Chapter 32 - After 5 Years (Wedding & Reunion)

Five years later…

The wedding venue looked like something out of a dream. Soft fairy lights, white flowers, elegant décor… everything had a calm, romantic aura—just like a Korean drama. It was Priyanka and Aditya's wedding day.

Inside the bridal room, Priyanka sat quietly, dressed beautifully, her eyes slightly nervous but glowing.

"Why are you so tense?" Aditi asked softly.

Priyanka smiled faintly. "It feels unreal…"

Aditi held her hand. "It's real. And it's your happy ending."

At the entrance, Abhi stepped out of his car. Dressed in a formal black suit, he looked calm, confident… but his eyes searched for someone.

And then—Swati arrived.

In a soft pastel outfit, simple yet elegant.

Their eyes met.

Everything slowed down.

No sound. No crowd.

Just them.

"Hi…" Abhi said gently.

"Hi…" Swati replied, her voice soft.

A small silence… filled with five years of unsaid emotions.

During the wedding rituals, the music played softly. Priyanka and Aditya exchanged warm smiles. As part of a playful moment, Aditya leaned closer and whispered something. Priyanka blushed.

"Not here," she said quietly.

Aditya smiled and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Everyone cheered lightly.

Swati stood watching the ceremony when Abhi came and stood beside her.

"Still emotional during weddings?" he asked.

She smiled. "Always."

A pause followed. Then suddenly, Rohit gave a light push from behind.

"Stop staring and do something," he whispered teasingly.

Before Swati could react, Abhi gently held her wrist and pulled her slightly aside.

"Abhi—" she started.

But he stepped closer.

"Five years is too long," he said softly. "I don't want to waste any more time."

Swati didn't move. Didn't step back.

Slowly, Abhi leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her.

Swati closed her eyes for a second. When she opened them, she smiled.

"You're still the same," she said.

Abhi smirked. "Only with you."

Back at the mandap, Priyanka and Aditya completed their vows. As everyone clapped, Aditya held Priyanka's hand and pulled her closer, giving her a soft, quick kiss. Cheers and laughter filled the air, and Priyanka hid her face, blushing.

Night fell. Lights glowed brighter. Music got louder. But in between all that noise, some moments stayed quiet and meaningful.

Swati looked at Abhi. "So… what now?"

Abhi extended his hand. "Now… we don't separate again."

She looked at his hand, then held it. "Okay."

Under the soft lights, among laughter, love, and new beginnings, two stories continued—one just started, and one restarted.

To be continued…
