Sameer move forward with Munna Pandit but looking back at the place from where Riddhima left.

He smile closing his eyes as she was looking beautiful and he lost his mind by her look, maybe because of environment of marriage or due to his increasing love for her, he was getting pulled towards Naina every passing day.

"Bhai, wo uncleji tujhe bula rahe the" Munna tapped his shoulder and Sameer came out of his dreamland.

"Kaun?" he asked.

"Wo jo samne khade hain" Pandit showed him.

"Arey beta, tum hi Sameer Maheshwari ho?" he himself came towards him.

"Ji mai hi hu, Namaste, lekin maine pehchana nhi apko" Sameer said.

"Arey beta, tum kaise pehchanoge, kitne time baad dekh rahe ho mujhe, pahle mai hamesha tumhare ghar jata tha jab tum chote the to lekin ab kaam me waqt hi nhi milta" he said and Sameer smiled.

"Ji" He said feeling uncomfortable.

"To beta, abhi padh rahe ho?" that uncle asked.

"Ji ha" Sameer replied.

"Achha, meri nazar me ek ladki hai shadi k liye agar tum chaho to, bahut sundar aur achhe ghar se h,,,,," Uncle ji start and Sameer rolled his eyes.

"Uncle ji, abhi to mera school chal raha aur itni jaldi kaun shadi ki baat karta hai" he replied.

"Ha beta, to kaun sa abhi shadi ki baat kar rahe hain ham to bas,,," Uncle start again.

"Sorry Uncle, mujhe in sab me koi interest hai. Aap koi aur ladka dekhiye us ladki k liye, thanku so much" Sameer faked a smile and move away with Munna Pandit.

"Yaar sab hath dho k meri shadi karwane k chakkar me kyu pad gaye hain" Sameer was angry now.

"Arey chhod na, kaun sa unke kahne se teri shadi ho jayegi" Munna said.

"Fir v yar, had hai" Sameer said being angry.

"Chal bhai Baraatiyo ko bula rahe hain" Pandit said.

"Are Sameer beta, aao idhar tumlog waha kya kar rahe ho" Anandji called them.

"Ji Chachaji, aa raha hu" Sameer smiled moving towards him.

"Arey beta, pahle achhe se swaagat to kara lo" Groom's father said and he smiled.

"Chalo bhai, ye hamare special mehman hain" Groom's mother said and Preeti Swati smiled.

Sameer was searching Naina but Taiji asked her to be with Ruta.

"Ha bilkul" Bride's mother smiled and they put small garlands to welcome baraatis.

"Bhai bada swaagat ho raha hai" Munna murmured.

"Tu chup rahega" Sameer murmured.

"Pandat, bada achhe se sabka swagat kar raha hai" Munna said as they enter inside standing beside Swati.

"Kyu tumhe swaagat pasand nhi aaya ho to thappad se v kar sakte hain" Swati said with a smile.

"N,,,Na,,,Na,,, ham kyu thappad khane lage, kya Pandat tu v kaise bolta hai" Munna said and Swati Preeti smiled on his action.

"Ha wahi to, khane k liye to kitni sari cheeje hain shadi me to thappad kyu" Munna said and they beat their forehead on their foodie friend.

"Pandit, tujhe ham khane k stall pe baitha dete hain" Sameer said.

"Aap log baraati hain na, lijiye thanda pijiye" one girl came and smiled so sweetly looking towards Sameer.

"Arey waah! Ye hui na baat" Munna Pandit took bottles and Sameer remain silent looking towards the gate.

"Aap v lijiye na" she insisted.

"Nhi, mujhe nhi lena" sameer said moving away.

"Ise kisi aur ko dekhna hai" Swati murmured in Preeti's ear and they giggled.

Saanson Ki Zaroorat Hai Jaise
Saanson Ki Zaroorat Hai Jaise
Zindagi Ke Liye...Zindagi Ke Liye
Bas Ek Sanam Chahiye Aashiqui Ke Liye...

"Kya hua?" that girl asked.

"Kuch nhi, wo abhi nhi lenge kuch, tum thodi der baad puch lena" Preeti said with a fake smile and she nodded.

"Kya baat hai Pandat, bada has raha hai tu, hame v bata de" Munna said looking towards Pandit but tilting towards Swati.

