Pranbir start fake coughing and Mishti and Kabir quickly move apart. Ranbir and Prachi give them teasing looks. “Wo Bhai, Bhabhi it’s nothing like you think, me and Kabir are just friends,” Mishti quickly says while Kabir thinks, why don’t you just tell them the truth Mishti, I’m sure they won’t mind. “Par Mishti, Prachi and I never even said anything so why are you trying to make us believe that you and Kabir are just friends,” Ranbir asks, raising an eyebrow along with a knowing smirk. Mishti sighs and says, “please don’t tell mom and dad yet, they barely know Kabir so I don’t think they’ll accept relation so quickly.” “Mishti there is no need to worry as Kabir is Prachi’s cousin and I’m sure she knows him well enough to convince mom and dad,” Ranbir says. Mishti gets happy when Kabir says, “but how will we convince my parents for mine and Mishti’s marriage.” “That will be easy you can just go and tell them that you want to marry Mishti,” Prachi says. “But mom won’t agree so easily,” Kabir says. “Actually even if Maasi doesn’t listen to you she will surely listen to me especially since I’ve know Mishti longer than I’ve known Ranbir,” Prachi smiles. Pranbir’s and Kabir-Mishti’s conversation was interrupted by Abhigya and Pallavi-Vikram.
“Hello everyone, as you all already know you are here at the reception of my son-in-law, Ranbir and my daughter, Prachi. And to start off with the reception lets have our newly wedded couple do a couple dance,” announced Abhi.
Smiling Ranbir forwards a hand to Prachi and Prachi, smiling a little herself takes it and the two go off towards the dance floor.
Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte, Tere bina kya wajood mera,
(Music)
Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte,Tere bina kya wajood mera,
Tujhse juda agar ho jaayenda, Toh khud se hi ho jaayenge judaa,
Ranbir wraps his arms around Prachi’s waist and Prachi rests her hands on Ranbir’s chest and the two start moving to the beat.
Kyuki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho,
Zindagi ab tum hi ho, chain bhi mera dard bhi,
Meri Aashiqui ab tum hi ho,
(Music)
Ranbir spins Prachi around him and soon one hand of Prachi’s is on Ranbir’s shoulder and the other is in his hand while Ranbir’s other hand is wrapped around Prachi’s waist.
Tera mera rishta kaisa, Ik pal door gawara nahi,
Tere liye har roz hai jeeta, Tujh ko diya mera waqt sabhi,
Koi lahma mera na ho tere bina, Har saans pe naam tera,
Ranbir lifts Prachi off the ground and slowly spins her around, then put her down and the two continue dancing.
Kyuki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho,
Zindagi ab tum hi ho, chain bhi mera dard bhi,
Meri Aashiqui ab tum hi ho,
(Music)
Tum hi ho…. Tum hi ho,
Ranbir wraps his arms around Prachi’s waist and pulls her close, causing their foreheads to touch.
Tere liya hi jiya main, Khud ko jo yu de diya hai,
Teri wafa ne mujhko sambhala hai, Saare ghamon ko dil se nikala,
Tere saath mera hai naseeb juda, Tujhe paake adhoora na raha hmm…
Prachi lets go of one of Ranbir’s hands and moves away, still holding the other one.
Kyuki tum hi ho, Ab tum hi ho,
Zindagi ab tum hi ho, mera chain bhi, mera dard bhi,
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho (x2)
Ranbir pulls Prachi back and like usual, the two loose themselves in each others eyes.
Everyone’s applause though manages to bring Prachi and Ranbir out of their passionate eye lock and the two instantly move away. Before the reception continued Prachi spotted someone and smirked. Prachi thinks, the plan that Riya made should work. I just need to think of a way to stop her from getting exposed.
Prachi turns to Ranbir and says, “Ranbir I’ll be back I’m just a little thirsty.” Ranbir replies, “I’ll come with you.” “No need, I’ll be back in minute,” Prachi says. Ranbir sighs and nods. Prachi walks away to ‘get water’.
