Nanhe:Payal didi,Bharti bhabhi khush toh rahegi na?

Payal:Hhmm..khush toh rahegi par..

Nanhe:Par kya,didi?

Payal:Par kya bata,parivaar ka haalat kya ho sakti hai Bharti ke aane se..(both looked at each other and bursted out laughing)

Nanhe:Aap bhi na,didi..

Payal:Chalo..Aunty aur uncle ko dekh the hain...

~Along the way to Armaan's parent's place~

Bharti was feeling super hit and kept fanning herself with her hands repeatedly.Upon seeing that,Jiya, who was seated between her and Armaan,giggled and Bharti turned to look at her.

Bharti:Jiya,hass kyun rahe ho?

Jiya:Aapko bohat garmi ho rahi hain?A.C. bhi chal rahi hain aur aapko garmi lag rahi hain..

Bharti:Jiya,jab aapki shaadi ho jaayegi na,tab dekhna..Aur upar se yeh sari itni heavy bhi hain..Dus kilo ki toh zaroor hogi!!(shook her head)

Jiya:(giggled)Hhmm,main aapko kya bulaao aaj se?

Bharti:Kuch bhi chalega..

Jiya:Kuch bhi?(looked at Armaan)Dada,batao na..Erm,Bharti mama theekh rahegi??(Bharti smiled and kissed her forehead and looked away)

When they've reached Armaan's parent's home,Bharti woke Jiya up and they got out of the car.Bharti was stunned to see the exterior view of the large house,which reminded her of her home at Gwalior but this only seemed to be bigger and looked more ancestral,in a way.Armaan nudged Bharti who looked at him and both of them walked forward to the entrance door,where Armaan's family members were waiting.

Armaan's mum did the aarti and tilak while Bharti looked around to see the family members surrounded around her and Armaan.She looked tensed but smiled anyways.Bharti was told to kick the kalash,marking her entrance to their home.She did so,but with her left foot and this angered Radha Bua,Armaan's dad's sister.She stopped Bharti from entering as she found this act of Bharti's as inauspicious and taunted Bharti.Bharti got annoyed for Radha even taunted about Bharti's parents as well.Meanwhile,Geeta and Avantika,Armaan's sister,had already gone to the kitchen to quickly get another pot and filled it with rice grains and placed it in front of the door,before Bharti's leg.Armaan was about to defend Bharti but Geeta interrupted their thoughts.

Geeta:Bua,Bharti ko shayad yeh sab pata nahin hoga..Aap please chup ho jaayiye..Devarji,chinta matt keejiye..(smiled at Armaan)Bharti,aage jao aur rasam poora karo..

Bharti was totally stunned to see how Geeta managed the entire situation and Armaan was much more happier and smiled at Bharti.She kicked the kalash and entered home,Avantika held Bharti's hand and led her to sit in the middle of the hall across Armaan while several of their close relatives surrounded them and watched them from a distance.Bharti was feeling extremely hot and continued fanning herself while Avantika placed Armaan's and Bharti's rings into the large pot filled with rose petals and milk.

Bharti:Arre..meri angooti?(looked at Avantika)

Avantika:Bhabhi,angooti dhoondhiye..Jo pehle angooti dhoondh thi hai,uske hi raaj hogi shaadi shuda zindagi mein...All the best,bhabhi..

Radha:Dekhna Chutki, Armaan hi jeetega...

Avantika:Bua aap dekhna, Bhabhi hi jeetenge...Shuru karo!!

Bharti and Armaan placed their hands in and started searching.Armaan smiled at Bharti who was busy searching for the ring.She almost placed the other hand in to search too but Avantika caught her and told her not to cheat.Armaan actually felt a ring but he looked at Bharti who looked at him and gestured to him by shaking her head that she hasn't found the ring as of yet and she kept picking the rose petals instead.Armaan let go of the ring and pretended to continue searching.Bharti caught something but she dropped it upon seeing Armaan wink at her.Just then,she realized that it was not a rose ptal but the ring which she just dropped.Armaan got the ring and showed it around and everyone else applauded.Bharti felt irritated and felt like shouting that Armaan cheated but she didn't as just then,Armaan held her hand and wore the ring on her finger.Avantika helped Bharti find the other ring and Bharti wore the ring on Armaan's finger as well and smiled at him.

