The day finally ended with lots of happiness. Ruhanika and Abheer could not sleep coz of the physical distance between them, also coz of the anticipation of hopeful tomorrow. Tomorrow would be finally the day when their Rishtaa is going to be fixed according to the Traditions. 
The next day came soon. Both of Rathore's and Rajput's homes were bustling with people. I know though it is just shagun exchange, there has to be some other things to be done according to Rathore's rituals.
By 10.30, all Rathores were ready in the living hall waiting for Abheer to come downstairs as it is almost time when they will leave for Rajput's Mansion.
They heard footsteps and all their head turned towards stairs, to see Abheer coming down in all his glory.


                            

                                
                            
                              
                                  
                              
                              
                                
                                  
                                  
                                
                              
                             
                            
                            
                          
                          
The ladies came towards him smiling as he climbed down the last stair. Meera kissed his forehead, 
"Mera baccha! Kitne achhe dikh rahe hai aap Abheer!" She said caressing his cheeks making him smile at her. She moved aside when Gayatri Devi came with red chillies and salt in her hands. She rotated her hands around him 7 times to ward off evil eyes off him while chanting something. She then moved outside first to throw whatever in her hands on burning coal.
(My baby! How handsome you are looking!)
Others smiled looking at the scene in front of their eyes. Finally it's going to be first marriage in the next generation!
Abheer greeted everyone as he came towards all of them.
"Meera, check once again if you have taken all things you need for shagun! Make sure nothing should be missed." Vikram said.
"Ji, Vikram ji. Maasa has made sure everything is done more than 10 times. And I have checked all things too. You don't worry." He nodded. Gayatri who entered just when Meera was talking questioned.
"What is done more than 10 times?" 
"Nothing maasa. I was telling Vikram ji that all things to be given from our side are prepared and that you've also checked it." Meera answered making her nod.
"Should we leave then?" Adhiraj asked and all moved outside the mansion.
Adhiraj and Gayatri were in one car while Vikram, Vikrant, Meera and Niharika took other. Younger clan decided to ditch their own car and joined Abheer in his. Yep, they all were Rolls Royce! They were driving in the middle of 4 guard cars.
Ayaan insisted on driving so Abheer sat on the passenger seat and the other 4 were in the back seat.
"So bhaisa what are you feeling right now? Finally your wedding rituals are going to start today!" Aishu asked all excited.
"Yes. I want to know too. Is that all giddy- giddy, butterfly wala feeling?" Adu asked making Aishu giggle at her question.
Abheer just smiled at them.
"Are you nervous Abheer?" Reyan asked before Abheer could answer. 
He smiled knowing his friend know him too well.
