The beauty of the multi-crore tent, set on five acres of land and worthy of today's ceremony, made even ordinary passers-by stand for a minute and marvel. The workmanship of the peacock pillars at the entrance and the artefacts found on the top of the tent are as strong and beautiful as the reign of Vikram Aditya built for his friend Dhruv, somewhat similar to the art of the reign of the ancient king. Outside the tent were lined luxury cars ranging from several lakhs to crores.

Near the entrance, beauty queens lined up to greet guests, sprinkling flowers and spraying perfume. Once stepped few steps inside, reporters and photographers rushed to the coming businessmen and photographed them in various ways. They asked one or two questions with each business people. Ahana who was standing in the doorway felt proud to see the journalists as she was once a reporter before.

Inside, Vikram Aditya and his entourage made no mistake in treating the guests. Guests would come and sit as their family around those round tables that were set up inside. People felt the extent of the friendship between Vikram Aditya and Thuru was very well visible in their eyes. It is rare to find someone who is not surprised to find their depth of friendship.

Ahana was waiting for her special guest. Yes! Akshadh has arrived. Akshadh came with his wife Dhiya and two children. They were welcomed by Ahana and introduced to Vikram Aditya and Dhruv.

Seeing Vaishali, "How about you, Vaishali? Long time no see" Dhiya said.

"Dhiya madam..." She leaned over Dhiya in exchange of love.

Ahana, Vikram and Dhruv look at Vishali and Dhiya strangely. "Vikram, I have told you before that a female paramedic in Mumbai helps me during the depression right? She is Dhiya Madam. She only helps me to overcome the depression. Then, he is Akshadh Jai! Very good being. He is treating many patients for free. Also, he is an inspiration to many" Vaishali introduced them in deeply. Ahana felt proud of his cousin Akshadh and Dhiya. Dhiya grinned, Akshadh don't forget to admire his wife.

"Really? Super... We welcome you heartfully" Vikram and Dhruv welcomed.

"Nice to see you both in person" Akshadh said.

When Vaishali came back to say something, Dhiya saw the crowd of journalists, photographers and said to Vaishali, "This introduction is enough for us... Thank you Vaishali."

Vaishali said, "Ahana... I never think that you are going to introduce such a gentle people. Thank you Ahana"

"All right. Pleasure is mine, madam" Said Ahana. Then, Ahana took her cousin Akshadh, Dhiya and their children and made them sit next to her.

"Ahana... superb... looking gorgeous" Dhiya said.

"Thank you sister... you looked awesome too" she said and handed the big chocolates to the two children.

"Thanks Aunty..." Both the children said cutely.

Following them, Vidharth Adithya's arrival was a surprise and little unexpected one. Vikram and Dhruv was happy about it. Following him, Rakshita and Siddharth also came there.

The victory ceremony organized by Vikram for his Dhruv was well covered by businessmen and relatives. Vikram Aditya, Dhruv and Vidharth Aditya were all seated on that big stage.

Vikram Adithya opened the ceremony by saying, "I extend my heartfelt thanks to my brother Vidharth, family members, all business and professional friends, their families, office friends for accepting my invitation. I bow my head for setting aside these few hours for coming here no matter how much workloaded. I leave this victory ceremony in your hands. Make your heartful wishes presentable here and make my friend proud of this grand Victory" Vikram stood next to Dhruv with a big happy face.

Everyone send their wishes and prayers to Dhruv.

Meanwhile Vidharth Aditya came forward. Everyone showed interest to hear his speech. Vikram and Dhruv were overjoyed when Vidharth said, "Hello everyone ..." with a small smile scattered his voice over the loudspeaker. Then, he turned slightly and looked at Vikram and Dhruv for a second wished "Congratulations Dhruv." He didn't speak further. Well, everyone expected Vidharth speech but he stopped in few words makes disappointment but Vikram and Dhruv are very happy about it. They thought it was a blessing.

Then he went and sat down in the grant chair which was assigned for him. Rakshita was sitting to his left and Vaishali to his right. Both of them nodded and managed to do something to interrogate him. He sat idle with rough and tough look. Did God placed a big rock instead of his heart?

Following him, Vikram and Dhruv came down. Dhruv and Ahana sat on Vikram's right side while Akshadh's family sat nearer to Ahana.

In the meantime, the invited actor and actresses were cheering the audience on by incorporating a variety of performances such as dance, concert and comedy show. Eye-catching electric lights and stage decoration made today's show even better. The performances took place in such a way that those who came did not know how the time had passed.

Shiva was running in all directions. From time to time, guests were served snacks and refreshments nearer to their seats, as needed.

Following them Akshadh said, "The main reason I come here is to meet these two loving friends... Vikram and Dhruv's friendship is a very beautiful one without any ambiguity. Have Thrishti both of you guys once you both reached home... ha... ha... Iam not telling for fun. It is my genuine words brothers. Congratulations on achieving in your fields, both of you!" Akshadh finished saying that.

