Gauri:[she looked up as ranveer opened the door]dadi has called both of for dinner[gauri was about to leave but priyanka stops her]

Priyanka:[she came and stood beside ranveer and asked gauri]bhabhi you never told us about how you got separated from your family and why did anika bhabhi reacted in such a way to her own father
Gauri:[she thinks for a way to say no to talk about her past without hurting priyanka’s emotions] priyanka it’s better if our past remains disclosed and di is just a little angry with bade papa she will be fine in a day or two[gauri leaves from their to avoid further questions and priyanka and ranveer follow her to dinner table]

AFTER DINNER
[after dinner was done everyone was sitting in hall]
Dadi:[she was sitting beside nani] i am sorry i should have asked to make guest rooms ready before but it slipped out of our mind
Nani:[she replies with a smile]it’s okay it happens sometime we will wait
Digvijay:[he and sambhav were sitting on adjacent sofa gauri was standing behind the sofa in front and jhanvi and tej were sitting on sofa he notices gauri’s mangalsutra and sindoor he looks at sambhav who noticed the same but was not able ask gauri so digvijay asks himself]gauri are you married?[gauri was shocked to this sudden question and omkara was looking at gauri who nods in yes]to whom?[gauri was not able to answer this question]
Jhanvi:[she answers question asked to gauri]she is wife of omkara,my son[digvijay,sambhav and nani looks at omkara]
Pinky:[she passes comment in voice audible to everyone present there]but he never accepted her as wife you can think about her re-marriage
Dadi:[she says in anger]stop it pinky[servant comes and informs them that guest rooms are ready dadi asks everybody to leave for rest]

GARDEN
[anika was sitting on garden bench looking at moon tej noticed her from his room’s window he went near her anika noticed tej and moved to give him space to sit]
Tej:[he sat beside anika and asked her]if i am correct then your are thinking about your recently found family[anika looks at him with a smile and nods in yes]
Anika:[she looks at moon and says]but i am not going to talk about it,because today you will talk and i will listen[tej gives her a confused look]
Tej:what do you mean
Anika:[she looks at tej and says]well everyone has something to say so today you will speak your heart out and i will listen[she says in sarcastic tone]well at least i will try not to sleep as i have taken pills
Tej:[he smiles and says]anika if you are doing this because i helped you then you don’t need to do it
Anika:[keeps her leg knee bent on bench and faces tej] i am not doing it because of that i am not asking tej singh oberoi his problems i am asking problems of the stranger i met that night right here in this place so tell me
Tej:[he agrees to anika’s request]may be my problem is being a good businessman i can’t find a way to make my family understand my point of view and when i try to look it through their point of view i can’t find it fit for them or me so when try to make them understand i more like impose my decisions on them somewhere i feel bad too but i just simply can’t think of other way and that’s what makes me a bad husband as well as bad father and i want to be a good father and that’s what i have tried since omkara was born now when i look back i think i should have never given swetlana job and none of that would have happen before swetlana came in my life i and jhanvi were not a perfect couple but at least we were friends we knew each other well
Anika:[after few moments of silence]rekindle your relationships[tej gives anika “what” look]show them you’re this side which you’ve shown to me

tej:[my life will be always open book for me but when i ask people to read it it’s not really my choice, which character sketch of me they will prefer
Anika:[she looks at tej with wide eyes]now i understood why does omkara talks too much philosophical talks like father like son[they both smile]but on serious note you should stop being jerk to your son and wife[tej looks at her raising his eyebrow]was it too much too call you jerk
Tej:[he says rolling his eyes]considering i am your father’s age it was wrong but considering right now you are the only true friend i have it was right
Anika:[she gets confused and asks] i am the only true friend you ever had what does that mean you didn’t have any friends in your entire life
Tej:[he says smiling] i had friends but they were because i had great surname too and that kind of friends are not exactly true friends today you listened to me even though maybe most of it didn’t make sense to you but you just let me talk my heart out didn’t judge me by what i said that is something true friends do isn’t it[they talk some more time about tej’s college and school experiences and after that leave to their respective rooms]

MORNING
[all rakshabandhan vidhi’s were done early morning after that breakfast anika and gauri tied rakhi to sahil,sambhav and anvith priyanka tied rakhi to her brothers anvith gifted anika and gauri all the memories of 16 years in album which they missed and sambhav said they have to wait for his gift]
ANIKA’S ROOM
[sambhav and anvith came in anika’s room]
Sambhav:[anika was standing by the poolside he and anvith went near her he kept hand on her shoulder anika turned back]pack your bags we are leaving
Anika:where
Anvith:[he takes a step forward and says]our home di[anika was lost in thoughts listening to her brothers]
Sambhav:[he looks at anika and asks her]anika is something that you wish to share with us[anika nods in no]gauri will also come with us
Anika:[she gets shocked and protests]but why?this is her home now
Sambhav:[he looks at anvith and then anika says]anika this maybe gauri’s house but omkara is not her husband[anika was about to interrupt him but he show his hand to anika]anika i am not that same dumb sambhav anymore who use to ask you to make sure about everything i can see things and i can see that my both sisters are not happy in this house so it’s better we leave
Anika:[she still tries to convince sambhav]but gauri loves omkara
Sambhav:[he says mocking anika]but omkara doesn’t love gauri and even if he does he needs to prove his eligibility for gauri

Anika:is this some kind of entrance exam that he needs to prove his eligibility[sambhav was about to speak]
Anvith:[he doesn’t let sambhav speak he stand in middle of them both and says]stop it both of you nani was always right you fight like tom and jerry when you are together and miss each other when not and di we are not asking gauri di to divorce omkara but we are just ask her to think about her relation with him and you need to do the same
Sambhav:[he looks at anika and asks anvith]what do mean by she needs to the same she not married to anyone,[he gives anika a suspicious look and asks]anika are married to someone?[anika was not able to understand what should she do]
