That day afternoon, Along with Akshadh and his family, few of their close relatives planned to depart from Delhi to Mumbai. Siddharth arranged everything in Mumbai. Akshadh didn't even look at his wedding garments till now. Akshadh appeared to be a soul without life. He didn't talk to anyone. His maa was often finding reasons to talk to him but he was ignoring everybody totally.

At 6.15p.m they reached Mumbai and they were picked up warmly by Janu's family (her cousins). Akshadh didn't even smile at them. Then, they were taken to the booked Royal restaurant.

Akshadh and Siddharth stayed together in a room. His maa and her aunt stayed in another room. Then, others stayed individually in separate rooms.

Siddhu didn't disturb Akshadh. Akshadh was lying in the bed looking at the phone screen. It was the photo taken together with Dhiya and Allen in the orphanage. Next he scrolled down to see other photos.

It was the photo taken during their conference meeting. He was just smiling Jaw to Jaw. Dhiya on the other side looking at him.

Next he scrolled down to see the next photo that was taken recently when she visit Delhi after confessing their love for each other.

Tears started to well up his eyes but he doesn't have dare enough to reach it to his cheeks as he felt weaker by the next passing time.

Someone knocked the door and Siddhu opened the door. A makeup man came there regarding Sankeet function as he was arranged by Janu's family.

Siddharth made him to wait in the entrance of the door and then he turned aside to look Akshadh.

"Anna, Evening....., " Siddharth paused.

Akshadh lifted his gaze to look at Sidharth.

"Anna, they have arranged a Sangeet function. Get ready, within an hour we need to go, " siddharth turned immediately without seeing Akshadh as he finds hard to see his brother in this situation. Understanding the situation, Siddharth took slow steps towards the makeup man and he informed that his brother has arranged some other and he apologised for the inconvenience.

Janu's POV

After the Mehandhi function conducted in the morning, relatives started colouring the function that makes my day fantastic. I missed Dhiya a lot, she didn't came to Mehandhi function as she was very busy in hospital nowadays. I have phoned her after the Mehandhi function but she didn't pick up. Later, I got a message from her that she would join the Sangeet function.

I took rest for half an hour. My home was filled with happiness and Joy. Few of my close relatives stayed in my home. My cousins were lying next to me in the bed as they were together with me the whole day.

My phone vibrates, I think, it was from Aunt and grabbed my phone immediately. Yes! Right...

"Aunty, Did you come to airport? " I asked in curiosity.

"Yes Janu, " replied Akshadh's maa from other side.

"Okay, my cousins are there to pick you all, "

"Yes, we find them, " she replied..

"Ok aunty, " I ended the call and Jumped from my bed. I was shaking my cousins literally. They were observing me, curling their eyes.

"My groom has arrived. Let me get ready for Sangeet function, " I said cheerfully.

Few minutes later, everyone left me. The beautician came at sharp time. She helped me to wear my Lehanga perfectly. It was a golden blouse with stone patched works and Green bottom skirt with green stone patched aari work with matching pink Dupatta. I wore the Dupatta in my right side of the shoulder. Then she combed my hair, it was front puff hairstyle, then she covered my hair with flowers at the back. Later, she placed make up in my face in accordance with the colour of the dress. I loved myself when I look at the mirror.

Sometimes later, we went to the auditorium. All my family members enjoyed together with me. We posed for different photos and then the photographer captured me with different poses. I was very much happy today as I am going to see my Akshadh.

Everyone of my relatives came to the function even Dhiya's parents but Dhiya didn't reached. Her parents told that she would come as soon as possible.

I was sitting in the decorated chair. I have to tell about the beautiful decorations of the auditorium. The stage was decorated with pink decorative cloth with flowers, lights and balloons. The hanging flowers in the centre of the stage added the additional beauty. The same kind of stage decoration was arranged in opposite direction for my darling Akshadh.

In Royal Restaurant

Again someone knocked the door. Siddhu opened the door, "Maaa...." He opened his mouth widely in shock as his brother was not getting ready.

"Where is Akshadh? Why did you people cancel the Makeup order?" She asked raising her brows.

"Anna is getting ready by himself. He doesn't like the formalities that you knew already, " He tried to convince to make the situation normal.

