Chapter 80: The Shaadi Shenanigans

By PradiBhags

Scene 1: Wedding Decor Planning

(The living room of Vikram's house buzzed with energy.

The wedding decorator sat with his laptop, showcasing different décor ideas, while Anuradha held up her phone, keeping Tanvi connected via video call.

On the couch, Purab and Bhoomika sat next to each other, while Kiaan and Kiara occupied the single-seaters, all eager to finalize the wedding arrangements.

The decorator adjusted his screen, pulling up a presentation of venue decorations.

As the discussion grew serious, a tiny but determined distraction arrived.

Little Prakhar suddenly waddled toward the laptop, his tiny fingers reaching for the keyboard, eyes twinkling with mischief.

Purab spotted him just in time.)

Purab: Arrey, arrey, chhote shehzaade! Yeh kya karne ja rahe ho?

(Swiftly, he lifted the laptop away before Prakhar could press a random key.

Deprived of his fun, the little one pouted adorably-until he found a new target.

Anuradha's phone.

In a split second, he tottered toward her, fascinated by the glowing screen.

Before anyone could react, he shoved his tiny face close to the camera, his chubby cheeks filling Tanvi's screen.

Tanvi, now staring at an extreme close-up of Prakhar's curious face, burst into laughter.)

Tanvi: (in a cute tone) Hi baccha! Kya dhoond raha hai, beta? Dadi ke phone mein kuch khaas hai kya?

(Bhoomika chuckled, gently patting Prakhar's back.)

Bhoomika: Yeh soch raha hai ki Anuradha aunty ke phone mein koi button dabaane ko milega ya nahi!

(Hearing the laughter, Prakhar clapped his hands, convinced he had done something impressive.)

Bhoomika: (grinning) Chalo, main Prakhar ko le jaati hoon, warna yeh kaam nahi karne dega!

(She scooped him up and carried him outside to the garden, allowing the others to focus.

Kiara, then took the phone from Anuradha, smiling at her bhua on the phone screen.)

Kiara: Ram- Ram bhua... maine aapko venue ki photos bheji thi. Aapne dekhi?

Tanvi: (through the video call) Ram- Ram, beta!!! Haan... haan, dekhi maine! I really liked it. Bahut acchi jagah hai.

(Kiara's eyes gleamed as she revealed the theme.)

Kiara: Toh phir theme bhi bata deti hoon! Mumma wanted something simple, so we're going for classic white and gold-sophisticated and elegant.

(Tanvi's face lit up.)

Tanvi: Nice choice, beta! Simple yet classy. Accha hai!

(The decorator took this as his cue, flipping through décor designs.)

Decorator: Ma'am, yeh dekhiye, white and gold theme ke best setups. Aap log floral zyada chahenge ya minimalistic?

(He turned his laptop toward them, displaying slides of beautifully decorated venues.

Tanvi leaned in closer, squinting at her phone screen.)

Tanvi: Mujhe sahi se dikh nahi raha, Maa! Aapka connection theek nahi hai kya? Phone pe sab blurry lag raha hai!

(Anuradha shook her head with a laugh.)

Anuradha: Beta, phone screen pe toh properly dikhega nahi. Main tujhe WhatsApp pe bhej deti hoon!

(Tanvi groaned dramatically.)

Tanvi: This is not fair! Mujhe bhi wahaan sabke saath rehna hai! Mummy toh video call pe sab dikh bhi nahi rahi!

(Anuradha chuckled.)

Anuradha: Arrey beta, shaadi ke pehle aa rahi hai na? Tab sab kuch live dekh lena!

Tanvi: (pouting) Haan, but phir bhi! Mujhe sab kuch live dekhna hai... I mean, sab kuch!

(Kiara smirked.)

Kiara: Aapka FOMO level bahut high hai, bhua.

(Tanvi grinned.)

Tanvi: Obviously! Mere bhai ki shaadi hai! I need every detail!

(Kiaan, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up.)

