~Anyone can catch your eyes, but it takes someone special to catch your heart~

Ananya's POV

"Are you okay?" Kavya asked me.

"Yeah. I am just feeling a lot of emotions," I said to her. I was nervous, happy, sad, hopeful and many more.

"Don't worry babe. You made the right decision. Siddharth is perfect for you," Kavya smiled.

"I know. I am just nervous about Vikram bhai. I want him here but I don't know, he is still angry with me. I don't know whether he will come or not," I said and tears pooled in my eyes.

"Ananya, don't you dare cry now. I already finished my make up," Sandhya shouted, entering through the room door. I was getting ready in Sandhya's room while Siddharth was getting ready in our room with Harish and Abhi.

If you cannot guess already, yes it is our marriage date. Today, I am going to be Siddharth's wife officially, by law. Riddhant promised me he will come straight to the register office. The last time he called me, I asked him whether Vikram bhai was coming and he said he is not sure.

At least, he didn't said no.

"No, I am not crying," I said, but a tear slipped from my eyes.

"Yeah, I believe you," she said sarcastically and took a cotton bud to wipe the tear. Then, she took some make up and adjusted it. I told her not to put on excessive make up. I just wanted simple make up. I was wearing a red sari which was also simple. Siddharth bought me this sari.

"Babe, you have nothing to worry. Siddharth is a good man and he will be the best for you. And before you tell, I know you are worried about your brother. I prayed to all the Gods that you brother should come. So, don't worry," Sandhya side-hugged me. Kavya joined the hug also.

"Why are you guys hugging without me? Let me join the hug as well," there came Harish. He jogged to us and hugged us all together.

"Ananya, you look so beautiful," Harish gushed as soon as we pulled back from the hug. I blushed because of the compliment. I am not good at receiving compliments, obviously.

"I am so proud of you. You stood strong all this while, even when you had so much of problems going on in your life. I can't express how proud I am of you. I am really happy that you found the happiness that you deserve," Harish said cupping my cheeks, his eyes glossy. His words only brought tears in my eyes. He knew my life A to Z and he said he is proud of me. He doesn't know how much his words mean to me. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back.

"Thank you for always being there Harish. I love you so much," I cried.

"I love you too," he said and patted my back.

"Omg, why are you all making me to cry?" I said, laughing.

"Yeah, but I am forgiving you this time because your speech was really good Harish," Sandhya said wiping a tear from eyes. Sandhya again wiped my tears and adjusted the make up.

"Let's go before someone else comes in and ruin your make up again by making you crying," Sandhya said and we all chuckled.

It was 8 now and we are supposed to be at the register office in an hour. It takes only half an hour to go there. So we had plenty of time. So, we all went inside our room where Siddharth was. He was wearing a black modern Sherwani, looking as handsome as always.

His eyes landed on me as we entered the room. His lips curved up and shot me a breathtaking smile. He got up from the bed and made his way towards me.

"You look beautiful," he said standing right in front of me.

"You don't look bad yourself," I said and his smile got wider.

"I am so lucky to have you," he said and I frowned.

"If I am not beautiful then you are not lucky?" I questioned.

"No baby. I am lucky not only because you are beautiful, but because you are perfect for me," he said.

"Then, tell me this. If in the future I become fat or ugly, will you still love me?" I questioned him.

"Of course I will. What kind of question is this?" he scrunched his eyebrows.

"Hmm, the important kind of question. You'll have to prove me that you will love me no matter what. If you dare stop loving me, I will hunt you down," I warned.

"Not gonna happen," he promised and leaned down to kiss me. Just as his lips were about to touch mine, I moved my face to the left, so his lips touched my right cheek.

"Can't you see there are people around us? They gonna tease us to death," I said and he frowned.

"I am kissing my wife. What does that have to do with them," he whined.

"To be wife, baby. We still have 40 minutes for us to be husband and wife," I retorted and his frown only grew deeper.

"I can't wait to call you mine," he said and hugged me. I hugged him back and whispered, "Just a while, Sid. You have to wait," I teased and he groaned.

"Hello, we are still here you know?" Abhi said making us pull back from the hug.

"Yeah so what? You are always here," Siddharth said.

"Ouch, it hurts Siddharth," he said and pointed to his heart.

"Good. You've been annoying me to death from just now," Siddharth said and I know he doesn't mean that. As much as annoying Abhi can be, Siddharth loves him the most. They have this weird kind of relationship. They don't tell each other that they love them, yet both of them knows it.

"God, I was just excited for you both," Abhi snorted. "But now I know, you all don't have appreciation for me," he said.

"Appreciation? For what? Waking us up at 4am? No thanks bro," Sandhya said.

"Hey you guys take forever to get ready. I didn't want my buddy to be late for his marriage," Abhi fought back.

