Next Morning

"Its not only Sona's wedding, its mine too. Why cant I come?" Jai complained.

"Its both of your wedding but only Sona is gonna wear the mehendi na? No boys allowed in the Mehendi Ceremony. Thats the rule." Priyanka told her son.

"But Mom-"

"Sorry son...I cant do anything in this."

"Thats not fair Mom!"

"Life's not fair." Meera said in a teasing voice making Jai glare at her

"I have a question." Ishaan spoke up. "Whose team will Di be on?"

"What do you mean?" Om asked.

"I mean will Di be on the bride's side or groom's side?"

"Duffer, Meera is our sister so she will be on the groom's side obviously." Jai replied.

"But she is also my friend....and she promised that she will be on my side." Sona said.

"Guys...lets let Meera decide." Dev looked to Meera.

"Cant I be on both the teams?"

"No!"

"Arre but....I cant decide!"

"Too bad!" Jai replied with a smile. At that moment Meera noticed Ranveer bringing KD in on a wheelchair.

"Fine...you wont agree na? Now whatever happens, you can't blame me."

"Whats gonna happen?" Dev whispered to Alia.

"You'll see." Alia responded with a knowing smile. Dev just looked confused.

"Whats going on here?" Dadi asked.

"KD!"

"Dadi!" Everyone went and hugged her.

"Dadi...what are you doing here?" Anika asked.

"Well I couldnt miss Jai's wedding...so I came." Dadi replied.

"Actually Bhabhi I talked to the Doctor. He said that as long as Dadi gets complete rest and takes her medicine on time, we can bring her home." Ranveer replied.

Meera quickly put on a sad face before going to sit down beside Dadi.

"Arre...what happened my child?"

"KD! See na!" Meera complained and laid her head on dadi's lap. "I was just saying that I want to be on both the groom & bride's side. Becase if Jai is my brother, Sona is also my friend right? Also, I promised her and its not wrong to keep your promises right?"

"No... of course it isnt wrong." Dadi replied.

"KD...you dont mind if Im on both teams right?" Meera pouted cutely.

"Why would I mind? You do whatever you want to." Dadi lovingly ran her hand through Meera's hair. Everyone else looked on in surprise.

"Oh My Mata! What just happened? Mummyji agreed so easily?" Pinky asked.

"Exactly...Ma is usually strict about these stuff..." Tej replied.

"Thank you KD! I love you!" Meera hugged Dadi.

"I love you too, meri bachi..." Dadi smiled.

"What! But Kd-" Dadi grabbed Jai's ear and pulled him down, "Ah-ow! OW!"

"Who is the elder here?"

"OW! Ow! You are KD!"Jai replied, flinching in pain.

"Yes...I am.And I am saying, Meera will be on both sides." Dadi let go of Jai's ear. With a smirk, Meera got up and walked to Jai.

"You-"

"Im so sorry my dear brother...but I told you, you cant blame me for what happens next. If you wuld have just agreed then this wouldnt happen na?" Meera took her arm and propped it up on Jai's shoulder.

"See?" Alia whispered to Dev, "Getting your way is a talent...which Meera is an expert at."

**********

"Put more flowers there!" Anika pointed to a pillar. The servant places some more flowers. "No not there, a bit higher."

The servant pointed a bit above and Anika just shook her head.

"Leave it, come down....you wont get it." Once the servant came down, Anika grabbed flowers, "Ill do this, you go decorate some place else."

"Okay Ma'am." The servant then left. Anika held the basket of flowers in her hands and climbed up the ladder. She was decorating when she took another step up and slipped.

"Aah!" Anika screamed and closed her eyes in fear. When she didnt feel the ground, Anika opened her eyes and saw that Shivaay had caught her. Shivika were in a eyelock for a few minutes while the flowers that were in Anika's hand showered down on them.

"YWe have people to do this, why are you doing it?" Shivaay asked as he let Anika get down.

"You should know, I dont get servants to do my every work." Anika replied. Before she could leave, Shivaay wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to his chest.

"Shivaay!" Anika gasped, her heart racing from how close she was to him. With his other hand, Shivaay reached forward and slowly started picking out the flowers that were stuck in Anika's hair.

"You dont make servants do your work but you could at least take care of yourself. What if you would have fallen?"

"So? I would have just gotten hurt...its not like I would have died-"

"ANIKA!" Shivaay grabbed her arms tightly, "Dont ever say that again!"

Seeing the fear in Shivaay's eyes, Anika got concerned and gently placed her hands on his cheeks, "Shivaay...what happened?"

"When...whenever people used to tell me that 'Anika is no more'....'Anika is no more', I felt like someone was stabbing my heart a thousand times." Shivaay said, his voice breaking. Taking a deep breath, he held Anika's face. "So...dont even joke about dying....NEVER."

