Pari wanted to know how did her didi manage to come into the life of the hunk Yash Scindia she told about the various articles she read on the social media about the handsome rich playboy Scindia and the ladies who claimed to be his future wife or current girlfriend.
In the end it was Yash himself who came and broke up their fun he wanted to speak to Aarti in private but what he really wanted was a hug and goodnight kiss on the lips but had to settle for one on the cheeks.
"Sleep well my love dream about what we will do to each other on our honeymoon

"I don't care you are mines and we are getting married he pulled her closer with the intent of capturing her lips but she moved quickly this time and his lips met her cheeks.
"Goodnight Yash go before someone comes
"Who do you think is up so late
And in answer to his question there was Maya bua returning to her room with er jug filled with water.
"Shameful is this the way to be dressed looking at Aarti in her old t=shirt and shorts that she sleeps in "And interacting a man enticement him to your bed cant wait for your wedding night disgraceful little tramp
"Bua that is enough however my wife decides to dress for bed is her business and if we are romancing it is our business so please keep your opinion to yourself "
"Yash go don't make matters worse she is our elder
"Who do not know to stop meddling in my life
"Is this the way we brought up up to disrespect your elders?
"Did dada and dadi teach you to spy on others?
"Yash please leave bauji won't like this,ad there are guest here your mamaji would cause a scene if he to finds out and she begun pushing him towards his room
"Buaji I am sorry I will be careful next time and please forgive Yash he is very much like you very outspoken and don't mince his words
"I know my nephew is very much like me that is why I have to protect him and this family from people like you and she stormed away from there.
Paridhi who hear the argument said "Wow she is a piece of work that lady needs a life away from her family
"Only if we find her a handsome widower or divorcee who will love her and tolerate her ways smiled Aarti
"I Know someone my chachu he has three young sons around our age his wife divorced him and is remarried living in the US. We all live together here in India chachu owns three clothing stores here in Bhopal. Dadaiji is old fashion in her beliefs just like bua my mom loves to work so dad helped her open a spa here she spend her time there dad also spend his free time there so dadiji is alone except for the servants who understands her needs. Bua may enjoy discussing religion and the soaps on tv with her. They will enjoy tormenting my cousins
"Pari they should also come for the wedding and all the rituals before I will speak to Yash in the morning
At breakfast SP said "Paridhi beta your papa told me about your extended family and how he wants Aarti to be a part of your family so I invited them to the wedding and all the pre wedding functions. You see Aarti beta how god works in mysterious way now you have the large extended family you always wanted.
Paridhi arrived just in time to help Aarti dress for the henna ceremony she looked stunning in her magenta suit Yash also looked handsome in his outfit.
More of Yash's relatives arrived all begun discussing Aarti how she entered the house as a maid and trapped Yash. The fact that she is an orphan was a hot topic the elders demanded that the wedding be postponed until they could determine what caste she belonged too.
This enraged both Yash and SP who said that did not matter and if they don't want to be a part of their celebration they can leave. Radha was the cool one she told them exactly who Aarti's birth parents were and to their surprise on cue Aarti's biological grandparents both set arrived on the scene. This was the surprise and present Radha give to Aarti
Beta I will explain latter

