Morning! All woke up and after completing our morning routines we walked for breakfast. All the house workers were doing their duty. Breakfast was kept in the table. Today's event is our 50th project. So we brought sweets for everyone. Vikram uncle and Aishwarya aunt came from their bedroom, dressed up for their office. They sat in the dining table alongwith us. Their parents also joined us. Ishwa also came downstairs and sat with us. We had a wonderful chat during the breakfast time. From their replies I got to know that they really did like me, even the grandparents there considered me as their granddaughter. That's so sweet!

After breakfast, grandparents were at the pool area. Ishwa came alongwith us to check everything. Vikram uncle and Aishwarya aunt went to office, they would get back by noon.

We tested everything infront of Ishwa and he was impressed by the way we did the things. Good news! He handed us the whole payment with his parents permission and they too signed in our quality proving certificate.

By noon, Vikram uncle and Aishwarya aunt was back from office. They went to become fresh. Then we all had lunch. After that all were much busy preparing themselves for the event. That's when Ishwa went to pick few of their guests, I guess, because he got in the car and drove off.

Soon few of their close relatives arrived. Then came their family friends and the first among that group to arrive was Jaganath uncle, Sitara aunt and Akshi with grandparents. On seeing me, grandma came and hugged me firstly. That's when Ishwa drove back in and parked the car. From his car one man stepped out from the seat next to the driver's and the either sides of the car's back doors opened. There stepped out a girl and a women. Woah! That's my parents and my sister. I ran to them and greeted them, then I took them to Jagu uncle and family and introduced each other. Jagu uncle was praising me so much before my family. Then my mother walked to her friend, Aishwarya and then our family turned out to be much friendly. My parents and Ishwa's parents were talking very much seriously. Aali came with me. All were much delighted and the event was about to began. I ran to Ishwa, two minutes before the event and as he looked into my eyes, I paused and said, "Thank you so much for all that you have done."
Ishwa smiled and when I was about to walk away, he asked, "Don't you say sorry?"
I turned and replied, "I do say when needed. Why?"
Ishwa answered, "Firstly thinking of our first appointment, then what happened at the parking area. You denied to tell your name to a business tycoon. Then at the park you didn't reply for my questions. Again, for not giving the event to WD. Then in another meeting at the hotel... and you know there's so more that you have done to say sorry. But you have said thank you wherever it was necessary. Pretty impressed with your character!"
I didn't reply, I walked away to the stage area for volunteering as the event began. That's when a car drive in and Ishwa's parents asked him to welcome the guests as the event began. I looked at him, from the car stepped out Ms. Tara Neetu Kaur and Mr. Roshan Range Haswant. Ishwa was meeting them for the first time and so he made them sit and then he sat with them. The lighting, sounds, graphics, project display, food and the total organising was loved by all.

The event began with speeches and welcome notes, then the event had a cake cutting, games, food and desserts, clicking photos, projects names and announced their 100th project with Jagu uncle, dj pool party etc. In midst of all this Neetu was flirting with Ishwa. The best part was announcing Ishwa as the CEO of WillSun Engineering. He was made to sit on the throne which was surrounded by three sides of glass wall, after rising the crystal bead curtains and then he was crowned. I and team Iksa was called for a photo with Ishwa's parents too. Then we had a family photo, for that my parents, Aali, me and Ishwa and Ishwa's parents stood together. Roshan was already staring at me as I smiled and paused for the photo, because he never knew I could do all this. Roshan wanted to bring back me to WD now and that was clear from his face. After our 'friend like family' photo, Vikram uncle pulled out the cap of the wine bottle and began celebrations. He poured it to a glass, then the waiters provided a glass of wine to everyone. Uncle tapped with a spoon on the glass to derive his guests attention. He began, "Everything has went so well. Thank you to the event management, team Iksa. Their story till here is amazing and they are very hardworking, united, determined and a very good team. Firstly the owner of Iksa, Ishi approached us asking for this opportunity, but she didn't have the customer qualified certificate because she didn't organise any big events till that day. After that my son Ishwa rejected her, but my son for no reason... Don't know why... usually he doesn't give chances like that... But he gave her another chance. Now she's a big event organiser who has already began getting so many offers all because she arranges events in the way we wish it to be. Iksa is for all to celebrate by creating events of their dream and it is run by Ishika Rai Dhwaj, my friend's daughter, we didn't know it first, but now we know she's a sweet heart. My daughter! She makes everyone fall in love with her." My parents spoke a few words about me and then Aishwarya aunt continued, "On this beautiful auspicious occasion created by Ishi for us, we and her parents announces that Ishika Rai Dhwaj is going to be the daughter in law of our Taj family." I paused and my mom took me a side and told me the things. But how could all this happen? Suddenly Ishwa was called to the stage and to click another photo, he was made to stand on my side. I whispered to Ishwa, "Sorry!" After the photo we got down and he asked, "Was that sorry for all that you have done or for trapping me in you?" I knocked him with my elbow as the guests were looking at us. He laughed and immediately hugged me, "I am sorry!", He whispered when a roller-coaster of different emotions rod through me.
