An Innocent Crush ✓

74 | Sonu Weds Monu!

Kiara gazed at her reflection in the mirror, wearing a beautiful deep red lehenga beautifully embroidered. Her makeup struck a balance between boldness and elegance.

She was adorned with many pieces of jewelry, including a maang tikka on her forehead, a heavy necklace, earrings, bangles, and wrist jewelry. Her hands and feet were adorned with intricate mehndi designs.

Her hairstyle was carefully crafted, with braids, curls, or intricate updos and was adorned with fresh flowers, decorative hair pins.

Looking at her makeup artist, Kiara innocently asked, "If tears come, will it ruin the makeup?" Already on the verge of tears, Shanvi chuckled, rising from the bed and approaching them.

The makeup artist gently shook her head while packing her tools. Kiara, nervously biting her lips, whispered to Shanvi, "Why are you laughing? I really don't want to scare everyone.”

"Don't bite your lips; the lipstick might come off," Shanvi mumbled, gently turning Kiara towards her.

"Looking absolutely adorable! May the evil eye stay far away..."

Kiara grinned at the compliment, then sadly pouted, "don't!" Shanvi protested while holding her hands, “don't you dare cry and ruin the makeup!”

As Kiara and Shanvi shared a moment, Reshmi entered the room with an air of excitement. "Ladies, the priest is calling for the bride. It's time— oh my God! Kiara? Oh goodness, you look so stunning… wow.”

Reshmi's eyes sparkled with joy as she took in Kiara's breathtaking appearance. "Dhruv sir is going to be speechless when he sees you," she exclaimed, her excitement contagious.

Kiara blushed at Reshmi's words, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Reshmi couldn't help but tease, "If Dhruv sir doesn't have tears in his eyes, I might shed a few for him.”

Shanvi chuckled, "Let's hope he can handle all this beauty without fainting."

"Now, let's not keep the groom waiting.”

As they walked through the adorned hallways, the gentle rustle of Kiara's lehenga and the tinkling of her jewelry created a melody. The soft strains of traditional music welcomed them as they entered the sacred space.

As Kiara approached the mandap, a hush fell over the room. Dhruv, dressed in a cream colour sherwani, stood waiting with a mix of excitement and awe on his face.

Dhruv was mesmerized as Kiara entered the room, her beauty capturing his attention. The surroundings seemed to glow as she stepped into view, creating a magical atmosphere. Dhruv's eyes swelling up a little seeing the love of his life, and in that moment, it was just the two of them, the rest of the world fading away.

Kiara's warm smile met Dhruv's gaze, forming a connection that felt like a dream come true. His eyes reflected overwhelming joy, symbolizing their journey together, filled with challenges and determination. Despite the past struggles, this moment held the promise of a future built on love.

The exchanged smiles carried the magic of dreams coming true, showcasing the enduring strength of their bond. As they locked eyes, the air seemed to resonate with the melody of their hearts beating in harmony. Dhruv felt profound gratitude for reaching this juncture in their love story.

Their smiles held the essence of a thousand dreams fulfilled, marking the victory of their love over challenges. Now their forever began.

“Mine, forever.”

As Kiara reached the mandap, Dhruv extended his hand to welcome her. Their eyes locked, exchanging silent promises and love.

In a soft whisper, Dhruv expressed, "You are truly breathtaking." His voice quivered with emotions, and as he held Kiara's hand, conveying his affection. Softly gazing into her eyes, he found himself overwhelmed with the beauty that radiated from within her.
