Next evening in khandelwal house……..its the sangeet  function…….

 

 

The whole house is decorated wid all blue hues…….fragrances of flowers spreading all over…….

 

 

Pratap khandelwal is busy in preparations……wheras his three daughters are busy in getting ready……

 

 

Lets peek in everyone's room………starting wid mansvi…….

 

 

Mansvi is standing in front of the mirror and adjusting her saree…….she is wearing a bright red saree wid beautidul works on it……..

 

 

After adjusting her saree…..her attention goes to a jewellery set placed on the dressin table…….

 

 

Seeing that set……she blushes………

 

 

The set in question was gifted to her by suraj……..while shoping for engagement…..

 

 

She goes to the jewellery set ……….opens the box……it's a beautiful ruby set…….wid beautiful intricate design on it……..

 

 

She removes the necklace from it…….looks at it…….blushes and then kisses it……

 

 

Then takes the necklace and wears it…….and then touches it……smiles …….wears the earrings in the set……….

 

 

Finally she wears a matching bindi……..smiles…..

 

 

Mv: najane suraj aaj  mujhe dekh……..(blushes)………

 

 

 

Lets see whats happening in ………miss shefali's room……..

 

 

In this room ………all the dresses are heaped on the floor……dresses of all colours…….red,blue,violet,green,yellow,black,white,magenta…… .

 

 

 

And we see……a lady……wid face pack on her face……..and rollers on her head………hairs pinned up……

 

 

 

Sf: ofo…….kya pehnu main aaj……aal the dresses are so good…….

 

 

Takes some dresses in her hand ……….goes to the mirror…….

 

 

Sf: this one…….nah……this is perfect……..but the blue suits me well………

 

 

Just then there is a knock on the door………shefali goes to open it…….it was mansvi……..

 

 

Sf: di!!!!!!!hey………….(just realizing) OMG!!!!!!!! Ur already READY……..and look at me…….

 

 

MAnsvi enters the room wid a smile……..but soon after her smile fades away seeing shefali……and the clothes heaped on the floor…….

 

 

Mv: Shefali!!1 whats all this……….

 

 

Shefali is walking …….in…….and looks back at mansvi…….

 

 

Sf: Di!! Who…….AAAAA

 

 

Shefali falls upon the clothes…….and her face is tucked between the clothes…….

 

 

Seeing this mansvi is unable to control her laughter……..

 

 

Mv: haha…….shefali……tum bhi…….haaaa……

 

 

Sf: di……

 

 

Shefali tries to get up……..but her legs get strangled in some clothes and she falls back again………and this invites mansvi's uncontrolaable laughter…….

 

 

Sf: di…….try helping me instead of laughing……..

 

 

Shefali this time was messed up again……as her rollers were stuck in some clothes……..makin it impossible for mansvi to control her laughter……..

 

 

Mv: hahahaha

 

 

Sf: di!!

 

 

Mv: (tryng to control her laughter) ok….theek hai baba……..

 

 

Mansvi helps shefali get out of the mess……

 

 

Sf: uff!! I thought I am tucked up in that cloth bazaar for the whole day…….

 

 

Mv: (controlling her laughter) well…..the so called  Cloth bazaar is urs……..

 

 

Sf: haan but I am not able to decide……

 

 

Mv: shefali……tumhain kabse bhumi ki bimaari ho gayi……

Sf:hmm

Sf: okay!!

 

 

Shefali goes inside washroom……

 

 

Mv: thank god…..she was perfectly lookin like a ghost……but never mind…..the dress……. (archin her eyebrows)

 

 

Shefali comes out of washroom……..

Mansvi leaves the room………….

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile lets see whats happening in bhumi's room………

 

 

Bhumi is standing in front of the mirror…….lookin lost and forlorn…..wearing a beautiful green chudidaar…….and matching jewellery……..

 

 

Bhumi was combing her hair……..but she was hardly interested…….she was very upset by what happened yesterday at heritage house……

 

 

Bhumi remembers her first kiss……that is the kiss between her and arjun on engagement day………

 

 

And then she remembers yesterday's incident…….where dia said that……dia was arjun's first date and also his first kiss was wid her……

 

 

Tears flow from her eyes…….she felt bad coz she felt that ……his first kiss was wid her…….but no she was wrong……it was dia…..not her……

 

 

She feels awful…….but again and again the kiss incident on engagement day comes in front of her……..

 

 

Mansvi and shefali get ready and go to bhumi's room……Bhumi opens the door……but wipes her tears…….

 

 

Sf: hey bhumi baby….ready….hmm lookin pretty…….
