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

Upon seeing her suddenly sit up, Omkar was startled and sat up as well. Noticing Riya's troubled expression, he asked, "What happened? What did you forget? And why do you look so tense?"

Riya glared at Omkar for a couple of seconds, as if telling him with her eyes how foolish he was, and then asked, "Wasn't your match supposed to be live telecast today?"

"Yes," Omkar nodded his head. Just then, something clicked in his mind too, and his mouth fell open. He slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot too! By now, everyone must have seen our video; the whole family must know about us. How are we going to explain this to everyone?"

"Why are you asking me? I didn't ask for it to be live telecast! I'm already stressed out, and I have no idea what I'll say to everyone," Riya said, becoming upset. Omkar then grabbed her shoulders, pulling her closer, and said, "Hey, why are you getting upset? Anyway, everyone had to find out about us sooner or later, and now that you've agreed, I was going to tell them soon so you could be mine as quickly as possible. So it's good that they found out."

"And what about all the questions they'll ask there? What will we do about that?" Riya said, glaring at him. Omkar kissed her cheek and replied, "We'll handle that when it happens. Don't spoil your mood now."

But Riya's face was still sad, so Omkar held her face close to his and said, "Okay, if my words aren't cheering you up, then I'll use my actions to do it." Saying this, he placed his lips on hers and began to kiss her.

The Next Day

Everyone at Shergill Mansion was waiting for someone to arrive, and once again, Anokhi was pacing back and forth in anticipation. But this time, there was no excitement on her face, only a slight hint of anger. Her face was puffed up with anger, and seeing her like this, Vikram was thoroughly enjoying himself.

He said to himself with a smile, "Now it'll be fun when this balloon of anger will bursts on Omkar!"

Hearing this, Rishabh and Preeti, who were standing next to him, stared at him, so Vikram shrugged his shoulders with a laugh. Just then, Omkar and Riya entered. Holding each other's hands, looking a little scared and nervous, they stepped inside the mansion. The moment they saw everyone standing together in the hall, their breath caught.

Anokhi stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at them. Omkar glanced around at everyone, noticing the disapproval on their faces. Seeing this, both Omkar and Riya grew even more anxious.

Riya, on the verge of tears, said, "Sorry..." Shobha then spoke, slightly irritated, "Sorry? This is such a big thing; you should have told us first, but instead, you told the whole world. And then we find out, not from you, but from the TV. And now all you're saying is sorry?" Riya's face fell.

Stepping forward, Omkar said, "Aunty, I know this all went wrong, but we didn't intend for this to happen. It just happened."

"Just happened? Omkar, is that your explanation to us? I never thought you'd do something like this," Archana said with annoyance. Omkar then turned to Alok and said, "Alok Uncle, you knew everything, please help explain it to everyone. And Anu, at least you don't be mad."

At that moment, Anokhi burst out, snapping at Omkar, "Why? Why shouldn't I be mad? Because I'm the youngest? I'm not a child! You all kept it from everyone, and you kept it from me too. You should have told me! You guys keep your love hidden from everyone. And tell me, how far has your love gone?"

Anokhi actually wanted to ask if they had secretly gotten engaged, but her words came out differently, leading everyone to smile, and Rishabh slapped his forehead. Omkar and Riya's faces turned pale.

Omkar quickly walked over to Anokhi, covering her mouth with his hand, and said, "Crazy girl, what are you saying? At least listen to yourself. Pay attention to your words when you speak. You're just saying anything!"

Anokhi removed his hand from her mouth and, making a face, said, "What did I say? I just..." she trailed off and started repeating her words in her mind. When she realized the other meaning of her words, her eyes widened in surprise.

She quickly turned to everyone and shook her head vigorously, gesturing 'no' with her hands, saying, "That's not what I meant. My Omi Bhaiya would never do anything like that; he's really good. I just wanted to know if they had secretly gotten engaged. Really, don't misunderstand Bhaiya; he's really, really, really good."

The Anokhi who had been angry now held Omkar's hand, defending him. Seeing this, a big smile spread across Omkar's face. Meanwhile, everyone who had been pretending to be angry with Omkar and Riya couldn't control themselves anymore and burst into laughter, leaving Riya and Omkar a little confused.

Dadaji came over to Riya and Omkar, placed his hands on their heads, and said, "Hey, we were all just joking. No one is angry with you two; in fact, we're all happy. None of us have any objections to your relationship."

Hearing Dadaji's words, Riya and Omkar were overjoyed, and they quickly touched Dadaji's feet.

Just then, Anokhi noticed Pandit Ji entering the mansion. She excitedly said, "Mom, Pandit Ji is here!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Pandit Ji. Pandit Ji sat down, and Shobha-Sushma arranged for tea and snacks for him.

