Part 8 - The Final Day

"Maa, please. . ." Gauri moaned, shaking her head while her Mother smacked her on the head.

"Sit straight!" Her mother scolded and she frowned "Let me brush your hair! You need to look good, okay." She added, continuing to brush her long black hair.

"But Maa, it's not like I'm getting married today."

"Shh, you're meeting your mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law for the very first time today and you can't just go in front of them looking all jungly." Gauri dropped her mouth at her mothers remark. "Maa. . ." Gauri frowned and Mrs Sharma smiled.

"There, you look perfect." Mrs Sharma says and placed the brush down.

Gauri glanced at herself through the mirror and Mrs Sharma placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Bring your bag and come down, I'll be waiting." Gauri nodded and Mrs Sharma walked out straight after.

"I can't believe soon I'll be going away." She whispered to herself and stood up, heading towards her bag.

Her phone had started buzzing and she answered it. "Hi."

"Good morning."

She smiled. "Good morning."

"Don't feel scared or nervous. My Daadi and Mom are super cool."

"Are you going to be there?"

"No, I can't. It's ladies shopping day. But my sister would be there too and Anika Bhabhi."

"Okay." She felt a little relaxed hearing Anika would be there, who she met when they visited for the alliance.

"Gauri!" Mrs Sharma called and Gauri sighed. "Bye, talk to you later." And she disconnected the call, picking her bag up and rushing out of her room.

**

Daadi, Jhanvi, Priyanka and Anika waited outside the shopping mall, keeping their eyes out for Gauri and Mrs Sharma.

"Maa, did you tell them where to meet us?" Jhanvi asked and Daadi shook her head positively.

"There they are." Anika uttered while noticing Gauri and Mrs Sharma walk towards them.

Priyanka, Jhanvi and Daadi glanced in that direction and smiled, greeting Mrs Sharma and a nervous Gauri.

"How are you beta?" Jhanvi asked while smiling at Gauri, who passed a nervous smile. "Good Aunty, you?."

"You can call me Mom." Gauri smiled and Daadi walked forward, placing her hand on Gauri's head.

"You're very pretty." Daadi complimented with a genuine smile and Gauri reciprocated to the smile.

"Hi Bhabhi, I'm Priyanka." Priyanka introduces herself and Gauri turns her head towards her with a smile.

"Come, let's go inside." Anika utters and they nod, heading inside the shop.

After walking inside, while Gauri was following everyone else, being the last one to walk on her own, a hand pulls her to the side and she shockingly widens her eyes.

"What the. . ." She stopped after his palm was pressed against her lip and she struggled to get out of his grip.

"Shhh."

She narrows her eyebrows, calming down after realising it was Omkara. "What are you doing here?" She whispered after he slid his hand down from her mouth.

"You wanted me here."

"When did I say that?"

"You indirectly hinted it out so I'm here." He whispered back, wrapping his hand around her waist, making her gasp.

"Om, someone will see." She uttered and he shrugged. "So, let them see."

"Ommm!"

He places a peck on her forehead while the manager, few customers and few workers smiled at them. Her cheeks started to heat up and turn pink while he chuckled.

"Om, everyone's looking." She whispered, feeling embarrassed and he smiled. "So what? They know you're mine."

Gauri lowers her gazes and glanced around, hoping not get caught. She had gotten lucky as the pillar was blocking them. 

"Bhabhi. . ." Om let go and Gauri moves away nervously, turning towards Priyanka who was looking at Gauri confusingly.

"What happened?"

"Nothing." She lied, curving a smile and heading towards Priyanka, who was confused.

She had failed to see Omkara as the pillar was hiding him. Being curious, Priyanka gazed at the pillar and saw a male hand moving back and stared at Gauri.

"What happened?" Anika asked and Gauri walked towards her. "Nothing."

"Come." Anika says and she nods, looking at Priyanka.

"Bhabhi you go, I need to make a quick phone call." Priyanka lied and Gauri looked on, knowing that if Priyanka stays here then Om would be caught.

