Hellooo guyss!! I know everyone is disheartened due to IPZN ending but please don't forget to participate in trends, help maintain the hype, mail/call/spam for season 2, and spread the word! Maybe if we all put in enough efforts Sony TV'll renew the show for a second season! 💕

Here's part 6, hope ya'll like it! 💛

===============================================================================

As Ahaan declared Ishqi to be his wife, everyone's mouths hung open, there was an appalled silence when Kartik yelled, "WHAT THE FUDGE?!" - he'd heard Ahaan's last sentence and couldn't tell if he was dreaming or if his deep in denial, older brother was calling his best friend's "wife" his own. 

Like Kartik, everyone too wasn't believing the news Ahaan had just announced, they'd "seen" Mayank and Ishqi's wedding, how could Ishqi and Ahaan's marriage have happened! They all wondered. "Puttar! Tu hosh mein hai ki nahi!" Dadi managed to voice out amidst the shock. 

"Yeh toh hosh mein hai par lagta hai ke aapke hosh udd gaye!" Ishqi muttered under her breath."A-Ah- Ahaan w-what are you saying?!" Rhea said to him- 

Ahaan: Jo aap logon ne sunna wohi! I'm married now! Ishqi and I and married! he said happily- 

Suman Auntie: Beta?! Tum dono yeh kya- M-Mayank kahan hai??! she yelled, loosing her cool- 

Kartik walked towards the couple and whispered to them, "Ishqi, bhai ne drink ki hai?! Ishqi ke liye feelings hai yeh pehle mann liya hota toh kal raat ko chaana mereya gaana aur dukh mein peena na parta! Haayee!! Bhaiiii, chalein iss se pehle Dadi aur Sarla Auntie ki nazaarein hi aap dono ko maar dale!"

Ishqi giggled a little at Kartik's dramaticness while Ahaan said, "Kartik! Tu pagaal hogaya hai kya! Aur saab ko hum nashe mein kyun lagh rahe hai!?" 

Kartik: Aap baatein hi aisi kar rahe ho! Aap "The Great Ahaan Veer Malhotra" hi ho na!?

"AHAAN! Tu chal mere saath!" Dadi yelled as she stood up from her seat, "Meine tere se kuch baat karni hai!" she needed to fix her grandson's unusual behaviour before what he was saying actually came true. 

Ahaan: Okay, let's go Ishqi- he said as he turned to follow Dadi but she stopped in her tracks, "Meine iss ladki ko nahi kaha!" 

Ahaan: Yeh ladki aab meri wife hai! Aur mere aur meri wife ke beech kuch bhi chuppa nahi hona chahiye, issiliye jo aapko kehna hai yah toh woh aap yahan hi bol dijiye yah phir mein AUR Ishqi aapke saath aate hain! he snapped at his grandma, for the first time in his life- leaving everyone shocked- 

Dadi gasped, "T-Tu iss ladki ke liye aapni Dadi se batameezi kar raha hai!" 

Ahaan: Batameezi nahi kar raha, aapko kuch batane ki koshish kar raha houn but aap hai ke kuch samaj hi nahi rahi!

Dadi: Iss mein kuch sunne yah samajne ke liya hai hi nahi! 

Sarla: Ahaan, hum Ishqi-Mayank ki shaadi mein the! Tu yeh kya nonsense baatein kar raha hai! 

Ahaan: Gi...aap log the but shaadi mein Mayank nahi tha! Sehre ki neeche mein tha!

Suman Auntie: ABHI KAHAN HAI MAYANK! 

Just as she finished saying that Mayank walked into the garden, rubbing his eyes- A staff member had let him out after he'd banged on the door for thirty minutes straight. He immediately bolted towards Ishqi and Ahaan and yelled, "AHAAN! TU NE KYA MILAYA THA USS DRINK MEIN!" 

Ahaan: Kon sa drink? he casually replied, pressing a chuckle in between his lips-

Mayank: DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! WOHI DRINK JO TUMHARE KEHNE PAR MEINE KAL RAAT PEE THI! USSKE BAAD MERA SARR GHOOMNA SHURU HUA AUR MERI AANKH LAG GAYI! TERI WAJAH SE MEINE APNI SHAADI MISS KARDI!

Kartik: Minky bhai, shaadi toh apne miss ki but apni nahi...apne best friend ki...he whispered the last part-

Mayank was definitely putting on a facade, he didn't care about missing his marriage but more about the fact that he hadn't been able to stop Sonu and Raj's! And on top of all that Akash had disagreed to help him, Mayank feared if Akash had told anyone his truth in his absence. 

Mayank went up to Ishqi and was about to take her hands' in his when he noticed Ahaan and her interlocked hands, the mangalsutra around her neck and vermillion on her hair parting. "why does she look like she's married?! Meine toh isse shaadi ki hi nahi hai!" he thought to himself but ignored that and instead voiced out, "I'm sorry Ishqi, mein kal raat ko shaadi mein nahi aa paya woh act-"

"Thank-You!" Ishqi cut him off, "y- wh- what?" Mayank asked confused- 

Ahaan: Arrey, meine toh sirf neend ki goliyaan milai thi...have you lost the ability to hear and think as well?! She's thanking you for sleeping through "your" marriage. 

Mayank: B-But why? he asked as he looked around to see the confused and furious faces of most of the clan. 

