Reyansh was exhausted after the hectic day of wedding preparations and had fallen asleep on the sofa in his room. He was woken up by  Riya, who came in and said, "Chote, get up. Its already time for the sangeet."

Reyansh groaned and said, "Di, I am not interested in attending the sangeet. I just want to sleep." Riya said, "Chote, get up na. You can't miss the sangeet. It's a very important function and everyone is waiting for you. Please get ready."

Reyansh nodded reluctantly and got up from the sofa. He went to the washroom and splashed some water on his face. He came back to his room and saw that Riya had kept his suit on the bed. He wore the black suit with a black embroided blazer and looked at himself in the mirror. He thought he looked decent enough and went to Raman's room to check on him.

Reyansh knocked on the door and said, "The groom is not ready yet?"

Raman said, "Bhai, I am almost ready. Just give me five minutes." Reyansh said, "I was sleeping until now and I got ready in ten minutes and you are getting ready from almost an hour and not yet done? What are you doing, man?"

Radhika said, "That's what, Ansh. Neha is already ready there and looking gorgeous and this man is taking so long to get ready. He is making her wait."

Reyansh nodded and said, "Come on, Raman. Hurry up. We have to go down and join the others." He dragged Raman out of the room and went down to the hall where the sangeet was happening.

He saw Naina and even though he had a  bad past with Naina and they couldn't stand each other, he had to admit that she looked stunning in her black geogrette lehenga with sequins and embroidary.

The blouse had a cutdana neckline and sweetheart sleeves. She had put a dupatta at the side and wore a maangtika which looked good with her free hair. Reyansh chuckled at their twinning as he was also wearing black. He wondered if it was a coincidence or fate.

ReAina's outfit

Naina came up on the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the sangeet of Neha and Raman. We are here to celebrate their love and happiness with some music and dance. So let us begin the performance with-"

She was interuptted by Neha, who came on the stage and said, "-by the amazing dancer, Naina Sharma." Naina's eyes widened and she whispered, "Why me? I didn't sign up for this."

Neha just laughed and said, "Come on, Naina. You are the best dancer here and you know it. Don't be shy. Show us your moves." She turned to the audience and said, "Lets applause for Naina." She pushed Naina to the backstage and told her to get ready.

Naina had no choice but to go along with Neha's plan. She quickly prepared herself and waited for the DJ to play the song. Everyone heard the familiar tune of "Chikni Chameli" from the movie Agneepath and took a deep breath. She came on the stage and started to dance with grace and energy.
