~Ved's Pov~

"Whoever has his heart's doors wide open, could see the Sun itself in every storm......."

"Bhai were you calling someone???"

Dev asked me while coming towards me. Oh God, can't he see...I threw a dirty look and replied him back after disconnecting the call

" No Dev, I was dancing..."

"Huh? But why now? Weren't we supposed to dance in the evening..."

He asked me while smiling sheepishly. I groaned in frustration and said

"Mr. Dev Singh Mohan instead of joking around, can you be useful to others. Tell me what did you do since morning?"

"Well I woke up early today, I ate my food on time and..."

I cut him in the middle of the sentence by saying

"Doing all these things doesn't count in helping idiot... Did you check on the arrangements?"

"Bhai why do you think me so useless...I did call the manager to check on the arrangements, and even asked Sam to reach early at the venue so that we both can give a final check to the arrangements together , so chill."

He told me. I replied him back by saying

"Good! If you hadn't done this, trust me I wouldn't have hesitated to beat the crap out of you. And if Sam is coming then give your first priority to work in spite of getting busy with her. So don't get distracted."

He gave me amused look and nodded politely.

As soon as we descended the stairs I was greeted by the pretty sight of my beloved wife smiling while standing at the entrance of Dadi's room. Is she peeping inside? Well we resolved our differences last night, and I promised her that I would never hide anything from her again. I walked to her and after sensing my stare and presence, she too looked at me smilingly.

"You're looking wildly stunning my love..."

I whispered this in her ear, to which she blushed and replied softly

"You too look handsome."

We both were openly staring each other until the spoilsport comes in between

"Guys, you two can flirt with each other later. Atleast avoid this in front of a kid like me..."

Dev said while smirking at us. I rolled my eyes in disbelief. Suddenly my eyes fell inside the room. Ok so Shri was smiling due to this.

"Isn't she looking pretty?"

Shri mumbled and I nodded smilingly in response.

Though Miru isn't completely ready as makeup artists are still doing their jobs but still she's looking really pretty in the attire designed by my Shri. Dadi is praising her to which she's shyly smiling, and that smile is adding to her beauty. I hope that this smile never ever leaves my Miru's face. I'm glad that at least she has completely opened up to Dadi. I'm sure she feels comfortable around her as she looks relaxed and carefree when she's with Dadi. Not only did I notice this, but everyone else in the house has also noticed.

Dadi suddenly caught sight of us all and came out of the door saying

"Wow! How good are my kids looking..."

"Well if one has such a young and beautiful granny like you, he has to look good in order to compliment her..."

Dev uttered these words in his usual flirtatious way...To which Dadi chuckled while blushing. Well she's such a sweetheart. How cute she looks when she chuckles...

"Stop exaggerating... tell me where's my Shaurya. Is he getting ready or not?"

"Yes Dadi, he has gone to his room to get ready a while back." I told her.

"Ok then, I'll be get going guys...will meet you all in the evening."

With this Dev left home to reach the venue.........

~Manjiri's Pov~

"Stay where you don't need to fake yourself......"

I read somewhere that faking a smile is easier than explaining why you don't feel like to smile...

At then I did not pay much attention to this matter, but today I can see it's every word matching with my present condition... isn't it strange? I already accepted everything, but at times I still feel a misfit in this family...

We all reached here early, so that the elders could welcome the guests properly. The Mohan ladies are busy talking with some relatives while being seated in the hall... I must say hall is beautifully decorated. I'm really impressed. It's shimmering like a bride, I can see a big stage at the centre. Everything seems perfect...be it flowers, lights, chandeliers, curtains and other decorative things. I'm asked to stay in a private room until being called out, so I'm dragging my feet to the room. Yes I'm dragging them as it's not easy to walk in this heavy attire.

Lost in my own thoughts, I didn't see where I was going and realized it too late. I had already bumped into someone. I started mumbling half-hearted apologies and tried to get away as soon as possible. I was hell embarrassed for daydreaming and had even dropped my phone on the floor. Awesome!

The person whom I bump into bent down and picked up my phone while I just stood there looking cluelessly.

She stood up and offered me a genuine smile, like a "I'm very glad" kind of smile. Inadvertently I smiled too. To my utter surprise, next moment she hugged me warmly and without saying anything helped me in getting into the room. But as soon as I stepped into the room, I froze at the spot I was standing. I found my husband already seated in the room and was engaged in talking to Dev Bhai who was sitting beside him.

Keeping quiet I shuffled in and took a seat in the couch placed far away from them. I chanced a glance in his direction only to find him staring at me. To be honest, at first I used to feel awkward and uncomfortable at his stares but now I think I've got used to it.

A sweet voice brought me back to reality from my thoughts,

"Hey Manjiri, I'm Sameeksha, Dev's fiancee...you can call me Sam."

I noticed her sitting next to me and before I could open my mouth to say something, Dev Bhaiya said this with a jolt

"Such a liar... she's lying Bhabhi, don't trust her. She's is just Shreya's Di's sister-in-law. Nothing more."

She gave him a serious look and said

"Are you out of your mind Dev, what are you saying? Ignore him Manjiri, I'm really his fiancee..."

I have no idea what these two are saying. I'm just looking at them confusingly.

Dev Bhaiya replied her saying,

"Madam I guess there's some misunderstanding...please don't pretend to be my fiancee. These girls these days, I tell you get happy thinking of anything."

I looked at Sam, she's glaring Dev Bhaiya irritatingly

"Stop with your nonsense Dev...Shaurya Bhai see what your idiot brother is saying."

Shaurya just shook his head and ignored both of them. Soon the other two started arguing. Oh God! What is this going on? Why are they fighting?

Suddenly my eyes met with Shaurya's eyes. I guess he sensed my confusion and worry therefore he got up and came towards me. After settling himself beside me and he said calmly

"Don't worry! Let them be. These things are quite normal between these two."

I simply nodded after hearing him. After a couple of minutes I asked him softly while looking at the two

"Are they really engaged?"

"Don't they look so...infact at times when they argue like this, they give out wedded couple's vibes."

He replied. To which I mentally chuckled.

Indeed! Well I'm really happy for them, both look good together. But what to do with them now? Though I knew that my husband is a man of few words, still he tried to silence both of them many times. And I appreciate this but they didn't listen a single time. Uff!

And this is how we witnessed their cute fight amusingly until we were called out......

~~~

"Don't worry when I argue with you;
Worry when I'll stop........."

~~~

"Not just hands... Our souls are entwined together!!!"

Never obviously did Shaurya expect Manjiri to clutch his hand,he paused for a moment at then. Looking at her face, he sighed helplessly. It is quite clear from her face that she is nervous as hell to face the huge crowd of people gathered at the party.

After realizing that how tightly she's holding his hand, Shaurya unknowingly smiled. This feeling of being trusted made him feel a trace of warmth. Raising his eyebrows he questioned her in a low concerning tone

"Are you okay?"

On hearing his voice, Manjiri stiffened a little and immediately detached his hand from her's while nodding nervously.

But to her utter surprise, Shaurya didn't even give her time to think instead he held her hand and started walking. She too let him hold her hand just like that.

Soft music playing in the background reached their ears as they entered the hall. Guests cheered while their family members smiled joyously looking towards them. All this was new to Manjiri, she raised her head and looked at Shaurya. He blinked his eyes towards her, and also offered her his most genuine and assuring smile.

And guess what this time Manjiri too smiled while looking towards Shaurya. His heart skipped a beat looking at her face........

"And in her smile I saw something more beautiful than the art.........."
