from her eyes with her fingers playing with the bracelet offered by Pakhi..
Seeing that she has plenty of time in front of her and she needed to speak as the guilt and fear pressed her down, she pulled her phone out and dialled the only number that could rescue her at whatever time it is and wherever she is in this planet.
"Hey Madhu dear! Merry Christmas!" her father answered "It doesn't feel like Christmas without you here!" he said from the other side of the line "How is Christmas going there?"
"I'm at the airport Dad! Waiting for my flight!" she answered trying to be normal.
"Yeah?" he asked excited to see his daughter soon "You got everything you need for your story already?" he enquired.
"Hmmm Some!" she said as her voice cracked.
"That's good right" he stopped as he heard few sobs escape her lips "Okay! I see it's not good!"
"No Papa! Everything went wrong! Everything happened in a way I didn't expect. The person I was worried about hurting just got crushed and that too because of me."
"It's probably not as bad as you think dear!" he tried lifting her mood.
"I failed Dad! I bombed! I crashed and I burned!" she said as she gathered herself while the onlookers where having their eyes on her.
"So! It's a learning experience!" her father said but she didn't look convinced "You know what!" her father continued "Failures plant the seed for greater successes down the road."
"I wish!" she said heaving a breath and something clicked in her head that made her eyes twinkle "Wait a second Papa! What did you just say?"
"It's a learning experience!" her father repeated as looked on confused and uncertain.
