THANKS! Okay, so this is the ending, but I am READY with my new FF..it was going to be called Main Hoon Na but unfortunately my friend is starting that FF name in another section..I believe she already has..don't want to seem like I'm copying... 😕 So instead I chose..."Tumse Hi." Plain, simple, and that song is like the best for my new FF. 😆
LAST PART:
Manya watched, smiling, as the bangles filled up her wrists. She laughed excitedly as her mother put the "dupatta" over her head, smiling.
MM: Chand se bhi pyari beti hai meri!
Manya smiled sweetly.
--------------------------------------------------------
Boys danced around Akash as he stood in front of the mirror, dressed full in sherwani.
Om: AKASH! Aur sherwani mein! Manya kahin behosh hi na ho jaye!
Akash looked at him, almost panicking.
A: Sach?
Rehan laughed.
R: Akash, tu kabse gabrane laga?!
Akash sighed, laughing. He looked at the ring on his finger and grinned.
A: Jabse mohabbat hui!
The boys whistled. Akash raised his hands up.
A: Okay, everyone OUT!
R: WHAT? Kyun?
A: Kyunki...mujhe koi kaam kerna hai...!
Om: Biwi tho abhi ayee nain, abhi kaun se kaam hai?!
Akash rolled his eyes.
A: Iss kamre ki halat dekh rahe ho? Manya dekh ker hi gir paray gi!
R: So we'll help--
A: Na! Aaj..main Manya ke liye KHUD sajaoon ga yeh kamra..
--------------------------------------------------------
Manya's eyes flipped open as she stared at herself in the mirror, listening to Kiran scream excitedly.
K: BARAAT AGAYEE! BARAAT AGAYEE!
All the girls around Manya giggled and raced downstairs. Manya laughed and stood up. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time nervously.
--------------------------------------------------------
Akash entered the house, greeted by giggling girls, Manya's parents and Uncle Raj.
Akash touched their feet and they gave him "ashirwad."
Akash walked in the house while everyone danced and sang. His eyes searched the whole room.
R: Dulha raja ka dulhan ko doond rahe hain?
Akash laughed.
A: Nain, main tho uski best friend ko doond raha tha.
R: Uski? Mathlab main tumhari best friend nahin hoon ab?
Akash held his ears playfully.
A: Sorry, best friend ji!
Roopa giggled.
R: Well, tum jitne bhi jhoot bolo, Akash, main jaanti hoon tumhari nazrein kise doond rahi hain. Lakein THODA intezar tho karo!
Akash groaned as Roopa raced away. He met a couple of guests, pretending to be interested in what they had to say.
Yeh Manya HAI kahan? Dulhan ko itna time nain lagna chahiye!
--------------------------------------------------------
The pundit ji calls out,
P: Mahurat ka waqt ho gaya hai! Dulha dulhan mandip mein ajayein!
Akash sat down, sighing impatiently. The wind suddenly blew, throwing a few roses in his face. He pushed them backwards and tilted his head. He looked once and turned away and suddenly looked back.
Manya, dressed in the most gorgeous red lehnga ever, was coming down the stairs, held by MM and MS. Her eyes were lowered to the ground, her head covered in the dupatta.
Akash stared, stunned. The music came on,
Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein...
Tu jo mili ek din mujhe
Mein kahin ho gaya lapata
He stood up as Manya reached him. He breathed in the scent of her perfume that he was now very much familiar with. Although there was loud music bursting through the halls, Akash couldn't concentrate on anything else.
P: Baiit jaiye na...
Manya sat down, still looking down.
P: Aap baitiye na--
Manya giggled. She looked up at Akash, who smiled as their gaze met.
M: Akash...?
Akash sighed as her voice was a sweet melody.
A: Haan, Manya...?
M: Baito ge nahin tho shaadi kaise hogi?
Akash suddenly snapped out of it as he looked around himself. Guests laughed as Om and Rehan whistled loudly.
Almost blushing, he quickly sat down.
P: Ab apna haath kanya ke haath mein dhi jiye...
Akash grinned. He held out his hand and Manya placed her hand in it. He looked at her and she looked back at him. The music of "Chand Tarun Mein" played as their eyes met and held each other's gaze.
As the rituals went on, Akash lightly squeezed Manya's hand. She nudged him a bit to stop him, but he only laughed silently.
P: Ab kanya ki maang mein sindoor bariye...
The music played louder as Akash stared into Manya's eyes. Flashbacks of him putting the sindoor on her before played as he raised his hands to her "maang." Manya closed her eyes as Akash filled the red color on.
P: Ab manglsutra pehniye...
Manya closed her eyes at his touch as Akash fastened the beads around her neck. She opened her eyes and stared into Akash's.
He smiled at her softly.
P: Ab saath pherun ke liye kharre ho jaiye.
Akash and Manya stood up. As laughter rose through the crowd, Manya confusedly looked down and noticed that Akash was clutching her hand.
Blushing, she dropped it furiously. Akash looked at her, puzzled.
A: Ky--
M: Ssh!
Akash rolled his eyes and began to walk around the fire for the "phere."
--------------------------------------------------------
Akash and Manya both stopped, reaching down for ashirwad. Wedding music played loudly.
Manya walked to her parents, tears in her eyes. She hugged her mother tightly. As she threw rice into her mother's "jholi," the song played,
Maya Tere Aanchal Ki...Main Hoon Aisi Gudiya Re..
Tune Mujhe Janam Diya...
Tera Ghar Kyun Beghana Hai...
Maya Tune Mujhe Janam Diya...Tera Ghar Kyun Beghana Hai...
They slowly walked to the car. Manya turned one last time and stared at her father who had tears in his eyes. He hugged her tightly.
--------------------------------------------------------
After all the rituals were done, Akash and Manya, followed by giggling girls and Akash's mother, reached the staircase that led upstairs to Akash's room.
Just as Manya stepped foot on them, Akash suddenly bent down and grabbed her in his arms. Everyone hooted as Manya looked at him.
A: Apni jaan ke kadham abhi se thakne dhoon?
Manya giggled as he walked upstairs. As they reached the door, every noise dimmed down. They were finally alone.
Manya's heart raced. Akash smiled and threw open the door.
A: Cinderella, aapko apni castle mubarak ho...!
Manya laughed as she noticed the room. The carpet was full of roses all around, not even showing an inch of the carpet itself. A banner of "I Love You" covered in roses filled every closet and drawer. On the mirror of the dresser read "I Love You Jaaneman."
The bed was decorated with roses and flowers. Manya sat down shyly as a few girls protested, trying to come in.
A: GET OUT!
He shut the door, laughing. He turned and stopped.
On the bed sat Manya, under a "ghoongat." She was hugging her knees tightly. His heart raced as he walked to her slowly.
A: Welcome home, jaan...
The lights went dim and candle light filled the room. Akash slowly raised the ghoongat and Manya looked up, a bit shy.
The song played,
Tere Dil Mein Apna Ghar Basana Hai...
Teri Khatir Sabhi Hadoon Se Guzar Jaana Hai...
As Akash and Manya slowly laid down, the candles dimmed off completely and the only light was the dim light of the moon and stars.
Chand Tarun Mein Nazar Aye...
Chehra Tera...
