Sara: "Shubman, marry me."
Shubman smiled, a warmth spreading through him.
Shubman: "Of course, mere jaan. Once we go back to India and prove what really happened, then I will marry you."
But Sara shook her head. "No, Shubman. Marry me now, here in London."
Shubman, surprised by Sara's proposal, said, "Sara, marriage? NOW? Here? How is it possible without our family and friends? What will they think about us?"
Sara buried her face deep into Shubman's chest, her safest place, and said, "I don't know about all that, Shubman, but I want to marry you now because I don't want to risk losing you again at any cost. You know how many things have happened behind our backs. And that Aryan... he will do anything to separate us. Baby, I can't live without you. Marry me. I'm not asking you to announce our marriage. It will be a secret, just between you and me. Once everything is sorted, we will get married again with our parents' approval. What do you say?"
Shubman gently made her look into his eyes and said, "Umm... secret marriage sounds interesting," and laughed teasingly.
Sara hit his shoulder playfully. "Say yes or no."
Shubman cupped her face and said, "Did I ever say no to my princess? It's a big yes, baby."
Sara's eyes lit up. "Really! I love you, Shub."
Shubman smiled warmly. "I love you too, baby. Should we tell Jugnu and Alysha, or should we keep it a secret from them as well?"
Sara thought for a moment. "I think we should tell them because we need someone to witness our marriage."
They both laughed, feeling a mix of excitement and relief. Shubman lifted Sara slightly and kissed her. They both felt as if they had come back to life after a long time, their hearts beating in unison as they are ready to take the next step in their journey together.
Shubman and Sara headed back to the hotel where Alysha and Sara were staying. It was just walking distance, so they walked hand in hand. Shubman called Jugnu and asked him to come to the hotel.
Sara: "Alysha and Jugnu will be shocked."
Shubman: "For sure."
Finally, they reached the room and rang the doorbell. Alysha opened it and saw Shubman and Sara standing hand in hand. She immediately understood that everything was sorted out between them.
Alysha hugged both of them. "I am very happy for both of you."
Sara and Shubman came inside, and after a minute or so, Jugnu also arrived.
Jugnu: "What happened? Is everything fine?"
Sara: "Yes."
Jugnu: "So, Sara, have you forgiven Shubman?"
Sara: "Yes, Jugnu. Everything is fine now."
Jugnu: "Finally, now that everything is fine between you two, Shubman will function like a normal human being."
Sara laughed. "Guys, listen, we both wanted to tell you something."
Both Alysha and Jugnu simultaneously asked, "What?"
Shubman and Sara looked at each other nervously.
Shubman: "Guys, we both want to get married secretly, here in London."
Jugnu: Sara what are you talking? hey you two are pranking us right?
Shubman: No.. No, it's not a prank, we're telling the truth, we both want to get married secretly..
Alysha: Guys, why did you take such a sudden decision?
Sara and Shubman tell the reason behind their decision to jugnu and Alysha.
Alysha: Sara, are you saying that Aryan did all this?
Sara: Yes, Alysha. As far as I know, Aryan and Anmol must have done this together. We need to find out the whole truth and prove to Mom and Dad that Shubman did nothing wrong.
Jugnu: Sara, Shubman is really lucky to have a girl like you who understands him. I am very, very happy now. Finally, all the problems between you two have been resolved. From now on, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.
Alysha: Me too. I am very excited about your wedding.
Jugnu: Okay, okay, we don't have time. The wedding preparations should be done quickly. Let's go shopping first.
Sara, Shubman, Jugnu, and Alysha go shopping.
Shubman picks a red saree for Sara. Sara likes it very much. They also go to a jewelry shop and buy a mangalsutra for Sara which Shubman has chosen.
Jugnu books an Airbnb for Sara and Shubman.
After shopping, everyone goes to the Airbnb.
Shubman and Sara go to separate rooms to get ready.
Jugnu helps Shubman get ready and Alysha helps Sara.
Jugnu (teasingly): Hey Shubi, you are finally going to get married. How does that feel?
Shubman: Do you really want to know my feeling?
Jugnu: Tell me.
Shubman: If the wedding happens quickly and you leave soon, I feel that me and my wife gets so alone time
Jugnu: you.. Idiot after I have done all this for you and your love, you saying this?
Shubman: don't worry jugnu If we had a boy, we will name him after you.
Jugnu: Well, you said that. That's good.
They both laughs.
Shubman looks very handsome in a white shirt and black pants with a tuck.
Shubman and Jugnu come to the hall and wait for Sara. Meanwhile, Sara walks in wearing the red saree that Shubman selected. As Sara walks like that, She looked like a walking goddess...
Shubman looks at Sara, completely mesmerized. Jugnu, teasingly, pats Shubman on the shoulder:
Jugnu: Shubi, there's still time for the first night. Don't look at Sara like that as if you're going to eat her up.
Shubman: Shut up, Jugnu.
Sara walks in and stands in front of Shubman. Shubman looks at her with admiration in his eyes.
Sara: Baby, how do I look?
Shubman (cupping Sara's face): Have I ever told you? Could I ever able to say how beautiful you look. How much charm you have. Like always I have no words to describe your beauty.
Sara blushes, Jugnu fake coughs, and Alysha laughs and says, "Okay guys, let's start the wedding rituals."
Sara walks in wearing a red saree with a veil covering her head. Alysha and Jugnu gives garlands to Sara and Shubman.
Sara and Shubman exchange their garlands. Alysha opens a jewelry box and takes out the Mangalasutra, which she then hands to Shubman. Shubman holds the mangalasutra and looks into her eyes. Sara looks down shyly but continues to steal glances at him.
As Sara blushes, Shubman continues to look at her with affection.
Shubman puts the Mangalasutra around Sara's neck and whispers "I love you." Sara responds, "I love you too." Shubman applies sindoor on Sara's forehead and places a kiss on her forehead.
Jugnu and Alysha congratulate Sara and Shubman. Shubman extends his hand for a handshake with Sara and says, "Congratulations, Mrs. Sara Shubman Gill." Sara reciprocates the handshake and then hugs Shubman.
