Writer's pov

The flight from Vienna to New Delhi was full of bantering and teasing.

All the youngsters reached Indira Gandhi International Airport only to be welcomed by Dhol and dancing of Advika, Himanshu and Kirti.

After dancing and recording for some time, The Three of them Shouted :

Welcome Home Bro and Bhabs!!!!

And they all pulled everyone in a group hug.

Sumer was however elated to see Advika at the airport.
His heart had again skipped a few beats.
He could not help himself from ogling at her but Advika was unfazed.

All the elders from both the family were in a cheerful mood too.

Finally, after the hugs and kisses, they all head towards their cars.

Atharva gave a longing stare to Nimmi and she mouthed him "See you Later"

Two Days had passed and today was the day when the Joshis invited Singhanias over dinner.

They were going to finalise the wedding dates and other functions.

Atharva was dancing in clouds as he was going to meet Nimmi.
Also, he has been waiting for the moment to officially make Nimmi, his wife.
And today there were going to take one step closer to that.

Both Advika and Himanshu teased him when he asked how he looked for the 10th time.

Pratik passed him a minty cologne he had got from Austria.

Atharva thanked Pratik and asked him to update on his equation with Naina, taking him off guard.

Pratik nervously smiled but assured he will tell him when the time is right.

The singhanias left for Joshis and soon parked their cars outside the villa.

Everyone settled in but there was no sign of nimmi yet and Atharva moving eyes gave away his impatient longing.

Sorry Son! Your fiance had to go to a meeting urgently.
But don't worry, she will be back any moment.! - nimmi's father spoke in a hushed tone

Atharva shifted uncomfortably with a blush.

Mr. Joshi asked Sumer to call nimmi.

Sumer gestured Atharva to accompany him as he secretly did not wish to leave advika's side.
Having her around was a rare sight for him, so he chose to stay with her till the time he can.
However, Atharva too happily agreed to his offer.

Sumer dialled Nimmi and pass his mobile to him to talk.

Atharva heart began to pound in anticipation of hearing Nimmi, she picked it up in a few ring -

Sorry sorry!
Bhai, I am on my way!

Are they already there?
Is Atharva asking for me??
He must be disappointed na??
But what to do, those clients were so adamant to finalise the designs today itself.

Atharva was so happy to hear that she was thinking about him.

When nimmi didn't hear from the other end, she frowned -

Hello!
Are you there? Sumer?

Soory won't suffice for the anxiety you put me through fiance! - Atharva replied in a husky way

A... Atharva! - she whispered

Yes my lady! It's me....Your Atharva! - he teased

She blushed!

Now, stop blushing and come fast Fiance, can't wait any longer! - he spoke

I will be there in 10, wait for me! - she replied quickly

Hey! Take it easy ok?
Drive safe!
I will be waiting! - Atharva said cautiously

Yeah, see you soon Fiance! - nimmi spoke and hung up

Atharva turned around to return Sumer's mobile when he saw him looking at something mesmerised. He followed his gaze and frowned.

Sumer was watching Advika, his baby sister. She was laughing with kirti and Pratik.
And He definitely didn't like his ways, but he didn't want to jump on any conclusion without proper reasons.

He cleared his throat to grab his attention startling Sumer.

What's up with you Sumer? - he asked raising his eyebrows

Sumer licked his lips and spoke - What did Nimmi say?

Is she already on her way? - Sumer asked but kept his gaze low

Sumer, I am not talking about Nimmi.
Is there anything I should know? - atharva asked firmly

Ah! Um... Athar....

Hello There!
I am Home!

- sumer stopped speaking and thanked his stars that nimmi had came at the right time, as he didn't know if he should tell Atharva about his feelings for Advika right now or not.

He was not sure if Advika too felt anything for him.....so for now, his feelings were personal.

Atharva moved towards Nimmi and gave her a side hug and kissed her hair.

Hey! - he said

Hi! Sorry you guys had to wait! - she replied genuinely

No issues! Let's get inside! - he spoke

And Sumer followed them silently.

