"We should complete the ring ceremony first. It's almost the time when the priest asked us to do it", Supriya said as everybody nodded their head. 

Tara's head was down as she continued looking at the pattern on the red carpet. Her legs were already hurting with the heels. She wanted to remove them but again she was in no mood of embarrassing herself.

Why did he have to be this tall? She asked playing with her fingers.

They were asked to stand up for which her Bhabhi was about to come to her to help her when Arjun asked her to stop. He held Tara's hand helping her stand removing the flowers on her skirt which people threw at her during her entry.

Tara felt embarrassed at the way he took care of her but still, she felt a tiny bit happier.

People were looking at her whispering something in each other's ears.

Like how the boy is already head over heel for her.

Like how the boy is smitten by her beauty.

Blah... Blah...

Tara didn't hear anything while Arjun heard every single word spoken by the guests but somehow controlled himself feeling his innocent angel beside him all ready to be marked by him.

He made her wear the ring he specially asked his designer to design. 

Her Bhabhi forwarded the ring to her. She took a deep breath and was about to make him wear the ring when Kenit and Kinshuk came in between.

"Not this easily best friend", Kenit spoke which made her frown.

"We have a few demands, you need to agree with before getting engaged with our big brother", Kinshuk said proudly looking at Arjun who glared at him making him look down gulping.

"Get away from between them before I need to do it myself. Let them complete the ceremony", Roshni told them pulling their ears. They winced as she pulled them aside.

"You can continue, sweetheart", Shraddha said caressing her hair as she nodded.

She gulped before making him wear his ring with a shivery hand. Sweat beads can be seen on her forehead as she completed the ceremony.

"Now we can speak right", Kenit asked raising his hands as Shraddha shook her head before nodding.

"You are bullying her just because she is your best friend", Roshni pointed out as Kinshuk nodded shamelessly.

"So the first demand is that you would not scold us like a typical Bhabhi. You need to follow our orders", Kinshuk said as Tara blinked at his words.

"Say that again", Arjun asked making him gulp before shaking his head.

"Did I say anything? No, right Kenit", he asked pleading his brother who just shook his head.

"You would cook the food we would love as well. Bhai's choice in food is very bad", Kenit said as Kinshuk nodded with a puppy face.

"She is not going to cook anything for you both. Next", Roshni spoke as the two brothers sighed.

"Don't forget your two best friends after getting married to our big brother. We don't have any other friends", Kinshuk said which made Tara smile as she pinched their nose.

"Hey, not the nose please", Kenit spoke shaking his head making everybody laugh.

"She is your Bhabhi from now on, stop troubling her. You need to respect her", Roshni said as they both nodded.

"Now touch her feet", Shraddha said as they stared at Tara's face with shock.

"What? No, we are not doing any such thing. Badi Ma, she is one month younger than us", Kenit said as Kinshuk nodded.

"But she is older than you in relation and, learn to call her Bhabhi", Shraddha said as they stared at Tara silently asking her to deny this.

"It's fine, aunty. They are like my brothers", Tara said as Shraddha shook her head knowing the twins very well.

"We have prepared dance performances", Kenit spoke as the others nodded.

"At least let them have food", Anav said finally speaking in between knowing his spoiled twins very well.

"They can have starters, Papa", Kinshuk pleaded.

Arjun whispered something in his father's ear who just nodded his head.

"Kids, think about everyone. Let them have food and then do what you want", Aadhish spoke and of course, the twins could never speak in front of their Bada Papa.

They just nodded their head as Arjun walked down first before helping Tara walk down managing her lehenga so she won't feel uncomfortable.

They walked to the giant table especially for the groom and bride's close family

.Tara looked at her Bhabhi wanting her to sit near her as her mother was very busy speaking to the other guests.

Trisha looked at Tara before walking to her.

"Bhabhi, I don't want to eat anything", Tara whispered in her ear.

"Whatever you want to eat, just have it", Trisha said before calling her husband. Dinesh walked to them.

"Bhai, I want to eat something spicy. I don't want to eat these things", Tara told her brother.

"What do you wanna eat?", he asked looking around.

"Pav Bhaji or Golgappe or Tikki or maybe some Jalebi", Tara said licking her lips as Trisha nodded her head wanting to eat something like that as well.

"You also wanna eat it", Dinesh asked as Trisha nodded her head.

"Alright, I'll bring it. You both take your seat", Dinesh said before walking to the stalls.

Tara took her seat beside Arjun as the waiters started serving food to them on a single plate. Tara made a face in her mind. She never liked to eat on a single plate with anybody other than her cousin sisters.

Her mother finally sat beside her Bhabhi. Just then her brother came with a plate having two plates of Pav Bhaji and put it in front of Tara.

"Ji, you see this. These two girls turned my handsome son into a waiter", Supriya told her husband making Trisha and Tara stare at each other.

"I also used to behave like this. My son learned from the best", Nagesh spoke making Tara and Trisha giggle looking at Dinesh who glared at them. Tara poked her tongue at her brother who held her neck from behind playfully.

"And she is going to get married. He is already married", Supriya said seeing her daughter poking her brother's cheek.

"Mummy, your daughter is going to get a good beating", Dinesh told his mother hitting his head with Tara making her wince.

"I am so scared of you, brother", Tara told her brother.

"Oye, I am going to sit in-between", Dinesh said bringing a chair sitting between Trisha and Tara.

