Chapter 51: chapter 51

     The reception venue shimmered in soft   golden lighting, with cascading floral decor and chandeliers twinkling like stars. A gentle instrumental of violins and piano filled the air as the emcee announced the moment everyone had been waiting for.The spotlight shifted, and the crowd turned toward the grand entrance.Amar stepped out first, dashing and poised in a light beige sherwani with subtle embroidery and satin detailing that caught the light just right. His look was modern yet regal, effortlessly complementing his bride. He wore a soft smile, exuding confidence and calm, his eyes clearly scanning ahead for just one person.And then—she appeared.Rhea walked in like a dream. Draped in a breathtaking pastel pink gown, the fabric flowed like water with every step. Tiny pink diamonds studded along the bodice and sleeves shimmered under the lights, giving her an ethereal glow. Her hair was styled in soft waves, cascading over one shoulder, and her makeup was elegant—a soft blush on her cheeks, nude lips, and eyes that sparkled with anticipation. A delicate diamond necklace and matching earrings completed her look, along with a pair of rose-gold heels that clicked lightly with each step.Amar extended his hand, and Rhea took it with a soft smile that lit up the entire hall.As they walked in together, the guests applauded, and rose petals rained gently from above. Their chemistry was effortless—he led with grace, and she followed with poise. They made their way to the stage, where they were greeted with love, laughter, and countless flashing cameras.It wasn’t just an entry—it was a statement. A perfect blend of romance, elegance, and celebration, marking the beginning of their life as husband and wife in front of all who cherished them.Naveen and Rithesh shouted in glee and Ajinkya claps his hands looking at his uncle's reaction. Ratim tries to control him but in vain. Arrea too was all smiles looking at the colourful lights, who is still in Adi's arms. The reception started and all the guests were wishing the couples. Rhea was all exhausted and couldn't keep up her smile anymore. Looking at her exhausted face, Amar gestures Naveen and Naveen comes behind the dyce. Amar turns and whisper something to Naveen. Naveen comes after 5 minutes with a glass of juice. Amar leans towards Rhea, and all these comes as their beautiful picture. Rhea turns where their eyes met, both loose themselves in their eyes for a couple of minutes. Amar" Rhea just turn towards the back side of the stage". Rhea with confused look asks how? Amar" Naveen will take the stage for a few minutes you turn?". Rhea " But why?".  Amar" just turn ". Rhea sighs and turns towards the back side of the dyce, from nowhere Naveen gets in and make the guests engaged with his jokes.   Amar holds the glass and ask Rhea to drink, Rhea denies and tries to drink taking the glass in her hands. Then fearing it would strain her dress if spilled, she looks up at him with a conrer of the mouth turned down. Amar finds her amusing, suddenly the thought came rushing " you find it amusing now, but didn't you think she was pretending to stay in good books". He licks his lips in frustration upon himself. Rhea feels thirsty but her situation puts up in a tight spot, she puts up a pity face and looks for Amar who is lost in thoughts. Rhea pulls his sleeves, Amar gets back to his sense and raises his eyebrows at her. She puts back the glass in his hands, and bends down. He holds up quite tilted for her to make it easy. Rhea empties the glass and searches for the kerchief to clean her lips. Amar takes his kerchief and dabs without smudging her lipstick. Rhea eyes widened and disbelief over his actions. Far away Adi and Smitha make a note of it. Adi " didn't I say, it will work". Smitha sheds happy tears. Did you kept me  away from Rhea ? for this reason??? from the moment we came to the wedding venue. Adi smiles and answers yes.... Rhea feels quite embarrassed and takes the kerchief from him and continues to do it for herself and keep the kerchief for herself thanking him. As soon as the couples turn facing the guests, Naveen moves away and the photo session continues. Arjun comes with Rhea and Arrea. Both Rhea have a chit chat for a while. Finally Rhea Ray says okay Jasmine, come to Bangalore with your family. Let's have fun together. Rhea agrees with smile. Naveen who was also standing along with them says Mam looking at Rhea Ray, Rhea Ray glares at him. Fine sister, I just pulled your legs. But still don't you think it's too much to call this short haired Rhea as Jasmine. Rhea keeps staring at him with her small eyes. Naveen laughs at her and the entire ambiance is filled with their laughter. As all busy themselves to empty the hall, Arjun takes Amar aside. Whereas Smitha keeps feeding Rhea. And the rest people having their food. Arrea playing with Ajinkya under Adi's and Ratim's care. Where Adi and Ratim was discussing business. A Revenge...