Soon, Avantika introduced her to the family members:Bauji,Maa,Radha Bua,Geeta,OMkar and herself,Avantika.Avantika wanted to show Bharti around but Bharti was very tired and Avantika brought her to Armaan's room.Avantika and Bharti saw Jiya having already slept.Bharti told Avantika to let Jiya sleep with them and Avantika smiled,leaving from there.

Bharti looked around Armaan's room which was pretty spacious.She moved the sliding door aside to walk to the balcony and felt really good to get some fresh air,fromfrom the strong winds blowing and cooling herself.She didn't realize that Armaan was already there,standing by her side.

Armaan:Heyy..

Bharti:Ohh..Hi,tumhara room kaafi bada hai..

Armaan:Humara room,aaj se..(Bharti grinned and looked away)Bharti,woh Bua ki baatein..

Bharti:(yawned out loud)Oops,sorry!!Armaan,I'm really tired and so sleepy,so kal baat karein,please?

Armaan:Yeah sure..Good night!!

Bharti went to change the saree and wore her T-shirt and baggy pants instead.At that moment,she felt like she was in heaven,feeling so free to move around and light too.She kept those jewelleries on the table attached to the mirror and just dropped herself next to Jiya and slept cozily.Armaan saw Bharti having already slept and went to get changed.After he got changed,he went to place Bharti's jewelleries in the drawer and heard Bharti's mobile ringing.He looked and smiled for it was Payal but by the time he picked it up,she had already disconnected the call.Armaan kept the phone next to the drawer,near the table lamp and turned to see Bharti sleeping while she placed her arm around Jiya.He placed Bharti's hair behind her ear and he smiled,not being able to believe that he has finally married his love.The girl of his dreams.He couldn't stop smiling at the very thought of having Bharti to himself to love his entire life.He caressed Bharti's hair,thinking to himself,"Bharti,i'll always be by your side..Always and i promise to love you forever" and planted a soft kiss on Bharti's forehead.

Just then,he realized that there was no water in the jug and he switched off the lights before going out of his room.He walked downstairs towards the kitchen to get some water.He was surprised to see Geeta who had just finished washing all the cups and saucers and she was wiping them dry.He cleared his throat,almost startling Geeta.

Geeta:Devar-ji,aap??Kuch chahiye??

Armaan:Bhabhi,aap please mujhe devarji matt pukariye..Armaan will be fine!!

Geeta:(smiled widely)Well,shayad jab se iss ghar mein aayi hoon,tab se aapki itni baatein sunn rahi hoon...Kabhi aapki tasveer nahin ki sivaay aapke bachpan ke tasveer..Well,i think Devar-ji does sound cute but just let me know if you're having problems with that..

Armaan:Nahin,aisi koi baat nahin hai..Mujhe yeh formalities pasand nahin hai,issi liye..

Geeta:So Armaan,be it...Oops,tumhe kuch chahiye??

Armaan:Haan,pani...

Geeta:Lao..(filled the jug with water)Erm thanda pani ya phir?

Armaan:Haan..Thanks!!

Geeta:Yeh lee jiye..

Armaan:Waise aap Omkar bhai se shaadi..Kab??

Geeta:Paanch mahine pehle..

Armaan:Aap khush hain na??

Geeta:Khush...(turned away,paused for a while)Haan khush hoon...

Armaan:Bhaiyya bohat lucky hai..Kyunki unhe aap jo mile hai...

Geeta:Bata nahin par...Bharti bohat lucky hai kyunki usse tum jo mile hai...

Armaan:I think it is the other way round..

Geeta:Trust me,it's only the other way round and you'll know it in due time!!

Armaan:Kyun??

Geeta:Kyunki...(heard the chyme of the clock on the wall)Bohat raat ho chuki hain aur humare baatein kal bhi ho sakthi hai so,good night!!

Armaan:Bhaiyya aap ki intezaar kar rahi hongi...

Geeta:Aur Bharti tumhari..So chaliye..Uffo,ek minute!!!Main toh bhool hi gayi..Yeh dood tumhe aur Bharti ke liye hain..Yaad se pee lena!!

Armaan:Bhabhi,actually Bharti so gayi hain...

Geeta:Kya??Itni jaldi??

Armaan:Woh bohat dhak gayi thi iss liye...

Geeta:Theekh hai par tum peeyo..Hhmm??(Armaan nodded in agreement)Ab chalo,aap se kal mulaaqat hogi...Good night!!

Armaan:Good night!!
