With avni saying yes it was a happy moment for everyone.
Everyone began to talk and started making the last minute arrangements for avni.

Aranya said that she will help avni with the wedding dress.
The jewellery for her will be handled by the elder women of family.

Avni made it sure to say to keep her bridal look very very minimal, with light saree and very few ornaments.

The three gorgeous ladies were ready with every body else.

Finally the preparations and rush came to an end.Everyone left to the mandap side.

It was time for the wedding,the pandit had already reached the mandap and started the pooja.
Akash and avni was made to sit in front of the holy fire and perform some poojas.

Both the bride and groom was asked to exchange the varmala.
Then they took the vows around the holy fire.

Akash tied the thali(nupital chain) on Avni and put the vermillion on her hair partition

The pandit ji finally announced them as husband and wife.

So here we have the newly weds Akash Nanda and his WIFE Avni Naina Murthy Nanda.
__________________________________________

After the wedding the newly weds were asked to visit the temple.
Everyone else made their way to the ancestral home.
They arranged the welcome preparations of the newly weds.

Akash and avni came back and was welcomed in the traditional way.

As it was almost night time elders retired to their rooms.The cousins and the newly weds were still at the balcony.
They were still talking when avni yawned and which got Akash's attention and he said everyone that he is tired and need to rest.

Chaitanya made fun of him by saying that he is eager for his wedding night.which made everyone laugh except the newly weds.

Akash so gracefully gave chaitanya the death glare upon which chaitanya stopped his laughing.
On the other hand avni was in a awkward situation.

Everyone decided it was time for them to sleep and started moving towards their respective rooms.
Avni also turned the way to her previous room on habit when aranya called out to her.

She was again in the awkward situation.
She bit her tongue out of habit and started pouting when everyone made fun of her.Aranya asked her to go to Akash's room.

Akash got a hold of avni's hand when she made no move from her place and started taking her to now their room.

Ahaan and chaitanya shifted their room to Aranya's.
And Aranya is now shifted to Adya's room.

Akash was calm.Avni was nervous.

"You should sleep now"akash told avni.

"Where will you sleep"avni asked akash out of nervousness.

" i am pretty sure the bed can accommodate both of us, I meant we three(akash, chaitanya,ahaan) have slept in the same bed"akash replied calmly.

Akash understood her nerves and asked Her to relax.We can take things slowly, akash told his little wife.

Avni knew from her heart that she can trust akash.And so that is what she did.
She trusted her husband.

They both laid down on the bed with a lot of space between them,but were okay with it now,the space didn't seem to bother them.
Moreover the space didn't bother akash as he knew his wife will eventually shift near to him during her sleep.
Avni had the habit of throwing her legs and hands on the person sleeping next to her during her sleep,and it was not a secret in the family.

Avni was fast asleep due to her tiredness but akash was laying there still awake and as predicted avni turned towards akash and literally throw her hands on him and shifted more near him hugging him closely.

Akash don't remember the last time someone hugged him , he was never touchy and he was sure if anyone hugged him it will probably be his mother or anyone from his family.

But this hug seemed different.
The feeling is different.
Even anvi had hugged him before in many occasions but now he can sense the difference clearly ,at that time the hug was different,it was of a cousin kind of hug, a normal greeting type of thing,but now this particular hug of her is different , now she is different to him , she is not any more his cousin but also now his wife.

She was his wife now and so did the hug felt different, a good difference.
Akash soon slept with a very rare small, smile on his lips.