Kiaan: Bua, don't worry! We promise to keep you updated! Har din ke photos aur videos bhejte rahenge!

(Tanvi smiled, her heart full.)

Tanvi: Theek hai beta... abhi ke liye photos se kaam chala loongi. Phir jab hum wahaan aayenge, toh dhamaal-masti karenge!

(The family laughed, their excitement for the wedding growing stronger.)


Scene 2: The Lehenga Store Chaos!

(Bhoomika, Jyoti, and Kiara step into an upscale lehenga boutique, the soft glow of chandeliers reflecting off the shimmering fabrics draped elegantly around the store.

The air buzzes with excited chatter, the rustling of silk and organza adding to the vibrant energy. The subtle scent of fresh fabric lingers, blending with the occasional whiff of perfume from other customers.)

Jyoti: (excited) Mujhe toh itni shopping ki aadat hi nahi hai!!! Mujhe laga tha, ki sirf dulha- dulhan ke liye shopping karni hai.... but inhone toh keh diya, ki everyone will wear new clothes!!!

Bhoomika: (laughing) Prem bhaisaab bhi naa!!!! aur woh bhi kya karein??? Naina toh unki choti behen jaisi hai!!!! Shaadi ek din ki hai, lekin shopping ek hafte se chal rahi hai!

Kiara: (dramatically) Arey shaadi ho chahe ek din ki, lekin tayyari full-on honi chahiye!

(Kiara scans the store, her eyes lighting up as she spots familiar faces... Riddhi, Meher, and Diya browsing through a rack of heavily embroidered lehengas.)

Kiara: (excitedly) Riddhi di! Meher di! Diya di! (waves and rushes toward them)

(The three young women turn at the call, their faces breaking into bright smiles as Kiara hugs them one by one.)

Riddhi: (grinning) Arrey, Kiara! Kaisi ho?

Kiara: (beaming) Main bilkul theek hoon, di! Aap sab kaise ho?

Meher: (excitedly) Uff! Super excited! Naina di ki life phir se track pe aa gayi! But... (sighs dramatically) thodi udaasi bhi hai!

Kiara: (frowning) Kyun? Kya hua?

Diya: (pouting) Arrey... ab Naina di, will move out of her apartment, hai naa?? Toh, hum unhe bahut miss karenge!

Kiara: (laughing) Aap tension mat lo, di! Hum sab milte rahenge!

(She then turns to gesture toward Bhoomika and Jyoti, who are just a few steps behind her.)

Kiara: (introducing) Meet them first... yeh hain Bhoomika chachi and Jyoti aunty! (pointing to the young women) Aur yeh hain Riddhi di, Meher di, aur Diya di-mumma ke neighbors aur besties!

Bhoomika: (smiling warmly) Wah! Accha laga tum sabse milke!

Jyoti: (nodding) Haan, Naina ne, tum teeno ke baare mein bataya tha... bahut taareef bhi karti hai, tum teeno ki!!  Aaj finally mil bhi liya!

(The girls exchange warm pleasantries before shifting focus back to their mission-finding the perfect lehenga for Kiara.)

..

Then

(The group spreads out, browsing through racks of intricately designed lehengas.

Every few seconds, someone holds up an option, only for Kiara to wrinkle her nose dramatically in disapproval.)

..

Then,

(Just as frustration starts to creep in, Kiara suddenly halts in her tracks, her eyes locking onto a mannequin at the center of the display.

Draped on it is a breathtaking lehenga-a deep violet and gold ensemble with intricate embroidery, a dramatically flared skirt, and a blend of modern elegance with traditional charm.)

Kiara: (eyes widening) OH MY GOD! Yeh toh ek dum fire lag raha hai!

Jyoti: (walking over, running her fingers over the fabric) Hmmm... yeh toh bilkul royal lag raha hai!

Meher: (grinning) This is THE one!

(Without wasting a second, they call for a store assistant, who carefully takes it down.

Kiara snatches it excitedly and rushes into the trial room. Moments later, she steps out-looking like an absolute diva.

