As everyone sat down for the afternoon tea, the plans they made for the sangeet went in drain. Niyati, Viren, Sid were shocked when they heard that the bride and the groom cannot dance as per Sood's tradition. They all practiced while keeping Viren, Sid , Divya and Nivi in center. Niyati stood up with a revolted look on her face.
She complained "But Dadaji, Dadi it's not fair. In my and Aditya's sangeet, we did danced on some songs. This is just not done. That time no one said anything, then why all this rules now?"
"That time your wedding happened in a hurry plus Aditya's mom was ill. We didn't wanted to create a scene in front of her." Dadaji replied calmly. Niyati was about to argue again when Vandana Taiji caught her eye and gestured her to sit down. Everyone felt relaxed as Vandana stepped in to support the matter. Everyone knew that Dadasaheb never refused anything to Vandana Taiji. Finally, it was decided that Viren,-Nivi, Sid-Divya can dance but only on one song and their performances will be the last ones. They all hurried to make amendments towards their performance leaving Sid, Viren, Divya and Nivi out and didn't included them in their plans for obviously one reason they all stated- now their sangeet will be a surprise for them.
Wondering what their family and friends are gonna do in the sangeet tonight, Nivi wore a pure red lehenga with a green colored duppatta, minimal yet elegant pearl and thread embroidery done on it. Her hairs tied in a plait, a red-colored paranda tied on the end of it. She wore a very simple gold necklace with matching gold earrings and a small mangtika . Divya chose to wear a dark pink lehenga, embroidery similar like Nivi's lehenga. They both chose to drape the duppata on their right shoulder, with one end tucked inside their lehenga giving it a regal view. They wore beautiful mojari in their feet completing their look and making them look very beautiful and stunning.
Viren opted for a loose fitting red sherwani whereas Sid wore a brown Sherwani. As sangeet was supposed to take place in Sharma's house, they all went together to Sharma house. They were welcomed inside by Keshav and Pratap.Guests were pouring inside. As everyone was seated comfortably, Viren glanced at the surroundings, Nivi was not there. He saw a huge stage beautifully created in the middle of the living room for sangeet. Nivi and Aditya who were now living with the Sharma's were running around to see the arrangements on the behalf of the bride's side. Sid and Viren was made to sit in different sofa, placed in front of the stage. Soon Nivi and Divya were brought out in the living room accompanied by some girls. They were made to sit beside their respective fiance.
As soon as Nivi sat beside him, Viren looked up at her and was dumbstruck to see her looking ethereal in red lehenga. His eyes kept staring at her appreciating her beautiful appearance while his fingers traced her delicate waist, pulling her more closer to him. There was a glow on her face which magnified her beauty. Nivi looked at him, soon looked down unable to look at his appreciating gaze. A red blush crept on her cheeks added to her beauty. Viren looked over his shoulder to see Sid leaning towards Divya, whispering something in her ears making her blush so much unlike Divya's usual behavior.
When everyone got settled down, the lights dimmed down suddenly and a hush fell on the crowd. Soon the curtains covering stage were drew apart. A flash light focused on the the stage as Niyati walked in looking beautiful in a blood red saree. A microphone was stuck around her ear. She looked around, acknowledging everyone and giving them her brightest smile. In a very cheerful voice, she spoke "Good Evening everyone, as the sister of Siddharth and Viren, I welcome you all here in their sangeet. We all are honored to have you all as our guests."
As Niyati stopped , flash light focused on Aditya who was walking towards stage. He joined Niyati, winking at her, he turned towards the crowd and spoke "Hello everyone, I welcome you all here as the brother of Nivi and Divya. I am not their actual brother but still our relationship never needed words." He glanced at Divya and Nivi. Their eyes brimming with tears, showing the truth of his words.
Niyati nudged at his shoulder breaking him out of his emotional state. He continued "So tonight we will start this ceremony with a very special dance."
