In Srinivasans office
Rhea comes to meet Ishaan.
Ishaan gets awed seeing her.
“ Ishaan I want to speak with u about the …..”
Ishaan understands that Rhea wasn’t to speak about the kiss. They both feel shy.
“ Yes Rhea, even I wanted to speak about that and even about the psychotic princess and Mr. Lunatic.”
Rhea smiles hearing this.
“ yeah, I will for u in the cafe next to the office.”
“yeah sure Rhea, I will be there in few minutes.”
In Mehra mansion
“ what are u saying, Pallavi? Have u gone mad? Why do u want to get her married so soon? I mean we have a month. And we will be able to find at least one more auspicious day. Why are u in such a hurry?”
“ because it is necessary , Vikram. And anyways we have decided to get them married, right? So what’s the problem?”
“ Pallaviji, we all agree that Aryan and Mishti want to get married but within two days? I mean tomorrow is the concert, and then the competition will start…”
“ exactly, pragyaji, we have many occasions ahead. Everyday there is one or other program. So if we go on like this then we won’t be able to get Aryan and Mishti married.”
A voice comes from the door “ I think Pallavi is right?”
Alia enters and agrees with Pallavi.
And then one more voice comes from the door “ No, mom.”
“ Aryan?”
“ yes , mom I don’t want to get married so soon.”
“ kiara smiles hearing his reply.”
“ but why, Aryan? Don’t u want to get married?”
“ when did I say I don’t want to get married it is just that I don’t want it to happen so soon. We have so much work in office even after the concert. So…”
“ Sweetheart we will manage everything.”
“ yes, Aryan, and…. Even Mishti doesn’t have any problem with it, infact she is very happy, so if not for u agree atleast for your future wife’s sake.”
“ Pallavi?”exclaims Vikram
Pallavi sighs him to be quiet. Vikram understands that Pallavi was lying about Mishti.
“ Oh no, my borther is asked to make sacrifices before his weeding itself.” Ranbhir teases Aryan.
” when tiem comes I will deal with u Ranbhir.”says Aryan.
At last Aryan agrees. Kiara gets worried.
Pallavi and Ranbhir leaves to Srinivasans hosue. Alia goes to her room. Vikram goes out to call someone.
Vikram on phone.
“ Man,we have a problem. Meet me in office in an hour.”
Inside the house
“ why is Pallaviji so hurry in getting Mishti married.”
“ because she is getting scared that Mishti will backoff from the wedding, Pragyaji.” Replies Vikram
“ but why, Vikramji? I mean Mishti has agreed to the wedding, right?”
“ no, she was made helpless to agree. As Prachi is alive now, Ranbhir will never marry anyone other than Prachi. He will go to any extent and and against anyone for Prachi. Pallavi understood this. So , she want at least her daughter to marry a man of her choice. Anyways I have some work to do in office. I gotta go.”
Vikram leaves form there.
In Aryan’s bedroom
“ What did u do down there, Aryan?”
“ Arya di? What do u mean?what did I do?”
“ u agreed to marry Mishti.”
“ I agreed to this wedding long ago, di then…”
“ u didn’t know how u feel about Shahana then.”
“ even now I don’t know di.”
“ u will regret this decision of yours. I know u love Shahana and even u know it, but u are not ready to accept.”
Kiara leaves form there.
Someone hears their conversation.
At the venue
Prachi is working. Sunny comes there. He sees Prachi and all his anger calms down seeing her.
“ Abhigya?”
Prachi gets happy seeing Sunny. She hugs him and says “ I missed u bhai.” He also says that he missed her. Prachi remembers Sunny being Disha’s son. She was about to ask him about Disha but Sunny ask her about Ishaan. Prachi tells everything to him happened between her and Ishaan.
“ I understand that u feel Ishaan is not right for u. Is that because he is not of your type or…..”
“ or..?”
“ or because u love someone?”
Prachi remembers Ranbhir. Her eyes gets teary. She turns from preventing Sunny to notice. Before Sunny sees Prachi, a voice comes from behind.
“ Bhai, u here?”
