The entire Agarwal Mansion was decorated like a bride. Many guests crowded the backyard and the inside. Kishore was busy welcoming the guests while Ankit was busy showing off to the guests and at times looking after the arrangements. The butlers were serving people starters. The Uncles chatting seriously, the ladies gossiping or scrutinizing the place. The kids running around and creating trouble.

'Well done, Kishore. All the arrangements are excellent.' Mr. Verma, Kishore's friend complimented.

'Thank you.' Kishore smiled and nodded humbly.

'Finally, your daughter is getting married. Usually, we get our daughters married at eighteen, but I am glad you are the first one in our friend circle to break the stereotypes.' Mr. Singh complimented his friend.

Kishore felt proud when his friends complimented Sanyukta and spoke about her achievements. Then, Kishore realized he wouldn't have been this proud had he married off Sanyukta at eighteen.

Sanyukta was all smiles as she walked up to the dressing table. All the girls present in the room began to tease her. Especially, Sanaya. She was leading everyone. Vidhushi asked everyone to relax but no one listened to her and, so she chose to shut up.

'Come.' Vidhushi held Sanyukta's shoulders and made her sit in front of the mirror. She leaned forward and whispered into her ear, - 'You are looking so beautiful.'

Sanyukta blushed lowering her head. She looked at the lehengha, it was the same she had worn that night when she and Randhir had gotten secretly married. She smiled remembering all the struggles she and gang had gone through to get the lehengha from Vidhushi. Sanyukta looked at Vidhushi who was busy finding some make-up items from the dressing table. Perhaps she doesn't remember or maybe she doesn't want to bring up the topic. Nevertheless, Sanyukta was glad Vidhushi has changed.

'Ouch! Vidhushi not that tight.' Sanyukta yelped as Vidhushi pulled the strings of her choli.

'Sorry, Sorry.' Vidhushi apologized.

'Yeah, Vidhushi not that tight else Sheku will have to spend whole night untying the knot.' Sanaya teased. The girls in the room hooted. Vidhushi and Sanaya did a hi-fi while Sanyukta blushed harder.

'Shut up, guys!' She muttered playing her fingernails.

'OOOOOOO.'

Randhir stood by the mirror adjusting the maroon and golden turban on his head. For some strange reason, it kept slipping.

After the tenth attempt, Randhir got angry. He threw the turban on the floor and turned to look in the mirror.

'Stupid turban spoiled my hair.' He cursed and bent down and picked up his comb. He neatly combed his hair just then the door to his room opened and Joy, Sumit, and Arjun stepped in.

'Look who is here.' They said in unison. Randhir frowned and turned around. The three grinned silly and stepped aside.

'Randhir Paji! Hello ji.' Yoyo's booming voice echoed in the room as he entered followed by his two chamchas. They all did a little bhagra as they walked towards Randhir. A broad smile appeared on Randhir's face when he saw his friends. All three hugged him tightly. Randhir had tears in his eyes but he blinked rapidly. He doesn't want to show that he was crying.

'Randhir.'

Randhir looked at the door again and smiled on seeing Parth standing at the door. Just like Yoyo even he was dressed in a shervani. But he looked elegant than Yoyo.

'Parth.' Randhir smiled and hurried to his friend.

'Thanks for coming, yaar.' Randhir said engulfing him in a tight hug.

'How can I miss my best friend's wedding.' – Parth said and they broke apart, - 'Even if I was in a coma I would have woken up.' He winked at Randhir. Randhir felt slightly uncomfortable at the mention of coma. Instantly, the memory of the past flashed before his eyes. Randhir sighed.

No bad memories today – He told himself

The driver grinned at Randhir. He placed his palm over the bonnet of the beautifully decorated Toyota Innova. Randhir felt relieved. Silently, he climbed into the car. Then, everyone clamped into the car and within no time Randhir was squished in his seat.

'And that is...done.' Vidhushi exclaimed as she placed Sanyukta's dupatta neatly over her head. Sanyukta felt uncomfortable with all the pins and Jewellery and so she kept shifting positions on the chair. Slowly, she looked up at her reflection and smiled.

'Sanyukta, there is someone to see you.' Kritika stood next to her. Sanyukta looked at her in the mirror and nodded. Then she got busy wearing the Churas.

'Sanyu.'

Sanyukta paused and looked up in the mirror again. A wide smile appeared on her lips. She turned around.

'Oh, My, God, Kaustuki?' Sanyukta said brightly. Vidhushi was surprised to see her too. But what surprised Sanyukta more was a toddler in her friend's arms. Quickly, she got up. Lifting her Lehengha little she walked towards her. The ladies hugged.

'Yours?' Sanyukta asked extending her hand to the baby boy.

'Yes. Aadav.' Kaustuki beamed with pride. Sanyukta looked at her and smiled.

'If you don't mind can I hold him?' Sanyukta asked.

'Sure.' Kaustuki forwarded the baby. Sanyukta happily took him but he began crying in her arms.

'Oh, my God!' Sanyukta panicked but Kaustuki assured her and took the little boy. Aadav stopped crying as soon as he landed in his mother's arms.

'Naughty boy.' Sanyukta touched the baby's chubby cheek and it grinned. She then looked at Kaustuki, - 'Your baby looks just like you.' She smiled.

'Just wait for some time, Sanyukta. Then you will be making babies with Randhir soon.' Kaustuki winked at Sanyukta. She looked away red-faced.

'Chalo, we don't have time for all this.' Vidhushi came and dragged Sanyukta back towards the mirror. Sanyukta gave a helpless look to Kaustuki but she simply smiled.

Vidhushi had just made Sanyukta sit in front of the mirror when a young girl appeared at the door shouting, - 'Baraat is here.'

Sanyukta felt her heart skip a beat. She froze staring at her reflection.

'Great.' Vidhushi raised her arms in the air. Then, she called Kritika and Sanaya and asked them to help Sanyukta getting ready. The final touch-ups. Sanyukta felt very nervous to even speak and so, let the girls do whatever they thought was right.
