After their Christian wedding, the church bells were still echoing in everyone's ears. Confetti was stuck in Jungkook's hair, Taehyung was holding his bowtie, and the whole family was glowing with that post-wedding happiness.

Both went to hotel room to change their dresses.

Inside, Sana stood in front of the mirror and took a deep breath. She wore beautiful pink color banarasi sari with beautiful golden traditional royal jewelry sindur mangalsutra and chuda. The pink of the silk made her skin glow, the golden zari work caught the light every time she moved. Her hair was tied in a low bun with gajra, maang tikka sat perfectly on her forehead, and her hands - full of fresh mehendi - were heavy with red and white chuda. She looked like she'd stepped out of a painting.

In the other room, Suga was doing his pagdi. He wore golden sherwani with pink color flower work and pink pagdi with golden work on pagdi. The sherwani had tiny embroidery that matched Sana's sari, the pink pagdi sat slightly tilted on his head like only Suga could pull off. He looked tall, calm, and unfairly handsome. Royal aesthetic king and queen vibes - that's exactly what they were giving.

When they came out after getting fully ready everyone stood their while adoring them. The hallway went quiet for two full seconds.

Vminkook-: wow. Beautiful.

V said it first, then immediately covered his mouth like he wasn't supposed to be so loud. Jimin was already tearing up. Jungkook just stared, then nodded seriously.

Nam-: they're made for each other

He said it softly, but everyone heard. Because it was true.

Both moms became emotional. Sana's mom pressed her dupatta to her eyes. Suga's mom reached out and adjusted Sana's pallu, her fingers trembling.

Jin-: (dramatically) haaye my babies. Kisi ki nazar na lge.

He actually did the evil-eye gesture and then blew a kiss at them.

Then everyone sat in the cars and went to sana's home. The convoy was long. Cars decorated with flowers, people honking happily.

20mins later.

Everyone reached at Sana's home. Fairy lights were everywhere. Marigold garlands, pink and gold drapes, a small mandir decorated in the courtyard. The whole street looked festive.

Suga came out first then opened the door for her precious wife sana then helped her coming out by giving his hand. His hand was warm and steady. Sana came out and saw her home which was beautifully decorated. Her eyes immediately filled. This was her childhood home, and today she was coming back as a bride.

Then both saw both moms were standing at the door sana's mom holding aarti ki thali in her hand. Diya was burning, rice and kumkum were in small bowls, the smell of incense in the air.

Suga and sana went to them and stood their with the smile. Nervous, happy, tired, but smiling.

At first sana's mom did their aarti, moving the thali in circles, then fed sweet in their mouth. The boondi laddoo was sweet and it made Sana tear up more.

Later Suga's mom did the same. She cupped Sana's face and fed her, then did the same for Suga.

Then sana's mom put the kalash filled with rice and plate filled with alta at the enterence floor. The kalash was brass, filled to the top. The alta was bright red.

Sana's mom-: chlo sana. Ab tum iss kalash ko apne right pair se girao fir iss alte ke thaal mei apna pair rkhna aur fir ander aana.

Sana smiled and did same as her mom instructed. She kicked the kalash gently - it tipped with a soft sound, rice scattered. Then she stepped into the alta, red prints forming on her feet, and walked inside. Each footprint looked like a promise.

Then sana's mom brought a plate filled with haldi water. The water was yellow and smelled faintly of turmeric.

Sana's mom-: ab apna hath iss haldi ke ghol mei dalo aur haldi ka chhaap yha iss mandir ke deewaar pr lga do.

Sana smiled and did the same. She dipped her palm and pressed it on the temple wall near the door. A bright yellow handprint.

Then bride and groom entered in the temple then took blessing for having good health wealth prosperity wellbeing happy married life and happy and beautiful family from the gods. They folded their hands, bowed their heads. Suga whispered a small prayer in Korean, Sana whispered in Hindi.

They also took blessings from their parents and all elders who were present their by touching their feets. Sana touched Sana's mom's feet first, then Suga's parents. Suga did the same, bending down carefully in his sherwani.

Vminkook-: (curiously) aunty yeh sb jo hua yeh sb kya hai? Yeh sb kyu krte hai.

Taehyung was genuinely curious, head tilted.

Sana's mom-: (smiled) hmare hindu tradition mei bride and groom are treated as divine gods. Brides are treated as mata lakshmi (god of wealth and prosperity) while grooms are treated as bhagwaan vishnu(jagatpeeta jagdishwar). And when we do their aarti it means we're welcoming gods to our home, feeding sweets means filling their life with love and sweetness, when brides push down the kalash filled with akshat (rice) that means our home will never left empty and will always filled with wealth and prosperity. When she puts her hand in haldi water and put her hand imprints on temple wall while enter after dipping her leg in alta water it means mata lakshmi has finally entered in our home and now home will be happy prosperous and full of love and divinity.

Listening this bts boys and suga's parents were highly impressed by hindu tradition as it teaches how to respect girls and brides. They were highly impressed knowing that girls are treated as goddesses since birth. they're not only being respected but also worshipped in the society. Suga's dad nodded slowly, looking at Sana with new respect. Namjoon was already making mental notes.

