Ruhana's POV

'Cheh mahine kaise beete yaad bhi nahi.. Bahut se yaadgar pal the, aur bahut kuch aise jinme mujhe gussa aya, khud par, RD par, puri duniya par.

Kuch pal main paglon ki tarah hasti rahi, aur kuch pal meri aankhei nam hui

Wo kehte hai na, waqt ke saat saat puraane ghaav bhar jate hai, sahi hai.

Maine RD ko maaf kar diya hai.

Mujhe wo dardnak din ab yaad nai aate.

Han ab likh toh rahi hu, par sach mei main aagey badh chuki hu.

Aaj main wakkai bahut khush hu

Mere sath mere dost hai, Mumma Papa hai, CID ki puri team bhi

Aur ... RD :)

Well, aaj meri shaadi hai usse

Haha! Shadi ke din bhi Dairy mei entry likh rahi hu... Shayad mujhe writer banna chahiye. CID officer Nahi.

Khair ab bhi waqt hai, main hilaungi apni kalam

Jo sapne bune the, unhe sach hota dekhungi

Badhungi main aage, naa peeche dekhungi main

Meri ankhei jo hai ab jhukengi nahi, guroor se dekhti rahengi

Jo tha dard, wo bhulachuki main

Is pal ko yaadgar banachuki main

Mere kalam se, in alfazon se,

Mujhe mili hai rahat, mere dard-e-dil ko thandat

Koi na tha jo sunte the meri aahat

Par ab hai ko koi, jise mujhse hai chaahat

Ab main akeli nahi, mujhmei hai hazar shaktiya

Pyar, himmat, dosti... jo rahengi mujhe sambhalne, humesha mere saat

Anth tak.'

Ruhana smiles ending the diary entry for the day. Okay there are events to write. She'll have to follow up later. It's her wedding day! And here she is getting thoughtful and poetic at 7 AM in the morning.

"Shadi k din bhi likhte likhte baithi..."

The door to my room is open and someone steps inside. RD-

She smiles at him.

"Han tumhe bola tha na, mujhe acha lagta hai likhna..."

He gives a smile before walking over to where she is and resting his hands on her shoulders affectionately. Ruhana touches his hand, returning the gesture. It's been a month since they are officially engaged and are living together. To be precise, she was shocked when RD proposed the idea. Her parents were shocked too but knowing that marriage is just around the corner and both of them were cops who hardly got to spend time with each other, they had to agree. Not a bad decision though, in fact it's been a great decision.

In these few days she got to see how caring and sweet he can be. And truly felt that she can forgive his one mistake.

"I'll always support you, Ruhana..."

Her grin widens.. Words she wanted to hear. Her eyes lock with his when she turns around to look at him, he brings his face closer but there's a clatter, and someone clears their throat.

"Ahem! RD tum bahar jao.. Hum ladkiyon ko bahut kaam hai.."

Ruhana totally seems to forget all about RD and just jumps from her chair.

"Oh my god! Tum sab log yaha?"

There's everyone! All her girl pals from CID Mumbai, Jaipur, and her childhood friends from Jodhpur and even Sree, Angel and Preet who she hadn't seen in ages.

"Oh my god guys!!" She yelps as she runs to give them a group hug.

***

RD POV~~

The girls hug, squealing and screaming and RD knows it's time to get out. Cause well it's ladies' time now.

They are blocking the doorway.. How will he go?

He's relieved to see Kavin pushing his way inside. That must be Kavin right?

"Dude lets go!"

RD heaves a sigh of relief when KV reaches out for him, finally pull him out side.

He glances back at Ruhana who's still busily chatting with her friends.

"Kya zamana aa gaya.. Shadi se pehle hi pati ko bhul gayi.."

He mumbles under his breath but KV seems to have heard it.

"Haha.. don't be mad. See my girl there? Wo bhi pagal hai... ladkiya hai hi aisi.. Chahe super cop ho ya doctor, in the end there are only girls. And girls need is love. Parents se, doston se apne special someone se... kitni simple hai unki khwahishei, par koi sunta hi nahi..."

RD can't help but blink in surprise at Kavin's words. He didn't know KV was so emotional and that he respected women so much. As someone who lost his little sister, who loved his little girl all his life, he can understand what those feelings are, before he can open up, someone abruptly pulls KV aside by his arm, a girl in early twenties with curly hair.. One of Ruhana's buddies? What's her name? She must be a doctor if he is not wrong.

