It was their wedding day. Finally! They had been very eagerly waiting for this day. All the preparations had been almost done. The wedding was going to held in the society Hall, near Mr Prakash's Appartment.
Teju was having wedding jitters. Meanwhile Karan was the happiest man alive on the planet. Why not when he was going to marry the love of his life? He couldn't wait for the moment when he would see her in her wedding attire, when they would take pheras, when he will put vermillion on her forehead claiming her his.
Karan and his side of family and relatives had already arrived Delhi. They were staying in one of the luxurious hotels.
Now Karan was standing in front of the mirror cladded in a white sherwani. He wore the pagri and shoes. He was looking very handsome.
He was checking himself in mirror when his mother entered. Her eyes teared up looking at her son.
"Kitna sona lag raha hai mera puttar."
She took some kajal from her eyes and put it behind his ears to keep evil eyes off him.
"kal tak toh tu toys leke mere age piche ghumta rehta tha. Aur aj Mera beta shadi karne ja Raha hai. Kaise jaldi jaldi bada ho gaya hai mera beta." His mother said.
She couldn't control her tears. Karan pulled her in a hug.
When they broke the hug Karan wiped her tears. His mother looked at him. She could read how happy he was. She caressed his cheek.
"Chal beta. Abhi hum nikal jaayenge."
Karan along with all the baratis went to the wedding venue dancing all the way to there.
Karan was welcomed by his mother in law. She did some rituals then let the baratis enter.

Karan's eyes moistened as he saw her walking down with her father. Oh. How much he had been waiting for this moment.
Teju's eyes mirrored the same emotions. Marrying your love is undoubtedly an inexplicable moment.
Teju was wearing a red heavy embroidered lahenga. The makeup highlighted her Beauty. She was looking like a goddess.
She was made to stand beside Karan. Both looked at each other. Karan whispered, "you are looking beautiful" slowly. It was very low whisper only for Teju to hear. Red hue appeared on Teju's cheeks.
It was time for barmala exchange. It was a fun event. Karan had to bow in the end when she almost gave up.
Then both were made to sit next to each other. The priest started chanting mantras. Teju's father did her kanyadaan.
Kiyaansh did their gathbandhan. They were asked to stand up when the time for saat pheras came. Teju tripped and was going to fall but Karan held her securely. Everyone cheered at that moment. Teju blushed pulling away from him.
They took seven rounds around the fire promising each other to be with each other in every up and down, to trust each other, to take care of each other, to cherish and protect each other, to nourish their relationship with love and patience.
After the pheras they again sat down. Karan took the mangalsutra from the thali, tieing it around her neck. Next he took a pinch of vermillion filling her hairline with it sealing their bond to eternity.
Teju closed eyes her when he put vermillion on her forehead. A little vermillion fell on her nose which is believed to be auspicious.
"Vivaah sampanna hua."
The priest announced them as husband and wife. Then they took blessings from the elders. Kiyaansh came running to them. Karan took him in his arms.
"Mumma you looking very pretty." Kiyaansh complemented in aww.
"Thanks baccha." Teju kissed his cheeks.
"What about daddy?"
"You look pretty too." Kiyaansh said.
Everyone burst into laughter hearing him.
"Handsome. We say handsome for men." Karan educated him. "And my champ is looking handsome too." Karan kissed his other cheek.
***
Teju cried her heart out during vidai. She couldn't stop crying at that time. She hugged her crying mother and father, then her crying sister before her father made her sit in the car.
"Take care of my daughter." He said to karan holding his hand. Karan put his other hand above their hands.
"Don't worry papa. I promise to always keep her happy." Karan assured Teju's father.
Then the car drove away towards their destination.
When they reached the Kundrra Mansion, Karan's mom welcomed the newly wedded couple by doing arti. Then Teju was asked the kick the pot filled with rice and Teju did as told. Teju dipped her foot in the red water and entered inside leaving her red footprints behind with Karan walking alongside.
Teju and Karan settled on the couch while the other family members gathered around them talking, joking and teasing the couple.
"You guys must be tired. Poonam, take Tejasswi to your room and let her rest. After an hour we'll do the post wedding rituals that should be done today itself." Karan's mom said to Poonam.
Poonam nodded at her mother. She made Teju stand up then took Teju to her room.
"As of now you rest here, in my room. Sunny ke room me to Puri zindagi guzaar ni hai." She tears Teju.
