arjun kiara wedding

The Next Morning...
When Kiara woke up in the morning, she couldn't remember anything from last night. But as soon as she looked at herself and Arjun, realization hit her, and tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to get up slowly from the bed, but a sharp pain shot through her body, making her cry out.
Hearing her painful cry, Arjun woke up instantly. He quickly pulled her into his arms and asked with concern,
"What happened? Are you okay? Why are you crying?"
Kiara, sobbing, replied,
"If I don't cry, then what else should I do? What happened between us last night?"
Arjun gently calmed her down and said,
"Relax, Kiara. Today is our wedding day. You don't have a problem with that, right?"
Kiara wiped her tears and said,
"No, but we won't tell anyone about our marriage!"
Arjun nodded.
"Alright. Go freshen up. The clothes will be here soon."
Kiara picked up Arjun's shirt and went to the washroom. Shortly after, their wedding outfits arrived. She took her clothes and went inside again. When she returned, she looked stunning in a red saree. Seeing her, Arjun himself went to get ready. A little while later, both of them stood before the mirror, perfectly dressed. Arjun had chosen a red-and-white sherwani that complemented Kiara's saree. He looked incredibly handsome.

At the Court...
Arjun and Kiara arrived at the court together.
The place was mostly empty, as Arjun had arranged for privacy through his secretary, Aditya. Only the lawyer was present. Since all the preparations had been made in advance, they only had to sign the documents. With just a few signatures, their marriage was officially registered. Holding their marriage certificates in hand, the two of them stepped out of the court as husband and wife.

At the Temple...
From the court, they headed to a temple where the wedding rituals had been arranged beforehand. As they sat at the mandap, the priest began chanting the holy mantras.
After completing the recitations, the priest looked at Arjun and said,
"Groom, please tie the mangalsutra around the bride's neck."
Arjun glanced at Aditya, who immediately handed him a diamond-studded mangalsutra with the letter A engraved on it. It looked like a pendant, but it was, in fact, a mangalsutra. Arjun carefully tied it around Kiara's neck.
Next, the priest instructed,
"Groom, apply vermillion (sindoor) to the bride's forehead."
Arjun took a pinch of sindoor and gently filled Kiara's hair parting. Some of the sindoor accidentally fell on her nose. Seeing this, Arjun instinctively reached out to wipe it off, but the priest stopped him.
"Let it be. This is a sign of a husband's deep love. It should not be removed."
The priest then turned to Kiara and said,
"Daughter, this sindoor falling on your nose signifies that your husband loves you immensely. Always trust him."
With that, the wedding was completed, and the priest announced,
"From today onward, you both are husband and wife."
Since neither of their families was present, the priest advised them,
"Now, go and seek blessings from Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati."
Following his words, Arjun held Kiara's hand and took her to the temple's sanctum. After offering prayers, the priest gave Kiara some sacred sindoor from the feet of Goddess Parvati.
"Take this, daughter. Apply it every day, and your marriage will always remain blessed."
Kiara carefully took it in her hands. After one final prayer, they left for their car.

In the Car...
As they settled inside, Arjun asked,
"Now that we'll be living together, where do you want to stay—Singh Villa or the bungalow?"
Kiara firmly replied,
"You seem to be forgetting what I told you earlier. Until my college is completed, no one should know about our marriage. So, obviously, the bungalow."
Arjun nodded in understanding and gave the driver the address.

At the Bungalow...
Upon arriving, Kiara and Arjun stepped inside. Arjun asked,
"Will you be going to the office today?"
Kiara nodded.
"Yes."
Without saying anything further, she went to her room.

In the Room...
Kiara opened the cupboard and took out a kurti and leggings before heading into the bathroom.
A while later, she emerged, dressed in a white-and-red net kurti paired with white leggings. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, with sindoor hidden beneath her hair. She wore a pendant-like mangalsutra around her neck, kohl in her eyes, a light lip balm, red sandals, a watch on one wrist, and a bracelet on the other.
As she walked into the living area, she saw Arjun already waiting, dressed in his usual black-and-white business suit. His hair was neatly set with gel, making him look effortlessly charming.
Seeing her, Arjun said,
"Let's have lunch first, then we'll leave for the office."
With that, they both moved toward the dining table, where lunch had already been served.
After finishing their meal, they left for work together.
