Next day
Sanskar placed Swara near stove as she took a jar from height. She finished cooking soon. She held his arm to sit on the slab but then laughed as he himself lifted her and made her sit on the slab. He fed her breakfast and also ate himself.
He made few calls after breakfast and walked to Swara who was simply sitting on sofa scrolling through her phone. "Swara", she turned to him and he asked softly tugging a strand of hair behind her ear, "are you sure you don't want to tell your parents?"
She held his hand and said, "I am scared the news will reach your family Sanskar. I trust them but I don't trust dadi. I will tell them when you shift here", he nodded to her and kissed her forehead.
"Okay you get ready. I will go there first and prepare everything. Angre will pick you", he said. "Why can I not go with you?" she asked confused. "I have few other works as well, I will complete and call you, okay?" he said and she nodded her head in a yes to him. She then bid bye to him with a smile.
"Oi", she called when he went near door. He turned back to her and raised his eye-brows. She went near him and kissed his cheek, "bye", she said and he cleared his throat. "Bye", he said with a smile and walked out.

Swara was playing guitar when bell rang. She kept the guitar down and went to open the door. "Hi", she said casually to Ria who was holding a big bag with a frown.
"Seriously? Swara who gives such a big responsibility at such short notice?" Ria blabbered walking inside and Swara giggled hearing it.
Ria dropped the bag on sofa and took three sarees. "I bought you these three sarees, they fit your description of not too grand not too simple. Choose one", she ordered.
"I just asked you to buy one", Swara said looking at the three sarees. "Yeah but I thought it will be safe to have options", Ria said.
"I love this", Swara said taking a red saree with pearls at the border. "Thank you, how much?" Swara asked but Ria frowned. "My gifts for your wedding", she said stubbornly.
Swara tried to resist but couldn't win an argument with her friend.
Soon Swara got ready in the red saree and a golden blouse with Ria's help. She wore heavy jhumkas, a simple chain and loads of red bangles on both hands.

Swara got Sanskar's call after few hours and Angre came to pick her up. Ria also went with them.
All three of them reached the registration office. Swara was about to go in when Angre said, "Swara".
Swara stopped and turned to him. She gasped in surprise as he gave her a white lilly. "I respect you a lot, you are the best boss", he said with a smile and she took the flower confused and amused.
"Swara", Ria called and Swara turned to her. "You are the best friend in this world", Ria said giving a yellow rose and Swara's grin widened as she took it.
"Mam!" Swara looked at the sound and saw a bunch of her students running to her. "Mam you are so beautiful", many said giving her pink roses.
"You are the perfect teacher", few kids said giving her white roses and her eyes brimmed with tears.
Few of her colleagues came and gave her orange roses congratulating her for buying land.
She couldn't believe what was happening. How does everyone knew what each flower represented? She kind of already guessed the answer and her heart was swelling with love for Sanskar.
