Recap:
Sona smiles brightly….
Dev kisses her forehead and hugs tight…. ~Dev’s pov~ I am so proud of you my Sona… Tomorrow, I have a surprise for you… Hope she’ll like it…

~Next day early morning~
Sona wakes up to the alarm and quickly switches off before it disturbs Dev’s sleep…. ~Sona’s pov~ ~looks at Dev~ My pyaare pati Dev… You look so cute when you sleep… ~kisses Dev’s cheek~ Oops… Sona… Neeyat kharab ho raha hai…
Sona goes to the bathroom…
Dev wakes up and smiles to himself… ~Dev’s pov~ Wah my khargosh…. ~touches his cheek and smiles~
Sona comes out and Dev hides under blanket…
Sona takes a pill and swallows… ~Sona’s pov~ Now, better… If I eat now and fast all day, I will have acidity for sure… And might puke as well…. I need to pass this exam…
Sona looks at Dev; smiles and leaves…
Dev gets up and smiles brightly…

~Hall~
Sona comes down… Ishwari sees Sona and smirks….
Sona: Ma… I am ready…
Ishwari: ~nods~ Here, this the sargi…. Please eat… And later whole day you have to fast…
Sona: Ji ma… ~sits and starts eating~
GKB comes there yawning…
Ishwari: Aayiye Bhabhi… Please have sargi…
GKB nods; making face at Sona…
Dev comes down slowly
Dev: Ma… For me?
Ishwari: Dev?

~Neha’s house~
Neha wakes up; gets ready and comes out…
Neha’s sasuma: ~sees Neha ~ Neha beti… Did you get ready? Come, I’ll give you sargi…
Neha: Ji mummyji…
Neha’s sasuma: ~smiles~ Are you you want to keep the fast? As Ranvir’s mom, I think I have become little selfish, by wishing that you fast for my son’s long life… But you are like my beti too… When I think that way, I feel I shouldn’t insist…
Neha: ~smiling; hugs her sasuma sideways~ Mummyji… Don’t think so much… I know you love me more… But this is for Ranvir… I will do it… ~gazes down~
Neha’s Bhabhi: Arre wah… See her love…
Neha smiles softly….
Neha’s sasuma: ~places hand on Neha’s head~ Jeete raho beti… Please be happy like this always… Waise, we are very lucky to get you as our bahu… Sometimes, I feel sad that we are not able to give you the best…
Neha: ~looks shocked and surprised~ Mummyji… Why are you saying that?
Neha’s sasuma: It’s the truth Neha beti… You must have enjoyed nicely before marriage – huge house, shopping… You wouldn’t have faced any lack… We want to pamper you like that… Unfortunately, we don’t have much to give other than love and care…. Forgive us beti…
Neha: Mummyji…. ~holds sasuma’s hands~ Please don’t say that… Even I grew up in poor conditions…. That’s why I really was scared of poverty… I even told Ranvir… I used to think that money is the solution to everything… But after marriage, coming here… I realized… I wasn’t really scared of poverty… What I really wanted was love and attention… The real fear was to be left alone… And I felt having material goods, will not make me feel lonely…
But no… I realized that it doesn’t matter whether I am rich or poor… If I am rich, but don’t have family’s support and love, I can’t enjoy it truly…. If I am poor’ but have my family with me, I can stay happy… I feel loved and cherished here… All of you make me feel that I belong here…. I am happy mummyji… Please don’t feel sad…
Neha’s sasuma: ~smiles; feeds Neha sargi~ Eat now…
Neha nods and starts eating…. ~Neha’s pov~ Mummyji… You are so nice… How will I tell you that I have received more love here compared to what I received from my own home… I really want to do something in return… Perhaps start working? I can contribute something to the family… But if I confess this, Ranvir has so much of self-respect… What if he feels offended? I really want to help him… ~thinks of Sona’s words~ “Sajna hai toh Ranvir ke liye sajo” ~smiles~ Sona Bhabhi! I will ask her… She’ll guide me…

