Omkara walked inside his bedroom and stood right in front of the window. He was thinking about the decision that was made in Radhika's room. Gauri entered their bedroom, locked the door and then marched to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder making him turn his head back.

"Jaan, tumhe kya lagta hai, kya Ridhu ne jo decision liya woh theek tha?" Omkara questioned as he turned around and held Gauri's hand in his.

(Jaan, what do you think, is the decision that Ridhu made correct?)

"Omkaraji, humari Ridhu na ab badi ho gayi hai. And woh bohat samajdaar bhi hai. Woh jo bhi decision leti hai woh humesha aacha hi hota hai." Gauri replied gently because she knew how much her husband loved Radhika.

(Omkaraji, our Ridhu is now grown up. And she is also very smart. Whatever decision she makes will be a good decision.)

"Lekin Jaan, humari princess toh bohat choti hai, woh abhi sirf 23 saal ki hai and uska rishta hum zada age ke aadmi ke saath kaise kar sakhte hai. Humari princess ke sache pyar ka kya, kya pata uska koi wait ka raha ho? Uska soulmate?" Omkara panicked as he thought about these things.

(But Jaan, our princess is really young. She is only 23 years old and she is marrying someone much older than her. What about our princess's true love? Her soulmate?)

Gauri's lips had a smile dancing on them. Her husband loved all of their children but Radhika always held a special place in his heart. She got everything she wished for and got things she didn't even ask for. Omkara's worries were right in his place, he wanted the best for his princess. Gauri took his hand in her hand and then pulled him towards the bed. Both gently sat on it.

"Omkaraji, shaiyad aapne notice nhi kiya per Ishan ji jo hai woh humari Ridhu ka hi soulmate hai. Haan woh Ridhu se age pe bada hai lekin aap bhi toh humse bade the. Warna kya chances the ki humari Ridhu ki hi car se Mishti ko takrana tha and Mishti ka un Ridz ko Gulabo bulana and usse itna ghul mil jana. Omkara ji jo hota hai na uske peeche koi na koi reason toh zaroor hota." Gauri comforted her husband. He seemed to have calm down.

(Omkaraji, maybe you didn't notice but Ishan ji is our Ridhu's soulmate. And yes he is older than Ridhu but so were you when we got married. Otherwise what are the chances that Mishti bumped into Ridhu's car and Mishti calling Ridz, Gulabo and her being so attached to her. Omkaraji whatever happens, happens for the best.)

"Keh toh tum sahi rahi ho, Jaan. Humari princess yeh decision kuch soch samaj ke liya hoga." Omkara agreed. He was barely anxious about the wedding.

(You are correct, Jaan. Our princess might have made this decision thoughtfully.)

"Haan, ab humhe jaakar Aarayna se kuch baat karni hai." Gauri got up to move but was stopped.

(Yeah, now I should go. I have to talk to Aarayna about something.)

"Aise kaise Jaan. Aaj tumhara pati full romantic mood mein hai." Omkara held her wrist and pulled her down so she was now sitting on his lap.

(How can I Jaan. Today your husband is in a full romantic mood.)

"Kuch toh sharam kejiye Omkaraji, apki beti ko shadi hone jaa rahi hai, apke badi bahu aa chuki hai, aarey ab toh apke naata aur naatin bhi hai and apko romance ki padi hai." Gauri blushed and tried to free herself.

(Have some shame, Omkaraji. You daughter is getting married, you have a daughter in law and now you have grandchildren and all you can think about is romance.)

"Haan toh, kisne kaha ki yeh sab hone ke baad, ek pati apni patni se romance karna chod de." Omkara kissed her neck making her shudder.

(Yeah so, who said a husband can't romance with his wife after all of that.)

Gauri couldn't even come up with a remark. She was in so much pleasure. Omkara observed this and stopped kissing her neck. Gauri went to whine but stopped when Omkara's lips touched hers. Both spend the rest of the night in pure pleasure and desire.

Ruhaan walked out of the Guest house. He was prepared for his morning run, he went on every morning. He got this habit from his dada but his dada couldn't join him today as he was extremely exhausted. And so Ruhaan decided to go alone. He stretched out before went for a run and while stretching his eyes fell on something.

Radhika was stretching as well. She was dressed like she was here to run. The sun shone on her face making it glow. She had no trace of makeup on her face. Ruhaan quickly jogs over to her before she can begin with her run.

