The beautiful lights in the Siddiqui Mansion were sparkling their colors in every corner of the house. The golden chandelier hung right in the center. It glittered, its crystal teardrops like small golden suns. The seating arrangement for the bride-groom was made right in front of the dance floor which was setup in the centre of the hall. Adding to the beauty, orchids fragrance filled the environment with its sweet smell.

The guests had already started filling in. Both the fathers were standing at the entrance for their welcome. Roshnaq was keeping a check on the starters and made sure they were being served hot. While Arjun checked the sound system was installed properly and was going through the playlist. The Mehndi Artist had already arrived and were mixing fresh henna in the bowls for the bride.

Harsh excused himself for a moment & came to Arjun, "Arjun, teri maa ready nhi hui ab tk? Sb guests puch rhe h".

"Dad, mom Bhai ko lene gyi thi....wo rhi", Arjun said pointing at the stairs. Anjana stood there with Aditya with her arms entangled in his. He looked dashing in black pathani and pyjama. Those perfect jawline were adorning a smile.

Aditya & Anjana were making their way down when suddenly they noticed that everyone's head turned to their direction but they weren't looking at them. Anjana turned to see Zoya standing at the top of the stairs with Noor by her side. She smiled causing Aditya to turn and he saw the most beautiful face. She looked like the moon of the night. The more he looked at her, the more captivating it gets with every sight.

Aditya freed his arm from Anjana's hold and started climbing the stairs. Zoya stopped at her place seeing him coming while Noor blushed. He stopped a step below. Zoya wasn't expecting what he next did. He extended his hand towards her, "May I?", he asked gentlemanly.

It was enough for Noor to jump in excitement. "Appi, soch kya rhi ho? Jeeju aapka haath maang rhe h", she whispered in Zoya's ears. Zoya look at his patiently waiting hands and placed her hand on it. He gently curled his fingers around her soft hands & walked her down the stairs.

Just as they touched the floor, Nisha popped in front of Zoya. "Wow Bhabhi, you look stunning!! And this locket is so pretty", she blurted out. At these words, Aditya turned to find the diamond shining in the form of locket around her neck. He was so lost in admiring her face that he didn't notice that she has worn the locket he had gifted her.

Aditya wasn't expecting her to surprise him in this way yet a charming smile took the shape of his lips. This didn't go unnoticed by Anjana who was standing right next to him and neither by Zoya. His smile was not only the reflection of his happiness but also the gratitude he felt towards her at that moment. Zoya wanted to tell him that it was actually Noor who made her wear it. Instead she responded with a kind smile.

And again their moment was broken when Noor stood between them. "Jeeju, can I borrow my Appi?", she asked.

Aditya realised that he was still holding Zoya's hands. He let it go upon realising and Noor caught it instantly. She took Zoya along with her and Anjana too escorted Aditya to sit a little away from Zoya but in the same couch. Soon Zoya's both arms were taken as her Mehndi ceremony started while Aditya stare her.

Few minutes had passed when the lights focused on Arjun who was standing in the centre holding a mic in his hand. "Ladies & Gentlemen, may I have your attention please!", he spoke in the mic.

"Firstly, I would like to thank all of you from both Hoodas and Siddiquis for joining us in for the Sangeet ceremony of Aditya-Zoya. So without wasting time, lets start with the first performance of this evening. Jo ki h hum ladke walo ki taraf se hamari pyaari bhabhi ke liye", he announced and the lights of the dance floor changed.

When the color of the lights changed, Arjun, Nisha & others were in spotlight. The tune of 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' song started playing in the background. The audience cheered as guys shook their legs on the hook step of the song. The audience broken into applause as the first rocking performance ended.

"Didi, haath pr naam kya likhna h?", the girl who was drawing mehndi designs on Zoya's hands asked her. This made Aditya who was sitting on the other end of the couch to look up. His eyes met with Zoya who was also staring at him.

"Aditya! Hamare jeeju ka naam Aditya h", Noor said watching them staring each other. She nudged Zoya playfully causing her to look away from him.

Everyone's attention was back on Arjun as he had taken the stage for announcing next performance. "Hume to hamare brother ki dulhan mil gyi h. Lets see ki iss par ladki ki behno ka kya kehna h. So next performance le kr aa rhi h mere Bhai ki pyaari pyaari saaliyan", he spoke.

Th spotlights fell on Noor and two girls behind her. The performance started with the first song 'Makhna', switched to the emotional 'Heer Heer Na Khodiyo' and completed with the heavy-hearted 'Yeh Galliyan Yeh Chaubara'. After the song ended, Noor stayed back on stage.

"This is for you Appi", Noor said to Zoya & took the mic in her hands. She started singing, "Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka............Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai". Arjun was the first one to clap in the audience as Noor sang the last line. Zoya had tears in her eyes by the end. She opened her arms and Noor came running into them. Both the sisters became emotional as they shared the hug.

"Ab baari unki jinke bachche apna yeh naya safar saath mein shuru krne jaa rhe h. I request Mom-Dad, Waseem Uncle & Aunty to join the stage", Arjun was back on the stage.

