Karan was shocked to see his Nandini sitting down and crying.He ran to her:Nandini...

KARAN:Nandini,why are you crying?What happened?
Nandini kept crying without answering him.

Karan thought:Guess she is sad about Bhoomi.
He got her up with his hands.

He cupped her adorable face in his hands.
KARAN:Are you alright?

NANDINI:Yes.
KARAN:All are waiting for you to dress up Bhoomi.
NANDINI:I can't dress her up Karan.I can't...
KARAN:Nandini...why?Tonight is her wedding.She has to dress up as a bride.
NANDINI:After I dress her up as a bride,she will get married and leave me.

KARAN:So that's why you are crying?

Nandini wept.
KARAN:See Nandini...I understand your feelings.As a mother you are sad that your daughter is going away after marriage.But be happy that she got the love of her life.Joydeep will keep her happy.

NANDINI:I know.Joydeep is a nice boy and he will keep her happy.But still...Bhoomi will go away.
Karan became emotional.
KARAN:No Nandini.She will be in Mumbai itself.So at any time we can visit her.She and Joydeep will visit us too.

NANDINI:But I won't be able to see her daily...at any moment when ever I want to see her.
KARAN:No Nandini.We can always visit her whenever we want to see her.Sure.
NANDINI:Sure?
KARAN:Yes.So go dress her up.She is waiting.Only if you dress her up she will be the most beautiful bride in the world.
They both smiled.Nandini left the room.
Suddenly Karan burst into tears.
He remembered Bhoomi's birth time.The moment he and Nandini saw Bhoomi for the first time..

He remembered looking at Bhoomi without taking his eyes off her when she was a baby.

He remembered how he and Nandini told stories to Bhoomi even though they knew that as she is a baby she could not understand what they said.

He remembered how he used to play with Bhoomi...how he used to play with her.He remembered each moment he spent with her.
KARAN:How fast time flew!Why did you grow up so fast Bhoomi?
He cried.Suddenly he felt somebody's arms on his shoulder.
He looked at that person.It was Nandini.Her eyes were full of tears.
KARAN:Nandini...you didn't go yet?
NANDINI:Bhoomi was always his dad's pet.So I knew that you will be heart broken.So I hid outside the room.In order to console me,you hid your pain and pretended to be very happy.Right Karan?
Karan stammered:Na...Na...Nandini...Our memories with Bhoomi  haunted my heart.So I couldn't control myself.
She wiped his tears.
NANDINI:Karan...like you told me...we need to be happy as we are sending our daughter with the most lovable person.
KARAN:Yes,you are right.

Karan's parents Tulsi and Mihir came.
Tulsi held Nandini and Karan together:Bhoomi's happiness is most important for you both.Right?Bhoomi will be very happy with Joydeep.And if Bhoomiis happy you both will be happy.Right?
Nandini:You are right Maa.But still...
Mihir:It's natural.When our daughter Shoba got married we both were very upset too.Tulsi shed buckets of tears.
Tulsi smiled:Yes.Now you and Karan are passing through that phase.But after some time Mihir and I were very happy to see Shoba happy with her husband and family.Like that you both will also be happy soon seeing Bhoomi and Joydeep happy together.
Karan-Nandini smiled emotionally.
Mihir:When a daughter becomes an adult parents try to get her married off soon.But when they see her as a bride along with happiness pain will also be there and they cry a lot.How strange it is!Why we parents are like this that Tulsi?I can\t understand.
Tulsi:That's how parents' emotions are shaped up Mihir.We can\t help iit.

Tulsi looked at Karan-Nandini:Today is the most happiest day of our daughter's life.So she should look like a Princess.
KARAN:Yes.
Tulsi:Nandini...you should dress her like a Princess.What more is needed for Bhoomi to be happy today?Because a girl is most beautful  when her mother dresses her.
Nandini smiles:Yes Maa.For a mother, her daughter is the prettiest girl in the world too.
Tulsi smiled.

Nihaal,Bhoomi's cousin and his wife Prerna whom he calls P2  were present in Bhoomi's room.

Bhoomi:Nihaal...P2...give me some tips for a happy married life.

P2 blushed.

Nihaal smiled:P2...why are you silent?Why don't you share the secret of a happy married life with Bhoomi?

P2 was shy.

Bhoomi:Why is P2 so shy?Is the secret that private?

Nihaal-P2 giggled.

Nihaal  embraces P2.

P2:What are you doing in front of Bhoomi Nihaal?

Bhoomi smiled.

Nihaal:Bhoomi knows us very well.She has no problem with our romance.Right Bhoomi?

Bhoomi smiled.

Nihaal:Keep romancing with your husband.That's the key to the success of married life.

Bhoomi blushed thinking of Joydeep.

Nandini came:Why are you all laughing?What's the joke?

P2:Nothing chachi...this Nihaal is very naughty.

Nandini smiled.

Nandini dressed Bhoomi as a bride.
Nandini caressed Bhoomi's face softly and emotionally:You look so beautiful...
P2:Joydeep will be flattered.
Nakul:Joydeep is already flattered.That's why he is marrying our Bhoomi.
Bhoomi blushed.
Karan came.
Bhoomi smiled:Dad...tell me how do I look?
Karan smiled:Very beautiful.The most beautiful bride in this world.
She smiled.Bhoomi touched Karan-Nandini's feet.
They blessed her.
KARAN:My daughter will get all happiness.
NANDINI:Always be happy my child.Be a good wife to your husband and a good daughter to your husband's parents.
Bhoomi smiled nodding her head.

Seeing Joydeep-Bhoomi's wedding Karan-Nandini became very emotional.

The of departure has arrived...
Mihir and Tulsi hugged Bhoomi.
Bhoomi becomes emotional:Dadu...dadi...
Mihir:God bless you beta.
Tulsi:Make your husband happy.You will be the happiest wife then as husband's happiness becomes a wife's happiness.
Bhoomi smiled.
Karan-Nandini couldn't control themselves.The tears in their eyes got exposed.Bhoomi looked at them.

Bhoomi's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Bhoomi:What do you both think?That I cannot understand your inner turmoil?

Karan was so emotional that he couldn't open his mouth.
Nandini's lips shivered:Bhoomi...you are leaving us..?

Bhoomi hugged Karan-Nandini and cried.Karan-Nandini also cried.
Seeing them all of them wept including Joydeep.
Joydeep:Don't cry.Because all your tears are going to get wasted.Bhoomi and I will be visiting you all everyday.

They wiped their tears and tried to smile.
Karan kept Bhoomi's arm on Joydeep's arm.
KARAN:She is our Princess.Please take care.

Joydeep looked at Bhoomi and uttered words to Karan:Your Princess is my Princess too.I will give her all the happiness.

Karan-Nandini smiled.

Joydeep left with Bhoomi in the decorated car.

Nandini's lips shivered:Bhoomi left leaving me alone.

Karan held her hand:No Nandini.You are not alone.I am there with you.I was always with you,till the end I will be with you.

Nandini became emotional:Karan!
They shared an emotional eye lock.

The End