Radhika was stretching normally like she did everyday. This was a routine for her and her brothers. All of them went on a run every morning but today they were busy with the arrangements of her wedding so they couldn't. She turned around as she heard footsteps from behind her. As she sees Ruhaan, she smiles at him.

"Good morning Ruhaan." Radhika spoke with a smile on her face.

"Good morning...mo..mom. Hum apko mom bula sakhta hoon?" Ruhaan said with hesitation.

(Good morning...mo..mom. Can I call you mom?)

Ruhaan didn't know if she would like begin called mom. Radhika looked up at him and thought about it. She was going to marry his dad and so naturally she would become his mom. So she would let him call her mom. She looks up at him.

"Haan of course, ab hum tumhare mom hi toh hai." Radhika replies confidently. It makes Ruhaan smile.

(Yeah of course, I am your mom now.)

"So mom, aap kya running keliye jaa rahi hai?" Ruhaan questioned Radhika as he stretched.

(So mom, are you going for a run?)

"Haan actually main roz subah jogging pe jati hoon." Radhika agreed to Ruhaan's statement.

(Yes actually I go jogging everyday.)

"Main apko join kar sakta hoon?" Ruhaan asked her as he looked at the pathway in front of him.

(Can I join you?)

"Of course, chalo." Radhika looked towards the path and then at Ruhaan.

(Of course, let's go.)

Radhika and Ruhaan both looked at each other. It was a challenge to each other. Why not make this run fun? Just a friendly race around the Oberoi  Mansion. They glance at the path and then took off.

They ran all the way around the Oberoi Mansion for a way as it was quiet huge. Unknown to them Ishan was watching them from the inside of the guest house. He smiled to himself as he knew he made the right decision. He then went back inside.

After three hours...

Everyone looked at the Pandit while he tried to fix a date for the wedding and also match their horoscopes. Everyone had already ate the breakfast in which Ishan, Heer and Ruhaan were also present. Mishti had demanded that Radhika was to feed her. They all looked at the Pandit with such excitement that it even scared him.

"Dekhiye bohat hi khush kabri ki baat hai ki ladka aur ladki ke sare 36 guna milte hai. Kuch hi dino mein Vivah Panchami ka shub din hai, uss din ka shadi ka murat bohat aacha hai." Pandit ji said as he carefully examined the horoscopes.

(Look, the good thing is that, the 36 qualities of both the groom and the bride match. In a few days is Vivah Panchami, the wedding can be kept on that day.)

"Mom yeh Vivah Panchami ka hai?" Ruhaan questioned Radhika and even Mishti, and Heer nodded, confusingly. Even Ishan was curious but he didn't portray it, but Gauri noticed it and smirked.

(Mom what is Vivah Panchami?)

"Vivah Panchami ke din Bhagwaan Ram aur Sita ji ki shadi huha thi." Radhika answered their question, chasing the look of confusion from their face.

(On the Vivah Panchami, Lord Ram and Sita ji got married.)

"Aacha ab Pandit ji, yeh batiya ki Roka, Ganesh pooja, Haldi, Mehndi, aur Sangeet kab rakhe?" Dadi asked as her youngest great granddaughter was getting married.

(Okay Pandit ji, now tell us that when should we keep the Engagement, Ganesh pooja, Haldi, Mehndi and Sangeet?)

"Ji Roka keliye parso ka din bohat hi zada shub hai. Rahi baat Ganesh pooja ki toh roka ke agle din hum pooja rakhe ge. Haldi ko shadi ke 3 din, Mehndi ko 2 aur Sangeet ko 1 din shadi se pehle rakhege." The Pandit replied to the Oberoi family.

(Ji for engagement the day after tomorrow is okay. As far as Ganesh Pooja is concerned, it will be the day after the engagement. Haldi will be 3 days, Mehndi will be 2 days, and Sangeet will be a day before the wedding.)

"Iska matlab shadi ko sirf 7 din bache hai. Saari taiyaariyan abhi shuru karni padegi." Shivaay announced to the whole family.

(That means we have only 7 days for the wedding. We have to start with the arrangements today.)

"Ji ab hum chalte hai, namaste." Pandit walks out of the Oberoi Mansion as everyone bids him goodbye. Jhanvi then looks back at everyone in the room.

(Ji now I should leave, goodbye.)

