Manasa sat infront of the mirror, with her bridal attire on. RK's family members came early in the morning with the wedding saree and other jewelries. Anjali and Anshu stayed back with her to help her in getting ready. Anjali decked her with ornaments. She looked simple yet elegant. 
Anjali :"You look very beautiful Manasa. "

Ma: "Hm, what's the use of looking beautiful, when heart is not happy."

The smile on Anjaly's face faded.

"Do you know Anjali Ma'am., I never dreamt about a fairy tale wedding . Everything I wanted is something very simple, I just wanted to to be happy always. Money, fame, power, I never wished for these things. All I want is a simple life.
     Look at the irony, I am going to marry someone who is just the opposite.
   Sorry to say, but, As much as i know your brother, I truly believe all this marriage drama is just to ruin me."

Anjali held her shoulders and made her stand up.
"Manasa.., what all you said about my brother is correct. Money , fame , stardom, everything thing has made him so arrogant and rude. But Manasa, I know him from childhood, he grew up in my arms. And I swear, his heart is as pure as gold. It's just covered with some dirt. Once we polish it, we can see one of the best person in the world. "

Manasa kept her head low.

"Manasa, I believe you can do that. And from today onwards I am in your team. Not only me, Mom and Dadi will also be in your side.
      And one more thing, don't call me Ma'am anymore. You are my sister. You can either call me name, or call me akka. Fine..?"

For the first time from last two days , Manasa smiled. RK had a great family. Infact a lovely family where none of them is like him.

"Mamma... angel ready..?", Anshu came running inside with a toy he got from Misha. She also followed him to the room.

"Angel ah.. so you already kept a nickname for her..?" , Anjali took him in her arms.

"Yesh, she look like Angel."

"Thank you Anshu.." , Manasa said pinching his cheeks.

RK stood infront of the mirror, wearing his watch. In Deep Red and royal black Sherwani, he looked perfect as a groom.