"Is it important?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you make it back on time."

"Ji Bhabhi, it's just a two second call."

"You come, Prinku will come after making the call." Anika said and pulled Gauri with her, now seeing Gauri's expressions had created a suspicion in Priyanka's mind and she decided to investigate it.

She turned around, heading towards the pillar, while taking her footsteps towards it, while peeking, she finds no one there and looks on. 

"Offo Priyanka, you might have misunderstood." She cursed herself under her breath and shrugged the thoughts, walking away.

Om, who was hidden behind a woman, stand up, smiling at her. "Thank you for hiding me."

"It's okay." She replied and he nodded at her.

"So that was your sister?" Omkara nodded at her question. "And you and that girl you were with are going to get married." Om nodded once again as the lady tried to understand.

"Oh okay." She understood and he walked off, sighing a relief.

After seeing none of his family members around, he starts to rush out, safely without getting spotted.

**

"Excuse me, couldn't you see while walking?" Rudra asked, arguing with a girl he clashed into.

"I was seeing, but it seems like you weren't!" She answers back and he fumed after seeing her attitude.

"Don't try to blame me for your mistake."

"Why? Are you a prince that I shouldn't? It was your fault anyways so why would I be blaming you?"

"You. . ."

"Keep your attitude to yourself." She interrupted him and started walking away.

"God knows where people like her come from." He sighed under his breath, angrily walking off.

"Memsab, where do you want to go?" She turned towards an auto driver, clenching onto her handbag.

"Would you take me to the police station?"

The auto driver nodded and she nodded back, heading towards his auto-rickshaw.

**

The shopping was finally over and Gauri and Mrs Sharma headed towards their house, surprised to see a girl sitting on their door step.

"Bhavya." Mrs Sharma says and the girl looks up at her. "Maasi. . ." She moaned a complaint and stood up, rushing towards her.

"When did you come?" Mrs Sharma asked and Bhavya hugged her. "Today and Maasi, my luggage got stolen. I reported to the police but they're so irritating, they're saying it will take time." She replied, revealing herself the same girl that had clashed into Rudra this morning.

"What? How did it get stolen?"

Bhavya broke the hug with a frown. "That thief lied he was a coolie and I actually believed him. He ran away with my suitcase."

"Was there anything vulnerable?" Bhavya shook her head "Just my clothes and shoes."

"Good." Mrs Sharma sighed a relief and Gauri blinked at Bhavya.

"If you called us and told us about your arrival, then this wouldn't have happened." She taunted and Bhavya gave her a look. "I wanted to surprise you."

"Don't worry, they'll find it." Mrs Sharma assured and Bhavya nodded.

"Maa, this bhukkad won't smile until she gets food." Gauri teased while keeping her facial expressions straight.

"Maasi, look, Gauri started again."

"Gauri, why do you keep troubling my Bhavya?" Mrs Sharma asked, holding Bhavya's shoulder and Gauri looked away. "I'm not troubling her."

"I was just telling the truth."

"Don't worry Maasi. She won't be around too long to trouble me." Bhavya blurted out, making everything go silent.

Bhavya bit her tongue and made her way towards Gauri. "I hate to admit but I'll miss you. I can't believe you're getting married so soon." She uttered, trying to lighten the mood.

Gauri curled a small smile "Hate to admit the same too."

Bhavya side hugged Gauri and Gauri returned the hug. Mrs Sharma smiled at the two. Gauri and Bhavya were cousins but behaved no less that sisters, they grew up together and fight like real siblings do. Bhavya was Gauri's mum's sister's daughter, who stayed with Gauri and Mrs Sharma after her mother passed away. She then had to move away with her father, after he gotten married to someone else as he had the legal custody of Bhavya. But he never stopped her from going to meet Gauri and Mrs Sharma.

"Shopping hmm? Show me what you guys got." Bhavya uttered, breaking the hug while blinking at the shopping bags.

