Gowthami felt a wave of shame wash over her as she watched the scene unfold, realizing how their tender moment had quickly turned into a spectacle for the others. She bit her lip, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment, and lowered her gaze to the floor, unable to meet Rajeev's eyes. It wasn't supposed to be like this; their love was something sacred, something she wanted to cherish in the privacy of their own hearts, not paraded around as fodder for playful teasing.
Sashi, ever the mischievous spirit, caught onto Gowthami's discomfort and couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. "Oh, look at this!" she teased, her voice laced with humor. "Our Gowthami's gone all shy. Better store that blush for your wedding night, dear. You'll need it!" Sashi's words hung in the air, a mix of lighthearted fun and undeniable truth, making Gowthami's heart race even faster.
Rajeev, standing just a few feet away, felt a pang of anxiety twist in his gut at Sashi's words. He had been so eager to share that intimate moment with Gowthami, to express his love in a way that words could never quite capture. But now, with everyone watching and laughing, he felt the weight of expectation pressing down on him. The teasing, while harmless, only heightened his own nervousness about the impending marriage.
Abhi and Ram were quick to jump in, their eyes gleaming with mischief as they caught the tension in Rajeev's posture. "Oh, look at him," Ram began, nudging Abhi with a grin. "He's turning as red as a tomato. Our brave Rajeev, reduced to a nervous wreck at the thought of a kiss. What's the matter, brother? Second thoughts already?"
Abhi laughed, clapping Rajeev on the shoulder in a friendly, yet teasing manner. "You know what they say, Rajeev," he said with a mock-serious tone, "your time is up. You've had your fun, but now it's time to head out. Brother, you have to depart so that I may see your spouse entering the place of worship."
Rajeev groaned, rolling his eyes at their antics, but there was no denying the hint of unease that lingered beneath the surface. He glanced over at Gowthami, who was still looking down, her fingers nervously playing with the edge of her saree. The sight made his heart ache; he wanted nothing more than to reassure her, to tell her that everything would be okay, that their love would stand strong no matter what. But before he could say anything, Abhi grabbed his arm and began pulling him away.
"The marriage processes are about to start," Abhi said, his voice filled with a mixture of excitement and urgency. "You must proceed and arrive at your place to complete them."
Rajeev stumbled slightly as Abhi tugged him toward the door, casting one last, longing glance at Gowthami. Her eyes finally met his, and in that brief exchange, he tried to convey all the things he couldn't say out loud: his love, his nervousness, his hope for their future together. Gowthami's lips curved into a small, understanding smile, and she gave a tiny nod, as if to say, *I know, and I feel the same.*
With that silent communication, Rajeev allowed himself to be led out of the room, his heart heavy but also full of determination. This was it—the beginning of the rest of their lives. As he stepped out, the laughter and teasing of his friends fading behind him, he felt a surge of resolve. No matter what happened, he would be there for Gowthami, supporting her, loving her, and building a life with her. And when the time came, he would face the rituals and the responsibilities of marriage with her by his side, ready to start their journey together as husband and wife.
everyone else had already left. Gowthami had entered the area through Sashi.
Sashi noticed the package in her hand. "Gowtami what is this parcel."
"These are the garment and jewelry belonged to Rajeev's mother, and he requested me to don them to our wedding." She then pointed to the box.
"That is wonderful, wow. Please allow me to look. "
Gowthami handed Sashi the gift and said, "Yes."
"Wow, these are typical seven-week jewelry, "Sashi said as she opened the package.
"Seven weeks jewellery?"
"Yes, these pieces were referred to as "seven weeks jewelry."
"Could you please tell me what they are?"
In the past, kings wore gold in accordance with the days of the week to attract energy in accordance with heavenly effects, to avoid bad impacts, and to stay well, sound, and rich.
Every day of the week is represented by a different piece of jewelry in the phrase "seven weeks jewelry." There are hardly any people left who still follow this outdated standard.
