Let's get to the story.

They reached the mansion, Sanskar helped her get down, he extended his hand to her she held it, she muttered a small 'thank you', they walked to the entrance, their stood Sujataji and the family for the welcome, Sujataji held Puja thaali and Uttara had a kalash of rice. She did their aarti, then Uttara kept the kalash, "beta iss kalash ko apne pair se gira kar apne shubh kadam apne naye ghar mein rakho" said Sujata ji, 'apne ghar' made her smile wholeheartedly, she nodded pushed the kalash slowly making it fall and the rice spread, everyone clapped making her giggle softly, Sanskar hearing her giggle for the first time, his heart warmed with the new music which will be his favourite. Then Gopi kaki kept a big thalli which had kumkum ka pani, "beta iss kumkum ke pani mein apne pair dalke, phir iss white kapde mein chalna hai apne pairo ke nishan chudke" explained Sujataji, "aunty white kapde mein kyun chalna hai, phir dhone mein problem nahi hogi" asked Vicky, Ram smacked his head, "par tumhe kisne bola hum isse dhone wale hai, yeh toh hum sambal kar rakhenge, meri beti ke pehle kadam iss ghar mein", listening him everyone smiled, Swara had tears welled up seeing the immense love, she blinked away her tears and did as said again everyone clapped, Sanskar noticed her every action, he walked alongside her making sure that she don't stumble. They got seated for the ring finding ritual, both were seated opposite to eachother and a big vessel filled with milk and rose petals was placed in the middle. "Wow this is my favourite rasam, dekhna bestie hi jeetegi" said Uttara grinning, "kyu bestie hi jeetegi, mera dost Mera sher jeetega kyu bhai" said Vicky giving a competitive look to Uttara making her roll her eyes, "hold on kids let's start the game" said Ram, Sujata dropped the ring and Sanskar and Swara put their hand to search the ring. Swara was playing with full spirits but Sanskar was not much involved in the game, firstly he was hell tried and want to sleep, he wanted all the rituals to end soon so he could go to the room and finally get to talk to her alone. His hand touched the ring, he held it to show but saw her pouting sadly on not finding the ring, so he left it near her hand not wanting her to know he did it deliberately. Swara as she got the ring, showed it enthusiastically to everyone making them cheer her loudly. "Kya hua apke sher ko Vicky bhai, Mera sher hi jeetega" Uttara said mimicking him, "princess pati kitna bhi bada sher ho uski sawari toh sherawali mata hi karti hai" said Ram making Vicky hoot loudly, Sujata nudged him embarassed, others laughed. "Choti Shona ko uske kamre mein chud do" said Sujata, she nodded both walked to the room, "bestie come here" she dragged after entering the room to the bed, "kya kar rahi ho bestie, why are you dragging me" said Swara, " arrey listen you sit here and wait (she put the pallu covering her face), abhi tumhe yeh pallu hatana nahi hai till bhai come and removes it ok and it's ritual so no cheating ok" said Uttara giving a teasing look, swara huffed nodded, "bye all the best enjoy" said and went out making Swara roll her eyes. As Uttara came out she found Sanskar walking to the room, she immediately stop him entering the room, he raised his eyebrow, she extended her hand, "my gift", "what", "what bhai comeon you have to pay me to enter the room", Sanskar was like 'not again', sighing he kept his credit card, "buy anything you want" said making her grin loudly, she jumped on him and kissed his cheek, " thank you Bhai", "bye bhai g'night" she ran, he chuckled and entered the room to find Swara sitting in the position Uttara left her. He walked to the bed, stood near the bed, clearing his throat, he called her name "Swara" listening her name from his mouth for the first time give her jitters even he felt her name sweet like honey. "Swara before we start to know eachother I want to clear few things about me, I want to be truthful and honest to you and this marriage so I'll tell you honestly I wasn't really ready for the wedding but my family specially mom kinda of emotionally blackmailed me so I had to given in and meri shaadi na karne ki wajah bilkul nahi hai ki there's someone else in my life, No, it's just that I lost trust on relationship and love, my past has left a bad remark on me and I'll share you about it once I'm comfortable as now your my wife I'll be loyal and honest, respect you and support you but till then can we just act like a couple infront of the family" as he ended to see her reaction, he was preparing himself to say all this to her from a long time, finally he felt like a burden put off his shoulder, he waited but didn't get any response so he turned to go. Swara heard everything, she had an idea about the past thing, Uttara once said her that he agreed to the marriage because of Sujataji and he had a bitter past which only he can tell her and now listening it from him, a certain respect for him grew in her, she'll too be loyal, honest, support him and will always respect him. "Sunne" came a voice of Swara stopping him, he turned to her, she still had pallu covering her face, "idher aaye" he stood still, "sunne main aap hi ko keh rahi ho idher aaye", he moved forward hesitatedly, "pehle isse hataye" pointing the pallu, he took it out slowly revealing her face, he for the very first time saw her face so closely, she looks so angelic, her face had innocence, her eyes twinkle like stars. She waved her hand infront of him breaking his trance, he moved back a lil, "haaye aapne or do min late kiya hota toh main suffocation se behosh hojati" fanning her hand on her face, took a breath of relief, he looked at her amazed, "haan toh aap kya keh rahe the, aapka monologue kafi accha tha so now it's my turn right", he was like 'what monologue seriously I had difficult time to prepare for it she just named it monologue'. "So let's start from first, point to point haan, pehla point tha that you weren't interested to get married toh aapko kya lagta hai main ek pair pe dandiya kar rahi thi ohh bro I'm just 22 meri age ki ladkiyon ka dur dur tak sapna nahi rehta shaadi ka", "what the hell you call me Bro" he shouted, she bite her tongue, " ok fine sorry not bro ho jata hai yaar galti itna kaun chillata hai ok so 1st point clear mere ko bhi interest nahi tha mere gharwalon ne bhi mujhpe emotional atyachar kiya hai, so 2nd point about your bad past, mujhe aapke past se koi lena dena nahi hai as I'm your present and future (his breathe stuck with her statement 'I'm your present and future', he prayed for it) toh aapke past ka mujhe aachar nahi dalna so I have no issues jab marzi tab bolo", he just kept listening her she's hell of crazy girl and will turn his life upside down or you can say she'll turn his life to 360°. "Or third or last point kya tha, haan that we have to act like a couple that we can't sorry" he was shocked hearing it, "we can't as we are already a couple shayad aapko kisi ne nahi bataya but married logo ko couple hi bolte hai so act karne ki zarurat nahi hai", as she ended he relaxed and also mentally sighed 'god this girl on the very first day will turn be crazy'. "Or rahi baat loyalty, honesty, respect and support ki I promise you it will be even from my end too and Swara Gadodia never breaks promises" she said proudly making him smile a lil , "maheshwari" he said, "huh" she said confused, "you are Swara Maheshwari", "itna sab bola usmein yahin sunna" she muttered to herself, which was heard by him, he didn't say anything. "Haan wahi wahi ab please aap hatye side mujhe change karna ek toh itna bhari lehenga upar se aapki question answer round ke chakar mein mere ko or nend aarahi hai" she said huffing, he just moved aside, she got down of the bed saw a box in his hand. "arrey main toh bhul hi gayi meri muh dikhai ka tohfa, or aap hi yaad se pehle gift nahi de sakte aate hai kbc khelna hai ab chale jaldi se mera gift de" said grinning extended her palm, he looked perplexed just now she behaved like a mature person even crazy but here's she standing like a kid demanding for gift. In just a single meet he saw different shades of his wife which left him amazed. He placed the gift, she grinning opened it excited like a child, she saw the beautiful bracelet,
