After everyone came and settled down the functions finally started, with Deepak and Rutu on the stage.

"Before moving forward, I observe those looks that you are giving me Mahira, so for you, I'm not hosting this.", Deepak said and both him and Rutu stepped down, and as Mahira asked, the event planners sent for a female host.

Their ring ceremony was also scheduled for today and hence that was the first thing to be done.
"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, so as Mr. Deepak Chahar has already commenced the evening I'll not waste your time in doing that, I'd like to invite both the bride and the groom on the stage for the ring ceremony.", The host squealed excitedly and as planned, Sakshi and Anushka went to Mahira, all the girls following closely behind, they accompanied her on the stage, Rishab being accompanied by his friends and family.

Ziva and Amelie were holding the rings on a platter, Rishab picked up Mahira's from there giving Ziva a cheeky smile and looked at Mahira, who was already staring at him with a sweet smile, and Rishab did what he had to, he went on his knees infront of all his friends,family and loved ones, earning a gallore of cheers and applauses from everyone present. He held that ring infront of her, Mahira just gave him a smile which he couldn't read, not one of overwhelm or surprise, but a smile that she always has on her face.

"Give him your hand you idiot!", Jaya nudged her from beside sensing if not the two would be lost in each other's eyes, but Mahira had a different plan, she too, like Rishab, kneeled down infront of him, and then gave him her hand, and the crowd erupted in another wave of chears, Mahira passed Rishab a smile who just kept staring at her with an unbelievable gaze and slipped the finger on her ring, she too took his ring from Ziva and slipped it on his finger, and then they both got up, Rishab held her hand and kissed on her knuckles, before Mahira went forward and squeezed his cheeks, kissing there.

The firecrackers burst around the stage and everyone clapped, engulfing the couple in hugs one by one.

"That was nice what you both did there han!", Sakshi bhabhi said as she took Mahira in a bone crushing hug.

After that, when everyone settled back into their seats, it was time for dance performances, the first squad was the kids squad that performed,all of them forgetting their steps and doing their own thing, the cutest sight ever. followed by Virushka who danced on Perfect by Ed Sheeran, and everyone was so mesmerized by their chemistry.

Mahi Bhai and Sakshi were sitting in the sofa beside Rishab and Mahira's, Mahira remembered about her wish, she turned to Mahi Bhai who was looking at his cheeku and pinched his arm.

"What?", He winced turning towards her.

"Aap kab bhabhi ke sath dance kar rahe ho?", She asked squinting her eyebrows.

"Kya?", Sakshi heard that and turned to them, Rishab just laughed from beside Mahira.

"Agar aapne nahi kiya na Mahi Bhai I'm telling you.....", Mahira said pointing a finger towards him.

"We couldn't even imagine someone talking to Mahi Bhai like this, excpet Ziva ofcourse.", Rishab said as he looked at them in adoration.

"Ye bhi mera dusra bachcha hi hai na!", Mahi bhai said patting her cheeks, and mahira smiled for a bit but changed her demeanor in an instant.

"Ye buttering nahi chalegi!", Mahira said.

"Mujhe batayega koi yahan kya ho raha hai?", Sakshi bhabhi asked in oblivion.

"No!", Mahira stuck out her tongue earning a glare from Sakshi.

"Look at those two!", Mahi bhai nudged Mahira and she turned towards the stage with an eye roll.

"My cheeku bhai is the best!", She muttered, and Mahi bhai heard that, so did Rishab they both looked at each other and shook their heads.

After that, every couple performed, Rohit and Ritika, Jaddu and Riva, Deepak and Jaya, Sky and Devisha, Faf and Imari even, and all the while Mahira just kept glaring at Mahi Bhai.

"Now! For the most important purpose we have all gathered here for! To celebrate the union of the two most beautiful human beings on the face of earth, and the way you both have touched the lives of everyone here, can't go unnoticed. So Rishab and Mahira, this is for you, from us.", The host said and the lights dimmed, Mahira looked around the hall, everyone was in their places.