"Okay so hum sabko bohat saari taiyaariyan karni hai. Issi liye main kaam baant rahi hoon. Shivaay, Anika tum dono ko decorations ka dekhn hai. Rudra, Saumya tum dono khana dekhoge. Shivani, Malika, Aarayna tum teeno ko sabke kapade dekhne hai." Tej got all serious and gave orders to everyone.

(Okay so we all have to make a lot of arrangements. That's why I am dividing the jobs. Shivaay, Anika you two will look after the decorations. Rudra, Saumya you two will arrange the food. Shivani, Malika, Aarayna you three will get the clothes.)

"Gauri, Om tum dono jewelry ka dekho ge. Radhika aur Ishan ji bhi tum dono ke saath aayege. Shivansh, Rayan, Ransh tum teeno guest ko invite karoge. Maanik aur Ranak tum dono entertainment ka daiyaan rakho ge." He continued

(Gauri, Om you two will go get the jewelry. Radhika and Ishan ji will go with the two of you. Shivansh, Rayan, Ransh you three will take care of inviting the guest.)

Shakti bhaiya, Pinky aap dono Ganesh ji ki murti lekar aao ge. Tej aap aur main guest ke comfort keliye kuch arrange karege. Ruhaan, Heer, Ishan ji aur Mishti beta aap teeno na apni side se sab organize kijiye. Aur mummy ji sab supervise karegi." Jhanvi finished for him as she noticed how red he got.

(Shakti brother, Pinky the two of you have to get the Ganesh idol. Tej and I will make arrangements for the guests comfort. Ruhaan, Heer, Ishan ji and Mishti dear you three can take care of your aide. And mother-in-law will supervise.)

"Arrey relax ji, sab aache se hoga." A voice echoed through OM. Ishan, Ruhaan, Heer and Mishti smile and look towards the door.

(Oh relax ji, everything will happen accordingly.)

The Oberois except Gauri look confused as to what they are doing here. There stood three people. One man, an old lady and a woman. They were dressed in such beautiful and royal clothes. Ruhaan, Mishti and Heer ran over to them and hugged whereas Ishan slowly walks over and then takes them into an embrace.

Richa, Shaurya, and Tejaswani Randhawa stood in front of the Oberois. Ruhaan, Mishtin Heer and Ishan break the hug. Gauri looks at Richa and Richa looks right back at her. Mishti walks back to Radhika and stands beside her. Ruhaan and Heer follow right behind her.

"Richa!" "Gauri!" Both Richa and Gauri shout together and hug each other. They were meeting after such a long time.

"Gauri ji, aap meri mom ko janti hai?" Ishan asked for everyone because they all had the same question in mind.

(Gauri ji, you know my mom?)

"Haan Ishan ji, actually apki mom and main, hum dono bachpan ke dost hai." Gauri said with excitement.

(Yeah Ishan ji, actually your mom and I are childhood friends.)

"Itne saaloon ke baad mil rahe hai, Gauri." Richa expressed as she remembered the many times she missed her best friend.

(We are meeting after so many years.)

Radhika moved forward and took the blessings of Tejaswani, Shauraya and Richa. Tejaswani was really impressed by Radhika's behaviour and gave her the blessings. Shauraya patted Radhika's head when she stood up as blessing and Richa just took her in a tight hug. They all took a seat on the couch like the rest of the Oberois.

"Aacha ek kam karte hai ki Gauri, tum, jiju, Ishu aur Radhika jaa hi rahe ho toh, mujhe aur Shauraya ji ko bhi saath le chalo apne saath." Richa on purpose used Ishan's nickname to embarrass him.

(Okay let's do one thing, Gauri since you, Om, Ishu, Radhika are going, why don't Shauraya ji and I tag along.)

"Haan of course, why not." Gauri replied.

(Yeah of course, why not.)

"Ek kaam karte hai Grams ki abhi chalte hai and main, Heer aur Mishti bhi saath aayege." Ruhaan requested.

(Let's do one thing, Grams. We can go right now. Mishti, Heer and I can join.)

"Theek hai toh fir chalo." Shauraya said as he got up from his seat.

(Okay then, let's go.)

Radhika, Ishan, Ruhaan, Heer, Mishti, Gauri, Om, Richa and Shauraya all walked out of the Oberoi Mansion and towards the jewelry store. Everyone else left for the jobs they were assigned. It was a lot of work but the wedding had to be perfect. Dadi and Tejaswani just sit and chatted the day away.