Ishqi: Kyunke meri shaadi tum jaisi lucche lafange se nahi hui!

Mayank: W-What are y-you saying Ishqi! A- Are you in your s-senses!? Aur h-hui kisse hai tumhari shaadi??! he stuttered but tried to sound sorted- "isse kahin saab pata toh nahi chal gaya!" he nervously thought to himself- 

Ishqi: Arrey! Acting band karo aur kaan kholo! Mann toh kar raha hai ke tumhe peet doun but woh kaam mein kissi aur ke liye chod deti houn...filhal tumhe thanks bol rahi houn...tumhari wajah se meri shaadi ek aise insaan se hogayi jiss ke saath mein khush hoti houn, jiss ko waqai mein meri fikar hai! Woh tumhare "best friend" zaroor hai but tumhari tarah bilkul nahi hai!

Just as she finished saying that something clicked inside Mayank's mind, "Ahaan?!" 

Ishqi: Yes! Chalo, ek baat ka jawab toh sahi se diya tumne! 

Mayank: B-BUT WHY?! Ahaan!! Tu aisa kaise kar sakta hai yaar?!

Ahaan: Arrey! Tum nahi aa paye na toh meine sooche ke mein shaadi karleta houn, itna toh kar hi sakta houn tere liye! best friend houn na! 

Mayank: Tu pagal hogaya hai kya Ahaan?! he yelled- 

Rhea, who had been standing shocked for a few seconds went up to Ahaan and grasped his arm, "TUMNE AISA KYUN KIYA AHAAN!? WHY?!" 

Ahaan: KYUNKE I LOVE HER! MEIN PYAAR KARTA HOUN ISHQI SE! 

There were many gasps followed by Kartik clapping, "P-Pa-Par A-Ahaan puttar!" Dadi managed to say- "Y-Yeh ladki- M-Mayank ki hone waali patni-"

Ahaan cut her off, "Usski hone waali THI, meri HAI!"- Ishqi smiled at her banda, he was taking a firm stand for her. for them. He'd changed so much, from agreeing to whatever his grandma said blindly to standing up for their relationship, not caring about anything else- 

There were points in her love list that she hadn't even written down cause they seemed too unrealistic and she was sure her husband wouldn't attain them all, so to save herself from the disappointment, she hadn't written them out. But Ahaan, he'd managed to tick every single box with ease. 

Mayank saw all his planning and plotting going down the drain, he decided to give it one more try and he started fake crying. "A-Ahaan tu ne aisa kyun kiya yaar! M-Mein kitna pyaar karta houn Ishqi se aur tu ne-!"

Ishqi: Oh please Mayank! Tum yeh drama toh mat hi karo, humein pata hai tumne kya kiya tha...she took a pause- "uss party waali raat!" 

That was it. It clicked in Mayank's head that Ishqi and Ahaan knew the truth about him. "Ish-" he was gonna say something in his defence but Ahaan said, "Aap log itna kya sooch rahe hai! Mein last time explain kar raha houn"- after looking at everyone's shocked and confused faces.  

Ahaan took a deep breath and narrated everything from the beginning, the starting of his feelings- way before they came to the resort- before he'd gotten to know about Mayank's misdeeds- He told everyone the way he fell for Ishqi, how the girl had managed to change his world in such a short span of time- How she'd become special for him...how he'd fallen in love with her...

By the time Ahaan had completed narrating his "love story", the expressions on everyone- except four people's faces had softened. Then he told them about how he took the sudden decision to marry Ishqi and how he felt sorry for Mayank but later found out of how big of a creep he actually is. 

"Mayank?" uttered a teary-eyed and disappointed Suman Auntie, "N-Nahi mom- yeh saab-" the words died in his mouth as a tight slap landed on his face. "Sharam aarahi hai mujhe tumhe apna beta kehte hue!" she yelled at him, Suman Auntie apologized to everyone for Mayank's behaviour and ran inside the resort. 

Before Mayank could further justify himself two constables walked in and took him away while he kept chanting excuses, which no one payed any heed to. Sonu and Raj walked into the garden only to see Mayank being dragged away by the police. Ishqi signalled her and Sonu was finally relived, she sighed a breath of relief and ran up to hug Ishqi. 

"thank-you Ishqi" Sonu whispered to her, "dost ek dusre ko thank-you nahi bolte aur aab toh humare rishta bhi jud gaya hai!" 

Sonu: Hmm? 

Kartik: Aap dono kis khushi mein gaale lag rahe ho? he asked cheekily- They tore from the hug and Sonu saw Ishqi and Ahaan's interlocked hands and the nuptial chain and vermillion- She stared at them for an answer and they both nodded while blushing-

Sonu: Ayeee!! she jumped to hug both of them, "Congratsss!! bhaiyya and Ish- bhabhi!!" 

Ahaan apologized to Rhea and with a heavy heart, preparing herself for her moms outburst- she left the resort the same day. Dadi and Sarla were the only ones against Ishqi and Ahaan being married, but they couldn't do anything about it, the marriage had already happened. 

Ahaan knew his grandma was sour about the entire thing but he hoped as she would get to know Ishqi and how pure and good she is by heart, her perspective would change- And Sarla was not for him to worry about, Kartik knew well how to deal with her, his way. 

They all came in for a group hug and whilst that, Ahaan promised to always love, cherish and protect Ishqi while she promised the same. They were now one, always and forever! 

//The End//
