The next evening:

"Maa, let it be na. I am just going to a have dinner with him. That's all. I will wear one of my anarkali suit na? What's the problem?" Swara said in whinned tone.

"Oh god, what should I do with my daughter?" Shomi shook her head unbelievably.

"Swara, you are going on a dinner date for with him. It's first time and you should look different. Just wear this, you will look perfect. It's was you only na who thought to wear this, then why are you saying no, now?" Shomi said in convincing tone.

"Maa but.. won't it look a bit over? I mean what if it makes the situation awkward and uncomfortable. Maa, you know na he is still trying to accept things and I don't want to rush anything on him." Swara said in not so sure tone.

"Swara, it's just a saree. You are talking like I am advising you to wear a short dress." Shomi said with chuckle.

"Maa, don't tease me please." Swara said making face and sat on the bed.

Shomi smiled and sat beside her. She cupped her face gently.

"I understand everything dear. But if he will get uncomfortable with such  a small thing then how will accept the future with you? I am happy that slowly things are getting better. Make it normal Swara. Just like any couple who are leading to start a new life together. Your and Sanskar's lives are not different. Keep things normal between yourselves. There shouldn't be any space of awkwardness between you two. Share what you feel and do what you want." Shomi said.

Swara looked at her.

"Are you sure maa? Saree on dinner date? Actually the very first date of my life." Swara asked nervously.

"I am pretty sure. My daughter will look like an angel. So, don't think much and wear this. I will help you." Shomi said.

Swara thought a bit. Yeah, she thought to wear saree after spending last two days in confusion of what she should wear? She wanted to look different, not dressed up in anarkali suits like their casual meets or site visit day. Finally, she decided to go with saree but then she immediately jerk the idea thinking what if it look over? What if he didn't like it?

"Ok Maa. I will get ready." Swara said giving a smile but small nervousness is still shown on her face about his reaction.

Shomi noticed it but she didn't said anything.

"Hmm. Anyways, when is Sanskar coming to pick? Did you ask him?" Shomi asked.

"Yeah, he messaged me that he will be here around 7:30 pm." Swara said and suddenly her eyes caught the wall clock and she said.

"Oh no!! It's 7:07 p.m. already. What should I do?" Swara said in anxious tone.

"You can't change Swara. You always rush in last minutes. Go and get ready fast." Shomi said unbelievably at her daughter's habit.

After sometime,
Sanskar came to Gadodia mansion. He had already met Shekhar and Shomi and  they blessed him. He knew Swara must have already told them, still he asked for their consent to take their daughter out like a gentleman. Shekhar smiled and said that he trusts him with his daughter. Sanskar gave him a small nod when he got a call. He excused himself. Due to network issue, he came out of the entrance door and talked tot he person.

After a quick conversation, he disconnected the call and turned around only to get awestruck to find a most beautiful girl in front of him. She was wearing a plain wine color saree with black border line and black sleeveless blouse. Her pallu was elegantly pinned and dropped from one side of shoulder, and her hair was left open. A beautiful pair of earrings was enhancing her beauty. Her face was glowing with minimal touch up. She looked so graceful and enchanting.
