"Okay! Let's forget about this. We will talk about it tomorrow. Maa please get ready." Said Rehaan to Nandini who was still standing looking at the scenery.

He sighed seeing her not at all budging. He looked up at his dad for some help but he royally ignored.

"I promise I will tell you both why I behaved like that. I promise, infact I swear I have my reasons. Please, it's ur day maa papa please get ready." He said again helplessly.

"Fine. But Rehaan I want you to behave properly with Aru. I do not want any drama in the party. Understood?" Manik said sternly to which he nodded his head and left from there.

"Why the hell he has ur attitude Manik?" Nandini gritted her teeths.

"That's because he is my son." Nandini gave him a look of disbelief and left to get ready.

Here Rehaan came to his room and went up to his phone to see if Nisha called him or messaged but finding none he sighed and went to get ready.

Coming down he noticed almost the guests had started to come. He looked around to spot someone known but only to get disappointed.

He stood there welcoming the guests till the time other family members come.

Here in Manan's room, Manik looked at his wife who was setting her hair. Keeping the phone aside he stood up and moved towards her. Bending down he wrapped his hands around her neck from behind making her stare at him with a royal smile.

"You really look elegant."

She just blushed making him smile as he affected her the same way.

"Itna bhi kya blush karna madam? Itne saal ho gaye shadi ko you are still blushing like we are newly married."

"What can I do? If you will say such stuffs that always adores my cheeks with red." He chuckled at her words and pecked his head.

"Lets go?" He asked but she pouted and said

"No you go first. I will be there within 20 minutes." He made a face and pecking her cheek he went out.

He was descending the stairs when he saw his princess coming down. He smiled brightly. When she almost reached near him he forwarded his hand for her. She smiled brightly and took it.

As they moved down everyone were giving them the bright smile. They came down like a couple but everyone knew their bond.

Rehaan smiled seeing them. He looked at his watch and then at entrance waiting for his girl to come who is angry at him.

"Abhi bhi naraj hai kya tujhse?" Neil his best friend kept his hand Rehaan's shoulder asking him.

"Hmm, but koi na. Mana lunga."

Neil smiled and bobbed his head and roamed his around when he spotted that his eyes was longing for feom so many days. But seeing her smiljng brought and big smile on his face.

They heard people whispering that's when their attention went on the stairs to see Nandini coming down slowly and steadily balancing herself.

Manik kept staring at her, Aaradhya saw her dad busy in ogling at her mother. She unwrapped her hand from his and pushed him a bit breaking his trance and made him look at her.

"Go, before your son takes away ur wife." She said pointing at Rehaan who was moving towards Nandini. Manik moved and reached nefore he could and passed his hand towards Nandini.

Rehaan smiled and backed off. Nandini held his hand and they both moved forward.

"You are looking really beautiful Miss. Malhotra." Aaradhya jumped on her place keeping her hand on her heart.

"You scared me Neil." Neil smiled sheepishly and apologized.

"I'm sorry. By the way, you didn't reply to my compliment." He said pouting his lips.

Aaradhya went aww on him and pulled his cheeks.

"Aap bahut cute hai Mr. Sharma. And thank you for the compliment." Neil kept his hand on his heart and replied.

"Haye! Dil loot liya. Agar koi aur bolta na ki main cute hun toh bura maan jata but aapke muh se toh sab kuch acha hi lagta hai." He said making her give him a smile and chuckling at him

"When will you stop flirting with my sister Mr. Sharma?" Rehaan asked wrapping his hands around Neil who smiled at him. Where as Aaradhya looked at him and just passed him a smile but then turned her gaze.

"Yeh le. Teri wali aa gayi." As soon as Rehaan from Neil his gaze fell on her who was looking really beautiful. She directly moved towards Manik and Nandini.

"Happy anniversary uncle aunty." Nandini smiling hugged her tightly and so did Manik.

"Thank you Nisha. Rehaan aur baki sab vaha hai." She bobbed her head and went and stood beside Aradhya hugging her sideways.

"Hey! Neil. How are you? Baat hi nahi tumse." She greeted him royally ignoring Rehaan who was waiting for her to say something.

Neil looked at Aaradhya and did some action telling her to leave them alone. She bobbed her head and excusing herself and himself they both left from there.

Before Nisha could move away Rehaan held her hand.

"Listen...."

"Good evening everyone. Thank you for joining this evening. Living a life without a life partner is liks black and white. But when you have a partner ur life seems colourful. And I'm very grateful to have such a wonderful partner in my life. Nandini." He wrapped his hands around her shoulder. She smiled and looked at him.

"It feels amazing to have her. And she has made life more beautiful by giving these two previous diamonds in my life who are priceless." He pointed at Rehaan and Aaradhya who were standing with their friends. Nisha took her hand from his hold making him look at her. She went and stood beside Aradhya.

"And... I'm very proud to be their dad. If this lady wouldn't have been here beside me all the time then may be I would have lost the hope for forever." Manik said getting a bit emotional.

