Om and Shiv entered the venue where Gauri had called them. The first thing Shiv saw was Anika standing on the entrance. She looked really pretty in a blue salwar kameez. Shiv in the moment lost his balance while Anika move ahead and balanced him.

Anika: "Aap theek hain?"

Shiv steadied him: "Ji ji i am good..."

Om hid his laugh.

Om: "Hi Bhabhi!"

Anika smiled: "Hi Om."

Shiv was staring at Anika and Anika was glancing at him every now and then.

Om looked here and there searching for Gauri but couldn't find her. He could feel her presence though so he asked from Anika who was looking at Shiv and broke their trance.

Om: "Bhabi yeh kya? Ap dono toh shayad ankho hi ankho mai mangni karlein gy!"

Shiv slapped Om on his arm.

Shiv: "Chup kar!"

Anika blushed.

Om: "Apki sherni behen ny humay yahan bulaya aur ab chuhon ki tran chup ky beth gai hai. OH BHABI KI BEHNA ho kidhr zara samnay toh aoo!"

Suddenly he heard the sound of her bangles and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Aksar meri baton mai chupkar hasti hai tu
Tujhse hi rooh juri
Mujhmai basti hai tu"

He saw Gauri descending the stairs and he couldn't take his eyes of her charm. She was as charming as the stars. He looked at the sky and smiled again. Gauri showed him her full smile.

She came closer to him and forward her hand for a handshake and om looked on. He shook the thoughts away and grabbed her hand like he was grabbing on his life.

"Thamay thamay hatho ko
Kachi paki raaho py
Mai teray sung chalon"

Gauri raised her eyebrows asking om as what he was doing by not leaving her hand. She took it back.

Gauri: "Dii, jiju ap kia kharay hn lets do rehearsals for your engagement. Aur dii apka yeh sariyal devar toh khara hi rahy ga par ap chalo. She pushed Anika and Shiv on the stage."

Gauri turned away from om and smiled looking at her hand which she had shaken with Om. She put the same hand near her neck and smiled.

"Lamha lamha zindagi
Dubkiyan liye khushiyo ki
Teray ishq mai tair lu...."

Anika: "Gauri karna kya hai? Tunay statue bana ky khara kara dia hai."

Shiv smiled.

Anika: "Ap kya haas rahy hain?!"

Gauri put her arm around Anika: "Meri pyari Anika dii. Aj ap dono ki engagement hai ap dono cheif guest hongy toh dance to banta hai. Kyu jiju?"

Om: "She is right bhabi kbhi kbhi apki behen akal ki baat karti hai."

Gauri: "Tum Jiju ho?"

Shiv: "Aray aray stop fighting you guys bacho ki tran larty ho!"

Om showed her tongue to Gauri and grabbed a bottle of water to drink it.

Shiv: "Saali sahiba ap btaiye karna kya hai?"

Anika was confused.

Anika: "Ab gana bta jispy dance karna hai."

Gauri: "Pehly Jiju ap hath rakhiye kamar par"

Shiv put his hand on his kamar.

Gauri: "Offo jiju apni ni dii ki kamar par!"

Shiv was about to but stopped: "WHAT? Kahan?"

Om spit his water and laughed.

Anika: "Gauri? Kya hai yeh?"

Gauri: "Kya? Ap dono shadi kar rahy hn ark dosray py atom bomb ni gira rahy."

Gauri took Shiv's hand and placed it on Anika's kamar. As he placed his hand on her kamar it sent chills down his nerve. Anika was so conscious she looked down.

Gauri taking Anika hand and placing it on Shiv's shoulder, as both came in a bit of physical contact it felt good.

Both Shiv Anika looked into each others eyes while Om and Gauri showed each other a thumbs up sign and got off the stage.

Gauri: "Dii jiju ap rehearsal karo mein upar sy flowers ly ky ati hoon!"

Om: "Mein Gauri ki help karta hoon.

They both ran up

Anika gulped down her nervousness: "Mujhy dance ni ata Shiv..."

Shiv came closer to her ears surrounding his hand on her waist properly and whispered: "Mein hoon na ma sikha du ga."

Anika: "Gauri toh pagal hai"

Shiv made Anika move a bit with the slow music playing: "Not a word against my saali"

Anika looked up and smiled.

