He threw the phone towards Veer as he let out a gasp catching the phone near his chest , muttering something under his breath . " Niklo yaha se ." Advaith said getting frustrated by their behaviour and continuous teasing. But it surely did good to him as he saw Avantika blushing hard every now and then because of the teasings .

" Areh introduce toh krde hume bhabhi se ." Vihan said grabbing everyone's attention. " Karane layak hi nahi ho tum ." He said sarcastically making them whine . " Leave him , we'll do that ourselves. " Vihan said making his way towards Avantika but was soon stopped by Advaith jumping in between, blocking his way . " Mai hu na ." He said giving a fake smile to him . " Ab aya na line par . " Vihan said earning a glare from Advaith as he stood beside Avantika holding her bare waist in his cold , rough hand .

" They are not my friends but family ...specifically only friends... unfortunately." Advaith introduced them both in not so pleasant way as he again kicked them off the stage making Avantika to widen her eyes . They stood there alone in silence as it was soon broken by Avantika. " Your finger might be hurting, you should take off the ring . " she said hesitantly being disappointed. " It doesn't really matter , you've given it to me , so it won't hurt . " he said looking onto her eyes as she stood there amazed. " But sti-" she was interrupted by him. " we'll get it fixed tomorrow but for now I am not removing it . " He said giving a light squeeze to her waist as it sent shivers down her spine and make her skin to grow goosebumps .

Everyone crowded the stage as they had their photos taken while they all praised Avantika eternal beauty. " Your choice is breathtaking Advaith , I must say . " his cousin said eyeing Avantika an Advaith so knew his intentions.
" Indeed she is and also she is the one who has choose me , I am in no position to deserve her ." He said holding her waist and pushing her towards himself as her back collided with his front making her blush as his cousin was left speechless. His cousin descended the stage making Avantika to look at him with questionable expression . " what?" He asked in disbelief. " You should not be rude with people and moreover he was your cousin." She said expecting that he would understand without any ifs and buts but whom are you talking to Advaith Singh Rathore. " He deserved it ." He said raising his eyebrows. Avantika accepted her defeat shaking her head " Sorry " he said with a tight lipped smile as it was his defeat in front of her .

" Attention everybody, dulha dulhan ko itne pyaar bhari anko se dekh nazar na lagaye aur ake humara dance enjoy kijiye ." They were started by the sudden voice of Nisha and Aditya as they called everyone near the dance floor for the performances . " Jaan chalein ." He asked looking at her as he caught her off guard staring at him . " Apka hi hu ji bhar ke dekh lijiye ." He said making her look at anything but him or nothings in particular . He tool out a bundle of cash from his pocket rolling it over her head and handing it to tha staff he said " Everyone has praised you , nazar na lag jaye kisi ki ." He said looking into her eyes as she blushed . He held her hand in his while he helped her with her lehnga as she descended the stairs with his help . He is a gentleman indeed.

They settled themselves in front of the dance floor as they were welcomed by Aditya and Nisha hosting the performance . Everyone danced their heart out as they were happy for the couple .

Everyone gathered at the dining to have their dinner after an exhausting yet memorable event . Avantika and Advaith sat next to each other having their dinner . The teasing still continued making Avantika blush at Advaith's besharam self . She felt something crawling over the back of her palm as she jerked it off feeling ticklish . It again appeared on the back of her palm making her frown and look at it with frustration . She found Advaith trembling hand attempting to hold hers as he looked nervous . " Something crawled over the back of my palm , I believe it was a red ant , a dangerous one indeed. " she said making him widen his eyes playing along with him , she chuckled looking at him while he got to know what she was upto .

He held her hand under the table making her widen her eyes as she looked at him in a pleading manner asking him to leave her hand but it effected him the least . She started eating with her left hand feeling helpless . " Bhabhi, why are you eating from your left hand ?" Ayansh  asked being confused as it feared Avantika . " Mhm hmm , Advaith ." Veer teased Advaith making Avantika to widen her eyes with embarrassment jerking off her hand from his hold as he laughed at her state .

Everyone was ready to bid bye as Avantika felt herself being dragged by someone behind the pillar as she let out a gasp encountering Advaith dangerously close to her . " Koi dekh lega , choriye ." She said trying to get out of his hold as it all went into vain considering his huge and massive self in front of her . " Chorne ke liye toh hath nahi thama tha ." He said making her blush as she hid her face in his chest feeling shy . " I wanted to talk to you about something ." He said scratching his nape being nervous and it was the first time she found him being nervous. " I am all ears ." She said raising her eyebrows asking him to continue further .

"Actually , I am going to Sicily for some business related work and ..." he said taking a long pause making Avantika to raise her eyebrows at him . " And I wanted you to join me , see if you are not comfortable that is alright I am not pressurising you it is just I wanted to be with you . " he said in a single breath making her chuckle at him . " And why would I come with you ?" She said raising her eyebrows making a attempt to tease him . " And why would you not come . " he said firing back at her as she narrowed her eyebrows saying " Because I don't want to . " " And may I know that why you don't want to come ." He said decreasing the distance between them as he smirked seeing his impact on her . " Ladoo!!" Her eyes widen with shock as soon as her maa's voice reached her ear . She pushed him making him fumble on his steps but her effort went into vain as he did fumble but did not move a inch from his place .

" Please I need to go , someone will see us . " she said pleading him but her still didn't move . " Are you coming with me ?" He asked raising his eyebrows trying his level best to hide his smirk  . " Haa , vo toh mai mazak kar rahi thi ." She said holding his biceps looking into his eyes . He was so lost in her eyes that he did not notice anything but was back to his senses as soon as Avantika pushed him escaping the situation making him chuckle .