The rich color complements her complexion perfectly, and the intricate designs make her look effortlessly regal.)

Riddhi: (whistling) Kiaaaaraaa! Yeh lehenga sirf tere liye hi bana hai!

Diya: (clapping) Swag level: 100!

(Kiara twirls in front of the mirror, admiring herself with a huge grin.

Bhoomika and Jyoti exchange knowing glances-this was the one. The perfect outfit had found its perfect wearer.)


Scene 3: Aryan And Niyati's Video Call

(At Purab's house, the atmosphere is lively. Bhoomika and Jyoti are busy sorting out items for the pooja and rituals, while Anuradha and Purab's mother supervise them.

Purab lounges on the couch, sipping chai, his laptop open as he scrolls through online wedding invitation designs.

Just then, his screen lights up-Aryan's name flashes across the display. Smiling, he answers the video call.)

..

(Aryan appears on the screen, relaxed in his Mumbai apartment, dressed in a casual black T-shirt, looking smug as ever. Niyati peeks into the frame, waving excitedly.)

Purab: (cheerfully) Aryan bhai! Ki haal hain?

Aryan: (laughing) Tu bata! Wahaan shaadi ki preparations ne sabko paagal kiya ya nahi, abhi tak?

Niyati: (teasingly) Aryan toh tab se sirf shaadi ki updates lene ka intezaar kar rahe hain!

Purab: (smirking) Accha? Matlab tum bhi FOMO suffer kar rahe ho?

Aryan: (grinning) Arrey obviously! Nunu ki shaadi ho rahi hai, aur main sirf virtual updates pe dependent hoon! Waise... aur kaun FOMO suffer kar raha hai?

Purab: Yahaan Tanvi didi ka bhi wohi haal hai!

Niyati: (understanding) Hmmm... Unke toh, own bhai ki hi shaadi hai ... unhe toh aur bhi bura lag raha hoga, hai na?

Aryan: Toh bata, preparations kaise chal rahi hain?

Purab: (leaning back) Sab full swing mein! Outfit shopping ho gayi, caterers finalize karna hai... Mehendi waali bhi book ho gayi hai. Shaadi ke do din pehle, Naina ke apartment mein hi chhota sa mehendi ka function rakha hai, sirf ladies ke liye!

(Aryan smiles, but his expression turns a little serious.)

Aryan: (gently) Waise, Nunu khush toh hai na?

(Purab pauses, his expression softening.)

Purab: (nodding) Haan, bhai. Woh khush hai. Uske chehre pe jo sukoon hai, woh bata raha hai ki yeh decision, uske liye sahi hai.

(There's a moment of silence. Aryan processes this, then lets out a soft chuckle.)

Aryan: (relieved) That's all I wanted to hear. Kyunki yahi sabse zaroori baat hai. Baaki sab toh sirf celebration hai... (smiles) accha... mere laayak kuch kaam hai toh bataao.

Purab: (grinning) Haan! Tere liye ek bahut hi important kaam hai.... shaadi ke din, tujhe ek super-hit performance deni hai!

Aryan: (rolling his eyes) Tum log mujhe sirf entertainment object hi samajhte ho kya?

Purab: (laughs) Arrey bhai, tu toh superstar hai! Tera naachna toh banta hai!

Aryan: (dramatic sigh) Theek hai, theek hai... Aryan Khanna naachega! (Laughs) Chal, ek blockbuster performance ready kar deta hoon... full filmy style!

(Bhoomika and Jyoti join the call just as Aryan makes his dramatic declaration.)

Niyati: (leaning closer to the screen) Hi Bhabhi, kaise ho?

Jyoti: All good!!! tum dono ko miss kar rahe hain!!!!

Niyati: hum bhi!!!! Waise, yeh bataaiye... wedding ka theme kya decide kiya hai?

Jyoti: (casually) White and gold.

(There's a pause. Niyati's face scrunches up in disapproval.)

Niyati: (making a face) Umm... seriously?

