The couple was soon showered with blessings.

Mr. Raheja asked his manager to make an appointment at the court.

The couple was overjoyed to see their family supporting them. They stayed at the mansion the whole day, only leaving when they realised the time.

Juhi came here with Vikram, so naturally, she followed him to his car. Vikram smiled and was about to open the door for her to slide in, when Mr. Mishra yelled,

" Juhi, already forgetting the way home, huh?", he had a straight face on, that scared both Juhi and Vikram.

She was about to answer when her mother intervened, " Stop having fun!" It was directed towards her father, who merely shrugged and then blowed into a full blown laughter.

Juhi and Vikram both sighed in relief.

Mr. Mishra shooed them away with his hand, " Be back before ten!"

" Yes, dad!"

" Yes, sir!" came the reply of his daughter and soon to be son in law.

Mr. Mishra followed his wife inside the car and grabbed her hand, caressing it lovingly, " At least she will be safe with Vikram. At least she won't pay for our sins." His eyes had turned misty.

His wife replied with a tightened grip,

" Hopefully he won't harm Vikram. Does Vikram know of the danger looming over all our heads?" She asked softly.

" He thought, earlier, that Verma was against him." He sighed, " But then when Juhi told me the person behind Jodhpur project, I couldnt believe. All these years, I thought Verma was after Rahejas' and Sinhas'. How could I forget that he will not spare us, once he finds out about our involvement as well!"

Mrs. Mishra replied, " I am scared. What if he comes after Juhi for our sin!" She shivered with the thought.

" I had the same thought. That is why, I contacted Vikram. Though according to him, she was safer with us. He even went as far as to try and break things with our daughter. But he came around eventually and I'm glad about it."

Mrs. Mishra had tears streaming down her eyes, " Let's hope the children find their happiness and are not entangled in the mess we created."

" They are already entangled, my dear. Let's hope that this is their ray of hope."

The couple sighed. " Let's get Juhi married, first. Then we will deal with him."

" Yes, my lady." Mr. Mishra smiled at his wife.

On the other hand, Mrs. Raheja dialled a number which had become familiar to her,

" Hello!"

" Vikram is getting married to her."

" When?" He asked calmly.

" In a week's time."

" Ok. Keep me updated further!"

Before he could hang up, she yelled,

" Will my Vikram be safe after this marriage?"

" Why should I answer that?"

" Wasn't this our deal?" She supplied carefully.

" Yes, it was Mrs. Raheja. Don't worry your son and soon to be daughter in law are just means to me, to get closer to all what is left of those who were responsible for that formidable night!"

He hanged up leaving behind a tear stained shaking Mrs. Raheja.

Vikram had asked the driver to drive them to his place.

So now they were lounging in his living room waiting for snacks to be prepared by Sneha.

Vikram had given her a thorough tour of the place. He had no cook, much to her disappointment. But he promised to look for one if things don't work out.

Vikram enjoyed teasing her about her cooking skills which were budding according to her.

Sneha joined them shortly and video called the person who had made her ears bleed for the entire afternoon.

Rahul's face filled the screen and a squeal escaped Juhi's mouth.

" Rahul! How are you buddy?"

" I'm good but someone is having a much better day." He teased, " I heard someone proposed! And they are getting married in a week!"

Juhi's face was red. Vikram squeezes her shoulder in amusement, " Are you the same woman who proposed me? Look at you now, shying away!"

Everybody burst into laughter on Juhi's expense.

Rahul was a big cartoon it was no secret. He had been very busy for the past few days and Sneha had missed him incredibly. Rahul was trying hard to ignore his glaring wife but he couldn't, could he?

" How are you, wife?"

He heard no reply. He pouted.

Juhi looked at the couple frowning at them when Vikram patted on her shoulder, " Relax, it is normal. Don't mind these two."

" What did you say?" questioned Sneha, glaring at Vikram now.

Rahul chuckled, " At least you are sharing her anger with me."

" Oh mister, you are not off the hook. ", she glared at her husband who in return raised his hands in defence. "And you! What are you commenting at, huh?" She pointed at Vikram." Wait till you get married then we will talk."

She now looked at Juhi who chuckled in response.
