Part 53:

"Riddhima will you get out already?? You're wearing a simple white suit...how long does it take??" Kripa knocked for the umpteenth time. Simone rolled her eyes and sighed.

Simone: we have to make sure she starts getting ready twelve hours before she's supposed to come down into the altar on her wedding day.

The door opened while Kripa and Simone were giggling. Riddhima stepped out in a white sleeveless suit heavily embroidered with white beads, wearing simple matching jewellery. Simone looked like she was bored out of her mind.

Riddhima: yeah Simone...you look totally thrilled to see me.

Simone: I'm very happy to see you Hun...I'm just failing to see why it took you 4 hours to get into that! Look at Kripa...being the good bahu and all...she's all wrapped in a sari and jewellery and she only took two hours...

Kripa: come on Simone. Give her a break...I'm not the bride...she is. So she gets to take as long as she wants.

Riddhima crossed her arms and looked at Simone smugly.

"Whatever" Simone rolled her eyes. "Can we go now? Everyone's waiting for her highness."

"Yeah, yeah...let's go." Riddhima rushed towards the stairs while Kripa and Simone just looked on with amused expressions. Riddhima stopped a few steps from the stairs and turned back to look at Kripa and Simone.

"Oh right...you two are supposed to escort me." She grumbled.

Kripa clicked her tongue and nodded. Simone and Kripa took their spots on either side of her and held her arm and shoulder as they descended from the stairs. After the first three steps, Riddhima groaned under her breath. Both Simone and Kripa looked at her confusedly.

"Could you two walk any faster? I'll grow old on the staircase itself." Riddhima mumbled. Simone rolled her eyes and shook her head. Kripa burst out into waves of laughter.

The second she stared laughing, Angad's heart skipped a beat then raced at abnormal heartbeats. Following his gaze, Armaan and Daksh also turned to look and saw their respective ladies walking down the stairs, dressed like angels.

Avantika and Dilip waited for Riddhima at the end of the staircase, carrying Aditya and Aditi, respectively. Riddhima touched their feet to take their blessings for the beginning of her marital ceremonies.

Angad came to Kripa and put an arm around her waist, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, making her giggle. Riddhima was shy all of a sudden, stealing glances from Armaan who was staring at her not even blinking. Ranbir and Kanya made their way towards them too. Daksh stood beside Simone, making sure he kept her distance. She looked at him and gave him a tight smile. He returned her smile without hesitation.

"You look beautiful." He managed.

"T-Thank you." Simone stuttered.

The elderly ladies started playing dhol and other musical instruments when Kripa, Simone, and Kanya started leading Riddhima towards where the mehendi women were waiting. A few of the younger women started dancing in the centre of the hall.

All of Riddhima's close female relatives and friends put turmeric and milk paste on her arms, legs, feet, and cheeks. After the haldi ceremony, Riddhima extended her palms and the lady in front of immediately started decorating them with henna. Once the designs were almost complete on all three ladies' palms, the lady asked the final question.

The lady: What name am I writing on your hand?

Riddhima's cheeks went scarlet red at the lady's teasing tone. But she decided to answer her anyway. "Armaan".

Kripa smiled at her and turned to the lady who was putting henna on her own hand. Riddhima was getting Armaan's name written on her palms....Kripa decided to get her husband's name. Seeing Kripa in deep thoughts, the lady giggled.

Another lady: so I guess you want your husband's name?

Kripa nodded. "Angad."

Riddhima and Simone both chuckled at her but the next question wiped their smiles off of their faces.

"What about you? What name would you like?" another lady asked Simone. Simone looked at her wide eyed and then blinked quickly, feeling the tears burning behind her eyes. She got up and walked towards the other end of the hall.

Armaan and Angad looked at Daksh while Riddhima and Kripa shared a look. Simone walked up to a group of girls and started mingling. Kripa sighed and looked at Angad for help. He nodded and turned towards Simone only to find the situation a little different. Simone was in the exact centre of the big room while about eight girls were behind her, dancing along the music. Then she started singing.