~Devakshi Home~
Dev: ~smiles; pulls the chair~ Yes ma… Even I want to have sargi…
Ishwari: Dev beta… This is not for you…. Only married ladies have and fast…
Dev: I know ma… I am also fasting today… For Sona… ~gazes at Sona~
Ishwari looks shocked…
Sona: ~looks shocked and surprised~ Dev… Why? You don’t have to…
Dev: Why not? When my Sona… I mean, my wife fasts for me, for my long life… Why can’t I?
Ishwari: ~composes herself~ But Dev… You don’t have to… Anyway you don’t believe in all these rituals…
Dev: Even Sona doesn’t… Yet she’s doing it for me… Please ma…
Sona: Par Dev… Ma is right… Besides, you have loads of work at office… It would be best if you don’t…
Dev: ~gazes at Sona; smiles~ Sona… Do you mean to say that you and ma do less work at home? If you remember, I did help Asha ma… Only then I realized how much work is to be done at home… Please ma and Sona… Let me fast for my wife… I want to do it with total dedication…
Sona smiles gazing at Dev…. Ishwari looks shocked… ~Ishwari’s pov~ Asha ma? My son is truly going away from me…
Ishwari then gives sargi to Dev too…
GKB sees this and smirks… ~GKB’s pov~ Poor jiji… Now it’s fun watching her…
After having the meal, Devakshi go back to their room…

~Devakshi room~
Devakshi enter…
Sona: Dev… I…
Dev: Sona… If you are thinking about dissuading me about the fast, it’s not going to work… Trust me… I am as stubborn as you…
Sona: Par Dev…
Dev: Sssshhh… I promised during our marriage…. Besides, we are partners for life… What will I do with a long life without you?
Sona: ~smiles~ Achcha baba… Teek hai…
Dev tries stepping close…
Sona: Na… Till you break our fast, we can’t come closer… Remember?
Dev: ~sighs~ Yes… Well kuch paane ke liye, kuch khona toh padega… ~steps back~
Devakshi smile seeing each other…

~Few hours later~
Dev goes to office…
Sona’s phone rings…
~On call~
Sona: Hello!
Neha: Hi Sona Bhabhi, how are you? How’s the karwachauth fast going on?
Sona: I am fine… It’s going on well… Neha… Is everything alright? Any problem?
Neha: ~sighs~ How did you guess Bhabhi?
Sona: ~smiles~ You sound worried… What’s the matter?
Neha: Bhabhi…. You are aware about my sasural’s financial condition…. I am not complaining… It’s just… I thought I should contribute something to the family… By working…
Sona: ~feeling happy~ Neha! That’s so amazing! You are so understanding and mature… I am so pleased with your decision… Have you discussed with Ranvir? What did he tell?
Neha: Abhi nahi Bhabhi… I am worried about his reaction… He has loads of self-respect… He may feel insulted that he doesn’t earn enough… How to tell him without offending him Bhabhi? Remember during my marriage, I let my ego get better of me? You made me understand… So I thought… I will… Ask you…
Sona: Hmmm… I understand that very well… I have an idea… Do one thing, tell Ranvir that you want to create your identity… Ek alag pehchan… You are always have been recognized as Dev’s sister; now Ranvir’s wife; the younger bahu etc etc… You tell him you want to carve an identity… Show the world who Neha is…
Neha: Will he agree? Will he accept my excuse?
Suddenly phone beeps – Incoming call: Dev… Sona dismisses it…
Sona: Neha… Did you forget something? Ranvir was the person who inspired you to learn English… You were hesitant… Yet, he never judged you… He will support you again… This way you really can carve an identity for yourself and help family too…
Neha: You are right Bhabhi… Ranvir always supported me… but will I get good job? What if I don’t?
Sona: Neha… No job is big or small… just try… even if you don’t crack interviews at first, you will get experience on how to interact with outsiders… See, now you understand and converse well in English too…. Nothing can stop our Neha…
Neha: Thanks, Bhabhi… I feel better now… will soon talk about this at home… Ask Ranvir’s opinion too… And Bhabhi… please don’t tell this to bhai and ma right now…
Phone beeps again – Dev…. Again, Sona dismisses…
Sona: Why? They will be pleased na…
Neha: I want to give them a surprise… Once I get the job, I will surely announce….
Sona: Perfect!!!
Once again phone beeps – Incoming call: Dev… Sona shakes her head as she cuts the call…
Neha: Okay Bhabhi… I gotta go now… Will call you later!
Sona: Bye Neha!!!
Sona sees the mobile and smiles ~Sona’s pov~ Beautiful Neha… I always knew that you were mature and sensible… You proved that today… Maybe I should think about joining the work again… ~looks at mobile~ Mr. Obodhro! So many calls?

