Today is Pranshi and Anay's engagement. It was organised in their home with only their family and close relatives invited.

Pranshi was sitting in her room all ready for the day.

She was fidgeting with her fingers and feeling very scared and nervous.

Ditya came to take her out. She smiled lovingly at her.

"You look beautiful. I am sure Anay nazre nhi hata paayega apni."

(Anay would be able to get his eyes off.)

She teased her. Pranshi smiled slightly and Ditya cupped her face.

"Relax. Kuch nhi hoga. Security bhut tight hai. Koi kuch nhi kr paayega."

(Security is tight. No one will be able to do anything.)

She said understanding her fear and Pranshi nodded smiling.

She held Ditya's hand and they went outside. Every eye turned to Pranshi making her lower her head in nervousness.

Pranshi was made to stand beside Anay who was looking at her just smiling like a love sick puppy.

Aadrik nudged him and he smiled sheepishly making everyone laugh.

Pranshi's Godh ceremony was done with the ladies of Anay's family surrounding her.

After that she was made to sit with Anay. The cousins had prepared a short, surprise performance for their youngest cousin.

Anay was in for a surprise when Pranshi too performed a special dance for him.

All the while that she was dancing he was smiling softly at her. As soon as her song finished he got up and went near her making her eyes widen.

He held her in his arms and they danced on a slow romantic song.

Then was the ring exchanging ceremony. Pranshi made Anay wear the ring and he did the same. He kissed her head after that and everyone hooted and clapped while Pranshi blushed hiding herself in his chest.

The photoshoot started. Since people were less it took comparatively less time.

After about an hour, Pranshi and Anay were finally taken to the dinner table. They had their dinner laughing and enjoying together.

Pranshi went to her room and came out of the washroom after changing.

She laid down on her bed and looked at the ring in her finger. She smiled thinking that she was going to get married to the man she had come to love.

Though a part of her was sad that she didn't have her family with her but she knew that at the end it would all be worth.

She was thinking about everything when her phone pinged.

Stop thinking about everything and sleep. Ye kuch din bhut tiring hone wale hai.

Good night.

I love you❤

She smiled seeing his message. Sending back a good night and i love you to him she closed her eyes and slowly slipped into slumber.

**************************************

The next day was Haldi ceremony. First Anay's haldi was done which was really messy. He was completely disheveled, thanks to his cousins.

After he was sent to take a bath, Pranshi's haldi was done. She was comparatively better in condition than Anay but was still all yellow.

She was sent to her room and Anay was called down. The puja was done separately for both of them.

Holy threads were tied to their wrists and ankles.

Since the rest of the day was free, the cousins decided to play games and have fun.

Since Pranshi and Anay were not allowed to meet each other, they divided themselves in two groups. Team boys and team girls.

All the men being married, were meeting and romancing their wives.

"This is not fair. All of you are allowed to see your wives. Mujhe bhi hona chahiye."

(I should also be.)

Anay grumbled at the na-insaafi happening with him. 

"Hoga. Tujhe bhi allowed hoga. Lekin after she becomes your wife."

(You will be.)

Adi smirked at him making him grumble like a child.

The news of Anay's impatience obviously reached the girls who left no chance of teasing Pranshi.

Pranshi and Anika bonded really fast. The two were busy discussing their lives as literal princesses.

**************************************

The next day was Mehandi. It obviously was organised in a common hall. 

Anay was really happy that alteast he would get to see her if not meet.

But that too was flop when he got to know that the arrangement for men was done in the backyard while the ladies were inside the house.

"Yaar aise thodi na hota hai."

(It does not happen like this.)

He had said as soon as he heard the arrangement making everyone laugh at his desperacy.

Pranshi was getting her hands and legs adorned with mehandi. She was smiling and looking at the ladies who were dancing with happiness.

She considered herself very lucky to get such a family. 

Thinking about family, she was remembered about her tauji and his family. She missed them terribly.

If they would have been here. Her tauji would be looking after everything, making sure everything goes well. Her tauji would be dancing with happiness like the ladies. She would get Pranshi ready for her functions and also advice her what is right and wrong. Her Swara di and Suyash would tease her about Anay. She would share her feelings for him.

Just thinking about it brought tears in her eyes. She bit her lip to control her sobs.

Dhriti who was coming out of the kitchen with the servant instructing her to serve juice to everyone, saw Pranshi.

She went near her and cupped her face softly. She shook her head caressing her face. Pranshi was trying to control her tears but now they flew down her eyes.

Dhriti hugged her and Pranshi cried in her arms. Dhriti consoled her and said.

"Itne happy mahaul mai aise nhi rote. Agar hamari dulhan hi aise sad ho jaayegi toh hum bhi toh sad ho jaayenge na."

(Don't cry in such happy atmosphere. If our bride will be sad then we will also become sad.)

Dhriti said making a sad face and Pranshi chuckled between her tears. Dhriti smiled and wiped her tears. After making sure she was alright, Dhriti went to attend the guests.

She made sure that whole evening someone from the family was there with Pranshi to make her feel relaxed.

After the function, everyone retired to their rooms. Anay was trying to sneek into her room but was caught by Viraj who dragged him away mercilessly.

Pranshi was feeling giddy and nervous yet happy. She was having mixed emotions. She wanted her family to be present here but she knew that this too was important.

Dismissing the negative thoughts she slept thinking about her big day. The day she was finally going to be his.