Then Dadaji said to Pandit Ji, "Pandit Ji, now please find an auspicious date for Vikram and Preeti, and Omkar and Riya's weddings."

"Certainly," Pandit Ji said and opened his almanac to look for a suitable date. After a while, he said, "Look, Rishidhar, you can hold their engagement in three days, but for the wedding, there's no auspicious date for both couples together. You'll have to leave some days in between."

"Well, that's good, isn't it? We need time for preparations anyway. One daughter-in-law is coming, and another daughter is leaving," Archana said, and everyone looked at her.

Before anyone could say anything, Archana continued, "Uncle, you've given me so much respect and allowed me to stay with my daughter, and that means a lot to me. But I can't stay here forever, and I'm not going far anyway. It's just nearby, at Omkar's apartment. We'll move there."

"But Maa..." Anokhi started to say something, but Archana took her hand in hers and lovingly said, "Anu, I'm not leaving Mumbai; I'm staying right here in Mumbai. You can meet me every day, but staying here like this doesn't feel right to me. And now that Riya will be the daughter-in-law of this house, she should also get to experience the joy of her in-laws. Right, Riya?" Archana looked at Riya, who smiled and said, "Absolutely, Aunty, I have no problem with that."

"Yes, Aunty, you take her, and you should be a strict mother-in-law. Make her do all the cleaning, and cook a lot of food. We'll come over to finish it," Rohit said, giving a sideways glance at his mother, Surekha, who was glaring at him.

Everyone smiled at Rohit's words, all eyes turning to Surekha because she was the only one in the house who used to tease Anokhi and make her do household chores. Anokhi also started smiling quietly.

Archana then cupped Riya's cheek and said, "Oh no, absolutely not! Why would I make my child work?"

Anokhi said, "Okay, fine, don't make her work, but definitely make her cook, and we'll really come over to eat. Right, Vikram Bhaiya and Shivaay Bhaiya, am I right?"

"Yes, absolutely," both of them agreed in unison.

Just then, Dadaji quieted everyone and said, "Enough, enough! I didn't call Pandit Ji here to listen to your chatter; I called him to set the wedding dates. So stop your future planning for now."

Everyone fell silent as Dadaji spoke. Pandit Ji resumed looking through his almanac, and after a while, he said, "One wedding date is seven days from today, and the other is twelve days from now."

Hearing this, everyone started thinking. Just then, Surekha said, "Yes, that's perfect! We'll get Omkar and Riya married in seven days, and then Vikram and Preeti afterward."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Vikram because he was the most eager to get married. He was about to express this desire when Preeti lightly pinched his hand and glared at him as if to say, "If you say anything and make me even a little embarrassed, then watch out, not in twelve days, I won't marry you even in twelve years!"

Seeing her warning gaze, Vikram forced a fake smile and said, "Oh, why are you all looking at me like that? I have no problem; I'm happy, very happy!"

"Yes, yes, son, we all know how happy you are, but this is exactly what should happen to you," Sanjay said, making everyone laugh.

After that, Pandit Ji left. Once he was gone, Shobha said, "Now, the engagement is in three days, so there's a lot of preparation to do."

"Oh, why are you worrying about the preparations? These guys are here, right? Why do you think we fed them and raised them? So they can be useful. They will handle all the work," Alok said, glaring at Rishabh, Vikram, Hardik, Praveen, Shivay, Rohit, and Omkar. Vikram pointed to himself and said, "I should work? Hey, it's my wedding! How will it look if the groom works at his own wedding?"

"It will look great! You will set an example for all the grooms. So come on, get to work," Sanjay also said. Then Alok lightly clapped his hand and both of them got up and left. Ajay went with them, and the rest of the guys watched them leave.

Then Anokhi got up, placing her hands on her hips, and said, "Papa didn't say anything wrong. You guys do all the preparations; we'll handle the shopping. And I'm off to call Swati Di. She's the best for shopping. So, bye!" Saying that, she left with the others.

Hearing Swati's name, Shivay's face fell a little, and he told everyone he had some work to do and then left.

The next day, when Shivaay was just about to leave for the office in his car, his eyes caught sight of a bus parked on the road. It was a school bus. Seeing it, Shivaay told the driver, "Stop the car." At his command, the driver stopped the car.

Shivaay stepped out of the car, crossed the road, and walked toward the bus. Not far from the bus, there was a small ground where all the school children were sitting. All the children were wearing school uniforms. Shivaay walked toward the children. He looked around and saw Shwet playing with flowers in a corner.