"Oh yeah? Then why did you woke up Harish and Siddharth at 4am as well? Do they take forever too?" Kavya questioned this time.

"Urmm, I didn't want them to oversleep?" Abhi asked more like a question to himself.

"Right," Harish scowled. Abhi was more excited today compared to Siddharth's birthday. He kind of became hyper that it became difficult for us to control him. If on Siddharth's birthday he woke us up by calling, today he went an extra mile and came straight to our house to wake us up.

"Can you guys like stop blaming me?" Abhi said acting pitiful.

"Yeah stop blaming. Not because he doesn't deserve it, but because we don't have time. We have to move now," Sandhya said and we all nodded. We took all the documents needed like our identification card and all. Me, Siddharth and Harish are going together in Siddharth's car with Harish driving. Sandhya, Kavya and Abhi are going in Abhi's car with him driving.

Siddharth and I sat at the back, together.

"Why are you nervous babe?" Siddharth asked me and I smiled nervously at him.

"Do you think Vikram bhai will be there? The last time I called Riddhant, he said he was not sure. I so badly want him there. What if he is not there? Do you think he is that angry to not come there? What am I talking, of course he is angry. Really angry with me. He hates me. Why would he come there? Why did I even get my hopes high that he will come?" I rambled.

"Ananya, HE will come. Okay? Like he will, why would he not come to witness his sister getting married? No matter how angry he is with you, he will come. So, please stop worrying," he assured me.

"I am sorry. I know I can be annoying when I am nervous," I looked down. I can't help this.

"No, no you are not annoying. Watching you worrying is making me sad. That's why I asked you to stop. I mean you have all rights to be nervous. Its your brother and I know how much he means to you," he said and wrapped his arm around me, pulling me more towards him. I nodded and laid my head on his shoulder.

The more nearer we got towards the register office, the more unsettled I became whether or no Vikram bhai will be there. Siddharth tried to calm me down, but no one, I mean no one can do that to me right now. My emotions are all over the place and my stomach churned. I felt like throwing up, but I knew I cannot. I cannot ruin the day for both of us. So, I tried controlling myself from puking.

It's been long since I puked, my morning sickness kind of stopped and I am so thankful for that. Puking is my worst nightmare. I hate puking because it's like all my inner organs are going to come out through my mouth.

"We are here," Harish announced to both of us and we nodded. Siddharth hold my hand and got me out of the car. I took a look around the place and found our friends standing near the entrance. I didn't find Riddhant or.....

"Come, don't think so much," Siddharth shot me a smile and walked along me. I felt bad because this is supposed to be a happy day for both of us. Not only am I making it sad for me, but for him as well. He is constantly trying to make me feel better and that's not how it is supposed to be like. With that in my mind, I put on a smile as big as I can and walked to my friends.

"Hey!!! You guys ready?" Abhi shouted.

"As ready as I can ever be," I said and he showed me a thumbs up. I was talking to Abhi when I noticed Kavya's eyes widen seeing something behind me. When I was about to turn, someone covered my eyes from behind.

"Guess who," a voice that clearly belongs to Riddhant said.

"Urmm let me guess. Gautam?" I teased him.

"Nooo," I can hear him smiling, thinking I am serious.

"No? Manoj?" I played again.

"No!" he said.

"Urmm, Rahul?" I said again.

"Noooo!!!!" he grumbled. I can't stop laughing anymore so I burst out laughing.

"Of course I know who you are Riddhant," I said and he removed his hands. I turned around and gave him a hug.

"I am happy that you are here Rid," I said and he nodded.

"Don't you want to see who else is here?" he asked and my eyes widened. I pulled back from the hug and saw Vikram bhai standing beside him.

Vikram bhai?

Vikram bhai is here? He is standing beside Rid in a work clothes. He is not smiling at me like he usually will. He is just standing there I am a nobody. His eyes landed on my baby bump. An emotion like sadness crossed his eyes before it quickly went back to cold. Siddharth shook my shoulder to bring me out of my trance.

"You are staring," Siddharth whispered in my ears.

"Bhai?" I called him and he just nodded and went inside the office with my friends following him.

"Rid he won't talk to m-me?" I asked my voice cracking at the end.

"I don't know Ananya. Only at last minute he said he is coming with me. I don't know what made him change his mind," Rid said wrapping his arm around me.

"Ananya don't think about it. You thought he won't even come today. But now he is here. Only a few days and he will be ready to talk to you. The mistake was ours so we have to wait," Siddharth said softly beside me.

"Yeah, Siddharth is correct. You have to wait. Now come on, don't be sad about it on your marriage day," Riddhant exclaimed and nudged me forward. I nodded and take my steps forward with Riddhant at one side and Siddharth at another side.

