~•EPILOGUE•~

After 2 days..

Today Meera and baby both were getting discharged from the hospital...

Everyone left already for the welcome of their beloved princess..

While akaay helped both Meera and baby to sat comfortably and he himself sat on driving seat..

Before he could start the car Meera held his hand and whispered slowly

" It's her first ride as three"

Akaay smiled looking at her

" We have came so far" akaay said looking at the little girl sleeping in her mumma's arms..

" Yes.." Meera replied looking at their daughter...

They smiled and moved to their home..

As Akaay and Meera pulled up to their home, a sea of expectant faces greeted them from the doorway. The sound of dhol beats, expertly pounded by a trio of enthusiastic drummers, filled the air, growing louder with each passing moment. Their family members, beaming with joy, poured out of the doorway, eager to catch the glimpse of the newest addition to their family.

Akaay carefully stepped out of the car, cradling their precious bundle of joy in his arms. Meera emerged beside him, radiant with post-partum glow, her eyes shining with happiness. Her hair was tied back in a loose bun, and a faint smudge of exhaustion under her eyes only added to her beauty. The sight of their little family of three brought cheers and tears to the assembled crowd.

Their home, transformed into a vibrant haven, twinkled with fairy lights and colorful streamers that danced in the gentle breeze. A majestic toran of marigolds and mango leaves adorned the entrance, welcoming the newborn with ancient tradition. The sweet fragrance of incense sticks and freshly baked laddus wafted through the air, mingling with the infectious energy.

Everyone was dancing on the beats of dhol...and asked akaay to join too...

He smiled looking at Meera and handed their baby to her..

Meera's eyes glistened with tears seeing the whole family dancing while laughing and enjoying....

"Thankyou for coming in our life baby" Meera said whispering to the little baby who was sleeping soundly

the entire family was dancing in celebration, all moving in joyous rhythm...

After some time they all were standing at doorstep to welcome their little munchkin.. at her home...

Akaay's mother performed aarti of Meera,baby and akaay... After that they were about to enter but akaay stopped them..

" Ruko rukoo" akaay said and rushed inside the home making everyone confused.. he came back with a long white cloth...

" Because.. today my both Lakshmi is entering the home sooo" akaay said and ishika placed a plate filled with red Alta infront of Meera..

Tears came in her eyes..

" pichle janam m bhot ache karam krre the mene" Meera said cracking a joke... Everyone smiled...

Meera placed baby's feet gently in the plate and akaay helped her to take her footprints on the cloth...

Later Meera dipped her feets in the alta and walked on the cloth...

As they reached inside Meera leaned into Akaay, her voice barely audible over the music, "We're home." Akaay smiled, his eyes shining with happiness, "We sure are." He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close, as they gazed at their daughter, bathed in the love of their family.

In that instant, time stood still. The world outside receded, leaving only the warmth of their home, the love of their family, and the promise of a bright future for their little one

After few days today it was naming ceremony of baby girl

The sun had barely risen over the Mumbai, but the atmosphere inside the raghuwanshi mantion was already electric with excitement. Today was the day of baby's naming ceremony, a sacred ritual that would officially welcome the little one into the family.

In the beautifully decorated puja room, the aroma of incense sticks and fresh flowers filled the air. The priest, Panditji, sat cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by various deities and sacred texts. The family gathered around him, dressed in their finest traditional attire.

Akaay was dressed in a white kurta and meera was wearing a red colour anarkali suit they entered the room carrying their three-month-old daughter, wrapped in a soft pink blanket. Her tiny hands were adorned with intricate henna designs, and a delicate gold pendant glinted around her neck.

Panditji began the ceremony by lighting a lamp and invoking the blessings of Lord Ganesha. The family joined in, reciting prayers and chanting mantras in unison. Meera gently placed baby on a beautifully decorated cradle, surrounded by sacred symbols and offerings.

Next, pandit ji started the puja.. after a while the pandit ji said

" Putri ke naam R se rakhne ka abhagya prapt hua hai aapko"

As soon as pandit ji announced the letter everyone started to think a name..

" Roop?" Ishika suggested..

" Nahi! Roohani?" Aashi said and one by one everyone suggested a name..

" Saare ruko!! Sabse best rabdi rakh dete hai! Wo waise hi itni pyari si hai rabdi jaisi" dhruv said making everyone laugh..

