As the day of wedding approached, Lakshmi had to handle both work at office and home which made her stressful life more stressed .

She packed all the kids clothes required for a couple of days which mounted up to three large bags. She then helped Anu in packing her stuff , who is currently having wedding jitters. She also had to help her sister pack her clothes too and god knows why her sister is also having jitters .

Soon everything was packed and she laid dead on the bed with a tired face into the pillow .
Ibbu looked at his mother who is hugging the blanket and sleeping soundly in the mid noon. He sighed at her . He doesn't really understand why his mum wants to take everything upon her head and tire out herself like this....
His little face shows how much he cares and worries about her right now.....

He laid down the curtains and turned on the AC. He looked at his mother's luggage and opened it without making noise. He looked around and saw that she forgot to pack a few things which she always packs.

He went inside the washroom and bought out sanitary pads, placing them in a newspaper and then kept in between her clothes.
He took out his mother's clips, safety pins and rubber bands and other small things she didn't pack .

After making sure that everything has been packed, he zipped the suitcase and then kept it back in the same position in a corner.

He looked at his mother before closing the door and left for his room.

Soon it was evening and all the members in the house were ready in their comfy wear. Lakshmi rushed the kids into the car and threw a duffle bag at Anu which had snacks stuffed in for kids . Her daughter will go all ballistic over 'no food' .

Tej and druthi helped their father into the car along with the luggage as lakshmi locked the main door after making sure that all the lights have been turned off.

They soon reached the airport and then reached the boarding point. A guard escorted them towards jets which had already been arranged. A few of their relatives have been waiting there as all of them greeted each other. There were a few who were shocked seeing Lakshmi who is still breathing and roaming informs of them with kids . Well , now the knitted story of how she lost her memory has been resold to everyone after they got on plane......

Lakshmi glimpsed at arjun's jet before getting into Rahul's plane along with noor in her arms. Anu and few of their cousins too joined in along with her. Ibbu and rest of siblings along with their grandparents and few other relatives boarded the private jet prepared by Arjun.

As soon as they landed in deharadun, it was around 7 in the evening.

After making sure that all her kids are present , she along with them walked along carrying a water bottle for them in one hand . She forced Neelu to drink some water and then made noor to sip a mouthful. Otherwise these children for sure will forget that there is something called 'water' on this planet to drink .

" daddy! " neelu shouted loudly followed by the rest of the kids who jumped on to their father.
Lakshmi got a mini heart attack .
She stood still staring at them.
Then she looked at noor who raised her arms for her father to hold her.

What did this god damn man feed her children?!

Arjun had been looking at Lakshmi from the time he spotted her. He waited for her from a long time in the airport . He smiled looking at how his children were ecstatic about meeting him. He thought that lakshmi would send back the children the next day as she said on the phone but later his eldest son called and informed him that they would be staying back.

He looked at Lakshmi who is holding on to noor on her hip in a knitted cardigan along with camisole shirt paired with jogger pants.
He can't be blamed at staring at her because he never gets to see his wife wearing such outfits....

In his eyes
She looked young and cute
And more over she is with his children which made him feel like he has branded her as 'his only' .

As many people were staring at them, Lakshmi had to walk out along with him as she didn't want her relatives to catch hold of her private life.

She buckled up the kids in back seat and looked at her husband who is talking with her parents. Her mother smiled and conversed with him , along with her siblings who very much act as if it's normal but her dad....
He looked as if he wasn't interested in having a word Arjun as he asked his son tej to get him seated in the car.

From deharadun to Mussoorrie , it was another tiring travel and it was around midnight when they reached the distination.

Lakshmi looked at sleeping noor and Advaya , she lifted them each in her both arms and took them to her suite while Arjun followed carrying Neelu and abhimanyu. Ibbu held the arms of his brothers who were walking beside him and guided them behind his parents.

Soon the kids were laying on a big bed and lakshmi almost cracked her knuckles while relaxing the muscles on her back.
That was one heck of a tiring journey.

She turned off the light and entered her own bedroom. She was more than happy to find him nowhere. As soon as she took a shower, her room delivery arrived and she dug in to the starters she ordered.

