"Kanya ko bulaye" pandit ji said and Manik looked up and he was dumbfounded by the beauty of Akshita, Akshita looked up and saw Manik with a loving look in his eyes
'Looking handsome Mr khadoos' Akshita thought and quickly looked down blushing as she saw Manik's gaze on her
'Looking beautiful soon to be Mrs Malhotra' Manik thought

Kartik was holding Akshita's hands, Manik held out his hands for her and Kartik looked at him and smiled patting his back and gave Akshu's hands to Manik

(I am skipping the marriage part)

"Aaj se aap dono pati-patni hue, ab aap log bado ke aashirvaad le" pandit ji said and Manik stood up giving his hands to Akshita, she stood up and they went to take blessings from pandit ji first and then they went to Dev and Jaya, then badi dadi, then choti dadi and chote dadu, then they went to Raj and Shreya who hugged Akshu happily saying "finally tum meri bahu ban gayi" making everyone smile, then they went to Naksh and Kirti who hugged them and then went to gayu who wiped her tears off and hugged them, then they went to Kartik who was having tears in his eyes seeing his and Naira's chotu sherni all grown up into a beautiful lady who got married today but he knew she was in safe hands, he blessed them and hugged his princess and then Manik saying "take care, khud ka bhi aur meri beti ka bhi" and Manik nodded smiling a little, then they went to Veer and Khushi who hugged them happily, Arav came to them and hugged Akshu saying "finally Akshu humare ghar aarahi hai"

"Arav, bhabhi hai tumhari" Shreya said

"Arey but she is younger to me" Arav said

"Lekin rishte mein tumhare bade bhai ki biwi hai toh wo tumse rishte mein badi hui isliye bhabhi bula, samjha?" Shreya said

"Okay" Arav said acting sad

"It's okay Arav tum mujhe Akshu bula sakte ho ab bhi" Akshu said as she saw his sad face

"Arey beta wo natak kar raha hai" Shreya said as she knows her son's play very well

"Mom" Arav whined

"Chup kar, accha ab thodi der mein vidaai hone wali hai...." Shreya said and her voice fade away

whereas the scene shifts to a dark basement

"Boss, hume khabar mili hai ki Manik Malhotra ki shaadi ho gayi" a man said

"Ladki kon hai?" The other man asked

"Pata nahi Sir lekin us ladki ka Singhanias ke saat koi toh connection hai" the first man said

"Interesting, very interesting" the second man smirked

"Ab khel mein maza aayega, ab main lagaunga ek teer se do nishane" he said with a smirk

Akshu took out her mumma's photo frame,"I miss you" she whispered and hugged the frame close to her

"Akshu" Kartik entered the room, Akshu quickly wiped her tears

"Mumma-beti ki baate ho rahi hai, personal talks han?" Kartik said sitting beside Akshu

"Papa, I'll miss you so much" Akshu hugged him

"I'll miss you too baccha, Akshu aapki mumma yahan nhi hai aur mujhe ye bhi pata hai main Naira ki jagah kabhi nhi le sakta, par agar aaj Naira hoti toh wo bhi ye bolti, beta ab tum ek naya safar shuru karne jaarhi ho, wahan tumhari zimmedariyan badlengi, shayad tumhe thodi takleef hogi unke saat adjust karne mein but waqt rehte you'll get used to it, aur beta ye shaadi sirf tumhe Manik se hi nhi balki uski poori family se jodta hai, aur rahi baat Manik ki toh he is a good man, uska khayal rakhna, support him and most importantly trust him, ek rishte mein pyaar dusri cheez hai lekin trust pehli, aur wo family, they are very good Akshu"

"Thank you papa" Akshu said hugging him tightly

"And always remember your papa is here for you, okay?" Kartik said and Akshu nodded

"I love you papa"

"Papa loves you too princess"

"Aksh-" Kairav entered the room

"Anything serious?" Kairav asked

"Nhi bas meri beti ko bata rha tha ki I love her" Kartik said and Kairav smiled

"Kuch bolna tha bhaiya?" Akshu asked

"Wo ye dena tha tujhe" Kairav said giving a doll to her

"Mumma ki aankho ke tare, Kairav aur Akshu sabse pyaare"

"Mumma?" Akshu asked

"Ye mumma ne humare liye record ki thi, ab tu jaarhi hai toh ye tere liye" Kairav said and Akshu smiled and hugged him

"Thank you bhaiya" Akshu said

"Accha accha, bas ab rona band karo aur suno, Manik ko pareshan mat karna" Kairav said trying to lighten the environment

"Bhaiya" Akshu whined and Kairav hugged her while laughing while Kartik smiled and looked at Naira's photo frame,'kaira ke bacche'

"Akshi, vidaai ka waqt ho gaya" Kirti said

"Apna aur sabka dhyaan rakhna, aur dhyaan se chalna wahan girne se humlog bachane nhi aayenge" bhabhi ma hugged her and laughed with tears in her eyes

"Don't worry badi nani, ab ise girne se bachane wala koi aagaya hai" Vatsal teased her

"I'll miss you badi nani" Akshu hugged her tightly

"Akshu, chale?" Kartik gave his hand to Akshu

"Meri beti ka dhyaan rakhna" Kartik said and Manik nodded

"Chinta mat kijiye, Akshu humari bhi beti hai" Shreya said

"Thank you" Kartik joined his hands
