"Haye nazar na lage '' Raavi squealed as she saw Anita in her bridal outfit. "Aaj toh aap sab se zyada khubsoorat dikh rahe ho di! Hardik jiju dekhenge toh behos ho jayenge!"
"Ho Raavi! Tu toh bolti thi ki Somnath ki sabse sundar ladki tu hai. Toh aaj yeh kya keh rahi hai?" Anita chortled.
"Waise toh Somnath ki sabse sundar ladki mein hoon... par aaj ke din aap ko Somnath ki sabse zyada sundar ladki hone ka haq hai! Akhir aapki shaadi jo hai'' She giggled as she hugged her sister with affection. Raavi suddenly heard the sound of band baaja and jumped with excitement. She ran towards the window and saw the baarat approaching the wedding venue.
"Aapka dulha aagaya Anita di!"

"Haan Dhara bhabi meine sherwani pehenli hai! Haan meine naha liya hai!" Shiva replied as he hurriedly locked Pandya Niwas and left for the wedding venue. He was supposed to leave with the rest of the family but due to an emergency that occurred at the store, he had to stay back.
When he finally arrived at the wedding location, the wedding rituals had already begun. As he tried to search for Dhara, he saw his childhood nemesis, Mami Ki Behen Ki Beti, laughing her heart away at a joke that one of her friends had cracked. Only her face could be seen from where he stood, but even that was enough for his mood to go south. He rolled his eyes and once again searched for Dhara.
"Shiva hum idhar hai!" Dhara yelled as she saw her confused devar walking aimlessly around the vicinity.
Shiva's face brightened and a warm smile spread across his face. He walked toward his family and sat down.
"Wah Shiva! Iss white chickenkari sherwani mein toh tu hero lag raha hai! Mein toh almost faint hogaya tha tujh ko dekh kar mere bhai,'' Krish yelled with a hearty smile.
"Eh nautanki tu shaadi pe focus kar na! Mujhe kyu dekh raha hai?" Shiva blurted in an annoyed tone.
"Ab mein tujhe compliment bhi nahi de sakta kya??" Krish made a pouty face. "Raavi sahi bolti hai! Tujhse baat karna bekar hai!" Krish crossed his arms and frowned.
"Haan toh jaa na us chipkali ke pass! Yeha kya khada hai,'' Shiva retorted with vigour. The mention of her name made him realise that the Chudail hadn't approached him yet, even though it had been a good fifteen minutes since he arrived. On a normal day, she would've pestered him by now. He looked at the spot where he had seen her giggle with her Chipkali friends but he found her absent. Shiva had always hated her presence but the lack of her presence made him equally if not more, disorientated.

Raavi had in fact seen Shiva. She saw him sitting with his family and wanted to go up to him and annoy him as usual but she controlled herself. She knew that this was a big day for her sister so she purposely decided to stay at a distance from Shiva so the wedding atmosphere wouldn't be disturbed by their squabbles.

Shiva was walking toward the banquet hall when saw some of his friends at a far off corner.
"Aree, tum log yaha?" Shiva questioned the group of boys who sat in a gang-like manner as they occupied a decent amount of seats.
"Haan Shiva bhai, humein Dev aur Krish ne bulaya!" One of the members responded.
"Waise tum log yaha kyu bethee ho? Udhaar mere saath bethon." Shiva suggested as he pointed towards where he was planning on sitting.
"Sorry Shiva bhai. Hum yaha kuch important kaam kar rahe hai so we can't move," Rahul murmured.