I went inside and saw Harish was talking to the registrant. I stood in front of the registrant beside Siddharth and our friends and family stood beside at either sides of us.

This is the time.

"The witnesses for you both are here right?" the registrant asked and we nodded.

"Give me you both's identifications. Their witnesses also must give their identifications also," he said. The witness from Siddharth's side was Abhi and from my side it was Riddhant. As much as I want Vikram bhai to sign for me, I know that is too much for me to ask. I looked at Riddhant asking for his identification card and he started looking at his wallet.

"Urmm guys. I think I forgot to bring the card. I am sorry Ananya," Riddhant said and I gave him a are-you-kidding look.

"Riddhant, stop playing please," I warned him.

"I am serious Anu. See," he showed me his wallet and his card was not in here.

"Can't you be serious about anything in your life?" Vikram bhai asked. This is the first time I heard him talking since he came here. The voice that I longed to hear for this four months, the voice that I yearned to call my name. The voice that contained so much of warmness.

"I am sorry bhai. It totally slipped my mind," Rid shot me an apologetic look.

"No identification card means, you cannot register," the registrant said.

"Urmm, bhai you brought your card right? Why don't you sign for them?" Rid asked and sent me wink when Vikram bhai wasn't watching. I think I understand what he is trying to do.

"Yeah, you are her brother too right? You can witness for them," the registrant said. "Give me your identification card," he asked even before Vikram bhai could reply. Vikram bhai grumbled under his breath and looked at me. I put on the most best puppy eyes I could muster. He sighed and got his card from his wallet after shooting a glare at Riddhant. Riddhant made my wish to come true. I wanted Vikram bhai to be a part of this, so Riddhant did this.

He did this on purpose. He acted like forgetting it so that Vikram bhai will sign for me. Even though he didn't sign willingly like I wished, at least now he will sign for the sake of me.

"Alright, do you Siddharth Malhotra take Ananya Varma as your wedded wife?" the registrant asked.

"I do," Siddharth said holding my hand in his.

"Do you Ananya Varma take Siddharth Malhotra as your wedded husband?" he asked me and I said yes.

"Do you Abhimanyu Singh and Vikram Varma agree to witness both of them getting married lawfully?" the registrant asked again. (A/N: I don't know how this works. Sorry)

"Yes," both of them said and I smiled. This is happening at last.

"Alright, I request both of you to sign here," the registrant pointed to a space in the book and we both signed there. Then, he turned towards Abhi and Vikram bhai and they did the same.

"Congratulations. You both are officially husband and wife," the registrant smiled at us and we returned one. "You have to wait for half an hour to collect your certificate," he said and we nodded. Riddhant came forward and hugged me tightly.

"You owe me one," he whispered in my ears.

"I definitely owe you one. Thank you so much," I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks. I finally got married in front of the people I loved. I am sure my mom is watching me from up and is happy for me.

"Stop crying. Now go, get his blessings," Riddhant said. I was really nervous to do this. What is he shouts at me in front of everyone? Or what if he slaps me? No he won't. He had never laid an hand on me. But, on the other end, I've never gotten pregnant either. I slowly walked towards him until I was right in front of me.

Here goes nothing.

"Bhai," I called him and he watched me with an unreadable emotion in his eyes. I know he is sad and hurt as well, because he is acting cold to me. But, this was my mistake. I bent down and was about to touch his leg, when his hand hold onto my shoulder and he made me stand straight. That is it, I hugged him tightly. I don't care what he will do after this, but I just want to hug him now.

I hugged him and sobbed on his chest. At first, I can feel his entire body stiffened and he didn't hug me back. Then, after a while, his hand reached up to my back and he patted it awkwardly.

"I am sorry bhai. I love you so much. Thank you for coming. It means a lot," I said still hugging him. He nodded and I pulled back from the hug. The small amount of make up I had was ruined now because of crying, but I don't care. I am freaking happy that I get to hug him after this four months.

"Take care and be happy," he said looking straight in my eyes and he went out of the register office. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Siddharth seeing me with a smile. I hugged him tightly and cried again. This time, because of happiness. He came to my marriage, he signed as a witness for me, he hugged me and at last he talked to me. I felt so happy that I couldn't control my tears.

"I know baby. It is all going to okay soon. Real soon," Siddharth cooed in my ear and I nodded in his chest. I pulled back and he wiped my tears with a tissue.

"No matter how much I wanted to protect your make-up, it is ruined in the end. Lesson learned," Sandhya teased and I chuckled. She hugged me and wished me a congratulations. Everyone else did the same with me and Siddharth.

"Let's go party!!!! My bro has finally got married," Abhi screamed. We all waited for a while to collect our marriage certificate. After that, we went to have lunch together. The rest of the day went us celebrating our marriage. Riddhant also joined us and we all were happy together.

It was really good, having them with me.
