Recap: Ishwar and Anika start their wedding works over night.

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

Ishwar and Anika chose their outfits and others too. Anika chose a romantic wedding theme with pink flowers. Ishwar was happy to see Anika's excitement for the wedding. Room was arranged for Nancy and Granny separately. Ishwar let Anika to stay with Nancy for the night and he returned to his room.

He was blushing at the thought that Anika will be sharing the room from the next day. He looked around and saw the color of the room which was just grey and white shades. He quickly moved to Nancy's room and knocked on the door. He saw Anika sleeping and Nancy yawning looking at him.

Nan: Wedding jitters is it ? but your bride is sleeping soundly. You need to wait until morning. She is too tired to wake her now.

Ish: Let her sleep lets not disturb her. Can you help me ?

Nan: At this time ? What help do you need , anyways you have that henchman around you all time to work for you.

Ish: He is not my henchman. He is my best friend, my personal bodyguard, my well wisher and a brother to me. Its just that he doesn't behave like any of that and I m not expressive too. 

Nan: I know, just kidding. Tell me what help you want.

Ish: Can you check my room and tell me if I need to change anything. Not sure if Anika will like the shades of it which is now grey and white..

Nan: She is not a picky person Ishwar. And when it comes to you she will like anything you choose so don't worry. Still if you want to know her likes., then her favourite color is shades of blue and purple.

Ish: Thank you so much Nancy.

He returned to his room and informed Jerald to call his home manager to get his room painted with blue shade. He also informed him to fix a pink wardrobe for her in the closet for which he had already given orders to the stylist to get clothes stitched for her to fill in. 

He chose to sleep in the adjacent room leaving his to get painted to Anika's favourite color. Morning he woke up and waited in the living for Anika who came with Nancy still yawning and sleepy.

Ani: Mama, see this Nanu woke me so early. She is saying so much of rules already to follow after our marriage. 

Ish: There is no rules for you Anika. You can be the same as you lived before. You need not change anything just because we get married.

Nan: You too don't spoil her. I want her to learn something atleast for your sake in the future. 

Ish: Let her be Nancy I will have no problem.

Nan Mv: Iva kitta first night pathi lam innum sollave illa. Ivalukku Appadi na ennaney theriyadhu nu ivarukku therinja ippadi solla mattaru sir. ( I haven't spoke about wedding night to her. He won't speak like if he only knew that she doesn't know what wedding night is )

Ish: Jeweller will be here with rings Anika. We will choose once he is here and then I have arranged for a Spa for you then you can rest well. By noon the stylist will be here to get you ready.

That is when Anika remembered that he will kiss when they get married. She pulled Nancy with her and rushed to their room. Ishwar was bewildered and followed them to know what happened but stopped when he heard her words.

Ani: Hey Nanu, will he kiss me like that groom kissed the bride on that day at wedding ?

Ishwar could not stop smiling at her innocene and urge to taste her lips.

Ish Mv: What if she starts crying or push me when I kiss her ? 

Nan: I said that already Ana, once you marry, your husband will kiss you. Don't you dare to react like what you said to me and embarrass him. Also you will like it because I know how much you love him. I believe Ishwar will not force you for anything but at the same time you should learn things that couples do out of love. Every couples kiss at their wedding and its not a sin. 

Ish: See my palms are sweating Nanu....What should I do then ?

Nan: Nothing just follow him and you will learn from him but if you feel uncomfortable for anything then tell him. Don't bear anything just because you like him or you are married to him. Stop him if you are uncomfortable. Marriage involves love between two people so feel his love for you and love him back. See yesterday he proposed you but you did not reply to it.

Ana: Nanu, enakku shy ah irukku eppadi solradhu..

Nan: By your mouth only..

Ana: Loosu Nanu...idea sollu..eppadi I love you solradhu..oru madhiri bayama, nervous ah irukku.

Nan: Tell him when you get married today. It will be memorable. Bayama irundha kanna mooditu sollidu.

Ana: Sooper idea, appadiye panren. Thank you ..I love you Nanu.

Nan: Yen kitta yendi solre, anga oruthar nee solluve nu feel panni yengitu iruparu avar kitta poi sollu nalla return gift kuduparu.

Ishwar felt really great that Anika had Nancy as her friend. He left from there giving them privacy and checked his room which was now turned into a sky blue shade with white blinds to match it. 

Once the jeweller arrived they looked at the ring collections but one couple ring which had half heart engraved on it and looked great when the rings where brought together revealing a full heart. It was a platinum ring with diamond filling the heart. Ishwar and Anika both liked the ring and chose it. Ishwar informed the jeweller to carve their name in the inner of the ring and get it delivered before evening.

Following the jeweller the esthetician arrived and Anika spent a few hours admiring the way lady was beautifying her body with facials and body treatments. Her face glowed and she was enjoying everything with Ana. Ishwar knocked on the door and cocked his eyebrows at Anika looking at her happiness. Nancy left giving some privacy to them. 