"Mai kaha kuch,,,,," Pandit said then shake his head getting his meaning.

"Tumse matlab, jao jake shadi attend karo" Swati said moving away from them.

"Arey lekin tumlog kaha ja rahe ho?" Pandit asked.

"Wo kya hai na, tumlog baraati aur ham gharwale to jyada der tak tumhare sath nhi rah sakte, aur kisi ne dekh liya to bolna shuru kar denge" Preeti said and left.

"Ye v sahi hai yaar, ham to ladkewale hain" Pandit said.

"Ye dono wapas v nhi aa rahi hain jaldi" Naina said waiting for Swati and Preeti.

"Kya hua Naina?" Ruta asked.

"Kuch nhi, ye log kitna late kar rahe hain" Naina said.

"Tumhe v baraat dekhne jana hai kya" Ruta asked.

"Ha lekin Taiji yaha pe baitha k chali gai hain, ab agar bahar gai to v bolengi" Naina said.

"Koi baat nhi, tum jao aur kisi aur ko bhej dena" Ruta said and she look towards her being happy.

"Sachhi" she asked.

"Ha bilkul, aur waise abhi thodi der me to neeche hi chalna hai" Ruta said.

"Thanku Rutaben, mai abhi bhejti hu kisi ko" Naina said running down.

"Pagal, kitni excited hai" Ruta murmured smiling.

Sameer was standing fixing his gaze at gate when he feels Naina was coming. He stood beside the pillar looking towards the entrance with a smile and saw Naina coming down from stairs that too running towards him.

Dhire dhire se meri jindagi me aana
Dhire dhire se mere dil ko churana
Tum se pyar hame kitna hai jan-e-jana
Tumse milkar tumko hai batana...

He smiled fully and stood keeping his both hands over his chest and she stop few meters away from him controlling her heart beat which was raised due to running.

A beautiful smile adore her face when she again saw Sameer, she knew he was waiting for her and stood there being lost in him.

Sameer smile on her eagerness and winked looking at her which make her blush. She looks down and tried to come towards him when a girl came near her.

"Naina, mai abhi aati hu tab tak ye pakad lo please"she gave her the tray and went away.

"Arey lekin" Naina said but she vanished.

Sameer smile coming towards her and she looks here and there confirming if someone was watching them or not but thankfully everyone was busy in marriage.

"Kya hua" Sameer asked as he reached near her.

"Kuch nhi" she smiled.

"Naina, mai tumhare liye kuch laya hu" Sameer said.

"Yaha?" She asked being confused and surprised.

"Ha" he replied.

"Sameer, mai abhi tumse kuch nhi le sakti kisi ne dekh liya to,,,," Naina was becoming worried.

Sameer smile on her innocence and put a small box on the tray saying "Wo mujhe nhi pata".

"Sameer tum,,,," Naina was about to say something when Bela Chachi called her coming towards her.

Naina hurriedly hold the box behind in her hand saying "J,,,Ji Chachiji"

"Bhagwaaan jhoot na bulaye beta tum yaha pe,,,,," She was about to say something when stopped looking towards Sameer.

"Arey Sameer beta tum"

"Namaste Chachiji" Sameer said.

"Khush raho beta, tum yaha pe" She asked and Sameer explained the same answer.

"Mai to udhar ja raha tha baraatiyo k paas, tab tak Naina k hath me mithai ki tray dekhi to chala aaya" Sameer said picking up the sweet.

"Bahut achha kiya" Chachiji smiled.

"Ghar pe sab kai,,,,," Chachiji was asking when Naina interrupted her.

"Chachiji mai abhi aati hu" and she left hurriedly while Chachiji get busy in talking.

Naina went inside and put the tray somewhere then run to search Preeti and Swati. They were busy talking with some girls and she also stand with them.

Soon they left and Preeti turn towards her "Kya batane k liye kab se uchal rahi hai"

"Sameer mere liye kuch laya hai" she showed the box to them.

"Sachhi" they become excited.

"Dikha na kya hai?" Swati asked.

"Hawa aane de" Naina turn away.

"Are Naina, kyu ban rahi hai itna bata to de" Preeti asked.

"Are yaha kisi ne dekh liye to" Naina said.

