She did not knew how to react to this. Her dad almost bought her happiness in stake for Sanskar's happiness. Sanskar her childhood best friend. She could not define her pain at the time. She wanted to cry but could not.

"Anjali bring Kavya" said Avantika arranging the Mehendi. Anjali smiled at her and walked up to bring Kavya. She sat in her room lifeless. Her life looked aimless. "Kavi" Anjali walked to her. She caressed Kavya's face and took her down with her.

"Kavi" Ragini screeched hugging her. "Congratulations" she dragged herself out of the hug and looked at Kavya's face. It did not had the charm of a 'to be bride'.

Ragini was confused. Before she could confront Kavya she was dragged by Annapurna. Ragini stood giving Annapurna a weird look like how she stares at the 'chipku aunties' and Annapurna walked just giving a glance to her.

She turned to Anjali who smiled at her and Ragini smiled back at her. Sanskar who was forced by Kishan to look up found Ragini who was standing behind walking Kavya.

His eyes stationed and breathing became uneven. Ragini was talking to Anjali and laughing and his heart like always started fluttering with joy.

"Oye Gadhe your bride is there" Kishan turned his face forcefully and Sanskar bowed down his head smiling for his fate which was laughing at his condition.

"Hey Dumbledore" Ragini waved at Sanskar when she stood at the buffet to take the food. When she walked excited to wish him Sanskar was over the phone talking and Kavya was sitting on the mandap kind of arrangement made for her and was being applied with the Mehendi Annapurna mixed.

Suddenly he turned and the plate in Ragini's hand fell and the hot curry fell on her hand burning it. Sanskar disconnected the call and held Ragini's hand worried. "Gosh dumb girl can't you be careful. Are you on a race? Always running around" he said annoyed blowing air on her burning hand.

"Ahh" she winced in pain and he looked up at her. Her face was smeared with tears. He couldn't see her in that state. "Come" he dragged her with him. He reached Pari and Adarsh's room where Adarsh was patting Anisha's back to make her fall asleep. "Sanky?" Adarsh looked at him surprised.

"Big Bro. She is hurt. Where is first aid box?" asked Sanskar worried. Adarsh placed Ani on the bed carefully. She turned in her sleep.

"Wait I will get it" said Adarsh and walked to his cupboard. Sanskar looked around and found the mini freezer at the corner. He walked to it and brought the ice and placed it on Ragini's hand. She closed her eyes feeling the pain and it squeezed Sanskar's heart.

"Take" Adarsh interrupted his thoughts and he took the first aid box from him. He searched an ointment and applied on the wound blowing air from his mouth. Ragini who had closed her eyes opened her eyes and watched him caring for her. She was lost looking at him. Sanskar who lifted his head looked into her eyes and was lost in those orbs.

"Ahem Ahem" Adarsh cleared his throat to bring them to the real world. Both jerked and looked around to realize where exactly they are.

"What was the need to be so chirpy holding a hot plate?" asked Sanskar with anger clearly depicting from his eyes. She was a bit scared due to his anger but did not show it.

"I can't control my chirpiness Mr. Dumbledore you know me so well. When you knew I was the one calling you. You should have been bit careful. Don't you know how messed up I am at times. At least this much I can expect from my Boss. Can't I?"

She turned to Adarsh and continued "Isn't Mr. BB?" she placed her hand under her chin.

"Break" Sanskar closed her mouth with his hand. She still kept blabbering looking at him shrinking her eyes.

"If you don't stop surely I'm gonna taper your mouth" Sanskar warned her and she pleaded him. He removed his hand and she was about to talk further but Sanskar showed his finger and she pouted closing her mouth.

"Phew. Have you ever tried stopping that bullet train which leaves your mouth?" he asked getting up. She twisted her lips and he turned his face not able to control his smile.

"What is she?" asked Adarsh who was gaping at her with his mouth open. "Sadly my P.A" said Sanskar and Ragini fumed and searched for something to hit him and finally found a cushion which she threw in his direction. He bent and got saved himself from it.

She was about to throw the other cushion but sleeping Anisha grabbed her hand and Ragini stopped and looked back. The little angel was fast asleep and was innocently smiling in her sleep. Ragini instantly cooled down looking at her.

"She is..." Ragini screamed looking at Sanskar with gleaming eyes. He hit his forehead and she lowered the volume of her voice and turned to Anisha. "She is so cute" Ragini whispered caressing Ani's face with her other hand.

"She is indeed" Sanskar sat beside her and looked at Anisha. When Ragini turned to him their faces were very close and both could hear their heartbeats due to the proximity and they again looked into each others eyes lost.

Adarsh slowly removed Ragini's hand from Anisha's hold and she broke the eye lock and they both looked around embarrassed. She tucked her hair strand behind her ear and he let out a sigh like she bound him to some magical spell.

