SanDhir joined everyone in hall

"Where were you?" Vidushi asked Sanyukta

"Was in my room..." She answered

"Bhai...where were you?" Parth asked Randhir as soon as Randhir joined him

"Umm..was in room" He answered

Sanyukta saw her father standing in corner.

He was looking at the people who were present there to bless his daughter.

Sanyukta reached to him and placed her hand on his shoulders

"Papa..." She called him

Kishore quickly wiped his face and turned back

"Ha beta...kuch chaiye" Kishore forced a smile on his face

Sanyukta nodded as her eyes welled up again

"Why are you standing here Papa?" "You were crying..." She said

"No beta..No..I was just standing here like that" "Looking after everything..." Kishore lied

"Papaa..you can't lie to me" Sanyukta said

"Sanyu..." Kishore hugged his daughter

They shed some tears

"Come..." Kishore took her in the middle of the hall

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead

"You were this small..." "Itni si thi tu jab..humare zindagi main aaye.." "I and Anju were so happy that day" "Our first baby was born..." Kishore said remembering the day

"Nurse brought you to me...you were wrapped in soft cloth" "I took you in my arms..." Kishore caress her cheek

"Phir tum badi hone lagi..." "I still remember..kaise tum tumhari choti si cycle chalati thi angaan main..." "It gave you happiness..."

"Our day used to start with you and end with you..." "Your school...subah Anju tumhe taiyaar karti thi main tumhe school chodne aata tha" "Phir raat ko tuje...khana mere hi haath se khana hota tha'" Kishore smiled

"You always made me proud..." "Always...I am proud father today" "You become independent...successful" "It makes so happy..." Kishore said

"Tum itni badi kab hogayi Sanyu..." Kishore said and Sanyukta flew in his arms

"Kal tu chali jayegi aapne ghar....what will I do Sanyu...?" kishore sobbed

"What will be aim of my life...?" "Because you will be no longer with us..." Kishore said

Sanyukta sobbed badly

"Papa..." She said inbetween her sobs

"But I am so happy for you beta...so happy" "You have got best family...best life partner" Kishore caress her head

"I know you will be very happy with them...thats what will give strength to live without you..." Kishore said

"I know you will be very good wife and daughter in law" "Cause you are best daughter of the world..." Kishore broke the hug and cupped her face

"aab rona nahi...aab toh bas hasana hai" Kishore wiped her tears

Kishore took her to Randhir.

He placed Sanyukta's hand into his hand

"I am giving you piece of my heart" "Take care of her" Kishore said

"Yes Papa..." Randhir assured him

Kishore smiled

Randhir entangled their fingers and tighten his grip over her hand.

Sanyukta looked at him.

He smiled.

She looked at their hands and again at him.

She smiled in contentment.

Next Morning

It was haldi ceremony today

Sanyukta wore a combination of yellow and orange saree for the ceremony.

Randhir made himself comfortable in simple plain white kurta.

Sanyukta and Randhir settled down for the ceremony,

They were facing each other.

Their eyes met.

Anju made paste of turmeric powder and rose water.

She decorated the bowl with rose petals.

She applied portion of the paste to Randhir's cheeks.

"Aab yeh haldi Sanyukta ko lagegi..." Renuka took the bowl from her hand and applied portion of paste to Sanyukta's cheeks.

Later there family members continued with the ceremony.

Later on Randhir roamed around to find Sanyukta.

Finally he saw her with her cousins.

She still had haldi on her face,hands,neck which made her look cute but beautiful.

Sanyukta find his gaze on her.

She blushed a bit and immediately rolled her eyes away from him.

"Sanyukta...beta go and freshen up now" Anju told Sanyukta

"Okay Maa..." Sanyukta stood up and took herself to her room.

Randhir as usual followed her.

She was unaware of his following.

He got a chance and grabbed her hand and dragged her with him in her room.

"Randhir...you scared me" She huffed

"Hahaha...meri Delhiwali daar gayi" He teased her

"Huh!" She pushed him

But he block her way but setting his hand on either side of his.

"What do you want Randhir?" She asked

"We are yet to apply haldi on each other" He said

She laughed

"Haaso mat..." He faked a frown

"Randhir...aap bhi na..." She laughed more

"Aaisa koi rule hai kya...ki ladka ladki ek dusre ko haldi nahi laga sakte" He said

"Umm...haldi lagane ke liye jagah hi nahi bachi aab" She said scanning his face filled with haldi

"Toh jagah bana deta hai...." He hushed

He took a small portion of haldi from her cheek on his finger tip.

He applied the portion on her cheek.

He rubbed his nose over her.

She giggled once he was done rubbing their noses.

"Now your turn..." He said

She held his cheeks into her soft palms.

She gradually pulled him close to her and rubbed her soft cheek across his light stubble ones.

"Bas..happy" She grinned.

"Just six hours left Sanyukta..." He said

She hide herself in his strong arms.

He hugged her back.