"I wont.." Anika got emotional seeing Shivaay like this. Shivaay closed his eyes and cleared his throat, letting go of Anika's arm.

"Anyways...I came to say...today is the mehendi ceremony,So dont forget to get the S..." Shivaay took Anika's hand and traced a S on her palm making her shiver. "..from my name written on your palm."

"Yeah..." Anika replied still staring into Shivaay's khanji eyes, then she realized what she said and pulled her hand away from Shivaay, "One minute...who told you I will write your name on my hand?"

"Then whose name will you write? The neighbour's? Im your husband so my name will be written na." Shivaay stated and then walked away.

"I wont write your name!" Anika called after him.

"We'll see." Shivaay replied. As he left, Anika smiled to herself.

"You are melting." Anika spun around and saw past Anika leaning against the pillar.

"Wha-its not like that." Anika stammered and turned away. Past Anika teleported infront of Anika stopping her.

"Anika...Anika...Anika, when will you understand...lying to me means lying to yourself. Shivaay is not a tenant that you can throw him out of your life when you want...he is your love, and he lives in here." Past Anika pointed to Anika's heart. "No matter how much you try, you cant get Shivaay out of here."

"No I-"

"Ma?" Meera walked upto Anika, "Who are you talking to?"

Anika looked back to where past Anika was standing and saw that she was gone, "Noone...I was just checking the decorations. I had to do everything in the end...Shivaay hired so many people but not one is useful!"

"Its nice Ma." Meera laughed.

"You havent gotten ready yet?"

"Haan, Im just going" Meera replied. "You?"

"Yeah, me too...lets go." Anika & Meera then went to their rooms to get ready.

**************

"Guys this is so not done. We are all dressed up and we arent even allowed in the mehendi function." Pranav complained.

"Yeah, its my future wife's mehendi ceremony...I should be allowed." Jai replied.

"Lets take the girls' help." Kabir said as he noticed the girls were walking by the room.

"They wont agree" Dev said.

"Then we will convince them." Kabir poked his head out of the room and called out to the girls. "Girls!"

"Hey....mehendi function is about to start. If you need anything, tell us now, we will be busy later." Tanvi told everyone as they entered the room.

"Pls get us entry into the function." Pranav asked.

"NO!" All the girls said together.

"Baby PLSSS!" Jai begged. Sona looked like she was about to agree when Meera nudged her and shook her head.

"Sorry Baby, no means no."

"Tanu..." Pranav stepped forward.

"No!" Tanvi said.

"Please! What will we do here all alone? Pls pls pls." Ishaan asked.

"Okay." Aarya pipped up.

"Aarya!" Tanvi & Krishna rebuked their sister.

"What! Ishaan asked so cutely...how could I refuse?" Aarya said defending herself.

"Like I did." Tanvi said.

"And I did." Sona added.

"Guys pls...We'll get bore. Meera, Pihu, you guys are our sisters, cant you do this for our sake?" Dev said looking at Meera & Pihu.

(The girls's outfit below)

"One sec." Meera turned to the other girls and whispered among themselves then turned back to the boys, "Okay....We will get you guys into the mehendi function."

"Yes!"

"Yeah!

"Thanks Meera!"

"But! You guys need a disguise...we may have agreed but the parents wont."

"What kind of disguise?" Pranav asked.

"Idea!" Ishaan yelled out. "We can wear sarees and go!"

"What!" The boys yelled.

"I think its a good idea." Aarya said. Ishaan grinned while everyone else rolled their eyes.

"You think all of Ishaan's ideas are good ideas." Dev joked.

"No actually...its not a bad idea." Meera spoke up, "Sarees will cover everything...it might just work."

"But..where will we get sarees from?" Kabir asked.

"Ma, Chachi, Maasi, Bua...Dadi...etc etc." Meera said, "We can literally borrow sarees from anyone."

"Right...so we will get the sarees, you guys wait here." Sona told the boys. They then left the room and came back a few minutes later with the sarees. The girls watched amused as the boys each picked a saree and looked at each other confused.

"Alright boys...come, we'll help you wear it." Meera took the saree from Kabir's hand. While the girls did the same with the others. She took one end of the saree and handed it to kabir. "Tuck this in."

"I thought you said, you'll help." Kabir smirked. Without looking away, Meera pulled him closer and tucked the saree end into his pants. Kabir's eyes widened and he looked around in shock while it was now Meera's turn to smirk.

"If you were trying to tease me..." Meera whispered in Kabir's ears, "You'll have to try harder than that."

