  "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to dear Harshad happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuu." we all clapped hands when Harshad cut his cake. Even though we were in the middle of some filthy high class resort but I wanted my mission to be accomplished. "Now it is my turn to give the gift for my brother." Aliya declared. She started dragging him to the car and I pushed him inside the car then we drove off leaving everyone in the resort. 

  "What are you both up to? Take me back, I have to be there. What will guest think about me?" I was really questioning whether he was questioning us or himself. "Your gift will come when you do a ritual." Aliya said and we both drove off. Fab4 is distracting all the party from their singing. We took Harshad to a temple and we made him sit around the holy fire. Priest was chanting some mantras and Harshad would have questioned us if we did not do away from there. 

  I made the lady who wore the red lehenga whose face was hidden. Harshad jerked me to sit beside me "Who is she? What is going on?" he asked and I think this may have plus point. "Do you know any ritual of marriage?" I asked to which he nodded his head in no. Jackpot! "Wait till this end, then I will tell how marriage is performed." I said and did all the necessary arrangements for further ritual. The priest asked for parents of the bride so I got the temple's priest and his wife to do the ritual, kanyadan then they did all ritual and the most awaited people arrived. Welcome to none other than Saxena couple.

  "What the hell is happening!?" Mr. Saxena's voice boomed in whole temple. There were only quite some people so all heads turned in out direction. "Harshad you wanted to know what are all the marriage rituals. I gave you the practical demo. You are married. Happy married life." I said and Harshad's eyes were wide like socers. I can even imagine the lady's confusion. "Who the hell gave you right to do his wedding when he is already engaged?!" Can't this man keep quiet for some time. My ears are going to explode. 

 "Dad we will explain you why we did this. When you announced Harshad's engagement with that Kiara we thought of making some background check. So when we did, I got the most shocking news. Kiara dated almost all the celebrity in all the field. Just last week she was involved in some drug case. I thought once she would me married she will change, but she has very dangerous plan. She is currently pregnant and the baby's father is some gangster. He has planed to make Kiara marry Harshad dump him after a year and ask alimony about 50% of the property so they can settle in some other country. Even your so called best friend is the part of this plan." She handed all the proofs which Mr. Sinha collected. 

  "These are the proof." I said. "I didn't know my daughter has grown up." Mrs. Saxena said in a teasing tone for Aliya. "Ma, it was not me but Nandini who took the initiative to look for a background of Kiara. If she did not do then we would have witnessed the destruction of Harshad's life with our own eyes." Mrs. Saxena was shocked, but just gave me a smile by saying a thank you. If I would have been in her place I would never do that. Who will say thank you for her husband's illegitimate child? I knew then she was really a humble woman who did not believe in holding grudges.

 "Who are you ?" Harshad asked who was still processing that he is married. At the same time fab 4 entered the temple. I took the veil of the lady who had her eyes equivalent to soccer. Harshad was at the verge of fainting but quickly drank the water which was kept in a bronze container. "Who is she?" Kabir asked  as he and Mukti were not aware of the bride. "She is Gunjan, Harshad's long lost love and now the current love." I said and Gunjan was really confused. "Did you kidnap me to marry Harshad?" She asked still confused Aliya and me nodded our heads in yes having a big smile. "They are going to kill me. They will kill grand ma too. I have to go....." Harshad didn't let her finish as he held her hand in assuring that will be there. Awww so cute. It just few minutes they are married that they are helping each other. 

  "Gunjan, don't worry. Your grand ma is safe in hospital for the treatment of her leg. About those pigs, we have informed the police how they tortured you and forced you to marry that that bull." Aliya said. Saxena couple looked at our side to explain everything so I started "When you announced that you will marry off Harshad to gold digger sl..." I gulped the word as it was not appropriate to use such words in temple. "I mean gold digger girl. We looked into all the woman Harshad dated and she was the only option as she was unmarried and rejected Harshad due to the fear of her family. So we did a little background check and got to know the real fact of her wedding. We didn't have much time so we acted like the one from groom's side and kidnapped her without her knowing. Rest all of you know." I completed my story.

  "come let's head home we have further ritual to complete. Ma, don't worry about the kundali. We had discussed it with priest and he told that today was the auspicious day." Aliya said and Mr. Saxena said something to Mrs. Saxena and went away. I don't know where did he go? 

 I opened my notepad which I created in google notes.
