[Everyone who guessed it was Disha were right. 😁😁
Pranbirforever and @KiniShabi asked me to update today, so here goes the update.]

"Why are you both teasing them so much? Hmmm?"

Everyone whirled around to see Disha standing there with a sweet smile playing on her lips. 

"Masi!" Prachi exclaimed happily.

Disha walked towards her and hugged her. As they broke apart, Disha cupped Prachi's cheeks kissed her forehead. Her eyes were slightly moist.

"May God bless you with all the happiness and love that you deserve and may the love and trust of your life partner smoothen out every rocky path, every harsh journey in your new life." Disha blessed Prachi, with a smile and with eyes slightly moist.

"Thank you, Masi. And also thank you for coming." Prachi smiled, her own eyes weren't dry.

"How could I not have come? After all today is such an important day in my beloved niece's life." Disha smiled.

"And that's why you have come so late, like a guest and that too after the engagement." Pragya rebuked lightly the woman who was no less than a sister to her despite not sharing any blood relation with her.

"Sorry, di. I was stuck in the traffic. Otherwise I would have come just on time. Sorry. Forgive me?" Disha apologized sweetly.

"Fine, I am forgiving you this time. But don't be late for the next functions, okay?" Pragya instructed Disha with all the sternness of an elder sister.

"I won't be, di. I promise." Disha grinned.

While Prachi, Ranbir and the others were enjoying the adorable banter between sisters and beaming happily at the endearing bond they shared, Aryan turned to look at his father. Purab was smiling as he kept looking at Disha but there was a tinge of sadness in that smile, reflecting his loss. That desolation in his father's eyes and his smile fortified

Abhishek side hugged Disha. She was more of a younger sister to him than Aliya could ever be.

"Disha, have you come alone? Where is Sunny? Hasn't he come?" Abhishek looked around and then at Disha questioningly.

For a fleeting moment, a dark cloud flitted across Disha's visage. However, soon her face cleared again and she composed herself.

"Actually, being a neurosurgeon, he is always busy in one surgery or another. He has 3 surgeries scheduled in US. So, he can come only on the wedding day. He will be coming back late at the night before the wedding." Disha smiled.

Aryan noticed the flicker of hope in a father's eye to meet his son after so many years dwindle into hopelessness again at the news imparted by Disha. However, there was pride in Purab's eyes as he came to know about his son's achievements.

"Come everyone, let's go and stand with the rest of the family." Dida urged.

Abhishek, Pragya, Vikram, Pallavi, Disha and Dida began to walk down the dias. Aryan, who was beside Sahana, touched her hand lightly to get her attention. As she looked at him quizzically, he whispered something to her. Nodding with an excited grin, Sahana walked forth and just before Disha could take her place beside Pragya, stood beside Pragya. Aryan, too, took the vacant place beside Purab so that he couldn't move away. With Vikram standing beside Abhishek who was beside Pragya and Sahana standing beside Pragya, Disha had no option left but to stand beside Purab, who was between Sahana and Aryan. The only place left was between Sahana and Purab as Pallavi and Dida were standing beside Vikram and the rest of the Mehra family beside Aryan. Albeit with much hesitation, Disha took her rightful place beside Purab. They smiled awkwardly at each other and quickly looked away. Then, both stole glances of each other when each thought that the other wasn't looking. A small smile played on Aryan's lips as he witnessed a love that was still alive though burried under heaps of misunderstandings, accusations and regrets. He had already set the plan rolling and was determined to see it through.

"Arey what is this? This looks such a tame occasion without any music and dance. This just doesn't look like the function of Mehra and Kohli household. Come on youngsters, rock the party." Abhishek encouraged.

"Don't worry, Mehra Sir. We are ready with the perfect song for this occasion." Sahana giggled and 

Soon, the place cleared as the audience parted into two halves and stood near the walls, making space in the middle.

Sahana came forth and bowed to everyone present there. Then, she straightened up and clicked her fingers. Some  girls filed into the hall and joined Sahana.

Kehti hai mangni ki angoothi

Sahana lifted her hand and tapped her ring finger.