Simone:

Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum

Kanya Joined Simone as well:
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum

Ranbir joined the girls:
Ho, Kaajal Ka Rang Laaye, Nazrein Utaarne Ko
Baaghon Se Phool Laaye, Raste Sanwaarne Ko

Kanya:
Haan, Kaajal Ka Rang Laaye, Nazrein Utaarne Ko
Baaghon Se Phool Laaye, Raste Sanwaarne Ko

Simone:
Haan Mehndi Ki Chhaon Mein Geet Sunayein Bumbro
Jhoome Nachein Saaz Gaayein, Jashn Manayein Bumbro

Simone and Kanya:
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum

Kripa got up from her spot and hopped to the middle of the group, joining Simone and Kanya:
Khil Khil Ke Laal Hua Mehndi Ka Rang Aise
Gori Hatheliyon Pe Khilte Ho Phool Jaise
Bumbro Bumbro Bumbro Bumbro

Angad:
Ae, Khil Khil Ke Laal Hua Mehndi Ka Rang Aise
Gori Hatheliyon Pe Khilte Ho Phool Jaise

Kripa:
Yeh Rang Dhoop Ka, Yeh Rang Chhaon Ka Hai
Mehndi Ka Rang Nahin, Maa Ki Duaaon Ka Hai

Daksh:
Is Mehndi Ka Rang Hai Sachcha, Baaki Saare Jhoote
Haathon Se Ab Mehndi Ka Yeh Rang Kabhi Na Chhoote

All:
O Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum

Riddhima sang shyly from where she sat:
Chanda Ki Paalki Mein Dil Ki Muraad Layi
Jannat Ka Noor Leke Mehndi Ki Raat Aayi

Armaan echoed her words:
Mehndi Ki Raat Aayi

Riddhima:
Chanda Ki Paalki Mein Dil Ki Muraad Layi
Jannat Ka Noor Leke Mehndi Ki Raat Aayi

Rukh Pe Saheliyon Ke, Khwabon Ki Roshni Hai
Sabne Duaayein Maangi, Rab Ne Kabool Ki Hai

Kripa:
Yeh Haathon Mein Mehndi Hai Ya Shaam Ki Daali, Bumbro
Chaand Sitaare Rehkar Aaye, Raat Ki Daali

Angad:
Oh Chanda Ki Paalki Mein Dil Ki Muraad Layi
Jannat Ka Noor Leke Mehndi Ki Raat Aayi

Kanya:
Rukh Pe Saheliyon Ke, Khwabon Ki Roshni Hai
Sabne Duaayein Maangi, Rab Ne Kabool Ki Hai

Simone:
Yeh Haathon Mein Mehndi Hai Ya Shaam Ki Daali, Bumbro
Chaand Sitaare Rehkar Aaye Raat Ki Daali, Bumbro

Kripa, kanya, Simone:
Haan Bumbro Bumbro Shyam Rang Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro, Shyam Rang Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se, Oh Oh Tum
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se
Bumbro Bumbro, Oh Oh Tum
Bumbro Bumbro, Oh Oh Tum
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se
Bumbro Bumbro, Oh Oh
Bumbro Bumbro
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se
Oh Oh Tum
Bumbro Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro
Bumbro Bumbro

That night, after everything was wrapped up. Angad, Armaan, and Ranbir sulked over the fact that they had to stay away from their lady love. Avantika had decided on a "no-meeting-before-wedding" rule for Armaan and them. The other guys were supposed to keep an eye on him while the girls were guarding Kripa.

But of course, Angad and Armaan together meant some plan was cooking up. The last time they'd heard, Kripa was in the kids' room and the other three ladies were in Kripa's bedroom. Sitting in the living room, they saw Kanya and Simone walk downstairs into the kitchen. Seeing that this was the only opportunity, Angad and Armaan asked Daksh to keep a lookout while Ranbir went to the kitchen behind kanya.

Armaan walked into Angad's bedroom and saw a silhouette of Riddhima next to the window. He guessed she couldn't sleep. He walked up to her and put his arms around her waist, making her gasp.