"Come inside." Mrs Sharma says while walking towards the door to unlock it.

Gauri and Bhavya follow up the steps and stand in front of the door, waiting patiently for Mrs Sharma to open it.

"We have a lot to do and a lot of decorations to do." Mrs Sharma says while opening the door.

"I'm here na Maasi, not to fear when Bhavya's here." Bhavya assured and Mrs Sharma chuckled along with Gauri.

"That's the fear." Gauri jokes and Bhavya rolls her eyes playfully.

**

"Make the arrangements light. We will only be holding the haldi rasam here." Jhanvi ordered and the servants nod, starting to decorate the Oberoi mansion.

"Mom. . ." Jhanvi turned towards Priyanka "Which colour?" She asked, holding two different coloured cards.

"The gold one." Jhanvi replied and Priyanka nodded, walking away to finalise the gold card for the wedding.

"Jhanvi puttar relax, everything will be done." Daadi says and Jhanvi turns towards her, releasing a small sigh.

"Come, take a seat." Daadi says while taking a seat on the sofa, signing Jhanvi to join her.

Jhanvi takes a seat besides her, wondering something. "Maa, only if Tej was here to witness his son's marriage, being his support. . ."

Daadi curls a small smile "Wherever he is, he will always bless Om, Rudra and Priyanka."

"Who?" Rudra asked, joining them. "Your Papa."

Rudra's expressions change. "Hmmm." He hummed, starting to walk away. It had been 6 years since he lost his father and it really doesn't seem that long, the wounds are still fresh each time his father was mentioned, it was as if his father passed away today, at that very moment.

"Rudra. . ." He vanished from his thoughts after being called out and looked to the side, seeing Anika walk towards him. "Ji Bhabhi." He answered back and Anika smiled. "Can you please help me out with the planning?"

"Sure."

"Thanks. Now help me decide what foods to put, I'm unable to pick. . ." She trailed off and started to walk while he followed her, to help out.

**

"You have no photo of Jeeju?" Gauri shook her head while making a garland out of roses.

"How can you not. I really wanna see him."

"You have to wait till the wedding then."

"Urgh!" Bhavya sighed, taking the basket of flower to one of the boys, who were working around the house to decorate it for Mrs Sharma.

"Bhavya." Mrs Sharma called and she rushed towards her to help her out.

Gauri curled a smile, feeling shy as she remembered the shop scene, when Omkara had pecked her. "He's impossible!"

"Madam, where should I put this?" One of the boy asked while showing her a cloth.

"I don't know, sorry. Maa, Maa! Bhavya!"

"What?" Bhavya asked while walking out. "Where should he put that?"

"Bhaiyya, you come here. I'll tell you." Bhavya says and the boy walks towards her. "Put that near the entrance and make sure it's hanging. And in front of it, I want pink nets dangling." The boy nodded at her instructions and walked away to set it up.

"Oh haan, storeroom." Bhavya says to herself, rushing towards the storeroom to grab some items.

Gauri had finished making her jewellery for tomorrow's mehendi function and glanced down at it. "Hmm, I did a great job." She self compliments herself and smiles, standing up with the platter.

"I should put it with my dress." She advices herself and heads towards her room.

After a while, the bell had started to ring and Bhavya walks out with the plates, placing them down on the table nearby and heading towards the door.

The bell rang again and she sighed "Coming!"

After a while, she opened the door and looked on. "You! What are you doing here?"

"You. . . Why are you here?"

"What do you mean why I'm here. This is my house!"

"Your house? I must've come to the wrong house!" He says and turns but realises it's not the wrong house, turning back around. "I'm here for Gauri Bhabhi."

"Bhabhi. . ." She confusingly uttered and he nodded. "Yes Bhabhi!"

"Gauri's going to be your Bhabhi?" Bhavya shockingly gasped and Rudra, who was outside the door with the platter nods.

"Now will you let me come in or send me away from the door." He irritatedly uttered, glancing at her and she moved to the side, still thinking about that.

