The grooms side was now shifted to other resort as the baraat will be from there to the Shiv Niwas Palace. The girls were getting ready but only one was missing and that was the trouble maker. 

Shivantika was sitting in her room surrounded by various sweets and other things. Right now she was squeezing lemon juice and she already chopped green chillies. Just than ruhanika entered the room.

"Aree oyee atankwadi...yeh kya kar rahi hai? Taiyaar nahi hona?" Ruhanika asked looking at her sister still sitting in night shorts.

"Rukk ja na...ladke walo ka welcome sahi se ho ussi ki taiyaari kar rahi hu." Just then shivantika squeezed the full chasni{sugar syrup} out of two rasgulla and put them in lemon juice.

"Aree rasgulla kharab kar dia." Ruhanika said but shivantika gestured him to shut up. Then she cut a gulaab jamun in half and stuffed 1 tsp red chilli powder. Then she took kaju katli and showed ruhanika.

"Yeh dekh mirchi ki barfi...halwai uncle ki madad se banai hai maine yeh." Shivantika laughed evilly and ruhanika shook her head at her antics.

"Unka welcome karegi ya bhagwan ke ghar ke liye see off." Ruhanika said and both the sisters burst out laughing.

"Vo chod, ishu di unke sath gai hai?" Shivantika asked and ruhanika nodded sadly and soon the sisters got ready to attend the wedding.

THE WEDDING RITUALS BEGIN

The barat has arrived and the groom side relatives were dancing in front of the entrance when Avantika came and pulled shivantika and ruhanika to dance. Shivantika being the overexcited started dancing and ruhanika being shy stood at side. Just then rudransh came and grabbed ruhanika's hand and took her to the dance floor and encouraged her to dance. At first, ruhanika denied to dance but then she started dancing happily. Ekansh who was busy with some work was standing at back side, then ishana and karan brought him towards the dance floor and pushed him on the side where ruhanika was dancing. Ekansh, not ready for the push stumbled on his steps and collided with ruhanika and rudransh swiftly excused himself. Ruhanika grabbed ekansh's bicep and helped him to stand straight. The moment their eyes locked, they found themselves lost in the beauty of their orbs, the dark brown orbs of ruhanika complementing the black orbs of ekansh.

As the music stopped, shivantika and rudransh came to disturb their moment.

"Opps sorry, par barat ke swagat ka time ho gaya hai toh mujhe ruhi ko le jana hoga, jija ji." Shivantika said with a mischievous tone making both of them embarrassed and then they both left.

"Uhu Uhu, chaliye bhai." Rudransh said with a neutral face.

"Ha chal." Ekansh said and soon the brothers burst in laughter and started running behind each other.

At the entrance,the bride side relatives were putting garlands around the groom side relatives. Shivantika who was also doing the same saw avantika coming towards her excitedly took a garland and was about to put it around avantika's neck when she turned to other side and rudransh came in front resulting the garland to fall around his neck and shivantika gasped.

"Hayee...mein toh karan bhai ko aise hi ched raha tha ki vo do kadam aage hai, furti toh aapne dikhai hai, na mangni na koi rasam, sidha byah?" Rudransh said putting his palm on his chest just above his heart making shivantika to look at him with shock.

"Haww...aap kitne besharam hai, swagat mala hai yeh..." Shivantika said and lightly hit his palm which was on his heart and let go of a chuckle.

"Chalo beta andar.." Mamiji said.

And everyone went inside. The groom and his groomsmen were sitting when shivantika and ruhanika entered the scene with a plate full of sweets with a extra sweet smile and ruhanika looking a little nervous.
