===================================

At that moment, the lights in the hall dimmed slightly, and a spotlight fell directly on Shivika. Seeing this, Shivika was startled and began to look around. Then, another spotlight focused on the door, and from there, Hardik walked in. As everyone saw him, all eyes turned to him, and Shivika's gaze also settled on him.

Hardik stood a little distance in front of Shivika, took the mic, and looking into Shivika's eyes, said, "I admit, I've made many mistakes, Shivika. You were so close, yet I pushed you away. You loved me, but I didn't accept your love. I had love in my heart, but I didn't acknowledge it. And when you went away, I couldn't bear the distance. I know, I've made not one, but many mistakes; I've hurt you not just once, but many times. But will you give me one last chance? A chance to correct all my mistakes? You can punish me for every mistake I've made, whatever punishment you give, I'll accept."

Hardik was speaking while looking into Shivika's eyes, and Shivika was both surprised and emotional upon hearing his words. Tears welled up in her eyes, while everyone else smiled as they looked at Hardik. Although they were surprised too, except for Prafull. But seeing Hardik express his feelings this way made everyone happy.

Hardik continued, "But I want you to punish me for every mistake after our wedding. I want you to give me every punishment after you become my wife. So, tell me, will you be my wife? Will you once again become that stubborn Shivika, who never left my side? Will you marry me?"

After saying this, Hardik lowered his hand and waited for Shivika's response. Shivika's tears had now turned into full-fledged crying. She covered her face with her hands and began to sob.

Her tears weren't of pain, but of joy. It was the end of her wait. It was the dream that had come true, standing before her as reality. Her every wish had become words that she was now hearing.

Seeing her so emotional, Shivaay came over to her and held her by the shoulders, pulling her into a hug. Shivika was still crying. Hardik's eyes were also filled with tears, but he just kept waiting.

Shivaay said, "Are you crazy? Why are you crying now? Don't let him think he did something wrong. And Hardik is such a coward, he might run away again out of fear."

Everyone smiled at Shivaay's words, while Hardik and Shivika glared at him. Wiping Shivika's tears, Shivaay said, "Come on, give him an answer now, or else he might have a heart attack waiting. And if he really does, who's going to do the surgery on this doctor?"

Hearing this, Shivika punched Shivaay on the chest, making him laugh. He moved Shivika away from himself and took a step toward Hardik.

Hardik was smiling and waiting with anticipation in his eyes for her response. Tears were still streaming down Shivika's face. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Unable to bear it any longer, she ran towards Hardik and hugged him tightly. Hardik also held her tightly and closed his eyes. Two drops of tears fell from Hardik's eyes as well.

Shivika, while crying, said, "You're so bad, Hardik, so bad." Hardik replied, "Whatever I am, I'm yours now." Saying this, Hardik kissed Shivika on her forehead, and Shivika closed her eyes.

Hardik took a ring out of his pocket and slipped it onto Shivika's finger, leaving her surprised. Hardik kissed her hand and said, "I love you, Shivika."

"I love you too," Shivika replied and once again hugged him. And everyone around them clapped happily.

Anokhi, holding Rishabh's arm and smiling with joy, said, "See, see Rishabh Ji, I told you Shivika Di and Hardik Bhaiya would definitely get together."

Rishabh smiled and pinched her nose, saying, "Whoever you see, you make them your sister and her future husband your brother."

Anokhi made a cute face and said, "They're all older than me, so what can I do? It's not my fault."

Rishabh laughed and kissed her on the lips, making Anokhi's eyes widen. She punched Rishabh on the chest, saying, "Rishabh Ji, how shameless you are, kissing me in front of everyone."

Rishabh, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer, said, "I can do a lot more in front of everyone, but you don't let me. And besides, no one's paying attention to us; everyone's focused on the new couple, so we can do a little more romance." As he moved closer to her lips again, Anokhi placed her hand over his mouth, pushing his face away, and said, "Absolutely not, let me go. I made a mistake holding your hand." Saying this, Anokhi freed herself from his arms and walked over to Shobha and Archana. And Rishabh just kept smiling at her.

Vikram, seeing Rishabh, said, "Man, you're always in a different world. It's a good thing everyone's attention is on Hardik and Shivika, or else what would happen to my princess?"