"Achha koi baat nhi ham dekhte hain ki koi aaye na tab tak tu box khol" Swati said.

"Ha ye theek rahega" Preeti said.

Swati Preeti become her bodyguard and she open the box swiftly then smile fully.

Pyaar ka tohafa
Tera bana hai jeevan mera
Pyaar ka tohafa
Tera bana hai jeevan mera
Dil ke sahaare maine pa lie
Jeene ko aur kya chaahie

"Preeti Swati, ye dekho" Naina said and they turn towards her.

It was a beautiful earing set "Woww, ye to bahut sundar hai" both said together.

"Hai na" Naina smiled.

"Lekin mai ise rakhu kaha" Naina become tensed.

"Tu ise pehan le" Swati said.

"Kya? Par maine ek pahna hua hai" Naina said.

"Arey meri behna, Pyari Naina, tune jo pehna hai wo chhota hai use mai aaram se Mummy k bag me daal sakti hu, unhe pata v nhi chalega aur tu ye wala pehan le, Jijaji v khush ho jayenge" Preeti said and Naina agreed.

She swiftly changed the earrings and smile remembering Sameer.

"Sameer k khayalo me baad me khona, pahle ise rakh k aate hain" Swati said and she nodded.

They were about to keep the earing in Bela's bag when Taiji came at the peak time.

"O Bai, kya kar rahe ho tumlog" Taiji asked.

Socha tha kya kya ho gaya kya ho gaya
Dhundho mujhe main kahi kho gaya
Main bhi kahi kho gayi
Chhutti ho gayi chhutti ho gayi
Are gadbad ho gayi are siti baj gayi
Are gadbad ho gayi are siti baj gayi..

"K,,,kuch nhi Taiji" they replied.

"Wo to mujhe dikh hi raha hai" she snatched away the bag from Preeti and Bela Chachi also came.

"Bhagwaan jhoot na bulaye Bhabhiji, kya ho gaya?" she asked.

"Dekho apni ladkiyo ko aur pucho bag me kya kar rahi thi" Taiji said.

"Naina, Preeti kya hai ye sab?" Chachiji asked.

"Mummy ham to bas ye earing rakhne aaye the" Preeti said.

"Bhabhiji, bachhe bas kaan ka jhumka rakh rahe the, aap v jhoote hi gussa ho rahi hain" Bela Chachi said and Naina Preeti Swati relaxed..

"O Bai, ye jhumka rakh rahe hain lekin Naina ne to pahna hua hai" Taiji's eyes were too sharp which make their face tensed.

"Naina beta, tu to ye jhumka pahan k aayi thi fir abhi kaise,,,,,," Chachiji was saying and Naina rubbed her hand being tensed as she don't know what to say.

"Mummy wo,,,," Preeti was also become silent.

"Arey Chachiji, wo mai lai thi Naina k liye lekin bhool gai thi dena aur abhi yaad aaya ki ye jhumka iske upar jyada achha lagega isliye maine bola ki change kar le, ham bas wahi rakhne aaye the ki kahi idhar udhar na rah jaye" Swati said.

"Achha kiya, Bhabhiji aap v jhoote hi pareshan ho jati hain" Bela Chachi said but Taiji was still suspicious towards them.

Preeti read her expressions and start fighting with Naina Swati to deviate their mind from that.

"Tum na bas Naina k liye hi laya karo, tumahri dost to bas wahi hai mere liye kyu laogi, mai kaun hu" Preeti said winking at Swati.

"Arey ek mila to le liya maine, dusra tumhare liye le aaungi, chilla kyu rahi hai" Swati said.

"O Bai, chup ho jao tumlog aur jao dulhan ko leke aao, faltu kaamo me dimaag uljha diya neeche dulha aa gaya hai" Taiji said and they swiftly ran away giving old earing to Chachiji.

"Jaan bachi" they said keeping their hand on heart as it was still racing fast coz of moment they face few seconds back.

"Thanku Swati" Naina hugged her and she smiled patting her back.

"Ha jaise maine to kuch kiya hi nhi, jhoota jhagda nhi karti to abhi tak wahi rahte Taiji k sawaalo ka samna karte hue" Preeti said and Naina smiled.

They shared a group hug and then they prasied Naina as earing was looking so beautiful on her, she smile remembering Sameer.