Watching Nimmi have come, Neeta engulfed her in a hug and whispered a thank you to her.

Nimmi hugged her back and asked - Choti ma, why thank you?

For giving us, my Atharva back.!
Atharva looks exceptionally Happy these days and I know the reason is you Nimmi! - she patted her head lovingly

Choti ma! Let her breath.... She just reached.! - atharva rolled his eyes at his aunt

Wow Atharva, already so caring for your bride to be!
You were never this caring even about yourself! - she teased

Both He and Nimmi blushed.

They all sat at the dinning table and Atharva grabbed Nimmi's hand under the table making her cough.

What happened Bhabs! - advika asked alarmed

Nimmi pleaded Atharva through her eyes to leave her hand but he acted innocent and said - Are you ok Nimmi?

And all Nimmi could do was cough some more.

Leave the girl's hand Atharva if you don't want to take her to the Hospital! - Ajay Singhania spoke

Yeah, we have done it too in our young days! - this time it was Akash Joshi who teased further

All the elders and youngsters laughed and Atharva left her hand embarrassed.

And he also earned a gkare from Nimmi shutting him up for the evening.

The rest of the time, the elders discussed the dates with their priest.

And it was decided, the Wedding would be held in the third week of next month and other rituals and functions would follow accordingly.

Atharva and Nimmi, gave their consents for the Dates and soon everyone was fed sweets.

Later, Atharva and his family left to their place only to come back to take the Joshis for a Ganesh Pooja (Indian God) at their family owned temple, to officially start with the wedding rituals.

Next day, Nimmi got ready for Ganesh Pooja and her mother was overwhelmed to see her daughter getting ready to take steps towards a settled life.

She admired how beautiful her daughter looked causing nimmi to shy away.

Soon, everyone gathered in the Temple adn began to proceed with the rituals.
Atharava was mesmerized to see nimmi in an Indian attire and he himself was wearing a nice suit.

But it was a pure torture for him to have her so close to him yet he was not able to talk to her separately.

Looking at his longing, Advika decided to help her brother.
And the only person she could think was Sumer.

He had already helped the couple so many times, so she decided to ask for his help.

Advika walked upto him and spoke softly - Hi Sumer! Um...i was wondering if you can help me?

Sumer who was lost in her beauty was elated to hear her voice. That too she needed his help... How could he say no to his love.

He spoke - Hey! Of course, I would be happy to help Advi!

What do you need, just tell me!

Advika noticed the nickname he gave her, but she ignored it and spoke -

I think, Bhai wants to talk to Bhabs in private.
Don't you think we should do something for them?
I mean, look at Bhai...he is so helpless!

Sumer followed her gaze and saw an annoyed Atharva who was doing every ritual as per the priest's command.

But he seemed lost and every now and then he would look at Nimmi's side.

He sighed as he knew both families would not allow it but then how could he disappoint Advika when she asked his help for the first time. So he spoke in a playful manner -

Your wish is my command Madam!

Advika chuckled at his acting.

Well, if we take them away from the rituals, we must distract the elders first.
So, I want you to help me in this, I will handle my family you handle yours, deal? - he asked forwarding his hand to shake

Advika looked at Atharva again and shook her hands with Sumer.

But what are you going to do? - she asked

Just wait my lady! - Sumer blurted without realising

But bit his tongue hard for slipping the words but advika shook her head.

O, hello! I want to know what is the plan?
Are you sure you can pull this off? - she smirked

Sumer went closer to her and spoke - You see that duppatta over there, it's for nimmi to wear....and I am going to steal it...and then you can say that your Bhai should choose the dupatta for his wife as per the custom!
And I will back you up!
Say what?

Advika thought for a while and said - This can actually work, chhoti ma is very particular about these rituals.

Let's do this Partner! - she spoke in excitement making Sumer stuck at the word "Partner"

As planned Finally Atharva was able to take Nimmi with him to shop.
But chhoti ma suggested Advika and Sumer to go as well to which both of them obeliged.

Now was the time for these lovebirds to breathe in some Romantic Air.
