Saanvi POV:

He took me to the nearest temple, and I was still in his clothes. Never in my life had I expected to marry like this, but I was happy in any way it happened, as long as it was with him. He went somewhere to get some things.

After a while, he came back with a saree, saying, "Vie, I know this is not the kind of marriage you wished for, but I promise I will give you the wedding you deserve later. But for now, will this be okay?" I smiled, nodding.

I took the saree and went to the common ladies' washroom to tie it. The saree was beautiful; I wondered how he arranged this within this short amount of time. But then again, he is Vihaan Singhania, isn't he? I sighed as there was no makeup either. I looked like a mess.

I went out to find him standing there in his traditionals. I must say he looked deadly hot. How come he is looking this good while I look like a mess? Immediately, my face dulled.

He came cupping my cheek, asking, "Vie, what happened? If any of this is troubling you, just say the word, and I will wait for you not only for 5 months but 50 years as well." I blushed hard. How does he manage to make me blush this much? I shook my head, saying, "No, Aan, it's just... I look like a mess."

He lifted my chin up, saying, "Hey, hey, look at me." I looked into his eyes as he said, "You're so beautiful even in this mess. Do you know why?" I asked, "Huh?" He said, "Because you are my mess, Vie. I will love you the same no matter how you are." I hugged him tightly, thinking, 'How did I become this lucky suddenly?' He intertwined his hand with mine and took us inside.

The priest was there, and to my surprise, no one else was in the temple except the priest and, wait, Rishi? I looked at Aan, confused. He nodded, smiling, and said, "I know, Vie, you will feel sad if he is not included. If he is your first kid, then he is mine as well, right?" Tears welled up in my eyes, and I ran to Rishi, hugging him.

He hugged me back, laughing, and said, "I am so happy for you, Di. And don't worry, you made the right decision. I know you probably overthought about this, but I am here with you in all steps." I nodded, hugging him, and said, "Thank you."

He nodded, and I ruffled his hair, asking, "So how come nobody is here?" He smirked, saying, "Well, ask your husband. He made sure nobody comes in here for the next one hour." I shook my head at his actions, Rishi said, "Go, I will be right here." I nodded, going back to Aan.

He smiled at me, and I asked, "Aan, then what about anyone from your side?" He smiled, cupped my cheek, and said, "Vie, of course I love my family. I want them to be a part of this so much. But we will do that on the date fixed for our marriage, okay?" I nodded, asking, "Can I at least tell Vaishu about this?" He said, "Trust me, Jaan, I want the whole world to know that you belong to me, but not like this, okay? But if you want to, then go ahead." I smiled, nodding.

The priest did some chantings and gave Aan the mangalsutra. He turned to me with tears in his eyes, and my eyes welled up too. He tied the three knots, indicating that I am bound to him for a lifetime.

He kissed my forehead and said, "I lobe you, Mrs. Singhania." I smiled, saying, "I lobe you too, Mr. Singhania."
*And I lobe you both my favourite couple*

Later, he took the sindoor and applied it on my forehead, and some of it fell on my nose. Rishi smiled, saying, "Di, you're lucky." I nodded, feeling content. Aan rubbed that with his finger, asking, "Why is that, Rishi?" He said, "Jijaji, it is said that if the sindoor falls on the bride's nose while the groom is applying it, he will love and take care of her for a lifetime."

He looked at me and said, "Not only for this lifetime, Vie, but no matter how many lifetimes I have, I always want you beside me, to love you and be loved by you." I hugged him, and just like that, I am married. I am Mrs. Singhania now.
