Next morning Malini went to wake up Riddhima but seeing her sleeping so peacefully she didn't had heart to wake her up but Maanvi was so eager to be with her Di so she laid her down beside her & Maanvi instantly hugged Riddhima with her small hands & she in sleep smiled & cocooned her baby sister in her arms. She kissing their heads left to handle other work.

UMANG: Malini aap toh Riddhi ko jagane gae thi na aur Maanvi kaha hain?

MALINI: Umang Riddhi bahot araam se so rahi thi aur humein jagane ka man nahi hua isiliye socha thodi der sone dete hain aur Maanvi unke paas jana chahti thi toh woh bhi so gae unke saath.

Umang chuckled & pecked her lips winking at her making her blush. Umang laughed seeing her tomato face & hugged her tight.

UMANG: I love you....

Malini looked at him & said with a smile.

MALINI: I love you too Umang....

Umang kissed her forehead & both went to breakfast.

PRITHVI: Beta Riddhi aur Maanvi kaha hain?

UMANG: So rahe hain dono...

Malini shared & Jahnvi smiled knowing Vansh was there with her yesterday night as she saw her from kitchen when she was having ice cream with Shekhar. Later at brunch she woke up because Maanvi was awake & was playing with her fingers. She opened her eyes & Maanvi smiled at her making her aww. Riddhima kissed her making her giggle.

RIDDHIMA: Kitni cute ho na tum I love you baby....

She smoothed her cheeks earning a hearty laughter from her. She played with her till Shekhar came to check on them. He joined too & later Jahnvi told her to get freshen up & have early lunch. She nodded & ran to bathroom. Getting freshened up she came down & was hugged by her brothers. She sat down for her lunch & then finishing it called Siya. It was a video call & she talked with everyone & found Vansh still sleeping. After waking him up & talking with him she went to get ready. Seeing the outfit she looked at Jahnvi with a toothy smile & Jahnvi tapped her forehead.

JAHNVI: Chalo get into this.

Riddhima nodded with a smile & went to her closet.

(Riddhima's outfit)

FLASHBACK

Everyone were finalising their dresses & jwelery so Riddhima's mehendi outfit was remaining. After a while she going through racks picked this up.

RIDDHIMA: Main yeh pehnungi mehendi mein....

ISHANI: Bhabhi Maa yeh aur haldi ka outfit same colour ka ho jaega phir....

RIDDHIMA: Toh woh change kar ke orange lehenga haldi mein pehnungi.

JAHNVI: But betu mehendi ke liye itne saare options hain. Usmein se kuch pasand nahi aaya aap ko?

RIDDHIMA: Mumma sab bahot ache hain par mujhe na lehenga nahi pehn na.

JAHNVI: Kyun?

RIDDHIMA: Mumma kitne bhari hote hain ek function mein toh skip kar hi sakti hu na. Aur phir beth ke mehendi hi toh lagwani hain. Lehenga hoga toh kitna sambhalungi apne mehendi wale haath, lehenga ka flair, uska dupatta.... so much to handle. Aur itna sab kuch sambhalungi toh dance kaise karungi?

She said with a huff as if she was to handle whole world. All laughed & she pouted. She gave her best puppy eyes & cute innocent look that all melted & agreed & she jumped in excitement.

FLASHBACK ENDED

She came out wearing it & Jahnvi kissed her head.

JAHNVI: Bahot pyaari lag rahi ho....

RIDDHIMA: Ek dum aap ke jaisi?

JAHNVI: Humse bhi zyada....

As she don't like make up & also her skin is sensitive so she has decided to not have make up artists. Jahnvi helped her in getting ready & then all left to the venue. Riddhima was told to rest in a room & soon was told to enter the area with Vansh. She twirled infront of him & asked,

RIDDHIMA: Kaisi lag rahi hu main Ansh?

VANSH: Esi ki I can't take my eyes of you.....

She blushed at his words while their siblings & his friends hooted teasing them. He chuckled at her shyness & hugged her. With soft melody playing in the background & the elders showering flowers on them they reached the stage & Vansh helped Riddhima in sitting comfortably. Uma & Chanchal gave the mehendi cones to the artists but before that Jahnvi was told to make design on Riddhima's hand. Riddhima forwarded her palm excitedly & Jahnvi blessed her & then made a small flower & then told mehendi artist to continue. Later Uma wrote Riddhima's name on Vansh's palm too. Jahnvi was attending guests & then seeing Riddhima all happy her eyes turned moist. She went to Shekhar & asked him to arrange music for her. Shekhar nodded with a smile & got it done immediately.

