Viren Khanna
On the same day evening, our sangeet was being held. After the Mehendi ceremony, we reached our home to get ourselves ready for the evening. Taking a long warm bath, I came outside the bathroom, with a bathrobe around me. I was skimming through my closet which had all my wedding rituals outfits hanging in them.
I took out my sapphire-colored plain sherwani which had a golden-colored border, which also had a jacket the same length as the sherwani. The jacket had numerous golden embroidered designs on them with lower parts consisting of motifs. I had paired them with golden-colored trousers.

After checking myself for one last time, I headed downstairs to check on others. This time the sangeet was taking place in a private hall where we can accommodate the huge crowd of our families. When I reached the hall, I saw Daksh talking to someone asking about the arrangements. He was dressed in asymmetrical wine-colored sherwani and paired it with black pants.
All my cousins have already reached the venue. It was us who needed to reach. Then I saw my grandparents coming downstairs. Dadu was looking at dadi with all the love he had for her. And dadi was blushing to whatever he was saying. I turned to see Daksh too looking at them, with a small smile on his face.
"Daksh are your parents coming today?", I asked him. His parents reached Mumbai yesterday. They left for Delhi since Daksh's cousin had some problems, so they couldn't attend my engagement and Mehendi rituals.
"Yeah, Vee they're coming. And it seems they can't wait to meet you and Akruti. Even now they keep asking me how did Akruti manage to change you? I seriously didn't know what to answer them", he told me. I chuckled at his words. True that Pari has indeed changed me.
"Boys shall we get going?", Dadi asked us once they reached us. We both nodded and started toward the venue. The moment I entered, I found myself being pulled for a hug.
"My god! Look at you! You're getting married Viren. I can't believe it", said Mrs. Radhika Chopra, Daksh's mom.
"Well, you need to believe it, aunt. Since I'm getting married.", I replied to her playfully.
"Look even our playful Viren is back now", I heard Mr. Aadhav Chopra, Daksh's father say. And aunt nodded her head.
"Trust me, dad, she brought our old Viren back to us", Daksh said to uncle.
"Okay, now let's get going inside", dadu ushered us. Aadhav uncle and dadu went inside talking happily with each other. Dadi and Aunt Radhika followed their suit. Daksh and I entered the hall. Damn man the decors were stunning. I really think both families should start doing business in event managing too.
There was a wooden floor at the center of the hall surrounded by circular dining tables and chairs. All types of light decors were hanging from the ceiling. The place was also decorated with white and blue flowers. A place swing decorated with flowers were kept at one corner for Pari and me. The place was totally giving me a ballroom feel. Pari's cousins, Rudhra, Alka, Vikrant, and Krisha made me sit on the swing., whilst Daksh was standing near me with a sulking face. All the guests started occupying their places.
A piece of soft music started playing in the background and I turned my face towards the foyer. There comes my happy pill. Looking gorgeous in her outfit. Her royal blue color skirt which had a flower embroidered pattern on them. And her top had an illusion neck, whilst her corset part was made of brown and gold sequins. Her earrings dangling on either side of her face. Her hair tied in a loose bun.

How gorgeous can she look? Nila made her stand near me and both the girls kept blushing. Thinking why I turned to see Daksh standing behind me with his jaws hitting the ground. I closed his mouth by pushing his jaw upwards and others laughed at his reaction.
Then we both were made to sit on the swing. I held her hand in mine and started caressing it. She shuddered to the touch. Turning my face to her, I was greeted by a glaring Pari's face.
"Behave Rey!", she admonished me. Like hell, I care. Again I started stroking her palm. She hastily pulled her hand out of my grip and glared at me. While I pecked her cheeks in return. And in a forthwith she started blushing. I smirked looking her reaction.
"You see I love my bride so much that not only her henna but also her lips and cheeks will turn into a darker shade of red.", I whispered to her in a husky voice near her ear. My hot breath was fanning her long neck which was waiting for my attention.
'Damn I'll be needing a cold shower that too now! God, please show some mercy on me!', I begged internally. Thank goodness!! My brothers-in-law started the function.
"Well, hello to everyone present here. Today we're here to celebrate the sangeet function of my sister and best friend come brother-in-law", Sharav announced to everyone. This time Sahil grabbed the mike from him and started speaking.