Then the older folks demanded songs from the seventies, eighties and nineties
No problem said the dj Parteek said "well it could be worse they could of demanded for us to stop having fun and off to bed
Shoba and her lot left for the orphanage to return the following day for the haldi and sangeet.
The younger set made their way to the back garden where Akash had a bar setup with snacks. Prateek and Paridhi soon found themselves laughing together enjoying each other company.
Yash took Aarti to the poolside he wanted to spend quality time with her without the nosy eyes of the elders. Here they danced to the romantic music Akash played from the pool house sound system
"Yash the elders what will they think we left them inside to have our own party
"Aarti bauji and Paridhi's dad are handling them there is enough alcohol to keep the men happy who will keep their wives busy dancing. The elders don't want us to see them behave like that but trust me they do make romantic advances to their wife who enjoy every moment of it
"Bua is not married
"Paridhi's uncle will keep her busy did you not notice how interested he is uncle ji kept er busy the entire evening, ask and telling her lot of things. Bua loved the attention I even saw her blushing
"Pari thought that they could keep each other happy and suggested their punar vivah she looked closely at Yash for his reaction
"Good idea I will speak to my brothers then my parents uncle ji seems like a nice guy
"Yash won't they object you know how society conscious your relatives are they will say she is too old
"If Paridhi's uncle is a good man and he to is in agreement why should they not keep each other happy everyone needs a companion in life. Bua needs to feel wanted and loved she will have a MIL who I understand thinks like her I watched dadiji during the evening she looks just as nosy as bua they would enjoy tormenting the boys. That is if they don't return to the US Yash laughed
"Enough of that time for us and he took her to one of the chairs close by and sat with her in his lap
"Yash we are not alone
"So but we are a couple who will soon be married so relax and allow me to romance with my future wife and he proceeded to kiss her neck giing her another love bite on the other side of her neck
"Yash no stop I will be teased by all not to mention the looks I will receive from the elders
"You stop talking and enjoy and he captured her lips for their first kiss Aarti had no clue what she should do then nature took it course and she tried to respond to the sweet electrifying feeling Yash was awakening in her.
Aarti was breathless when they parted Yash leaned his head on hers "That was exactly what I needed I have to warn you that will only keep me happy for a short time then I want more
"Shameless be grateful I kissed you back although I did not know how to
"Your first kiss and it is with me as it should be I will enjoy teaching you how to love me back.
"Yash I am sure there are other aspects to marriage than... and she blushed
"Say it my love don't be shy. What are you trying to say?
"You know what I mean
"Do I? I don't read minds my love. Here let me help you. and he bent his head capturing her lips once more sending Aarti crazy she moved closer to him placing her arm around his neck keeping his in head in place opening her mouth giving him full access to his invading tongue.
Yash decide to go further and he hugged her closer to his body Aarti innocently moved her position on his lap and this made Yash's body react he begun kissing her chin moving to her neck while his hands moved to her front cupping her breast rubbing his thumb on her nipple. At first Aarti jerked away because of the new sensation she felt but Yash understood and moved his hand comforting her to relax and enjoy he move down to the V of her neckline giving small kisses his hands moved to her thighs rubbing them on her skirt but went no further. After one kiss on the mouth Yash looked into the passion filled eyes of Aarti "Enough for tonight I don't want to frighten you away he smiled
"I am not frightened answered Aarti smiling shyly at him
"Oh my sweet exciting lover is emerging from this shy beauty lucky me and her caressed her cheeks prolong his touch on her lips.

Come lets enjoy because I have a feeling soon we will be calling it anight because tomorrow is another big day.
Another hour of dancing and Pankaj called a stop to the fun explaining that all needed to rest for another day of fun the haldi and sangeet.

"NO Yash leave I am tired she pulled her hand away trying to be forceful but blushing because Yash held her hands captive in between them and he was caressing her wrists with his thumbs and looking her in the eyes.
Paridhi cleared her throat loudly breaking their romantic eye lock.
"Goodnight my love dream of me and her kissed her lightly on the lips before turning and walking towards his room.
The following morning the house was a beehive of activity for the mid morning haldi ceremony and the evening sangeet.
Shoba ma and her lot from the orphanage arrived along with Paridhi's relatives.
Aarti's grandparents were keeping a low profile but Radha ma asked both grandmothers to be a part of the rituals.
The front yard was decorated for the occasion a large tent was set up and separated into halves by a lace curtain
Yash and Aarti were brought into the tent by Pankaj and Vidhi separately and made to sit.
Aarti wore a light coloured saree while Yash had on a sleeve less white vest and traditional white dhoti.
Shoba ma applies the first haldi paste to Aarti followed by Pari ma then Radha ma told the grandmothers to take their turn followed by the other married women and young girls.
Then it was Yash's turn to have the haldi applied all the time he kept trying to see his Aarti through the curtain.
There were dancers and singers performing on traditional songs during the rituals plus the female elderly relatives decided that they will not be outdone by these youngsters they took the hand drums and other musical instruments and begun performing and dancing too.
Then it was time for Yash and Aarti to have their bath completing the ritual while the guest had their lunch.
Vidhi and Pari accompanied Aarti taking the opportunity to tease Aarti about Yash and of course they saw her love bites on her neck.
