After a week
It was their engagement day. Everyone was busy in the preparations. The whole day Anirudh was restless and excited too. His eyes were longing to see Bondita.

Finally
In the evening
Bondita and her family arrived for the engagement. Anirudh was descending down the stairs when his eyes fell Bondita. His heart skipped a beat, he was not able to take his eyes off her. She was looking etheral.
Her look:

Anirudh's look:

Chori chori jad
Tenu takeya main...
Khud ko sambhal
Na sakeya mai...
Chad gaya sajna
Tera ye fitooor.....
Rang jaani ree...
Mar jani raa...
Kehni jo thi...
Keh de wo baat...

Hoo....
Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga.....
Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga........

Aarav noticed him and came towards him. He then whispered in his ears: Teri hi hone wali biwi hai.... itna ghoorega toh.... shaadi se pehle hi nazar lag jayegi......

Anirudh came out of his la - la land and gave an awkward smile to Aarav and said stammering: Mai... mai ghoor nahi raha tha.... mai toh.... mai toh.... sajawat.... sajawat dekh raha tha.... kitni.... acchi sajawat ki hai.... woh dekh raha tha......
Aarav smirked and uttered teasing him: Haan... haan.... woh toh hai.... bohot khoobsurat lag rahi hai.....

Anirudh looked at Bondita and uttered staring her: Bohot khoobsurat......
Aarav then uttered looking at him: Sajawat.... Anirudh looked at him and immediately uttered nervously: Haan... haan.... sajawat.... bohot acchi lag rahi hai......and immediately went away before Aarav could say anything. Aarav silently laughed and shook his head.

After sometime,
The engagement ceremony was about to start. Jahnavi announced: Chaliye ab sagai ki rasam shuru karte hain....
Pinky told Samaira: Samaira.... beta engagement ki rings le aao.....
Mere bina ye sagai kaise ho rahi hai.... A voice came from the door. Everyone turned around to see whose voice it is. There stood a girl with a suitcase.

Anirudh and the Sethi Family smiled widely seeing her while the others were confused. Jahanavi happily exclaimed: Simmii!!
She ran to her and hugged her tightly while she too hugged her back happily. Jahanavi broke the hug and asked: Simmi.... tu yahan.... aise.... achanak..... kaise.... aur tune bataya kyun nahi..... ki tu aa rahi hai.... wo sab chod..... ye bata.... kaisi hai tu..... khati peeti hai ya nahi..... dekh toh kaisi kamzor ho gayi hai..... aur.....
Simmi then interrupted her: Are... Are.... shant mumma..... itne sawaal ek saath..... aate hi sawaalo ka pahad gira diya mujhpe.....  aur.... aap itne sawaal kar rahe ho.... poochna toh mujhe chahiye..... aaplogo ne ek baar bhi mujhe batana zaroori nahi samjha... ki mere bhai ki shaadi hai..... mere bina hi shaadi karwa rahe the aap sab bhai ki..... agar kal meri baat Ishi Di se na hoti toh mujhe toh pata hi nahi chalta..... this is not fair..... mere bhai ki shaadi hai aur mujhe hi nahi pata..... mai kuch din ke liye U.S kya gayi aap sab toh mujhe bhool hi gaye.....

Anirudh Aarav and Rudra then came towards her and hugged her and  Anirudh said:  We Missed you so much Choti.....
She pushed him and said: Aap toh rehne hi do..... baki sab ne nahi bataya..... par aapne bhi nahi bataya.... mujhe aapse ye ummeed nahi thi.....
Aarav then said: Accha baba sorry..... kaan pakadte hain hum sab..... Rudra and Anirudh too held their ears making a puppy face. She looked at them for a second and then said: Theek hai maaf kiya.... They smiled and left their ears. The trio hugged her and she too smiled and hugged them back.

Jagveer Binoy Pinky Samaira and Mehek too came and hugged her. Simmi then said: Are... koi mujhe meri hone wali bhabhi se milwayega....
Mehek then said happily: Are haan haan.... zaroor.... aao.... Bondita se milwati hu tumhe.... 

They went towards Bondita and Mehek was about to introduce her but Simmi interrupted her: Wait Bhabhi..... mai mera introduction khud dungi..... She then looked at Bondita and forwarding her hand said: Hii.... I am Simran... Aapki hone wali nanad....
Bondita smiled and shook hands and said: Hii! Mai Bondita....
Jahanavi then said: Are Bhai... Muhurat nikla jaa raha hai.... Jaldi se sagai ki rasam shuru karo....
Pinky too said agreeing with her: Haan.... haan.... Samaira.... jao beta.... jaldi se rings le aao...
Samaira nodded and brought the rings.

