Vaishnav Villa, Mumbai

The Rajvansh family arrived at Mumbai and directly drove to Vaishnav Villa since the Engagement is going to be held at the lawn of Vaishnav Villa. As they entered the villa, their eyes were captivated by the beauty and grandeur of the house which left them in awe. They stepped out of the car.

Aarohi - Di, your soon to be house is so so so stunning!

Swara and Jeevika smiles.

Kushal - But why is no one seen here? Anyways, Let's go inside.

Four of them stood in front of the door and Kushal rang the doorbell.

As soon as the door opened, party poppers burst on Swara, and Vaishnav trio shouted 'WELCOME BHABHI'. Her eyes closed at a sudden burst of celebration, which were soon opened and followed by a beautiful smile that lit up her face.

Rajendra and Anuradha stood in the middle, with smiling Ansh, while Revati greeted them at the entrance with a plate of aarti. Meanwhile, Viraj, Nirav, and Vivaan stood beside the door, holding party poppers.

The whole house was beautifully decorated. Swara's eyes twinkle seeing her smiling in-laws, decorated house and grand welcome of her. She was lost, feeling the love and warmth radiating from everyone around her. Smiles never left the faces of Rajvanshs seeing the affection and love Swara is receiving from the Vaishnavs.

Revati performs aarti and lets everyone in. All this while Ansh's eyes never left Swara's smiling face. And feeling his gaze on her, Swara didn't dare to share any eye contact with him because she knows that she would be lost in those pairs if she do so. Even though they regularly talk on mobile nowadays, Ansh was getting impatient to meet her. His feelings are developing stronger as he gets to know more about her. Both of them were surely experiencing the initial stage of love, blossoming in arranged marriage which is making them partners from strangers.

Everyone settled down on the couches of the living room chit chatting among themselves.

Rajendra - Kushal beta, hum ek baar saare arrangements dekh lete hai.

With that, Rajendra and Kushal left.

Jeevika - Revatiji, tab tak hum bhi shagun ka samaan dekh lete hai.

Anuradha and Revati nodded.

Anuradha - Beta, tum chaaro tab tak Swara aur Aarohi ko ghar dikha do.

Saying this, they left. Now only youngsters are present in the living room. Vivaan excitedly runs besides his bhabhi and chirp,

Vivaan - Welcome home bhabhi! Aapko surprise kaisa laga? Ye sab maine kiya hai bhabhi, specially aapke liye.

Viraj twist his ear lightly and he wince

Viraj - Sab tune kiya hai?

Vivaan - Oouu bhai! Aacha ok ok maine nahi humne. Ye sab humne kiya hai. Abb toh chod do bhai.

Viraj - Better (and leaves his ear)

Swara smiled at their childishness.

Nirav - Welcome bhabhi. I hope you like the surprise.

Swara shakes her head. And Trio's face fell slightly.

Swara - I loved it!!!

Everyone's smile widened.

Viraj - Thank you bhabhi. By the way, ye idea mera tha.

Viraj uplifts his invisible collars.

Vivaan tapped his shoulders and said, actually reminded - Bhai, ye poppers wala mera idea tha.
