''Kanya ko bulwaiye,beta.''
''Ji..'' Shefu replied,politely.
After few minutes,main lights were dimmed and a spotlight fell on the stairs.Slow music echoed in the background.Aakash couldnt move his gaze away from the sight infront of him.He smiled.
Ananya,dressed in pure Rajputi bridal finery,descended down the stairs with Shefu's help.She carefully sat down as Shefu helped her sit down. Everybody in the marriage hall were praising Ananya's Rajputi looks.
Ananya leaned down a bit and said, ''Bhagwaan ne bari fursat se tumhe banaya hai,Ananya.. You look beautiful and gorgeous.''
Ananya blushed at the way he was praising her.She was no less than him. ''Aap bohut handsome lag rahe hai,Aakash.. Kisiki nazar na lag jaye aapko..''
''Bhala mujhe kiski nazar lag jayegi... Lag bhi gayi toh tum nahi rahogi uski aakhein phordene keliye..'' he replied with anaughty smile.
''Aap bhi na,Aakash.. Har waqt mazaak sujhta rehta hai... (after a pause) sach mein,agar kisine bhi aapko nazar lagayi toh uski aakhein noch lungi..'' She replied.
''Hmm... Ab aayi na sahi track pe... Punjaban ki hone wali ardhangini se aise hi expect karna chahiye... Ekdum sherni jaisi..'' Aakash replied.
Ananya blushed and smiled,bowing her head down... Aakash held her hand and carressed it gently. She smiled softly and looked at him with lots of love.
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai,
Yaara main kya karu,
Sajde sar jhukta hai,
Yaara main kya karu,
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai,
Yaara main kya karu...
As the Panditji read the mantras,Aakash and Ananya completed the ''Jaimala'' rasam amidst fun and frolic. Shefu and Megha bursted party poppers when they exchanged garlands.Shower of flowers followed it.. Then,Megha came and di the ''Gatbandhan'' of Ananya and Aakash.
Followed it was the ''Pheras''.As instructed by the Panditji,Ananya and Aakash took the 7 vows keeping the Fire as its witness.. Everyone showered them with flower petals. After the pheres,they sat down..
''Beta,vadhu ke maang mein sindur bhariye..'' Panditji asked.
Aakash took a pinch of sindoor and applied it on Ananya's hair parting.She closed her eyes to feel his touch.
''Ab mangalsutra pehnaiye vadhu ko.'' Panditji told.
Aakash took the mangalsutra from the plate of roses and tied it around Ananya's neck,marking her as his wife,finally. Sound of clap and shower of flowers followed it.. The couple was blessed by the elders and Aakash's bebe(dadi in Punjabi).
''Sada suhaagan raho.. Doodho nahaao puto phalo. Ab Aakash aapki zimmevari hai,puttarji... Uska khayal rakhna.. Aur,agar iss khotte ne twadda khayal na rakkha,mere paas chali aana,aisi kaan khheechungi ki sab manners wapas aajayegi..'' Bebe said..
''Kya bebe,tussi bhi mere biwi de naal complaint kar rahe ho..'' Aakash said,being embarassed.
Ananya nodded and smiled.
Finally,Ananya and Aakash became one after crossing many hurdles in their life.
*The End*.