Teju smiled at her. Poonam is really very sweet. Infact the whole family is sweet.
"Chalo main Jake baccho ko dekhti hu." Saying that she left the room after closing the door behind her. Teju sat on the bed resting her head on the headrest of the bed. She closed her eyes in exhaustion.
***
An hour later Teju was escorted down for the rituals. Teju was still in her wedding outfit, but removed the heavy jwelleries.
Teju was made to sit opposite to karan with a large bowl between them.
"Now time for games and fun." Meenu announced as she put a ring in the bowl full of milk and rose petals garnished on the milk.
"Three round hoga, jo maximum times ring dhundega wahi winner hoga. Come on guys, let's start."
Teju and Karan dipped their hands into the bowl searching for the ring. Teju was the first to find the ring. She pulled her hand out showing the ring.
"Got it."
Karan looked at Teju as she sent a victorious smile in his way. While the others hooted for Teju.
"Come on Bhai, apna jalwa dikhao.Apka last chance hai." Madhu cheered for his brother.
They again dipped their hands into the milk.Teju found the ring and was about to pull her hand out but was stopped by Karan.He held her hand inside the water.Teju looked at him with a questioning gaze.But he pretended to be innocent.
He started rubbing his thumb on her knuckles. Teju looked at him warning him through her eyes to stop doing whatever he was diing. But he didn't stop and successfully snatched the ring from her clutches.
"Got it."
Teju looked at him with accusing eyes as she mouthed 'cheater' to him. Karan just smirked at her.
It was third and final round. They started looking for the ring. This time Karan found the ring but he held Teju's palm then handed her the ring making up for the last time.
Teju was declared as winner for finding the ring twice. After a light chit chatting session everyone had dinner.
Teju was taken to Karan's room.
"It's your room from now on. Kiyaansh will be sleeping with mom and dad. Don't worry about him and have a great night."
Poonam left the room wishing her good luck. Teju looked around the room. It was large, cosy and classic.
The room was beautifully decorated with flowers for their wedding night along with the bed.
Teju sat on the bed with the veil hiding her beautiful face as she waited for Karan.
After almost fifteen minutes, she heard the door clicked opened then closed. She could hear his footsteps coming closer. She suddenly started feeling nervous. Why was she nervous? It's not gonna be their first time.
Karan took a seat next to her then slowly removed the veil revealing her beautiful face.
For the second time on the same day his heart skipped a beat. She was looking so breathtakingly beautiful even with less make up and without jwelleries sitting on his bed in his room as his bride.
Teju kept her gaze low, not meeting Karan's eyes. Karan held her chin and made her look at him.
"Mrs Tejaswi Karan Kundrra, my vocabularies ain't enough to describe how beautiful you are looking as bride, as my bride."
Teju's checks turned red.
"You too."
"What beautiful?"
Teju bite her tongue.
"No I mean handsome. You are looking very handsome Mr Karan Kundrra."
Both looked at each other with content smiles playing on their lips.
Teju got distracted due to her bridal nose ring. Her hands tying to unhook the ring. Karan saw her struggling so he couldn't stop his hands they they moved on their own. He successfully removed the ring. But his right hand stayed there resting on her cheek, his thumb started rubbing her cheeks slowly.
Teju could feel the butterflies in her stomach when her gaze met his intense ones.
Karan slowly decreased the distance between their lips taking them for a long and passionate kiss. He had been waiting to kiss her lips since the moment his eyes fell on her lips adorned with red lipstick.
Breaking the kiss they looked at each other with heavy breathes, chest heaving up and down.
Karan kissed on her cheeks, his lips stayed there, as his hands worked on removing her earrings, the only jwellery left on her body.
His lips reached her jaws as he started kissing her jaws. Teju's hands locked around his neck. Her fingers waving his hairs as his lips works on her jaw to her neck. He lips found her sweet spot where he sucked, licked and then bite making her moan loudly.
In no time, their clothes discarded from their body. Teju lied on the bed naked, while Karan hovered over her kissing on her cleavage while his fingers busy playing with her lower lips.
After the much needed forplay Karan pushed his member inside her. When she was comfortable he started moving in and out . Teju held his shoulder as the pleasure shots up high drowing her in the world of euphoria.
Moans and groans resonated in the room as they both made love to each other gently, tenderly and passionately. They worshipped each other the whole night.
The End.