She drank a bottle of water and then slept after making sure that the main door was locked.

The morning arrived sooner than the kids expected. They grabbed the sheets pulling it over their head as they heard thier mother's voice.

Neelu and noor woke up and lakshmi first rushed them into shower and showered along with them.
" Mumma
I didn't have yesterday night dinner" Neelu said pouting under the shower.

" it's okay baby we shall order heavy breakfast after we get ready
Okay? " Lakshmi said while patting her cheeks. Anything is worth compromising except for food according to Lakshmi .
Maybe this was because of what she had faced in her past....

After they got out,
Lakshmi rushed the rest of the boys into the washroom and they popped out within 5 minutes making lakshmi wonder if they have really washed themselves well.... 'well , it's fine if they don't stink....' She thought while rubbing their little squeeze bodies with towel .

She dressed up Neelu first in her set of clothing.

Then helped noor to get into her clothes

She gave all the boys a yellow kurta and white pants each to change into and then combed their hair back with gel to set in a place .

She went back to her room and changed into the dress she prepared for haldi.

After she was done, she simply braided her curly hair and paired it up with a pair of jhumkas along with a little over 5 seconds makeup.

She rushed the kids out and took them towards the reception. She was about to ask for the direction of buffet when she noticed someone standing close to her.

She turned her head over and saw that it was Arjun . He was dressed in a yellow kurta and white dhoti as he stood tall behind her . He nodded at her and took the kids along with him with her tailing behind them .

Arjun had been waiting in the reception as he knew that they should pass by to reach the buffet.
He saw lakshmi in white lehanga looking both simple yet elegant. He couldn't describe how he felt at that moment . Seeing her smiling at her kids while she tried to arrange hair for one and pull down the shirt for the other ....

He guided them towards the buffet where their table has been already reserved. He let the kids sit as Lakshmi followed behind him towards the stall along with Ibbu.

She placed items one by one in the plate and passed them to Ibbu as he went and gave it to his brothers. She looked for Neelu because that little kid has a unique appetite every day.
She found near a stall , her height was not even above the table so she had to lift her plate up with her both arms .
" more !! I want more !
You put or else I will bring my Mumma !
Put MORE!!" Neelu screamed making a scene .
Lakshmi almost wanted to run off from there seeing her kid act like a mini Godzilla there . As soon as lakshmi saw Neelu coming back with a satisfied smile on her face with her plate on verge of spilling , she went towards the table and as she saw Neelu climbing on to her chair on her own .

Lakshmi patted Neelu's head and was about to bring food for herself when she felt a hand on her back. She turned around to see Arjun indicting her to sit down. She gazed at him sharply but controlled herself from reacting as she knew that there are many eyes around them.

She sat as Arjun kept a plate in front of her and Lakshmi ate it quitely. Arjun felt a little happy being close to her.... He felt butterflies in his stomach seeing that she ate what he bought for her..... He bought all those that she used to love eat before.....
Though he knew that she stopped herself by seeing the people staring at them....
But still, he felt happy . A smile etched on his always cold face.....
He sat beside her on a chair and served the kids whatever they want and didn't allow lakshmi to move from her seat.

Though all he wanted to was to show how much he cares about her , but this got on to her nerves because she couldn't accept all this when she knew how black his heart was.....

After the breakfast was done, the boys followed their father and Neelu too ran away following her father. Noor was the only kid still sitting dumbly on her chair while looking at her brothers leave and then those grape like eyes turned to look at her mother . And the little girl has a bad hunch looking at her mother's eyes spilling love .

" baby
Your mother is soo pitiful
Everyone left except for you...
Mother will love you forever and forever " lakshmi said kissing her lil daughter all over her face making the little girl frown a little.

Lakshmi lifted her up in her arms after wiping her hands and mouth. She went to venue where the haldi was held. She looked at the little over 200 guests who are present.
Songs were played in the background along with ladies chatting and laughing.

Anu's office collegues too had come , so they all were having a photoshoot.
Lakshmi went and applied haldi for Anu after the elderly women had applied.

" apply well lakshmi beta!
Hope she gets a little of your luck and blessings too! " One of her relatives said loudly making other ladies laugh and start another conversation about her. How she had so many kids at once. How lucky she is to have such a caring in-laws.
'my foot' she thought while listening to their Gossip but kept a smile on her face.

