...The few weeks flew past really quickly and both families were very busy with wedding preparations. Anjali's wedding dress which Riddhima had designed was made and looked very elegant. The half term holidays came very quickly and Atul and Anjali had become very close during this time. The first five days of the holidays flew by with lots of last minute preparations, shopping and decorations...

...On the sixth day of the holiday the Mehendi ceremony was being held at the Gupta house in the evening. Anjali, Riddhima, Muskaan, Nikita, Radha, Nishi, Natasha and Sapna and a few other girls were sitting in the living room and conservatory applying their mehendi and having fun by cracking jokes and teasing Anjali.

While the girls; were having fun inside; the boys where outside in the garden helping Shashank to put up the tent with the help of members of The Khushi Events team. This was Shashank's business; they organised parties, weddings and other functions.

They had spread out and were working hard to get their jobs done; Armaan had gone inside as he was told to grab something from the kitchen, he was making his way back outside and taking a peek into the living room where the girls were sitting. His eyes fell onto Riddhima who was smiling and laughing, he unknowingly smiled at the sight but it was suddenly washed away when someone walked into him pushing him back. He looked up to see who it was before he said anything.

"Watch where you're going..." Vivik said angrily.

Armaan didn't want to create a scene here so he stepped back and let Vivik in before going out but instead Vivik stepped up to Armaan's height; "She's my girl...you best stay away..."

Armaan sneered at Vivik and they both looked as they were going to lash out at any moment, then Armaan decided to leave this matter for the moment and walked back outside.

Unknowingly to both of them Riddhima had witness this small scene and had become a little scared. Armaan went back to working in the garden with the guys until late in the evening; they finally settled down to relax after some time.

Rahul stood in front of the boys who were chilling; "Guys there's still things to do...we need to do up the tent?"

Abhi was very tired; "Kya (what) Rahul...how much more are we going to put up...can't you see it's already up..." he huffed.

Atul laughed; "He's right Rahul...it's already up..." he looked at the tent that the guys had fixed; "...not bad guys..."

Rahul frowned; "I'm talking about the decorations?"

"Tum ladki ho kya?" (Are you a girl?) Abhi was annoyed; "...Toh joa...lagalo decorations... (then go and put up the decorations)...I'm wacked out...I can't lift another finger..." he leaned back in his chair next to Armaan; "...the rest of the work can be done by the professionals...after all they're getting paid...we're not..."

Aagam sighed; "Actually you're right Abhi..."

"Ammy...you're very quiet...what are you thinking?" Atul looked at him.

"Kuch nahi..." (Nothing) Armaan was also very tired.

Abhi suddenly sat up; "I'm bored...chal andhar chalte hain..."(Come let's go inside)
