Everyone was happy with the schedule after which Maya & Karan discussed their choice of decoration and other plans. A group stylists were appointed to help Maya with getting ready, They showed Maya some samples of makeup & hairstyles for all the events. Maya was very excited as well as confused after seeing so many different styles, she asked Khushi to help her out as Khushi was also a certified stylist.

Soon everything was ready and Karan's stylists had arrived, they brought a huge collection from their latest wedding designs and Karan tried them and selected some best outfits, later Karan enjoyed a very soothing skin care section while Maya, Sujata & Jagruti got their nails done.

[At night]

Everything was set and Maya was already exhausted and was resting on the bed when Karan entered and said, "Aaj ek din mai he thak gyi? Abhi to 3 din baki hai." with a smile on his face. "Pehli baar shaadi ho rahi hai kabhi itni preparation nahi ki iss liye thak gyi." Maya said as she removed her earring and kept it on the side table. "Ha haa sirf aapki pehli baar shaadi ho rahi hai, mai to ye roz karta hu." Karan said as he laughed "Are nahi nahi aap samajh jao na." Maya said in a very low irritated voice.

"Ha smj gya, acha chalo ak achi si movie dekhte hain rest or entertainment dono ho jayega." Karan said as he handed the TV remote to Maya and added, "Tum movie choose karo mai cook ko bol kar popcorn or cold drink mangvata hu."

In a while popcorn & cold drinks were brought in their room and they played the movie. Maya rested her head on Karan's shoulder and Karan held her hand, more than the movie our couple was enjoying their closeness and the moment they were in. "I want this moment to stop." Karan said in his mind. "This is so beautiful and comfortable, puri zindgi aaise he rehna hai inke saath." Maya thought in her mind and looked towards Karan.

In a while the couple from the movie kissed in the middle of road while it was raining which made our love birds remember their first kiss and they looked at each other in a seductive way, Karan leaned down towards Maya's lips looking deep into her eyes and was above to kiss Maya when Shivang opened the door saying, "Ye mere favourite popcorn ki smell kaha se aa rahi hai bhai." and saw the Karan and Maya when they were above to kiss and smashed the door saying, "Sorry bhai bhabhi...use the protection" and left at which Karan got angry on Shivang and threw a pillow towards the door saying, "Shivang k bacheeee" after which Maya burst in laughter seeing which Karan's mood was instantly changed.

He again went close to Maya which instantly stopped Maya's laughter and raised her heartbeat. Karan caressed Maya's lips gently with his thumb and moved his hand through Maya's waist, lifting her and sitting her on his lap while he kissed Maya passionately and with the same passion Maya kissed him back, gliding her hand through Karan's hair and coming close to him as Karan hugged her tightly.

Karan dropped Maya on bed and slept on her, giving her a sprint of shiver. Karan slowly moved Maya's hair aside and kissed her neck giving Maya a slight pleasure, Karan could not stop and ended up giving a hickey to Maya to which Maya mourned, "Ahh" which was when Karan instantly stopped "Did I hurt you" Karan asked in a very seductive voice listening to which Maya just nodded in negativity and in no time took Karan's lips in between her lips and they kissed until they were breathless.

After the kiss Karan & Maya enjoyed each other's warmth as they cuddled and peacefully fell asleep.

[Next morning]

It was a very special day for Maya & Karan. The alarm rang at 4:00 am sharp and woke up Maya but Karan was still in sleep so she thought that she'll take a bath and after that she'll wake him up.

Karan was already awake when Maya came out of the wardrobe, "Good morning beautiful" he said, "Good morning handsome." Maya replied while drying her hair with a towel. Just then someone knocked at the door and entered, Sujata & Jagruti had come to give Maya some jewellery for the mehndi ceremony.

When they were trying a necklace on Maya they spotted the hickey and gave a look to each other and laughed, "Kya hua aap dono has kyun rahe ho." Karan asked, "Kuch nahi kuch nahi." Jagruti said and then they left. Maya went to the dressing table and removed the necklace which was when she realised at what Jagruti & Sujata were laughing.

"Thiss, this is what they were laughing at" Maya said pointing towards the hickey in a very irritated voice, Karan came close and saw the dark red mark he made on Maya's neck last night and started laughing. "Hass kya rahe hai, ma or choti ma kya soch rahe hoge. Or ab isse kaise nickalege" Maya said while softly hitting Karan's shoulder with her hand. "Don't worry bacha, I know how to fix this." Karan said while asking Maya to sit on the dressing table and Maya blushed hearing the word bacha from Karan.

