  Varad: "Di... You are also teasing me... At least you should be on my team na... Sharad will always be against me... By the way, where is he? Don't tell me he will not be able to come"...

Shriya: "Okay... I am from your side... Now, happy... He is in the office and will be late"...

Varad: "Always work... Such a boring person he is... Di... He has such a gorgeous wife and here he is busy spending time with his work rather than being with you"...

Shriya chuckles on hearing him... She twists his ear slightly... Varad pleads with her to leave his ear...

Shriya: "He isn't a boring person to live with... I like his company"...

Varad: "Oh hoo…  Am I missing something or has my brother changed into a normal being? Wait… now I understand it's your magic on him…  I am seeing him change positively and become like his earlier self…  Thank you for entering Sharad's life…  I can see in his eyes that he is falling for you… that's why he is changing himself to become a better person for you"…

Shriya just smiles at him as she doesn't understand what to say… Thinking if what Varad is saying is true… whether Sharad started falling for her… 

Seeing Shriya engrossed in her thoughts, Varad waves his hand in front of her…

Varad: "Di…  where were you lost? I was calling your name"… 

Shriya: "Nowhere… You were saying something?"

Varad: "Di… If you are comfortable then only answer… Di…  Do you have feelings for Sharad?"

Shriya pauses and looks at Varad… Varad senses that she is uncomfortable answering this question… asks sorry… 

Shriya: "It's not your fault Varad… Honestly, I don't know whether I feel something for Sharad or not… I am not clear about my feelings yet"…

Varad: "Oh… Di… If you have feelings then you should confide soon… No one knows what's in store for us in the future… so better to confess rather than regret it later"…

Shriya nods her head and at that time Asha comes towards them with teapoy…  Handing them their tea cups she asks them about their day… Harish also joined them and he gave some advice to Varad on how to live a simple married life…

………….

After freshening up, Shriya rummages through her wardrobe looking for something yellow to wear for the ' Haldi' function…  A door knock breaks her trance and seeing Asha she greets her and tells her to come inside…

Asha: "Shriya… this is for you beta… I went shopping and I found this dress for you… Will you try it for me?" 

Shriya thanks her, appreciates her choice and tells her that she is going to wear that dress…

………

Sharad impatiently waits for the signal to turn green… Asha had already called twice and asked him about his whereabouts… he somehow managed to pacify her….

Half an hour later, Sharad reaches and parks his car… He opens the side of the passenger door and takes out the box which is neatly wrapped and packed…

Sharad sees their lawn fully decorated with yellow lights…  In between there's a big round-like silhouette and underneath it a seat for a person… and that place is decorated with yellow flowers…

…….

Reaching his room, he tries unlocking the door… Finding it locked from the inside, he knocks on the door and tells Shriya to open the door…

Shriya: "Sharad… I am getting ready here… Will you please freshen up and get ready in Varad's room… Mom had already kept your kurta ready there"…

Sighing, he approves and goes towards Varad's room…

………..

Shriya starts getting ready in front of the mirror… Wearing yellow earrings which colour coordinate with her yellow dress …   She was going to put on bangles when she heard a door knock and Sharad's voice…

Unlocking the door, she sees Sharad ready wearing a yellow kurta… Both realise that they are twinning with each other and smile….

Sharad moves towards the wardrobe and keeps the box inside it without getting noticed by Shriya…

Shriya is engrossed in putting on the bangles one by one… Sharad goes towards her and clasps her hand…

Raising her eyebrows, she looks at Sharad with questioning eyes… Sharad shrugs, takes the bangles in his hand and makes her wear them one by one…

Sharad: "Let me help you in getting ready"…

Shriya doesn't say anything but stares at Sharad who is engrossed in making her wear bangles… After making her wear bangles, he looks at Shriya who points her fingers towards the anklet kept in the dressing table…

Sharad nods and makes her sit in the chair… He sits on the floor while holding the anklets… Keeping her foot on his lap, he buckles the anklet in her foot…

Sharad gets up and tells Shriya to wait as he has something for her… Shriya stares at the bangles that Sharad made her wear and traces her fingers on them…

Sharad stands in front of her and hands over the box to her…

Shriya: "What's this?"

Sharad: "You ask too many questions… instead of asking, why don't you open it and find it yourself"…

Shriya: "Why should I open others' belongings and check?"

Sharad: "It's for you Shriya… A gift from my side"…

Shriya unwraps the cover of the box carefully and finds a jewellery box inside… she looks at Sharad who nods his head in approval…

Shriya opened the box and was astounded by seeing an elegant silver necklace… She traces the design with her fingers…

Shriya: "Wow Sharad… The necklace is so stunning"… 

Sharad: "Did you like it? "

Shriya: "I loved it… thank you… Can you make me wear this?"

Sharad approves and stands behind her… He puts her hair in the front and makes her wear the necklace while looking at her in the mirror…

They both were gazing at each other's eyes without blinking…  A knocking sound breaks their eye contact…

They both look at Asha who is standing leaning on the door while smiling at them…  Shriya goes towards Asha…

Asha puts a black dot behind Shriya's ear and pecks her forehead… She compliments Shriya's look…

Sharad pouts looking at them and going towards Asha he complains that his mother forgot her first son…

Both Shriya and Asha chuckle… Asha twists his ear and puts a black dot behind his ears also…  Asha tells them to come downstairs quickly as the guests have started arriving and she is going to welcome them…

Asha tells Shriya to come with her and tells Sharad to bring Varad along with him…
