**************************

To say that Dev and Sonakshi were stunned would have been an understatement, they looked at the picture and at each other once again, words failed them as they looked at the picture once again just as Riya spoke "Looks like bhaiya and Bhabhi are speechless looking at their childhood picture" she said as everyone chuckled looking at their faces while they were just quiet still trying to understand the happenings around them just as Dadi and Nani went up to them.

"What's the matter Tilu, you have not recognized Chutki?" asked Nani looking at Dev looked at her befuddled, she knew his nickname, he tried hard to remember the past just as Dadi asked Sonakshi "And Sonakshi, don't you remember Tilu?" asked Dadi as Sonakshi looked at her in surprise as well. They looked at each other trying hard to remember as a faint memory made way, a smile formed on their faces as both spoke at the same time "CHUTKI?" "TILU?" they said at the same time as the others chuckled while Dev and Sonakshi were looking at each other in surprise.

"Yes, Chutki & Tilu. That's what you both used to call each other" said Dadi looking at them as Nani added "You guys met 20 yrs ago at a wedding when we both had gone their along with you guys" she said as both kept looking at each other, memories from their childhood came flooding back to them as a smile made on their faces, their fights, their plays, then make-up with each other. Dev remembered his fascination with the Bengali wedding had started after that while Sonakshi remembered the brown eyed boy who used to pull her hair during their fight only to make-up by helping her sway in the swing.

"Aww..." said Nikki as she made way towards them "This is called childhood love" she said as everyone smiled just as Dadi said "You remember Dev how fascinated you were with the Bengali wedding that you wanted to have a Bengali wedding" she said as Dev ruffled his hair in embarrassment while Sonakshi looked at him in surprise while Dadi continued "And see today you are going to marry a Bengali girl according to Bengali Traditions" she said as he smiled.

"Now what are you guys waiting for? Put the ring on the other's finger" said Nani as Dev first made Sonakshi wear the ring as a smile and slight tears in her eyes made way which Dev wiped away and side-hugged her. After that Sonakshi put the ring on his finger as everyone applauded around them. There was an air of joy and celebration in the surroundings.

Nikki then pulled both the couples Dev and Sonakshi along with Jatin and Avni to the dance floor as a romantic number played in the background as both the couples engaged in a romantic dance. As the song ended the others joined them as they danced away into the night, celebrating the night of union for the two lovely couples. After around a couple of hours the night was called off.

******-----------******

The ten days after the engagement passed by quickly for everyone except Dev and Sonakshi, Sonakshi had taken leave from her work for 3 weeks starting one week before the wedding while Dev was forced to take leave from his work 3 days before the wedding day. Both were instructed not to talk to each other from 3 days before the wedding. All the arrangements were done by both the families. According to the Bengali tradition, Dev's attire for the wedding was sent to the Dixit house the night before the wedding. The media wanted a scoop about one of the high-profile marriages in the city but were forbidden and were told that pictures would be released for them after the wedding and all the rituals related to it were completed.
