On one very beautiful & special day, the academy was decorated heavily with flowers, lights & what not and was not looking less than a bride.  

The huge board or 'PARAKRAM SAF' was beautifully decorated using some garlands of marigold. Moving forward, the whole passage for entrance was decorated with rose petals and some aesthetic flower pots were also kept at some distance. The decorations were minimal as the responsibility of the decorations was given to Special Agent Major Karan Shergill, so isn't it obvious for the things to be minimalistic??

Karan, who was all dressed up in a beautiful blue shimmery kurta pairing it with monochrome churi dar and dupatta was looking extremely hot and ravishing that no girl would be able to avert her gaze from him.

Karan along with Sid and Bala went to Faizi's room where he was standing in front of the mirror and was staring at a picture in his phone. The picture had him, Koel and Nikhil looking extremely happy. Faizi's eyes started brimming tears of joy, but he wiped them immediately hearing the commotion at the door. He turned back and saw his chosen family and became quite emotional. Karan smiled as he understood what going on in his mind and hugged him tight. He rubbed Faizi's back and Faizi too got a hold of his emotions and reciprocated Karan's hug happily. Sid and Bala went out to give the groom some privacy with his best friend cum brother. But returned after a few minutes because they can't miss pulling Faizi's leg at all, especially on this day!

As soon as Sid and Bala saw Faizi dressed up as a young and strikingly handsome groom, they both kept their palms on their mouth and were amazed by the way Faizi's face was glowing and was reflecting pure happiness and excitement. 

Sid - BalaG bro, just look at our Faizi sir...Kya lag rahe ho aap, sir!

Bala - Haanji Faizi sirji, aap to bilkul mere mele mein bichhde hue bhai lag rahe ho. Aap to chha gaye, bidu!

Karan glared angrily at Bala for again using his 'tapori' language and Bala instantly shuts his mouth. Suddenly, Nikhil comes running and hugs Faizi tightly. Faizi too wraps his arms around Nikhil's small figure and feels his 'soon to-be-son' and got tears in his eyes which were noticed by everyone except Nikhil.

Nikhil - Wow..Dodo uncle! Aap kitne handsome lag rahe ho! 

Faizi smiled and was having a flood of emotions inside his heart, that's why he was not able to say anything. Faizi's turmoil was understood by Karan & he decided to jump in between for his Saand's rescue.

Karan - Arre Nikhil, aapke dodo uncle handsome to lag rahe hain but aapse kam. Ab aap ek baar apni mumma ko dekh kar aao jakar. Vo to Dodo uncle se bhi zyada achhi lag rahi hongi!

Nikhil - Yes, pancake uncle. Main abhi jakar mendhaki ko milkar aata hoon, vo bhi to kitni sundar lag rahi hogi!

Nikhil ran out of the room leaving KarZi and SidLa behind. Karan went to Faizi and kept his hand on Faizi's shoulder. 

Karan - Saand, tu itna tension mein kyu lag rahi hai? (Faizi was about to deny) Nahi, jhoot mat boliyo!

Faizi sighed as he knew that his Janabji knows his very well and decided to spill the beans of his doubt, as he accepts his defeat.

Faizi - Karan, Sid aur Bala, ye baat aap teeno achhe se jante hain ki Abhay ne kya-kya zulm kiye hain humari Koel aur Nikhil par. Aur humara nikaah tay hone se pehle...Koel ke man mein kitne sawaal thhe...

Sid - But Faizi bro, Karan sir ne khud jakar Koel bro ko samjhaya tha ki sab log ek jaise nahi hote. Fir bhi?

Faizi - Nahi Siddharth, isme Koel ki koi galti nahi hai. Balki uske man mein hume aur iss nikaah ko lekar doubts ho, vo wajbi hai. Kyuki usne apni zindagi pehle hi bahot kuchh seh liya hai.

Bala - To Faizi sirji, ab to aap dono ke beech sab sahi hai na? Aur Koel madam bhi to iss nikaah ke liye maan gayi.

Faizi - Hum jante hain Bala ki Koel hume aur humare iss jald bandhne wale rishte ko pure dil se accept kar chuki hai. Aur hum usse puchh chuke hain aur usne hume clarity de di hai ki vo ye nikaah sirf Nikhil ke liye nahi kar rahi, balki vo bhi humse mohabbat karti hai. Magar...

Karan sighed as he got what Faizi is doubtful about.

Karan - Magar...tujhe ye doubt hai ki kya tu Koel ko vo khushiyan de paayega jo vo deserve karti hai? Kya tu use apni life ki bad memories bhulva payega? Kya tu Nikhil ke liye ek ideal daddy ban payega? Yahi sawaal hain na tere mann mein!?

Faizi's lips curved into a genuine yet small smile as his Janaabji knows him so well. Even Sid and Bala too smiled looking at KarZi's internal understanding.

Faizi - Haan Karan, yahi sawaal hain humare man mein. Aur jo sab Koel ne saha hai, usko mad-e-nazar rakhte hue to ye sab sawaal hona thode wazbi nahi hain?

