Anaya reaches the venue with Ruhi and Sarika and as soon as Reyansh spots them entering the hall, he approaches them

"What took you so long? You three were almost ready when we left" Reyansh says irritably

"Ask your sister and wife, they made me late" Sarika complains, looking at both of them Ruhi seems unaffected by her mother's words while Anaya seems to drown in her own thoughts

"Im going to meet my friends you please continue" Ruhi says nonchalantly to her mother and walks away into the crowd

Reyansh chuckles at her and turns back to Sarika "Dad was asking for you, now don't make him wait"

"Oh yeah, where is he?" She asks looking here and there

"This way" Reyansh beckons to the group of people where Vijay seems to indulge in a conversation and Sarika walks towards the direction

Reyansh looks back at Anaya who seems to focus on her surroundings more than him so he comes beside her and places his hand on her small back, leaning to her ear

"Do you know today is my happiest day" He whispers softly in her ear and Anaya turns her face to see him "I'm finally getting everything i was lacking in my life" He says scrolling his eyes on her beautiful features "A perfect wife and my own company" He says proudly, tucking a small strand of her hair behind her ear and looks genuinely delighted

"I'm happy for you" Anaya mumbles, her gaze softening at his touch

"I know and you have no idea how grateful i'm to you right now" He says lifting her hands and kisses the back of it. If the situation was different Anaya would be blushing at his small gesture but now her mind is still on the divorce papers which is not letting her even breathe calmly and all she wants just to ask him everything stored in her but somehow she's struggling to restrain herself from bursting

"Sab dekh rahe hain, Reyansh" She excuses, taking her hands back from him
(Everyone is watching)

"To dekhne do, biwi ho tum meri" He says with a playful smirk on his lips and she just looks away which he assumes her shyness and chuckles
(So let them see, you're my wife after all)

"Well, I've a surprise for you" He says smiling at her

She looks back at him but doesn't bother to speak and only gives him a curious look

He leads her further where she spots a couple and when they turn around she meets the familiar sight, her father and her step-mother

"I didn't tell you that Dad invited your family too" Reyansh says, looking at her face as if trying to read her expression which is blank, no happiness, no excitement seeing her parents which slightly bothers him but before he asks something, Damini steps forward

"Oh dear we missed you so much, you have changed a lot in these Six months" She hugs her which taken her aback but then she realises that she always acts like a loving mother in front of others

She moves back and Anaya tries to smile as she looks at her father "Papa" She mutters, her voice heavy with emotions

"How are you, Anaya?" Abhinav asks casually with a small smile curving on his lips seeing his daughter after months yet he doesn't show the affection she was longing for years but as she always loved him and misses him too after her marriage so she can't hold herself back, she moves forward and hugs him, her eyes gets teary, she doesn't know why she feels so sad all of a sudden, maybe because of the previous events or seeing him after so long
