Dhara was in the kitchen.Gaurav went near her.
Gaurav:Can I join you?
Dhara was shocked.
Dhara:But...you are a man.
Gaurav:I am not narrow minded to think that men will lose manliness if they cook.I enjoy cooking.
Dhara was surprised.
She thought:He is so different.
Gaurav:So can I join you?We will cook together.
Dhara smiled nodding.
They both started cooking together.

Unknowingly they started having fun in the kitchen.
Their friendship started that moment without their knowledge.

Days passed....

Gaurav gave her a saree.
Gaurav:I bought this saree for you.Sorry,I could not afford a silk saree.
Dhara smiled seeing the saree.
Dhara:You bought a saree for me with your hard earned money.That's more than enough for me.I never wish to wear costly sarees daily like Nivi di.I prefer simple clothes.This saree is very pretty.I loved it.

Gaurav smiled happily.

Gaurav:Can I see you in this saree?
She gave him a node with a smile.

Dhara wore the saree and came.Gaurav was mesmerized by her beauty.

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhePaaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

Gaurav:You don't know how beautiful you are Dhara.
Dhara did not know how to react.
Dhara:But I...
Gaurav:I told you that skin colour does not define beauty.I don't believe that fair skinned girls are more beautiful.In my eyes you are more beautiful than anyone else.Trust me.
She started blushing.

Tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayiIshq mazhab, ishq meri zaat ban gayi

He smiled seeing her blush.

Gaurav-Dhara went to the movie theatre and enjoyed watching a movie.

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhe

The spent time on the beach.

Paaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

Dhara was thinking of Gaurav and blushing.
Dhara wore a nice saree.She beautified her eyes with kohl.She wore a bindi and waited for Gaurav to come.
Gaurav came.She blushed seeing him.He noticed that Dhara has dressed up.

Ho tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayiSapne teri ke, teri keDekhti hoon ab kayeeDin hai sona aur raat ban gayiHoo tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi

Gaurav:You have dressed up so well.
She smiled.
He went near her and looked at her deeply.
Gaurav:You dressed up for me.Right?
She blushed and nodded her head.

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhePaaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

Gaurav smiled:Why did you dress up for me?
She became shy.
Gaurav smiled.

Chahaton ka mazaa, mein nahinAa loon hauslon mein kahin

He cupped her face in his palms.
Gaurav:Can I tell you something?When I saw you for the first time itself I fell for you.It was love at first sight for me.
She was surprised.

Sab se upar likha, hai tere naam koKhwaishon se jude mein kahin

Gaurav:I love you Dhara.
She felt goosebumps all over her body when he confessed his love.

Khwaishein ki tumse, milne ki tumseRoz hoti hai nayiMere dil ki jeet meri maat ban gayiHoo tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi

Gaurav:Now tell me why you dressed up.
She was blushing to the core.
Dhara:Because I wanted to dress up for the man I love.
He was very happy.

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhePaaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

Gaurav still asked "What do you mean?" though he understood what she meant to say to make her confess her love for him.
Dhara:I love you Gauravji.
His happiness had no limit.

Zindagi hai yeh magarChod kar raah mein tum agarCheen main se tumheSoona hoga na yeh, do ka nagar

Dhara:After you entered my life,I feel complete.
Gaurav:I also feel complete with your entry in my life.
They shared a romantic smile.

Raunke hain dil ke dar pe, hain dil ke dar peDhadkane hain surmayiMeri bhi tumhari, ban gayiHoo tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayiIshq mazhab, ishq meri zaat ban gayi

He scooped her in his arms and twirled around.
They had a romantic embrace.

Sapne teri ke, teri keDekhti hoon ab kayeeDin hai sona aur raat ban gayiHoo tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi

Then they came closer closing the distance between them.

Gaurav-Dhara were having a happy married life.

Ronit's marriage got fixed with Shivani.
Gaurav-Dhara travelled to Dhara's place by a second hand bike.
The same time Anupam,Nivedita and family arrived there in a luxurious car.
The people around her were gossiping.
"The eldest daughter's husband has got a car.But the youngest daughter is coming by a normal bike.Shekhar and Sharmishta got a rich son in law as well as a middle class son in law".
Gaurav who overheard this became dull.
Nivedita and Dhara hugged each other happily.
Dhara:How are you di?
Nivedita:I am leading a luxurious life Dhara.I am really enjoying it.What about you Dhara?
Dhara:I am very happy Di.Both Gauravji and his parents are very loving.
Nivedita smiled:I am very happy for you.
They smiled.
Dhara and Gaurav gave him a show piece as a gift.
Ronit:Wow..it's beautiful.
Anupam and Nivedita gifted him a costly roller watch.
Ronit:Wow..I always wanted a watch like this.Thank you so much Nivi and jiju.

They smiled.

Mohini:You are my son Anupam's brother in law.We will give you the best.My husband Moloy and I are giving you a honeymoon ticket to Paris too.
Ronit and everyone else was surprised.
Ronit:Paris!I can't even dream of it.
Mohini:Start dreaming as it's going to be a reality now.
Ronit:Thank you so much.It is the best wedding gift I could get.
They all smiled.
Dhara smiled as her brother got what he wanted.But Gaurav looked dull.

Gaurav thought:Only expensive gifts have value.The gift which we gave Ronit with love has less value before Anupam's family's expensive gift.
He felt bad.Dhara who understood it held his hand.
Dhara:Don't take it into heart Gauravji.
He gave her a pale smile.
Dhara,Nivedita,Ronit were having a nice family time with their parents.
Everyone noticed that Nivedita was wearing costly decorated sarees and a lot of gold ornaments.
Somebody said:Nivedita...you re wearing so many costly ornaments.
Mohini:She has to wear them as she is our daughter in law.She is not less than a Queen.My son Anupam and I give her gold as gifts,not small gifts which middle class people give their daughter in law or wife.

Gaurav became really dull.
He thought:Indirectly Mohiniji was taunting me.But I don't care.
Some people were talking over there.
"Nivedita's husband and parents in law are giving her costly saree and ornaments.But Dhara's husband and family are giving her artificial ornaments.Poor Dhara!"
Gaurav who over heard this could not take it anymore.
Gaurav thought:Let others taunt me.But my Dhara is becoming small before others.I can't let it happen.She also deserves all this.I should also get her something expensive and she should be wearing it on Ronit's wedding.