"Aww mera KV.. kitna sweet hai. Kya khayalat hai hum ladkiyon k bare mei...." she kisses him on the cheek.

RD has to look away, almost feeling shy. What's wrong? He's never shy!

"Arey Sree, yaar tumne sab sun liya?" KV is the one feeling embarrassed now.

"Haan humari ladkiyon ko bhi bataungi, mere wo kitne sweet hai.. Chalo pehle mishti doi khao... tumhe khilana tha isliye aayi.. Acha main chalti hu. Ruhana wait karri hai mera.."

Sree makes a run for Ruhana's room again. RD can only watch with KV, smiles on both of their faces.

Ruhana's POV

She's so happy. Her parents are here too. Her Dad decides to join the boys but her mother is watching her, happy tears in her eyes as she stands there in an elegant white gown.

They decided to have a christian style wedding, a childhood dream of hers. RD's grew up in a christian family himself which is a bonus. She has always thought of the man as someone who's selfish, who hid secrets but there's more to him. She now knows his troubled childhood and after knowing that his little sister whom he adored wasn't actually related to him by blood...

She pushes back her thoughts and smiles at her mom.

"Kaisi lagri hu?" she asks, eyeing her friends in a glance and looking back at her mom.

"Pari ki tara..." her mom kisses her forehead.

"Mom, I love you. Thank you guys, I love you all..."

She exchanges hugs with her mom and everyone, tears gathering in her eyes. "Thank you!"

"Ab hotshot ladka mila hume na bhoolna." Angel reminds her as she hugs her,"pata nai mera wala kidher hai.."

She pouts causing Ruhana to laugh. "Arey tumhe toh humesha wahi khayal rehta hai."

"Haw! Han toh! Aur nei toh kya? Mujhe bouquet chahiye samjhi... tu mujhe degi! Bas!!"

"Aur mujhe?" Sree is the one pouting too.

Ruhana is a fix, "ek hi bouquet dono ko kaise du?"

Preet suggests, "do bouquets lelena..."

Everyone laughs. Ruhana agrees.

"How about teen? Tumhe nai chahiye kya?"

Preet shrugs, "sab ko chahiye hota yar.. Par aaj ka din tumhara hai. I'm happy for you."

Angel nods, "yes we are."

Sree agrees, "haan, nani. We love you."

"We love you" Preet and Angel repeat the words.

Ruhana hugs the three of them. Love you too guys! She says. While Preet mumbles something similar to what Angel said, "pata nai mera wala kidher hai.."

***

Preet's POV

The door opens as the girls begin to rush out. Preet is carrying a tray of glasses kept on the counter. Some of them half filled. She is in a hurry when she collides into someone. The juice from the glasses is now on his suit!

RD??

No... A handsome man is staring at her, lips thinned, a frown on his face. Is he a CID officer? Oh crap!

She begins to apologize in a rush, he begins to smile and then chuckle.

"It's okay..." he assures her.

"No it's... aapka suit.. Pata nai.. Maine dekha nai. I'm sorry.. I'll wipe it for you..."

In her panicked state, she almost drops the tray but he catches it.

"It's fine..." he assures her, "give it here. You're one of Ruhana's friends right?"

Preet nods, "han. Aur aap--"

Her question is answered by a loud shout, "Dushyant!"

The guy she bumped into, Dushyant smiles at her once more, "that's me.I'll see you around, miss--"

"Preet."

"Preet it is."

Another smile,taking the tray from her hands, he is gone.

Shayad mera wo milaya? What's she thinking?!

Shaking her head, she goes back to her girl gang.

***

Angel's POV

Angel sits bored. The wedding is around 12PM. they are all dressed up and ready to move already? By 9 AM? She fiddles with her dress. She can see Ruhana is bored too. Makeup dressup over. what next??

The car they booked hasn't arrived.

Ruhana looks like a cute bride, sitting there. The boy gang is assemble just across, in the large living room of RD-Ruhi's place.

Apparently the boys have booked a car and it's not arrived yet.

"I can't believe hum itni jaldi taiyar hogaye.." says one of the men.

He's tall and quite handsome. Angel finds herself staring at him.

"Hum bore ho chuke.." the words spill from her mouth.

Then she shuts it.

"Oops... sab itne chup kyun hogaye? Sab ko sunayi dia ab!" she pouts.

