Kartik had insisted on hosting the mehendi and sangeet at his house which all agreed.

The previous night of the ceremony was full of excitement. Families were busy in preparations and Sara was reading a book when Kartik called,

"Missing me?"

"Reading a book"

"Laga hi tha! 20 messages bhej chuka hu! Notifications off karke kiu rakha hain????"

"Bola to book padh rahi hu"

"To? Apne ek laute rasmalai jese fiance ko ignore karogi?"

She laughed out loud and said,

"Mere nautanki aaryan"

"Tum nervous nahi ho?"

"Nope I'm damn excited!!!"

"Oh!" he sighed.

"Kartik is everything alright?"

"Yes baas mere life main bohot accha hone wala hota hain to darr lagta hain ki kahi kuch bura na ho jaye"

"Tum free baithe ho na?:)"

"Haan"

"Isiliye esa sab soch rahe ho"

"Maybe"

"Wese kal ka kya plan hain?"

"Sara kal humari mehendi aur sangeet hain!!"

"Arey buddhu main puch raha hu ki dance prep kiya?"

"Main Kartik Aaryan hu:)"

"Sorry main vhul gayi thi. Butter smooth steps to apki by born talent main ati hain!"

"Tumne sab tyaari kar li? As in outfits or anything?"

"Haan but..."

"But mehendi ki designs abhi tak final nahi kar payi" she replied sadly.

"Yeh bhi choose karna hota hain?" he almost laughed.

"What do you mean? Meri shaadi ki mehendi hain...it has to be unique and pretty" she replied angrily.

"Absolutely" he kinda teased.

"Majak bana rahe ho? Pata bhi hain perfect designs draw karna bhi kitna efforts ka kaam hain?"

"Accha accha sorry"

"Sorry nahi chahiye iske liye punishment dungi"

"Ji mam boliye"

"You will have to design on my hand tomorrow"

"So easy!"

"If you can manage even one design that doesn't look like a cartoon character, I'll be impressed" Sara laughed.

"You will see!"

"I'll but ab rakhti hu mom shayad bula rahi hain"

"Haan sure"

"Love you Rasmalai Aaryan"

"Love you too Princess"

Later that night, Sara was with Vaisoha discussing things when her phone beeped. Kritika sent her a video with a bunch of laughing emojis.

There was Kartik, in a loose T-shirt and sweatpants, hunching over a paper drawing some designs from his phone, muttering, "Come on, Kartik, you can do better than this" He didn’t know about Kritika recording.