"Apni beti ka.naam rakhio rabdi" akaay said making a face..

" Toh bhaiya aap hi batayiye na kya naam rakhe" dhruv said making a face on the rejection of his suggestion..

Akaay looked at Meera.. she smiled

And they both said in unison

"RIVAAH RAGHUWANSHI"

everyone clapped and smiled..

Pandit ji tied a sacred thread on Rivaah's little hand and said

"From this day forward," he declared, "this child shall be known as RIVAAH May her name bring her strength, wisdom, and joy."

As the ceremony progressed, the family offered prayers and blessings to RIVAAH, seeking protection and guidance from the divine. Panditji performed a sacred fire ritual, or homam, to purify and bless the child.

Welcome-

~RIVAAH RAGHUWANSHI~

Here A beautiful Journey of Akeera ended!! To all my silent or active readers will you please just comment a heart in comment section? Just a heart and I would think that this book was worth it for you!❤️

Which part of book you liked the most? Any scene you loved? Your fav character?

Throughout the journey of forced marriage mene yehi sikha hai ki hame kabhi bhi demotivate nahi hona chahiye.. us 1 insaan jisko appke hardwork,energy,work ki kadar nahi hai uske piche pareshan nahi hona chahiye...

When I started this book I never thought I would come here! But yes!! By your support here I am❤️

Mene hamesha aap sabke sath share Kiya hai jab bhi koi hate comments aaye and all because.. I knew! I knew aap log mujhe bologe ki " di don't worry we are with you" and usse mujhe motivation milega m wo us ek insaan ke shabd bhul jaungi aur sirf aap logo ke shabd rahenge mere sath...

Negativity har jagah hai.. and we cannot do anything about that but.. agar ham khud ko positive rakhenge na to apne aas pass ki chizo ko bhi positive tarike se dekh payenge...

Mujhe to pata hi nahi laga ki kab.. forced marriage ending tak pohch gyi...

I don't know what I'm feeling right now.. jo scene m 1 mahine pehle likhne ke liye marre ja rhi thi aaj wahi scene likhe to kuch khali khali sa lag rha hai..

I mean.. it's hard to say good-bye.. but with a warm smile,positivity and happiness I want to declare

FORCED MARRIAGE OFFICIALLY ENDED TODAY...

It would be a lie if I say I am not crying while writing this.. I cried.. I cried yesterday.. tears are still in my eyes.. it's really hard to finish a book

Aur aap sabke pyar ko dekh kar to aur bhi mushkil ho raha hai...

Par har story ek happy and beautiful ending deserve krti hai.. and #Akeera

Author ke changul ko paar krke finally apni khushio tak pohch hi gye🤭😂

Akeera! I know author thodi si dusht rahi aap dono ke sath par your author loves you a lot.. really a lot! Akeera.. ke sath mera ek special hi bond ban gya hai.. though they both are fictional.. but in my heart they are alive and will always be..

Nothing matter how many books I will write but.. you will be always special for me..

When I ended my #heyansha's book I was feeling exactly same.. a little empty, emotional,sad,happy, confused and etc..

To my dear readers...

I want to thankyou for everything.. thankyou for supporting me.. for telling me that I deserve this.. for appreciating my work.. I know you all must be a little sad that forced marriage is ending.. though I planned to write more

( Han bhyi hann trauma ke sath extent krne ka socha tha😂)

But then I thought sabke jute chappal aa jayenge bhai ghar par!! Fir sabke pairs dhundhke dene padenge hush! Mehnat ka kaam hai haina? Isleye mene Akeera ki khushiyon par aur aag na lagate hue aur aapke dilo ka khyal rakhte hue ye book yahi end krke ka decision karra!🤭

But majak se hatke.. thankyouuu sooo much!! You all really made my day's by your comments, whenever I got messages by you all on insta m bata nahi sakti mujhe har ek message padhke kitni Khushi hua krti hai

Aur Instagram par toh kafi readers se achi dosti bhi ho gyi hai🤭

I felt so good whenever someone would come and ask to me for advices,help, suggestions I loved it! Whenever you guys corrected my poor grammer😂 I loved it a lot!

Mujhe lagta tha ki hash!! Chalo koi to mujhe sahi raasta dikhara hai..

Wattpad par anna aur books likhna was never my plan but it was my bestt decision

Dekho abhi bhi kaise English aur hindi dono ka prayog karke ye last byee likhri hu😂

Pagal hai aapki author!