Sid - Wa..wa..whatever to hain, Faizi sir. But you know na tha Koel bro loves you and even Nikhil bro loves you and has accepted you as his Dodo daddy!

Faizi - Hum jaante hain, Siddharth, magar fir bhi...

Karan - Oye Saand, apne inn ghatiya sawaalon se humari wedding vibe kill mat kar.(in a serious tone) Aur tu befikr reh...tu apne-aap ko Koel or Nikhil ke liye best bana lega! 

Bala - Aur aapne abhi bana hi liya hai, Faizi sirji!

Faizi smiled widely thanking the trio and they again got endulged in their leg pulling and teasing session, when Faizi's ammi entered the room with a thaal in her hand. She did the 'balaye lene wala step' to remove evil eyes from her son. 

Ammi - Haye! Allah buri nazrein dur rakhe tujhse Faizi...kya lag raha hai tu!

Faizi - Shukriya Ammi, lekin aap yaha?

Ammi - Hum to apni hone wali bahu ke liye ye pushtaini zevar layi thi. Lekin ye Monami kaha hai? Main uske haath bhijwane wali thi ye zevar. 

All looked at Karan with questioning gaze and he sighed deeply.

Karan (in a fed up tone) - Monami abhi bhi taiyaari hi ho rahi hai. 

All chuckled and Ammi glared all of them. 

Ammi - Ladkiyon ko taiyaar hone mein samay lag hi jata hai. Hum abhi Monami ko phone karke bula lete hain. 

Ammi called Monami and she came in Faizi's room within few minutes. As she entered, a cold breeze touched Karan's cheek and as he turned, his mind went blank upon his 'Biwi Sahiba ka deedaar'. She was looking like an angel who has just descended from the heaven and that too, only for him!

She was dolled up in a beautiful baby pink Sharara suit and wore beautiful diamond ornaments. Karan's eyes were glued on her and as she felt his gaze, she looked down in shyness and blushed hard. Everyone there were also found monami really gorgeous and averted their gaze towards Karan for his reaction. As they saw Karan staring at her shamelessly, Faizi's ammi fake coughed to bring him back to earth.

Karan realised his antics and rubbed his nape sheepishly.

Monami (trying to change the topic) - Ammi, aapne kyu bulaya tha mujhe?

Sid - Nice try to change the topic, bro!

Faizi (while looking at Karan) - Vaise aaj tum such mein Sundar pretty kanya lag rahi ho, Monami Tsunami!

Monami thanked SidZi and looked at Karan from the corner of her eye.

Ammi (while forwarding her a decorated thali full of jewellery) - Monami, ye jakar tum humari hone wali nooh (bahu) ko dedo. Ye humare pushtaini zevar hain. Koel ke pehene par inki shaan dugni ho jaegi!

Monami happily nodded and went towards Koel's room. As she entered, she found Koel lost in her own thoughts, while Sanju, Chitra & Sumanji were pinning her dupattas perfectly to her bridal sharara dress. She went inside and kept the plate of jewels on the bed, very carefully. Once while Sanju, Chitra & Sumanji were done adjusting her bridal dress & making her look more beautiful, Monami went ahead and bent to her face level making her come out of her thoughts. As Koel saw Monami, she just plastered a fake smile on her face to mask up her all insecurities. 

But Monami being Monami, smiled genuinely at her. Looking at the happiness on Monami's face, Koel's eyes brimmed tears making all the ladies worried. Sumanji came and cupped her face giving out sisterly vibes. 

Sumanji (in concerned tone) - Koel, Sumanji puchh rahi hain ki kya hua tumhe? Tum udaas kyu lag rahi ho?

Chitra came ahead and decided to express her concerns too.

Chitra - #Koel, aap iss #nikaah se #happy nahi ho kya?

Koel (with a wet voice) - Nahi nahi, aisa kuchh nahi hai! Vo to bus...

Monami - Bus kya, Koel?

Koel took a deep breath and decided to spill out all her worries, insecurities & doubts in front of the three girls. Koel stood up and went near the window staring at the clear sky. The sky which just had some white clouds looking all happy and together, but the flowing feelings inside her were the complete opposite. She inhaled deeply cursing her past and the person who was the main reason of her sadness. Monami, Sumanji & Chitra witnessed how Koel was trying to fight with her inner fears, but something was saddening her again and again. They went towards her as if they were trying to convey that they are always with her!

Monami - Batao na!

Koel - Monami, mujhe dar lag raha hai! Mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kahi mera past mere aur Faizi ke rishte ko affect kiya to? Mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kahi agar main apni wife-responsibilities dobara se nahi nibha payi to? Mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kahi main apne naye rishte ki wajeh se purane rishte ko bhool gayi to? Mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kahi ek achhi biwi banne ki chahat mein buri maa ban baithi to? Mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kahi vo Abhay firse laut kar aa gaya to?!

