At night
Rhea is alone who is lost in her thoughts. Suddenly someone holds her. Before she could shout they cup her mouth and pins her to the wall. She gets surprised on seeing Ishaan.
“shhh…. Don’t shout.” Says Ishaan.
“ what are you doing here?” whispers Rhea.
“ well,… I wanted to see u.” says Ishaan.
“ ishaan, u have been seeing me. and u could make a video call.” Says Rhea.
“ well, I wanted to talk to u, and before u could say that I could have made a phone call. I want to go out and talk.” Says Ishaan.
“ go out? At this time? Why?” asks Rhea.
“ hmm. To eat ice cream.” Says Ishann.
“ oh, wait . I will just come.” Saying this Rhea was about to leave her room.
“ where are u going?” asks Ishaan.
“ to get u ice cream.” Says Rhea.
“ OMG! Rhea. U r coming or not?” asks Ishaan.
“ ok. But….” Before Rhea could finish Ishaan pulls her and takes her out through the window.
In car
Ishaan sees Rhea who isn’t talking anything. So, he switches on the FM. Old songs gets played. Rhea doesn’t like them, but still keeps quiet. Ishaan observs that. he stops the car and blindfolds Rhea. He asks her to be like that still they reach their destination. And rhea just agrees which is very unlikely.
After reaching the destination , Ishaan removes the blindfold. Rhea gets elated on seeing where she is. It’s the tree house where Ishaan has brought her once before where she has spent one of her best moments with him. She smiles. It is as same as before. But now, there was a small table with ice-cream on it. They sit at the door and starts having ice cream.
“ I like this place as much I have liked it before. Infact more. It is so peaceful here. ” says Rhea.
“ but I feel, it’s not the same Rhea.” Says Ishaan.
“ what do u mean?” asks Rhea.
“ u are no more that joyful, happy and outgoing girl, whom I knew. I knew that Rhea, who is always outspoken. I have been observing u, since ur return. U haven’t been active in anything. I wanted to talk to u about that, so I brought u out, because I didn’t think it was a good idea to speak about it at home. I have deliberately played old songs which u hate, so that u will ask me to change. I thought u will argue with me, when I blindfolded u, like u argued last time. I gave u vanilla flavour ice cream which u dislike the most but u are eating it.” saying this Ishaan takes away the ice cream from her hands.
“I thought u will respond but u resisted. I have seen u happy, sad, angry, confused, but never this lost.” Says Ishaan.
He holds her on seeing tears in her eyes.
“ Rhea, I understand ur life hasn’t been easy in the last 2 years. And I know that life has changed u a lot. But u shouldn’t change urslef because of that. ur character is u. I want u to command me, argue with me, laugh with me, like u used to be. Not only me, everyone likes that Rhea, Rhea Mehra, the princess.” says Ishaan to which Rhea chuckles with tears in her eyes.
“ I know. I have been trying. But I have that prison influence still. I need some time. But I promise I will be back to myself.” Says Rhea
“hmm.and remember I will always be there for u.” Says Ishaan and hugs her.
“ ok, starting from now, I want to have ice cream, but I am definitely not having vanilla.” Commands Rhea wiping her tears.
“ yeah, I know. So, I brought u this.” Saying that he gives her chocolate ice cream.
They enjoy their date.
Next day
“Rhea wake up. U are sleeping still. Today is your engagement.” Says Pragya opening the curtains of Rhea’s room who has covered herself fully with the blanket.
“ Rhea, rhea….” Shouts Pragya and removes the blanket just to find pillows in place of Rhea shocking Pragya.
Just then,” bow……” screams Rhea, Pragya’s behind scaring her.
“ Rhea, u scared me.” says Pragya.
“hmm, sorry mom”says rhea holding her ears.
“ it’s ok. Since u are awake, get ready and go to parlour. Prachi,Kiara and Shahana are also going . go with them.” Says Pragya.
“ ok, mom.” Answers Rhea.
In the evening
“ Prachi, non of these necklaces suit my dress. I want something else.” Says Rhea.
“ I am so sorry Rhea. But only these are with me. as ur engagement was arranged in short notice, we couldn’t shop much.” says Prachi.
“No, I don’t want any of these. Ask mom, she must be having something.” Says Rhea.
Rhea notices Prachi admiring at her.
” what happend?” asks Rhea.
” after seeing u quiet yesterday, I was scared that I lost my stubborn and lovely sister. But I am happy that u r back to urself.” saying this Prachi hugs Rhea and goes.
Suddenly door gets opened. Rhea assumes it to be Prachi. She gets a necklace around her neck, which she likes very much. Prachi comes there bur she sees Ishaan who signs her to go. Prachi leaves from there. Rhea who still assumes Ishaan to be Prachi asks him to make her wear ear rings, bangles, Kamarbandh. But still Rhea hadn’t realized it was Ishaan. She asks him to apply makeup and turns to give her the make up kit and gets surprised on seeing Ishaan.
“ ishaan, what are u doing here?” asks Rhea.
“ what do u mean? U have only asked me to get u ready.” Replies Ishaan.
“ what do u mean? I thought it was Prachi. When did u come?” asks Rhea.
“ I was the one who brought u that necklace.” Says Ishaan.
“ that means since then…..” saying this Rhea gives an expression which Ishaan understands.
“ yes. Since then I have been here and I was the one who made u wear ur jewellery and now I am gonna help u to put ur makeup.” Says Ishaan moving towards her.
“ stop. Have u gone mad? I have sent Prachi to get me the jewellery. She will be back at any moment. Please leave before she comes.” Says Rhea pushing him away from the room.
“ wait, it’s too late. she saw us together and she permitted me to help u.” says Ishaan.
“ what?” says a surprised Rhea.
“ so, let me finish ur make up. So that we can get engaged soon.” Says Ishaan.
“ stop, I can put my make up.” Says rhea taking away her makeup kit.
“ ok, I am going.” Saying this Ishaan puts a sad face but Rhea stops him and asks him to do soon.
At the engagement
“ Pragya, go and bring Rhea. It’s almost time.” Says Abhi to which Pragya agrees and leaves.
Seeing Pragya coming Prachi runs into the room and tells them that Pragya is coming.
“ what?” yells Rhea.
“ relax. I have a plan.” Saying this ishaan jumps from the corridor and goes to his room.
Rhea and Prachi are still facing the balcony stunned by Ishaan’s stunt. Just then Pragya comes and gets surprised by looking at them awed.
“ is balcony so beautiful that u are awed by it?” asks Pragya.
“[coming back to their senses.] no mom. Nothing like that. we were waiting for u.” says Rhea and Prachi.

“ nothing mom. Let’s go.” Distracts Rhea knowing why Prachi was laughing.

“ did u hear? Everyone are praising me.” whispers Ishaan.
“ hmm?” says Rhea.
“ well, I was the one who got u ready. ”says Ishaan to which Rhea blushes.