Sunday: Ruby earrings and chains are worn as this is the day of the sun (Planet Surya). The Sun and the sparkling Ruby have a close bond. You must make an effort to use this crystal to recover your energy, desire, willpower, freedom, and leadership qualities.
Monday: Wear pearl chains and rings on this day as it is the moon's (Planet Chandra) day. Moon and the beautiful Pearl are linked. You've always been a grumpy, lonely, and scared person. Let this rock to help you in getting ideal physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.
Tuesday: On this day, which honors the Mars (Kujuda) planet , chains and rings set with red coral jewels are traditionally worn. The beautiful Red Coral is meant to help you deal with the difficult situations brought on by Mars' arrival into your life. Go all-out to recover your courage, vivacity, and balance.
Wednesday is the day of Mercury (the planet of the Buddha). On this day, earrings, charms, and bands made of green emeralds are worn. The sole jewel that can improve a weak Mercury in your birth chart is emerald. To improve your memory, reasoning, speech skills, and behavior, ask it for assistance.
Thursday: This is the day of Jupiter (Planet Brihaspati), and yellow sapphire earrings and rings are typically worn on this day. Jupiter's or Dev Guru's stone is the attractive Yellow Sapphire. He will agree to rebuild your confidence, intelligence, drive, and joy, opening the door to financial security and a life full with meaning.
Friday: Venus Day (Planet Sukra). Diamond nose rings and chains are worn on this day. You will become as smooth, charming, polished, and precious as the diamond itself.
On Saturdays, the day of Saturn (Planet Shani), jewelry made of blue sapphire jewels is worn on the neck, ears, and nose. Your self-worth, drive, financial security, calm, and patience will all be helped by the gem.
According to tradition, the gods favor women who wear gold for seven days straight in order to live a happy, full life. This is why they go by the name "Seven Week Gems."
After hearing them, Gowthami noted that they were "very intriguing."
Sashi says that it is a custom.

The two are sitting next to one another in their room. Uma questioned Gurdeep about the reasons for his choice to accept of Rajeev's marriage.
" Even the most basic facts about her family and upbringing are unknown. According to Rajeev, who said that he had brought her to a center for treatment, she seemed to have lost her memory. He said that he had been unable to call her family members. When she visited Gowthami, she couldn't remember her name. He is your teacher Jaishankar's grandson, and when his family moved, we were left behind. Why do you still say nothing in this situation?"
"What did you think?" Gurdeep questioned after breathing deeply.
" He is not my type, uma. Vedhika refused to allow me join her to the city when Jaishankar passed away, despite my pleas. Following the passing of Vedhika, Rajeev refused to go with me, saying that he needed to take care of his brother and didn't want to leave Ram by alone. They both said no to going to the city with me, even though I promised to bring ram. Better yet, I was able to get them all accepted into medical schools. He built a little clinic and earned the respect of everyone in the neighborhood after ending his training in this field. When I heard about the link, I went to him and told him that I didn't believe it was right for him to marry that girl. "
..
"Uncle, I haven't questioned you since I was a small child," Rajeev stated. "It's the first time in my life that I'm requesting your consent to marry you, and it's the only favor you'll ever have to do for me."
...
"At his wedding, Rajeev asked me to stand in for his folks, and I agreed. How can I say no to his request? Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to find the Gowthami family. The Saint suddenly made a showing at the hospital the day before I got Rajeev's offer. When I asked about Rajeev's life, the saint said that Gowthami was the right match and would always look out for him. She stands up for him. As a result, I approved of his marriage."
" What was being said ? about the saint who had helped us in starting the clinic in the city"? Uma asked a question.
Gurdeep was ready to accept the terrible truth
" I had run into him the day I left for the town. In addition to asking me to the wedding and telling me about Gowthami, he had come over."
Uma started to guess about who the protagonist was.
" Every time we need him, he emerges, shows us the way, and then vanishes."
Gurdeep urged his wife to "stop worrying about all of these things and to simply relax and keep working" since they had a lot of work to accomplish and little time for marriage.