Monami, Sumanji & Chitra gave enough time to Koel to express what she's feeling at the moment and felt pity when she completed with her insecurities. Once she was done letting her heart out, Monami backhugged her and Sumanji and Chitra kept their hands on either side of her shoulders, providing her with some moral support. 

Monami - Koel, please shaant ho jao aur apne iss race lagate hue dil ko bhi thoda shaant karo! 

Monami turned Koel towards herself and made her face the girly trio. As Koel lifted her face up, they could see some fresh tears brimming in her eyes as she remembers what all she suffered in her past. The ladies felt very pity on her and prayed to God to never gift someone with such fate like Koel's.  

Sumanji - Koel, mante hain ki shaadi ek bahot hi badi zimmedari hoti hai, lekin jab uss nibhaane ki jagah jeeya jaaye to zindagi aur bhi khoobsurat ban jati hai! 

Chitra - #Sumanji is right, Koel! #Aap please aise #ro mat. Now you'll #live a very #happy life with #Faizi sir!

Monami (lifting her chin up) - Koel, please aisi negative baatein mat socho. Tumhare dar, tumhari insecurities normal hain but please inhe tumhari khushiyan affect mat karne do. Uss Abhay ki wajeh se tumahara, Faizi ka aur Nikhil ka rishta kabhi affect nahi hoga, I can guarantee this to you!

Sumanji - Haan Koel, Faizi sirji sirf tumse hi nahi...Nikhil se bhi bahot pyaar karte hain! 

Monami - And I know, tum apni wife-responsibilities ke beech Mendhaki wali responsibilities kabhi nahi bhulogi.

Chitra - #Nikhil bhoolne hi #nahi dega!

This brought a small smile on Koel's face and the rest chuckled.

Monami - Koel, I know tumne apne past mein bahot kuchh saha hai, jo bhulana aasan nahi hoga. But please, try to erase all those bad memories from your mind. You have to make some new ones with Faizi now!

Sumanji - Koel, ek maa apne bache ke liye har had paar kar sakti hai. Aur tum to Nikhil ke liye uss Abhay se bhi lad gayi, to tumhara ye dar kya cheez hai?! Aur jaha tak baat rahi uss Abhay ke lautne ki to vo to naumumkin hai. Karan sirji ne use kabka jail mein dalva diya hai!

Monami - Koel, life har kisi ko ek aur mauka nahi deti. But you're lucky! Life ne tumhe ek second chance diya hai, ise waste mat karo and just be happy about your coming future!

The girls exclaimed with happiness and excitement and Koel too nodded with a slight blushy face.

Chitra - #Koel, ab to aap #Faizi sir ke baare mein #socho!

Listening to Faizi's name, Koel's lips curled up into a beautiful smile and her cheeks started to heat up thinking of getting married to the love of her life. Koel's smile & blush didn't get unnoticed by the ladies and they muffled their laughter.

Suddenly out of no where, Nikhil came running and hugged his Mendhaki. Koel too wrapped her arms around her son's body and pressed him in her embrace.

Sumanji - Nikhil, tum yaha kaise?

Nikhil - Sumanji aunty, main to apni Mendhaki ko dekhne aaya hoon. Mendhaki, you are looking very beautiful! Aaj to Dodo uncle, oops...Dodo daddy tere ko dekhar flat hi jo jaenge!

Hearing Nikhil accepting Faizi as his 'Dodo daddy', Koel smiled widely with tears of happiness and again hugged Nikhil. Monami, Sumanji & Chitra stood their adoring the friendship bond between mother & son.

After a while, Monami saw the plate of jewels kept on the bed & remembered the reason why she came here. She mentally hit her forehead.

Monami - Nikhil, aapki mumma abhi fully ready nahi hain. Jao, abhi aap bahar jakar khelo!

Nikhil ran out and Koel stood confused.

Koel - Monami, main to puri tarah taiyar hoon. Ab kya baki hai?

Monami (showing the ancestral jewellery) - Ye, ye baki hai! Ammi ne ye tumhare liye bheje hain. Chalo chalo, to be devrani ji. Mere devar ke liye achhe se ready ho jao!

Koel blushed profusely and Monami laughed hard seeing her red face. Sumanji and Chitra made Koel sit patiently on the stool in front of the mirror and started placing jewelry on her beautiful body.

Monami picked up the diamond necklace and made her wear it carefully. Sumanji and Chitra picked up the rings and made them slide through her fingers of either hands. Monami then picked up the maang tika and clipped it securely on her forehead and hair. She then lovingly pressed her hair and Koel passed her a thankful smile.

Monami - Achha Sumanji, ab main chalti hoon. Aap log Koel ko time se le aana!

Chitra - #Monami, aap #kaha chale??

Monami (teasingly) - Arre bhai, main ladke wali hoon!

Saying so, she walked off the room running, leaving behind laughing Sumanji & Chitra and a Koel who hid her cherry red face in her palms. 

Both Koel & Faizi were feeling unexpressable feelings and sensation in their hearts. They were definitely very excited and happy to tie the knot & start a new phase of their life!