Preet nibhana Rajaji

Sahana pressed both her palms to each other and clasped her hands together.

Der na karna, ghodi chadke jaldi aana Rajaji

Sahana pretended to hold the reins of the horse and moved back and forth in dance moves.

Banno hai phoolo ki daali

Sahana gestured towards Prachi and taking a basket of flowers from another girl, threw the flowers towards Prachi.

Banno hai naazon ki Pali

Sahana twirled around

Banno ka mukhda kya kehna

Sahana ran up the stairs and touched Prachi's chin

Dekh lajaye bhor ki lali

Sahana made a hand gesture to remove evil eyes from Prachi.

Dulha banke kesariya safe mein aana Rajaji

Sahana now moved towards a smiling Ranbir and pretended to tie the turban over her head.

Lali lali dulhaniya ko sang le jaana Rajaji

Sahana gestured towards Prachi and pretended to pull down the 'ghungat' (veil) and then moved her hand in a gesture of going away.

Aayenge Sajni Ke Saajan

Sahana ran down the dias and joined the other girls and gestured first at Prachi and then at Ranbir while dancing.

Pyar karenge aise Saajan

The girls led by Sahana clasped their hands together and danced.

Rakam byas ke saath wasoole jaise koi bedard mahajan

All the girls twirled and kept dancing along with Sahana

Honeymoon ke liye chand ki ticket katana Raniji

Aryan entered the scene with some boys and bumped his shoulder against Sahana's making her jaw drop and then twirled her around, holding her hand.

Kehti hai mangni ki angoothi

Together, Aryan and Sahana began to dance. Ranbir and Prachi were beaming happily, seeing their friends and families celebrating this very special day in their lives, the very beginning of a new life of togetherness. 

Preet nibhana Rajaji

They pulled everyone into the dance floor one by one, may it be Abhishek - Pragya, Vikram - Pallavi or Purab - Disha.

Der na karna, ghodi chadke jaldi aana Rajaji

While dancing, Aryan gestured to Sahana. Understanding him correctly, Sahana moved towards Purab and Disha while dancing and pushed her into Purab's arms. Giving Aryan a discreet thumbs up, Sahana instantly moved away. Purab and Disha lost themselves in each other's eyes. Their eyes communicating a whole host of unsaid emotions. However, as the music came to an end, Disha was the first one to return to her senses and she immediately broke free from Purab's arms and walked away. Purab smiled while looking at her retreating figure lovingly.

Aryan and Sahana hi fived. Aryan smiled seeing the genuine happiness, though momentary, in his father's eyes.

"Okay, everyone. Now it's time for the engaged couple's performance. Give them a big hand." Aryan cheered.

The hall burst into rounds of applause at the announcement.

"What? But when was this decided?" Ranbir looked around, baffled.

Prachi too was bewildered at the sudden turn of the event and was shyly shaking her head in negation.

"Just now. Come on, Ranbir and Prachi, show the world your love through the melodious notes of music." Abhishek insisted.

Knowing that they wouldn't be able to refuse Abhishek, Prachi and Ranbir smiled and looked at each other. Ranbir extended his hand to her and Prachi put her hand in his. Together, they walked down the dias. 

Thoda Sa Pyar Hua Hai Thoda Hai Baki

Ranbir extended his hand and Prachi gave her hand in his. He twirled her in.

Hum To Dil De Hi Chuke Bas Teri Haan Hai Baki

Her back rest against his chest and she rest her head on his broad shoulder. He wound his arms over her arms which rested over her stomach. They swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Kaun Sa Mod Aaya Zindagi Ke Safar Mein

He twirled her around and pulled her closer, wounding his arms around her waist. Her hands rested on his shoulders. Losing themselves in each other's eyes, they swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Bas Gaya Tu Hi Tu Ab To Meri Nazar Mein

Slowly, Prachi slid her hands down his chest as she stepped back and held his outstretched hands.

Dil Ki Har Ek Dhadkan Tujhko Pehchaanti Hai

He placed her hand over his beating heart whose each beat spelled her name.

