It was the wedding evening and everyone was busy in the preparations. "I am so sorry di...I don't have any other choice", said Amaya as she caressed unconscious Rachita and softly hid her under the bed. Amaya quickly picked up the dress and went into her sister's room. Amaya was crying continuously recalling all her favourite memories with her sisters, her mom, her dad and Mantu.
Amaya slipped on the floor as she recalled Mantu and cried. She was broken. But she has to be strong. Strong enough to handle this big situation. Amaya stood up and sat on the stool in front of the mirror. She did her makeup, wore the dress, wore all the jewellery. "I am sorry dad, I hope you will help mom to bear this pain. You know I'm doing this for us, for you, for... for di." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Sneha, "Rachu, are you ready beta?" Amaya covered her face with a veil and opened the door. Sumitra was with Sneha. She smirked as she diverted Sneha to take some shagun and made sure that it was Amaya under the veil.
Amaya gave her a stern look as Sumitra said, "You were flying high na, now I'll cut your wings." Sneha came and caressed her daughter, due to heels she almost attained the height that Rachita had. Tears rushed in Amaya's eyes as they took her downstairs and made her sit near the groom. Weirdly his face too was covered with sehra, completely. Pandit ji started the mantras as tears started falling from her eyes. She was continuously seeing Mantu in front of her eyes, and their good times.
Panditji asked them to pravah a flower in the fire together. He placed his hand in front and Amaya awkwardly placed her hand on his. She felt an instant warmth. A warmth that only Mantu's hand gave. The hardness of his hand was similar to Mant's too. But she scratched that thought out of her mind as she thought this is happening because she is thinking too much about him. Panditji asked Sneha to knot the dupatta of the bride to the dupatta of the groom and complete the process of kanyadan. Sneha nodded as she took a step ahead and tied the knot. Tears flowed from her eyes as she said, "Please take care of her Rama. She is my life." He nodded.
Panditji asked them to get up and take 7 holy rounds of fire as he chanted the mantra. The groom got up and so did Amaya. He held her hand firmly and started walking. Amaya was shocked, but hesitantly gave in. But her heart wasn't. She was envisioning Mantu everywhere. "I am sorry Mantu. I don't even know I'll ever get the courage to face you or not", thought Amaya as she came in front of him and completed the circles. They sat again and Panditji gave him the Mangalsutra. He make her wear that and so did the sindoor. Amaya breathed heavily. She lost. She lost everything. Panditji announced ,"Vivah sampan hua."
And everyone clapped in unison. Amaya closed her eyes tightly as she tried controlling her tears. She brushed them quickly as they stood up and started taking blessings from everyone in the family. Rudra and Jazz asked the guests to proceed towards the dinner hall and there was no one expect the family's of Chaubeyji and Gupta. Though Sneha questioned and tried stopping them but they didn't stopp. The groom removed his veil and it was none other than Mantu.