Bane chaahe dushman zamana hamara
Salamat rahe dostana hamara
Bane chaahe dushman zamana hamara
Salamat rahe dostana hamara
Salamat rahe dostana hamara
Bane chaahe dushman zamana hamara
Salamat rahe dostana hamara...

"Chale ab Rutaben ko neeche leke jana hai" Naina said.

"Aap log ko mummy bula rahi hai" Ruta's sister came to take them.

"Ji Aunty" Naina asked.

"Beta tumlog isko leke neeche chalo, yaha pe varmala hai aur ye aarti ki thali leke chal rahi hai" Ruta's mother said indicating towards Ruta's younger sister.

"Ji theek hai" Swati replied.

"Chale, apka Dulha neeche intezaar kar raha hai" Preeti said to Rutaben looking towards Naina and she shake her head knowing very well that she was teasing her.

"Ha aur wo v bahut der se" Swati too joined Preeti.

"Chaliye Rutaben" Naina make her stand up.

Girls corrected her dress and jwelleries then help her to walk forward, soon she manage to walk by herself and Naina Preeti hold Varmala on plates while Swati hold rose petals while Ruta's sister was holding aarti tray.

Soon they start coming down with Dulhan, being in focus by so many peoples.

Naina's eyes were searching Sameer she wanted him to show that she wear those earing but he was not showing up.

He was talking with someone when felt his speeding heart beat indicates that Naina was nearby, he smile and turn around.

His eyes were fixed on Naina who was moving towards the stage with Dulhan while searching him all the way.

Preeti saw him and slowly nudged Naina indicating towards Sameer so that no one notice this.

Naina saw him and smile, she slowly put her hair strands behind her ear showing up the earing and Sameer smile fully.

Tere liye ha tere liye
Ha tere liye ha tere liye
Aayi hoon main layi hoon main
Aayi hoon main layi hoon main
Aankho mein tohfa pyar ka...

He bought that earing while coming in baraat, he what not sure whether Naina will like it or not because he was not aware of girlish things yet but his eyes caught attention on this one and he get it for Naina.

Naina was wearing that jhumka which was really looking nice on her and he smile that she manage to wear it instantly.

He slowly kept his hand away showing a beautiful sign and smiled which make Naina to smile broadly.

They were about to reach on stage when Munna Pandit dragged him with Dulha on stage.

"Chaliye Dulhe miya, apki Dulhaniya aa gai" Munna said and he smiled.

"Ha bhai, jaldi chaliye warna ladkiya pahle pahuch jayengi" Pandit said and Sameer shake his head.

"Ha beta, jao jao" Groom's father said and they get up.

Soon they reached on stage.

Swati, Preeti was smiling looking towards Sameer while Naina was just stealing glances so that no one notice them.

"Naina, mere mann me aa raha hai tera aur Jijaji ki varmala rasm v yahi ho jaye" Preeti murmured in her ear.

Naina's cheek change colour then she controlled herself and scold Preeti slowly "Chup rahegi tu"

"Ha kyu nhi" Preeti smiled.

"Chaliye Rutaben varmala pahnaiye" Naina said and she smiled looking towards Sanjay while Naina and Sameer lost in each other.

meri dur se aayi barat, maiya mai to, paunni
meri dur se aayi barat, maiya mai to, paunni
balma chail chabila mann ko mohe, balma
joda rang rangila, tan pe sohe balma
balma chail chabila mann ko mohe
pada pau yeh kiska angan me
khile phul se mere tan mann me
chuta maike ki galiyo kaa sath, maiya mai to, paunni..
meri dur se aayi barat, maiya mai to, paunni...

Soon they start the function where Ruta's sister perform aarti then she gave Varmala to Ruta and Preeti move towards Sanjay to give Varmala.

"Jijai varmala apki Dulhan k liye" Preeti said giving that to Sameer and he look towards her being shocked while Groom also look towards them.

Naina was shocked on her act and look here and there what if anyone else would hear it, she hold Swati's hand tightly closing her eyes.

"Abey, kya kar rahi hai ye" Pandit murmured.

"Sorry Jijaji, mera hath aap tak nhi pahuch raha tha isliye inko diya" Preeti said and Sameer relaxed closing his eyes then glare Preeti who smiled fully and he also smiled that she was teasing him as they do with Naina.