Ruhana laughs, "arey hum sab wakkai bored hai.. And I'm feeling antsy!"

Her mom rubs her back while RD is up at once rushing to her side.

"Antsy? Kyu?? Pre marriage stress hai kya?? Lo ye lemonade piyo.. Arey please koi juice le aao!"

"Bhai jaan, aap kyu stress horahe?" asks one of the men.

RD smiles, feeling little shy..

"Jab mere jane mann, jaane tammanna stressed hai, toh obviously main bi..."

As everyone say "oye hoye..."

Angel comes up with a brilliant idea.

"I got it! Car ke aane tak naacho sab log! Ruhi, music system ka remote do!"

And she takes care of all the music...

A loud song begins to play. The guys and girls divide into two batches dancing on either side of the large decorated hall-

Ye Kudiyaan Nashe Di Pudiyaan

The guys sing along as the song plays, Dushyant pulls Sachin along with him. KV is already dancing..

Ye Munde Gali De Gunde

the girls pull out their tongues, Angel makes faces at the guys which makes someone laugh. she pulls Preet along to dance with her.

Ye Kudiyaan Nashe Di Pudiyaan
Ye Munde Gali De Gunde
Nashe Di Pudiyaan
Gali De Gunde

"Oye hoye...!"

Angel stops dancing is lost admiring the man next to RD as they dance. the same man from earlier? kamaal ka nachta hai, banda.

"Kamal hai! Tu naachti kyu nai?" asks Ruhana, "aur kisko ghoorri hai? Sachin sir ko han??"

Angel is suddenly very happy, she cries out loud, "toh uska naam sachin hai?! Banda hot-"

She shuts her mouth, realizing music has stopped and everyone is listening to her

Bad timing. Not that she's shy girl... par hey! this can be embarrassing

The Sachin guy has noticed her too, he's coming her way..

What?

"Hello. I'm Sachin..."

She smiles at him, "hello, I'm Angel. Ruhi ka dost."

Sachin nods, "haan malum hai.. par ruk kyu gayi? Dost ki shadi mei nahi nachengi?"

"Hei? Kyu naii arey hum punjabi na nache ye kaisa hosakta hai, aur apni yaar di vyah me? Gaana kyu band hua??!"

With an energetic shout, Angel rushes into the group of dancing girls, "music chalu karo bhai! Kisne rok dia?"

"Behenji, thoda problem agaya tha. Ab thik hai," says one of the guys near the sound system

the song continues

RD sings looking at Ruhana,

O Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna
Doli Saja Ke Rakhna
Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna
Doli Saja Ke Rakhna
Lene Tujhe O Gori
Aayenge Tere Sajna
Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna
Doli Saja Ke Rakhna

humming the last line he reaches for Ruhana, as the song goes on, Everyone dances... 

when the song ends, Angel makes Ruhana sit, chiding her for dancing in her wedding gown!

***

Ruhana's POV

Angel's crazy idea has got everyone moving. Even Preet who hardly dances. She's smiling looking at her friends, her smile widening as RD grins looking at her. He looks so handsome, dacing in punjabi style while dressed in a wedding Tuxedo. Their eyes meet and he walks closer..

The song suddenly changes to a romantic number...

"Sab Tera" from baaghi.

Na jiya zindagi ek pal bhi

Tujhse hoke juda sun zara

RD holds out his hand. Ruhana puts hers in his, her engagement ring glittering on the other.

Bin tere mujhse naraz tha Dil

Tu mila hai toh hai kehraha..

He pulls her close, both lost in each other's eyes.

He twirls her around, once again pulling her against his chest.

Main toh tere rang mein

Rang chuka hoon

Bas tera ban chuka hoon

Mera mujhme kuch nahi...

He traces her cheek with his hand, she smiles leaning into his touch

sab tera..

She rests her head on his chest, just listening to his heartbeat...

He embraces her a smile on his face.

"Thank you Ruhana," he whispers kissing her forehead when she looks up.

"Thank you for choosing me. I promise you won't regret it."

She smiles nodding.

Main toh tere dhang mein

Dhal chuki hoon

Bas teri ban chuki hoon

Mera mujhme kuch nahi

Sab tera, sab tera..

Sab tera, sab tera..

Hand in hand they dance to the tune.

The dance goes on until the cars arrive.

The youngsters have a fun filled time as the elders watch them with smiles on their faces.