~Neha’s sasural~
Neha keeps the phone down… ~Neha’s pov~ Thank you Bhabhi… and sorry too… if Bhai gets to know about my plans about working, he will feel bad… might even fight with Ranvir… Ma might not care… But I know my Bhai… Once I get the job, I’ll speak to my Bhai… ~smiles softly~

~Dev’s office~
Dev keeps the phone down frowning… ~Dev’s pov~ Mrs. Khargosh!!!! Who’s she talking to???? Let me see her after going home!!
~Phone rings~
~On call~
Dev: Who were you talking to? Why did you cut my calls? Who are you seeing behind my back?
Sona: Dev…
Dev: Think if I were such a husband? ~smiles softly~
Sona: Well, he’s someone who’s so handsome and dashing… His one gaze makes my heart flutter… I couldn’t help but to talk to him… Will be meeting him soon… I know that I am married… Still… Dil hai ke manta nahin…
Dev: ~feeling jealous suddenly~ Who’s he? Sona…
Sona: Think if I were such a wife?
Dev: Sona!!! Not fair…
Sona: Two can play this game Mr. Obodhro… Waise why did you call? Feeling hungry? Want to eat?
Dev: Don’t talk about food please… Today, I feel the entire world is against me… Whole office is filled with fragrance of delicious food… Kahin aloo ke paranthe toh kahin matar pulao toh kahin chole bature…
Sona: Dev… It’s not too late yet… You can eat… No need to fast like this…
Dev: Never… From now, every karwachauth I am going to fast along with you… I am very much determined Mrs. Khargosh…
Sona: Okay My pati Dev… Come home soon…
Dev: Your wish is my command…
Sona: ~laughs~ Really?
Dev: Any doubt my Sona?
Sona: Na… Okay see you later… ~cuts the call~
Dev: Hey… ~Dev’spov~ She cut the call before telling I love you? She was joking about the handsome guy, right?

~Sona’s home/Maayka~
Rabi comes in; shaking his head… Sharan sees him…
Sharan: What happened bro? Everything alright?
Rabi: Well… I had planned a outing… Movie plan… But Sidhanto won’t be coming…
Sharan: Why?
Rabi: Today’s karwachauth na… Many police officials are taking break for few hours during the evening… Since he’s new and single, he has to stay back for emergencies…
Sharan: Karwachauth? Hmmm… Married ladies fast today…
Rabi: ~thinks of Nikki~ Even unmarried girls, for getting their choice of husbands…
Sharan: Really? ~thinks of Ria~ Means Ria would’ve fasted today…
Rabi: Ria huh? Not bad… Sharan bhai…
Sharan: ~composing himself~ Oi … I just thought of her…
Rabi: Oh… Well there are chances that Ria ~whispering~ Bhabhi would fast… But I don’t think Nikki can…
Sharan: ~smiles suddenly~ Ohhh Nikki??? How about we find out?
Rabi: How? We can’t just materialize there…
Sharan: Well, we can take few gifts; stating it’s for our sister and her family?
Rabi: ~smiles brightly~ Not a bad idea… Let’s go shopping…

~Devakshi home~
Sona smiles after cutting the call… ~Sona’s pov~ Sorry Dev… I cut the call early… I just thought of something… A surprise is waiting for you…
Sona comes down…

~Kitchen~
Ishwari: Kichu, keep those vegetables aside… I want to prepare laddoos now… For my Dev…
Sona: ~enters~ Ma… Shall I prepare the besan laddoos please?
Ishwari: ~feels uncomfortable~ It’s okay; you don’t have to strain… You are fasting na… It’s okay…
Sona: Nahi ma… It’s not a strain… I want to prepare it for my husband… Out of love… And today’s special day for married ladies na… Please ma…
Mamaji: ~enters~ Arre Ishwari… Let her prepare the laddoos… See, you have prepared the entire meal… Let bahurani to cook something…
Ishwari: Par bhaiyya… Dev likes laddoos prepared by me… He insisted to fast today… I want him to breakfast by eating something sweet… Prepared by me; out of my hands… ~Ishwari’s pov~ Of course I can… During karwachauth only husbands break wives’ fasts… Since husbands don’t fast and my son did to be fair, I can feed him… I am his mother after all…
Sona: Par ma… It’s karwachauth today… If he is going to break my fast, I think I should break his fast… ~Sona’s pov~ Ma is so weird… How can she break Dev’s fast? Anything to keep him away from me?
Mamaji: Ishwari… Did you forget that it’s karwachauth today? It’s not Navaratri fast… Then you could feed him something… ~slowly takes Ishwari aside~ Ishwari, our Dev is grown up now… I know that he loves food cooked by you… But even Sona will have desire to cook for him na… She is Dev’s wife after all…
Ishwari: ~flinching slightly~ I know she’s Dev’s wife…
Mamaji: Just relax… Let Sona do her work… Sona beti, carry on… Finish quickly before Dev comes… Okay?
Sona: ~smiles~ Okay Mamaji… ~Sona’s pov~ Thank you Mamaji…
Sona starts to take besan….