***********

"Where are the guys?" Sona whispered as she sat on the center bench getting her mehendi done.

"Waiting...as soon as more guests come, they will also come. It will be easier for them to blend in." Meera whispered back.

"What are you girls talking about?" Anika walked upto the girls.

"Nothing Ma, wont you wear mehendi?" Meera changed the subject before Anika could suspect a thing.

"Later, first you apply." Anika smiled and walked away. At that moment a few people walk in behind some aunties covered from head to toe with sarees.

"There they are!" Tanvi pointed them out.

"Guys...did we give them those sarees?" Alia asked.

"I dont know, I didnt really pay attention...but yeah, that is Ma's old saree. Anyways after going through so much trouble putting the sarees on, why would they change it?" Meera answered.

"Yeah...I guess you're right. Lets apply mehendi then we can go sit with them." Alia said.

"Bhabhis....did you see those ladies?" Bhavya asked as she walked up to Gauri & Anika.

"Haan...they just came, why?"

"Gauri bhabhi...dont they seem a bit weird to you? Why did they wear the sarees like that?"

"Bhavya, you will never stop your policegiri na?" Anika laughed, "They must have come from Dadi's village, thats why they are completly covered."

"No bhabhi..its not just that, you see that saree, I feel like I have that exact same one."

"Yeah so? They must have gotten it from the same store. There can be more than one of the same saree." Gauri replied.

"Ek minute....that other lady is wearing a saree just like one of my old ones." Anika spoke up.

"See what I mean!"

"But Gauri is also right Bhavya, people can have the same saree."

"But both? No, something is fishy. Ill go check"

"Arre Bhavya wait..."

"Bhavya!" Gauri & Anika tried stopping Bhavya.

"Di..." Pihu whispered to Meera, "Look...Chachi going straight towards the bhaiyyas and Ishaan!"

"Oh no..." Meera quickly got up and ran to Bhavya. "Chachi! Didnt you apply mehendi yet?"

"No I was just-"

"Chachi, you can do work later...first come and put on mehendi." Meera pulled Bhavya to the mehendi artist, "Aunty...pls apply a nice design for my Chachi."

"But-"

"How is this design? You can write Rudra Chachu's name right here." Meera distracted Bhavya.

"Now its confirmed, Bhavya was right." Anika said as she watched her daughter.

"What do you mean Jiji?"

"I mean, My daughter is hiding something, for some reason she doesnt want Bhavya to talk to the ladies. Come, lets go talk to them ourselves." Gauri followed behind Anika. Meera who was busy distracting Bhavya finally noticed them and got up quickly to stop them.

"Ma, Maasi-" She froze as Anika whipped the ghunghat off one of the ladies and looked surprised. Everyone else stood up looking equally surprised.

"Sid? What are you doing here?" Mallika questioned seeing her husband. Gauri turned to the person next to Sid and took the ghunghat off him.

"Bade Bhaiyya?" Shivaay & Sid looked at everyone embarrassed.

"You guys reveal yourselves as well." Anika told the others. One by one they took of the veil and revealed, Om, Rudra, Aditya & Sahil.

"Papa? You?"

"You didnt know about this?" Anika asked her daughter. Meera shook her head.

"No Ma."

"See Bhabhis...I knew something was up." Bhavya said.

"Will somebody tell whats going on here? What are you all doing here?" Nandini stood there with her hands on her waist.

"Ill tell." Sahil raised his hand.

*Flashback*

R: I have a great idea!

Shiv: What?

R: We can wear sarees and go. Nobody will know!

O (smacks Rudra's head): You crazy? How can we wear sarees?

Sa: But what will be do sitting here? Lets go na Om jiju. Pls

A: They are right, its only for a little while, we will go and then come back. Nobody will figure it out.

Sid: Im in.

*Flashback Ends*

"Im not even surprised." Bhavya replied, "Of course this is Rudy's idea"

"Wait...Meeru if you didnt know about this then why were you stopping Bhavya from coming here?" Anika turned to Meera.

"I...actually I...wasnt stopping her... I..."

"Who are they?" Neha pointed to the entrance where 5 more people were coming dressed in sarees just like Shivaay and the others. Hearing Neha, they turned back and started running away only to be blocked by Jhanvi & Pinky.

"Choti Maji...Maji...keep them there, we are comingi." Gauri said as she & Anika walked towards them. Rudra looked confused and started counting.

"One, two, three...four..five, six....all of us are here. Who are they?"

"The boys..." Meera responded guiltily.

"What?"

Anika & Gauri revealed the boys and brought them to where the dads were standing.

"Now what are you boys doing here?" Bhavya questioned.

"Bhavya Mami...actually we really wanted to attend the mehendi function, so Meera & the girls helped us." Jai replied.

