Avni and Neil came out of the room to see that everyone was already there ready in traditionals.
"Avni beta stand there for a minute"Swetha stopped Avni who was about to go to Sam and Kia who were sitting with Mishti.
She called the househelp along with the burning coal and chillies,she rounded the chillies around them and threw the chillies in the burning coal.
"Now you can go wherever you want"Swetha gave the green signal and Avni went to Mishti and Keerti while Neil went and sat beside Abir and Prakash.
"What happened to Bira"She asked as Abir was sitting keeping his head on the handle of the sofa.
"He is hungry"Mishti replied as Avni nodded Abir and food are match made in heaven,he can't stay hungry.
"Mumma can we go out and play please"Sam and Kia made puppy face as Avni and Mishti nodded and the two ran off to play out in the garden.
"By the way Avu you are looking really pretty"Mishti complimented and Keerti nodded in agreement while Avni bowed her head thanking them.
"And you two look like angels"Avni complimented them and did the casting off the evil eye doing thu thu thu making the other two chuckle.
"By the way we still have two hours,what should we do for time pass"Mishti asked looking at her watch.
"Keerti Di tell me how Naksh Bhai proposed you,I know how Bira proposed Mishti now share about yours too"Avni asked keeping her head on her palms and leaned toward Keerti for reply.
"How did you ask this out of the blue"Keerti chuckle while Mishti just motioned for her to continue as she is intrigued to know too "Ok so Naksh and I had an arrange marriage but it soon turned into love and as you know I am a lawyer so he pulled out some contacts and booked a whole courtroom and decorated it beautifully and proposed me there,it was trully surreal"Keerti narrated with a fond smile on her face and one could tell from the smile how much she loves and adores Naksh.
"Wow that's so romantic"Mishti added and Avni nodded along wondering if moment like this would happen with her not.
"Now that I told mine,Mishti you tell too how did Abir proposed to you"Keerti said and the two now turned towards Mishti.
"Ok so Abir and I dated two years before we finally decided on settling down and he booked a restaurant and decorated the whole restaurant with the pics of our memories pics and went on knees to finally propose me for our wedding"She narrated with her cheeks all red.
"Ohoo all blushy blushy"Avni teased brushing her shoulder with Mishti's making Mishti blush more.
"Now Avni your turn"Keerti motioned
"What should I tell I have never been proposed"Avni shrugged nonchalantly although she did felt a little bad about it.
"But you can tell your dream proposal right Di"Mishti quickly added sensing her mood and Keerti nodded getting the memo.
"You know my love for books right so I have always wanted my partner to propose me in Richelieu Library which is in Paris,I don't want him to do any decorations just to go down on his knees and propose me"Avni wondered out"But I guess it will remain a dream only"She added with a sigh as although she know that she feel for Neil but isn't sure if it is reciprocated or not as Neil clearly stated before their marriage that this marriage is just for convinience but unknown to her Neil who was standing behind her has heard the entire thing.
"Don't worry your dream would soon come to reality"Keerti said winking at Neil who smiled back at her in return.
"Avni,Mishti and Di Mom is calling you to decorate the Aarti thali in the mandir"Neil added turning Avni's attention towards him and she just hope that he hasn't heard her proposal thing.
The three nodded and made their way to the mandir and decorated the aarti thali with a little bit of fun and chatter.
"Mumma,Dadi,Bua the moon is out"Sam and Kia ran inside the house shouting and Abir was the first one to run to the terrace and everyone else followed him shaking their head.
Reaching the terrace they were in aww with the decoration which was done on Swetha's insistance.

"Mishti come quickly do the pooja so I can eat something"Abir said eagerly and everyone chuckled.
They all stood in pairs,Avni stood in front of Neil took the sieve from the Aarti Thali and first look at the moon and then at Neil kept it aside,did his aarti and applied tilak on his forehead and Neil made her drink water.
"Now give me the thali I need to break the fast too and I am hungry"Neil added quickly taking the thali from her did her aarti and applied tilak on her forehead making Avni shake her head at his antics and made him drink water.
The same process was done by the other three couple and Keerti broke her fast with Naksh on a video call.
"Ok now everyone come and sit"Swetha ordered and everyone sat at the dinning area beside their partners,Sam and Kia sat together.
The househelp served the food and it was everyone's favourite dishes.
"Come on what are you staring at me for have it"Neil whispered forwading her a morsel of Pav Bhaji which is her favourite and she had it.
She too tore a bhatura took some Chole and fed it to Neil.
"Mumma here you didn't ate anything from morning right"Sam forwaded a spoonfull of Pasta to Avni before starting to eat herself making Avni a little emotional and she had it.
"Beta your Dada also fasted give some pasta to him too"Neil whined to lighten the atmosphere.
"Offo Dadda here you have it too"Sam said making Neil eat the pasta and everyone chuckled.
The atmosphere at the dinning area was filled with love and warmth everyone genuinely enjoying each other's company.
In a flat with a little too no light a woman is standing all decked up in blood red anarkali,adorned with jewellery and her open hair flowing with the wind.
"I know I am going to loose the case but don't worry Neil I know what to do to make your so called wife leave you"She smirked and look at Neil's pic through the sieve.
"On next Karva Chaut you are going to break my fast baby"She said drinking water herself staring at Neil pic.