"So here comes the first performance, by the grandparents of both the families.", saying this they cleared the stage. I saw eagerness in Pari's face and smiled at her.
All the three grandparents started dancing at Abhi Toh Party. Damn these guys. They are literally rocking the stage. Pari and I stood from our place and started hooting and clapping for them. Then the three grandmothers dragged us to the dance floor, and we too shook our hips to the song. And finally, when the song ended, we hugged each other and laughed.
"Gosh! Those six are so cute", I heard Pari say whilst wrapping her arm around my torso. I side hugged and kissed on top of her head and replied, "That they're".
Next was the dance performance by Navjot dad, Deeksha mom, Aunt Radhika, Aadhav uncle, Devesh uncle, and his wife danced on the song Chogada. They were killing everyone with their romance on the stage too. Then my boys dance on the song, Bom Diggy, and they dragged me for this song. We, the boys of both the families danced our ass to this song.
All this while my Pari had a smile on her face. Then Preeti and Sahil danced on the Iski Uski song. Those two were too cute. Then the girls of both the family danced on the mash-up song of Makhna, Sweety Tera drama, Aankh Marey, and Akh Lad Jave. All of them danced so well, but my eyes were only strained on my happy pill. She was looking so hot and sexy while dancing.
Damn man!
Then Daksh and Nila danced on the Dilli wali girlfriend song. My god! How good they both were dancing. My jaws were hitting the floor and the same was Pari's.
"Rey did you knew that Daksh could dance this well?", she questioned me.
"No! Heck, I thought Daksh couldn't even do a single step, but he's killing the stage with Nila", I replied. Everyone clapped and hooted for their performance. Radhika Aunt reaching the duo, hugged and kissed Nila's forehead.
Suddenly the lights went off. What the hell? I kept on calling Pari, but she didn't respond to my calls. Then the lights came back, making me blind for a minute. I was surprised and shocked to see my Pari sitting in front of a piano placed on the stage.
"I never thought I would be singing in front of everyone since you're too special for me, I'm doing this", she said looking at me. How many talents are hidden inside her?
'My Hush Hush girl'.
She's a total package of silent and secretive girl. Taking a glance at me, she inhaled a deep breath. The moment she started singing, I knew that I fell in love with her one more time. The song was Raabta.
I, too, joined her on the stage and started singing along with her. The way her fingers moved on the piano keys, made me think whether she was actually touching the keys or not. She was moving the fingers in a smooth and soft manner. And man her voice, it was fucking beautiful.
She was sitting on the chair and playing whilst I held her shoulder and kissed on top of her head. The feeling was so magical. Only the claps of people brought us out of our bubble.
"Damn! You both could sing so well. Your kids are one lucky fellows", Daksh said to us. And my blushing queen started blushing and hugged me.
"Wow! I must say you guys can sing in duet whenever you want and Viren you can also sing a lullaby to my niece or nephew. Now, I don't need to worry about your voice, since it's good", Sahil said to me and others laughed at us.
Sharav also laughed looking at me. I glared at my brothers-in-law and my friend. Then everyone left the stage for Pari and me to dance. We both danced on the songs Tera Bin and Nazam Nazam. Then for a fast beat song we both danced on Morni Bankhe, Ghagra, and Badri ki dulhania songs mashup. All this time I was so happy because I get to hold my love in my arms.
It was so good to have her in my arms. The way she danced with me made me fall in love with her again. Each and every act of hers is making me fall in love with her. So when the song ended, I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her close to me. She scent is driving me crazy.
I couldn't control myself anymore. So I smashed my lips on her. She froze on the spot, while I heard a collective gasp from the crowd. I don't care because this is my wedding functions and I have every right to kiss my bride.
I let go of her only when she was finding it hard to breathe. She hugged me and hid her face in my crook. I picked her up and twirled around. And our families started dancing.
Pari and I along with all our family members danced on mashups of Kamariya, Nach dene sare, Gallan goodiyaan, and London thumakda.
I was feeling so happy looking at the happy faces of my family and my wife. She looked at me raised her eyebrows at me. I just nodded my head in no and mouth...
"I love you"