He walked inside and Mrs Sharma walked inside the hall, smiling to see Rudra walk in.

"Namaste Aunty."

"Beta, you. . ."

"Ji Aunty. I actually came here to drop the Shagun Ki Chunri. No one else was available so they sent me." He says politely with a smile while forwarding the platter.

Mrs Sharma nodded her head positively while reaching out for it.

"Maasi, this is?"

"Bhavya, this is Omkara's brother."

Bhavya looked at him while he smirked, feeling proud. "Beta, this is Gauri's sister, Bhavya." Mrs Sharma revealed and Rudra smiled.

"I'll go put this in the room. Bhavya, offer him snacks and tea." Bhavya unwillingly nodded and Mrs Sharma started to walk away.

'This Chimpanzee is Gauri's Devar?'

'This Fox is Bhabhi's sister?'

Bhavya curls a fake smile "What would you like, Gauri Ke Devar Ji?"

"Nothing, I need to leave anyways."

"Hmm. . . Okay."

"Bye." He wished and started to leave.

"Why is he leaving?" Mrs Sharma asked while walking back out.

"He said he has an very important work which he can't hold. I tried stopping him but he just left." Bhavya lied and Rudra, who was walking out hears and shakes his head in disbelief while Mrs Sharma was disturbed by the fact that he left on an empty stomach.

"You could've at least offered him tea."

"I would've if he stayed. He was in a hurry."

"Hmm fine."

"I'll take these plates to the kitchen." She uttered and Mrs Sharma nodded at her.

***

It was night and the decoration for both of the houses were done for the day. Oberoi Mansion was decorated a little too early as the Haldi was the day after tomorrow. While Gauri's home was ready for the function tomorrow.

As the time started flying, the bride, groom and their families took rest, waiting for the next day.

***

It was morning and the sun began to come out from the clouds while the birds were flying in the sky.

"Get up." Bhavya screamed in Gauri's ears, waking her up. "Bhavya! Let me sleep!" Gauri moaned, covering herself with the blanket.

"O Madam! If you keep on sleeping then who'll put the mehendi on?"

Gauri, who had her eyes closed opened them, sitting up instantly.

"The function starts at 4:30 and by the time we get ready, it'll be 4:30 so get up now." Bhavya reminded the time and Gauri sighed, picking her phone up to check the time.

"Hmm, we did extra work and you slept like you did all of the work." Bhavya taunted, knowing it's 10:45.

Gauri had started to panic and stood up, feeling slight butterflies in her stomach. "Help me get ready."

"For that you need to have a shower first. Go quick, after getting you ready, I need to get ready too." Bhavya says and Gauri nods, rushing towards the bathroom.

**

"Tomorrow's your wedding. How are you feeling about that?" Shivaay asked while walking down the corridor of Oberoi Mansion with Omkara.

"I don't know, nervous?" Omkara uttered the most common feeling some people have while their in this situation.

"Haha, everyone feels like that but trust me, it gets better."

"I guess." Omkara responded and Shivaay's phone call ruins the moment, making him excuse himself for a moment.

"And happy too. After so many years I can finally make her mine." He whispered under her breath with a small smile starting to hang from his lips.

"Ahm ahm. Smiling to yourself are we?" Rudra teased whilst approaching him.

"What?" Om questioned after forming serious expressions. "Happy about your day tomorrow?"

"I don't know. A little nervous to be honest." He honestly revealed and Rudra placed his hand on Om's shoulder. "May god bless you." He wished and Om creased his forehead. "You're going to get married which means your freedom will be locked and Bhabhi will have the key."

Om scoffed. "She isn't like that."

"Oho, you already started building facts about her? How romantic."

"Shut up Rudy!"

"Tomorrow you'll be taken. I suggest a bachelorette."

"What. No!"

"I agree." Shivaay says, joining them after his phone call. "Let's have a bachelorette."

Omkara shakes his head, disagreeing.

