After having dinner at a posh restaurant as Arjun & Samaira's wedding treat, everyone's returned at Arjun's house. Nishi sneaked out from the restaurant earlier with an excuse that she has to arrange everything to welcome the couple. Now, Arjun & Samaira was standing at the doorstep. Nishi performed the aarti & then placed a pot laden with rice on the entrance. Samaira tilt the pot using her right foot & then stepped into a plate of alta & then walked inside the home with Arjun beside her, leaving behind auspicious red foot prints.
Arjun & Samaira both sat on the sofa. Marriage Register was waiting for them. Arjun signed first & then passed the register towards Samaira. She too signed. Now, legally also they became Mr & Mrs Mehra. The Registrar congratulated both of them. Nishi offered him sweets.
After sometime,
Nishi- Everything is over. But sorry, we can't leave you both alone so soon. Now, it's time for an important game.
Nishi placed a big bowl filled with milk, nuts, coins & rose petals in front of them & dropped a ring on it.
Nishi- Now, you both have to find the ring. So, let's start. 3...2...1... & go.
Arjun & Samaira both put their each hand on the bowl & started searching. Within few seconds, Arjun took out the ring from the bowl. Rajat & Neil cheered.
Rajat- Congrats man. You are going to rule.
Arjun gave a proud smile to Samaira & raised the collar of his sherwani with his other hand. Samaira & Nishi rolled their eyes.
"We will see. Nishi only smirked looking at Arjun.
Nishi- Anyway, I can understand that our newly wed couple is clearly not enjoying this childish game & our presence anymore. So, it's time for gift & conclude the ceremony. So, here are the tickets for three days honeymoon trip to Goa.
Samaira blushed & looked down. Arjun frowned.
Arjun- Goa? No no Nishi, it's not possible.
Nishi- Arjun you took official leave for a week, then only we did this arrangement.
Arjun- yeah I took leave but I have other important official works.
Rajat- hey relax Arjun, you just say, I promise I will handle the works.
Arjun- No you can't Rajat.
Then Arjun's eyes fall on Samaira who is silently sitting beside him but the cheerful look on her face was replaced by a disappointed look. Arjun looked at her for sometimes.
Arjun- Okay, I think I can manage for three days. Thanks guys for the lovely gift & thanks for being with us.
Everyone cheered. Samaira looked at him totally surprised. Arjun nodded his head & pressed his hand on Samaira.
Nishi smiled. "Okay Samaira let's go to your new room & have some girly talk & Arjun you stay here.
Arjun rolled his eyes. Nishi took Samaira on the bedroom.
Arjun- Rajat, be careful I will be out of station for three days, though Head Quarter is definitely going to do Official Arrangement. But you keep your eyes & ears open & for any kind of suspicious activity & emergency, just don't hesitate to call me.
Rajat- Okay Boss.
Nishi soon came out & told Rajat & Neil that it's time to give the couple some privacy.
Nishi- Now Arjun, give me Rs. 15,000/.
Arjun- for what?
Nishi- The bribe to join with your wife. Else I am not going to let you get inside & don't even try to negotiate.