“ hey, Shahana?”
Prachi wipes her tears meanwhile and turns.
“ what are u doing here, Shahana?”
“ I am the anchor here.”
“ But Shahana u said u are gonna resign, right?”
“ resign? Why Shahana? It’s your favourite job and you are earning well. What happened, Shahana? Did anyone say anything to u? tell me.”
Prachi and Shahana know very well that if anyone does anything to either of them then Sunny will beat them back and blue. Shahana and Prachi lie to him nothing happened. But Sunny understands that they are lying.
“ Hey,by the way maa wants to meet u guys. U left when she came and didn’t meet her. She wants to meet my sisters.”
Prachi and Shahana gets tensed hearing it. Sunny observs but doesn’t understand. Someone calls Prachi for some work. So she leaves from there.
“ Bhai, I wanted to ask u something. Only if u don’t mind.”
“ Shahana, u are my sister and u can ask me anything u want. But I have some work. Why don’t we speak while working? Come.”
“ Bhai, u always speak about your mother but never mentioned about your father.”
Sunny’s happy face suddenly turns into an angry face. Shahana gets scared.
“ it’s ok if u don’t want to tell me. I understand.”
He calms down.
“ it’s alright. U are my sister u have all the rights to know about my life. Do u know Purab Khanna? Abhishek Mehra’s friend cum his sister’s husband.”
“ yes,…”
Shahana’s pov
“ whatever happens in our life, whomever we are linked , why does it always has to end with Mehra family.”
“ Shahana, are u there?”
“ yes, bhai. What your father has to do with him?”
“It all has to do with him. Because he is my father. My mother’s husband.”
Shahana gets petrified.
At the café
“ well, I am sorry about that day, Rhea. I shouldn’t have scolded u. well, I was calling to my other friend. And it connected to u by mistake. And without knowing who the person on the other side I scolded u.”
“ It’s ok. Well, I wanted to speak about the kiss…..”
Ishaan and Rhea’s heart gets filled with mixed emotions thinking about it.
“ well, I am sorry about that too, Rhea. I was messed up that night.”
“ messed up? Does it have to with some girl?”
“ well, yes. I liked a girl, Abhigya.”
“ Abhigya, nice name. My parents wanted to name one of their daughters with this name. but they didn’t unfortunately. But sometimes dadi calls mom and dad with this name when she has to call them together.”
“ that’s cute.”
“ yeah, so… were u rejected by her?”
“ sort of. I mean she didn’t have any feeling towards me since the start. But I developed interest in her and I wanted to give it a try so I requested her for a courtship but it didn’t go well. She is my friend’s sister. And even my family likes her a lot. Even they wanted me to get married to her..”
He stops speaking noticing Rhea’s sad and disturbed face.
“ Well, this is my story. But what happened to u that night? Why were u so sad?”
“ sort of same as yours. I fell in love with a guy,Ranbhir, Vikram uncle’s son.”
“oh… that’s nice. What about him?” He remembers Ranbhir’s words.
“ fell in love with my sister. But I wanted to convince him. But I failed and got rejected by him.”
Ishaan’s pov
“ doesn’t Rhea know that her sister is alive? No one would have told her as she loves Ranbhir. It is better if I don’t reveal to her. She will know when the time comes.”
“ Ishaan, what happened?”
“ no, it’s nothing. So that’s the reason u were thinking that no one likes u.”
Rhea nods. He holds her hand.
“ rhea, everyone in this world won’t love us but it doesn’t mean that no one loves us. I have seen your mom and dad, they love u so much. And just like u have the freedom to love Ranbhir, Ranbhir has the right to love whom he wants. U can love someone but can’t force him/ her to love u, then that is not called as love. If u really love , u will let him choose.”
Rhea gets confused but convinced by his words. Ishaan receives a call.
“well, Rhea I gotta go. Bye.”
“ bye, Ishaan.”
Ishaan leaves.
“ oh my god what happened? I wanted to tell him that our kiss was just an impulsive one and not because I have some feelings for him. But instead of speaking about it I told him about my love and he told me about his. Whats’going on?”