"Inn nigahon mai
Tumko basa laein gy
Dil ki dharkan mai
Tumko chupa laein gy"

Anika: "Aap dance acha karty hn"

Shiv: "Sirf apky sath."

They both looked at each other with adoration.

And from up Gauri was so happy looking at her dii and jiju dancing while Om looked at her and adored her smile.

"Meray ruburu
Tu hi tu
Tu hi tu"

Gauri saw him looking at her she looked down and cleared her throat.

Gauri: "Koi kaam vaam hai partner?"

Om smiled: "Aapko suna mera favourite kaam hai bhabi ki behna."

Gauri blushed.

Gauri: "Idea acha tha na jiju aur dii ko paas lanay ka?"

Om: "Perfect tha"

Gauri smiled: "Ehum ehum lets go bohat kaam hai."

Om nodded.

"Meri good morning tu hai
Meri good night bhi tu
Yeh dunia wrong lagay
Meray liye right bhi tu"

ENGAGEMENT DAY:

Simultaneously both Om and Gauri were making their siblings ready. Om was making Shiv wear his shervani and on other hand Gauri was making Anika wear her bangles.

Shiv looked at himself in the mirror and set his shervani collar. Om hugged him from back.

Anika set her dupatta on the side, Gauri put kala tika on Anika's neck while Anika laughed. She hugged Gauri.

Om scented Shiv with perfume "perfect bhai" and Shiv placed his hand on Om's cheek.

Gauri gave the last touch by applying blush on Anika: "Beautiful dii"

Anika: "Tu bhi tyar hoja ab okay?!"

Gauri: "Yun gai yun aai!"

After an hour Gauri stepped out looking like an angel.

Anika: "Yeh yun gai yun aai tha?"

Prerna and Mr. Bajaj came inside.

Prerna: "Tayaar huwe ki nahi?!"

She stopped seeing both her daughters ready. She awed them. While Anika and Gauri ran to mr bajaj and prerna hugging them.

Mr bajaj: "Prerna kindly meri princesses ki nazar utaro. My dolls!"

Prerna: "My babies." - She set Anika's dupatta – "Nervous baby?"

Anika nodded: "Little bit mummy"

Gauri: "Dii nervous kyu apko khush hona chaiye your kanji ankho wala prince charming is coming for you!"

Prerna playfully hit Gauri: "Shaitan. Apni behan ko tung na kar."

Mr bajaj: "God bless you both!"

All of them hugged.

Ram and priya saw Shiv and Om coming down the stairs.

Priya: "Mere bete..."

Ram: "Meray bhi hain . Aooo meray shehzado aoo!"

priya: "Mr Kapoor ap bhi na!"

Shiv hugged ram: "Dad!"

Ram: "Thank God Shiv finally teri mangni hai warna mujhy toh darr tha tu bahu ki jaga damad laaye ga."

Om laughed hugging Priya.

Shiv eyed him: "Shut up Om!"

Om stopped: "Sorry bhai" – (Pretending to be sad)

Priya: "Shiv chotay bhai ko koi dant-ta hai?"

Shiv: "Drama hai yeh apka beta!"

Om smiled.

All four of them hugged.

Priya: "Let's go now we are getting late."

ENGAGEMENT VENUE:

Prerna and Mr. Bajaj with Anurag, Rudra, Bhavya and her mother welcomed the Kapoors. Shiv took Prerna and Mr Bajaj's blessings. Om did the same. Priya and Prerna hugged each other.

After they went

Bhavya in her mind "bohat khush hain na sb. Dekhtay hain yeh khushi kb tk rehti hai? After all Anika bajaj ko engagement gift toh daina hi hoga mujhy"

She smirked.

She was about to go when somebody held her wrist. She looked at who was it and saw Rudra.

Bhavya: "What?"

Rudra: "Yeh toh mujhy apse pochna chaiye bhavini"

Bhavya: "its bhavya and rudra singhania i guess meray ilawa bhi tumharay paas bohat kaam hota hoga right"

Rudra: "Aapka chehra parhta hoon na toh sbse zarori kaam apko samjhana hota hai."

Bhavya: "Find something else okay. Aur kis haq sy mujhy samjhaty ho?"

Rudra comes closer to her: "Pata ni. Magar kisi haq se toh karta hi hoon. I guess apky little brain mai kuch chal raha hai. Magar i am telling you not to do anything."