"Come on O, get a grip of yourself. You're not married yet. Live the live, in full to full party mode." Rudra says and Omkara gives him a glare.

"Please." Shivaay requested and Omkara sighed, giving in. "Okay fine but no alcohol."

"Yes, no alcohol." Shivaay also agrees and Rudra nodded.

"Party without me?" Omkara looked up after a familiar voice interrupted while Rudra and Shivaay turned around.

A large smile appears on Omkara's lips and he makes his way towards him. "Lucky!" He utters in happiness and hugs him while his cousin Lakshya returns the hug.

"Ahem ahem!" Omkara glances up and breaks the hug with Lakshya, shocked to see Ishana, Ravi and Arun.

"Ish, Ravi, Arun. . ." He trialled off and rushed towards them, seeing them after so many years.

"So, finally you're getting married huh?" Ravi asked and Omkara scoffed, hugging the three and they hugged him back.

"I missed you guys."

"Whatever. We missed you and that is a fact. How many times did you meet us in these 6 years?" Ishana asked after they broke the hug.

"Twice and that was only 2 hours per visit." Ravi responded to her question and Omkara gets a little emotional. "I really missed you guys."

"Hmm, we can see that." Arun commented and Lakshya walked towards them. "It's so good to see all of us standing here together after so long."

"It indeed does."

"Who will meet me?" Rudra complains and Lakshya turns towards him. "Rudy, how have you been?" He asked while walking towards him and Rudra hugged him. "Good, how about you?"

"Yeah good." Lakshya replies and they broke the hug.

"Hi." Shivaay uttered and Lakshya smiled at him. "Hi."

**

Gauri was sat in front of the mirror, being assisted by Bhavya, who was helping her get ready.

"What's the time?"

"Gauri, just shush! This is the 20th time you asked in a row. It's still 12:30. It won't change unless you wait for an hour!"

Gauri impatiently stared at herself through the mirror while Bhavya sat with her, watching the beautician do her make up along with rubbing a cream on her arms.

"Can you close your eyes please." Gauri followed as she was told and the beautician had started to do her eye make up.

"Bhavya, if you're not busy then can you help me outside?"

"Ji." Bhavya agrees and stands up, heading towards the door and out along with Mrs Sharma.

"The chairs need arranging."

"I'll get on that." Bhavya says and Mrs Sharma walks towards the kitchen while Bhavya walks to the hall to arrange the chairs.

**

"But her family and my family don't know I know her from a long time." Omkara explained to his friends who were curious to know about how he met Gauri again.

"Wow, are you planning to tell them?" Arun asked and Omkara shrugged. "I don't see the need for it."

"He's right. If he does bring it up then they'll ask too many questions and the past remains the past. It's time for him to focus on his future cause Gauri's his future, not past." Ishana says, to which everyone had agreed on.

"I can't believe you've met her. It is like you two were destined to be, no matter what." Ravi uttered and Om smiled, shaking his head positively.

"Guys, bachelorette is organised." Rudra informed while walking inside the hall and they all look at him.

"Great, where is it?" Lakshya asked and Rudra replied with "Hotel Sunshine. It's open to everyone."

"Looking forward for it."

Omkara wasn't really into it anymore, though some of his old self remained inside of him, his choices and likes/dislikes had changed over these years. He wasn't a party freak anymore, even if he had to go, he'll go for the namesake.

"Damn, I can't get over your long hair." Ravi commented and Omkara looked at him. "Why, what's wrong with long hair?"

"Nothing. It's just. . . I remember you with no beard and short hair."

"Time flies." Arun added his comment in between the two, to which everyone had agreed to.

**

"Bhavya, slowly!" Gauri moaned and Bhavya sighed, putting her jewellery on as slow as she could.

"If you stop moving then I'll get it done quickly."

Gauri rolled her eyes, impatiently staring at the small clock on her table, panicking as it just turned 4.

"Hurry."

"Enough! Let me do it at my own pace!" Bhavya had enough and lashed out, focusing on adorning her with the flower jewellery.

