A month have passed away. The marriage of the youngest Oberoi have become the talk of the city.

This wedding is made grand by khidkitod Anika, but the unique thing in this shaadi is that  Mr.OSO and his wife are in the bride's side – Soumya's side as her bhaiyya and didi.
Specially because he was her bade baal wale bhaiyya!!!! This made Mr .Rudra a bit jealous because his own O and chulbul bhabhi is with soumya...but for real, he was very happy seeing the trio's bond....

At Soumya's home:
Few days before the wedding, the bride is selecting her joda brought from OM.T here were 3 or 4 sets which were utmost beautiful but somu was finding it difficult to select one among them as all were looking awesome on her.

S: bhabhi, chulbul bhabhi.....
G: ha somu, hum yahan hai...ka hua ?
S: woh... chulbul bhabhi...
G: ek jhaap de diwar pe satjayebe. Now you have also started calling me like that, just like Rudy bhaiyya(faking anger)
S: woh..kya hai na bhabhi, you are so cute when you are angry while calling you like that  (she hugged Gouri)
G: hmm....why did you call me now?
S: woh.. please help me to select my joda. All sets are beautiful, but I don't know which one to select. ( worried)

Om just entered the hall.
O: hai soumya...
S: oh hai bb bhaiyya. I was just thinking about you.

Both shared a warm hug, admired by Gouri.
O: waise somu, what is bb bhaiyya?
S:( laughing) you forgot, short for bade baal wale Bhaiyya....
G: so you have started putting nick names for us ?

The trio had a good laugh. All 3 went to somu's room, where her aayi was also there.
S: dekho na bhaiyya, help me to select one from this, please..
G: oh somu, it's true that he is an artist. But his selection for ladies is too weak you know,he doesn't have fashion sense. Rudra is the best for this.

Om rolled his eyes at Gouri while she was giggling.
Finally, Gouri and Om selected one out of the 3. Soumya thanked them a lot for choosing one. She went for trying it out whereas Rikara moved out of somu's room. As Gouri headed to the kitchen, Om stopped her by holding her wrist and turned her back.
O: Mrs.OSO, what bakwaas did you say about me??
G: ka...meine kuch nahi kaha... Chodiye Omkaraji....( struggling)
O: that I don't have fashion sense, I'm weak in selection...
G:( laughing) it's not bakwaas, it's a truth, how many times I've experienced it during shopping, my dear jatadhari hippie??

He moved closer to her, while she became conscious.
O: madamji, I'm very good at selection?
G: hmm...kaise?? koi saboot hai tere pass?
O: haan...tu...tu hai mere best selection ke acchi proof....

Her eyes widened; she was smiling whole heartedly. How much he had loved to admire her smiling face. They created their own world out there, but were made apart by Somu's voice.

S: bhabhi, kaise he yeh??
G: ha...ha...somu, bohot sundar hai. I think you should send a photo to Rudy bhaiyya now itself.
O: nahi Gouri, the bridegroom should see his bride wearing joda, only at the mandap.
G: oho ji, tumhe kaise pata ye sab?
O: why not, my dadi had told me all this..
S: ok bhaiyya, then I'll just fold and keep this back, OK?? Then let's go for tea.

She went back.
He smiled seeing a happy Somu and turned to see Gouri still adoring him.
O: hey pagli, don't watch me like this.
G: kyu Omkaraji, you feel shy?( smiling)
O: bilkul nahi, I might get caught with your sight... oh...

Gouri was angry,..
G: so you are ok if your fans see you like this, haan...
O: ya perfectly fine.
G: oh I'll show you today who dabbang Gouri is!!!

She began racing him and there goes the jhagda of Tom & Jerry!!!

Upcoming days were hectic for both families. Rikara were doing everything from somu's side,helping her aayi.

It was the haldi day for rumya in their respective homes. All the  desperate plans of Rudra to meet Soumya that day was failed by dadi as she wanted every rituals to be rightly followed.

The Oberoi ladies came to Somu's home with shagun haldi which was brought from OM and the function was about to start.

Gouri was feeling tired after all the work and had come to  to get some water and to relax before the haldi started, because she had the shagun haldi with her.

As she entered the room and had water, she nearly gasped seeing Om entering to the room.
G: hey Sankarji, why didn't you go back to home Omkaraji, this is a ladies only function for the chiraiyya and you are still here. Didn't you know, bade bhaiyya had already gone...
O:( angry) relax Gouri, I was following you since I felt you are not well.
G: sahi hai, I'm not well .I don't know if I will be able to attend the whole function properly. I just want to have some sleep.
O: Gouri you just sit here for some time. I will give this haldi , you can come after some time.
G: nahi Omkaraji, I have to check whether all the performing ladies group has come or not. So it's ok, I'm fine now, I will go.
O: no Gouri, give it to me. I will go with this.
G: iska koi zaroorat nahi hai. Hum hain na, it's a ladies function so I will go.

Both began pulling the haldi bowl and finally a bit of the haldi fell on Gouri's hand. She was furious, while he smiled seeing her puppy face.
O: ha...ha...I told you Gouri and you didn't hear me. Why are you being ziddy like this? Now see what happened...Peela khargosh ha...ha...

Gouri was angry, without thinking she suddenly swiped her hand on his cheeks, covering with haldi. Om was shocked seeing this , now it was her turn to laugh.
G: see now my hand is clean and your face is..
She couldn't complete as Om suddenly rubbed his stubbled cheek on Gouri's. She nearly shivered and closed her eyes. Her heart was beating fast while he kept on rubbing her cheek with hers.
G: Om.... ( softly)
He was enjoying the moment with closed eyes, she could feel him smiling against her cheek. Finally he moved back smiling, seeing her with closed eyes.
O: Gouri....

She slowly opened her eyes. He could see her pink cheeks in spite of haldi being on it.

Both were smiling at each other.
G: tum bhi na....

She couldn't complete as he kept his finger on her lips. He went close to her with their faces just inches apart.
O: bohot sweet hai na..

Gouri moved down her face. Suddenly the door opened with Jhanvi entering inside.
J: Om ...what are you doing here?
O:(nervous)woh ma..she is ..not well so..
J: oh my son, don't worry we will take care of your wife. (teasing)

Seeing haldi on their faces, she laughed.
J: yeh kya hai bacchom??(laughing)
G: woh Ma, we....
J: suno...it's not your haldi, it was done a long time back. This is your sister in law's haldi, heard?

Both blushed hearing this thinking about their wedding times.

J: I will take this, both of you clean your faces and come soon. Om should go to home and check the arrangements  for tomorrow. Don't take more time, heard(teasing)
O: OK mom ( embarrassed)
Jhanvi left the room.

Gouri stared at Om angrily, while he stood with a puppy face.
G: tum khush ho na??(angrily)
O: mm...nahi toh..(pouting)

She controlled her smile seeing his face. She suddenly stood up on her legs and kissed his cheek. Om was thoroughly shocked.
G: ab tum khush ho na...

He stood with his hand still touching his cheek, amazed and blushing.

G: oho, sharm aa rahe mere pati ko? ab tum jao, suna??

Saying this she pushed him out of the room and closed the door. Both were smiling thinking about their little haldi moment.