Jyoti: (frowning) Kya hua? White and gold classy hai... sophisticated lagta hai!

Niyati: (shaking her head) Classy, haan... par thoda dull bhi toh hai, bhabhi! Vikram aur Naina ki shaadi ho rahi hai, koi corporate event nahi!

Jyoti: (defensive) Arrey, Naina ne khud bola tha ki she wants a simple wedding!

Niyati: (exasperated) Simple ka matlab boring nahi hota!

(Aryan, who was casually scrolling through his phone, looks up with an amused smirk, rolling his eyes at Niyati's passionate argument.)

Niyati: (ignoring him) dekho.... Vikram is Punjabi, right? And you know how Punjabis are.... They love going all out!!! Shaadi unke liye ek festival hota hai.... and rahi baat Naina ki... toh she is a Gujarati!!!! Hum log bahut simple hote hain... agreed!!! ... but we also love colors!!!

Bhoomika: (thoughtfully) Hmm... What are you suggesting then? Niyati?

Niyati: (excitedly) Add some color to the décor! Naina kuch bolegi toh nahi, par agar shaadi thodi colorful hogi na, toh she will love it!

Aryan: (grinning) Matlab ab tum shaadi ka theme pura change karwa ke hi maanogi?

Niyati: (smirking) Of course! I mean, thoda color toh hona hi chahiye! (suggesting) Aap log ek kaam karo.... pastel tones le lo, jo classy bhi lagein aur colorful bhi ho!!! Peach, mint green, lavender... in sab colors ko mix karo!

Bhoomika: (nodding) Yeh idea accha hai! Pastel colors honge toh shaadi lively bhi lagegi aur elegant bhi!

Jyoti: (excited) Nice idea, Niyati! Accha hua humne tumse baat ki! Main soch rahi thi, décor mein thode Gujarati vibes bhi daal dete hain-colorful umbrellas, toran, rangoli!

Purab: (grinning) Okay, okay! Sabka verdict aa gaya-white and gold gaya bhaad mein! (chuckles) Pastel theme hoga, with a Gujarati-Punjabi mix! Happy?!

Niyati: (clapping) Very happy!

(Aryan sighs dramatically but smiles. The video call ends, and Purab quickly notes down the changes while Bhoomika and Jyoti excitedly start discussing the updated decor.

The excitement in the room grows as everyone envisions the new, colorful wedding theme.)


Scene 4: The Guest List & Wedding Outfit Discussion

(Vikram's room was dimly lit except for the soft glow of his desk lamp. He sat at his desk, flipping through patient reports while speaking on the phone with a fellow doctor.)

Vikram: (serious tone) Haan, Dr. Mehta, I agree. Agar infection itna aggressive hai, toh post-op antibiotics ka course extend karna padega... Hmm... Bilkul, ek aur scan karwaana zaroori hoga.... Theek hai, I'll check in with you tomorrow... okay??? bye!!

(He placed his phone down and turned, noticing Anuradha sitting patiently on the couch, her expression affectionate yet slightly impatient.)

Vikram: (smiling) Maa, aap kab aayi?

Anuradha: (shaking her head) Jab, tum phone pe busy thay, tabhi aa gayi thi. Socha, khud hi intezaar kar loon... doctor sahab ki important baat chal rahi hai.... main disturb kaise karun??

Vikram: (chuckling) Achha kiya!!!! Chaliye, Bataaiye, kya baat hai?

Anuradha: (sighing) Bas yeh batao, shaadi ki guest list finalize ho gayi?

Vikram: (leaning back in his chair) Almost ho gayi hai, ek baar cross- check karna hai!!!

Anuradha: Beta, thoda jaldi kar lo. Invitations bhi toh bhejne hain.

Vikram: (grinning) Maa, aap bhi na! Aaj kal online invitations ka zamaana hai. Cards print nahi ho rahe hain, sirf do- teen cards print karwa rahe hain.... ek mandir mein dene ke liye, ek shaayad court mein submit hoga... aur ek, bas ainvayi apni yaad ke liye!!!