Then, at the end of riotous ceremony, Vikram gifted the guest with gold coin designed with Vikram image on one side and Dhruv on the other side. He surprised everyone. Then to the concept of "Go Green; Let's grow a tree and get rain". He gave the tree saplings to the men and the rose plants to the women and sent them off happily.

As a gift of love Vikram gifted with the land that Dhruv longer intends to buy it. There is no doubt that this is the greatest suspense for Dhruv.

Vikram had invited only a few important people to the night party. For the party that night, the women and men came separately, Prominent among men are Vikram, Dhruv, Shiva, and Akshadh. On the women's side Ahana, Rakshita, Vaishali, and Dhiya.

Then, in the midst of the twinkling lights in that dark room, they heard the sound of lub dub songs, Akshadh ~ Dhiya paired up... Rakshita compensates for the heroes in our story and dances, Vaishali pulls Ahana and makes her dance too, "Aunty... we ..." Akshadh's children exclaimed seeing Ahana. Ahana looked aside to see Akshadh and Dhiya. They were already immersed in love. Ahana smiled and joined with the children "Oh dears! Come on let's dance" Vaishali and Ahana mingled with the children.

Then, for dinner, Vikram had arranged for a candlelit night. The clear sky, in which the moon prevails, the stars delight and shine as brightly as they can do it for today. The men sat parallel to women and had their favorite food enjoying the gentle breeze.

"Ahana ... look at the fruit juice ... it should not be like that, then it's time to take care of you." To give that polar voice, they laughed back and forth about what had happened that day. Ahana stared at Vikrama who was smiling towards herself with no other way to fake the pole and stared at her from time to time and smiled.

"Ahana, pick up the fruit juice carefully... it shouldn't be like that had happened in Mumbai, then it's time to take care of you alone" Dhruv chuckled. Everyone laughed back and forth thinking that had happened on that day. Ahana stared at Vikram and Dhruv who were smiling towards her. Rakshita sat idle without an idea as she was unaware of that incident. Akshadh and Dhiya looked at each other.

"Akshadh sir, how is your love life?" Vaishali initiated. "Yes... share your story" asked everyone.

Akshadh looked at Dhiya who sat infront of him for a second and she blushed, "I saw her for the first time in the medical conference held at United States. I fell for her on that day itself still couldn't up! Ha... Ha... Hmm... Then, we faced marriage issues... Even though she liked me, she couldn't confess her love due to the situations. Even if she didn't say, her eyes showed the green signal before she opened up. I decided she was the one for me. The same love continues after marriage, "What about you, Dhiya?" Akshadh asked with curiosity. "Not like that he... he..." she laughed, "Oh .. really? If I had said the same words I wouldn't have food at all in home" he teased her.

"So... Did you lie? Aren't you happy after marriage?" Dhiya's face shrink, Akshadh looked at her and blinked slightly, her smile bloomed again.

When Akshadh said that, Vikram looked at Ahana, Ahana looked at Vikram. At that moment, something that had happened inside, Ahana shifted her gaze at Dhruv and smiled.

"Do you have any affairs Vikram?" Akshadh asked playfully.

"Hmm... Always I had a conflict with a woman but She's not my enemy. I cannot figure out why?" Hardly Vikram push his words out. "Does Vikram is asking about me? Or another woman?" Ahana's mind voice.

"Conflict occurs but not enemy then what is it? We see many conflicts ending in love. As you can understand, if that woman clashes with everyone like you, that is her nature. If the conflict only happens to you, but you both keep talking again and again then it is more likely to end up in love. Love and anger can only be shown to those we love." Replied Akshadh.

Vikram's lips circled with laughter, "Aww! Love? hmm... Then that lightening bolt that often arises in me is love?" She shrugged and looked at Vikram lightly. Her mind voiced, "Nope! Never! Nothing like that!"

Again Akshadh continued, "My small request is If you fall in love with a woman, let them know that love, stand firm and seek the victory flag in love. Do not forget to show love out, of course you will get the same love soon. You will receive the same conflict if you collide with them. But one thing for sure, If he or she didn't have the feelings don't disturb them again. If you leave them and definitely they will value you a lot. You would settle a better place in their heart apart from love."

"Super... Dhruv, keep it in your mind. This request is specially for you andit will help you today," Vaishali recalled his romantic proposal. Rakshita was confused without understanding that.

An hour after their talk, Akshadh family had left.

*****

Vikram was more flustered than Dhuru because his friend was about to introduce his girlfriend today! Where is she? Will he take us somewhere to introduce her? Did he confess his love already to her? Or at this moment? What if she rejects him? Vikram was pinned up by multiple questions. Every passing second was like standing in battlefield without weapon. He send silent prayers to God that the woman should accept his love.

That time also came, and it was only now that Rakshita understood. Fingers crossed! Curiosity was clearly visible in everyone's eyes.

Dhruv, holding that big bouquet in his hands crossed Rakshita, then passed Vaishali and knelt in front of Ahana and said, "Ahana! Will you come in my life as my life partner? I love you Ahana"