"Aur koi surprise bhi aane wala hai?", Mahira asked him and Rishab shook his head.

"I don't know.", He said, it clearly said that Rishab had no idea of what was happening.

"Hello kids!", Vee Bhai's voice echoed from the stage and both Rishab and Mahira turned to him with a smile.

"These people literally forced me to be the first person to go on stage and talk.", He said pointing towards Ro and Mahi Bhai.

"At this stage of my life, there are only very few people that I meet for the first time and they leave a positive influence in my life", he said and sighed. "You are one of them Mahira.", He completed and Mahira just gave him a warm smile.

"I remember meeting you for the first time after a match against SRH, and isne kuch nahi dekha ki samne Virat Kohli khada hai, she came to me, and talked to me like you talk to someone you've known for the longest time.", Vee Bhai said and everyone laughed at that, so did Mahira, she agreed.
"And I also remember ki ye mujhse milne se zyada excited is baat se thi ki she'll get to meet AB de Villiers through me.", He said and Mahira head palmed.

"And I think that's when I felt a brotherly bond with you, you didn't care I was Virat Kohli, you treated me the same way you treat everyone, with kindness and compassion.", He finished, and Anushka Bhabhi climbed on the stage beside him.

"Main Mahira se first time London me mili thi, and I couldn't believe ki me,like the anti social me, got along so well and so fast with someone. You are a sweetheart Mahira, and I think the similarity in your personalities is what makes you both so loveable.", Anushka bhabhi said and Mahira gave her a flying kiss.

"I'm so glad ki is duniya me koi hai aisa who can compete with Rishab when it comes to non stop talking and mischief because main humesha sochta tha isse jo bhi shadi karegi, lifetime radio subscription milega use, but I'm glad he found someone who knows how to turn his radio off.", Virat bhaiya said and Rishab rubbed the back of his neck.

"We wish you both all the love and happiness, to a lifetime of chatters and travels. We love you.", Anushka bhabhi said and Mahira muttered a 'love you too'.

"Ab meri turn!", Deepak said as he ran up the stairs with Jaya and Virat bhai just shook his head at him, guiding Anushka down the stairs.

"Hello bachchon!", Deepak said with a wide smile, Mahira just rolled her eyes and relaxed on her seat.
"Main kuch achha bolne wala hoon baba!", He said and Mahira gave him a thumbs up.
"Honestly when I look back and think when did this ek dusre ko pareshan karne wala bond developed with you, mujhe kuch yaad nahi aata, I think we've always been like that, we only had male faces around, so when you came, it was nice having a female friend, and your warmth made me so comfortable ki I was my own self with you, warna main aise sab ke sath itna mazak nahi karta!", Deepak said with a warm smile, Jaya took the mic from him.

"He is right, I don't like girls being close to him, but the bond you two share, honestly main chahti thi humesha ki tum dono milo aur main waha rahun, for a whole ass Tom and Jerry ka episode. And I can also proudly say ki you are my best friend now.", Jaya said, Mahira was just smiling like a kid, and Rishab was smiling looking at her.

"Dekh Rishab abhi bhi time hai! Par since you are doomed, all the best for your future, bohot pareshan karna ise, aur agar ye tumhe pareshan kare to you already have my phone number!", Deepak said to Rishab last thing before jumping down the stairs and engulfing both of them in a hug.

"Kaafi mood kharab kar diya is gadhe ne tumhara haina?", Jaddu bhai said from the stage, him and Riva Bhabhi were there. Mahira just shook her head.

"Main zyada emotional baatien nahi karunga, kyuki abhi bohot log baki hai, aur sach bataun to mujhse hoti bhi nahi hai!", Jaddu bhai said with a chuckle making everyone laugh.

"You two are the most happy and cheerful people I've met in my life. Rishab is the most entertaining person, and Mahira is that person who would randomly walk on my door and say 'Bhai mujhe entertain karo na'.", Jaddu bhai said.

