Ammu was sitting in sid's lap playing with his hand. Sana and Mahi stepped down. Everyone's gaze shifted to them. Sid was taken aback by her beauty. His gaze broke when Mahi was about to fall down. Everyone one hurried towards her but sana handled everything before anyone could come to rescue. Sana immediately pulled her hand and gripped it as tight as she could.

Pami maa and rest of the family welcomed Neeti and Shikher. They both met everyone and then met sana. Neeti was quite impressed with her brothers choice. Sana was indeed very beautiful. And top of all was Ammu's banter that took away Neeti's heart. Later the rituals began.
Pami maa:- Ammu putter tu mamu kol aaja putter...
Ammu ran towards baaz he picked her up in his arms.

Everyone was enjoying this cute comic act of baaz and Jay.
Sid turned his face towards sana and saw tears in her eyes. He kept his hand on her and mouthed her to smile. He gently blinked his eyes which actually bought a bright and satisfying smile on her face. He further rubbed her cheeks and cleaned her tears. This was witnessed by none other than our biji. She too smiled hole heartedly and prayed for the happiness of this newly formed couple.
Biji (innerly):- hae mere waheguru edan he meher bnai rakhin... mere bache sada khush rehn... berkut bnai rakhin apni onna sona de utte...