"I'll take care of whatever needs to be done. And you should focus on your future wife, not mine, Gossip Auntie," Rishabh said as he turned to look at Hardik and Shivika. The expressions and smile had both disappeared from his face. Vikram was left shocked seeing him.

"Gossip Auntie? You called me Gossip Auntie?" Vikram was about to say something more when Rishabh glared at him, so he muttered, "I'll definitely get back at you for this."

When Hardik and Shivika finally pulled away from each other, Prafull came over to Shivika, placed his hand on her cheek, and said, "I just want to see this smile of yours for the rest of my life. And I want you to always be the reason behind it, not the tears." Saying this, Prafull looked at Hardik, who then said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I won't let tears come into her eyes anymore." Saying this, Hardik held Shivika's hand tightly. Then Prafull said, "Not Uncle, call me Papa." Saying this, Prafull took out another ring box from his pocket and handed it to Hardik, saying, "Here, put this ring on Shivika."

"Papa?" Both Shivika and Shivaay said in unison. Both were surprised. They kept looking back and forth between Prafull and Hardik. Everyone else was doing the same. Hardik said, "Papa knows everything. I went and asked Uncle for Shivika's hand, and he gave it to me."

"Wow, you're really fast. I mean, before convincing her, you made him your dad?" Shivaay said to Hardik in surprise, to which Hardik laughed and said, "You're not my brother-in-law, you're mine. And yes, that's exactly what I did." Hearing Hardik's words, everyone laughed.

Shivika smiled, took the ring from the box, and put it on Hardik. Once again, everyone clapped for Hardik and Shivika.

"By the way, nice proposal, brother," Vikram said, and Hardik smiled. Just then, Rohit absent-mindedly said, "Man, I was going to propose today, and you stole the spotlight by proposing."

As soon as he said this, his eyes widened, and so did Ruhi's. Everyone looked at Rohit in surprise and then automatically turned their gaze to Ruhi, and they all said together, "Ruhi!"

Hearing everyone say her name, Ruhi got flustered. When she didn't know what to do, she hugged Bharti and hid her face. Seeing her like this, everyone smiled.

Surekha pulled Rohit's ear and said, "Oh, so this is what's been going on between you two secretly. What was there to hide? I've wanted to marry you two off since childhood. If you'd told me, I would've arranged your wedding long ago."

"You didn't say it then? Now you're saying it," Rohit said in pain, and Surekha let go of his ear. After letting go of his ear, Surekha came over to Ruhi. She pulled Ruhi away from Bharti, lifted her face, and asked, "Ruhi, are you going to marry the other fool in this house? Actually, I want you to say yes because I've wanted to see you as my daughter-in-law since childhood. So tell me, will you marry my one and only fool?"

Ruhi's gaze dropped in embarrassment. She smiled and nodded slightly. Just then, Rohit, annoyed, stomped his foot and said loudly, "Oh, come on, let me propose to her, let me ask her for marriage. You're asking her yourself, fine, then go ahead and do the wedding yourself."

Seeing his childish complaint and his annoyed face as he stomped his foot, everyone burst into laughter. Rishabh smiled, shaking his head inwardly, and said, "My house is full of drama queens. There's no shortage of actors here."

"Alright, Baba, everyone step aside from in front of Ruhi and let him propose," Dadaji said with a laugh. So, Surekha moved away from in front of Ruhi.

Rohit first glared at everyone for ruining his proposal and then straightened his clothes as he approached Ruhi.

He got down on one knee and took out a ring box from his pocket. As soon as he opened the box, the light inside the ring box turned on, making the diamond ring inside sparkle. Ruhi was smiling at Rohit, and so were the others.

Rohit looked into her eyes for a moment and said, "Ruhi, for that mistake I made in childhood, I've apologized a thousand times to your doll. After meeting you, I also said sorry to you, admitted my mistake, and you forgave me and confessed your love. But now, I want you to make some mistakes too, so I can throw a little tantrum, and you can persuade me."

Hearing this, Ruhi's face fell, and everyone glared at Rohit. Shivaay said, "Are you proposing or doing a drama like a movie actress? 'No, I won't do this scene; you'll have to do this or that for me?'" Shivaay laughed, and so did everyone else.