Tu hi tho Jannat meri Tu hi mera Junun(You are my heaven and you are my craziness)
Tu hi tho mannat Meri Tu hi ruh ka Sukun(You are my ultimate prayer and you are my soul's peace)
Tu hi akhiyo ki thandak Tu hi dil ki hai dastak(You give calmness to my eye and make my heart beat)
Aur kuch na jaanu mai Bass ithna hi Janu(I don't know anything but one thing)
Tujhme rab dikhta hai yaara mai kya karu(I see God in you what can I do about it)

Was there any word which could define his feelings around her? No definitely not. He just felt that divine peace what everyone experience in worship places when he was around her.

"Sanky Bhai?" Yohan searched around for Sanskar as Annapurna made him to look for him when Sanskar was missing from a long time.

He stopped at a door where he heard sobs. He leaned to the door and now the sobs were clear. He raised his hand to knock at the door but the door was open before only.

He peeped inside and found someone standing near the balcony. He walked in and as the distance between them decrease he realized it was Kavya.

"Kavi?" she just needed fraction of second to recognize Yohan's voice. Turning to him she hugged him without smudging her mehendi on his Shervani but covering him with her elbows.

He was surprised. "Kavi?" he asked worried. She did not reply but burst into a bitter cry. The emotions she held so long at last busted and there was no end to her misery.

On the other hand Yohan stood blank. It was her Mehendi and he has been witnessing how excited she was due to this marriage and suddenly she is in such vulnerable state.

As her sobs increased his heart felt squeezing pain an intolerable pain. He placed his hand on her head and she felt a bit relaxed feeling his comforting touch.

"You are Dumb dumb dumb dumbledore" Ragini crossed her arms and huffed angry.

"You are dumbo Bakbak ki dukan" Sanskar crossed his arms and huffed angry. Adarsh just moved his head from Sanskar then to Ragini and then back to Sanskar like a pendulum as they continued arguing.

"Can anyone tell me why are you hell bent on proving who is dumber as per my observation both of you are equally dumb. No second thought in that" he said tired.

"Wo..." Ragini paused as she tried remembering where did this all started. She placed her index finger on her chin and pouted.

"Ms. First rank Bhulakkad" smirked Sanskar and he paused when he also could not remember where did all started.

"He he Distinction wala Bhulakkad" Ragini twisted her lips cutely.

"Hey Bhagwan Some one save me" Adarsh looked up. "Adi" Pari entered holding her baby bump. Ragini immediately rushed to her give a helping hand.

Pari who was surprised to find Ragini in the room held her hand walking to the bed. On the way she noticed Sanskar and Adarsh who were standing watching her.

"Arrey Ragini" Pari smiled at Ragini after settling down on the bed.

"Careful careful" Ragini made her lean and placed a cushion behind her back. Pari smiled at her gesture.

"Actually na Dee I was hungry. Hungry like I have not eaten from ages, I never felt so hungry but I don't know today suddenly after the last line of Kavi's mehendi was finished I felt damn hungry. So I went to the buffet. All my favorite dishes so I took extra. And I was enjoying the aroma of the food suddenly I saw this dumbledore roaming around. He is my Boss right and tomorrow if he scolds me for not wishing him so I thought let me wish him. One work will be done. But this Dumbledore is so dumb he was talking over the phone. When I called him he knew I was calling him. You know I can expect at least this from him as he is my Boss from so many days. Though I forgot now when I joined but it is long time ago. So I just expected him to recognize my damn voice. And he knew right how messed up I'm. Couldn't he be a bit careful. No Mr. Dumbledore can't get rid of his dumbness. He had to turn swiftly and the hot plate landed on my hand and I got hurt. He scolded me and dragged me here and with the help of BB he treated my wound. And we were arguing over something and you came" Ragini was speaking speaking and speaking.

"Phew. I thought she will never stop" said Adarsh letting out a sigh.

"You feel me Big Bro" said Sanskar.

"I talk so less and people complain that because me their ears bleed, You only tell me dee do I talk a lot. Haa I talk but I talk necessary things na, Have I talked anything out of the topic or simply blabber?" Pari nodded her head in a NO and smiled at her cute blabbering.

She turned to Sanskar with a smile who nodded his head controlling his smile.

Ragini kept talking and Pari listened to her and was nodding her head. Adarsh looked at her and smiled.

For the first time in years he had seen Pari without those wrinkles of tension over her forehead.

"Kavi" Yohan placed his hand over her shoulder trying to drag her out of the embrace and she tightened her grip not willing to let go of him.

"I love you" her one sentence stopped his heart beat and made his world spin.

His eyes went wide and breathing hacked. He always wondered as a doctor what can make his heart stop from beating and he realized now that it was this moment.

Anjali stood at the door blank looking at Kavya in Yohan's embrace. It did not shook her until she heard Kavya's confession.