Ishwar cupped her face with his palm and his thumbs caressed her cheeks turning it into pink shade. He saw the goosebumps on her skin to his touch and felt proud for being the reason behind it.

Ish: You look beautiful Anika, absolutely gorgeous. I will wait for you at the altar. Jerald will bring you to the church.

Anika acted like being under a spell by him and nodded instantly with her gaze on him. Ishwar leaned and pecked her forehead and her eyes went wide feeling his lips on her skin. Ishwar smirked and left before she could speak.

Ranjani who woke late took the newspaper, cup of coffee and moved to the balcony and started reading it. The headlines on the business page caught her attention and her mind got alarmed on reading the wedding news of Ishwar. She immediately grabbed her mobile and called Ishwar (Jerald) who did not answer the call as per the order from Ishwar. She was restless and tensed not knowing what to do. 

Meanwhile Valery's henchmen in India reached the Xavier's college and paid the peon to get the address of Anika. With the address they reached Anika's home and found it locked. Since it was sunday they left a man to watch over the house and decided to check the next day at college as well as home.

After a nap Nancy woke up Anika since the assistants of the stylist had arrived with the costume and jewels for her. Granny watched Anika and Nancy getting ready and could not stop her happy tears.

Nan: Granny stop crying now else she will also cry and spoil her make up. We will walk her down the aisle.

Gra: Definitely..see you both are looking stunning. No evil eyes.

Jerald was ready in a black tux with a pink rose wrapped with baby's breath and extractions from leather leaf. He felt highly emotional to see Anika who will become an inseparable part of Ishwar's life. Next his eyes fell on Nancy who was dressed in pink round neck gown with butterfly embelished frills at the bottom.He winked at her and moved towards Anika.

Jer: My baby sister looks like an angel, so beautiful. Boss will forget the surroundings looking at you.

Ani: Anna, really do I look beautiful ?

Anika held her long gown and made a small twirl which Jerald captured in his mobile.

Jer: Lets go and make boss fall down looking at your beauty. 

They got in the car and reached the church which was reserved with high security. Jerald gave hands to Anika to get down from the car and then he gave his hands to Nancy who unconsciously placed her hand in his to get down. He caught her hand in a tight grip and caressed her knuckles which hit the realiztion in her and quickly yanked her hand from his grip with a deadly glare.

Jer : Don't stare too much and see how the marriage happens, next will be us or we can marry even today after boss and Anika complete their vows.

Nan: Don't you have any other work to do ? shameless ...

Jer: I have plenty of job to do Ms. hotty but I have prioritized wooing you as the first job for now. 

Nancy stomped on his feet and left from there. Granny and Nancy looped their hand with Anika who was admiring the Dahlia, camellia, snapdragon, amaryllis, orchid, lotus, peonies, tulips, rose flowers which decorated the entire place. They reached the aisle and saw the entire church turned into a garden and her eyes fell on Ishwar who stood at the altar dressed in the grey tux with white shirt and black tie. His hair was set perfectly and beard was trimmed. A pink rose with little bunch of baby breathe boutonniere over his pocket matching the peonies and rose bouquet she was holding in her hand.

Ishwar's jaw dropped down looking at Anika who walked in slow steps dressed in a satin and lace white off shoulder A -line gown. Her hair was tied in a messy bun adorned with pink rose and a tiara on her head. The long sequin lace edged wedding veil was attached from her bun. She had minimal makeup with baby pink lipstick and she wore a diamond necklace and earring with bangles Ishwar sent specially for her.

Ishwar's heart skipped a beat with each step Anika took. Jerald smiled looking at Ishwar who looked whipped by Anika. Lilly who was standing a little behind Ishwar dressed in a formal suit saw the way Ishwar was looking at Anika and felt her blood boil in anger.

On the other hand Ranjani was going mad trying to reach Ishwar but all her attempts went in vain. She even reached to his office to get to know more details but she couldn't know anything about his marriage or even the place where it was happening as Ishwar informed Jerry to keep everything secret until their reception.

Ranjani drove to all the churches in the city one by one since afternoon trying to find where Ishwar's marriage was happening. Finally she reached the besant nagar church and saw many suited men guarding the entrance and the floral decorations starting from the entrance. Many press and media were waiting with their cameras to get a glimpse of the couple after marriage. She tried to enter but Ishwar's men stopped her saying the place was escorted for their boss wedding and refused to let her in or give any more details.

Ranjani somehow guessed it must be Ishwar's wedding they were talking about and messaged about her presence at the entrance of the church. Jerald who was avoiding all her messages since morning smiled looking at the latest message that she was waiting at the church entrance. He informed his men to escort her to one of the rooms provided for the nuns to rest within the church premises with a smirk.