"Shwet!" Shivaay called out his name, and Shwet turned toward him. As soon as Shwet saw Shivaay, a big smile spread across his face, and he shouted, "Shivaay Uncle!" running toward him.

Seeing Shwet running toward him like that brought a smile to Shivaay's face as well. He knelt down on one knee and spread his arms wide. Shwet ran into his embrace, and Shivaay lifted him into his arms.

"Shivaay Uncle, you’re here?" Shwet asked. Shivaay, fixing his hair, replied, "I should be asking that question, right? What are you doing here?"

"I'm not alone; all the school kids are here. Our bus broke down, so everyone is here waiting for it to be fixed."

"It's time for you to be home, right? So didn’t you call Swati or Shweta?"

"Why would I bother them? The bus will be fixed soon, and I'll go home," Shwet said, making Shivaay smile. He said, "By the way, if you’re heading home, would you like to come out with me?"

"Go out with you? Yes, I’d love to, but…" Shwet trailed off. Shivaay asked, "But what?"

"But will the teacher let me? In our school, teachers don’t let kids go with anyone else," Shwet said.

"Well, let’s ask the teacher," Shivaay said, carrying Shwet in his arms as he approached the teachers.

Seeing Shwet in the arms of a stranger, the teacher asked, "Shwet, what are you doing with him? And who are you?"

"Hello, ma'am, I’m Shivaay, Shivaay Parimal, Shwet’s uncle."

Hearing the name Shivaay Parimal, the teacher was a bit taken aback. She knew of him. She looked at Shwet, who nodded and said, "Yes, teacher, I know Uncle." Shivaay asked, "May I take Shwet with me?"

"Sorry, sir, but I can’t let him go without the parents’ permission," the teacher said. She was a bit nervous about refusing him, but she couldn't go against the rules, and Shivaay appreciated that.

He smiled and said, "Your school has very good rules. I'm sure every student here is safe. And alright, if I get Swati on the phone, then you’ll allow it, right?"

"Yes, if Miss Swati gives permission, I have no problem," the teacher replied.

Shivaay nodded and made a video call to Swati. At first, Swati cut the call. Seeing this, the teacher gave Shivaay a strange look, and Shivaay started to feel embarrassed. He called again, and this time Swati answered, angrily saying, "What is it? Why are you calling me? What do you think, you…" She stopped mid-sentence when she saw Shwet in Shivaay’s arms.

Squinting her eyes at them, she asked, "Shwet, what are you doing with him? And why are you wandering around in this garden? Why aren’t you in the bus? This is the time for you to be home, right?"

"Oh, come on, Masi Maa, calm down a bit. What happened? Did your boss yell at you again? And even if he did, just calm your anger down for a moment and listen to me. Our bus broke down, so we’re all in the garden. All the kids are here, see," said Shwet, turning the phone around to show Swati the children playing in the garden.

Seeing everyone and hearing Shwet’s words calmed Swati down. Then Shwet continued, "Masi Maa, the bus broke down, and I met Shivaay Uncle, so can I go with him? He’s taking me out. Please, Masi Maa, please agree."

Shwet asked in such a sweet and requesting tone that Swati couldn’t refuse. Shivaay just smiled as he watched her. Swati thought to herself, "Shivaay, if you use my Shwet, I’ll make sure you regret it. So I hope you don’t use my Shwet."

It was as if Shivaay had read her mind. The smile on his face turned serious, and in a slightly stern tone, he said, "Shivaay Parimal is not the kind of person who would use a child."

Hearing Shivaay voice her thoughts out loud startled Swati, and she averted her eyes from him, saying to Shwet, "Give the phone to the teacher." Shwet quickly handed the phone to the teacher.

Smiling, Swati said to the teacher, "Teacher, I know Shivaay Parimal. You can send Shwet with him, don’t worry."

"Okay, if you say so, I’ll give permission," the teacher said with a smile. Listening to Shivaay and Swati, the teacher had understood something. She handed the phone back to Shivaay and said, "You can take Shwet. And Shwet’s Masi Maa may be strict, but she has a good heart."

Hearing this, Shivaay smiled faintly and thought to himself, "I know she has a good heart. That’s why I’ve fallen for her, but she won’t let me into her heart. I’ve reached the door, but she won’t open it. She’s even locked it. Now, I don’t know where I’ll find the key to that lock."

"Come on, Shivaay Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Shwet’s words pulled Shivaay out of his thoughts. Shivaay smiled, pinched Shwet’s cheek, and said, "Yeah, let’s go."

"But where are we going?" Shivaay asked Shwet as he carried him toward the car. Shwet smiled and said, "I want to go to Juhu Beach."