Bhavya was already ready and so was Gauri, but it was just few things that were left to be done. The ladies had also started to arrive, filling up the hall.

"Finally done." Bhavya sighed a relief and then looked at her through the mirror. "Do you want the drape over your head or not?"

"I don't know, what will look good?"

Bhavya shrugged "You tell me."

"Put it on."

Bhavya nodded and picked her dangling drape up, placing it on her head. "Pass me the pins."
Gauri picked the box of pins up from in front of her and held them for Bhavya while she picked few up, starting to pin her drape on her head.

*

"Namaste. . ." Mrs Sharma greeted with her hands folded while the Oberoi ladies walked inside the house with a smile.

"Namaste." Jhanvi greeted back and Mrs Sharma welcomed them inside.

"Aunty, here's the mehendi. . ." Anika uttered and handed her the platter with Mehendi.

"Thank you." Mrs Sharma uttered while taking the platter.

"You take a seat. I'll be right back." They nod and Mrs Sharma walked to the table, placing the mehendi in the middle.

*

"My tummy hurts." Gauri utters and Bhavya gives her a look. "If you eat slowly then it wouldn't hurt. You're stuffing food as if you were hungry for 2 days."

"Don't eye on my food."

"Why will I eye on your food? I already ate that myself."

"I'm really nervous, I don't know why I feel like there's something dancing in my stomach."

"When you said that for the first time, I thought you were hungry but now. . . It happens Gauri, you're about to be taken."

Gauri puts the plate down and glances up at Bhavya with a small frown. "I think that's the thought that's making me slightly nervous."

"Wait, you've got something on your lip." She pointed out and Gauri creased her forehead. "Where?"

Bhavya picks the tissue from the tissue box and heads towards Gauri, wiping the sauce from her lips steadily, making sure she doesn't spoil her make up.

"Are you ready?" Mrs Sharma asked and Gauri looked at the door while Bhavya moved away after cleaning her lip.

"Yes." Gauri responded after inhaling a deep breath.

Bhavya helps her stand and the two start to head out along with Mrs Sharma.

***

Two hours had passed and Omkara was sat in the party, on his own, watching his friends and brothers enjoy.

He released a sigh, standing up and heading to the side, after checking the time, he walked out of the place, wanting to go somewhere more quieter.

**

"Let's see. . ." Bhavya says while pulling her hand towards her, trying to find Om's initials in her mehendi.

"The mehendi lady did a great job." Bhavya added a compliment and failed to find the letter O.

"Let's see if our beloved Bhaiyya will find it or not." Priyanka uttered, teasing Gauri who gave an awkward smile.

The function was over but Priyanka and Anika stayed over for a bit longer, wanting to give Gauri company and know her slightly better.

Gauri's phone buzzes and she slides it beneath her leg, glancing at it.

"Excuse me." She excused herself and they nodded at her while she stood up, starting to walk to the side.

'I'm outside.' She read the message and sneakily headed outside the door, not wanting to get caught by anyone but Priyanka had seen.

"Excuse me." Priyanka excuses herself and stands up, heading in the direction Gauri had headed in.

"Where is she going?" Anika wondered and Bhavya shrugged.

"Would it be rude if we decided to check?" Bhavya asked and Anika gave it a thought.

"I don't think so."

After a while, Gauri was stood outside while Priyanka was spying on her from a distance. Soon she was joined by Bhavya and Anika.

"Prinku, what are you doing here?" Anika asked and Priyanka turned towards her.

"I. . . I was here. . ."

"Is that Gauri over there?" Bhavya asked after noticing Gauri, Priyanka turned back around and Anika glanced at Gauri.

"What is she doing over there?" Anika asked and soon a car stopped in front of her and Omkara had gotten out.

"Om. . ."

"Bhai. . ."

"Who?"

"That's our Bhai, Bhabhi's would to be." Priyanka reveals and Bhavya looks on.

"No, I can't. If I disappear then what will I tell Anika Bhabhi, Maa, Bhavya and Priyanka?"