"Ab you've got an entertainer for life, you both take very good care of each other okay? And Mahira, Rishab mil gaya iska ye matlab nahi hi ki you can't come to me for entertainment. Mere paas kafi horror stories baki hai abhi bhi, aur koi sunta bhi nahi hai!", He completed and Mahira gave him a thumbs up.

"I remember jab hum Dubai me the for IPL, maine Mahira ke alawa kisiko inki horror stories itne shauk se sunte hue nahi dekha hai.", Riva bhabhi said making everyone laugh. "Sometimes I used to listen to a few things that he says and main aise ho jati thi ki like how can someone be this illogical, but Mahira, salute to your patience!", She completed herself and Mahira asked for a mic, it's the longest she has gone without speaking.

"Bhabhi it's not about patience! Aap logon ki choice ajeeb hai, Ekta Kapoor se achhe stories hote hai Jaddu Bhai ke paas.", She said from her seat on the mic.

"Nevertheless, a heartiest congratulations to you both, and Mahira, do not abandon me in the CSK camp.", Riva bhabhi said.

"You'll find me there only don't worry!", Mahira winked at her and Rishab took the mic from her because she would continue talking if not.

"Rishab, I've said this before, I'll say it again, agar use thori bhi inconvenience hui, to meri talvar aur tumhara sar." Jaddu bhai said and stepped down from the stage.

Next up went Shardul, Rutu and Ishan.
"Tbh knowing the fact that you are getting married is a little disturbing kyuki there is a possibility ki I'll not see my most favourite friend and the biggest CSK fan with us anymore at times. Maybe.", Rutu said and Mahira shook her head.

"It was so nice having you around in the dressing room, the way you used to laugh and cheer us all after a bad game, even though we hardly had any bad games, and just the way I could be myself with you. This was the first season which I properly played like since the first match, even though the team was winning, I was very disappointed in myself for the first few matches, but just talking to you made me feel so positive at that time, thankyou so much for being my 3am friend, though I'm a little sad that maybe you won't be my 3 am friend anymore, but I'm also very happy for you two.", Rutu completed with the warmest smile.

"Like Rutu said, you both are very positive people, I've pulled on so many pranks with you both's assistance, and now that you are getting married, I can't wait to work on a team with you both and execute some master pranks on our fellow team mates!", Ishan said taking the mic from Rutu.
"Main thora third wheeling karu to mujhe maaf kar dena han! Your turn", He completed, handing the mic to Shardul.

"It's not everyday you meet someone and just being around them makes you feel happy, you are one such person Mahira. I don't remember when was the last time I made a female friend apart from Ritika before meeting you.", He said with a slight chuckle. "You two are the most friendly people around! Bohot travel karna sath me.", He said with the sweetest smile and Shreyas came up taking the mic from him.

"Hello guys! Main toh kya hi bataun in dono ne kitna mujhe pareshan kiya hai oh my god!", Shreyas said head palming dramatically making everyone laugh.
"But nevertheless, I've got the best bhabhi, hum dono milkar iska jeena mushkil karenge, haina mahira?", Shreyas asked and Mahira just nodded with the widest smile, Rishab just glared at them both.

"Even though my gift from either of you is still pending, but still I love you two so much! Ek trip pe mujhe bhi le chalna apne sath please!", He completed with a wide smile, everyone came one by one and gave their blessing and poured their love leaving the two kids speechless.

"Now that you both are gonna be in Delhi maybe, please come to my place I'll be waiting, and we don't ever want to hear anu complaints Rishab!", Sonu bhai said before giving the mic to Faf, him and Mahi bhai the only people left.