"I knew you'd be awake...just like I can't sleep...you wouldn't be asleep."

She took a deep breath and nodded.

"Did I tell you how much I love you? You know...you haven't told me all day....you haven't given me my kiss that you promised either...it's not fair..."

Armaan felt her shoulders trembling. Was she laughing at him? He tightened his grip around her waist and to his surprise she went stiff in his arms.

"What's wrong baby?" He bent to touch his lips to her shoulder but she moved away and burst out laughing. It was then that Armaan realized something.

On the other hand:

Angad walked into the twins' room and heard the tap running in the washroom. He quickly looked at his sleeping angels, kissed them both gently, and flicked the lights off in the room. He stood next to the door of the washroom and waited for it to open. When it opened, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her against him, covering her mouth when she opened it to scream.

Angad: it's only me. Relax. I've missed you wifey.

When she struggled again, Angad pinned her against the wall, not removing the hand that covered her mouth.

Angad: I don't care what rules you guys make....I'm not going to stay away from you Mrs.Khanna.

"mmm..Hmmmm...mmmm!!" she tried to talk with his hand on her mouth and clearly failed.

Angad: mhmm...I love you too.

He lowered his head to touch his lips to her neck but she started protesting even more. A second later, Armaan's scream rang in Angad's ears. She pushed his hand off and burst out laughing. A second later, Angad's screams had joined Armaan's.

Riddhima stumbled out of the twins' bedroom laughing while Kripa came out of her bedroom laughing her head off.

Kripa looked at Riddhima. "Angad??"

Riddhima laughed louder as she nodded. "Yeah....and Armaan?"

Kripa nodded and laughed. An embarrassed Armaan stepped out of Kripa's bedroom while a red faced Angad walked out of the twins' bedroom. They'd both gone to the wrong woman! Angad had gone to his sister, and he'd actually romanced with her thinking it was Kripa just like Armaan had tried to get romantic with Kripa, mistaking her for Riddhima.

Angad frowned at Armaan while Armaan mumbled a sorry.

"It was dark....I couldn't see...." Armaan said sheepishly.

Everyone else walked up and joined Simone and Kripa in the laughter after they told their stories, embarrassing Angad and Armaan further. Avantika warned the men to behave and sleep. Before Angad left, he gave Kripa an I'll-get-you-next-time look.

The next day, during the entire day, everyone busies themselves according to the assigned duties and then at the time of the ceremony, everyone enjoyed with full music, dance, and masti.

Kripa handed Aditi to Naina and was walking towards the little group of women dancing when the music suddenly changed and Angad grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him.

Angad:

Baliye te mukhde pe dil lalchave

Armaan grabbed Riddhima and pulled her up too:
Laungda pe laskara jaanle na jaave

Daksh looked at Simone standing next to Naina, holding Aditya:

Baliye te mukhde pe dil lalchave

Ranbir circled Kanya:

Laungda pe laskara jaanle na jaave

Nishant nudged Kanan's shoulder with his:

Dekhe bina dekhe tenu raha bhi na jave

All guys left their respective ladies and gathered in the centre:
Roop saloona tere sono changda
Duppatta Tera..

Duppatta tera
Haye Duppatta Tera.

Haye duppatta tera
Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Duppatta Tera..
Duppatta Tera..
Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Kripa danced up to Angad:

Jaan meri jaan teri haye tere sadd ke teri sadd ke haan teri saad ke

Riddhima gently pushed Armaan back with her hands:
Jaana naiyo jana kabhi jana menu chad ke menu chad ke kabhi menu chad ke

Angad twirled kripa and hugged her from behind:
Saari khusi duniya ke tujhpe loota do yeh yeh

Armaan grabbed Riddhima's arms and pulled her closer:
Aaja teri rahoon mein jindagi bicha doo

Once again all guys danced to the centre:

Roop saloona tere sono changda
Duppatta Tera..

Duppatta tera
Haye Duppatta Tera.

