It was engagement day, both sidharth and Shehnaaz were super excited. Sidharth tried to meet her several times but she refused saying 'My look is a surprise'. Sidharth was sitting on the stage eagerly; fidgeting his fingers when Shehnaaz was bought to the stage. She was looking like an angel in her pastel green lehnga. Sidharth was tadofying his love shamelessly; 'Good enough for you Mr. Khan' said Shehnaaz sarcastically when saw him checking her out. 'Best' he replied. 'So..am I getting the ring? Ya Faizal ko bulana hai?' He teased her. 'Aap best to nahi ho but I will manage' she said with poker face. 'Baby...No darling Itna jhoot aacha nahi hai...waise I don't need clothes to look smartest...but then it's for your private view' he winked. Shehnaaz cheeks turned red 'Allah se dariye...itne besharam hue jaa rahe hai'.
The ceremony went well and everyone retired to their rooms except Khan siblings and Shehnaaz. They were sitting together in Sidharth's room.
Sadiq: Mujhe to abhi bhi yakeen nahi ho raha hai ki, Bhai and Naaz saath mein hai. Allah, meri behen ka khayal rakhna wo khud...khushi khushi jallad ke muh mein jaa rahi hai. He said animated; everyone laughed except Sidharth who glared at him.
Sadiq: Waise bhai destination wedding karo...kissi bade se Mehal ko book karwate hai...ekdum Nawabi Shaadi hogi.
Shehnaaz eyes twinkled on hearing the idea while Sidharth looked at him with bored expression. 'Haan, kitna maaza aayega. Agra mein karte hai...Nikah ke backdrop mein Taj Mahal aayega...How romantic. Sadiq Bhai you are a genius' exclaimed Shehnaaz.
Sidharth: Sahi hai tum dono ka, tum dono ek dusre ko hi genius lagte ho. Taj Mahal makhbara hai Naaz, kaho to tumhari bhi kabra khudwa du....how romantic' he mimicked Shehnaaz.
Shehnaaz: Sahi mein jallad ho aap....Nikah ke pehle hi kabra khudwane ki baat ker rahe.
Sidharth: Abey yaar...tumne gussa hone ki degree li hai kya. He said playfully.
Shehnaaz: Maine nahi aapne boring hone ki degree li hai...aur aap koi wedding destination soch kar hi mujhse baat karna warna jao apni mature Rukhsana se nikah kar lo.
Sajia: Bhai, Maan jao abhi...do din baad to maan hi jaoge..kyu bina wajah 2 din waste karne hai, karna to last mein iski hi pasand ka hai.
Sajia teased him while Shehnaaz glared at Sidharth.
Sidharth: Ok, meri maa. Agra nahi, chalo Hyderabad ya Rajasthan mein karte hai. Happy now
He said pressing her small palms in his; he was smiling while looking at her; she smiled back.
Sadiq: Amazingggg....He really is whipped.

They were back in Lucknow; everyone in hospital congratulated the couple.
Rukhsana: Congratulation Shehnaaz and I am sorry. I had known him and liked him for a very long time so became selfish. Never thought I would come across as obsessed. I am really happy for both of you, you both are lucky.
Shehnaaz: Thank you and I am sorry too. I should have understood your feeling, I hope its water under the bridge; we can become friends now.
They both smiled and let go of their grudges.

Rizwan's Abbu Suleiman and Rizwan were furious because they had their wings plucked by Sidharth.
Rizwan: Abbu, ye directors jo subah shaam aapke aage peeche ghumte the woh kaise humne Lucknow se bahar bhejne ko tayar ho gaye?
Suleiman: Beta, humne jitna socha tha usse jyada chalak nikla Sidharth. Pata bhi nahi chala usne kab sabko apne side kar liya, jaroor kuch lalach diya hoga. Waise bhi ye sab nashukre hai, jidhar haddi daalo udhar ho lete hai
Rizwan: Par ab hum log kya karein. Chote chachu bhi ab Sidharth ke saath hi hai. Lucknow se door gaye to kuch din mein pura nikal ke phenk dega ye Sidharth humne.
Suleiman: Pareshan mat ho beta, abki aisa dao khelnge ki Sidharth kya uske 7 pushte bhi humse ye business nahi le payengi. Par humne nikah khatm hone ka intezaar karna chahiye, ek saath Salim aur Parveen dono pariwar ko nikal phekenge.
Rizwan and Suleiman smiled wickedly after discussing their conspiracy

Sidharth and Shehnaaz were sitting in his balcony for their night ritual with coffee mugs in their hand.
Sidharth: How was your day?
Shehnaaz: It was good. Rukhsana ji se baat hui (Sidharth frowned hearing it). Dont worry, congratulate kar rahi thi. I think she is over you now. What about you...aapka din kaisa tha?
Sidharth: Similar, mujhe Rohan ne gaali di humare baare mein naa batane pe. Bol raha tha tumhe uncomfotable kiya usne flirt karke.
Shehnaaz laughed out loud, 'Unko keh dena humne enjoy kiya tha; coz hume bhi kissi ko hurt karna tha 😜'
Sidharth strangled her neck playfully by his arms 'Tum mere pyaar ka najayaz fayda nahi le rahi?'.
'Nope, everything is fair in love and war or everything is fair when love is war' replied Shehnaaz with mischievous smile.
Sidharth just smiled at her antics: I have invited my friends from US. They are planning for a bachelor party in Goa. Waise to tumhe invite nahi karna chahiye but mujhe sure hai tum mujhe akela jaane nahi dogi so I am booking for you as well.
Shehnaaz: Humne nahi jaana...aapke friends accent mein bolenge...humare sir ke upar se jayega.
Sidharth: Soch lo Naaz, American goriya hai...Goa hai...Sand, sun, beach, bikini, babes...kuch hua to don't complain 😎
Naaz: NOOOOOO....hum chal rahe hai....khabardar aap akele gaye to
Sidharth smiled at his possessive fiancé while she questioned him: Aur hum honeymoon pe kahan jayenge?
Sidharth nuzzled his nose in her cheeks 'Kahin bhi chalo...bas room se view aacha ho...I will not let you out of the room'. He said huskily biting her earlobe. He pushed her on the balcony bed and hovered on her; He was placing kisses on her jawline.
Shehnaaz blushed: Greece???
Sidharth hmmmed; 'Sidharthhhh' she said 'bolo naa...greece??'. 'Whatever...just don't disturb me right now' and continued with his sweet torture. Shehnaaz felt shivers down her spine when his lips touched her neck; unable to control, a moan escaped her mouth. Sidharth smiled on seeing his effect on her and stopped after giving her few visible love bites 'I have marked you mine...36 days to go...be ready I won't stop then' he said winking, leaving behind breathless Shehnaaz who was still in daze after encountering her first sensual proximity.