Anuradha: (smiling at his practicality) oh, accha!!! Yeh toh badhiya hai!!!!

(She hesitated for a moment, then sighed as if debating something in her mind.)

Anuradha: Beta, ek baat aur thi...

Vikram: haan, maa!!! Bataaiye!!!

Anuradha: Main apne close friends ko toh invite kar rahi hoon.... but neighbours ko lekar thoda confused hoon. Itna aana-jaana toh hota nahi... Matlab, woh koi bahut close nahi hain, par... pata nahi, samajh nahi aa raha... Itne saal se hum saath hain....

(Vikram listened patiently, then leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, his eyes softening with understanding.)

Vikram: (gently) Maa, aap neighbours se utni baat-cheet nahi karti hongi, but trust me, they will be of utmost importance. Emergency time mein, aapke rishtedaar aur doston ke pahunchne se pehle, aapke neighbours hamesha sabse pehle aayenge. Jab kabhi bhi koi chhoti-badi zaroorat hoti hai, chaahe woh kisi beemaari ka waqt ho, ya kisi aur tension ka, sabse pehle darwaaza padosi ka khatkhataaya jaata hai.

(Anuradha listened intently, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.)

Vikram: (softly) Toh no doubt, unki jagah koi nahi le sakta. Aap unhe zaroor invite kijiye. Unka hona zaroori hai.

Anuradha: (smiling warmly) Theek kaha tumne, Vikram. Main unhe invite kar dungi. Unke contacts Tanvi ko bhej deti hoon, woh hamaari taraf se invitations bhej rahi hai na?

Vikram: (smiling) Haan, usne kaha ki mujhe bhi toh kuch kaam de do... toh usne ek broadcast list banaayi hai, WhatsApp pe... aap usko, apne friends ke contact details bhej dena!!

(Anuradha patted his hand affectionately, her earlier hesitation melting away. Then, as she stood up to leave, Vikram suddenly remembered something.)

Vikram: (curiously) Maa, aapne Naina ke shaadi ka joda le liya hai kya?? Woh toh hamaari taraf se hota hai, hai na?

Anuradha: (nodding) Haan beta, ladke waalon ki taraf se hi hota hai.... but abhi liya nahi hai!!! main kal jaaungi!!!

Vikram: (smiling) Toh phir, aap kuch accha sa le lena uske liye. Kuch jo, aaj kal trend mein chal raha ho.... waisa le lena!!!

(Anuradha smiled, clearly having already thought about it.)

Anuradha: Maine kal Naina se baat karne ka socha hai...... Main usse saath hi le jaane waali hoon shopping par... Woh apni pasand se le legi. Yeh idea theek hai na??

(Vikram's face lit up with approval.)

Vikram: (grinning) Haan... yeh idea perfect hai!

(Anuradha smiled at his response, patting his cheek affectionately before leaving the room, feeling content that everything was falling into place.)


Scene 5: The Disastrous Food Tasting

At Vikram's house, in the afternoon:

(The dining table is overflowing -plates upon plates of food samples from different catering companies.

Dishes ranging from aromatic biryanis to creamy paneer gravies, soft rotis, and an array of colorful desserts cover every inch of the table.

Kiaan, Kiara, Paarth, and Abhir sit around, spoons in hand, ready to begin the ultimate food-tasting mission.)

Paarth: (eyeing the food suspiciously) Ek second... yeh sab pakka vegetarian hai na?

Kiaan: (nodding) Haan bhai, Papa ne bola hai ki shaadi mein non-veg nahi hoga. Strictly shuddh shaakahari bhojan!

Kiara: (raising an eyebrow) pyaar insaan ko badal deta hai.... yeh maine, ab jaake dekha hai!! Jab se Mumma aur Papa waapas saath aaye hain, tab se Papa bhi dheere-dheere vegetarian bante jaa rahe hain!

Abhir: (grinning) Wait, really?

