Now that evening had arrived, it was time for the marriage's first ceremony. However, this is India, sir, and a marriage is not regarded as a marriage here until after the work ceases and the event is set to begin, regardless of whether it is Hindu or Muslim. Malik House was also experiencing something similar. The men of the house were all busy preparing for the event, while the women of the house were busy getting ready for it on one side. Anubhav and Ashok were also working on the house's lighting installation.

Then his eyes landed on Haseena's balcony, where she stood in a golden sharara, her long hair flying open as she did her hair. She was still without makeup. Even so, it appeared breathtakingly lovely in this area's flickering lighting and moonlight. Similar to how a recorder pauses at a specific melody, Anubhav's eyes had paused on Haseena.

As she worked on her hair, Haseena was humming something softly and holding a hairpin between her lips. Anubhav then noticed that a man was erecting a ladder close to Haseena's balcony head in order to install lighting. Subsequently, Anubhav grabbed the ladder from the man and used it to ascend Haseena's balcony. Ashok and that man kept staring at Anubhav.

Ashok: (murmuring) abe ye Pita ji ka aadmi hai. Aisa hi chalta raha tha toh ek din iss Aashiq ki Lanka lag jayegi.

Looking into Haseena's eyes, Anubhav started installing lightings. In the golden lighting, Haseena's golden attire was enhancing her beauty.
Anubhav looked at the moon and then again into her eyes.

Anubhav: kya baat hai? Aaj koi chhand ko compitition de raha hai!

Haseena: Jab koi suraj bankar life mein ata hai toh chaand ko bhi chamakna hi padta hai.

Anubhav: Dekhna Zara dulhan se zyada mat chamak jana, varna dulha meri dulhan Ko chura le jayega.

Haseena blushed and went inside. Anubhav smirked and crossed the balcony to follow her.

Ashok: abe ooh! Kaha?

Anubhav rolled his eyes.

Anubhav: Andhe hoka? Dikh nahi Raha? Sambhal lo!

Saying he went inside.

Ashok: Kamaal hain! Hey Mahadev ab kahi iski Aashiqui ke chakkar mein humare lene ke Dene na lag jaye.

As Anubhav went inside, he saw Haseena was fixing her dupatta! He locked the door. Hearing the door latched Haseena turned behind and got scared.

Haseena: ap?

She walked towards him and was about to say something but Anubhav placed finger on her lips.
He took her infront of the mirror and made her sit. He took out something from his pocket that was covered in green leaves.

Haseena: ye gajra?

Anubhav: ek khubsurat ladki keliye, khubsurat taufa!

Haseena smiled.

Haseena: Toh ap he pehena dijiye.

Anubhav: ijazat ho toh tayaar bhi kar du?

Anubhav stared into her eyes through the mirror and she noded maintaining the eye contact.

He picked up the comb and started combing her hairs. Haseena smiled adoring him. He started locking her hairs into plates and restricted them around a bow. He then took the gajra in his hand and started coiling it around her braided plates. He aesthetically curled the corners of the gajra through the pin into her hairs. His eyes went on the plate full with roses, he pick a red rose from that plate and fixed it into her hairs.
He leaned closer to her ears and whispered.

Anubhav: Dekho mil gayi Khushboo tumhari aur inn phoolon ki, Jaise kaynat ke sare nazare ek shaqs mein aake bas gaye ho.

Haseena blushed.
Then Anubhav kneel down in front of her and took her feet on his lap. Haseena tried to stop him but he nodded his head negatively.

Anubhav: vo pyaar pyaar kaisa apne pyaar ke pairon mein apna sabkuch na dhundh sake.

Haseena's eyes moistened out of love. Anubhav picked up the anklet kept there and started wearing it on Haseena's feet. He was deliberately taking more time than necessary for Haseena to wear the anklet but Haseena was enjoying it. Finally, when Anubhav made Haseen wear the anklet, he started filling bangles in her hands.

Anubhav: Dekhna Haseena ek din aayega, jab inn chudiyon ki jagh, tumhare haath mein mere naam ka chudda hoga.

After that he decorated Haseena's forehead with a bindiya.

Anubhav: tumhari iss maang mein ek din mere naam ka sidoor hoga.

While doing Haseena's makeup, Anubhav had dreams in his eyes and Haseena was lovingly looking at the dreams of her future in Anubhav's eyes. After that Anubhav made her wear a necklace.

Anubhav: ek din, iss tarah mai tumhe apne naam ka mangalsutra pehenauga aur uss din tum sabke saamne meri ho jaogi.

Hearing all this from Anubhav, Haseena's eyes filled up with joy. Then Anubhav decorated her forehead with a bindi and said...

Anubhav: Aur uske baad hume yun chup chup ke milna nahi padega.

Anubhav asked about her tears and shook his head in no.

Anubhav: meri Haseena ke ankho mein aasu aache nhi lagte.

Haseena: par ye toh khushi ke aasu hai.

Anubhav: khushi ke assu ho ya dukh ke, meri Haseena ke ankho mein assu acche nahi lagte.

He held her face beneath his hand.

Anubhav: inn akho mein toh bass kajal accha lagta hai, vo kaajal jo inn ankon ko aur katilana banata hai.

Haseena cracked into giggling.

Anubhav: vaise inn ankho mein ek aur cheez hai jo kajal se bhi zyada acchi lagti hai.

Haseena: kya?

Anubhav: mere liye pyaar.

Haseena blushed and her eyelids went down in delicacy.

Anubhav: Hayee!

Anubhav kept his hand near his heart. He took her hands in his and placed a gentle kiss on it that made Haseena's heart flutter.

Anubhav:

"Pal pal tumhare liye pyar badta hai,
Har bar tumhen Dekh Kar bhi bar bar tumhare liye ye Dil thaharta Hai,
Ki najar Na lag jaaye tumhen jamane ki...
Yahi Soch kar Is Dil Ka haal bigadata hai."

He then raised his hands on the air and brought them besides his forehead after taking them over Haseena, he pressed his  fingers that twisted loudly.  It took the Kajal and applied it behind her ears.

Anubhav: ab majal hai kisi buri nazar ki jo aake meri Haseena ko lage? Hmm?

Haseena smiled looking into his eyes.

"Haseena! Kitna tayar hogi, jaldi aa", called her mom from outside.

Anubhav: chalta hu.

Haseena's smile faded a bit.

Anubhav: aisa mat karo na...tum janti ho ki ruk sakta toh jane ki baat hi nahi karta.

Haseena noded.

Anubhav: Toh jau?

Haseena noded positively.  Anubhav got up and started walking towards the balcony but suddenly stopped.

Haseena: kya hua?

Anubhav: function ke baad chhat per aaogi na?

Haseena blushed and turned around. Anubhav smiled.

Anubhav: main tumhara intezar karunga.

Haseena noded and then Anubhav finally left.