Bondita uttered in her mind: Hey Matarani.... iss baar hum ungli kaantna hi bhool gaye..... har ungli kaat ke... seedhe haath me pehente the..... par iss baar.... ab kya kare.....

Jahanavi then gave the ring to Bondita. She took the ring and made Anirudh wear the ring.  Ansh too noticed that Bondita has not cut her finger and uttered in his mind: Oh no!! Iss baar toh didi ungli kaati hi nahi..... matlab iss baar sach me sagai ho jayegi.....
He then slowly whispered to Suman: Amma... kuch karo...... warna sach me sagai ho jayegi Didi ki....
Suman then said casually: Ho jane de na..... sagai hi hogi na..... shaadi thodi.... chup kar ke khade reh.....
Ansh looked again at Bondita and Anirudh tensely.

Pinky then said to Bondita: Chalo Anirudh.... ab tum pehnao angoothi.... Bondita ko....
Anirudh nodded slowly held Bondita's hand and made her wear the ring. Everyone clapped.

Jahanavi then said: Suman ji.... mai ye keh rahi thi ki... humare yahan ka riwaaz hai.... shaadi se pehle... hone wala joda... kuldevi ke mandir.... aashirwaad lene jate hain.... toh mai chahti hu ki.... Anirudh aur Bondita bhi kal.... jaa kar kuldevi ke darshan kar le....
Suman then uttered in her mind: Kitni nautanki hai ye family....
She then fake smiled and uttered: Ji ji.... kyun nahi....

Dadi then said: Toh phir tay raha.... kal Anirudh aur Bondita kuldevi ke mandir jayenge darshan ke liye.....  Anirudh.... kal tu Bondita ke saath mandir jayega..... mai pandit ji se baat kar lungi..... wo tum dono ko sab samjha denge.....
Anirudh and Bondita nodded.

Rudra then came on the stage with the mic: Attention!! Attention!! Attention!! So.... now engagement toh ho gayi toh..... it's time for celebration..... aur celebration toh dance ke bina adhoora hai...... so let's gooo!!!...

Simran started dancing around Ansh while singing

Aaj hai sagai
Sun ladki ke bhai
Aaj hai sagai
Sun ladki ke bhai

She slapped his shoulder playfully

Zara nach ke humko dikhaa

She teased him pushing him lightly singing

Kudi ki tarah na sharmaa
Kudi tarah na sharmaa

She held his hand and danced moving around singing

Tu meri gall maan jaa
Tu meri gall maan jaa

Ansh removed his hand from her hold and started dancing looking at Simran while singing

Sab ko nachau
Nach nach ke dikhaun

He folded his hands in front of his chest

Aa mujhko gale se laga

He walked towards her while dancing and singing

Sab ko nachau
Nach nach ke dikhau
Aa mujhko gale se lagaa

Simran turned to walk away but he held her hand and pulled her closer singing

Munde se zara aankh ladaa
Munde se zara aankh ladaaa

He started dancing around her singing

Tu meri gall maan jaaa
Tu meri gall maan jaaa
Tu meri gall maan jaaa
Tu meri gall maan jaaa
O soniyeee......

She then ran from the stage and Ansh too left the stage.

Rudra then came on the stage with the mic: Woww!!! What a performance!.... toh ab baari aati hai..... Iss celebration ki shaan yani ki.... hone wale Dulha Dulhan ki ek pyaari si performance ki..... Please give them a big hand.....

Anirudh and Bondita hesitated to dance but Samaira and Rudra took them to the stage.

Music.....

Bondita was standing on the stage. Anirudh came on the stage slowly walking towards her. She too turned her face to look at him.

He stood close to her and traced the back of his fingers lightly on her cheeks singing...

Dekha Hazaaron Dafa Aapko

He then held and twirled her twice before taking her in a back hug singing....

Phir Bekarari Kaisi Hai

He then let her go and kept his hand on his heart looking at her and sang...

Sambhale Sambhalta Nahi Ye Dil

He then walked towards her and stood  and held her chin singing...

Kuch Aap Me Baat Aisi Hai

And she turned her face blushing, he smiled.

She then kept her hand on his chest and and they moved in a circle looking into each other's eyes as she sang.

