After talking with her sister for a while, Manvi moved to see Khushi or say actually Aarav. She entered the room and found Aarav trying to make Khushi sleep. She smiled. She entered in when Aarav looked at her and asked her to stay silent. She nodded. Making sure that Khushi was asleep he freed his hand from her grip and moved to Manvi. Manvi was by now standing by the window. He stood near her and glanced at her...

"Tumhare mann mein ab bhi koi sawal hai?" he asked.

She glanced at him as if he had caught her lying red-handed. He smiled...

"main jaanta hoon ki tum kya soch rahi ho. Yahi na ki main jo kar raha hoon wo sach bhi hai ya nahi."

She looked at her..."aisa nahi hai... Main... Main toh tumhe thank you kehne aayi thi." she replied.

"uski zarurat nahi hai Manvi. Kyunki maine jo kiya apne liye kiya, apni family ke liye kiya." he said.

She looked at him. Tears brimmed in her eyes. He wiped off her tears...

"Jaanta hoon, mujhse shadi karne ka faisla tumne khushi ke liye kiya hai... Hai na!" he asked.

She turned to the other side...

"Haan maine khushi ke liye hi is shaadi ke liye haan ki thi. Lekin..." she turned to him.

"lekin kya?" he asked.

"lekin... Lekin ab maine khud ke liye ek faisla liya hai." she looked at him.

"maine tumhe bahut kuch kaha, tumhari party mein tumhari hi insult ki...lekin tumne toh kuch pucha hi nahi. Ye bhi nahi ki mera ateet kya hai... Aisa toh koi nahi karta Aarav..."

He was listening to her quietly... She moved closer to him...

"Tum toh khushi ki khushi they... Usey bhi nazarandaz kar diya. Lekin tab bhi tumne Khushi ko bachaya, uski har zidd puri karte ho...lekin aaj... Aaj tumne yeh saabit kar diya ki na sirf khushi ke liye balki uski mumma ke liye bhi perfect ho."

He looked at her surprisingly.

She smiled..." thik suna tumne... Pehle main tumse bhaag rahi thi lekin ab lagta hai ki tum hi ho jahan mujhe sukoon milega. "

She said and forwarded her hand. He looked at her and then pulled her into his arms... She placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes... Yeah... She was at peace...and so was her life.

Ruhana who was passing by saw them and a smile appeared on her face, finally her sister had accepted he is perfect for him. She left without disturbing them. She came to her room and talked to the picture of their parents.

"maa papa aaj main khush hun jiska mujhe darr tha wo ab nhi hoga.. meri behen ko meri kismat nhi milegi.. She will be happily married." tears brimmed her eyes and she wiped them off before it could fell.

The next day, preparation were going on in full swing. Anvi and Khushi refused to go to school till ArMan's wedding.

Manvi scolds them "nhi school to tum dono jaoge" she ordered.

Anvi and Khushi gets upset, they sat on the couch with cute pout.

Manvi sighed at their drama and left saying "jaldi se ready ho jao"

Aarav enters in the house after jogging, he sees the girls looking upset and asked them "kya hua aap dono aise kyun baithe ho?"

Anvi glares at him and complains "AM mujhe aur Khushi ko aapki aur maasi ki shaadi tak ghar hi rehna school nhi jaana par maasi hai ki manti nhi"

Aarav looks at Khushi who shakes her head with sad expressions..

Then Ruhana comes out of kitchen and says "are tum dono abhi tak ready nhi hui school ke liye"

Aarav comes to her and suggested "main keh raha tha ki shaadi tak Anvi aur khushi ko ghar hi rehne dete hai let them enjoy all rituals"

Ruhana looked at him "baat to sahi hai par school jana bhi to zaroori hai"

The girls gets upset... Anvi says "mumma please bas 3 days ki to baat hai"

Aarav also supports the girls "Haan... Please" he requested on girls behalf

Ruhana sighed and agrees "acha thik hai.."

Khushi and Anvi gets happy and they hug Ruhana.

Aarav smiles and moved to fresh up, on the way he saw Manvi glancing at him.

"tumhe nhi lagta tum kuch zyada hi sar chada rahe ho khushi ko?"

Aarav nods no "nhi.. Bas I want her to smile" and walks ahead. Manvi smiles at this...

The day passed in preparation and shopping for the wedding.

The next day was Haldi ceremony.