"Jaan bachi" Pandit said.

"Ye chota Sipahi to heart attack dene wala tha" Pandit said.

"Munna Pandit chup raho" Sameer said and gave varmala to Sanjay "Chaliye Varmal ki rasm puri kariye"

"Pahle ladki pehnayegi" Munna said.

Ruta was about to put garland when Munna and one other cousin of Sanjay hold him up.

"Arey ye to cheating hai" Swati said.

"Koi cheating nhi hai, Pandat tu kyu dar raha hai tere liye thodi na hai" Munna said.

Everyone thought he was indicating to Pandit but only these six knows it was for Swati and smiled.

"Ye Munna na pitega mere haatho" Swati murmured.

"Abhi usko chhod" Preeti said.

"Munna tere Papa v aaye hain kya?" Swati asked.

"Nhi to" he replied.

"To wo peeche kaun tujhe ghoor raha hai?" she said.

Munna turn towards back side alongwith Sameer and Pandit and Groom came a little down as his hold was light while Naina asked Rutaben to put garland.

Before Munna Pandit and Sameer could understand Swati's prank Rutaben put varmala in Sanjay's neck.

"Munna, Pandit" Naina called them.

"Ha" they turn around as everyone was clapping and look towards Sanjay.

"Arey yar, ladkiyo ne bewakuf banaya" Pandit said.

"Sach me Pandit banane ki jarurat hai kya?" Preeti said and Pandit didn't understand the meaning and looks away as they lost to girls.

"Koi baat nhi, Abhi to bahut sari rasmein baki hain" Sameer said keeping his hand over Pandit's shoulder and they smiled.

"Dekhenge" Naina said with a smile.

"Shauk se" Sameer too smile.

le gaye dil ko lut ke tere bol rasile
ghayal kar gaye hay, ghayal kar gaye jaan ko,

tere nain katile
mai toh wari jau bali hari jau
jab mukhada dekho darpan me,

tere surat ubhare naina me
bhali lage naa naihar ki bat,

maiya mai to, paunni
meri dur se aayi barat maiya mai to paunni..

Naina looks away as his gaze was fixed on her only and she galre him to look away, but Sameer is Sameer how could he do that.

"Chaliye Jijaji, ab apki bari" Preeti said.

"Sach me" Sameer and Sanjay said together and they smiled on his eagerness.

"Matlab, sach me Sanjay ki bari hai, chaliye ab" Sameer said as he always feels that every Jijaji word from Preeti and Swati is for him only thus he didn't thought while asking.

Sanjay was about to put varamala when Arjun and one cousin of Ruta held her up.

"Yaar ye tera sala har jagah kyu aa jata hai" Munna said.

Sanjay thought it was for Ruta's cousin thus said "Har jagah ka nhi pata lekin yaha kyu aaya ab mai kya karu"

Munna look towards him as he was saying about Arjun to Sameer but getting Sanjay's word he nodded saying "Koi baat nhi ham kuch karte hain"

"Sameer bhai ek hi rasta hai ab" Pandit said.

"Kya?" Munna Pandit asked.

"Kya hua, ladke wale haar gaye kya?" Swati asked.

"Pandat aisa kabhi nhi hoga" Munna said.

"Yaar tu har baar mera naam kyu bolta rahta hai" Pandit said.

"Tu wo sab chhod idea bata" Sameer said and Pandit said something.

"Kya baat hai" Sameer hugged him.

"Aap ready ho varmala k sath?" Sameer asked.

"Ha lekin kyu?" Sanjay asked.

"Abhi pata chal jayega" Munna said looking towards Sameer.

They hinted something and took Sanjay up, before anyone could understand what happened suddenly, Sameer asked Sanjay to put varmala and he did that rapidly while Ruta smile on their masti and that way to put varmala.

Naina, Swati and Preeti stood open their mouth in 'O' shape alongwith Ruta's sister while Arjun and her cousin put Ruta back on ground smiling on whatever happened and Sameer winked at Naina.

"Chalo bhai varmala to ho gai" Sanjay's father said.

"Ha bachho ne kafi enjoy kiya" Chachaji said and he nodded.
