Billionaire’s Love From India

Lavanya in the red saree, her hair partition filled with vermillion, the nuptial chain around her neck, and the Chura on both her hands were making her look gorgeous. The sound of her anklets as she walked was like music to Eden’s ears. This was the look he wanted to see Lavanya in.

Daksh looked at Eden and snapped his fingers in front of him. “I know she is yours, and you have all the rights to look at her, but do it when you’re alone. Not while sitting with elders.”

Lavanya walked inside the living room.

“Lavanya, you look so pretty in this look.” Kristina complimented her. Sakshi came to Lavanya, asking her and Eden to pray to God before starting the post-wedding rituals.

They prayed to God, and Sakshi asked them to sit opposite each other in front of a huge pot filled with water in which milk and rose petals were added to reduce the transparency of the water.

Eden was confused because he didn’t have any idea what to do with it. Jaime, Ray, Kristina, and Edward were excited to see this ritual.

“Eden and Lavanya, you both have to find this ring from this water. It is believed that whoever will find the ring more time will rule the household. You both will get three chances.” Sakshi showed the ring to both of them.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Mom, can I do this?” Daksh sat beside Sakshi.

“Of course.” Sakshi handed the ring to him. Daksh winked at Lavanya, and she understood that Daksh would make her win this game.

Daksh put his hand inside the water with the ring and started pretending to leave the ring in the water. He finally pulled out his hand, leaving the ring on Lavanya’s side so that she could easily find it. They both put their hands inside the water and started searching for the ring.

Jaime was cheering for Eden, seeing Niharika cheering for Lavanya while Kristina, Edward, and Ray were excitedly witnessing the game. Lavanya pulled out her hand as she found the ring and smiled proudly.

Lavanya won the next round too, with the help of Daksh, and no one knew that Daksh was making her win by cheating. “Brother, last round left. You have to win it.” Jaime sat beside Eden.

Daksh put his hand inside the water for the third round but didn’t leave the ring inside the water. He pulled out his hand, making it into a fist, keeping the ring in his hand. They both started finding the ring but didn’t get anything after a minute of searching. Daksh laughed, looking at them. “What are you both trying to find? The ring is still in my hand.”

Everyone laughed at Daksh’s prank, and Daksh left the ring inside the water. Lavanya found the ring this time too but secretly placed it in Eden’s hand to make him win one round. Daksh was a little surprised to find the ring in his hand, but he was happy because Lavanya won as she was in the lead. “Good luck, Brother-in-law. My sister will rule your life.”

Niharika removed the pot from there. “Eden, now you’ve to find your name in Lavanya’s Henna.” Sakshi instructed Eden.

In the evening, Lavanya was all ready for their wedding reception, wearing a peach color gown with Eden wearing the same color tie. They reached the venue with Daksh and Niharika. All the guests and relatives were congratulating them as they sat on the decorative couch. Daksh came to them. “It’s your special day. You both should share a beautiful dance.”

Eden smiled at Lavanya. “Let’s fulfill your dream of performing waltz at our wedding.”

They stepped down from the stage. An Indian romantic song was played, and they both started moving perfectly in waltz steps. They finished their dance and were enjoying the function with their friends and family when Ray came to them. “Hey, I need help from both of you.”

“What can we do for you?” Lavanya asked him.

Ray looked at Jaime, who was standing with Niharika, and then back at Lavanya and Eden. “I…I wish to pro…propose to Jaime. I will not get a better chance, but I don’t want to steal your limelight. That’s why I am asking you both.”

Eden raised his eyebrows. “You want to propose to my sister at my wedding reception.”

Lavanya chuckled. “Let him do it, Eden. Jaime will be so happy.” She turned to Ray. “Go Ahead.”

Ray went ahead and took the mic in his hand. Eden wrapped his arm around Lavanya’s waist, pulling her closer to him while looking at Ray as he grabbed everyone’s attention towards him. “Excuse me, Ladies and Gentlemen. First, I would like to congratulate my sister and brother-in-law.”

Lavanya smiled, and Ray continued. “I have witnessed the beautiful love between the couples during this wedding. It makes me believe that we all want a life partner to share our life with, and I have decided that today, I will propose to the girl I want to share my life with.”

Jaime felt her heartbeat racing while Kristina, Edward, and Lavanya cheered for them. Ray called Jaime on the stage. She shyly walked on the stage. Ray held her hand. “Jaime, I have always dreamt of spending my life with you ever since we confessed our love to each other. Will you be a part of my life and be with me forever to share our lives together?”

Ray retrieved a red velvet box from his pocket and opened the box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. Jaime covered her mouth in surprise. He got down on one knee. “Will you marry me, Jaime?”

Jaime happily nodded her head. “Yes.”

Ray slid the ring on her finger and hugged her. Lavanya reached to them with Eden. “Congratulations to both of you.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.” Jaime hugged her and Eden.

Everyone congratulated them, and the reception ended on a happy note. Jaime, Ray, Kristina, and Edward left for London after two days.

***

Lavanya was enjoying evening tea with everyone. They all were happily talking about Lavanya and Eden’s wedding when Lavanya said, “Mom, I think we should go back to London.”

Sakshi and Daksh became a little sad hearing her. Aakash looked at her. “Why do you want to go back suddenly?”

Lavanya sat beside Aakash. “We don’t want to go, but we have to go because of Eden’s work as lots of things are there which need his attention.”

“We will not stop you from going, but Diwali(An Indian festival) is coming. Stay a little longer to celebrate Diwali with us.” Sakshi looked at her in hope.