================================
Abhi says, “fuggie waise, you know I think we should have a dance a well, after all it is our daughters reception.” “Haa Pragya ji, I think Abhi is right after all, even we want to the love we’ve heard so much about in action,” Pallavi supports Abhi. “I actually think this is the first time Abhi said something sensible,” Vikram says. While Abhi glares at Vikram and then Pragya as she chuckled at Vikram’s statement. “Don’t worry fuggie you will get your punishment soon enough but first let me see Vikram,” Abhi says glaring at Vikram and takes him with him to the terrace and Pallavi and Pragya followed to prevent another verbal war from starting.
================================
Prachi reaches Riya’s room and Riya comes out and says, “Di, did you see him?” “Yes, I did see him but I didn’t talk with him for you still need to tell me the whole plan,” Prachi says.
“The plan is simple, I will send a waiter with a drink that looks like apple juice but is actually alcohol and it will be mixed with water only there will be more alcohol and he reveal that he was responsible for everything that happened that night,” Riya says. “But what if he….,” Prachi trails off but Riya understands exactly what Prachi was going to say and says, “then I’m exposed and I will get whatever punishment I deserve.”
Prachi lets out a sigh and says, “okay but lets try not to get you exposed.” Riya nods and thinks, if I’m exposed it’s because of my own fault but I want I will do anything to expose those people who tried to hurt my Di, I will tell everyone about all the crimes I’ve committed eventually but I have to make sure that everyone who was in leagues with me gets punished first because if I’m jail I won’t be able to punish those who have tried to hurt my Di. I’ll go to jail willing after I’ve punished everyone else who has hurt my Di.
Prachi says, “Riya I’ll go now. You send the waiter over to us okay.” Riya nods and Prachi leaves.
================================
Prachi is walking through looking for the waiter when Sanju popped in front of her. “Hi Prachi how are you?” Sanju smiles. “I’m good how about you?” Prachi lets out a fake smile. “I’m good too. I heard you got married. Congrats,” Sanju says, this time letting out fake smile as well and goes for a hug when another voice stops him. “Yup, she’s married now, to me and Mrs. Prachi Ranbir Kohli I need to talk with you now, ” Ranbir says gritting his teeth. Prachi sighs and bids bye to Sanju and walks away with Ranbir.
“I thought I told you that, that guy is bad news,” Ranbir says, jealously clearly visible in his eyes. “Well I just think you’re jealous,” Prachi replies. “Okay fine maybe I was jealous but I still get a bad vibe from him,” Ranbir says honestly. “Ranbir how about this instead of just me talking with Sanju, we’ll talk with Sanju and this will prove that Sanju is not bad news,” Prachi replies not quite meeting Ranbir’s eyes at the last part. “Prachi what do you know?” Ranbir asks. “What do I know about what?” Prachi replies trying to sound confused though clearly knowing what Ranbir was talking about. “What do you know about Sanju?” Ranbir asks more clearer. Prachi sighs and knowing she won’t be able to hide it for much longer she reveals that he was the one along with some other people who asked the waiter to spike her drink in the Diwali party, carefully leaving out Riya’s name. Prachi also tells Ranbir about the plan that Riya made to make Sanju reveal all of this.
Once Prachi was done explaining the plan Ranbir asked, “but how does Riya know about Sanju spiking your drink?” “I told her,” Prachi lies looking at a nearby vase. Ranbir nods and even though he knew Prachi was lying he decided to let her tell him when she was comfortable with it, after all Riya was her sister.
“Let’s go and execute your plan then,” Ranbir says. Prachi nods and the two walk off to find Sanju.
================================
As Ranbir had suspected Sanju was exactly where he was before. Sanju was furious at what he saw, Prachi and Ranbir were holding hands! Sanju gritted and gave a forced smile. Ranbir said, “Sanju your still here, well here have a drink.” Ranbir gets the drink from the waiter and give it to Sanju. Sanju says, “no thanks.” “Sanju please have it na you seem exhausted,” Prachi says taking the glass from Ranbir and offering it to Sanju. “Well, if you insist,” Sanju smiles and drinks the ‘apple juice’.
Prachi thinks, god please forgive me I tricked someone into drinking alcohol and I know that’s wrong. Sorry.
Ranbir thinks, I know Prachi’s probably feeling guilty for tricking Sanju into drinking alcohol but Sanju deserves this, for trying to defame you. And now he’ll be exposed.