"They're spying on us from a distance." Omkara revealed and Gauri shockingly turned, seeing them there. "So they'll know." He added and she looked back at him.

"They saw us." Anika says and Bhavya sighed.
"Now they know we're spying on them."

"How embarrassing." Priyanka sighed.

"Come Gauri, please."

"But. . ."

"Don't worry about the but. . ." He interrupted and signed them from a distance that he's taking her.

They nod from a distance and Om looked back at Gauri. "See, they know so they'll handle it."

Gauri sighed, still hesitant but Om opened the door for her and she nervously sat inside, staring at Bhavya, Anika and Priyanka.

Om then headed towards the drivers seat and sat inside. Soon after he started driving off.

"I don't understand. Should we be happy or. . ."

Anika and Bhavya shrugged at Priyanka. "Happy?"

"Hmm." Priyanka hummed back and they headed back inside.

"Where are you guys going?" Mrs Sharma asked and Anika blinked at her.

"Aunty, we need to go home."

"Thank you for having us around." Priyanka smiles, folding her hand.

"Where's Gauri?"

"Bhabhi went to her room."

"Yes. . ." Bhavya continued "She was very tired and we told her to sleep early so she doesn't get dark circles under her eyes."

"Oh okay."

"Aunty, give us permission to leave." Anika says and Mrs Sharma nods at them.

"Take care." They nod at her and start heading out.

"I'll go see if Gauri needs anything, before she goes to sleep." Mrs Sharma nods at her and Bhavya starts heading towards Gauri's room, deciding to cover up.

**

Omkara stops the car and steps out along with Gauri, who blinks at a small tent with decorations on the beach. Inside that tent, there was a table, with food, plates, spoons, forks, knives and flower vases.

Gauri's lips curl a small smile and she closes the door along with Om. As the two walk forward, they meet with no gap between them and Om forwards his hand.

She places hers in his without hesitating, and the two take a step towards it. The music starts playing and Gauri was mesmerised and touched by this effort of his, considering herself lucky.

"You did this for me?"

"For us." He replied and she scoffed, trying to control her teary eyes. "It's beautiful." She softly replied and he pulled her towards him.

"A dance?"

"Why not." She smiled and the lyrics to the music had started playing.

Woh rang bhi kya rang hai
Milta na jo tere hoth ke rang se hubahu

He twirled her while smiling at her, finding her the most beautiful person in the whole world.

Woh khushboo kya khushboo
Thehre na jo teri saanwari zulf ke rubaru

Gauri shyly lowers her gazes after feeling his gazes on her face.

Tere aage ye duniya hai pheeki si
Mere bin tu na hogi kisi ki bhi

He twirls her again, this time pulling her closer to him.

Ab ye zaahir sar-e-aam hai, elaan hai

"I love you." He whispered in her ear and she smiled. "I love you too."

Jab tak jahaan mein subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu

She was closer to his chest and the two moved side to side slowly, doing the slow dance.

Jab tak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu (x2)

Uljhan bhi hoon teri
Uljhan ka hal bhi hoon main

He pushed her out, twirling her back towards him.

Thoda sa ziddi hoon
Thoda pagal bhi hoon main

Barkha bijli baadal jhoothe
Jhoothi phoolon ki saugatein

After making her chest clash with him, he ran his finger down her cheek lovingly while she blinked her innocent eyes at him.

Sacchi tu hai saccha main hoon
Sacchi apne dil ki baatein

He pecked her forehead and she closed her eyes.

Dastkhat haathon se haathon pe kar de tu
Naa kar aankhon pe palkon ke parde tu

He leaned forward, placing a kiss on her lips and she reciprocated.
Kya ye itna bada kaam hai, elaan hai

Jab tak jahaan mein subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu

They broke the kiss and she hugged him tight while he hugged her back.

Jab tak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu (x2)

They were like vanquished stars, until they met again, joining their missing parts, becoming one Scintillating Star!