~Sona’s home/Maayka~
Sourav sits counting the bills… ~Sourav’s pov~ Oh no… The expenses are mounting…. I don’t know how baba will feel…
Asha: Sourav… Ki holo? Why sitting so glum? Is everything alight?
Sourav: Ma… The expenses have gone beyond baba’s budget… I have paid few expenses… Rest I can only after I receive my payment from the distributors…
Asha: Durga… Now what shall we do?
Sourav: We should discuss this with baba…
Bejoy: ~enters~ What do you want to discuss?
Sourav shows the bills…
Bejoy: ~frowns~ Looks like I became too excited about my Shona’s wedding and splurged nicely… I will do something…
Sourav: Baba, I’ll chip in too… Just wait for couple of weeks… My payment will be processed…
Rabi listens to this and shares the same with Sharan… Sharan whispers something in Rabi’s ears… Rabi smiles
Sharan: Rabi… Rabi! What happened? Drink this water first…
Asha: ~rushing out~ What happened? Sharan? Is everything alright?
Sharan: Pata nahi… Rabi’s tummy aching… I think the food at PG didn’t suit him again…
Asha: What’s the need to eat at PG? You can have here na…
Sharan: Not a bad idea… Can we both shift here? Sidhanto is staying at police quarters…
Asha: Sure… Why not? We will love that…
Bejoy: ~feels slightly worried about extra expenses; composing himself~ Yeah… Why should you stay at PG; when we are here?
Sharan: Great! Then we both will clean the storeroom and stay there… But on one condition… We will pay the rent and for food extra…
Sourav: No way… How can you think about paying? You are family…
Rabi: So? We are not going to stay here as relatives… I am a private investigator…
Sharan: And I have joined a law firm here… Have even started working… So, we are going to be paying…
Bejoy: Phir bhi….
Rabi: ~looking offended~ Do you doubt our abilities to make money? Do you think we can’t pay?
Asha: Nahi nahi… We didn’t mean that way…
Sharan: Well it looks like that… Our parents will feel bad too…
Bejoy: Achcha teek hai… Give us the same amount which you give at PG… Okay?
Sharan: Awesome… Now we can enjoy home food…
Rabi: ~hugs Asha~ And feel loved too… We won’t miss our parents now…
Everyone laugh…
Sharan: Achcha, we both will go out and come… Want to give these presents to Sona and family…
Asha: But… Rabi’s tummy ache?
Rabi: I took a pill… Now I am alright… Shall we go? Tomorrow, we will clean the storeroom…
Sharan: And move out of PG… Sidhanto will be so jealous…
Bejoy: Okay meet Sona and tell her that we all miss her…
Dadi: And if Dev babu is at home, ask him to come here; along with Sona… After marriage, we haven’t seen them at all…
Sharan: Ji dadi…
Sharan and Rabi leave…

~Evening~
Sona keeps the thaal ready with channi; stands in the balcony; waiting for moon and Dev…
Soon Dev’s car screeches outside…
Ishwari feels happy as Dev enters home…
Ishwari: Dev… How are you… Are you feeling weak?
Dev: I am alright ma… I am as hungry as hell…
Ishwari: ~gets water~ Drink this… You look so pale…
Dev: ~grabs and places the glass on the table~ Nahi ma… Abhi nahi… Did d moon rise? Where is Sona? I want to break her fast… And want her to break my fast too…
Ishwari: ~looks shocked~ I thought you were just being stubborn to fast…
Dev: Ma… I understand the importance of the fast… You have always said that anything we do; be it our work, relationships or religious matters like fasting or pooja, we need to do fulfil them with complete devotion… Or we won’t get the fruits as desired…
GKB keeps going out in the balcony; checks the sky and comes back… She keeps repeating the same…
Mamaji: Wah Dev beta… See Ishwari… Our Dev is so smart… Arey Radha… Wait patiently… The moon will rise…
GKB (Radha Rani): It’s easy for you to tell… It’s me who’s fasting… Not you… ~holds her stomach~
Mamaji: Dev, see this… Sona is fasting for the first time; yet there was no impatience in her… See your mami… Everyone will think that this Radha’s first time…
GKB glares at Mamaji…
Dev: ~laughs slightly~ I’ll go check on Sona…
Ishwari: Dev…
Mamaji: ~interrupting Ishwari~ Haan Dev beta… Sona is in the garden outside…
Dev: Wait ma… ~rushes to the garden~