"And who's idea was it to wear the sarees?" Mallika asked.

"Mine!" Ishaan proudly announced.

"Mine too!" Rudra smiled and high fived with his son.

"Rudra! Ishaan!" Their smiles dropped and they looked down as Bhavya rebuked them.

"Shivaay...they are kids but what was your excuse?"

"Ma...lets just leave it. Now that everyone is here, lets let them enjoy." Anika said.

"Yes Dadi pls...it will be more fun." Meera begged. Pinky & Jhanvi looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay...you can stay." Pinky agreed.

"But we have a condition." Jhanvi said.

"What condition?" Dev asked.

"There is a wedding and no dancing or singing? Thats not right...especially when we have our rockstar. So what do you say Kabir?" Jhanvi replied. Everyone sat down, Sona continued to get her mehendi done while Jai sat down beside her & Meera sat on the other side.

Gali de gunde..

On one side danced, Pranav, Dev, Ishaan & Sahil on the other side there was Tanvi, Alia, Aarya & Neha.

Oh.. ohhh..

The boys separated and from behind them stepped Kabir singing.

Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna

Kabir starts dancing with the boys behind him.

Lene tujhe o gori

Kabir points to Sona.

Aayenge tere sajna

Then points to Jai while everyone claps along.

Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna
Oh.. ho.. oh.. ho..

Kabir & the boys continue to dance while Sona motions for Meera to join. Meera shakes her head in a no but Krishna & Pihu push her into the center.

Oh.. aa..
Sahra sajake rakhna
Chehra chhupake rakhna
Sahra sajake rakhna
Chehra chhupake rakhna
Yeh dil ki baat apne
Dil mein dabake rakhna

Alia, Aarya, Tanvi & Neha all join Meera as she starts singing. Although he has heard Meera sing before, Kabir still looked on in awe.

Sahra sajake rakhna
Chehra chhupake rakhna

Girls dance.

Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna

Boys dance.

Hoye.. hoye.. hoye..
Hoye.. hoye.. hoye..

(Music)

The boys & girls have a small dance off.

Ud udke teri zulfein
Karti hain kya ishaare

Kabir walks to Meera, flicks her hair & winks at her.

Dil thaamke khade hain
Aashiq sabhi kanware

He dramatically places his hands on his heart while Meera laughs at him.

Chhup jaayein saari kudiyaan
Ghar mein sharamke maare

Meera takes her dupatta and holds it infront of her like a screen and peeks through it, acting shy.

Gao mein aa gaye hain
Paagal shehar ke saare

Teasingly, she takes her finger to her head to show that the boys are crazy.

Nazrein jhukake rakhna
Daaman bachake rakhna
Nazrein jhukake rakhna
Daaman bachake rakhna

Kabir closely circles around Meera staring into her eyes.

Lene tujhe o gori
Aayenge tere sajna

Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna

He joins the boys and they dance.

Sahra sajake rakhna
Chehra chhupake rakhna

Girls dance.

(Music)

The boys pull their respective girls towards them.

Oh.. ho.. oh.. ho.. aa..

They dance & circle eachother, while Meera & Kabir get lost staring at eachother (Just like in the video).

Main ek jawaan ladka
Tu ek haseen ladki

Kabir shows his muscles of and then points to Meera.

Ye dil machal gaya toh
Mera kusoor kya hai

He rubs his hand on his chest & leans towards Meera.

Rakhna tha dil pe kaabu
Ye husn toh hai jaadu

Meera playfully pushes Kabir back & the boys catch him then shows her body.

Jaadu hi chal gaya to
Mera kusoor kya hai

She shrugs her shoulder.

Rasta hamara takna
Darwaaza khula rakhna
Rasta hamara takna
Darwaaza khula rakhna

Kabir & the boys show a pathway with their hands and then act like they are opening doors.

Lene tujhe o gori
Aayenge tere sajna

Kabir points to Sona & then Jai again.

Kuchh aur ab na kehna
Kuchh aur ab na karna
Kuchh aur ab na kehna
Kuchh aur ab na karna
Yeh dil ki baat apne
Dil mein dabake rakhna

Meera sings while Sona & Jai are looking at eachother with love.

Mehndi laga rakhna
Doli saja ke rakhna

Boys dance.

Sahra sajake rakhna
Chehra chhupake rakhna

Girls dance.

Shava hoyyi.. hoyyi.. hoyyi.. (Repeat 7 times)
Shava..

Everyone gets up & starts dancing. Meera goes towards her parents and pulls them in. They start dancing for Meera's happiness but stay away from eachother, so Meera while dancing "accidentally" pushes Anika towards Shivaay who catches her.
