Chapter 39

A few months later~

SIYA'S POV

Hukum and I are on a trip to Paris. He said it's a first year anniversary trip, and I totally love it. It's so beautiful and romantic.

We went to art museums and cute cafes. Today, we will visit the Eiffel Tower.

It was almost evening. We came to our suite after a relaxing massage section Hukum booked for us. I removed my jewelries and went to take a bath.

After freshening up, I came out to get ready. I put on my mangalsutra, a bracelet and my ring.... wait, where is my ring?? As far as I remember, I kept it here.

I searched for my ring everywhere but it was nowhere to be found. I can't believe I lost it. It was a gift from Hukum. That ring was next to an engagement ring for me.

I saw Hukum coming out of the bathroom.

"Maan, did you see my ring?" I asked with little hesitation.

"No, why? Wait, you were wearing it today. I saw it" He said.

"Yes, I was, but I removed all my jewelries when I went to take a bath. I came out, and all my jewelries were on the dressing table except my ring. I searched everywhere. It's nowhere to be found. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I lost it" I said, almost tearing up.

"Hey, it's okay. Hush... it's okay. It was just a ring. Don't feel bad. It wasn't your fault. It happens" Humuk said as he pulled me into a hug and caressed my hair.

"But it was a gift from you" I said with my head on his chest.

"You still have so many other gifts from me, and I'll give you plenty more" Hukum said.

"It was special. We shared a special memory with it" I said, nuzzling my face in the comfort space between his neck and shoulder.

"Hmm, it was special, but we will have many such special moments. It's the memory that's important Siya" He said in a soothing voice that relaxed my whole body.

"I love you Hukum" I mumbled.

"I love you too, Siya and don't worry too much about that ring. Now come on, let me get ready today is really special. We will visit the Tower of Love and then we will have a nice dinner date. Siya, I love what you are wearing but I got you this, can you please wear it today?" Hukum said, and I nodded with a wide smile.

Siya's outfit

Raghav's outfit

It was around dinner time and we reached the Eiffel Tower. I was astonished by it's beauty.

"Hukum, it's so alluring" I said while clutching his arm around my hands.

"Just like you Siya" He said, looking straight in my eyes, making me blush.

"Siya, come here, I have something for you" he said as he took me infront of the tower and held both my hands in his hands slightly squeezing it.

He looked into my eyes and said, "Siya, you made me the happiest man in this world. You're the best thing that life has ever given me. I know our marriage didn't happen in the best ways. Actually, it was one of the worst days because of the sadness, the fear, and the comments of people. But life with you is the best and now I can't even think of living my life without you. Tomorrow marks our first marriage anniversary and I want to make our marriage memorable, I want this date to be filled with happiness, joy and love. So, let's make a new memory of that day".

The tower started twinkling when he went down on one knee and searched for something in his pocket. 'Oh my God!!! Is it what I think it is?? Is he proposing me??' I thought.

He removed a ring box and presented it infront of me. He opened the box and I saw the ring, it was the one he gifted me last year. The one that I thought I lost.

"Siya, will you marry me....... again? Let's get married again tomorrow. But as they say, when in Rome live like a Roman, so will you marry me in a church, a white wedding?" He asked and I squirmed in my place in excitement.

I went down on both my knees and hugged him.

"YES YES AND A HUNDRED YES. I will marry you, hukum" I said as happy tears rolled down my cheeks.

The people around us started clapping and cheering and it was then that we noticed that a crowd had gathered around us.

We got up hand in hand and thanked the crowd.

"Come on now I've a great dinner planned for us" he said and we went to the restaurant.

It was a rooftop restaurant and Maan had booked the whole restaurant for us. I have a clear view of the Eiffel Tower from where we sat.

"I can't believe it just happened! We are getting married tomorrow. Wow!" I exclaimed, smile never leaving my lips.

"Don't worry, babe. I'll make sure you remember it always. And after dinner we are going to go pick a dress. I've already got a few dresses of your size. You have to pick one" He said.