Haye duppatta tera
Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Simone looked at Daksh dancing along with Kripa and Angad and smiled:

Yaar mera yaar sare jag se juda jag se juda ..sare jag juda

Kanya stroked Ranbir's cheek:
Pyaar mein to pyaar karu uspe fida..uspe fida. karu uspe fida

Ranbir held her hands and turned them palm side up:
Mehendi to gore gore haath mein racha le

Daksh looked at Simone and made his request through the song:
San sehzadi mujhe apna bana le

All guys in the centre once again:

Roop saloona tere sono changda
Duppatta Tera..

Duppatta tera
Haye Duppatta Tera.

Haye duppatta tera
Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Duppatta Tera..Nau rang da haye ni mera dil mangda

Then came the wedding day. Armaan couldn't be happier. He was looking at the clock every 5 minutes and complaining the day was moving too slow. This annoyed Angad and the other guys to bits. They understood, of course, but it was still annoying. Kripa was running a tight ship, making sure everyone did their job to make sure the wedding would go as smoothly as possible.

In Kripa's bedroom, Kripa, Kanan, Kanya, and Simone were helping Riddhima get dressed. Once they were done, they sat her down on the bed.

Kripa: you look absolutely gorgeous.

Kanya: tell me about it. Armaan's totally going to have a hard time keeping his eyes off of you during the wedding.

Riddhima blushed. Simone touched Riddhima's cheek with her index finger and giggled.

"See Kripa...I told you we didn't need to put blush on her….it comes naturally."

All the ladies laughed while Kripa slapped Simone's arm jokingly. "leave her alone. Let's go."

Everyone made their way to the door to join the wedding rituals downstairs when Riddhima called for Kripa. Kripa turned around to look at her and was surprised to see a fearful expression on Riddhima's face.

Riddhima: you think I'll make a good wife?

Kripa smiled gently, closed the door, walked to Riddhima and kneeled in front of her, holding both her hands.

Kripa: you're an amazing friend, an amazing sister-in-law, an amazing sister, and a wonderful daughter. You'll make the perfect wife. Armaan won't be able to find anyone better than you. You two are…….are like two puzzle pieces meant to be put together.

Riddhima: no matter how good of a wife I am to Armaan….I'll never be what you are to Angad.

Kripa: that's not true. Do you know why Armaan decided to help me with the whole plan for Naina? Not because he pitied me. Not because he was angered at Naina for separating me and Angad…but his main reason to jump into the fight was you, Riddhima. He couldn't tolerate the fact that you were denied of the love that was rightfully yours. He'd vowed in front of me to give you enough love to make up for what you've lost in the past. You mean more than life to him, Riddhima. Just like he means more than life to you. You love him, don't you?

Riddhima nodded tearfully.

"that's all that matters. Together you two will create the perfect world for yourselves. No matter what flaws you two have as individuals…as a couple, you'll be perfectly flawless." Kripa smiled up at Riddhima, squeezing her hands. "Now you stop worrying Miss Bride. We'll come and get you when its time."

Kripa gave her a hug and got up to leave when Riddhima spoke. "Hurry it up. I'm dying to get married."

Kripa giggled. "I'll try." She winked.

When Kripa got downstairs, Armaan was already sitting in the altar, the priest chanting hymns. She went straight to Angad who was sitting behind Armaan, carrying Aditi and Aditya. She took Aditi out his arms and sat close to him, resting her head on his shoulder, observing the wedding ceremony with satisfaction. Everything had worked out perfectly. All but one tangle had been fixed. That one tangle, however, would have to solve itself. Kripa had promised Angad that she won't interrupt. Daksh and Simone would fix things on their own.

When the priest summoned the Bride, Kripa, Avantika, and Simone got up. Riddhima was pacing impatiently across the bedroom waiting for them. They all hurried out of the room behind her, telling her to slow down but she was way too excited to stop.

Armaan stared at her with his mouth hanging open until she sat down next to him. During the rest of the ceremony, he found excuses to secretly touch her making the youngsters sitting behind them giggle while Avantika and Dilip just shook their heads.