(Imagine Jahnvi singing this song while dancing dedicating it to her betu her Riddhi. Guys I request you to hear this song once. It will help you to understand the emotions & the atmosphere of the function too.)

While dancing she even wrote Vansh's name in Riddhima's mehendi teasing her along. Later the couple was also pulled & everyone danced around them celebrating their togetherness. The song was emotional too & the mother daughter duo were all teary but at the end everyone joining it turned out to be a full bhangra shangra moment. After that all the ladies were settled to get their mehendi done while folk dancers & singers where there for the entertainment. Later the guests went for dinner & husbands fed their wives. Pooja was fed by Angre & so was Ishani by Vansh. The boys too uad got written their Riansh's name on their palms. After sitting for a while & cherishing few memories they called it a night & Riddhima whispered in Vansh's ears.

RIDDHIMA: Promise karo aaj raat aap nahi aaoge.

VANSH: Arrey....

RIDDHIMA: Please na Ansh....

VANSH: Kya chal raha hain tumhare dimaag mein?

RIDDHIMA: Baad mein phone par bataungi.

She kissed his cheek & ran away making him chuckle.

VANSH: Pata nahi ab kya chal raha hain mere baby ke dimaag mein.....

Later after reaching home Jahnvi made hot chocolate for the father daughter duo which they enjoyed sitting near pool.

SHEKHAR: Betu waise humein laga tha kal raat aap humare aur aap ki Mumma ke paas sone aaoge par aap toh nahi aae.

He said in a teasing tone making Riddhima blush.

SHEKHAR: Waise aap ke gaal itne laal kyun ho gae hain?

Riddhima hugged him tight making him laugh.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh aae the mujhse milne.

Shekhar kissed her head & closing eyes prayed for his children's happiness.

SHEKHAR: Toh aaj nahi aane wale aap ke Ansh?

Riddhima shook her head with a giggle & said with mischief dancing in her eyes.

RIDDHIMA: Aaj main jaungi par main ne na unhein bataya nahi....

Shekhar laughed at her & she too joined him. Finishing the remaining hot chocolate Shekhar wiped her mouth & then Jahnvi came there & helped her in removing mehendi. The colour was not so light but not so dark too & seeing it her face was losing glow.

JAHNVI: Betu yeh mehendi Jahnvi Bhabhi aur Chanchal ne apne haatho se banae hain aur yeh natural hain. Ismein woh chemicals wali mehendi ki tarah rang turant nahi aata. Iss par laung ka sek karna padta hain aur thoda time baad woh rang khilega.

She then took her to kitchen & helped her in laung ka sek & then applied mustard oil on it.

JAHNVI: Betu apne haatho ko bheegne mat dena. Kal subhah jab aap jagegi tab tak mehendi ka rang nikhar jaega.

Riddhima nodded her head & then ran to her room wishing good night to her parents as she had to go to Raisinghania mansion too. Seeing her jumping & running like a bunny her parents chuckled. Getting into her room she got ready into her nightwear & then keeping pillows on her place as Vansh came doing in his room she sneaked out of the mansion & went to Raisinghania Mansion. Reaching there she diverted guards attention & climed Vansh's balcony. Here on the other hand Vansh was pacing around the room as Riddhima was not accepting his calls. Hearing knock on the balcony door he frowned & when went closer he got the smell of mehendi & opened the door & found her standing there with smile. Seeing him she hugged him & he wrapped his arms around her waist.

RIDDHIMA: Surprise surprise.....

He chuckled at her excitement & kissing her side of head twirled her making her laugh & carried her inside. He carefully laid her on bed & she pulled him on top of her cuddling him.

RIDDHIMA: Haash... now I feel at peace....

She said with a sigh making him smile. He cupped her face softly rubbing her cheeks with his thumb & asked.

VANSH: Waise aap aaj balcony se kyun aae chad ke? Gir jaati aur chot lag jaati toh?

