Author's pov

All three of them go shopping as Sania wasn't able to go with their families, so they go to the mall for shopping. First, they go for clothes, Avni and Sania ask for their brother's suggestion. They want to wear outfits of Vansh's choice as all the payment is on him. They have lots of fun.

Vansh got emotional to see them, he didn't want to show it but he didn't want to send his sister off.

When a brother's sister gets married, he often feels a whirlwind of emotions. There's immense happiness seeing his sister embark on a new journey filled with love and companionship, coupled with nostalgia as he reminisces about their shared childhood memories. This joy is often mingled with protectiveness, wanting to ensure her happiness and well-being in her new life. Amidst the celebrations, he might also experience a tinge of sadness, realizing that their relationship will change as she starts a new chapter.  Anxiety may creep in as he worries about the adjustments ahead, but overarching all these feelings is a deep sense of gratitude for the irreplaceable bond they share.

A tear escaped from the Vansh's eyes. His sisters, catching sight of this rare display of emotion, grew instantly concerned.

They hurried over, their eyes filled with worry. "Are you okay?" Avni asked softly, her voice a blend of anxiety and tenderness.

He smiled through his tears, shaking his head. "I'm just so happy for you," he managed to say, his voice choked with emotion. "Seeing you so radiant and knowing you're stepping into a beautiful new chapter of your life—it just hit me all at once." Her concern melted into a tender smile as she hugged him tightly, both of them savouring the profound bond they shared amidst the joyous chaos around them.

"Why you guys always forget about me?" Sania said with a pout making Avni and Vansh giggle and gesture her to join.  Trio hugged tightly and broke it after some time.

"Bhai, please don't cry, I don't like these tears in your eyes," Avni said while wiping tears from his eyes making Sania nod and say "Yes bhai, you know you are my hero and I can't see you like this because you look like a monkey while crying, see your whole face turn red" they chuckled.

"If ever in future both of you get in any situation where you don't know whom to ask for help then remember one thing you have a brother who is with you no matter what, okay?" Vansh said while both girls nodded "Okay".

"Now, let's enjoy the day" and with this, they enjoy their day out and have so much fun today like there is no tomorrow.

On Wedding Day

The Sharma household was a whirlwind of colours and sounds as the wedding day approached. Marigold flowers adorned every doorway and window, their bright orange petals contrasting with the strings of twinkling fairy lights that lit up the night. The air buzzed with the sound of traditional music, a harmonious blend of songs and instrumental tunes, setting the perfect backdrop for the laughter and chatter that echoed through the halls.

The kitchen was a hub of activity, with the rich aroma of Indian spices wafting through the house, mingling with the sweet scent of freshly made desserts.

In the main hall, a grand mandap had been set up, its pillars wrapped in rich red and gold fabric, adorned with more flowers and traditional motifs. The sacred fire, the centrepiece of the mandap, was meticulously prepared, ready to witness the vows that would be exchanged. Family members and friends moved around, their attire reflecting the vibrant spirit of the day. Women in shimmering sarees and lehengas, their jewellery sparkling under the lights, chatted animatedly while helping each other with last-minute touch-ups. Men in elegant sherwanis and turbans greeted each other with warm embraces.

Everyone is ensuring the last time preparations as it is a big day so they want everything perfect.

The Sharma house wasn't just a home; it was a tapestry of love, tradition, and celebration, where every corner whispered tales of heritage and happiness.

The groom's procession, or baraat, approached the house with great fanfare. Reyansh arrived on a decorated white horse, surrounded by his friends and family who danced joyously to the beats of the dhol. The atmosphere was electric, filled with cheers and laughter.

There is no bound of happiness for him. He is waiting for this day from so long time and when it finally came he can't express his feelings and excitement.

Whole Sharma Family members start going towards the entrance to welcome the groom. "Sania, we will welcome them, you go and check on your sister once," Anjali Ji said. "Okay mumma," Sania made her way towards the bride's room.

Reyansh and his whole family are welcomed with respect after doing some rituals. Everyone is happy and enjoying as it is the day of celebration. 

Amid the joyous wedding rituals unfolding outside, Sania, slipped away to check on her sister, Avni as per her mother's order. Today, she is so happy for her sister. The door, slightly ajar, creaked as she pushed it open. Inside, the sight that greeted her was bewildering, the room was eerily empty and completely messy.

"Di, kaha hai aap" Sania said, she felt a sense of unease.

(Where are you?)

She is searching the whole room. She knocks on the bathroom door hoping that Avni is inside. She doesn't want to accept whatever her heart is feeling.

Panic rose in her chest when she didn't get any response. She started to think about the consequences and how everyone reacted when they got to know about it.

"Didi, where are you" A tear escaped from her eyes as she whisper to herself.

Just then, her parents entered the room, their faces lighting up with expectations that quickly turned to horror as they took in the scene. “What happened? Where is Avni?” their mother asked.

A sob escape from Sania's mouth as go and hug her mother making them worried.

"Beta, kya hua aur Avni kaha hai?" Her father said

(What happened and where is Avni?)

Sania broke the hug and said " I don't know, papa, when I came here Didi is not here. I search the whole room but she is not here"

Their father’s shoulders slumped as the weight of the situation dawned on him. “Why would she do this?” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.

Their mother’s eyes filled with tears, and she sank onto the bed, her hands shaking, sania is comforting her. "It's not like we're forcing her into this marriage. She loves Reyansh"

"Reyansh? Now, how we will answer them" Anand, her father said in worry and tension.

Realizing they had to inform the groom’s family,  Anand took a deep breath and led the way back to the gathering. He discreetly pulled the groom’s parents inside a room and seeing it Reyansh and Vansh also made their way towards the room where Vansh's and Reyansh's family is already presented.

Anand start explaining everything to them as how Sania found the room empty and Avni is not there.

The groom’s mother’s eyes widened in shock, while his father’s face grew stern. Reyansh is in shock to say anything, he can't accept it.

"So you trying to say that she ran away from this marriage" Sushma ji, Reyansh's mother said in shocking voice.

"I don't know" Anand ducking his head down.

"What you don't know, it's clear that she ran away" Vikram, Reyansh's father said making Anand to duck his head more as he can't able to stand in front of them. He is feeling guilty and embarrassing.

There was a sad and angry environment filled in the whole room.

"How she ran away like this. You know that it may affect our reputation." Mrs Singhania said while burning in anger and shock still can't believe that she ran away.

"I am sorry Mrs Singhania but what we can do?" Mrs Sharma said sadly and helplessly.

"Your first daughter ran away from her marriage, then your second daughter has to pay for this. SHE WILL BE HIS BRIDE." Mrs Singhania said. Everyone is in utter shock after hearing her words.
