DIL BOLE ISHQBAAAZ! ( An Ishqbaaaz ff)

Episode 80

Next morning, the haldi ceremony starts...everyone in the family is wearing yellow clothes.

Shivaay: om, have you seen anika?

Om: no. I've not. In fact I was going to ask you the same. Chote papa told me to check if she's ready.

Shivaay: okay, I'll go and check.

Om: wait! Have you seen gauri?

Shivaay: no. I thought she was with you.

Om: let's go and see where they are.

Shivaay: yes, you're right. Let's go.

(dadi comes)

Dadi : no billu, om you can't see anika and gauri until haldi ceremony gets over.

Shivaay: what?!

Om: But why dadi?

Dadi: because that is the part of the ceremony. Your haldi and anika's and gauri's haldi will be done separately.

Shivaay: but why dadi?

Dadi: stop asking questions and go and sit for your mahendi.

Shivaay: (gets sad) okay dadi.

(they go)

Later...

Shivaay's and om's haldi ceremony starts...

Jhanvi puts haldi on shivaay...

Jhanvi: god always bless you and anika.

Shivaay: thank you Badi ma.

Pinky puts haldi on shivaay...

Pinky: always remain happy.

Shivaay: thanks mom.

(and then one by one everyone put haldi on shivaay....

and then dadi takes a different bowl and puts haldi on om.)

Dadi: I hope that gauri and your love blooms just like shivaay and anika's love...or even more than that.

Shivaay: (laughs) no dadi! No one can beat anika and I!

Om: (smiles) we'll see!

Shivaay: so, you admit that both of you love each other?

Om: n.. No...I mean...dadi, let's just continue the ceremony.

(everyone laugh)

One by one everyone puts haldi on om. Then tej's turn comes. He puts haldi on om's face but om tries to back away.

Tej: I know a lot of things have happened in the past. And I really have realised my mistakes. Look at you, all grown up. Your marriage is today and I ...I feel that years flew so quick. I know I was really mean and a terrible father perhaps. But won't you give me another chance? Please? Atleast on this special day of yours? I'm really trying to be a better person. Please forgive me.

Om: I'll try...I don't promise but I'll try.

Tej: thank you. (he hugs om) congratulations. Hope you have a great married life.

Om: thank you.

(everyone smile seeing this sweet scene...all except for rudra.)

Dadi: come, now let's take these bowls of haldi to Anika and Gauri.

Later....

Anika and gauri's haldi ceremony starts.

One by one the family members put haldi on anika and bless her.
