I dedicate this chapter to

InsaneSoul08 who gave jodi names to Manav-Gaadha and Dev-Jhanvi as

Gaadhav and JaDev.

The engagement day....
Manav was bowled over by Gaadha's beauty.She blushed.
He kept looking at her.
G:Manav,you have seen me in this dress before.Then why are you staring at me like this?
M:Today is a special day.So though I have seen you before in this dress you look special today.
G:Special means?
M:Special means more beautiful than ever before.I knew that you will be beautiful today.But your beauty is beyond my expectation.
She blushed.He enjoyed watching her blush.

M:How do I look?

G:Perfect!

Manav became happy.

Dev and Jhanvi came.
D:Hey Manav....meet....
Gaadha completed the sentence:This is our family friend Jhanvi.
That time only Dev remembered his promise to Gaadha that he won't tell Manav about his engagement with Jhanvi.
M:Jhanvi?I have never heard about her before.Anyways nice to meet you.
J:Namaste.
Suddenly Manav was pulled away by his friends.
Gaadha yelled at Dev:Dev,you forgot your promise that you won't break the suspense?
Dev smiled:Sorry my best friend.I will not disclose it to Manav.

J:I can't understand anything.What's going on?
G:I want Manav to get surprised when you both exchange rings along with us.
J:That's nice.
She smiled.

Natasha was present there with her husband Kairav.

N:Guys...tell us your take on love...marriage....

Gaadha:For me,love is trust.If there is no trust no point in marriage.Nothing should be hidden from the life partner....truth should be always told.

Her words pricked Manav's heart.

Kairav:You are right.Trust is the main thing in every relationship.Trust makes a relationship beautiful and strong.

Natasha:Just like our relationship.

Manav felt so guilty that he just walked away.

N:Where is Manav?

Gaadha looked around.

N:He just disappeared before telling his concept about love and marriage.

G:Where is Manav?

Indira:It's time for the ring exchange.Call Manav.

.....

Manav cried alone in a room.

M:If love is trust then i broke your trust in me Gaadha.I hid a big truth from you.I can't cheat you anymore.If I hide the truth and make you mine my love will have no value.

....

Indira:Gaadha....how can Manav be so irresponsible?Where did he go at the time of ring exchange?

Gaadha was upset.She did not know what to say.

Manav reached:I am here.

Gaadha was relieved.

I:Ok....let the rings be exchanged.

M:No.This ring exchange should not happen.

Everyone was shocked.

G:Manav....what are you saying?It's not the time for your pranks.

M:Gaadha...I am serious.I can't....

Gaadha was shattered.

G:Why Manav?Tell me?

M:Because you love someone else.

Everybody including Gaadha was shocked.