~Garden~
Sona gazes at sky… ~Sona’s pov~ Oh my lovely moon… Neither you are here; nor my pati Dev… I have even finished praying to Karwa mata… Is it wrong to think of food now?
Dev steps close; lifts her and turns…
Sona: ~slightly shocked~ Dev!!! What are you doing?
Dev: ~places her down gently~ How’s my khargosh?
Sona: Hungry…. ~pouts~
Dev: Me too… Let’s break the fast now…
Sona: Dev… Chanda mama hasn’t risen yet!
Dev: When my moon, my chandini is here… ~cups Sona’s face~ Who waits for the moon?
Sona: ~blushes softly~ Well, in that case I will be able to break your fast… But what about my fast?
Dev: Well, I will get a mirror for you… You can also see my chandini…
Sona: Dev!!! You sound so cheesy…
Dev: ~smiles~ Well your eyes are twinkling… Admit it, you are loving my cheesy side…
Sona: I am impressed… Mr. Obodhro is slowly progressing to be Mr. Romantic…
Dev: This is just a trailer Mrs. Khargosh… Wait and watch… You will see how much your Obodhro has progressed during our honeymoon…
Sona: ~blushing suddenly~ Dev!! Badmash… Tumi ek dum pagol…
Dev: Sona… Phir se tumi tumi…
Devakshi laugh…
Dev steps closer to Sona; Sona feels shy and steps back… Dev leans in closer…

Nikki and Ria enter the garden; see Devakshi…
Nikki: Oooohhh… Our love birds are here…
Devakshi move slightly apart; feeling embarrassed…
Ria: Arey; moon hasn’t risen yet? Why is he torturing us today?
Sona: You both have fasted too? Why? I thought it’s only for married ladies?
Nikki: Even unmarried ladies do… To get their choice of husbands… ~suddenly Rabi pops in her mind~ ~Nikki’s pov~ Why am I thinking of Chipku Bose now? ~
Ria: Yes!!! ~thinks of Sharan~ ~Ria’s pov~ Why is Sharan popping up in my mind now? Have I started liking him?
Sona: That’s great!!! Let’s wait now…
Nikki and Ria nod and go to the other side…
Soon Sharan and Rabi arrive at Devakshi home…
Sharan: ~enters slowly~ Hello? Anybody home?
Rabi follows him…
Ishwari: Aap log? You both are…
Rabi: We are Sona’s brothers… We came to meet her… How are you all?
Ishwari: We are fine….
Sharan: And we have brought few gifts for you all…
GKB (Radha Rani): Gifts for me? I mean for us? Very nice…
Rabi: Yes, mami… For you especially… Here… ~hands her a parcel~
GKB (Radha Rani): ~smiles greedily~ Thank you, beta…
Sharan: Here are the rest…
Ishwari: Please keep it on the sofa there… Kichu, keep these parcels properly…
Sharan: Aunty, chachaji.. I mean Sona’s baba has invited Dev jiju and Sona home… Post marriage rituals…
Ishwari: ~looks uncomfortable~ Is it necessary for Dev to be present?
Sharan and Rabi look at each other…
Sharan: Yes… Jiju must be there…
Mamaji: Don’t worry beta… Dev and our bahurani will be there… Is evening okay?
Sharan: Yes… By 5 or 6 pm…
Mamaji: No problem… They’ll come…
Rabi: ~nods~ Aunty, wo Sona di?
Mamaji: She’s in the garden outside; waiting for the moon… Go meet her…
Sharan and Rabi smile and leave…

~Garden~
Finally, the moon rises…
Ishwari comes near the window; watches Devakshi…
Sona looks at moon through channi and then at Dev; places it on the thaal… Dev quickly takes it and does the same…. Sona shakes her head and does the aarti…
Sona takes the sweet and feeds laddoo to Dev…
Dev: ~smiles~ Wow this laddoo tastes amazing… Ma didn’t make it… Did you?
Ishwari looks slightly surprised and shocked…
Sona: ~nods smiling~ Here… ~gives him water~
Dev slowly feeds Sona the laddoo and gives her the water…
Devakshi completed their first karwachauth fast successfully…
Dev: Now Sona… Close your eyes!
Sona: Why? ~closing her eyes~
Dev: I have a surprise for you… No opening your eyes; till I tell… Okay?
Sona: What surprise? Tell na, quickly…
Dev smiles

