After a week
The Kumars residence
Arjun welcomed the Nairs for the pre wedding celebrations of Dhiraj and Shyma.
Mrunal was chuckling at the way her grandmother was dishing out the childhood antics of the siblings in front of the family with no filter.
Dhiraj thought to hide himself from his grandmother who only gave a toothless laughter to the crowd.
In all this, Deepika could only see the fake happiness that her once perky daughter was giving in front of the family and friends.
"...Mrunal?!...um...I will be leaving for the house...I have some urgent work to look into...meet you tomorrow in the venue..." Rajeev told her as she looked back while sitting on the couch.
She excused herself to walk with him to the exit door instructing him on the clothes being ironed for him for tomorrow along with accessories like a good wife.
Rajeev looked back and saw the way she was smiling, making him run back to have a quick hug.
Mrunal smiled at his gesture and told him to not stay up late. He backed and pecked her cheeks to get a satisfied smile from her.
Both bid bye to each other with their longing smile which was enough for both of them.
Rajeev was also remorseful at not able to fully express his love for her. Until he knew that she was not the Papi associate, he would not be able to give himself to her.
He knew she was waiting for him to take the first step in their relationship. But he was helpless, with the strict norms of the Tigris to not involve yourself with the enemies.
She was the enemy as of now because of the evidences against her; as found by Prisha.
So, unless and until she is cleared off all the accusations, he couldn't give her the love that she truly deserved.
He was close enough to get her out of the tangle of the Papi case, but just needed that one last bit of evidence which he would get after the wedding.
The next day
The wedding venue
Dhiraj was all smiles at the way his friends and cousins hyped at the time of Thaali rituals.
Deepika had happy tears in her eyes, which would be blessed to have a smart and mature girl for her military son.
At the Sadhya, Prisha was tired with her headache and just sat on the veranda of the wedding venue accompanied by Sharanya to help her out.