When the priest gave Armaan the 'go ahead' Armaan and Riddhima took their holy seven rotations around the sacred fire. He filled her 'maang' with vermillion and put a 'mangalsutra' around her neck. She looked down at it and smiled, turning her cheeks pink when he shamelessly kissed her forehead in front of everyone. Following him, Angad kissed Kripa's forehead, making her giggle while Ranbir kissed Kanya's forehead. Kanan and Nishant shared a loving hug.

Armaan and Riddhima were seated in throne-like seats as everyone waited for the auspicious time for the bidaai. Then the dholis started playing their dhol. Kanan and Nishant took the three kids upstairs to put them to bed and keep them away from the noise.

When the music blasted, Angad let go of Kripa and rushed into the dancing crowd to celebrate his sister's wedding.

Angad:

Soniye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi Jaan Lagdi Jaan Lagdi
Haai Soniye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi
Heeriye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

He continued singing as he pulled Kripa up to dance with him:
Soniye To Soni Meri Heeriye To Soni Meri
Soniye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Riddhima looked at her brother with teary eyed. She couldn't believe that at one point in time she had thought he would break all relationships with her because she wasn't his blood sister. Seeing him dancing in joy right now, she felt as if nothing had happened in the past week.

Angad:
Bindiya Teri Bindiya
Kangana Kya Sajta Hai
Jhumka Tera Jhumka
Mukhada Jo Dekhe Chaand Sharmaaye
Dil Taaron Ka Tuut Tuut Jaaye
Soniye To Soni Meri Heeriye To Soni Meri
Soniye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Then surprising others, Daksh joined Angad reflecting the same joy as he danced away. Simone suddenly felt really proud of him and almost wished she could go give him a tight hug.

Daksh:
Sapana Tera Sapana
Rakhana Saja Rakhana
Makhana Kya Lagta Hai
Sajana Haai Tera Sajana

Riddhima got up and walked to her brothers:
Ho Doli Mangaa Le Tune Doli Chadh Jaaungi
Ghar Se Toh Jaana Hoga Dil Se Na Jaaungi

Daksh:
Soniye To Soni Meri Heeriye To Soni Meri
Soniye To Soni Meri Jaan Lagdi
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Deewani Meri Jaan Lagdi

Seeing Armaan Sitting All alone, Angad and Daksh went up to him, singing simultaneously:
Soniya To Sona Mera Yaar Lagda Yaar Lagda Yaar Lagda
Ho Soniya To Sona Mera Yaar Lagda
Ranjhiya To Sona Mera Yaar Lagda
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewana Mera Yaar Lagda

Deewana Mera Yaar Lagda
Aankh Jith Khole Dil Khaye Hichakole Dil Khaye Hichakole Bole Bole
Deewana Mera Yaar Lagda Ke Ranjha Mera Yaar Lagda

Deewana Mera Yaar Lagda Ke Ranjha Mera Yaar Lagda

At the time of Bidaai, Riddhima hugged Avantika and sobbed.

Riddhima: I wish I had a chance to spend more time with you, mom.

Avantika: I know…I blame it on Armaan. He's taking away my princess away from me.

Armaan: leh. Now they're all blaming it on me…waise Riddhima…tumhe yaad dila doon…mujhse zyada shaadi ki jaldi tumhe thi…aur waise bhi..I've decided that I'm staying in this house for the next year.

He looked at Angad and Daksh's raised eyebrows as well as Riddhima confused expression. He looked straight into Avantika's teary eyes.

"She's your daughter, Angad and Daksh's sister, before she's my wife. I won't take her away from you like that in a jiffy. I understand that you don't want to tolerate a monkey like me, but you kind of have to." He smirked.

Avantika smiled, hit his arm playfully and gathered both her daughter and son-in-law in a hug.

Angad and Daksh drove the newly married couple to their private suite booked in a hotel to give them their first night on their own, apart from the crowd. They'll be coming back home the next day anyway. After all, they were all going to live in the same house for the next year.