"It's a dance for you all, but it's a recollection of the moments they spent together for a couple. Ladies and gentlemen, can we have a big round of applause before the start of the sangeet?" spoke Niyati.
As everyone started clapping, Aditya and Niyati went away from the stage while holding each others hand. Moments later, Sneha dressed like Divya entered on the stage from left while Vicky entered from right dressed as Sid. The moment they looked at each other, 'pehla pehla pyar hai' started playing in the background. They started acting like Divya and Sid while recollecting the moments they spent together. All saw how Sid and Divya who knew each other since they were kids kept fighting with each other, fighting and pulling each others hairs till 12th standard. In 12th standard, someone spread a rumor about them dating each other. Then only they realized to give this relationship a try which later turned into love. Everyone laughed as they saw Sneha making Vicky fall purposely like Divya did with Sid. They sighed with awe when they saw Vicky proposing Sneha like Sid did. As the song ended, they all saw Vicky-Sneha as Sid-Divya running away from stage when a dozen of kids came running towards them calling them 'mummy-papa.'
Everyone started laughing out loudly while clapping and appreciating the performance they all just saw. Everyone looked at Sid who looked too embarrassed to look at anyone while Divya was hiding her red face behind her hands.
Viren too was laughing when Nivi caught his hand looking alarmed. She whispered "What if they did the same thing with us Viren?" Laughter died in Viren's throat as he too started to think about it. He got up and was about to go to the backstage to stop them from doing anything like that when flash lights again started focusing on Aditya and Niyati. Once again they came back on stage while laughing like everyone else.
Aditya : "So I hope everyone enjoyed it a lot. Sid, Divya you guys are too perfect for each other but what we saw in the end please don't turn it into reality."
A fresh bout of laughter broke in the living room of Sharma house. After teasing Sid-Divya for some few minutes, Niyati spoke "Now ladies and gentlemen, hold your breath. We all are moving to the second couple who is soon going to get married along with Sid-Divya. Their love story started when they didn't even knew the meaning of love. They had their share of love, pain, separation and fun. They are the two most special person in my life- my brother Viren and my best friend Nivi. I can't express my happiness in words whenever I see them together. I just wish to see them together always."
"My brother is the one who did the same for me in my sangeet. He recreated the moments I spent with Aditya although that time he was missing Nivi very terribly and barely talked with anyone. He made sure to make my wedding perfect. So this performance is for my stupid brother and the love of his life."
The lights flashing on the stage were switched off as Aditya and Niyati walked away. Two small kids came on stage. Flashlights were back to reveal Nitya dressed as Nivi and Vishal's son Nischal dressed as Viren. They heard Niyati singing while Nitya and Nischal played together, singing and dancing together.
"Tera mujhse hai pehle ka nata koi
Yoon hi nahi Dil lubhata koi
Jaane tu ya jaane na
Maane tu yaa maane na."
The song came into end as all saw Viren (Nischal) running after the car which was taking his Nivi (Nitya) away from him. Tears formed in everyone's eyes as they watched kid's emotional performance. Once again darkness engulfed the stage. Viren wiped tears flowing from Nivi's eyes while her hold on his hand tightened. Viren hugged her tightly to calm her down.
Soon, Aditya dressed in black jeans-tee shirt appeared while removing sunglasses from his eyes. Moments later, Niyati clutching some books, dressed in a simple suit appeared. Aditya purposely collided with her reminding Viren and Nivi about their first meet in the college after so many years. Viren simply smiled while Nivi blushed when they saw Aditya-Niyati staring at each other like they did.
" Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana Hai Deewana
Deewana Deewana Deewana"
Niyati sang as they portrayed Viren fighting and irritating Nivi again and again during the starting days of their college. Everyone simply laughed while watching their tiff.

