Six months later.......

Today was the day, the wedding celebrations of mukti and Alia's wedding. In these six months that passed Mukti and Alia decided to get married on the same day. They had been best friends since birth and wanted to get married on the same day and hopefully have kids at the same time. The boys were all in for their plans so the months went by planning and Manik and Nandini were now back in India as well. They had sorted their issues in U. S. A. and would also go on their honeymoon the same time these people went. The girls went one side while the guys went for the other.

Girl's side: Alia and Mukti's parents,Manik, Nandini and Kabir.

The boys side: Dhruv and Abhimanyu's parents, Nandini's parents, Rishab and Anjali, and Navya. They also had relatives invited and most of them had arrived at the location too.

Today was the first step towards marriage and that was the engagement ceremony. The roka was done privately between the families at home when meeting to talk about their kids future together.

In Malhotra Mansion:-
Manik and Nandini had successfully moved back to India in that time period so they were able to convince them to hold the wedding in their huge garden area which Mukti and Alia wanted. The parents were adamant on keeping it in a five star but the girls convinced them.
They practically emotionally blackmailed their parents tricking them to hold the wedding ceremonies here. But the main wedding would be held in an even more open space because the house would not be able to accommodate so many people.
You could feel the joy in the atmosphere just by looking at the decorations. The house was covered completely in the theme of cream and blue. The boys favorite colors. Since everything was the girls choice they let the boys have the color and cocktail night. The rest was for the girls to see.
Navya as the wedding planner was a cherry on the cake. She immediately called her staff and took care of everything herself. Nandini and Manik took care for the media and guests along with the things needed for these ceremonies as a lot is done during weddings. Kabir convinced Navya to let him handle the food section. He was the best after all.

In the evening:-

All the arrangements were done and most of the family members were downstairs mainly the men and were interacting with their guests and business partners. They wore suits with different shades of blue all looking stunning and handsome.

The guests wore outfits that went perfectly well according to the theme kept. The media were also invited who were politely talking to the people invited one by one. All the ladies were downstairs except for the girls.

Abhi's pov.
I was in a conversation with Mr. Khanna who was one of the investors in Murthy Industries along with papa and Chachu when I heard people gushing all around the room and they go silent out of nowhere and the lighting was dimmed as well. I turned to look in the direction they kept staring at only to feel faint but excited. My beautiful Mukti was coming down the stairs looking exceptional. I couldn't take my eyes off her.

I was busy admiring my wife but someone interrupted me by smacking my head. I turned and saw Manik standing there with a solemn look.

Abhi pov end.

"done checking out my sister brother" he said looking at me not expecting me to reply. Sorry bro but you'll lose this round.

"no not yet but it's not like you weren't checking out my sister for a whole minute there. I could see you droll over her from the corner of my eyes" I said smugly not expecting him to reply.

"So you weren't lost in my sister if you saw so many details. I'll let my sister know about your thoughts" he said looking at me smirking.

"Dude you better not you know my wife she'll kill me" Abhi said after which they laughed and hugged each other.

Abhi moved forward along with Dhruv to fetch their respective partners. They went and respectfully held their girls hands and brought them to the centre of the room.

Mr. Murthy and Mr. Vedant came on the stage and took hold of the mics that were given to them by the supporting staff.

Mr. Murthy aka Sameer "hello everyone we are glad to have you all present here with us today to celebrate our children's happiness"

Mr. Vedant aka Ranvir continues "yes and we're even more grateful to get rid of our sons. It's about time they left us alone with our wife's"

Sameer nodded his head in agreement and said "yes honestly but we feel lucky to get such understanding daughters in our house"

Mr. Murthy and Mr. Vedant together "so son do us a favour and leave your mother and I alone it's time we concentrate on each other"

And they hugged each other screaming "freedom!!!" And came down the stage and all were laughing hard especially Mukti and Alia to the extreme that they had tears in their eyes. Dhruv and Abhi had their mouths wide open. Their jaw dropped. They couldn't believe their father's words.
Then Raj and Sharan controlling the situation announced for the rings ceremony. Kabir had Abhi's ring and Manik had Dhruv's.

Dhruv and Alia

Mukti and Abhi.

They exchanged the rings while everyone clapped and the younger clan hooted. Abhi kissed Mukti and Dhruv did the same to Alia.

Then Nandini took hold of the mic "everyone please gather around for cake cutting"

Kabir clapped twice and two butlers brought the cake out on a trolley and laid it on the table and left.