Youngsters and kids played around while lakshmi interacted with her relatives about her life, occupation and how she was managing her father's business which was all they asked about. Of course, most of the ladies heard from their husbands about how this one girl came back to her father's company and changed it's fate in a day, so they were careful while they conversed with her .

After the photoshoot, it was already noon and all of the ladies are together. Lakshmi, druthi and her mom were talking when she saw Alexandro, Rose , Alphonso , stephano and Phenolpe coming together.

Lakshmi was shocked seeing their presence while Stephano grinned seeing the little girl's expression.

" you hurt me darling
Do you not want me here? " stepahno asked looking at Lakshmi acting hurt.

" you should be on Rahul's side " Lakshmi said as Stephano hugged her. Alexandro nodded at her while Rose squished noor's cheeks.

" we haven't dressed for the occasion." Phenolpe said looking at the other women around her dressed up in colorful dresses and unique decorations around.

" it's not a problem.
We have another ceremony for tonight " lakshmi said as she texted tej to book another room for them. She came to know that rose's mother was pregnant again and she couldn't travel as she went back to her parent's home to which Lakshmi nodded in response .

All the ladies had lunch together and lakshmi ordered a room delivery for Rodriguez's as they must be tired.

She returned to her room with noor and saw Arjun helping kids to remove their clothes. She kept noor on the bed and went to her room. She removed her blouse and was about to get out of the skirt when the door creaked open. She turned around quickly and saw that it was Noor who ran inside. She was about to walk towards the door to lock it when she saw Arjun entering the room quickly behind Noor.

Arjun wanted to help Noor change her clothes but the little sprout sprang from the bed and ran out from the room. He paced behind her quickly to catch hold of her because he knew that she has a tendency to fall whenever she runs.

What he didn't expect was to see lakshmi standing in a bra and holding her skirt up near to her waist as soon as he entered the room.
" get out! " he heard her scream and got out of his trance. He stepped back out of the room as the room door shut on his face. All his mind is now filled with her .

Lakshmi took in a deep breathe and turned towards Noor the perpetrator who is sitting on the bed.
" maa cool " Noor said rubbing her little arms and lakshmi quickly turned on the heater. Not wanting her little girl to catch cold...
This little incident has already been forgotten....

She took a bath along with noor and slept in their robes.

As the alarm rang after 2 hours, Lakshmi quickly got up and placed her clothes out. She left her room and went inside children's room to see them sleeping. She woke up Noor and then Ibbu.
" Ibbu beta, take care of your brothers. I will take your sisters to the ceremony. It might be a little late at night okay?
So order food to your room if you guys don't want to have it in buffet okay ? " she said as Ibbu nodded and then almost slept while he kept nodding . He is tired....
Lakshmi kissed his forehead and he turned around to enter the room when he felt a pat on his butt . He groaned at his mother and jumped into the bed while Lakshmi giggled from behind .

She took Neelu to her room. She got the little girls ready in 30 minutes and she took herself another 30 minutes while watching them take selfies.

(noor's dress 👆)

(Neelu's dress 👆)

(lakshmi's dress 👆)

She took Noor in her arms and held Neelu's hand as they walked out of the room , making sure that Ibbu locks the main door.

As she reached the venue for mehendi, she heard loud songs . Many ladies were sitting on the cushions and they were getting their mehendi done with their mouths moving non stop.

Lakshmi looked at saraswathi who joined her half way as she took Noor from lakshmi's arms and played with her a little while walking beside lakshmi . They sat in a muslin yellow tent for the bride as the artists were busy working on Anu .

Lakshmi looked at mahika from a afar with a group of ladies chatting with her. She was getting her mehendi done while she noticed Lakshmi looking at her from a distance. Mahika turned her face away with shame when she remembered how those punks had backfired her in the mansion.
Though rage filled within her, her face never lost her harmonious smile that she displayed in public....

Lakshmi turned down to look at her fingers lazily .
' these type of people, can never stand for long ' she thought to herself thinking of all the emotions portrayed in manika's eyes....