Meri Chaahat Hai Ab Kya Tu Nahin Jaanti Hai

He lifted her hands to his lips and kissed her knuckles. She closed her eyes with a shy smile, feeling a strange fluttering sensation in her stomach.

Main Tuhje Jaan Gayi Tujhko Pehchaan Gayi

She took her hands back and walked around him.

Phir bhi teri haan hai baaki

She turned and rested the back of her head on his shoulder.

Aaj yeh kya hua hai, dil nahi mera bas mein

Prachi lifted her head from his shoulder, took a step away and turned back.

Isliye sochti hu tor du saari rasmein

Ranbir turned around and Prachi took his hand in her own.

Umr bhar ke liye tu aa mera saath de de

Ranbir twirled her out, letting go of her hand

Tera ho jaunga main haathon mein haath de de

Ranbir extended his hand towards Prachi and she gave her hand in his.

Haathon mein haath sahi, tu mere saath Sahi

Ranbir pulled Prachi towards him, making her fall on him and her hands coming to rest on his shoulders. Ranbir blew off a strand of hair that had fallen over her face due to the sudden pull.

Phir bhi teri haan hai baaki

Ranbir took a step back and holding her by the waist, lifted her above him.

Thoda sa pyar hua hai thoda hai baaki

Ranbir twirled her around and slowly lowered her to the ground beneath. Their bodies brushed against each other and their breath fanned against each other, sending an unknown sensation course within their bodies.

Thoda sa pyar hua hai thoda hai baaki

As Prachi's feet touched the ground, she looked up and met Ranbir's eyes. As the pair of beautiful black eyes met the pair of handsome brown eyes they lost themselves in the depth of each other's eyes and became oblivious of the world around them.

Gradually, the music drew to an end. However, Prachi and Ranbir were still lost in their own little world where only the two of them exists.

While all the elders admired their love for each other, Aryan and Sahana looked at each other with playful smirks. They thought of 'helping' their best friends to come out of their private utopia.

"Since the music has stopped, you can let go of each other if you want." A male voice observed.

"Or you can continue, if you want. We totally understand." A female voice remarked.

As the voices perforated their preoccupation with each other, Prachi and Ranbir became abruptly aware of their surroundings and let go of each other hastily.

Everyone burst into fits of laughter while the poor couple reddened. Amidst much fun and laughter the engagement party concluded.

As the last of the guest took leave of them, Disha turned to face them with a smile.

"Di, Bhai, now I will take your leave too." Disha smiled.

Prachi, Ranbir, Aryan and Sahana looked at each other and the decision was taken right there.

"Disha Masi, please stay here till my wedding." Prachi entreated.

"Yes, aunty, please stay here." Ranbir supported Prachi's request.

"Yes, masi, please." Sahana joined in.

"Arey, but..." Disha was about to put forth her objection but couldn't quite manage it.

"Please, aunty, stay here for the duration of the wedding. We would love to have you here." Aryan entreated.

Disha looked at the young man. She shouldn't feel this queer affinity towards Aryan who was the offspring of the woman who had destroyed her married life and snatched away her beloved  husband from her. And yet, she did feel a very strong sense of affinity with Aryan as if he was not a stranger. May be it was her motherly instinct or may be that incident in her past about which no one but Sunny was aware of, drew her towards Aryan.

Pragya's voice broke Disha's chain of thoughts.

"Disha, the kids are requesting so much
Say yes to them." Pragya smiled.

"Okay, since you all want it, I will stay here till Prachi and Ranbir's wedding. Happy?" Disha patted Aryan's cheek affectionately, who grinned happily.

Purab smiled as his eyes moistened seeing the instant bonding between his son and the love of his life.

"Ecstatic." Aryan grinned.

"Okay, so let's call it a day as we have so many preparations to do for mehndi tomorrow." Dasi instructed.

With a general murmur of consent, everyone retired to their respective rooms while Pragya escorted Disha to a bedroom beside her room.

Precap - Farewell party in college and mehndi function at night.