"That's why. Today I want to share this very important news. From today onwards Nandini, Rehaan and Aaradhya hold 25% of shares in Malhotra industry." They all got shocked. Nandini stared at him.

"This isn't a gift but a respect. They all know I'm not at all expressive. I can't share my emotions, I can't express what I feel. So this is just a way of saying that you guys are really important to me. Happy anniversary to you Nandini." He smiled looking at her. She hugged him.

"Now it's time....." Aaradhya stopped in between seeing the person whom she was waiting from long time.

But seeing Aarush there Rehaan made a bad face and Neil looked at them with pain on his expression.

"Finally! You reached." She held his hand and moved towards her parents who welcomed him with smile.

"Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs. Malhotra." He gave the bouquet to them. They moved away from the centre and stood exactly opposite to Rehaan and Neil.

"I feel like breaking his bones." Rehaan mumbled making Neil chuckled sadly.

"So that, your sister hates you more."

"I wish he was alone."

"Chup reh. Control kar mere bhai already dono naraj hai aur party kharab mat kar uncle aunty ki." Rehaan bobbdd his head and they moced towards the centre and kaka brought the cake.

Manan cut the cake and fed each other, then the two girls and then Rehaan and Neil excluding Aarush who kind off was hurt but didn't show it up. Aaradhya hardly noticed this as she was busy with Nisha.

"Now let the couples come on the stage and set some fire." The DJ shouted on the mike.

"Can I have a dance with my lady?" Manik asked Nandini who happily gave in.

"May I have a dance with you?" Rehaan asked Nisha who didn't budge him and moved towards Neil forwarding her hand to him she asked him for a dance. He was going to deny but she showed him her eyes. He had to agree to it.

Rehaan made a face but nevertheless. He was going to go away when his one of the colleague came up to him asking to have a dance with her.

They both came on stage and all the couples were dancing on the floor.

"Do you know how sexy you are looking today Ree?" Said Cheryl seductively making him smile at her awkwardly.

"Thanks. Even you don't look bad." He said and turned his gaze to see Nisha averting her gaze and he noticed a tinge of jealousy in her eyes which made him smirk.

"Actually. You are really looking hot. I mean the red colour suits you." He said unwilling making her blush.

Nisha here was burning with jealousy and so way Neil looking at how Aradhya and Aarush were enjoying the night.

"Now let's change the partners." Said the DJ making everyone change the partners.

Now Nisha was in Rehaan's arms, and Aaradhya in Neil's arms. Aaradhya smiled at him. He looked at her for permission to put his hands around her waist she smiled and bobbed her head. He kept his hands on her waist and they bith started swaying on the music.

"What were you doing?" Nisha asked gitting her teeths.

"Me? What did I do?" He asked innocently making her glare at him.

"Will you stop acting like you are innocent? You were flirting with her." She said glaring at him who chuckled at her.

"Stop that smile of yours Rehaan before I punch ur face."

"Oww! Please mere handsome se face ko punch na karo madam. Bahut saare marte hai is face pe." She stopped dancing making him frown. He too stopped and noticed she glaring at him.

She held his hand and took him off the floor and moved outside the house.

"What is ur problem haan?" She asked to which he took a deep breathe.

"Okay, I'm sorry. Subah gusse mein I said that. And also I wasn't in really good mood."

Nisha sighed and taking his hands in hers she asked "tell me seriously Rehaan. What is with you not accepting Aarush for Aru?"

"I'll tell you. But not today. I promise."

"Promise."

"Fine. Bye." She turned to go but Rehaan held her hand and pulled her back making her back touch his chest.

"Am I forgive?" He asked nuzzling in her neck making her close her eyes.

"Am I?" She turned slowly and looked deeply in his eyes. She bobbdd her head and he directly captured his lips.

Inside Neil was making Aaradhya laugh or blush. Aarush way seeing them like that and was getting jealous too.

"And then you remember that red nose after you banged your face on that flower pot. Gosh you were looking so cute. God u were crying as if rakshas aa gaya tha." He teased her making her smack on his chest.

"Stop teasing me. It's so embarrassing." She hid herself in such a way that othee felt as if they were hugging each other.

"Okay, fine I won't tease you. Relax" she pointed her forefinger and asked.

"Sure?" He bobbdd his head making her smile. Her gaze fell on Aarush who looked away with disappointed look on his face. She immediately withdrew her hands making Neil startled.

"Hey what happened?"

"Nothing. Mmm... I need to drink some water. Excuse me." She moved from the floor.

Later on even Rehaan and Nisha came inside and soone everyone started singing Happy birthday song.

Rehaan smiled. He moved with Nisha beside him towards the centre. It was always a tradition in their house after the celebration of Manan's anniversary to celebrate his birthday.

He hugged his dad then his mom, taking Aradhya in side hug he cut the cake and fed her first then his father, mother and Nisha and of course Neil.

"Thank you!" He mumbled to his family. They smiled at him and rest enjoyed the party.