"Shut up! I am the one proposing, let me do it," Rohit scolded Shivaay to keep him quiet and then looked back at Ruhi, saying, "Look, don't pay attention to what they're saying. I'm proposing to you. What I mean is that until you stay with me, how will we know when we both make mistakes? Then, to make up, we'll have to sneak out of the house, and apologize outside. I want you to make up with me right in the bedroom."

"Rohit, if you say anything more, I swear the proposal is off, and I will break your head," Ruhi shouted, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.

Rohit laughed and said, "This is exactly the blushing face I want to see all my life. But I also want this redness not just on your cheeks, but in your 'maang' (hair parting), and that too in my name. So, tell me, will you give me the permission to fill your maang?"

Hearing this, Ruhi melted. She nodded, held Rohit's face in her hands, and said, "Yes, I give you permission to come back into my life, to stay as mine, and to be with me as my husband."

"Yes! Thank you so much, thank you so much, my love, my Aloo," Rohit exclaimed as he hugged Ruhi tightly and kissed her cheek. Ruhi then punched him in the stomach and pulled away. Her eyes were downcast with embarrassment. Rohit's words and actions, especially in front of everyone, left her too shy to look up at anyone.

Just then, Dadaji raised his cane and lightly hit Rohit on the back. Rohit started rubbing his back, looking at Dadaji, who then shook the cane at him, saying, "I see you've become very shameless. Now, quietly put on the ring without saying anything, or else you'll get another one, and this time it'll be hard."

"Yes, yes, I'm putting it on. Why are you scolding?" Rohit said, taking the ring out of the box, and was about to put it on Ruhi's finger, but then he stopped and, after thinking for a moment, said to Ajay, "Papa, give me another ring."

"What? But why?"

"Well, there have been three engagements here now. Haven't you heard the saying 'Three's a crowd?' So I'm putting the ring on Ruhi. While I'm at it, Ruhi should put a ring on me too, so our engagement is complete. That way, instead of three couples, there will be four, and then nothing will go wrong."

Everyone burst into laughter at Rohit's reasoning, and Ruhi facepalmed. Sanjay laughed and said, "Rohit made a valid point. Come on, someone get a ring for him too, or he'll just go off on his own."

"I'll get one," Surekha said and left. A little while later, Ruhi and Rohit exchanged rings, completing their engagement too.

At Swati's House

Shweta was patting Shwet to sleep. She wasn't sleepy herself, her eyes kept drifting to the door. Shweta thought to herself, "Does Swati often come home late because of work? How do they manage alone, and how does she work alone?"

Just then, she sensed some movement at the window behind the house, like someone was there. She panicked. She covered Shwet with a blanket and quickly went to the kitchen. She grabbed a knife from there. Sweat was forming on her forehead out of fear. She quietly moved toward the window, opened it, and raised the knife, but when she saw who was standing there, her eyes widened in surprise, and her hand slowly lowered.

She said in surprise, "Abhinav, you?"

Abhinav was also startled to see Shweta holding a knife, but then he said, "Yes, it's me. It's good to see you protecting yourself like this."

"But what are you doing here?" Shweta asked, holding onto the window grill.

There was an iron grill between Abhinav and Shweta, covering the window. Abhinav said, "Shweta, I saw Swati at Shergill Mansion, and I realized that you and Shwet would be home alone, so I came here."

"How long have you been here?" Shweta asked again, to which Abhinav softly replied, "For an hour."

Looking around, Shweta asked, "Then why do you need to stay here? Your bodyguards are here, aren't they? I know you’ve tell your bodyguards to look after me, Shwet, and Swati."

Abhinav didn't say anything in response to this, just lowered his face. He peeked inside the window towards the bed and asked, "Is he asleep?"

Shweta turned to look at the sleeping Shwet and nodded. Seeing Shwet, there was a slight tear in Abhinav's eyes. He asked Shweta, "Can I see him once, just see him and then I'll come back outside?"

Hearing this, Shweta looked into Abhinav's eyes. She could see the yearning in his eyes to see his child, and she couldn't refuse him. She nodded, and seeing her agreement, a smile appeared on Abhinav's lips.