Other side of the garden,
Ria sees the moon through channi… ~Ria’s pov~ If I move this channi, will I see my perfect partner? ~again thinks of Sharan; moves the channi and sees Sharan walking towards him~ I think I’ve started liking him… I am seeing him everywhere… But what if he doesn’t like me back… Ria you are officially screwed…
Ria starts coughing suddenly…
Sharan rushes to her; takes the water glass and feeds her the water… Ria drinks; feeling shocked…
Sharan: ~feeding the sweet~ Be careful Ms. Ria…. Sorry you had started coughing… So…
Ria: You are here? Really? I thought…
Sharan: Looks like you were missing me… ~smiles~
Ria: ~composing herself~ Aisa kuch nahi…
Sharan: Your lips may lie Ria… But your eyes… They seem to be confessing something else… No problem… I will wait…
Sharan starts walking away; smiling ~Sharan’s pov~ Wow… She does like me… But I have to wait… Till she accepts that she loves me…
Nikki starts looking at moon; keeps thinking about Rabi and sees him walking… ~Nikki’s pov~ Stupid Chipku Bose… I see him everywhere… Kya karoon… ~sees the table in the garden; samosas on the table~
Nikki takes a bite and starts coughing…
Nikki: Ow… Mirchi!!! ~starts fanning her mouth~ Paani…
Rabi: ~rushes to her; shaking his head~ Arey Ms Teekhi Mirchi… I know that you are teekhi mirchi… Should you break your fast with this? ~grabs water glass; makes her drink water~ Here ~takes a sweet and feeds her~ Always break your fast with something sweet!
Nikki: ~munching furiously~ Okay okay… You don’t have to give lectures… What are you doing here?
Rabi: How disappointing! I just gave you water and sweet… No gratitude what so ever!!!
Nikki: Hello… You didn’t bring them; you just lifted them from the table here… I could’ve taken it by myself…
Rabi: Hmph… Anyway, I didn’t come here to help you of course… I came with Sharan bro… I should be leaving soon… Jhanvi… I mean Jaanu will be waiting for me…
Nikki: ~feeling slightly jealous~ Who’s this Jhanvi?
Rabi: Who Jaannu? Oh… she stays near my PG… She has a crush on me… Today’s her first karwachauth… She asked me to come… You know… She’s so gorgeous… Her eyes… God… Kaatilana… And her smile… My god… And the way she talks… So much lovely and kind…
And I am stuck here… ~Rabi’s pov~ Let me see if my Teekhi Mirchi feels jealous…
Nikki: ~feeling slightly angry~ What do you mean by that? Aren’t my eyes beautiful… Do I look ugly to you? Entire college is fida over my smile… And do you mean that I don’t speak kindly?
Rabi: You and beautiful? No way… Do you study in college for blind or something? How can anyone find your smile attractive? And when have you ever smiled at me or spoken to me kindly?
Nikki: ~looks hurt~ Do you mean to say that I am not beautiful enough… Fine! Go to your Madhavi or Jhanvi… Who cares! ~starts walking away~ ~Nikki’s pov~ Why do I feel bothered that he doesn’t find me attractive? Why does it matter that he doesn’t like me? I am so stupid to think that he cares for me…
Rabi: ~grabbing her arm; pulls her close~ Where are you going now?
Nikki: ~tries freeing herself~ Chodo mujhe… Jao na… Apne Jaanu ke paas…
Rabi: ~pulls her more close; lifts her chin~ I am with my jaanu… ~winks at her~ I didn’t know that my Teekhi Mirchi will get so much affected by my sweet lie…
Nikki: Lie? ~feels happy slightly; but composes~ I am not your jaanu… ~frees herself~
Rabi: Really? ~smiles mischievous~
Nikki feels nervous and starts walking away…
Rabi: One day soon you will accept Ms. Teekhi Mirchi… ~smiles brightly~
Nikki turns; looks at him and goes away smiling… ~Nikki’s pov~ I think I am falling for him…

~Balcony~
Mamaji breaks GKB’s fast…
GKB (Radha Rani): Shukr hai… I thought moon won’t rise at all today… ~rushes to dining table and starts eating more sweets~
Mamaji shakes his head…

Neha: Ranvir… I want to discuss something with you…
