The family members move towards the stage. The main couple are asked to stand up. The kids Stand next to them. Prabha and shruti comes up and stand next to the couple with the rings in their hands. Shruti first passes the ring to Neil.

Neil looks at the ring and remember his moments with Aarti. Ahana is looking down not comfortable with the situation as she herself is remember Rajeev. Prabha keeps her hand on Ahana's shoulder indicating her to move her hand forward. Coming to reality she moves her left hand out. Neil Slowly slides the ring in her hands. While Ahana does the same right after. Everyone claps as the couple look down at their hands. Neil remember how he proposes to Aarti for their marriage. He remembers their engagement day as his eyes became watery. Meanwhile Ahana remember her engagement and the day Rajeev died. She remembers how she still has the rings in her box where other Rajeev's stuff are. Her eyes as well get teary but both of them hide their tears and look at their kids. They see Ansh, Naira and Aryan clapping and smiling. They smile seeing their kids and say to themselves in their mind.

Ahana/Neil:( in their minds)"This is all for the kids. Only for the kids"

People say that the purpose of making ur partner wear a ring on the ring finger of their left hand is because that finger connects straight to the heart. Though both Ahana and Neil were doing this for the kids, were their hearts ever gonna connect? Will they also find their happiness in this marriage?

After the rings were exchanged, People started heading towards dinner. A separate table was made for Ahana, Neil and the Kids to eat at. Preeti lead them to their table which was in the corner away from all the attention. Neil and Ahana settle down the kids and headed to get their dinner at the buffue. Ahana prepared the plate for the kids with the help of Neil as they carried it back to the table. Ahana was feeding Naira while Ansh was being fade by Neil. Aryan being a big boy was eating by his own.
