Very soon they left to the Vardhans place it was decorated like a bride. All of them entered except Abhi he went to receive a call. Everyone had already arrived. Nobody else was invited for the roka. Only the engagement and reception were to be grand affairs the other festivities were only for the close ones. Mukti came down within seconds. She was looking gorgeous in the beautiful half saree and antique jewellery.
Nandini: ohhooo bhabhi you look amazing.
Preeti: aree meri beti kitni pyaari lag this hai kisika Nazar na Lage.
Preeti gestured something to Arya but Ishika held his hand and went with him.
( Don't get wrong ideas guys. Arya tho pura ka pura monkey hai patha nhi uske mummy ne kya kaha aur kya laega. Nalayak baccha. isiliye hamesha ki tarah Biwi hi kaam karegi.😝😉)
Preeti made Mukti sit and took the box. She opened the box and took out the bangles and made her wear.
Preeti: yeh na Abhi ke dadi ne banwaya tha mere dono betiyo ke liye. Sambhalkar rakhna.
Anirudh: uncle ek problem hogayi hai.
Anand Vardhan: kya hua Ani??
Karthik: yehi ki chachu Mukti missing hai.
Mukti: oyy mai yahi hoon.
Cabir: ma'am aap wait kijiye na.

Cabir: nhi bhai yeh tho Mukti ho hi nhi sakthi hai. Look how peacefully she's sitting. Woh bhi half saree. Hey Bhagwan kya kya dekhna padega.
Mukti: Cabir pleseeeee. Later na I'll give all my chocolates.
Cabir: uncle why did you guys stop.
Just then Abhi enters looking into his phone. Everyone's attention was on him. Suddenly he lifted his head and he couldn't move his eyes anymore. She looked gorgeous.