She wrapped her arms around his neck & rubbed her nose with his.

RIDDHIMA: Shayad aap bhul rahe ho Mr. Handsome ki aap ki fiancee ek underworld mafia hain. Ese balcony chadna toh uske liye dae haath ka khel hain.

Vansh laughed at her antics & she too joined him. After composing himself he joined their foreheads & whispered.

VANSH: Ese hi hasti muskurati aur bubbly si rehna meri Jaan. Tumhein ese khush dekh kar dil ko ek alag sa sukoon mehsoos hota hain.

She pecked his lips agreeing him.

VANSH: You applied mustard oil?

RIDDHIMA: Haan Mumma ne bola ki usse rang ache se nikhar ta hain. Unhone laing ka sek karwaya air tel laga diya aur bola kal tak haath bheegne nahi dene hain.

He bit her nose making her giggle.

VANSH: Waise ghar par kisi ko bata kar aae ho?

RIDDHIMA: Hmm... Dadda ko pata tha ki aap kal raat aae the aur abhi unhein pata hain I'm here.....

Vansh chuckled as he had expected it. Jahnvi has once shared how she can't keep a secret but from Shekhar it's more tough for her. For a moment she'll keep secret from others but to Shekhar she'll share everything.

RIDDHIMA: Parso hum sab Amristar jaenge.

VANSH: Hmm....

He hummed tracing her mehendi clad hands softly playing with her fingers & hands kissing now & then over there. All of sudden she pulled her hands from his & sat making him frown. She hid her hands behind her.

VANSH: Kya hua?

RIDDHIMA: Aap abhi meri mehendi nahi dekh sakte...

VANSH: Kyu????

RIDDHIMA: Nahi humari first night ko yeh ritual hoga. Aap ko apna naam dhundna hain aur agar aap nahi dhund pae then you have to give me gift....

He chuckled & pulled her over him.

VANSH: Sweetheart aap ke liye toh gift lana humare liye badi khushi ki baat hain....

She chuckled at his words & kiss his nose & then all of a sudden bit his nose & had an angry pout.

RIDDHIMA: Aap itne handsome kyun ho? Sab aap ko dekh kar comment kar rahe the. Man toh kar raha tha ki sab ki Jaan le lu. Ansh samajh lo ek baat aap ki aap sirf mere ho.

He hovered over her tangling their legs & had his whole weight on his elbows.

VANSH: Meri Jaan main sirf aur sirf aap ka hu. Naa ki iss janam mein but agle har janam mein. Meri rooh, meri saansein, meri duniya, mera sukoon, meri khushiya sab kuch aap se hi toh hain.I love you so much mera bunny....

RIDDHIMA: I love you too Ansh.

They cuddled & his face was in her neck & she was softly massaging his head the way he likes.

RIDDHIMA: Aap ko pata hain mujhe bahot dar lagta hain. Itni saari khushiya hain aur koi mujhse aap aur humara Parivaar chin lega iss dar se rooh kaanp jaati hain....

VANSH: Baby koi kahi nahi jaa raha tumse dur...

RIDDHIMA: Aap paas hote hona toh ab nahi dar lag raha....

She yawned saying this.

VANSH: Dawai khai thi?

RIDDHIMA: Hmm... Kiyaan & Angre makes sure I don't skip it. Aap ne khae?

VANSH: Hmm... the first thing coming here. Ab chalo so jao...

RIDDHIMA: Aap subhah jaldi jaga dena wapas bhi toh jana hain mujhe...

Shr said in muffled tone due to yawns. Vansh pecked her lips & cuddling in each other's arms they drifted to their dreamland. Next morning Vansh woke her up & she was irritated.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh sone do please....

VANSH: Bacha aap ko ghar bhi toh jana hain na....

RIDDHIMA: Nahi jana yahi sona hain aur ab meri neend disturb mat karo...
She hid her face in his pillow hugging it tight. He sighed knowing she won't wake up & if she woke up in half sleep she'll be irritated whole day. He closed the curtains & had a dim light & went to freshen up. But before going he called Shekhar & informed about Riddhima.

IN ANANTA MANSION,

NEELA: Riddhi ko jaga jar aate hain hum. Phir ready hone ke chakar mein thik se khati nahi hain.