Meanwhile Shivang knocked the door & entered "Good morning dulha dulhan" he said. Maya quickly covered the hickey with her hand and greeted him. While Karan gave him a cold look last night. "Vo bhabhi Khushi ne ye broch aapko dene k liye kaha hai." he said. Maya forgot about the hickey and took the broch from Shivang with the hand she had covered the hickey.

"Ohh ab pata chala Ma or badi ma haste hue kyun nickel. Chalo acha hai kal meri vajah se mood to spoil nahi hua bhai ka." Shivang said which instantly made Maya realise that she uncovered the hickey and quickly put the hand back on the hickey. "Umm shivang tuje shayad Khushi bula rahi hai." Karan said while pushing shivang out of the door and laughing.

Maya and karan laughed their hearts out after whatever had happened while covering the hickey with some makeup.

In a while Khushi called Maya asking her to come to the room assigned for her to get ready. Maya said she'll be there in 10 minutes and took the jewellery Sujata & Jagruti gave her in the morning. "I'll go get ready for mehndi." Maya said to Karan "Take care babe" karan said while pulling Maya close to him and gently kissed her cheek which had already turned red.

[After 2 hours]

The palace was filled with prestigious guests who were all dressed in white and green for mehndi as it was the colour code for mehndi. The wedding was gonna be an intimate wedding only close family members, business friends and some important people were invited.

In a while Maya and Karan made a beautiful entry with some talented dancers dancing around them as they walked. Karan was dressed in a green shervani with a safa on his head.

While Maya was looking gorgeous in her green outfit with her hair tied up and a beautiful ancestral choker and earrings.

Soon songs were played and the mehndi ceremony had begun. Everyone danced and enjoyed the event. While the mehndi artists did some beautiful mehndi on everyone's hands.

It was almost lunch time and Maya was hungry but she could not eat due to the mehndi so Karan sat beside her and fed his loving wife in front of everyone. When a tall & beautiful lady interrupted, "Ohh, Maya lucky you, I'm jealous." the lady spoke. Karan was very shocked to see the lady, he got up and hugged her while greeting her. "Maya met Kritika Sharma. She's a very good friend of mine and daughter of our papa's business friend Mr. Lalit Sharma" Karan said.

"Hello Kritika, it's nice to meet you." Maya said. "Yaar Maya ye kya bana diya hai tumne mere best friend ko. Ye sakt launda tha or tumne to isse bilkul pookie bna diya hai." Kritika said as she held Karan's bisap. Maya did not like this behaviour of Kritika and just to make her realise that she was talking to Karan's wife she said, "Haa mere pyaar mai ye pigal gaye. Pyaar ka asar hai." while giving a stare to Karan.

Karan realized that Maya was not liking Kritika's behaviour so he unwrapped Kritika's hand from his biceps and sat beside Maya. Someone called Kritika so she had to leave. Karan did not want Maya's mood to be spoiled so he said, "Tumhe kisne kaha ki tumhare pyaar mai mai pigal gaya?" "Shut up, vo ladki kitna chipak rahi thi aapse or aapne kuch kaha bhi nahi." Maya said. "Areyy vo aaisi he hai, vaise kya tum jealous ho rahi ho?" Karan asked. "Jealous hone ki koi baat nahi hai mujhe nahi acha laga to bol diya."

"Maya Lunch k baad mere saath ready hone chala. The team is ready." Khushi interrupted Maya & Karan's conversation. "Mera ho gaya hai abhi hai chalte hai." Maya said while giving a not so good look to Karan. After Maya left Karan ate from the same plate saying, "Jutha khane se pyar badhta hai." and smiled seeing Maya jealous.

[The haldi function]

Maya & Karan were all ready for an amazing & fun haldi. They were already seated on the haldi stage, all the adults applied haldi to the love birds and gave them blessings, now it was turn for Shivang and Karan's other friend to apply haldi and they did not have plans of a peaceful haldi.

Soon a group of people rushed towards Karan and applied haldi on him, Karan applied haldi to them as well and it looked as if they were celebrating holy. While Maya was busy looking towards Karan when Khushi and Kritika threw buckets of water on Maya. The stage was fully covered with haldi and was wet.

In no time the couple was asked to stand up and were forcefully taken to the swimming pool and were thrown in the pool. Everyone was laughing and was very happy, everyone danced, got drunk and enjoyed the haldi ceremony.

