Arjun stood there speechless and just kept on staring at roshni he did not know what did she mean by what she said.roshni said what happened devarji cat got your tounge…arjun came out of his shocked state and replied to her sternly and said I have given you the reason for not agreeing to marry you before roshni bhabhi but just cause you are my bhabhi i will repeat it for you…I was never in love with you we liked eachother and we were seeing eachother for a while…when we were together I never gave you any false promises nor did I mislead you…I was very clear about my feelings…seeing the look on roshni's face he mellowed down a bit.
He sighed and said roshni if I was not sure whether I wanted to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you how would I ever be able to keep you happy…you don't have to worry about riya…I am very sure about her I want to get married to her and want to spend my entire life with her…I don't know about the future but I certainly will promise you that I will try my level best to keep riya happy and fulfill all her wishes.
Roshni stared at him for a while and said I hope you keep this promise arjun I don't want my baby sis to ever get hurt do you understand.arjun just nodded.
Roshni turned and left she was thinking why did you not want to marry me arjun was I not good enough…is there anything wrong with me…how are you so sure that you will keep riyu happy when you were never sure about us….anyways why am I thinking all this I love sameer now I think I am being too protective about riyu.
roshni has a problem with me getting married…does she still have feelings for me…no no this cant be true she loves sameer bhai she must be just worried for riya that's it.he shook his head and decided to go to sleep instead of thinking about all this.
Next morning mukherjee residence
Aparna:panditji these are the kundli's of arjun and riya please tell what date will be shubh for conducting their marriage.
Pandit ji:bitiya according to these kundlis their marriage should be conducted within 2 weeks because there is no other shubh muhrat for another 2 years for them.
Aparna said but pandit ji itni saari tayariya itne kam time mein kaise karenge,bitiya this is the only shubh muhrat the next date is after two years.abhay said that's fine panditji we will talk to riya's inlaws about this and then get back to you.
Aparna called sameer about this surprisingly sameer was okay with it they talked about all the rasams taking place…aparna told him that let the roka take place this evening and the engagement day after and the rest of the rasams we will decide that on the engagement itself is that alright…sameer said as you wish ma we will come today and perform the roka ceremony in the evening.
Sameer informed arjun about this…arjun seemed happy with this and said okay bhai jus tell me when to be ready
Sameer said ready…tu khai nahi jaa raha arjun…arjun asked why meri shaadi hai aur mein hi nahi jaaunga toh ajeeb lage ga na…ha ha very funny aaj shaadi nahi sirf roka hai aur roke mein dulha not allowed hai mere bhai….arjun said yeh stupid rasmeh banayi kisne hai yaar…hum ye sab skip karke seedhe shaadi ki rasmein nahi nibha sakte….arjun itna utavlaa math horiya kahi bhaagi nahi jaa rahi aur waise bhi sabar ka phal meetha hota hai…arjun just scowled at him and left from there.sameer laughed and said thank god panditji ne itni jadhi shadi ki date fixed karva di agar 2 years wait karna hota toh pata nahi bechaare ka kya hota.
Aparna informed riya about her roka…riya was very happy she couldn't believe that she would be getting married in two weeks….but then all of a sudden her smile vanished and she had this frown marring her forehead…aparna asked what happened to you suddenly you seemed happy a while ago
Riya said mumma I have not shopped yet I don't have anything to wear for this evening…what am I going to do about this crises…aparna laughed and said that we can go for shopping right away….riya's smile came back and said that's a good idea lets go then we can shop for my engagement dress as well.
It took them two hours for shopping…riya selected a beautiful golden anarkali with delicate silver work for her roka and a beautiful violet lenhenga choli for the engagement…
riya texed arjun and asked him to wear something that suits with her dress during the engagement arjun replied riya pehle shaadi toh hone do yaar tum toh pehle se hi orders dene lagi…riya laughed at that and replied abb bahut der ho chuki hai mr raute now your stuck with me for life…arjun smiled at that n replied I already know that riya…the thing is that I want to be stuck with you for the rest of my life…riya blushed at that and just sent a smiley face…arjun replied abhi itna sa charming hua hu riya aur tumhari bolti band hogayyi shadi ke baad tumhara pata nahi kya hoga.riya replied shutup arjun abhi mujhe tayaar hona hai roke ki rasam ke liye mein tumse baad meh baat karti hu bye…aur tum charming banna band karo aur tumhari meeting pe dhyaan do...arjun replied bye and asked will you go out with me tomorrow…our official first date….riya blushed and replied yes…arjun said sure then I'll pick you up at 7.30..bye…miss me in the roka ceremony….riya replied I will a lot…arjun smiled at that and then focused on what the client was saying.
Every body was present in the hall riya came down and every body was awed by her beauty…shree's parents had also come because there was no one elder in the raute family to perform this ritual.
Riya sat on the sofa…shree's mother came and put a beautiful red jardosi work chunari on riya's head she did her aarti and applied tika…smeer and roshni performed the same they fed her mithai…shree's mom said kea b aapki riya humari ho gayi hai…riya's family became a little emotional at that…riya called her mum near her and asked her chotu bhai and bhabhi kab aayenge…she took their name and at that time chotu and zenia entered…riya saw them and squeeled bhai bhabhi aap log aa gaye…zenia said arrey kaise nahi aate humari gudiya ki shaadi tai ho gayi hai…chotu came and hugged riya and said gudiya tu itni jaldi badi ho gayyi but anyways I am very happy for you…arjun is a very nice guy…who tujhe humesha khush rakhega aur tera khyaal rakhega…riya just gave a teary smile…she was happy that she was getting married to arjun but at the same time was sad that she would have to leave this house where she spent her childhood and go to her sasuraal leaving this house full of happy memories behind.
Roshni pulled her mother to a side and said that ma itni jaldhi kya thi aap log saari tayaariya itni kum time mein kaise karenge
Aap logon ko 2 years wait karna chahiye tha…aparna said tu chinta mat kar hum sab handle kar lenge aur riya aur arjun in 2 hafto meh hi shaadi karna chahte hai…aur 2 years wait karna would not be appropriate beta…roshni just nodded…