Anjana-Harsh happily came forward and waited to be join by Waseem & Roshnaq. Waseem extended his arms towards Roshnaq and said with a smile, "Aaiye". But she was shying, "Waseem, humse nhi hoga", she replied hiding the blush on her face.

Just then Arjun came amd dragged both of them to the dance floor. The dance lights now focused on the two couples. The song played was 'Ae Meri Zohar Jabi' and Aditya, Arjun, Zoya, Noor started cheering & hooting. Zoya was enjoying watching her parents dance happily with each other. She took out her phone and silently captured the moment.

Arjun whistled at the end of the song. He got back to the stage and announced the next performance which was dedicated by Zoya's friends. They danced to the three fusion including 'Tareefan', 'Kaala Chashma' and 'Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan' at the end making Zoya emotional.

"Iss se phle main hamare aaj ke celebrity couple ko invite karu......kyun na ek head on performance ho jaaye dono sides ke beech", the anchor announced and the audience started hooting showing their enthusiasm. "So I invite Miss Nooooor to take the challenge", Arjun spoke in the mic staring at Noor.

Noor got up & walked the stage with full confidence. She saw Arjun smirking and the lights again changed their colors. The DJ played the very famous 'Radha' song from SOTY. Arjun & Noor danced matching the steps with the lyrics of the song. The audience was enjoying and cheering loudly. No one could deny that the song well-suited them and their pairing looked great. Their chemistry set the dance floor on fire.

After the hot performance ended, both of them bowed down to the audience. This time Noor took the mic and Arjun stood by her side as she announced the final performance of the evening.

"Ab aa rhe h woh jinki shaan mein aaj ki yeh shaam h. So put your hands together for soon-to-be couple Zoya aapi & Aditya Jeeju", she declared and people started clapping for the final performance of bride-groom.

With that Arjun and Noor went to bring their respective brother & sister to the dance floor. Before Zoya could realise, Noor held her hand & dragged to the centre of the hall while Arjun escorted Aditya. AdiYa stood alone below the golden chandelier whose colorful lights were dancing upon them. Soon all the lights went off and they were the only in spot.

~ Tune of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Aditya bent on his knees and asked for Zoya's hand. People cheered asking Zoya to give her hand. All the 4 parents were happy seeing their children together. "Come on Appi", "Come on Bhabhi", Arnoor looked at each other as they spoke at the same time.

Zoya was about to place her hand on his when something caught her eye. She looked at Aditya and he was smiling. Her name was written with Mehndi on his left wrist. She felt something shift inside her chest. She placed her hand on his palms avoiding the eye contact with him.

~ Tu Safar Mera.....

Aditya gently placed her hand on his shoulder and interwined his fingers with her other hand. He slides down his fress hand in her waist and pulled her closer.

~ Tere Bina Guzaara....

His eyes were fixed on her as he twisted her and rolled her. Zoya found it difficult to avoid him as she was swinging in his arms.

~ Junoon Hai Mera Banu Main Tere Kaabil

Aditya placed his hand on Zoya's cheeks and their bodies moved in rythm. Their faces were very close. Zoya could feel his hit breaths on her lips and Aditya could sense her nervous state. Further he bent and took her on his knees. Zoya tightly hugged his shoulder and they closed their eyes feeling the moment which was intimate and intense at the same time.

~ ...Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

The lights came back and the audience broke into the loudest applause. Aditya gently lifted Zoya back to her feet. She was still holding his shoulder and upon realisation, released them slowly.

Arjun took the mic for the final time to give the concluding speech. "And with this performance I conclude the day. Once again thank you for joining us in. I hope you have enjoyed. Good Night", he said and the guests started departing.

Soon the hall was empty and there were only family members left. Arjun, Noor, Harsh, Anjana, Waseem and Roshnaq gathered to sit around Aditya-Zoya after the ceremony got over.

"Chaliye appi, aapki Mehndi dikhaiye. Hum bhi dekhe Jeeju aap se kitna pyaar krte h", Noor said.

"Haa Zoya...dekhe to tumhari Mehndi ka rang kaisa chadha h", Anjana joined.

Zoya opened her palms in front of every one. The color of her Mehndi has turned out to be very dark indicating a positive sign. Anjana became really happy and Noor hugged Zoya in excitement. Aditya blushed too and at the same time, he spotted his name shining brightly below Zoya's thumb.

After few minutes of chit-chatting, they got up to retire to their room for some good sleep as the next was gonna be very long and busy. Hooda brothers drifted to their room and Harsh left too.

"Bhaisahab, ab jitna waqt aapko bitana h aapko bita lijiye Zoya ke saath. Kyun ki kl hum usse apni bahu bana kr le jaa rhe h", Anjana told him. After giving Zoya a kiss on her forehead, she too left.

"Abbu-Ammi, aaj raat ko hum aap dono ke saath so skte h?", Zoya asked holding back a tear in her soft eyes & they both kissed her either sides of the cheek.
