Those drinks had already seeped their way into his system and he was beginning to feel its effects. “How?” he asked. “They all think we are engaged, yet no one realized we’re not wearing any engagement rings!” She said showing him her bare ring finger and then broke out in laughter.

Episode 36 “I still love her, Bhai.” Abhi listened intently as Akash confessed his feelings for Rachna. He had gotten up early and headed to Akash’s room to speak to him. Thank Goodness he sneaked back into the house before everyone had woken up, Akash thought. “I don’t know what destiny has in store for us…” he continued, “But right now, I want to spend each and every moment that I can with her.” “Have you told her how you feel?” Abhi asked. Akash shook his head. “Will you ever tell her how you feel?” Abhi asked again. Akash was…

I’m here to collect Daljeet Mehra’s health report.” Pragya said to the receptionist behind the desk. “Just one second Ma’am.” she replied. “I’ll go get it.” While waiting, Pragya looked around and spotted Akash standing a little distance away. She walked up to him. “Akash?” Pragya called. “What are you doing here?” “I- I came to visit a friend.” he said. “What are you doing here, Bhabi?” “I came to collect Dadi’s reports.” Pragya replied. “You could have told me.’ he said, nervously running his…

Episode 34 Pragya was sitting in their room reading a book, when Abhi walked in. “Fuggi.” he said, slumping on the couch next to her. “It’s two in the morning. What are you still doing up?” “Couldn’t sleep.” she said.

Episode 33 Pragya stood in front of the mirror, all dressed for the evening’s Puja. She wore a red and gold lehenga, complete with matching accessories, as Dadi said it was tradition for a wife to adorn herself as a bride on this day.

Episode 32 One week later, Pragya was on her way to Dadi’s room. She stood in the open doorway and then knocked on the door. “You wanted to see me, Dadi?” Pragya asked. “Yeah Beta, come in.” Dadi said and patted a spot next to her on the bed, gesturing for Pragya to sit.