"Still so childish", Trisha said as Dinesh patted her head like he was pacifying her.

"It's like you are the one who is taking more advantage of my marriage", Dinesh told Tara who raised her eyebrows at him.

"Advantage, Please? Bhai, who is taking advantage of whom everybody knows. You throw me out of your room at 6 in the evening only", she said in a hushed voice making Dinesh glare at her.

"Brother became stranger after marriage", she made a crying face looking at Trisha.

"Why do you have to add dhan to every second thing?", Dinesh asked her.

"I am the sister of a businessman, it's important to add dhan in everything", Tara said as Vikram came in between.

"Where am I going to sit?", Vikram asked.

"Why don't you do one thing? Add a table there and sit in a circle. Everybody just want to sit with these brother-sister duo", Supriya said making Vikram look at Tara with a sorry face.

"Didi, you are always my first priority", Vikram said sitting beside her.

"And as Taru says, we are buy one get two free offer with our mother", Dinesh spoke as Vikram glared at him.

"Are we going to have food or not?", Tara asked feeling hungry for the tasty junk food.

"Your fiancee must be feeling lonely", Dinesh whispered in her ear.

"I can't dance here to entertain him", Tara whispered in her brother's ear who just nodded in return.

"Tara, feed Bhai", Kenit said as Tara looked down feeling her lovely fiancee's eyes on her.

"Let me take the picture", Kinshuk said as Kenit passed the ice cream to Tara. 

Tara gulped before lifting her hand to his mouth. His warm gaze was enveloping her body and all the fun she was having disappeared. All she could think was his eyes on her. He opened his mouth still looking at her eyes which were downcasted as usual.

"Perfect", Kinshuk cheered getting back in his chair.

"Dinesh Bhai was Tara a naughty child or a sensible one", Kenit asked wanting to add spice to the conversation.

"She wasn't any of this", Dinesh answered looking at his sister who was looking back at him with curiosity.

"It depends on her mood. If she is in a good mood, you won't find a more sensible child than her and if she is silent for a long time consider that a big plan is cooking in her mind", Dinesh said.

"If you want to know is Tara fine or is going to have a fever, you just have to listen to her words. She would start speaking more than usual which is how Mumma concludes that she is going to have a fever", Dinesh said as Tara pouted.

"She is a weird person", Kinshuk pointed out as Tara glared at him.

"Someday a UFO will land near Singhud Haveli and we would come to know that Tara is an alien. You see she doesn't even speak like normal humans. Her words are out of the world", Vikram pointed out as Tara pouted softly.

"Don't tease her this much, yaar. She is different that's why Bhai falls for her otherwise Arjun Bhai and getting married, I thought they would never end up together on a single page", Kenit told them.

With this, the performances started every single youngster performed in their engagement as Tara smiled widely at them while Arjun had a different brightness on his face with a small smile.

In the last, Kenit and Kinshuk pulled Tara with them for the dance but she was already told by her family not to dance in front of her in-laws because it wouldn't look good so she wasn't able to dance.

It was finally time for departure when her Bhabhi pulled her inside taking her to the same room where she got ready.

"Bhabhi, what happened?", she asked but Trisha closed the door behind her leaving her alone.

"I thought we won't be able to speak", she heard his voice and froze in her place.

"If I would've asked you to meet me, there are high chances that you would've run", he said coming in front of her as she looked down.

"Tara", he called holding her hands in his as she gulped.

"Since the day, I saw you I wanted to be the only man in your life to be this close to you, to whom you will share your views, to whom you would smile at, with whom you will fall in love. I know you are scared of me but I can't change my personality overnight but still, I want you to know I am trying. Trying for you, trying for us", he told her as her hold tighten around his hands which made him smile.

He knew she was getting affected by his world which made him happy.

"I want you to know that I am a possessive man. Even when I know you would never break my trust but the animal inside me would not think with his brain if he saw you with any man. I don't want to hurt you. I want you to accept me for what I am and I in turn also don't want you to change anything in you. You are everything I wanted in my wife and I cannot ask for more", he stated making her gulp. Her hands were sweating he could feel.

He made her it on the bed. She was still thinking about what was going in his mind when he did something she never imagined in her craziest dream.

He sat on his knees making her gasp.

"I thought to give it to you on our wedding night but I can't control it anymore", he told her making her frown.

He held her left ankle raising it up resting it on his thigh making her gulp not able to think clearly. Her mind was too foggy.

He took out a beautiful anklet from his pocket making her stare at him with parted lips.

He made her wear the anklet in her left ankle before looking up at her making her look down at her.

"The other one would stay with me till the point you would come in my life. I would myself make you wear it on our wedding night. Till that time, I want you to never remove this one. It is my mark on you which states that you are only mine", he said kissing her naked leg lifting up the lehenga a few inches up making her remove her feet from his thigh.

She stood up from her place trying to run out when he held her bangle-clad hand.

"Remember what I said?", he said coming closer to her kissing on her earlobe making her close her eyes. His lips ended on her neck biting lightly making her gasp. She realized in what position they were before running out lifting her lehenga skirt a little up not wanting to fall on her face. A shy smile was covering her face with the redness on her cheek. She never thought she could blush this much.

He continued seeing her running through the hallway, a smile on his lips as well. He shook his head before looking at the other anklet in his hands. 

It's other pair was with its owner who also had his heart caged with her.