Bhavya: "Itni fikar unn bajajs ky function ki? That i might ruin it."

Rudra: "Fikar outcome ki hai bhavini jo apky liye galt nikal sakta hai AUR MAI APKO KUCH GALAT NI KARNAY DU GA APNY SATH."

Bhavya went silent not knowing what to say she looked away.

Rudra while going: "My eyes are on you."

And he went.

Bhavya stomped her foot: "Pata ni isky samny mai kuch bol ku ni pati. Why can't he mind his business!?!"

Shiv was anxiously waiting for Anika when Om came.

Om: "Mauhrat mai adha ghanta hai tb tk Anika bhabi ni aein gi neechay bhai. Thora hosla rakh!"

Shiv: "Hosla hi toh ni hota. Mai inn sbse pehly apni dulhan ko dekhna chahta hoon om. Kuch kar na!"

Om: "Mein kya karu?!"

Shiv: "apny bhai ki help!"

Shiv made a puppy face.

Om: "Seriously? Agr maa ko pata chala toh mai ni bachaon ga tujhy!"

Shiv: "Done!"

Shiv and Om tip toed upstairs.

Om: "I am scared bhai tu phasaye ga!"

Shiv: "Darr mat tera bhai hai na!"

Om: "Woh hai bhabi ka room i guess . Gauri told me ky bride ka room left py hai."

Shiv looked curiously: "Gauri tujhy yeh bhi btati hai?"

Om tried to change the topic: "Wohi hai i saw bhabi."

Shiv: "Kidhr kidhr?"

Om: "Wahan."

Shiv: "Om tu yahi ruk see ky koi na aye andar."

Om: "Cool par jaldi karna!"

Shiv smiled and nodded.

Shiv opened the door of the room and saw Anika's back she was trying to tie a neck piece.

Anika: "Gauri acha huwa you came dekh na yeh ni horaha. Mummy ko bol mai yeh utar rahi hoon ya tu akay bandh de."

Shiv couldn't stop himself and walked towards he . He went too close and Anika turned at the same time and got shocked.

Anika: "Aap?"

"Tose naina jabse milay
Bangayeeee silsalayyyyy..."

Shiv looked at how perfect she was looking. Her eyes were shinning adorned with kohl. Shiv was lost in her beauty.

"Ho sudh budh khoi hai khoi maine
Haan jaan gawai hai maine
Haan tujhko basaya hai dharkan mai
Saawreeee..."

Shiv: "You look beautiful."

Anika was shy: "Aisay mauhrat sy pehly yun ana. Apshagun hota hai."

Shiv: "Ab kuch bura ni hosakta."

Anika: "Koi dekh ly ga..."

Shiv: "just wanted to see my bride"

Anika: "ap jaiye please"

Shiv: "I cannot believe kuch arsay mai ap meri hongi"

Anika smiled.

Shiv: "Waiting"

And he went.

Shiv got out of the room and om saw him going: "Hushhhhhh bhai toh jaldi farig hogaye. Chal beta om lets see Gauri kidhr hai!"

He smiled by the thought of her.

He turned and dashed into Gauri who was about to fall and om held her in the right time surrounding her waist.

Gauri was stunned.

"Ishq jaisay hai aek andhiii
Ishq hai aek tufaan"

Om steadied her and tried to move back when he saw her chain stuck in his buttons. Both got the pull and came closer

"Ishq ky agay bebas hai
Dunia ka har insan"

Om and Gauri looked at each other straight in the eyes. They could hear each others heart beats. Om got the chain free when Gauri held his hand.

"Ishq mai sb dewaane hain
Ishq mai sb hairan
Ishq mai sb kuch mushkil hai
Ishq mai sb asan"

Om: "Kya huwa?"

Gauri kept looking at him like there was no tomorrow.

Gauri: "Dur kyu jaa rahey ho?"

Om: "Kya?"

Gauri: "Matlb yahan ku aye ho?"

Om: "Ab se mai paas paas hi rehnay wala hoon Gauri ji"

He nudged her shoulder smiling and going away. She covered her face smiling. Om looked at her and touched his heart.

