Chapter 14

Kiara has engaged three weeks after. She was now preparing for her wedding. Our house was filled with families and friends all in their best dresses to witness Kiara’s wedding. All the rituals were performed. The ritual of applying turmeric mixture on the body of the bride and groom and the faces of others. The ritual of mehndi writing on the hands and feet of the bride and other rituals were performed successfully. On the day of the wedding, Kiara was dressed up so beautifully, she looked gorgeous in her bridal saree. Ranveer was brought to the event on a horse as a ritual.