"Gosh, you planned it all. Since when? And you also stole my ring!" I said playfully.

"Hey! I didn't steal anything. I just took it only to give it back to you in some hours" he said.

"Well, you're should be grateful. You're not on my radar because I loved it" I joked.

"Oh, I'd love to be on your radar" He said sexily with a sly smirk.

"Come on Siya, let me see which on you picked" Hukum whined.

"Nope, you'll only see the dress when I walk down the aisle" I said strictly.

After dinner, we went to the dress appointment. I didn't want Hukum to see the dress I picked. So he had to stay outside while I picked a dress.

"I'm mad at you. You need to be punished" He said while pulling me close to him.

Getting a little brave, I said, "I'd love to be punished by you."

"I won't punish you. I'll worship you tonight, sweetheart" He said nuzzling his face in my nape as we sat on the backseat of a taxi.

And like that the night went on being pleasurable and perfect for both.

Next day

I was in the dressing room. I was looking in the mirror, and I looked perfect. I felt loved but there was only one thing missing. Family.

Who will walk me down the aisle?

Just then there was a knock. I opened the door and saw Harshad jiju, Samiraa didi, Mannat and Krish. I hugged them even before they could come on.

"Oh I'm so happy you all are here!" I said excited.

"Oh how can we not, our daughter is getting married" Harshad jiju said.

"Yes, and Raghav planned it all almost a month ago" Samiraa didi said.

"Wow, I can't believe that! By the way how are you?? How is the baby??" I asked my sister as she was almost seven and a half months pregnant.

"We are good Siya. Today is your day and we are here to celebrate you. Now let me see my little sister. Wow, you're looking angelic" Samiraa di said.

"Thank you di" I said.

"Well, I wished you've picked someone else to be married, but it's okay. I've made peace with him. I love you didi and I'm happy for you" Krish said.

"Aww, Krish, come on, accept it, you like Hukum I know" I teased him.

"Mannat!!! I can't believe you're here. I missed you" I said and hugged her.

"I missed you too and how can I miss my bestie's wedding " Mannat said.

"Come on guys we are getting late. The ceremony is about to start" Harshad said and Samiraa didi gave me a bouquet of flowers.

"Wait jiju, I want to ask you all something" I stopped them.

"Yes, what is it?" Jiju asked

"Krish and Harshad jiju, will you both walk me down the aisle? And Samiraa di, will you be my maid of honor? And Mannat will yoh be my bridesmaid?" I asked, and they all together screamed.'YES'.

RAGHAV'S POV

I was waiting infront of the priest. My best men- Veer bhaisa, Ekansh bhaisa, Vansh and Sameer are standing here beside me. My bride is about to walk down the aisle. I can't wait to see her.

Soon, the doors open and my bride, my Siya walked down the aisle looking like a goddess. Krish held her left hand and she looped her right hand around Harshad's arm. She held a bouquet of flowers in her right hand.

I was mesmerized by her beauty. Unknowingly a tear slipped down my eye.

I held my hand out for her to take and she did. Harshad gave a pat on my shoulder and Krish said, "Break her heart and I'll break your face". I laughed at his comment along with Harshad. Then they both went and stood beside Samiraa, Mannat and Akshita bhabhi ma.

"You look breath takingly beautiful" I said.

"And you look gorgeous" She said and smiled.

The priest started our wedding ceremony.

"Siya, do you accept Raghav as your husband? Do you promise to love him as his wife, to receive him as your husband? Do you promise to make a home where he will be loved and cared for as long as God grants him life?" The priest asked.

"I do" She said and we both smiled. I gave her hands a soft squeeze.

"Raghav, do you accept Siya as your wife? Do you promise to love her as her husband, to receive her as your wife? Do you promise to make a home where she will be loved and cared for as long as God grants her life?" He asked me.

"I do" I said confidently.

