Sumi: She is my daughter. But I didn't give her birth.

Everyone shocked except Gayu.

Sumi with tears: After my husband and daughter's death, I was shattered. I stayed with my parents. One day, I saw Bela in a market. She was crying. She was nearly my dead daughter's age. I rushed to her. She did not even remember her name. She didn't know who is her mother. She asked me whether I am her mother. Somewhere, my heart told me to tell yes. I took her with me. Then, I advertised in newspaper about her. No one came forward. Then, I decided her as my daughter. I adopted her legally. I named her after my late daughter Bela. Due to some circumstances, I shifted here with Bela. Gayatri, she is my childhood friend. She helped me a lot. Apart from me and my parents, only Gayatri know about Bela. Till date I don't know anything about Bela's biological parents. I don't bother too.

Gayu side hugged her. She wiped her tears. Everyone remain silent for a moment. They don't wish to snatch another daughter from Sumi.

Sumi: How do you know? What is the problem awaiting Bela?

Her voice shivers. Yuvi and Adi look at each other.

Adi: We don't know aunty. They didn't tell anything.

Anu: They means, who?

Yuvi: Ananya...

He explained them everything. This is a shock to everyone. For their surprise Boltu and Pratham didn't afraid. Also, no one restrain Yuvi from love a Icchadari Naagin.

Gayu in shocking tone: means Mahir also... but how is this possible?

Adi: we should ask them only. They just told us that Bela and Mahir are in danger. They not yet realise themselves. This marriage only bring their memory back.

Sumi: That priest words are true.

Gayu: But Sumi, I give birth to Mahir. Then how he will be a Naag.

She holds her head and rest her elbows on knees. That doesn't mean she hate Mahir and Bela. Just confusion. Not only she, but also everyone's condition is merely same.

Yuvi: Aunty listen, now that doesn't matter. Their marriage, it should happen soon. After that we will ask Ananya.

Sumi: Then, we will conduct their marriage tomorrow itself.

Gayu: is that possible?

Sumi: temple... we will conduct a marriage in temple and we will register it after marriage...

Everyone face fell for a second. They all know how much Bela and Mahir excited for this marriage. How much they dream of it. Also, this is the first marriage in their gang. But for now everyone decided their safety is more important than celebration.

Suhani: How we will make Bela and Mahir agree for this?

Gayu and Sumi: we will take care of it.

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

Next day Morning - Temple:

Mahir and Bela sit infront of holy fire with smiling face but they have confusion why their parents took this decision. They didn't argue more, bcz they told some horoscope issues and make them agree emotionally. Their friends also insisted them. Only their friends and Moms are there. Also, Ananya, Vish and Vikrant. Yuvi introduced them to everyone. Except BeHir everyone knows that they are Naags.

Mahir whispers: Eventhough, these horoscopes and all these non-sense stuffs result in benefit to us.

He winked at Bela while following whatever Priest says. Bela frowned at him.

Bela whispers: Means, you don't have belief in these stuffs.

Mahir whispers back: Now that's not important...

Priest looks at them: will you two keep quiet?

Both fell silent. Everyone just prays god to complete this marriage soon, though they don't know what is the danger. Only relief is this marriage will save them. But they don't know why? How? Nothing. Other hand, Ananya seems extremely happy. Yuvi, though not speak with her in normal terms, felt happy to see her happiness. Soon, after taking pheras, Mahir tied Mangalsutra in Bela's neck and filled her hairline with Sindoor.

There is no limit for their happiness. Everyone showered flowers on them. Everyone sighed in relief and get back their happy mood. They took blessings from Sumi and Gayu. Vish and Vikrant share a happy hug. Each couple share a relief and happy hug. Yuvi and Ananya do not even look at each other, eventhough they wish to. BeHir registered their marriage.

After they went home, after all rituals, they make Bela and Mahir play some couple games.

Bela: This dress is too heavy... let me change to something comfortable...

Suhani: Your dresses are in Mahir's room. You go and change it.

Bela left. Mahir tried to follow her but they didn't let him that much easily.

Adi: Bro, you should wait till night. Your wife won't go anywhere.

Yuvi: After all, she is Mrs. Mahir Sehgal now. No hurry...

Mahir hides his blush. They teased him like anything. They let him go after sometime.

Vish: what happened Ananya?

This get everyone's attention on Ananya.

Ananya: di, I felt like someone followed us while coming from temple.

Anu: Might be you hallucinate..

Vikrant: Let me check around..

Others: We will also check..

Vish: one minute... (everyone look at her) Vikrant you have that holy powder na... Guru jee gave you... use that to know his where about..

Vikrant: yes, let me do it...

He took a small pouch and take hand full of powder... everyone looks at him curiously as if some magic is going to happen... he muttered something and blow it on wall... Vision of a Nidyok Vansh Naagraj... just everyone shocked and stand like a statue...

Everyone: Let's go...

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

While in BeHir's room:

Bela changed into light weighted Lehanga and about to come out of the room, Mahir entered. She shocked as well as become nervous. Bcz, this is their first private meeting after marriage. Mahir locked the door behind him.

Mahir: So, Mrs. Mahir Sehgal...(he stepped forward.. she stepped backward for each of his forward step) You are looking elegant in this dress... ( Bela blushed ) wow.. Bela, you know blushing...

Bela: Shut up, Mahir!! What do you want now?

Mahir: I want so many things... but as for now one kiss is enough...

Bela hit the wall. Mahir locked her by putting his hands on either side... Bela blushed and kissed his cheeks...

Mahir: Baby, am I kid to kiss in cheek?

Bela blushed: You told one kiss is enough.. you got it, right? Let's go...

Mahir: acting smart...

Bela: Mahir, everyone will be waiting for us... they will imagine something something...

Mahir: But that something something can happen between us... that is not illegal..

Bela looked down can't able to see his gaze. Mahir lean close and plant a kiss on her neck. She flung her arms around his neck without her sense.. he trailed his lips to her lips... Bela closed her eyes... he started kissing her... Bela kissed him back... his hands travel down wall and hold her waist. Bela pushed him suddenly...

Bela: enough, Mahir. You go, I will come in a while...

Mahir again tried to kiss her, but she pushed him outside and blushed. She went to restroom and came out only shocked to see the hooded person standing infront of her.

Bela shouts: Who are you?

He took out the veil and revealed his face. Bela's head started spin, lots of memories streamed back continuously... Her eyes filled with rage.. without knowing to herself shouted..

Bela shouts: You cunning Bastard!!!
