The Kapoor mansion was abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming Haldi celebration of two of their most loved family members.

After much consideration they had decided to have the ceremony at a different location,

Rishabh was excited he was finally marrying the woman he truly loved this time there wasn't any regrets or unhappiness in his eyes, he was eagerly waiting at the hall for his bride to be.

After many discussions amongst themselves, Mahesh and Rakhi Luthra had decided that sending and invite to the Luthra Matriarch was the right thing to do so they send a driver with an invite to the Luthra house

When Bani Luthra first received the invitation card she had assumed it was a letter from her beloved son so she opened it with enthusiasm but as she read it she was filled with dismay as she knew that this new developments was surely going to tear her family even further apart, Karan who had been watching his grandmother's changing emotions walked over and took the card from her,

Karan: " yeh nahi ho saktha, this cannot happen, my brother can't marry my wife, I wont let this happen"

Filled with fury he rushed to his room and dialled a number.

Meanwhile Preeta arrived at the venue. Overwhelmed by the decorations.

Her sisters had gone over and above to make this day special.

Her look

Rishabh looked at his bride to be. The love of his life. She was filled with joy today and so were his parents. He saw her retreating to the bedroom and  followed her without detection as Preeta turned to close the door behind her she slammed into a chest, she looked up to find Rishabh looking at her with intensity, she smile and he followed her into the room closing the door.

Rishabh: " Mrs soon to be Preeta Rishabh Luthra, your haldi ceremony will be incomplete if I don't apply it to you as well.".

He brought a bowl from behind him and placed it on the dresser then took the paste in his hands and bent down he rubbed it on her feet and ankles, then applied it on her bare waist making her shiver, he leaned and rubbed his check against her waist sensually, then he stood and applied the paste on her hands and then her bossom area and then her cheeks and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him he leaned and rubbed his cheek against hers breathing on to her ear causing her to gasp sharply, they were both so lost in the moment they failed to see a man watching them from the window with fire blazing in his eyes, She was his and his alone and his blood boiled to see his brother so close to her, his babydoll. Dammit she was his wife. He left from there angrily.

Rishabh returned to his room to get changed for the Mendhi ceremony.

While Preeta got dressed amidst moments of blushes as she thought back to her and Rishabhs escapades.

She got dressed and came down.

Pragya, Shristi brought her to the stage to get her mendhi done, they sang and danced in joy. 

They ended the evening with alot of joy while the mothers of the bride and groom were busy sorting out the remaining arrangements for the upcoming nuptials.

They retired for the night.

Preeta fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

While the house was dark, Karan snuck into the room and looked at Preeta, in his mind he thought. " Tomorrow Babydoll I will take you away from here, I will never let you belong to anyone else." With that he snuck back out of the room.

The next morning everyone woke up and the girls all went to Preetas room to get her dressed, they fussed and pampered over her and Preeta felt true joy as she had all her sisters preparing her this time, and she would be marrying a man she respected and cared for and she knew that he felt the same way.

As her sisters completed her look they turned to her,

PRAGYA"  My Pari, you are the most beautiful bride, I wish you all the happiness, may bo evil eye fall on you" and she put the kajal behind her ear".

Shristi: " Sach Di, you look beautiful and what a glow you have".

Disha: " Ah preeta di, may all the joys be yours always."

Sarla came and also praised her and reminded her that she would need to keep her gunghat on when she came down. Then they left her to deal with a few last minute details.

In the meantime Rishabh was at the mandap doing pre marriage rituals,  at the same time Bani dadi, Kareena and Karan arrived at the wedding,  Rakhi and Sarla greeted them and led them to be seated, meanwhile Karan messaged his guys to act now while everyone was busy.

3 masked guys came in and entered the brides room, one covered her mouth with chloroform and then they brought another girl and put her in the room.
They took her too van and drove away and messaged Karan to say it was done. Karan smirked.

The pandit asked for the bride to be brought, and the bride was brought down and sat next to Rishabh and began the rituals.
They began taking pheras.

Karans thoughts, one more and then my brother will be married to someone else and my babydoll will remain mine forever.

The groom tied the nuptial necklace and then took the vermillion and put on her mang.

Pandit:" congratulations you are now husband and wife, you can take the blessings of the elders"

Sarla: " Preeta, take out the veil".

She froze and Pragya and Disha stepped foward and removed it.

Everyone looked at the bride and noticed the kumkum on her nose. They bent and took the blessings.

While Karan Luthra stood in shock as there in front of him stood Preera Arora,  no Preeta Rishabh Luthra.

He looked around and saw a smirking Prajun,Dishrab and Shrishmeer.