"Because of your desire and commitment to each other we all here will be witnessing your wedding vows" He said.

"Today, I stand before you and before God to express my deepest love and commitment to my beloved partner.

I want to thank my beautiful bride for choosing me as her life partner. I am filled with gratitude for the love, trust, and companionship she has brought into my life. I promise to cherish and nurture this bond every single day, for as long as we both shall live.

To my wife, I vow to be your rock, your support system, and your friend. I will be there for you in times of joy and sorrow, offering my unwavering love and understanding. I will listen to your dreams and aspirations, and do everything in my power to help you achieve them.

I promise to communicate openly and honestly with you, fostering an environment of trust and respect in our marriage. I will work diligently to improve myself, so that I may become the best partner and husband I can possibly be.

Together, we will face life's challenges and celebrate its joys, hand in hand. I vow to be patient, kind, and compassionate, even during the most difficult of times. I will strive to be the man you need me to be, and the man our family deserves.

I pledge to make our home a haven of love, warmth, and happiness. I will create cherished memories with you, and ensure that our relationship remains the foundation upon which we build a beautiful life together.

I stand before you today, filled with hope, love, and excitement for our future. I am grateful for being your partner and I look forward to the many years of happiness and growth that lie ahead." I said my vows and Siya was in tears. I wanted to wipe those tears away but the damn veil was stopping me.

"My love, my Hukum, my Maan, today I stand before you, surrounded by our loved ones, to make these vows to you. From the moment I met you, I knew that you were the one I had been searching for. You have brought so much joy and love into my life, and I am forever grateful for your presence.

I promise to stand by your side through all the ups and downs that life may bring. I promise to support you, encourage you, and lift you up when you are feeling down. I promise to cherish and respect you, to listen to you and understand you, and to always be there for you no matter what.

I vow to love you with all my heart, to be faithful and loyal to you, and to always strive to make you happy. I promise to be honest and open with you, to communicate my thoughts and feelings with you, and to work together to build a strong and lasting relationship.

Today, I give you not only my heart but also my soul, my mind, and my all. I am honored to become your wife and to journey through life hand in hand with you. I love you more than words can express, and I look forward to spending the rest of my days with you as my partner, my confidant, and my best friend.

With this ring, I pledge my love and commitment to you for all eternity. I love you now and forevermore" She said and we both shed tears.

Gosh I love her so much!

"Can we have the rings" The priest said and Akshita bhabhi ma came with the rings.

Siya was surprised when she saw bhabhi ma.

"Raghav would you put this ring on Siya's finger and repeat after me" The priest said the words and I repeated after making Siya wear the ring.

"With this ring I pledge my life and love to you" I said.

"Siya now would you repeat after me" I priest said and Siya repeated.

"I accept your ring and your promise of life and love" Siya said.

"Now, Siya would you put this ring on Raghav's finger and repeat after me" He said and Siya repeated.

"With this ring I pledge my life and love to you" She said and made me wear the ring.

"I accept your ring and your promise of life and love" I said.

"Siya and Raghav, you are no longer an independent persons but you are now one. The vows you made today are breakable only by death. May the Lord bless you and be gracious to you. May the love of God and The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Raghav, you may kiss your bride. I'm proud to introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Raghav Singh Raghuvanshi" The priest said and I took a small step near Siya.

I lifted her veil and pulled her into a soft kiss. The kiss was filled with love and commitment. We heard our family cheering and applauding.

"Oh my God I can't believe that happened" Siya jumped on her place in excitement.

"Yes it was ethereal" I said as we went towards our family.

"Congratulations!" Everybody said actually screamed.

"Wow, you all are here. It's a great surprise" Siya said surprised.

"But wait where is Apeksha bhabhi ma?" She asked Veer bhaisa.

"Somebody needed to be home with our parents and kids so she said she'll stay but don't worry she didn't miss the ceremony, I've her here on face time" Veer bhaisa said.

And like that the night went on filled with joy, pleasure and happiness.