SHEKHAR: Mami Sa rehne dijiye woh yaha nahi hain.

ALL: Kya?

SHEKHAR: Woh Raisinghania Mansion gae hain as day before yesterday Vansh came. Vansh ka call aaya tha ki woh araam se soi hui hain aur jaagne ke mood mein nahi hain.

He said last part chuckling knowing how his princess loves to sleep. All smiled at her antics imagining how she would have been excited.

IN RAISINGHANIA MANSION

Vansh went down after freshening up & everyone looked at him thinking how this sleepy head is up.

AJAY: Vansh tu thik hain?

Siya & Kiyaan were chatting & Kiyaan informed her that Riddhima is there & Vansh's arrival there too.

SIYA: Bhai breakfast abhi bana nahi hain aap rest karo mein aap ke room mein bhijwaa dungi.

VANSH: No...

He immediately said knowing how his bunny is sleeping there forgetting outer world.

RUDRA: Kuch ajeeb sa behave kar raha hain tu kya hua?

SIYA: Don't worry mein Bhabhi Maa ka breakfast bhi bhijwa dungi.

Vansh's eyes widened & Siya laughed.

ISHANI: Kya?

Vansh blushed seeing the teasing eyes & rubbed her neck hiding his smile.

VANSH: Woh...

All laughed & his ears turned red.

UMA: Jaa bula la usse bhi breakfast ready hain.

VANSH: So rahi hain woh Maa. She won't wake up anytime soon.

He settled beside Ishani & she leaned on his shoulder.

VANSH: Tu thik hain Ishu?

ISHANI: Nothing much Bhai neend aa rahi hain par bhukh lagi thi toh breakfast ke liye aa gae.. 

Vansh kissed her head & made his both Princess eat with his own hands. He again went back to his room & laid down beside Riddhima taking her in his arms. Later Vansh woke up Riddhima at lunch time & she left to Ananta Mansion but not before kissing him. Reaching there she had lunch & then spent time with Kiyaan, Angre, Pooja & Myra & the little Maanvi too. They just were lazing around in Maanvi's room & playing with her & chatting. The sangeet was a huge blast where the opening performance was done by both eldest couples & then the parents of the bride & groom. After were the younger clan & Vansh's friends which was a surprise for both. Later they had couple dance & some of the finest artists of the world representing both the cultures. Being coming from a royal family they had their own limitations where they need to maintain an image of being the heir of the throne. So they have tried to keep it in their mind while planning this. Next morning everyone left for Amritsar & then had a day off. Next day they went to golden temple for seeking blessings. Riddhima & Jahnvi were the last one as all were ready & waiting for them in hall.

SHEKHAR: Soniye, Betu kinni der....

He shouted making everyone chuckle.

POOJA: Papa Sa unko der toh lagegi na. Oh dono jagarata ki taiyariya mein lage hue si....

Shekhar huffed.

SHEKHAR: Ki zaroorat hain taiyar hone ki ese hi toh Jaan leti hain humari apni ek muskaan se hi.

Vansh was sitting beside him & laughed at his words.

SHEKHAR: Ki puttar Ji aap vi toh ese hi ghayal ho....

He said with a smirk & Vansh laughed agreeing with him. The sound of payal was heard & all turned to the stairs & there the mother daughter duo were coming busy in their own talks.

(Jahnvi's dress)

(Riddhima's dress)

They both kept hairstyle simple just open. Later all sat in car & with their convoy left to gurudwara. Shekhar & Jahnvi went to meet one of the priests while others went inside. Riddhima was peacefully praying to the god & Vansh clutched her dupatta in his hand. After bowing down she stood up & so was he. After doing parikrama they sat there. Shekhar & Jahnvi joined them & people stood up but Shekhar denied & they went ahead. All the while Jahnvi's dupatta was in his hand. They both bowed down infront of God & Jahnvi closed her eyes for prayers & Shekhar was admiring his goddess. They did parikrama & again bowed down. All were in awww seeing their pure love. Later they both went to Shaanvi's memorial. Later they had jaago & early morning except Riddhima, Shekhar & Jahnvi left to Mumbai. They returned in late afternoon & the couple was strictly denied to meet as the wedding was next day.
