Vaibhav and Sahil were on their way back home when Sahil asked.
"Bhai? How do you know whether you are in love?"
"Hmm. Whenever you are with the person you just want the time to stop and the moment they go back you start missing them. Their presence makes you happy. Just a thought of them and a smile appears on your face. You always look forward to meeting them. And the most important you get jealous when you see them close to someone else."
He looked at Sahil who seemed to be in deep thoughts. He knew what was going on in his mind and let him be. Sahil was thinking about everything his brother spoke.
Whenever he was with her he just wanted the time to freeze so that he can stay with her forever. They spent three hours together and he missed her the moment they dropped her back. Her presence did make him happy. He was thinking about her and had a soft smile on his face. He always finds excuses to stay with her. And lets not taok about the last one. He was very jealous of Dev.
He was thinking all this when the realisation hit him like a storm. He loved Pranati. He was in love with her all the while.
They reached home and he excused himself and went to his room. A goofy smile formed on his lips and a chuckle left from his mouth. He was having a strange feeling. A happy and giddy feeling. The feeling of being in love ❤️.

The next morning Pranati barged in Dev's cabin in anger and saw him and Adarsh laughing at something. They saw her and immediately sobered up. She went to him and showed him the screenshot.
"Explain!"
Dev looked at Adarsh and then back at her and opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"Sun yaar. Gussa mat ho hum bas teri help kr rhe the."
(Listen. Don't get angry we were just helping you.)
Adarsh answered for him. She looked at him with anger eyes with screamed 'explain'. He gulped and continued.
"Hume laga ki agar hum usse jealous krenge toh shayad wo apni feelings confess kr lega. Isliye-"
(We thought that if we make him jealous he would confess his feelings. That's why-)
"Tum dono ka dimag kharab hai kya? Tumhe kyu lagta hai ki wo jealous honge. Ek baat mai achhe se samajh gyi aur tum bhi samajh lo. He doesn't love me and i am just a friend to him."
(Are you both out of your minds? Why do you think he would be jealous. One thing i have understood and you also do.)
He again opened his mouth to say something but immediately shut up when he saw her glaring at him and nodded. She looked at Dev and he also nodded obediently.
She went back to her cabin and slumped on her chair and a few tears escaped her eyes. It won't be a lie to say that she had expected Sahil to say something yesterday but the moment he uttered the word best friend she lost it and snapped at him.
On the other hand Sahil was very happy. He realised that he loves her. He wanted to confess in a special way but before that he wanted to make sure that she doesn't have feelings for Dev. He went to her cabin and saw her concentrated on her computer screen.
She heard the door opening and saw him enter. He smiled at her and went near her. She looked up at him.
"Mujhe ek baat sach sach batana."
(Tell me one thing truly.)
She was confused but still nodded.
"Do you have any feelings for Dev?"
She looked at him as if he had asked her if she would like to eat non-veg.
"Aapka dimag thik hai na? He is like a brother to me."
(Are you alright?)
She said scowling. Yes, they considered each other as siblings. And Dev was doing all this on Adarsh's insistence.
"But i don't think uske intentions tumhari taraf aise hai."
(He has those intentions for you.)
Sahil said and muttered something under his breath.
"Sahil. Wo bhi mujhe apni chhoti behen ki tarah samjhta hai. Wo message usne Adarsh ke kehne par kiya tha."
(He also considers me his younger sister. He messaged that on Adarsh's insistence.)
She told him. He looked at her confused.
"Kyu?"
(Why?)
"Kyunki uss gadhe ko lagta hai ki aap mujhse pyaar karte hai aur aapko jealous krna chahta tha jisse aap confess kre."
(Because that donkey thinks that you are in love with me and he wanted to make you jealous so that you confess.)
She looked at his face trying to get a reaction from him. His eyes widened for a second but he composed himself and gave a nervous laugh.
"What! Kya bakwaas hai. Pura pagal hai ye."
(What nonsense. He is mad.)
He chuckled nervously and she gave a weak smile. 'Obviously why would he be jealous' she thought. Sahil was happy to know that she doesn't have any feelings for Dev and was dancing mentally when she said that they consider each other as siblings.
He was so happy at the moment and all he wanted to do was pull her in his arms and kiss her senseless.

The week passed by real quick and today was Rashi's engagement. She was getting ready and Pranati, Sakshi and Utkarsh were taking care of everything that had to be taken to the venue. Shweta asked them to go and get ready. In another two hours they were all ready.
Rashi was ready and they were waiting for the car.
"Kitni der mai nikal rhe hai?"
(When are we leaving?)
Rashi asked.
"Bas Aman mama gaadi mai gas bharwa ke aa jaaye. Phir."
(Let Aman mama get the car. Then.)
Pranati replied.
"Achha kaise kaise jaana hai?"
(How are we going?)
Sakshi asked this time.
"Tu, mai, Rashi, Aman mama ke saath. Bachho ko Utkarsh le aayega."
(You, me Rashi with Aman mama. Utkarsh will bring the kids.)
They heard a knock on the door and Aman entered. He smiled at them and greeted them. They smiled back and returned his greeting. He came in front of Rashi and patted her cheek lightly.
"Bhut pyaari lag rhi hai. Tum bachhe kab bade ho gaye pata hi nahi chala yaar."
(You look pretty. When did you kids grew up we didn't even notice.)
He said lovingly and caressed their heads. They started off for the venue. When they reached there Vaibhav's Tika ceremony was going on. Rashi was taken to the room adjoining which was booked for the bride. Sakshi and Pranati stayed with her. After about 45 minutes the Tika ceremony was over and they were called outside for Rashi's Godh ceremony.
Rashi was made to sit on the center of the stage and the ladies of Singhania family were doing the rituals.
The Godh ceremony was over in about 30 minutes and the stage was being cleared for the dance function. The function started with lighting the diya in front of Lord Ganesha.
One of Rashi's cousins performed the Ganesh Vandana.
Next was Dhriti and Aanchal's performance. Then was Utkarsh and Rashi's other cousins.
Vaibhav's brothers were next. The most iconic part of the evening was Rashi's Bua and Fufaji's skit. It was a funny skit depicting stages of a married couple.
Their cousins performed a surprise performance. It was a dance battle between Vaibhav's siblings and Rashi's siblings.
Then came Rashi's turn. She danced on Dilbaro and Raabta.
Vaibhav performed on Chashni and Ranjhana. Together they danced on Humdard and Humsafar.
They were lost in each other's eyes and their trance was broken by Dhriti who had bought the rings. They exchanged rings and everyone hooted and threw flowers at them.
The photo session started. First the couple clicked photos with everyone and at last when everyone was busy in eating their personal photoshoot was going on. Only the youngsters were with them. **************************************