"The beach? Okay, let’s go," Shivaay said, reaching the car. He told the driver, "Give me the keys, I’ll drive. You can take a taxi back home."

"Okay, sir," the driver said, handed over the keys, and left. Shivaay carefully seated Shwet in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and got into the driver’s seat. He started the car and headed toward Juhu Beach.

At the beach, Shivaay and Shwet had a lot of fun. They played with the water, built sandcastles, and despite Shivaay’s repeated refusals, Shwet insisted on eating a gola. Finally, Shivaay gave in to Shwet’s persistence and bought him a gola. But after eating the cold gola, Shwet started feeling a bit cold.

Shivaay pulled Shwet’s nose and said, " Eat more cold gola, didn’t I tell you not to?"

Shwet replied, "But it was very tasty," making Shivaay laugh.

Just then, a tea vendor passed by, and Shivaay stopped him, saying, "Give me two teas." The vendor gave the teas and left.

Shivaay told Shwet, "Drink this hot tea, it’ll take away the cold." Shwet tried to hold the cup, but it was too hot. Shivaay said, "Wait, I’ll give it to you." Shivaay blew on the tea to cool it down a bit and then gave it to Shwet, who smiled as he watched him.

Nearby, an elderly couple had been watching them for a while. The uncle said, "Such fathers are rare to see. Truly, son, you love your child very much." Hearing the uncle’s words, both Shivaay and Shwet looked at them. Their words wiped the smiles off Shivaay and Shwet's faces.

Hesitantly, Shivaay said, "Uncle, he’s not my son; he’s my little friend."

"Oh, but anyone would say you two are father and son, just by looking at you. See how much care you’re taking of him, just like a father," the elderly aunt said.

Shivaay looked at Shwet, whose face had fallen. Shivaay sat down, lifting Shwet into his lap, and said, "Aunty, you don’t need a relationship to care for someone. You just need to accept someone from the heart, and Shwet and I accept each other wholeheartedly, right Shwet?" Shivaay said, to which Shwet nodded with a smile.

Just then, Shivaay noticed that Shwet’s clothes were slightly damp from playing in the ocean. Now he started to worry that Shwet might catch a cold.

Shivaay told Shwet, "Shwet, your clothes are wet. I’ll buy you new ones, or else you’ll get sick in these wet clothes, and your Masi Maa will wring my neck."

Shwet laughed and asked, "Shivaay Uncle, are you afraid of Masi Maa?"

Shivaay glared and said, "Oh really, like you’re not? You’re scared too, aren’t you?"

Shwet replied, "Yes, I am. Masi Maa gets very angry. When she gets mad, she doesn't listen to anyone. "

Shivaay, remembering Swati's anger, thought to himself, "I know her anger... and I've even received a slap because of it."

Then Shivaay said, "We'll talk about the rest later, let's go first," and he took Shwet with him.

In the car, Shwet said, "Take me to the mall where Masi Maa works. I'll go home with Masi Maa."

"Alright," Shivaay said and turned the car towards the mall. He was happy inside because he was getting another chance to meet Swati.

After reaching the mall, Shivaay first bought new clothes for Shwet and then took him to the store where Swati worked.

When Swati saw them there, she was surprised and said, "What are you both doing here? Shwet, where is your school uniform?"

Shwet said, "Masi Maa, my school uniform got wet, so Shivaay Uncle gave me these clothes to wear so that I don't catch a cold."

Swati, folding her arms, asked, "And how did the school uniform get wet?"

Hearing her question, Shivaay and Shwet both looked at each other. Swati asked again, "Why are you both looking at each other? Will I get an answer or not? Shwet, how did the school uniform get wet?"

Shwet softly said, "Masi Maa, we went to the beach, and the uniform got wet from the seawater."

He knew that Swati would scold him for this, and indeed, Swati started glaring at him angrily.

Shivaay said, "Enough now, why are you getting so angry? He was perfectly happy, and as soon as he arrived here, now facing your anger. At least don't be mad at the child."

"Alright, thank you for keeping my shwet happy." Swati took Shwet from Shivaay's arms.

Just then, Shivaay took Shwet back, saying, "Hey, how did you just take him like that? He came with me, right?"

Swati again take him and said, "He came, right? So he will go home with me."

Shivaay took Shwet back and said, "At least ask him first who he wants to go with."

Swati took Shwet back again and said, "Why do I need to ask? I am his Masi Maa."

Shivaay took Shwet back and said, "Yes, and I am his Shivaay Uncle. He can go with me too."

Both of them were pulling Shwet like a ball, back and forth between them. Meanwhile, Shwet was looking at both of their faces, and everyone in the store, including the staff, was watching Shivaay and Swati.
