Randhir stood in front of the mirror in ISRC's Boy's room. He smiled adjusting the Bandhgala of his navy-blue suit. He buttoned the coat properly and tugged the hem gently. Just then the door to the room opened and Joy and Sumit came tumbling. They fell on the floor, one over the other. Randhir looked at them, alarmed.

'What the hell?' He exclaimed. Arjun walked into the room and kicked the guys on his way.

'Ignore these fools, we have something for you.' Arjun said. He smiled forwarding Randhir a Tab. Randhir frowned at him as he took the Tab from him. He looked at the screen and wide smile appeared on his face.

'Yoyo!' He gasped.

Seeing Yoyo after such a long gap made Randhir very happy. It seemed like ages they had last seen each other. Yoyo smiled and waved at him. He has changed a lot since he shifted to Canada. His hair spiked with blonde highlights, trimmed stubble but the small ring on his thick eyebrow remains the same.

'Kaisa hai?' (How are you) Randhir asked

'Mast hoon, Paaji (I am fine)' Yoyo replied.

Randhir felt emotional looking at one of his friends after so long. He exhaled deeply and looked away.

'Aur Yaar? I heard you are getting engaged to Sanyukta tonight.' Yoyo said. Randhir looked back at the screen and nodded.

'You couldn't come for the engagement, but you must come for the wedding.' He said. His tone little stern.

Yoyo gave out a small laugh and nodded, - 'Yes, yes. I will.'

Randhir smiled. 'I am calling Parth, as well. No excuses. You guys will be the Baraatis.' He further added.

'Definitely. Unlike last time this time, your friend will dance like crazy and drink till he drops.' Yoyo assured him.

Joy, Sumit, and Arjun smiled looking at Randhir. Joy nudged Sumit and Arjun, when they looked at him he gestured them to leave. They nodded and tiptoed out of the room. Randhir got so busy talking to Yoyo that he didn't notice.

***************************************

Sanyukta felt jittery as she got ready for her engagement. The engagement is just a private affair with not many guests. Only three of her cousins have flown to Delhi to attend her engagement. Nevertheless, she is happy as she wanted an intimate ceremony.

Sanaya teased Sanyukta as she placed the sequin dupatta over her head. Sanyukta blushed and tried busying herself with the blue and white bangles on her wrist. Vidhushi was busy doing Sanyukta's hair while Kritika was on the bed chatting with Joy on phone. Sanaya was just buzzing around Sanyukta. She was very excited.

'Aren't you from the guy's side?' Vidhushi raised her eyebrow. Sanaya giggled watching her pin Sanyukta's Dupatta on the shoulder of her white beaded Choli.

'No. Who in the right mind will be Sheku's sister?' She waved her hand. Sanyukta and Vidhushi looked at her and then at each other.

'True.' They nodded in unison.

As Vidhushi was busy doing touch up of Sanyukta's make-up, Amira, one of Sanyukta's cousin came running in.

'The groom side is here.' She announced and Sanyukta felt her heart skip a beat. The other girls exclaimed in unison. Everyone got excited. Sanyukta stood up from her chair. Held her dupatta with one hand and hurried towards the window. The heavy royal-blue lehenga giving her a tough time. The other girls hooted in the background, but she ignored them all. It has been so long since she had last seen Randhir and, so she didn't want to miss a chance of seeing a glimpse of him.

She pushed the curtains and opened the window.

********************************

Randhir had hired a driver and a car, he didn't want to look stupid in front of Sanyukta's family. But, the driver got him a Maruti 800, a car he thought was extinct by now. Throughout, the journey he made faces while the driver kept apologizing as no other cars were available on such short notice.

Randhir felt silly coming out of the car. Kishore was standing at the main gate with Ankit. Ankit was all sarcastic smiles looking at Randhir come out of a pathetic looking car. The other guests were just too excited to care. But Randhir felt conscious. To distract himself he looked up towards Sanyukta's room hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He wasn't disappointed.

Sanyukta stood by the window, her gaze met his gaze and she smiled at him. Randhir smiled but his smile disappeared when someone held his shoulder. Sanyukta's eyes widened and she quickly disappeared into her room.

'Come, there is so much to do.' Kishore patted his shoulder and Randhir inwardly groaned. He mumbled grumpily as his Sasurji steered him towards the house. At the doorstep, Vidhushi was standing with a Thalli to welcome him. Randhir had come with Joy, Sumit, and Arjun. This created a little buzz among the crowd but that didn't affect Kishore. He was beaming at everyone. Vidhushi welcomed Randhir with a smile. Randhir entered the house and was stunned with the decorations.

**********************************

Even though it's a simple affair Mr. Agarwal hasn't left anything simple. The whole house is decorated with lights, marigold flowers, and Diyas. Randhir was impressed.

Randhir and gang were lead towards the living room, which was even more lavishly decorated. The guests flocked around trying to get a glimpse of him. Kishore also introduced him to some of his family members.

'So, you are Randhir Shekhawat, son of Renuka Saniyal. It is amazing meeting you.' Vishal Uncle, Kishore's cousin, shook hands with Randhir. His handshake was firm. Though Randhir smiled, he felt uneasy with the mention of his mother's name. Kishore had told everyone about Randhir being sole heir to Saniyal industry, and this attracted a lot more interest among the guests. Though that wasn't Kishore's intentions.

'So, sorry to know that she is no more. She was a wonderful woman.' Vishal Uncle went on. Kishore sensed Randhir's discomfort and before he could say anything further Kishore asked Ankit to take him for some starters. Randhir felt grateful but he avoided Kishore's gaze.

*******************************

Randhir felt like a showpiece as people kept coming and having their photos clicked with him. He kept forcing a smile and soon his jaw began to hurt.

'Bride is here.'

Randhir straightened and looked towards the door, expectantly. Finally, something good will happen in the whole evening.

Randhir looked at Sanyukta enter the living room and his jaw dropped. She looked gorgeous in a white beaded choli and royal blue embroidery lehenga. Her dupatta resting over her head, her hair combed and neatly curled at the edges. She had her head lowered and a shy smile on her face. Randhir didn't miss the glow. He is sure it is not just the bridal facial.

Vidhushi and Sanaya on either side of her lead her towards Randhir. Watching Sanyukta walk towards him made Randhir feel like the luckiest man. He smiled widely.

Sanyukta stood next to Randhir. He kept looking at her while she had her head lowered. Joy, Sumit, Arjun, and Sanaya kept teasing Randhir but he wasn't bothered. He kept admiring his lady love.

Soon, the ring ceremony began, Sumit got a red box from his shervani pocket and handed it to Randhir. Shyly, Sanyukta forwarded her hand and with a bright smile, Randhir slipped the ring onto her finger.

Applause.

Slowly, Sanyukta looked up at Randhir and winked at her. Quickly, she lowered her gaze. She looked at the ring and realized it is the same that Randhir had made for her in College. She wondered how it got to him as she had it with her. One accidental look at Vidhushi and she got an answer.

Ankit half-heartedly forwarded Sanyukta the red box, Kishore nudged him, and he rolled his eyes. He opened the box, plucked out the ring and then handed it to Sanyukta. She smiled taking the ring.

Randhir forwarded his hand and Sanyukta made him wear the ring.

Applause.

After the ring ceremony, the couple was fed sweets.

'Congratulation, beta.' He patted her head. Sanyukta smiled and hugged her father from the side.

'Thank you, Papa.' She whispered.

Kishore smiled hugging his daughter back. Randhir wanted to join in the hug too but Kishore glared at him and he backed out.

After the father-daughter hug, there were a series photo and video sessions. Then the guests proceeded for dinner.