Manvi was with khushi her eyes fell at the door. A smile appeared on her face. She moved to them "shanta kaki, laxmi kaki, ramlal kaka, chotu aap sab yahan"

Laxmi smiled "Haan jaise hi Ruhana beti ne bataya tumhari shaadi hai hum to aa gaye"

Manvi glanced at Ruhana and thanked her threw her eyes, Ruhana gave her a smile in return.

Khushi sees them and comes running.. "wowy..kaki.." she hugged kanta..

"kaisi hai hamari shaitan" she asked her..

Khushi replied "bahut achi aao na main papa se nilwati hoon" and she pulls her along with others.

Anvi comes to Manvi "maasi chalo na aapko haldi Anvi pehle lagayegi" she takes her and makes her sit.

She starts applying Haldi on her face as instructed by Ruhana.

It was now Ruhana's turn. She smiles and applies haldi on her.. Aarav stood at the door and saw this.

He eyed at Manvi and when Manvi looked at him he waved with his hands "looking perfect".

Manvi gave him a smile.

Khushi comes and says "khushi bhi lagayegi" she digs both her hands into haldi and applies on Manvi's face. Manvi kisses on Khushi's cheek.

The next evening was mehndi and Sangeet ceremony held together.

Anvi said to Aarav "AM please sing na"

Aarav nods.. "nahi anvi aaj nhi"

Khushi also requests him "papa sing na please"

He starts singing,

Dosti Karate Nahi Dosti Ho Jaati Hai

Dosti Badh Jaae To Aashiqi Ban Jaati Hai

Aashiqi Badh Jaae To Bandagi Ban Jaati Hai

Hotho Ke Upar Rukati Nahi

Ruhana joins him...

Palako Ke Pichhe Chhupati Nahi

Lagati Nahi Ye Dil Ki Lagi Lag Jaae To Phir Bujhati Nahi

Kaisaa Nashaa Hai Is Pyaar Kaa Dil Jisase Madahosh Ho Jaate Hai

Kuchh Log Gaate Hai Jhumake Kuchh Log Khaamosh Ho Jaate Hai

Aarav looked at Manvi.

Ye Khaamoshi Ik Din Shaayari Ban Jaati Hai

Dosti Karate Nahi Dosti Ho Jaati Hai

Dosti Badh Jaae To Aashiqi Ban Jaati Hai

Aashiqi Badh Jaae To Bandagi Ban Jaati Hai

Chalate Hai Jaadu Yu Pyaar Ke Sab Log Hairaan Ho Jaate Hai

Jo Pyaar Karate Hai Kahate Nahi Chupake Se Qurbaa Ho Jaate Hai

Dil Me Kisi Ki Rahati Hai Yaad Hotho Pe Rahataa Hai Koi Naam

Qurbaan Jaae Is Pyaar Me Is Pyaar Ko Ham Sabakaa Salaam

Pyaar Ki Pahali Nazar Aakhari Ban Jaati Hai

Dosti Karate Nahi Dosti Ho Jaati Hai

Dosti Badh Jaae To Aashiqi Ban Jaati Hai

Aashiqi Badh Jaae To Bandagi Ban Jaati Hai

Ye Khaamoshi Ik Din Shaayari Ban Jaati Hai

Aashiqi Badh Jaae To Bandagi Ban Jaati Hai

Pyaar Ki Pahali Nazar Aakhari Ban Jaati Hai

Pyaar Ki Ye Maut Bhi Zindagi Ban Jaati Hai.

Aarav holds Manvi and takes her along and both look at each other. Everyone claps...

Finally mehendi was applied on Manvi's hand.

Manvi was at the terrace looking at the moon up in the sky. Aarav came there in search of her.. "tum yaha ho maine pura ghar doond liya"

Manvi turned to him.. He came close to her and looked at her hands.. Manvi smiled and asked "achi hai na?"

Aarav nods and replies "tumse zyada nhi" he then grabs her hands and continues speaking "ye rang se zyada gehre rang honge ab tumhare pass.. I promise.."

Manvi looked into his eyes for the first time and could feel the love he has for her.

Aarav says "aise mat dekh pagli pyar ho jayega"

Manvi shakes her head.. "tum yahi kehne aaye they"

"nhi wo main bye bolne aaya tha!" he said leaving her hand.

Manvi was confused "bye?"

Aarav nods "Haan jaunga nhi to baarat kaise leke aayega ye besharam" with a tease smile on his face.

Manvi smiles a bit.. He waves her bye and leaves after meeting khushi.

Later at night inside the room.. she looked at it, Ruhana came to her and asked her "kya soch rahi ho?"