"Everyone is ready to go. What is he doing till now? Move aside, " she pushed siddhu aside and enter inside. She was shocked to see Akshadh, who was lying in the bed holding the phone.

"Akshadhhh....." She raised her voice only Siddhu and Akshadh could hear it loudly.

"Maa, " He get up casually keeping his mobile aside.

"Did you forget about the Sangeet function? Get ready Akshadh, we are getting late, "

"Hmm, " he hummed. Then, she took his attire from the bag and gave it to him.

"Get ready within 10mins.. Our relatives are waiting, " she said worriedly.

"Hmm, "

Then, she left.

After 15mins, she again came back and she was disgusted to see Akshadh in formal dress. He doesn't wore the new dress. Then, she rolled her eyes at Siddhu who was well dressed.

"Akshadh, Are you playing? Why are you behaving insane?"

Akshadh stood nonchalantly..

"Maa, that dress was not fit so only Anna wear this dress, no problem. Let's move, " Siddhu convinced. She didn't accept but due to time shortage she ignored.

Sangeet Function

Ten minutes later, they reached the Auditorium. Akshadh was welcomed warmly by Janu's family. Akshadh occupied the seat opposite to Janu. Akshadh was about 25feet distance away from Janu.

Sound of drums, shining colours of decorative lamps and lights, colourful people makes the session beautiful.

Janu gazed Akshadh but he not even looked at her once. Janu bowed her head down often as she felt a kind of shyness when her cousins were kidding . He was searching Dhiya in between the crowded relatives. Dhiya was found nowhere.

The function was started at time. Both of their relatives get spreaded and they separated as Girls vs Boys. Then, they wrote everyone name in the piece of paper separately. Boys names together in one bowl and Girls name in another bowl. The elders picked up one paper from boy's bowl and one from girls bowl.

Janu's dad announced by opening the chit and it was Dhiya's name. Akshadh maa announced the another and it was Madhan's name.

Akshadh was shocked and he was searching for Dhiya. His heart pound faster. It was like thousands of knife stab him at once.

The crowd welcome both Dhiya and Madhan.

Dhiya who hide herself in the middle was forced by her relatives and she reached the centre of the organised platform.

Madhan from the other end got up and he took very slow steps to reach her.

The boys gang played a slow beat romantic song and everyone clapped to encourage them. Janu was eagerly waiting to see them as pair. Dhiya's family was very much happier because they have a silent wish to marry Dhiya to Madhan but neither Dhiya nor Madhan knows it. Akshadh clenched his fist and he was dying each moment. Siddhu was looking at his brother often.

Dhiya and Madhan both refused to do performance. Dhiya was looking down already tears covered her eyes fully and now this situation!!

"Don't spoil the session, Come on Dhiya. You couples are perfect, " Dhiya's relatives said in chorus.

Dhiya looked at Janu. Janu signalled to begin.

Dhiya started to wave steps according to the tune as she wish to move from the place as soon as possible and Madhan held her hand. They both meet each other and only very few distance separate them. "Dhiya, Don't worry. We knew about each other and don't worry about the unnecessary comments. I will be there for you always, don't allow your tears down, " He whispered only Dhiya could hear. Both moved their legs according to the beat. Anyhow they managed and get away from the diocese.

Akshadh was observing Dhiya and Dhiya get away from the place without notifying anyone.
Next to that, few selected pairs dance together and makes the function beautiful.

Finally, the relatives made the groom and bride together. Janu moved closed to Akshadh and Akshadh moved a step back. Again, Janu take slow steps towards him with a small smile, "You spoiled my life completely. What sin I have done to you? Don't dare to check my patience and just stand there. If you come a step close to me and I don't even know what I will do further, " He warned silently. She showed a fake smile before everyone hiding her pain. Akshadh's face clearly shows his rejection. None find it and after the function, everyone had a fantastic dinner except Akshadh and Janu. Akshadh and Janu sat opposite to each other to had their dinner but they were not happy. Janu didn't find single percent love in his eyes but still she love him to the core..she was blankly gazing at him and he never looked at her once. Akshadh can't eat a single piece of food as he missed Dhiya to the core. Dhiya and Madhan already went skipping the function.
