"Anything worked?" Soumya asked Anika .

"Nahi yaar, har baar ruk hi jaate hai. Mai keh rahi hun tujhe bade chant hai ye. Mujhe tak chakma de diya" Anika said.

"Aap ye sab chod dijiye, wo zarur kuch plan kar hi rahe honge aapke liye. Mai janti hun Shivaay Bhaiya ko" Gauri said.

"Bas Shivaay Bhaiya ki hi tarafdaari karti raho Gauri. Pata ni meri devrani mera kitna saath degi" Anika said dramatically while Gauri blushed to this statement.

"Isse pehle Gauri didi puri sharam se laal ho jaaye, hume ready hona chahiye. Aaj engagement hai aur make up artists bhi aa hi gayi hai" Soumya said and she went out with Gauri leaving behind Anika to think about Shivaay.

"Pata ni kab iss kanji aakh wale billu se pyaar hi ho gaya" she chuckled to her own language and began to open her tied bun.

Shivaay was waiting impatiently for his love to come down. Although, he was attending the guests but his mind was totally occupied by her thoughts. What will she wear? How will she look? Which colour? 

Dadi approached him, "Kaha chod ke aaya?" she asked but Shivaay didn't understand.

"Kya?"

"Apne dil ko" she said.

"Wo to room me ready ho rahi hai" he replied then realised what he just said.

"Mai paani leke aata hun dadi" he excused but she held his hand.

"Ruk khote, pehle mujhe mere billu ko gale to lagane de. Kitna bada ho gaya hai tu ki shaadi ho rahi hai. Ab ehsaas hua ki mai kitni budhi ho gayi." they hugged each other. Her eyes welcomed tears.

"OHo Dadi, you are still young. Umar to meri badh rahi hai isiliye shaadi kar raha hun na. Aap jawaan hai abhi bhi" he said and she patted his back.

"Uska saath kabhi na chodna aur humesha khush rehna puttar. Pyaar me daraare aayengi par saamna tujhe karna padega" she said and they broke the hug.

"Sirf mujhe? Anika ko kuch nahi karna hai?" he asked.

"Usse galtiyaan hongi bhi nahi. Ekdom perfect hai meri bahu"

"Aakhir pasand to SSO ki hi hai."

"Billu hai tu koi SSO nahi."

"Kya dadi" he whined. Dadi laughed at his expression.

"So guys, intezaar ki ghadi ab khatam hoti hai. The bride, Shivaay bhaiya ki hone wali patni, iss ghar ki bahu aur meri hone wali pyaar bhabhi is coming down" Rudy made the announcement and all the eyes were glued to the staircase.

The light focused on it and there stood Anika wearing a golden crop top embroidered with Indian design and royal gown. The jewelleries completed her look and she was the example of goddess with her million dollar smile.

Claps surrounded the hall but Shivaay forgot to blink. Everyone around him turned blur and the only person now in front of him is Anika, his love and his wife.

As she descended the stairs, Shivaay went forward to take her hand.

"Ekdum Khidkitod" he whispered in her ears and she led out a sharp breath. This man can have a great impact on her in every way.

"Bhaiya ko bole openly romance naa kare" Rudra said to Om.

"Tu chup reh na yaar, aaj at least mat paka" O replied back to him.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs Junior Oberoi" Rudra said and Anika looked upto Shivaay who was already looking at her.

Anika's smile seemed never ending. She was experiencing a life she never even expected, not in terms of money but in terms of the love. She had been craving for it ever since her childhood.

"Anika, bohut sundar lag rahi ho" Dadi, Jhanvi and Tej blessed her. They went to Mama and Mami who were smiling broadly.

"Meri Anika to hai hi rani" Mami said with her fake sugar coated voice.

"Ceremony shuru karte hai"

"Ek min, usse pehle ek bohut important baat hai jo mujhe kehna hai" Shivaay said and they all looked up to him not knowing anything about it.

The lights went dim around everyone and the main focus was on Anika who was clueless. Shivaay held the mic in his hand..
