Ashwin fisted his hand as he watched Sivaangi exchange rings with Tarun. She turned around to look at the photographer posing with a happy smile on her face. 

Rohit shook a lost Ashwin and told him to go to stage with the rest of them to wish their friend. Left with no choice, he walked towards the podium to wish the newly betrothed. 

S: Hey guys!! Thank you all so much for coming. Tarun, this my team. Rohit, Sindhu, Meenakshi, Vishali, Bryan and this is my best friend, Ashwin.

Tarun: Nice to meet you all. Sivu has told me all about you guys. Ashwin, I have heard so much about you. She said you helped her pick the engagement ring. I love it. Thank you so much. 

A: Pleasure is mine. Congrats to you both.

T: Thanks man!

Sivaangi gave Ashwin a quick hug.

S: Ashwin, thank you so much for everything. You are truly my best friend. 

He had hoped for her to be in a loveless marriage but it broke him to see this charming young man besotted with his radiant bride. As he stood next to Sivaangi for the group photograph, Tarun put his arm around Sivaangi with his fingers on her bare waist asserting ownership over his woman. Ashwin gritted his teeth with an urge to murder him right there.

With one last look at the happy couple, he walked away from the stage having vowed to break this legal arrangement and make her his no matter what.