Manvi looked at her and said "socha nhi tha kabhi uss hadse ke baad ye din bhi aayega"

"zindagi aise hi hoti hai Mannu.. kab badal jaye pta nhi.." Ruhana said

Manvi makes her sit on bed and keeps her head on her lap.. "waise di ek baat puchu aapse?"

"Haan pucho na!"

"kya kabhi aapne nhi chaha jiju aur aap ek saath rahe Anvi ke liye" she eyed her from down.

Ruhana replies her with "kabhi kabhi aise faisle lene padte hai Mannu apne swarth se upar uthke"

"lekin di.. Aap aur.." Manvi was stopped by Ruhana..

"dekh ye sab baatein pehle bhi ho chuki hai abhi chup chap so ja" Ruhana scolds her,

Manvi sighed "aap to meri sunte nhi" she gets up and goes to other end of the bed to sleep. Ruhana smiles at this.

"hadh hai main gussa kar rahi hoon aur aap ho ki muskura rahi ho" she complains when she notices Ruhana smiling at her.

Ruhana side hugs with "ab bas kar.. Nautanki mat kar"

Manvi looked on.. and they have a talk for sometime..

The next day wedding preparations had began.. Anvi welcomed all the guests, Ruhana got busy in arranging things at the Mandap which was built outside the house in the garden area.. It was Manvi's wish for marriage to happen at home only.

Manvi took out the dress which she bought many years ago and now it was time for her to wear it.

She wears the dress, Anvi comes inside the room and looks at her "wah maasi gazab"

Manvi smiles at her.. Anvi makes her sit on the chair in front of the dressing.

"ab main aapka make up karti hoon akhir I am expert in it"

Manvi says "Haan meri expert I know"

Anvi starts..

Ruhana comes inside and says "anvi khushi tumhe bula rahi hai jaake dekho"

Anvi nods and rushes to see Khushi...

Ruhana comes to Manvi and places her hand on her shoulder.. "bahut bahut sundar lag rahi ho"

Manvi smiles a bit..ruhana says "kuch missing hai" Manvi looked at her bewildered.

Ruhana brings the dupatta and places it on her head.. "ab perfect"

Manvi gets up and hugs her. Tears brimmed her eyes. Ruhana wipes her tears "hey aaj nhi.. It is big day for you so.. Smile"

Manvi nodes.

They hear the noise from outside.. "lo aa gaye dulhe Raja" Ruhana teased her.

She went down and welcomed Aarav. Khushi came running and climbed into Aarav's arm.

"woohu.. Papa aap khushi ke liye aaye ya mumma ke liye?" she asked him

Aarav replied "dono ke liye"

Ruhana spoke up "khushi neeche uthro chalo.."

Khushi nods and gets down...

Manvi comes out and stands beside him. Both look at each other. The marriage rituals begins with varmala.

Then they moved to towards the mandap.

Pandit jee asked "kanyadan ke liye pita ya bhai ko bulaye"

Manvi calls Ruhana... "mere liye di hi bhai behen maa papa sab kuch hai..."

Ruhana does her kanyadan.. They take rounds and Aarav fills her maang and ties mangalsutra.. Khushi and Anvi clap.

"Wovy.. Congratulations... Maasi and AM" Anvi wishes them...

Ruhana tells Anvi "Anvi call him mausaji now"

Anvi nods "oh mumma.. I will call him AM only.. Aapko problem hai kuch?" she asked

Aarav replies in no "no Anvi.. I have no problem"

Later they have dinner.

It was the bidai time.. Manvi hugs Ruhana and Anvi.

Anvi says "I will miss you maasi and Khushi ko bhi"

Manvi replies "main bhi" she kisses her forehead.

Khushi had already gone and sat inside the car as she was excited to go to new home.

Ruhana says "apna aur khushi ka khayal rakhna"

Manvi nods.

Aarav and Manvi then sits inside the car and pulls down the window.. they wave bye to Ruhana and Anvi.. Khushi also waves them.. "bye maasi.. Bye Vi.." till the car vanishes on the road.

Later in the night, Ruhana felt the house empty. She went to check Anvi who was sitting on the bed with a picture in her hand.

Ruhana came to her and sat beside her "anvi.."

Anvi looked at her and asked her "mumma khushi ko apne papa mil gaye aur ab wo unke saath rahegi to kyun Anvi mumma aur papa dono ke saath reh sakti?"

Ruhana was left stunned with a sudden question of her. She looked into Anvi's eyes which demanded an answer from her.