Lekar ijazat ab aapse

Her hands slowly travelled down his arms and held his hands and she moved back holding his hands and he again pulled her towards himself as she sang

Saasein yeh aati jati hain

Their hands met and they enterwined their fingers and they moved their hands in circular motion from front of their face and and moved it outside as she sang

Dhoondhe se milte nahi hai hum

He picked her up in his arms and started rotating slowly and unknowingly she touched his forehead with hers as she sang

Bas aap hi aap baaki Hain

They were lost in each other's gaze. They both specially Anirudh didn't wanted the moment to ever end.

But their moment was disturbed by Rudra's  whistle and the claps. They both unknowingly blushed as he made Bondita stand on her feet.

They came down and Biji took their evil eyes off and said: Nazar na Lage.... kitne pyaare lag rahe the dono.... humesha aise saath raho... aur khush raho....

Anirudh smiled and looked at Bondita and she too forced a smile.

Next morning
Anirudh came to Bondita's house to pick her up as they had to go to the temple. Suman opened the door and he came inside. She then said: Damad ji.... wo bondita so rahi hai... mai abhi use jagati hu....

They both went to her room and her room was all messed up. Suman then uttered looking at him: Wo... kal raat ko iski aur Ansh ki ladai ho gayi thi... Anirudh chuckled.

Suman went towards Bondita and tried to wake her up: Bondita.... uth... subah ho gayi hai.....
She irritatedly uttered still sleeping: Sone do na hume..... chain se sone bhi nahi deti... pagal kahi ki....

Anirudh didn't listen anything as he standing a little away from her.
Suman uttered in her mind: Marwayegi aaj ye ladki uthana padega ise jaldi.....
She then with a forced smile uttered: Bondita.... uth ja dekh.. damad ji aaye hai....
She just hummed in response but then realised what she said and sat up straight with wide eyes and saw Anirudh standing with a smile.

Anirudh then said controlling his smile: Woh.... aaj mandir jana hai na hume... yaad hai na.....
She nervously uttered: Ha... Haan.. haan... woh yaad hai.... yaad hai hume.... aap bahar wait kijiye... hum bas abhi aaye... taiyyar ho kar....
He nodded and left.

Bondita took a deep breath and looked at Suman and uttered: Bata nahi sakti thi.... ye yahan hai.... wo toh accha.... kuch suna nahi.... warna Aaj humari maut tay thi....
Suman then said: Humne toh bola tha na.... ab tune suna nahi toh humari kya galti.... agli baar dhyaan rakhna..... agar kuch gadbad hui na.... toh hum sab ki gardan kat jayegi.... and she left.
Bondita then went to get ready.

They sat in the car and started driving towards the temple.
He said to Bondita while driving: Tum agar bore ho rahi ho toh radio chala sakti ho...
She looked at him and then nodded. She switched on the radio

𝑨𝒂𝒋 𝒌𝒊 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒔... 𝑶𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒓 𝒏𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒂 𝒌𝒊𝒚𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒊 𝒌𝒊.... 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊 𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔𝒊 𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒊... 𝒂𝒖𝒓 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒊 𝒈𝒉𝒂𝒓 𝒌𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒂𝒉𝒊 𝒉𝒂𝒊....𝒑𝒂𝒓 𝒂𝒃 𝒕𝒂𝒌 𝒚𝒆𝒉 𝒏𝒂𝒉𝒊 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒊 𝒌𝒊 𝒘𝒐𝒉 𝒃𝒂𝒅𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒃 𝒌𝒂𝒖𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒊 

Bondita gulped and switched off the radio. Anirudh in rage uttered: Whatt!!! Wo isi sheher me hai.... par kisko loot rahi hai ab.... jo bhi ho.... use toh mai dhoondh ke rahunga....

Bondita gulped and uttered nervously: Aap...aap apna mood mat kharab kijiye na... dekhiye na kitna accha mausam hai.... aur hum mandir ja rahe hai.... toh please shant ho jaiye na....
Anirudh nodded and focused on driving.

Bondita looked out of the window and uttered in her mind nervously: Ye toh looteri dulhan ke peeche haath dhokar pad gaye hai... aise toh inhe humara sach pata chalne me der nahi lagegi..... jo bhi karna hai ab jaldi karna padega.....

Anirudh too uttered in his mind: Uss looteri dulhan ko toh ab mai pakad kar hi rahunga.... bohot loot liya usne logo ko.... ab uske salakhon ke peeche jane ka waqt aagaya hai...