Kiara: (nodding dramatically) Sach mein! Papa jab Mumma ke saath hote hain na, tab woh non-veg khaate hi nahi hain. Pehle toh chicken biryani ka naam sunke hi, unka mood fresh ho jaata tha, aur ab paneer butter masala ke saath khush hain!

Abhir: (laughing) I think that's actually kinda cute!

Paarth: (grinning) Matlab, woh apni partner ki feelings ki care karne lage hain... It's good!!

Kiara: (pointing a finger) Paarth... aap mujhse, yeh sab expect mat karna!!! Main apni chicken biryani aur butter chicken nahi chhodne waali!!!

(Paarth tilted his head back and let out a chuckle and soon, everyone joined in.)

Then the real mission began!!

(Each of them took a spoonful of different dishes, their expressions changing with every bite.

Kiaan took a bite of the veg hakka noodles)

Kiaan: (making a face) Yeh kya hai?! Itna bland?! Matlab, shaadi ke khaane mein taste bhi nahi hoga kya?!

Kiara: (laughing) Yeh toh, ek dum hospital ka khaana jaise lag raha hai!

(Abhir takes a bite of a butter naan and dips it into dal makhani, his expression instantly turning sour.)

Abhir: Aur yeh dekho, yeh toh itna watery hai ki agar roti daal do, toh swim karne lagegi!

Kiara: haan!!! samajh nahi aa raha hai, ki daal banaayi hai... ya paani mein kuch masale mix karke de diye hain!!!!

(Kiara and Abhir burst out laughing and high-five each other.)

Paarth took a bite of the 'Very Red' looking oaneer tikka

Paarth: (coughing after a bite) Aur yeh wala? Yeh toh itna teekha hai, ki lagta hai caterer humse badla le raha hai, itne kharaab comments karne ke liye!!!!

Kiaan: (raising an eyebrow) waise, who suggested these catering companies?

Kiara: Instagram reels pe dhoond ke choose kiya hain!!!

Paarth: (shaking his head) maybe you guys should stick to the good old- halwaai!!!

(They laugh and continued tasting. They made dramatic and exaggerated reactions to each dish-some too oily, some too dry, and some so spicy that they practically grab their water bottles at the same time.

Finally, after a long session of tasting and reviewing, they sit back, stuffed, looking exhausted.)

Anuradha: (walking in, amused) Toh, batao, ab dinner mein kya khana hai? main toh apne liye, khichdi banwaa rahi hoon!!!! tum dono ko agar kuch order karna hai toh....

Kiaan & Kiara: (simultaneously, urgently) hum bhi khichdi hi khaa lenge, dadi!!! ab aur baahar ka khaana, nahi khaaya jaayega!!!

(The entire room bursts into laughter as Anuradha shakes her head, muttering about how dramatic these kids are.

Despite the hilarious disaster of a food tasting, the excitement for the upcoming wedding lingers in the air, making the moment feel warm and special.)

Scene 6: Mehendi Mishap & A Romantic Surprise

(Naina's apartment was buzzing with excitement as the mehendi ceremony was in full swing.

The scent of fresh henna filled the air, and laughter echoed in the living room, where the women sat in a semi-circle, their hands adorned with intricate designs.

Jyoti and Meher were sitting comfortably, getting their mehendi done, while Diya and Riddhi were busy arranging drinks for the ladies.

It was a scene of perfect wedding chaos-vibrant, lively, and utterly entertaining.)

..

(At the dining table, however, things were not going as smoothly. Kiara stood there, her hands covered in wet mehendi, her phone placed in front of her as she desperately tried to operate it with the edge of her fingers.)

Kiara: (muttering) Ugh! Stupid touch screen... work, damn it!

(Kiaan, sitting beside her, was trying to feed her a bite of samosa, but she wasn't cooperating at all.)

Kiaan: (frustrated) Kiru, ruk jaao thodi der ke liye! Khaana bhi nahi kha rahi ho... phone bhi sambhal rahi ho, aur tumhaara dupatta bhi baar- baar gir raha hai!