Dil ka yeh
Kya raaz hai
Jaane kya kar gaye
Jaise andhero mein tum
Chandni bhar gaye
Kar chaand taaron ko
Mashoor itna kyun
Kambakht inse bhi
khoobsoorat hai tu..
I love you
Aditya sang this time as everyone watched how after the ball, Viren(Aditya) went down on his knees and said 'I Love you Nivi.' Some whistled, some clapped while Viren and Nivi just kept looking each other, holding each others hand, completely enjoying their sangeet.

Saathiya..

Pagle se dil ne
Yeh kya kiya
Chun liya..

Tujhko devane ne
Chun liya
Dil toh uda uda re
Aasman mein badalon ke sang
Yeh toh machal machal ke
Ga raha hai sun nahi si dhun
Badmash dil toh thag hai bada
Badmash dil yeh tujh se juda
Badmash dil meri sune na zid pe ada.
Niyati enacted as jealous Nivi while seeing Soniya and Viren close, slowly realizing her feelings for Viren and later yelling ' I Love you' to Viren.

Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Kyun koi paas hai
Door hai Kyun koi
Jaane Na koi yahan pe
Aa Raha paas ya door mein ja raha
Janu na mein hoon kahan pe
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
Yeh dooriyan
Kabhi hua yeh bhi
Khali Rahon pe bhi
Tu tha mere saath
Kabhi tujhe milke lauta
mera dil yeh khali khali haath
Yeh bhi hua kabhi
Jaise hua Aabhi
Tujhko sabhi mein paa li
Tera mujhe kar jaati hai dooriyan
Satati hain dooriyan
Tarsati hain dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Kaha bhi na mene
Nahi jeena mene
Tu jo na mila
Tujhe bhule se bhi na
Bola na mene chahun fasla
Bas fasla rahein
Ban ke kasak jo kahen
Ho aur chahat yeh aur jawan
Teri meri mit jaani hai dooriyan
Begani hai dooriyan
Hat jani dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Kyun koi paas hai
Door hai Kyun koi
Jaane Na koi yahan pe
Aa Raha paas ya door mein ja raha
Janu na mein hoon kahan pe
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
Everyone watched Nivi and Viren's separation with teary eyes. Some started sobbing watching Viren crying while staring at Nivi's pic and Nivi breaking down while remembering Viren. It was a very painful performance which moved everyone in tears. Viren felt a hand of his shoulder. Moving his eyes away from the stage, he looked at Nivi who whispered "I am Sorry Viren for giving you so much pain." "Don't say it." Viren whispered which kissing her lips lightly, wiping tears from her cheeks.

Meri Duniya Hai, Tujh Mein Kahin
Tere Bin Main Kya, Kuch Bhi Nahin
Meri Jaan Mein, Teri Jaan Hai
Hoo, Saathi Mere
Meri Duniya Hai, Tujh Mein Kahin
Tere Bin Main Kya, Kuch Bhi Nahin
Everyone clapped as they saw Nivi embracing Viren after their roka and as they moved closer for the kiss, curtains drew on the stage. Everyone kept applauding for long. When Aditya and Niyati once again appeared on the stage back in their normal clothes, Viren and Nivi ran to hug them, thanking them for such a beautiful recollection of their memories. "Anything for my brother and Bhabhi." Niyati replied giving them a sweet smile.
The sangeet proceeded as Aditya-Niyati, Vicky-Sneha and Vishal-Shruti dancing on some good songs. Everyone was shocked to see Dadasaheb and Dadi's dance on 'ae meri joharjabi', elders and everyone else joined them in dance.
Finally for the second last performance, Sid and Divya danced together on song 'sajanji ghar aaye'. When they ended the song, everyone clapped loudly for them. It was Nivi and Viren's turn for dance. Viren stood up and brought his hand forward for Nivi. Nivi caught it gladly and moved towards the stage.

As their performance ended, silence fell on the crowd. Soon breaking out their reverie, all started clapping for Nivi and Viren. Viren and Nivi looked at each other with love brimming in their love. This is was definitely one of the most memorable night of their life.