"Umm... So I was just made aware of this a few hours ago so I couldn't properly prepare what to say, India and this CSK family has always felt like home, so I wasn't shocked by your warmth and kindness tbh, I have received it always by the people here. But I also agree with everyone here, you are a sight for sore eyes, someone who doesn't even need to communicate to make you feel so happy, just you have that vibe which is why we all love you so much. I had a packed schedule not lying, but I couldn't miss your wedding for the world, and after hearing about the way you reacted to the news of me not coming, I had to be here.", Faf said.
"And I know you are also very disappointed by the fact that I'm not going to be with you all in CSK, but whenever you'll need me Mahira, I'm just a call away, team has changed, not my love for you all!", He completed after a deep breath, clearly visible that even he is not very happy with the shift, and that was an emotional scene for Mahira, being the emotional fool that she is, a few drops of tears finally fell down her eyes, she did a good job of controlling herself till now, Faf stepped down the steps and engulfed her in a hug kissing the side of her head with a wide smile he sat beside her on the arm rest.

"I will miss you a lot!", Mahira said, more like whispered.

"Why? I'm still gonna be there, just at a different hotel!", He said ruffling her hair.

"Yaar tum toh abhi se emotional hogayi! Main baki hoon abhi.", Mahi bhai said on the mic and a wave of laughted erupted, Mahira turned towards him with a wide smile wiping her tears.

"I saved myself for the last, finisher hoon na!", He said sticking a tongue out, again making everyone go heart eyes.

"It rarely happens with me that I'm left speechless, but today when I saw you both exchange rings, it really did make me speechless, two of my most dear ones, Rishab ke bare me main kya hi bolun, mujhe aaj bhi wo din yaad hai jab he came to me, like a kid, scared to shake hands, aur mujhe wo bhi din yad hai when I met Mahira the first time, not bragging at all, but she is the first person I've met after becoming the captain of India who gave no shits to the fact that I am who I am, jaise ki cheeku ne bhi kaha, the confidence and grace she carried when we first met, wahi se I guess we developed that bond that now you are that one person I love like I love my Ziva.", He said.

"You are so brave and nice in your own way, at times even I am left wondering ki how can someone be this happy always?", Mahi bhai said and Mahira asked for the mic once again saying a "I learnt it from you", on it.

"I just want to say that, no matter what happens, you have this brother of yours always standing behind you whenever you need me, both of you. Be good to each other, because there ain't no person in this world I would trust Mahira with more than you Rishab, and same goes for you Mahira,he is a gem, always keep him happy.", Mahi bhai said earning emotional smiles from both Rishab and Mahira, and as he was stepping down the stairs, he was engulfed in a tight hug by Mahira who met him halfway on his way back.

"I would like to say something too!", She gestured to the host, and Mahi Bhai escorted her up the stairs to the stage.

"Since you all have already made me emotional, and left me speechless, I mean, me, speechless, these two words don't fall in the same line.", She said and chuckled before continuing.
"It already means the world to me that such busy people have taken out time from their schedules to make me happy, but what you all did right here, this is the biggest achievement of my life I swear, no amount of travel or money or awards will ever bring me this happiness." She said taking a deep breath.

"Virat bhaiya, I had read so many article's on your arrogance, but you are the sweetest soul on this whole planet I swear, a kid in an adult body, aur inhone aapko first isliye bheja, kyuki aap aise bhi sab cheez ke first hi ho.

"There is no combination of 26 alphabets than will explain efficiently how much I love you Mahi Bhai, the best thing that I got out of my association with BCCI is our bond, thankyou so much for,well, just existing. And for everytime you were there for me, I can't believe I've randomly ranted out to The Mahendra Singh Dhoni so many times, And Sakshi Bhabhi, you are truly my second mother, the way you take care of me, it's just... So overwhelming. I love you both the most.", Mahira completed talking and looked at Rishab who was already looking at her with hopeful eyes.

"And to my special one, thankyou for doing so much for me, from planning surprises to making sure I have my meals, you've done it all, never in my life did I thought that I'll fall so deeply and madly in love with someone. You are the one God created and set aside for me. He straight from above sent you, and you understood the assignment. you are my remedy when I am stuck in the toughest situations and the only person I want to share my life with. I may have never told you, but you are the most handsome man I have ever met. And knowing that you are mine, I feel the happiest woman on the planet. The spark in your
