Chapter: The Wedding Begins
At Anushka and Abhinav's Side...
Anushka looked at Abhinav and asked teasingly,
"So you were jealous?"
Abhinav pulled her closer and replied,
"No, I wasn't jealous."
Then he looked into her eyes and added,
"Because what is mine is only mine. I can't tolerate anyone looking at you that way."
Anushka smiled and hugged him.
"I am only yours, Nav."
Abhinav immediately froze.
"What did you just call me?"
Anushka tried to hide her smile.
"What?"
"No, no... after that."
Anushka pretended not to understand.
Abhinav held her hand.
"Please, baby. Say it again."
Anushka laughed softly.
"Nav."
A huge smile appeared on Abhinav's face.
"One more time."
"Nav."
Abhinav hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you for giving me that name."
"I love you, Nushka."
Anushka smiled.
"I love you too."

Slowly, time passed.
A whole month went by peacefully.
There were no attacks, no problems, and no signs of Jack Jones.
All the couples grew closer to each other.
Everyone now knew about Aksh and Kriti's relationship.
Everyone also knew about Shivansh and Adya.
But Rudra and Kaashvi's growing bond remained a secret.
The same was true for Aditya and Shivangi.
And finally...
The most awaited day arrived.
Abhinav and Anushka's Wedding Day
The entire venue looked magical.
Beautiful flowers decorated every corner.
Lights sparkled everywhere.
Guests from all the families had arrived.

At the Girls' Side...
Anushka sat in front of the mirror in her bridal attire.
She looked absolutely stunning.
Adya smiled proudly.
"Anu, you look so beautiful."
Ridhima nodded.
"Beautiful? She looks breathtaking."
Kaashvi grinned.
"Our bride is glowing today."
Anushka blushed while looking at her reflection.

At the Boys' Side...
Abhinav stood ready in his groom's outfit.
Aarav smirked.
"So, ready, groom?"
Abhinav smiled.
"More than ready."
Rudra laughed.
"Then let's go and bring our bride."
Everyone moved toward the entrance.
---
At the Entrance...
Kaashvi suddenly stepped in front of them.
"No entry, Jijus."
Rudra raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean, Miss Attitude?"
Kaashvi folded her arms.
"I mean exactly what I said, Mr. Monkey."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Abhinav shook his head.
"Okay, tell us your demand."
Kaashvi smiled mischievously.
"Ten lakh rupees."
"What?" Rudra shouted.
"You think we'll give you ten lakhs?"
Kaashvi shrugged.
"Then you won't get my sister."
Rudra smirked.
"We'll just kidnap the bride."
Kaashvi laughed.
"Oh really? You know very well you can't even touch her."
Everyone started laughing again.
Abhinav finally took out the money envelope.
"Fine. Take it."
Kaashvi happily accepted it.
"Now you may enter."
---
As everyone entered the wedding hall, Shivansh's eyes searched only for one person.
His princess.
His bachha.
His Adya.
Aarav noticed and whispered,
"Looking for someone, bro?"
Shivansh gave him a cold look.
Aarav immediately laughed.
"I'll take that as a yes."
---
After some time, all the rituals were ready.
The priest looked toward the families and said,
"Please bring the bride."
The entire hall became silent.
Everyone turned toward the grand staircase.
Waiting for Anushka's arrival...