Shweta slowly opened the door, and Abhinav entered the house. He walked slowly toward the bed and started looking at the sleeping Shwet. As soon as he saw him, a smile appeared on Abhinav's face, and he unknowingly began to stroke Shwet's hair. Smiling, he said, "Shweta, our son, the symbol of our love." Saying this, he gently kissed Shwet's forehead.

Shweta stood beside them, listening to Abhinav and watching them both. Tears welled up in her eyes too. When she found out she was going to be a mother, she was very happy. She had imagined that when Abhinav would find out he was going to be a father, he would be just as happy as she was. He would love their children just as much as she would. But it wasn’t written in either of their destinies. Neither Shweta could love and raise him, nor could Abhinav do the same. Shwet's parents had just remained as Swati.

Abhinav looked at Shweta, hugged her, and said, "I'm sorry, Shweta, I'm really, really sorry. I can't even imagine how much you must have suffered. At the time when you needed me the most, I wasn't there for you. I'm really sorry. I don't know what you must have gone through."

At that moment, Shweta pushed Abhinav away, crying, and said, "Abhinav, I don't want to talk about or remember my past life. Please, don't talk to me about it."

Hearing this, Abhinav stepped back two steps. He wiped his tears and said to Shweta, "Alright, Shweta, I'm sorry. You go to sleep, I'll be outside. Don't worry. I won't leave until Swati comes back." Saying this, he left the house, and Shweta closed the door and sat down against it on the floor.

She said to herself, "Don't do this, Abhinav, not in front of me. Don't fall apart like this. I won't be able to hold myself together seeing you like this. I'm not the Shweta you once loved. I'm like the broken pieces of glass now, and if you try to touch me, it’s you who will get hurt, you who will feel the pain. I’m already shattered. I don't want you to fall apart because of me too."

At Shergill Mansion

After the engagement, everyone was enjoying the party. A musician was playing a romantic song. Couples were dancing to it. Praveen and Shanaya, who were sitting on the side, were watching all the couples dancing.

Praveen took Shanaya's hand, kissed her palm, and said, "Shanaya, have you ever thought that one day we too will reach this beautiful point in our lives? Where everything will feel like a dream?"

Shanaya smiled lightly and said, "Praveen, I live this dream every day. When you're with me, it feels like anything is possible. You can do anything for me, Praveen. It's because of your efforts and hard work that you, I, and our baby are together."

Hearing Shanaya's words, Praveen pulled her even closer. He looked deeply into Shanaya's eyes and said, "It was your support and your patience, Shanaya. I love you so much. Now, I just want our baby to come into this world so that our wait will finally be over."

At that moment, the musician began to play a slow and sweet song, making the atmosphere even more romantic. Praveen took Shanaya's hand and slowly led her to the dance floor. Lost in each other's eyes, they began to dance slowly.

Shanaya and Praveen were lost in their dance, and seeing them, the other couples made sure to keep a little distance so that no one accidentally bumped into Shanaya. Unaware of all this, Shanaya and Praveen continued to dance, arms wrapped around each other. Praveen gently kissed Shanaya's forehead, rested his forehead against hers, and softly said, "By the way, Shanaya, as your pregnancy progresses, your face is glowing even more. Every time I look at you, I just feel like doing something."

Hearing this, Shanaya playfully slapped Praveen on the cheek and said, "Control your desires, okay? Aren't you ashamed of saying such things to your pregnant wife? You are shameless!"

Praveen laughed. He gently twirled Shanaya and then embraced her from behind. Surekha and Shobha were watching them and smiling. Suddenly, something came to Surekha’s mind. She asked Shobha, "Didi, by the way, why didn’t Alka come?"

"Oh, don't you remember? Alka is moving to New York for a few years. She only stayed back for Shanaya’s pregnancy, but after that, she will leave," Shobha replied.

"What? But why?" Surekha asked in surprise.

Shobha explained, "There's a patient there whom only she can treat, and she's also going to open a branch of her hospital there. She has been working on opening another hospital for many years, and now it's finally happening."

"Oh, that's great news! By the way, Didi, don’t you think it’s time to have Shanaya's baby shower? Her time is approaching," Surekha said.

Looking at Shanaya, Shobha nodded and said, "Yes, Surekha, I was thinking the same. With everything that has been going on in the house, we didn’t get the chance to think about it. But now that you’ve brought it up, we must definitely do it."
