The episode starts with Aryan getting heartbroken on watching Rishi proposing Shahana. Sunny had been closely watching him from downstairs and smirks evilly on seeing Aryan’s desperate state. Sanju feels pity for Aryan. After confessing his love, Rishi bends down slowly to have a lip-lock with Shahana. Aryan unable to take it anymore rushes down, while before Rishi could reach her lips, Shahana stops him saying in a hesitant voice, “All this is bound to happen after marriage, so wait until then!” Rishi smilingly agrees and says, “Okay fine, if you don’t wish then I will not surely touch you before our marriage.” He then takes a strand of hair from her face and places them onto the side of her face. She jerks as he touches her. Gradually, he inches close to her and informs her in a whisper, “And right now everyone must be waiting for us downstairs so come down!” Shahana nods while feeling discomfort in Rishi’s closeness towards her. After he leaves, Shahana trembles in fear reflecting on how Rishi tried to kiss her, which takes her to the moment when she shared the first lip-lock of her life with Aryan during the Fashion Event mishap. She falls down and breaks into tears, “Why God, why? Why did you make me fall for Aryan when he was never meant for me? Why did I even fall for him when my destiny was written with Rishi? Why?” She continues to cry miserably in a broken state.
Downstairs, Aryan tries his level best to hide his tears and leave from there. He looks around for Ranbir and sees him and as he advances towards Ranbir, he is stopped by Sunny. The latter asks him, “So how was my first wedding gift for you?” Aryan is amazed as he realises that it was a part of Sunny’s plan which made him watch Rishi-Shahana together. Sunny continues, “Yesterday, luckily, that girl, Chasmish saved you, but who will help you from every attack of mine? I will constantly poke you on and on and on until and unless you break into pieces from inside, Aryan, just the same way my Ma’s heart was broken by your Dad and NOONE CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME!” while saying that Sunny gives a daring glower and leaves from there, while Aryan looks on. Ranbir comes and taps on his shoulder and asks him the matter. Aryan shakes his head replying nothing and tells him that he wants to return. Ranbir agrees and calls out Prachi to inform her that they are leaving. Prachi says, “Fine thanks a lot for helping and tomorrow since it is THE MEHENDI FUNCTION, we will not need any help!” Ranbir mockingly replies back, “Anyways we will not come for help even if you call us because it is Mehendi function in our house too!” Prachi gives out a surprising smile on hearing that. Ranbir continues to wave at her, bidding adieu and leaves from there with Aryan.
In Mehra Mansion
Aryan comes to his room and reminisces all the events that happened. First, Rishi-Shahana’s engagement and then how they were being very close to each other. He closes his eyes hard trying to ward away those thoughts and falls onto the bed, just when his phone beeps. He answers the call, “Hello!”. Rakhi on the other side, senses the depression in his voice. She asks him, “Now what is it that your brother has done, Aryan?” Aryan is bewildered and asks, “Hello, is it you Rakhi? Sorry, what did you just ask?” Rakhi replies, “I asked what else did your brother ploy against you?” Aryan is taken aback at that question. He asks her in a shaky voice, “Oh it’s nothing like that……” When Rakhi interrupts him saying, “Don’t try to hide, Aryan, I could clearly feel the distress that you are undergoing! And if you have trust in me then tell what is the matter!” Aryan is silenced for a moment, then takes a deep long breath and explains each and everything that happened. Rakhi is left shocked to learn everything. She tells Aryan, “Aryan, your brother has gone insane in his pain that he is blind to other’s pain! Now listen to me, Aryan and do as I say!” Aryan denies, “No need to do anything Rakhi, just let it go as it is!” Rakhi tells, “Aryan don’t protest, you trust me right, so, just do as I’m saying” Aryan ponders for a moment and then gives in to her. Rakhi slowly explains him something on the phone. Aryan is left mouth agape and asks her, “But Rakhi……” however Rakhi objects listening to him and says, “If you ever considered me as your good friend then you will surely do whatever I have instructed you to!” on saying that she hangs up the phone. Aryan is muddled and gets looking on.
Next day, Mehndi Function at Sarita Ji’s house
Shahana is getting her hands filled with bridal design of henna, just when Prachi comes there catching her phone under her ear, supported by her shoulder as her hand is already filled with henna. She questions Ranbir on the phone, “What are you saying Ranbir? How is it even possible?” Ranbir on the side with Aryan standing right behind him, tries justify his point, “Prachi, it was Aryan who proposed that since both his and Shahana’s Sangeet function are happening tomorrow, then why not have it together when we have such a big house which can hold the Sangeet of both the couples together!” Prachi still not convinced says, “But how can we have our function in someone else’s house?” Ranbir tries to convince her saying, “Come on Prachi, our house is also like your house and the Sangeet ceremony is also of your cousin brother’s, then what is the problem?” Prachi looks towards Shahana doubtfully and says, “I don’t know Ranbir, it’s Shahana’s Sangeet, so I think you should ask her! Till then, I will go and talk to Ma, Sarita Auntie and Rishi’s parents about it.” Ranbir replies, “Fine! I too will give the phone to Aryan, let him convince Shahana himself!” on saying that Ranbir quickly gives the phone to Aryan before he could resist, while, on the other side, Prachi places the phone onto Shahana’s shoulder. As she places her ear onto the phone without moving her hands, the designer asks her, “Ma’am what is your groom’s name?” while on the side Aryan says, “Hello Shahana!” Shahana pronounces, “Aryan?” The designer thinks Shahana had answered her question and writes down Aryan’s name onto her hand.