"Haayeee
Tumse milkay dil ka ha jo haal kia kahein
Hogya hai kaisa yeh kamal kia kahaein"

Bhavya saw everybody dancing happily and then her eyes landed on the basket which was prepared by Gauri and om as a surprise hanging right next to the chandelier.

Bhavya: "Woww so beautiful na. Happy happy engagement woh bhi Anika bajaj ki. Sorry mama but mai kaisay inn bajaj sisters ko khush rehnay du jinho ny meri life mera career barbaad kardia tha mujhy university sy nikalwaya tha. Karma will hit them obviously na."

She saw the rope of the basket and took out a knife. She was about the cut the rope when somebody grabbed her hand. Bhavya gets shocked and see it was Gauri.

Gauri: "Raasi jal gai magar bal ni gaya. Bhavini tum sudhro gi ni kbhi haina?"

She shook bhavya aggressively.

Gauri shouted : "HAINAAAAAA???"

Bhavya: "Gauri mujhy choro!"

Gauri: "Kyu?!"

Mr bajaj and prerna saw Gauri and bhavya quarrelling and ran to them. Rudra also followed them.

Prerna: "Gauri baby what are you doing? Choro bhavini ka hath!"

Mr bajaj: "Baby kya huwa hai? Itna gussa!"

Gauri: "Mummy papa humnay kaha tha apse kaha tha na ky yeh larki ni sudhar sakti. Yeh dii ka function kharab karny yahan aai thi. Kuch galat kar rahi thi yeh!"

Bhavya: "what nonsense aisa kuch ni hai mrs bajaj!"

Gauri:" btaein abhi hum tumhy? Yeh churi apna gala katnay keliye rakhi hai? Isi sy tumhara gala kaat daein?"

Prerna was shocked: "Gauri!"

Mr bajaj: "Baby leave her!"

Rudra was shocked.

Bhavya: "Tum behnein khud ko samjhati kya ho?!"

Gauri: "AEEE!" - she showed her hand to bhavya – "Meri behen ka naam bhi apni zuban sy mat laina. Koi buri soch meri jeeji ki traf ayee yeh hum bardasht ni karein gy!"

Prerna and mr bajaj exchange looks and lipped: "jeeji?!"

They were confused as hell.

Gauri: "Humnay kuch bola nahin toh humari khamoshi ko kamzori samjh bethi tum? Tum ni sudhro gi haina? Lekin tum jaisiyo ko sudharna humay ata hai!"

Prerna: "Jeeji? Humay? Kaisay bol rahi ho tum Gauri?"

Gauri: "Seedhi zuban sy ni samjhay gi toh aek jhaanp mai deewar py sata daein gy iss madam ko. Phir sudhry gi yeh warna GAURI KUMARI SARMA humara naam ni."

Prerna was startled.

Mr bajaj got Gauri's arm and make her look at his way: "Who is Gauri kumari sharma baby? YOU ARE GAURI BAJAJ." – He slightly shook Gauri who seemed returning conscious.

Prerna: "Mr. bajaj yeh kaisi language bol rahi hai? Kia bola isnay? Kia bol rahi ho Gauri? Kia bola tumny abhi?"

Mr bajaj: "Prerna relax, not right now."

Rudra to bhavya: "Ap kindly meray sath chaliye."

Gauri: "Mummy abhi maine ki bola? Btaiye na? Kia naam lia maine?" – She was confused and also agitated.

Prerna hugged Gauri calming her down.

Gauri closed her eyes to calm her nerves while mr bajaj placed his hand on her head.

LATER

Everything was set for the ring ceremony. Shiv and Anika were standing in front of each other on a small stage with their respective families on their sides. Om gave the ring to Shiv who held Anika's hand and made her wear it. Then also Anika made Shiv wear the ring given to her by Gauri. Shiv smiled at Anika who hid a smile as well looking down and blushing.

Om: "Officially welcome to the Kapoor family Bhabhi." – He said to Anika and then looked at Gauri who was a bit silent unlike usually as she was still disturbed about what happened few minutes ago. He thought about something and went off the stage.

Everybody was clapping as the ring ceremony was completed; Ram and Mr. Bajaj hugged while also Priya and Prerna congratulated each other.

Suddenly music is heard and everybody looked on. Gauri's trance seemed to get broken as she saw Om walking among the guests looking at her.

Om: "Banno ki saheli, resham ki dori"

As he indicated her, Gauri blushed a bit and hid behind Anika.