Sanju starts getting the effects of the alcohol and on seeing Prachi and Ranbir holding hands he yells, “why you are holding my Prachi’s hand?!” Ranbir glares at Sanju and is about to say something when Prachi signs him not to do anything. Prachi says, “since when am I yours?” “Prachi don’t tell me you’ve started liking him after all I’ve done for you,” Sanju says. “And what have you done for me?” Prachi asks. “I..I became I criminal for you! I asked the waiter to spike your drink on Diwali so that you would fall for me! And when that didn’t work I kidnapped you so that I would get married to you but no, you got married with Ranbir instead!” Sanju yells. Prachi and Ranbir get shocked to know that Sanju was the one who kidnapped Prachi. Riya who was hiding behind a pillar froze in shock but quickly sent the video she was recording to one of the police inspectors who would be coming here very soon as evidence so that they know what they are saying is true.
Riya comes to the front of the pillar and says, “thank you Sanju for admitting that you’ve done all that with my Di, the police should arrive in exactly 1….. 2…………… 3.” The police arrived exactly at the moment Riya said 3 and the inspector comes and arrests Sanju and says, “we will have a look at the video you sent us right now but of the evidence proves to be wrong then I’m afraid we will have to arrest Riya Mehra for she accused someone without reason.” Riya nods and the inspector plays the evidence and seeing that it was real they take Sanju away.
“Thank god that Sanju has disappeared from our lives,” Ranbir happily says. Prachi smiles. Riya thinks, awe, their love for each other is clearly visible in their eyes I need to something to bring them more close so I can tease them. Riya gets a cheeky idea and puts her foot out causing Prachi to trip but Ranbir catches her and the two loose themselves in each others eyes, again.
After a few minutes Riya pretends to clear her throat and says, “Di, Jiju if you guys are done looking at each other than may I remind you that there are guests whom we need to attend to, you guys have all night to stare into each others eyes.” Prachi gets up and turns scarlet. Prachi thinks, Riya don’t you worry as soon as your married I will start getting my revenge.
Ranbir is about to say something when Aryan and Shahana comes towards them, as they had heard Riya teasing Pranbir so how could they not? Shahana chuckles, “I think Riya is right besides who knows what you guys will do at night.” Prachi glares at Shahana and says, “Aryan before you even think of teasing me and Ranbir I will reveal what I saw to everyone present here if any of even try to tease us and I’m sure our parents won’t mind another marriage.” Aryan instantly says, “Prachi I was going to tell Riya to stop teasing you guys.” “Ye, Riya stop teasing Prachi and Ranbir, ” Shahana say agreeing with Aryan. Aryan and Shahana quickly for they knew it would be impossible for them to stay without teasing Prachi and Ranbir.
Ranbir and Riya look at Prachi with questioning looks. “What?” Prachi asks confused on why Ranbir and Riya were looking at her like that. “What did you see in the kitchen this morning? Ranbir asks curiously and Riya nods her head as she was wondering the same thing. “Well, Riya I’m not going to tell as a punishment for teasing us. Ranbir I’ll tell you later to make sure that no-one can hear us,” Prachi replies. Riya groans and walks away.
================================
Abhi says, in an extremely serious tone, “look Vikram I will get revenge on you for what you said down there but first I need to tell you something important.” “What is it Abhi?” Vikram asks worried, by hearing Abhi’s serious tone. “You remember the girl Tanu whom I told you about?” Abhi says. “Yes, she was the one who tried to create problems between yours and Pragya ji’s marriage right?” Vikram asks. “Yes, she now wants to take revenge from Pragya and so she’s saying that she’s going to harm everyone she loves that why Pragya said to keep it a secret that she was related to Karan and Preeta as she didn’t want their family in danger. She told me about this that night and the number was a private one but one my friends managed to find out who it was and it showed me Tanu’s photo.”
“What?! Why didn’t you tell me about this?” A angry female voice asks.
“Fu..Fuggie, I’m sorry I didn’t want to worry you,” Abhi says. Pragya closes her eyes and says, “we need to make sure our children don’t go anywhere without permission who knows what Tanu will do.” Abhi nods and Pallavi and Vikram leave as the reception had finished. Abhi and Pragya also leave to sleep.