Par yehi par aapki aur meri kahani khatam nahi hoti🤭 ham aage milenge aur bhi books m...

Jitna pyar aap sab ne forced marriage ko diya I hope aap wahi pyar

Pinjara aur eesha-his accidental bride ko bhi denge...

Aapki author aap sabse bhotttt pyar krti hai!!! Bhott zyada...❤️

About characters...

Meera and akaay -despite the problems they faced in their life ,they never left each other's side, supported each other at every point, never let other feel that they are worthless,they supported each other's passion and work...

Even after the seperation they fought with destiny for their love..

That's what a true love is.. yahi hai kitabo wala pyar... Bhale hi ye dono ek dusre se kitna bhi lade par zyada der tak dur nahi reh paate hai ...

Akeera ne mujhe ye sikhaya hai ki apne partner par wishwas rakhna chahiye...agar pyar hai to efforts bhi hone chahiye... Rishte nibh jaate hai agar ham nibhana chahe toh..

Akaay : Mr meera's pagal aadmi! You raised everyone's standards!!😤🤣

Akaay was a character whom I thought

I would make a red flag but.. no! Red flags aur meri books m? Thode mushkil hai.. hehe but I'm proud on my decision! Uff akaay aapne hamare standards iss kadar badha diye hai ki bas puchiye mat!! Aap aur aapki biwi dono ne hi hame bhot hasaya hai!

Meera: akaay's biwi ji.. Meera is a character who is so close to my heart... I wanted myself to experience how she always used to get angry from akaay and he would say sorryy and try to make up..but experience krne ko patani kab milega isleye mene socha likhte hai yeh sab.. life wasn't fair with Meera,she suffered a lot still stood brave....

Padosi!- aap sabko padosi toh yaad honge hi?🤣 Meera aur akaay ki har conversation m padosi hote hi hai.. par aaj tak pata nahi laga ki hai kon ye padosi!!!😤😂😂

Dhruv- okay so dhruv is inspired by me😭🤣 you know meri timing bhi galat hoti hai... Dhruv ko tarah.. aur m bhi moment spoiler ban gyi hu😭🤣 mere bhaiya mujhse tang aa gye hai ab to!😂

Meera ,ishika,aashi,srishti- are perfect example of a sister who stood by their siblings at every point... And

Avinash, anirudh,akaay,dhruv-are best example of brothers.. they protected their sisters no matter what happened...

Srishti and avinash- this couple shows how destiny plays with us, kese koi ajnabi se aap dost,premi,aur ek dusre ke saathi ban jate hai ,rishte to nibh jaate hai bas aapke efforts hone chahiye

Anirudh,aashi and dhruv,ishika - inki kahani kuch yu thi ki sath rehkar,ek dusre ko dekh kr ,mil kar bass pyar ho gya.. aur wo pyar kab ishq m badal gya pata hi nahi laga..

Akaay's family

- this family has raised my standards.. every girl deserve in- laws like akaay's family.. ,a mother in law who supports you and give you the love as a mother not as a mother in law.. a father in law who tries to fulfill every wish of his daughter, grandparents who never taunt her or anything..

MEERA's family

- despite knowing that meera's real parents were no more ,karmarkar family accepted her as a daughter,gave her love never let her feel that she's not their blood

Ankush and akshara

- a couple who supported their friends and balance their life with love and happiness...

Aniket and Tanya

- aniket was a orphan but Tanya became his family,his home and never let him feel that he is alone in this world .

Little akshit and krish

- ghar ke do chotte se pyare se bache.. inki baato ne hamesha hame hasaya hai🤭 finally inki wish puri ho gyi.. chotti behen mil hi gyii

RIVAAH

- Rivaah would be the luckiest child ever to get a family like this and parents like Akaay and Meera!!✨

A special thanks to my readers who managed charcter accounts on insta and gave your part in this journey 🤍 I would be always grateful to you

Mera man kar rha hai ki m likh hi jau😭 rukne ka man nahi kar rha...

Par... M Iss kahani ki yehi par ek sundar si ending ke sath khatam krte hue..

Aap sabhi see alvida lena chahungi🥺🤍

I will miss my Akeera and youu all!!!

Milte hai pinjara and eesha:his accidental bride m✨

Bonus chapter will be out soon❤️