(Kiara didn't even look at him as she continued her attempt at messaging the band they had finalized.

The moment she adjusted her phone, her dupatta slipped off her shoulder again.)

Kiara: (huffing) Uff! Yeh dupatta bhi naa!

(Annoyed, Kiaan finally had enough. He grabbed her dupatta and pulled it off completely, tossing it onto a chair.

Kiaan: Bas, ab nahi girega! Pehle khana khaao, phone baad mein bhi chal sakta hai!

(Kiara gasped, realizing that in the process, some of her mehendi had smudged.)

Kiara: (dramatic) Oh no! My mehendi!!!

(Kiara glared at kiaan who gave her a cute apologetic expression.

The room erupted into laughter as the women teased her.)

Jyoti: (grinning) Arrey Kiara.... beta, thoda shaant ho jaao, warna poori mehendi kharaab ho jaayegi!

Diya: (laughing) Sab kuch ek saath karne ki, kya zaroorat hai? Pehle mehendi sookhne do, phir baaki sab karna!

(Before Kiara could retort, a new distraction arrived.

Naina, the bride herself, stepped out of her room. But something about her was unusual-her hands were completely covered with bags which were secured with brown tape.)

..

(A collective gasp spread across the room as everyone turned toward her in confusion.)

Kiara: (shocked) Mumma, yeh kya?? Aapne mehendi cover kyun kar rakhi hai? Hum aapki mehendi kaise dekhenge?!

(Naina smiled mischievously, her eyes twinkling.)

Naina: (teasingly) Tum sab kal dekh lena!

Kiara: (pouting) Kyun??

(Naina blushed slightly, lowering her gaze.)

Naina: Because I want your Papa to see it first... uske baad hi kissi aur ko dikhaungi!!!

(There was a collective "Awww" and "Oooooh" from everyone in the room.)

Meher: (giggling) Naina di.... How romantic!!!!

Diya: Uff, aaj kal toh filmon mein bhi, aisa nahi hota!!!! You're too cute!!!

(Naina blushed deeper, smiling shyly as the teasing continued. Kiara folded her arms, pretending to be annoyed.)

Kiara: (mock offended) Hmph! We don't like being sidelined, Mumma!!! (smiles) But okay... aapko maaf kiya.... It is your wedding after all!!!.... and yes... Yeh kaafi romantic hai, by the way!

(Naina laughed, shaking her head, and walked around the room, admiring everyone's mehendi.

Naina: (admiring Riddhi's mehendi) Wah, kitna sundar design hai!!! and Riddhi... mehendi ka color bhi kaafi gehra ho gaya hai!!!!

Riddhi: (giggles) yeh toh sirf Rohan ka hi kamaal hai!!!

(Naina smiled at her and continued walking around.

It was then, that her eyes landed on Bhoomika, and she frowned.)

Naina: (concerned) Bhoomika, tumhaare haath toh khaali hain!! Mehendi nahi lagwa rahi kya?

(Bhoomika smiled, shaking her head.)

Bhoomika: Agar mehendi lagwa lungi toh Prakhar ko kaun dekhega?

(Naina glanced around the crowded room.)

Naina: Arrey, yahaan itne saare log hain... Kiaan bhi toh hai! Go, get your mehendi done!

(Bhoomika hesitated, but at everyone's insistence, she finally sat opposite a mehendi artist who had just gotten free. As soon as the artist picked up the cone and was about to start applying the design-

A little voice interrupted.)

Prakhar: (running into the room) Mummaaaa! Potty aawi hai!!!

(There was a moment of stunned silence. And then-

The entire room burst into laughter.

Even Naina doubled over laughing as Bhoomika groaned at her situation and rushed away with her son towards the washroom.

The mehendi mishap had left everyone in splits, and in that moment, with all the teasing, laughter, and warmth, it was clear.... this wasn't just a wedding celebration; it was a home filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.)