Mukti and Alia were damn happy. The cake was just like they wished for.
Mukbhi and Dhrulia cut the cake together. Then another cake was brought out. All the guests were confused and then Alia screamed loudly "Oh my god !!!!!!! Today is my birthday how could I forget about it"

All laughed and then Alia cut the cake. She fed her parents first, Dhruv and then all her close ones.

Alia's dad pulled her into a hug and said "happy twenty fourth birthday my princess" he kissed her forehead.

"Thank you baba"

She then hugged her mom and her mom kissed her forehead.

Mr. And Mrs Saxena.

Alia then received gifts from every one.

First her parents.
Her dad handed her a key.

She confused looked at him. He winked and her smile grew wide and she ran out to see a brand new car.
It was a lamborgini.

Next it was Raj and Niyonika

Alia: Aunty but these are not out yet.

Niyonika: on my order they made only one set of these. They are not for sale in public.

Alia: Aunty.... and hugged her. Thank you.

Next was mukbhi.

They gave her five latest outfits from L'Oréal fashion week. She jumped and hugged both of them.

Next was Kabir and Navya.
Kabir gave her

Alya: Kabir how do u know my chocolate stash is over.

Kabir: when I was at ur house.

She smiled and hugged him.

Navya gave her earrings which were so pretty.

"Oh my god!!! Navya thank u so much. You went through my wishlist didn't you" Navya smiled sheepishly and said "well don't leave your account with me".

Next was Manik's turn.
What Manik gifted brought tears to Kabir Dhruv and Mukti's eyes as well.

It was a collage of their pics with fab 5 written in the middle.
And then he called.

Manik: Kabir, Dhruv, Mukti, Alia catch!!!! He threw something in air and all jumped and caught theirs.

It was the fab five keychain.

Fab five had decided to stop their music career but now they are back with a bang.

Fab five: group hug!!!!!! All jumped on Manik and had a tight group hug. Alia was sobbing. So Manik started singing to console her.

Yar milte hai pyar milte hai
Hamko yarro nasib se
Ek duje ki adate bante dil ko chute karib se
Har hassi be aansu pe de de jo pehra
Ek din kyu chale hain jate chod ke tanha
Yeh dosti..... milti nasib se
Yeh dosti....milti nasib se
Yeh dosti.... milti nasib se
Yeh dosti.... najuk hain narm hain
Yeh dosti.... yaaro ka karm hain

Ooooo....

Come on join me. He said and took his guitar.

Kabir started playing drums and Mukti gave beats on her electric guitar.
Dosti Ankh se chalak ti hain
Jab Ban ke Paani
Har kisi bund me jalkti hain
Koyi kahaani
Zindgi ke rasto pe hote kitne male
Dosto ke khone ka bhi hota hain phir khel
Yeh dosti....karti hain ankh num
Yeh dosti.... deti hain khub gum
Yeh dosti.... milti hain nasib se
Yeh dosti.... khilti hain nasib se

Dhruv continued with his guitar and Alia playing the keyboard.

Hota kya fasla pucha karta hu main khudse
dur hain log jo sach main hain kya dur mujse
Dil ki jebo main hain sikee jiski batton ke
Pass hain wo phir kahi bhi betha hu chupke

All crying. Alia's and Mukti's makeup overflowing. They all sang together and end the song with a group hug.

Yeh dosti.... tute bhi ruthke
Yeh dosti.... banti bhi tutke
Yeh dosti.... banti nasib se
Yeh dosti.... chalti nasib se.

All then jumped yet in the hug and screamed ''One for all; all for one''

Their happiness clearly shown and with that all the guest moved towards the food area.
They had planned to go out but before they left Dhruv pulled Alia to a corner.

"what are u doing Dhruv. All are waiting for us" she said trying to get out of his embrace.

"Wait a minute baby I have something that I wanted to give" he said pulling her to him even more.

"Tell me then what is it that you have for me here"

"close ur eyes love" he whispered in her ear.

Alia closed her eyes and felt something on her neck a minute later.
It a was a necklace.

She smiled brightly "this is from titanic isn't it"

"With my luck the owner of the necklace put it out on an auction so I bought it for my baby girl"

"Dhruv this would have costed you a lot baby why would you spend so much on me"

"I'll spend my entire fortune on you love but I have something else as well"

"Show it to me please"

It was a diamond bracelet that had charms on it. But the lock charm was missing something.

"No key, I thought every lock had a key" she asked him curiously.

"it's right here" He showed her his wrist and she took hold of it to kiss it.

"Thank u Dhruv" she said and he kissed her after which they moved towards their friends who had till now changed into comfortable cloths.