Om: "Chup chup ke sharmaaye, dekhe chori chori"

He winked at Gauri and she immediately recomposed pretending to look away but just then Om came to her and grabbed her wrist taking her to dance with him. He made her twirl twice and then made her half fall in his arms.

Om: "Yeh mane yah na mane, mein to ispe mar gaya!"

Gauri slightly pushed him and then turned around walking ahead with a little smile on her lips as Om danced behind her doing the hook steps of the song.

Om: "Yeh ladki haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!
Yeh ladki haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!"

Gauri turned around and faced Om putting her hands on her waist. She walked ahead while he backed off.

Gauri: "Babul ki gaaliyan na chadd ke jaana,
Pagal deewana isko samjhaana!"

She went to Mr. Bajaj and hugged him from behind surrounding his neck with her arms.

Gauri: "Babul ki gaaliyan na chadd ke jaana,
Pagal deewana isko samjhaana!"

She moved aside from Mr. Bajaj and suddenly Om held her pallu.

Gauri: "Dekho ji dekho yeh to mere peechey pad gaya"

Om pulled her closer surrounding her waist with his hands but she playfully slapped his forehead and got herself freed.

Gauri: "Yeh ladka haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!
Yeh ladka haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!" – She did the hook step.

Gauri and Om went to Shiv and Anika respectively and took them on the dance floor. Shiv tried stopping Om and Anika was trying to do the same with Gauri but just then rikara pushed shivika towards each other and Anika bumped into Shiv's arms placing her hands on his chest. Both looked in each other's eyes.

Om: "Well done partner!" – He said to Gauri who showed him a thumbs up winking.

Shiv touched Anika's lips: "Labh kahey na kahey, bolti hai nazar"

He hit his shoulder against Anika's one: "Pyaar nehi chupta, yaar chupane se!"

Anika blushed and ran a bit away. She covered her head with ghoongat and danced.

Anika: "Roop ghoongat mai ho to suhana lagey" – She removed the ghoongat and looked at Shiv – "Baat nehi banti yaar batane se!"

Shiv grabbed her hand and twirled her, made her fall in his arms and then stand again touching her nose.

Shiv: "Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane Khuda!"

They both danced.

"Yeh ladki haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!
Yeh ladka haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!"

Rudra forwarded a hand towards Bhavya to ask her for dance. She looked at it but shook her head.

Bhavya: "Maangne se kabhi haath milta nahin,
jodiyan banti hain pehle se sabki"

She walked away with an amused expression on her face.

Shiv came to Rudra who was looking at Bhavya and placed his elbow on his shoulder shaking his head. Rudra looked at him and Shiv made a "watch me" sign to him.

Shiv went to Anika and held her dupatta surprising her. He placed it on his shoulders and walked ahead dragging Anika with him.

Shiv: "Oh leke baarat ghar tere aaunga mein"

Anika pulled her dupatta away from his grip and was about to leave when she felt like something was stopping her. She turned around just to see the corner of her dupatta entangled with Shiv's watch.

Shiv smiled: "Meri nahin yeh to marzi hai Rab ki!"

Anika freed her dupatta: "Arey jaa re ja re jhooti moothi baatein na bana!"

Gauri joined her and both danced together: "Yeh ladka haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!"

Om and Shiv danced together too: "Yeh ladki haye Allah, hai hai re Allah!"

They also took Rudra to dance with them and Bhavya joined too.

While on one side there were happiness and celebrations going on...

ON THE OTHER HAND

In a huge room, a person was sitting on a chair and talking on the phone.

"WHAT?! The contract has been given to Kapoors?! HOW DARE THEY?!" – A male voice growled.

From the other side someone replied: "Yes and because of that there has been a huge loss of your money, Sahab. We also heard that Mr. Kapoor is now getting his elder son married with Mr. Bajaj's elder daughter..."

Hearing this, the person angrily stood up from the chair which he jerked away in rage. He turned around and his face is shown: it was Kaali Thakur.

"Kapoors and Bajajs ki khushiyo mai kaise bhang daalna hai tum log jaano." – He said to his man on the phone.

"Befikar rahiye Sahab" was the reply he got from the other side.

Kaali Thakur cut the call and looked on. He clenched his fists.