Then everyone sat down together on the carpet in the living room. Plates of snacks came out.

5mins later.

Y/n and sana's both sister came with a bowl filled with milk and rose petals. They put that bowl on the table and sat with the excitement. The milk was cold, rose petals were floating.

Sana's younger sister-: ok. Now here comes most interesting and important game cum tradition.

Y/n-: the rule is simple. This is the ring. I'll be putting inside this bowl and suga bhaiya and sana bhabhi has to search the ring. Whoever search the ring first will be winner.

Sana's elder sister-: aur jo jeetega ghr pr ussi ka raj chlega. So all the best.

She dropped a small diamond ring into the bowl. It disappeared under the petals.

Then she put the ring in the bowl and both started searching the ring. Hands went in together, splashing milk. When they were searching the ring in between suga held sana's hand tightly under the water. This made sana heart beat increased. She tried to loosen the grip. Her eyes went wide at him.

When sana requested him to leave her hand through her eyes, he left her hand and slide the ring under her hand. His fingers brushed hers one last time.

Sana got happy and excited after finding the ring.

Sana-: [ full of joy and excitement showing the ring.] hurray. Maine khoj liya.

She held it up, dripping milk.

Y/n-: I knew it bhabhi. Congrats. ab toh aapka hi raj hoga ghr mei. Ab mzaa aayega.[Hugging]

Suga-: [in low voice] vaise bhi meri dil aur zindagi mei issi ka raj hai.

Sana blushed. Her cheeks went pink under all the jewelry.

Sana's dad-: chlo bchcho. Tumlog thk gye hoge jaakr ab sojao. Kl fir aur bhi bchi hue rasamein krne hai.

Everyone stood up, stretching. It had been a long day.

Then saga were going to their room. Side by side, holding hands for one second before letting go.

Sana's mom-: stop. Udhar dono kaha jaarhe ho

Both stopped immediately.

Suga-: aapne hi toh bola sojao. Toh sone jaarhe hai.

Suga's mom-: (pointed at suga's bhabhi and sana) tum dono sath sogi. (pointing at Suga and her elder brother) yeh dono sath soyenge.

Suga-: what? Why?

Suga's mom-: zyada ques mt kro. Yeh hmare ghr ka riwaaz hai. Jbtk sara rasam khtm nhi hojata tbtk sath mei nhi sona Hai. Reception ke baad suhagraat hoga tb dono sath soge. Uske pehle alg rho.

Girls giggled while suga was annoyed. Sana tried to hide her smile behind her pallu.

Suga-: yeh Kya mom? Kya nya nya rasam laarhi ho. Mai nhi maanta inn sbko.

Suga's mom-: aisa kaise nhi maanoge. [Holding her pink sleepers in her hand]

Suga-: acha theek hai. So jaunga bhaiya ke sath. Itna gussa kya krrhe ho. Jb dekho maarne peetne pr utar aati ho.[scared]

Then sana and his bhabhi giggled and went inside the room to sleep. The door closed behind them.

Suga-: (blabbering) mai iss ghr ka chhotta beta hoo aur meri koi izzt hi nhi hai. Jb dekho mummy papa sb mujhpr hi saare niyam laagu krte hai. bhaiya ke Shadi mei toh aisa koi niyam laagu nhi tha. mere hi time sbko nye nye rasam krwana hai aur niyam laagu krna hai. Inn sbko toh bs mauka chahiye mujhe meri biwi se dur krne ka. Mere pyaar ke dushman. Meri toh zindagi hi barbaad hogyi. { fake crying}

He was walking toward the guest room, dragging his feet.

Jhope-:( judgemental mode ) yeh kya aap khud mei hi barbaraa{blabbering} rhe ho. Thoda tez bolo. Mai bhi sunu aapki dukh bhari kahani.

Suga's bhai-: sahi bole thoda tez bolna mujhe bhi sunna hai.

Suga gave him criminal offensive side eye.

Suga-: chup kro. Chupchap sone chlo. Vrna room se nikal dunga.

Suga's brother-: pr. Voh mera room hai.

Suga-: haa toh. Yeh mera sasural hai. Mtlb yeh pura ghr mera hai. Toh zyada gussa mt dilao mai nikal skta ho.

Suga's brother-:(dramatically) arey yaar. Mummy papa aapdono isko sana se dur sulaa rhe hai. Aur suga saara gussa mujh pr nikal rha hai. Arey yaar sula dona dono premi jodo ko saath mei.

Suga's mom-: soye nhi dono.

Both-: jaarhe hai mummy. Sone.

Then both went to sleep. Suga flopped onto the bed dramatically. His brother took the other side, far away.

Across the hall, Sana was already half asleep, leaning on her bhabhi's shoulder. She whispered in English, "He's so dramatic."

Her bhabhi whispered back, "And he loves you so much."

Outside, Delhi was quiet. Inside, a king and queen had just come home. And even with all the rules and rituals, everyone could see it - Sana is suga's first and only love. He's obsessed with sana.

And tomorrow, there were more rituals. But tonight, for a few hours, they just got to rest.