It was almost 5:30 and the haldi ceremony was completed, Maya was exhausted with the heavy lengha who's weight had doubled because of the water, she could hardly walk with so much weight so Karan gave her an offer, "aapko room tk utha kr le jaunga but baad mai I waaanttt somethingg." Karan said while pointing towards his neck. Maya felt shy so she just nodded her head in refusal and started moving but Karan lifted her and headed towards the room.

Karan was putting her on her feet but Maya said, "Yha room mai pani aa jayega washroom mai he utaaro muje." "Ha madam mai aapka driver hu na aap jaha kahoge vaha utaruga" Karan said as he laughed. Karan kept Maya down and was about to leave the washroom when Maya stopped him, raised herself on her toes and gently kissed Karan's neck. Karan was left blushing after this, he was above to kiss Maya back but was disturbed by Shivang who was calling him from the room.

Karan came out of the washroom saying, "Yaar kisi ki timing itni sahi kaise ho sakti hai. Tu har baar kaise bich mai aa jata hai, shadi k baad room ke bahar no entry for Shivang ka board he lga dena hai." "Arey kya ho gaya bhai kyun gussa kr rahe ho muj naadan balak pr?" Shivang asked. "Kuch nhi tu ye bata kya kam se aaya tha?" Karan said. "Ha vo photographer ne kaha hai vo aapki or bhabhi ki photoshoot k liye kl subah 9 baje location pr aa jayega. To baba keh rahe the ki family photoshoot parso bhabhi ki pehli rasoi k baad kr lete hai. Kl aap dono apna photoshoot ache se kra lo." Shivang said. "Ha theek hai postpone kr dete hai family photoshoot." Karan said and at the same moment Maya came out of the washroom fixing her hair.

"Ohhhh! Ab smj aaya bhai itna gussa kyun ho rahe the." Shivang said hii to Maya and left the room.

Maya took a quick beauty sleep for an hour and was going to get ready for the sangeet.

The lawn was filled with beautiful lighting and everyone was dressed in gorgeous black & silver outfits by the best designers of India. Karan & Maya made entry with beautiful fireworks lighting by their side and in no time the performances started. Shivang performed a dance, Sujata &Vidut performed a dance for Maya while Jaruti & Vikram performed for Karan and at last our lovely couple won everyone's heart & attention with a beautiful couple dance.

Maya's eyes were filled with water after seeing Vidut & Sujata dance for her, so after the performance Sujata came and gave a tight hug to Maya. That moment was very emotional for everyone.

After the function all the guests had dinner and headed towards their rooms. Maya and Karan had just changed when Prachi knocked on the door, when the door was opened she handed over some clothes to Maya & Karan and asked them to wear it and come near the pool area. When Maya asked what it was for Prachi said it was a surprise and left.

Maya & Karan dressed up wearing the clothes Khushi gave, Karan received a white shirt & shorts while Maya got a white mini dress, seeing the dress Maya hesitated to wear but she had no other choice. They could see nothing due to darkness as they went near the pool, Karan & Maya called Prachi but did not get any response. They were above to leave thinkin it was a prank but as the tried to leave lights lit and everyone shouted, "It's a surprise bachelorette"

They started the music and pulled Karan and Maya with them to dance on the dance floor. They danced their hearts out and decided to play truth & dare. In the first round the bottle pointed towards Shivang, He chose dare so he was given a dare to call a random person & say I love you. So he did it.

In the next round the bottle stopped towards Maya, she chose the truth so Kritika shamelessly asked, "Karan se shaadi paiso k liye kr rahi ho na?" to which Maya's heart skipped a heartbeat and Karan angrily said, "Mind your words Kritika." "Are mazak kar rahi hu yaar kya serious ho gaye." and added, "The real question is, kya kabhi tumne date kiya hai? "Nahi" Maya replied in a low voice

In the next round it was Karan's turn to choose the truth so again before anyone could speak Kritika asked, "When was your first kiss? And with whom" Karan gave a cold look to Kritika as he got some hint of what she was actually trying to do. "My first kiss was 4 years ago & it was with you." Karan said. Maya was shocked knowing that Karan & Kritika share some history.

Karan saw a change in Maya's expression and said, "Ye game bore kr rahi hai let's have some food and end this." Everyone agreed with Karan, had some drinks and food after which they headed towards their room. Maya was upset that Karan had never shared his past with her whereas Karan knew everything.
