Shivaay goes to the office as usual while Anika & Pinky are in the kitchen, preparing various types of dishes for the evening. 

Rudra comes in.

Rudra: We need to get the haldi for both Om bhiya and Gauri bhabhi, so they get a subtle glow on their skin.

Anika: Fine, Soumya rang me up and told me that she wants to get a high quality haldi for Gauri. So you both go together.

The doorbell rings. Rudra opens the door. It was Soumya.

Rudra looked at her and was mesmerized by her beauty.

Soumya: Are you ready?

Rudra: Of course. Shall we start?

Soumya nods.

Rudra goes to the garage & takes the car outside.

He then presses the horn of the vehicle.

Soumya sits beside Rudra.

Soumya: Here is the list that I want to buy for Gauri.

Rudra: Fine, I will buy everything that is there on the list. Uhoo Uhoo

Soumya smiles. She said, "Are you mimicking me to impress me?"

Rudra: I am good at many things. As for impressing, many girls are impressed with my looks & skills. I am a very talented person.

Soumya: Self-praising is not good.  It is like boasting.

Rudra: I am not boasting. It is a fact.

He sees the bangle shop & stops there.

Rudra: We will get high quality haldi here. If you want, you can come with me.

Soumya comes with Rudra. She looks at the haldi packet & said, "Wow, Rajasthani haldi! I, too, like it."

Rudra: Thanks. So you judge for yourself now.

Both go for shopping & buy the bridal and groom attire for Omkara & Gauri. 

After they get into the car,

Soumya: Your choice is quite right. Usually, men have a terrible choice when it comes to selecting the color and designs.

Rudra: So you are impressed.

Soumya blushes. She said, "No."

Rudra sees her blushes and said, "Beautiful girls look more beautiful when they lie."

It looks like I need to do something more to impress you. Rudra starts the car & starts driving fast. The background song is

Thandee thandee purvaiya me udatee hai chunariya hey

Dhadke mora jiya Rama balee hai umariya

Dil pe nahee kabu, Kaisa yeh jadu

Yeh mausam kaa jadu hai mitwa

Naa abb dil pe kabu hai mitwa

Naina jisme kho gaye, divane se ho gaye

Najara woh harsu hai mitwa

Yeh mausam kaa jadu hai mitwa.

Sheharww babu ke sang mem Goree goree hey

Aise lage jaise Chanda kee chakoree

Phulo kaliyo kee bahare, Chanchal yeh hawao kee pukare

Hamko yeh isharo me kahe ham, thamke yaha ghadiya gujare

Pehle kabhee toh naa hamse, batiyate the aise phulwa

Yeh mausam kaa jadu hai mitwa.

Sachchee sachchee bolna bhed naa chupana, hey

Kaun Dagar se aaye, Kaun Disha hai jana

Inko ham le ke chale hain, apne sang apanee nagariya

Hai re sang anjane kaa, us par Anjan dagariya

Phir kaise tum dur itne sang aa gayee mere goriya

Yeh mausam kaa jadu hai mitwa

Both of them reach home. They show all the shopping items for the family.

Rudra goes to Shivaay & said, "This suit looks good on you."

Soumya gives the saree to Anika that she selected for her.

Anika: Wow.

Rumya then goes to Rikara & give them the selected dresses to them. 

In the evening, mehendi rituals begin.

Everyone applies mehendi for Omkara & Gauri.

After the rituals, Pinky said, "There is one more ritual only for the ladies. Gents are not allowed."

All of them agree.

Rudra looks ar Omkara's restlessness on his face. He said, "Hmm, I know that you want to see Gauri bhabhi with the attire that we selected for her."

Omkara blushes: Shut up, Rudra.

Rudra: You can shut me up, but what about your facial expression? If you want, I can solve this problem.

Omkara: How?

The rituals begin.

Omkara & Rudra cover themselves with a saree & cover their heads. Shivaay joins them.

All 3 of them sit in the last row.

After the rituals, Anika, Gauri & Soumya see them. They smile.

All of them start dancing. The song is

La la la la la…

Lafzon ka ye rishta nahi

Lafzon ka ye rishta nahi

Sadiyon ka ye hai waasta

Hai rooh ka raabta

Na ab kabhi nazdeekiyon ki fiza ye

Aaaye na doori dilon mein

Karti hai aankein dua yeh

Koi khusi ho gum ho

Kahi jyada kam ho..

Koi khusi ho gum ho

Kahin jyada kam ho

Baatenge jo ho ata

Lafzon ka ye rishta nahi..

Shivaay then arranges for the wedding mandap.

The pundit comes in.

Gauri & Omkara get dressed with their attires.

Omkara sits on the mandap, while Anika & Soumya bring Gauri to the mandap. Gauri sits next to Omkara. Pinky ties the gatbandhan. After reading the mantra, Omkara & Gauri take seven rounds. Omkara then fills Gauri's parting & makes her wear the mangalsutra.

Rikara wedding completes.
