Azar’s POV
And don’t forget, the marriage is in four days. So, hurry, old man.” She was scolding Grandfather, and I smirked at his situation. It’s good to know someone can shut Grandfather down.
“Ara Language.” We hear her mom’s voice from behind.
She again pouted like a child and looked at Grandfather, and he was smiling at her like a madman.
I went to Ara’s father and said, “Sorry, this all is happening like this,” before I said anything further. He stopped me and held my hand.
“Azar, you do not know how happy we are. And today or after four days, it matters nothing to us. What matters is that you will be our son. That is, it. And I will do anything to see my kids happy.” He looked at me and Ara.
“Today, you and Ara made me so proud. She told me how you both decided this; you have solved a big problem with this decision instantly. I am so proud of you.” He spoke, raising his chin in pride.
I looked at Ara. She was looking everywhere but at me. This cute little liar will be seen later.
I look back at Ara’s father and nod. “Thank you so much, uncle.”
“Oh, come on, son, now call me Dad, Father, or Papa, whatever you feel like,” he said, holding my shoulder.
I nodded and said, “Father.”
“Now come on, Rakesh has to go back to his office. I called him urgently in the middle of his meeting. He left all the work and came running for us,” Father said, holding him on his shoulder.
“Oh, shut up, man; you are my family. I will always be there for you.” He said this, putting his hand on his father’s shoulder.
I looked at Mr. Agarwal and said, “I do not know how grateful I am, e.”
“Oh, come on, son, you are now family, so don’t bother yourself. Now let us start the procedure.”
He went towards the sofa, pulled a file from his bag, and asked us to sit on the other side of the sofa.
Ara was completely avoiding me, and I could feel that. How long are you going to do that, little brat? I thought internally and smirked.
We sat on the sofa. She took the pen in her hand, paused for a second, and finally looked at me. I smiled a little and nodded to her; she nodded back, looked down, and signed the documents. She gave the pen to me, and without a second thought, I signed it.
After her father came and signed, and Mr. Agarwal took a file to her grandfather, and I could see tears in his eyes looking at us, he took the pen and signed it.
Mr. Agarwal came back and congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Oldenburg. He wished me and Ara well together.
Hearing Mrs. Oldenburg made her blush hard.
“Not so soon.” We hear Aunt Nina’s voice, and she comes to me and gives me a box. I opened the box and noticed the nuptial chain and one more box in her hand, and I guess Kumkum. (vermilion)
I looked at Aunt Nina with a confused face, and she said, “Ara told us what you both had decided before coming to the room to meet Sire. So, I send driver home to bring these things as soon as possible. And here it is.” Then I realise why there isn’t a ring around. Well as Grandfather decided to do the Indian style wedding and this is one of the most important rituals in marriage in India.
I again looked at my little liar, and again she was looking everywhere. Then I bit her lower lips.
I nodded in agreement and took the nuptial chain. I looked at Ara, and she was looking down, still biting her lips.
I looked, and grandpa, and everyone was looking at us admiringly, and Mason was ready with his phone camera. I shook my head, thinking he was a hopeless case, and he winked at me in response.
I looked back at Ara, and she was still doing the same.
She was wearing a beautiful peach colour dress and looked alluring.
I went near her ear, looking at us people, thinking I was trying to tie the nuptial chain, but I had an original plan. I whisper in her ear, “My Queen, you know it is only my right to bite them, right”? Hearing this, she instantly released her lip and became my pink tomato again.
I tie the nuptial chain and look back at Aunt Nina. I take a pinch of vermilion and put it in her hair.
She closed her eyes in anticipation. Oh good, she looks so beautiful in this red color in her hair, and the proof she is mine is all mine, and I could not resist her and kissed her forehead in front of everyone.
I hear cheering and whistling from everyone, especially Mason.
She looked at me with a shocked face, and I winked at her and looked at everyone like nothing had happened.
We took blessings from her parents, Mr. Agarwal, who is a family friend, and Aunt Nina, as they were all near us and went towards Grandfather.
“Now are you happy?” I asked Grandfather, while holding his hand,
“You do not know how happy I am, Azar. You both made me the happiest person on this earth today.” He cleared his tears from the back of his hand.
“Grandfather, we fulfilled your wish; now you also have to do what we want.” Ara said, looking at Grandfather,
“I am ready, princess. Tell the doctor to prepare. We will do surgery today itself, so I will get well soon, and if possible, I will attain your marriage as well. I want to see all the rituals.” Grandfather spoke, looking happy as a kid.
“Moreover, now I have to get fit and fine as soon as possible. I have to see my great-grandchildren as well.” Saying this, he smirks at us.
