Khushi and Arnav walked down the stairs as everyone cheered for them. Confetti fell on them as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Everyone: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARNAV!!!!
Arnav was surprised. He walked to his mother and took blessings from her.
Neelu: Jeete raho.
Arnav: Mum, yeh hai Khushi...meri...
Everyone: Ooo
Neelu: Aao Khushi.
Khushi walked to Neelu and took her blessings.
Anu: Chalo, let's cut the cake!
Everyone walked to the center of the room. Arnav stood behind the enormous cake. Like every year, the cake was the same design, just how Arnav liked it. It was a white cake, with blue icing. But another surprise was added on top of the cake. Instead of a photo of Arnav on the top, it was Arnav and Khushi.
Arnav: Maaa!!!
Everyone laughed as Khushi blushed!
Shilpa whispered to Khushi: Kya family pai hai. They already like you so much!
Khushi: Shilpa!!!
Meanwhile, the servants distributed the cakes as everyone sat down in front of the stage.
Anu: Welcome to the Khurana's!
Armaan: Today as it is our brother Arnav's birthday, we would like to present you a short video.
The room went dark as a video came up on the screen. It was of Arnav when he was small, doing cheeky things. The lights came back on as everyone giggled.
Arnav: BHAI!!!
He chased Anu and Arnav around the whole house until they were tired.
Arjun: Not only that Arnav Bhaiya, but we also have another surprise.
Arjun went backstage.
Arjun: Arohi, you're ready?
Arohi: Yep.
Arjun: Let's go.
Arjuhi went on stage.
Arjun: Hey everyone. Me and Arohi are presenting you...Arnav and Khushi's Love Story!!!
Everyone clapped as Arjuhi got ready in their positions.
Arohi walked on the stage. Arohi bumped into Arjun and fell into his arms. It was a cute eyelock. Even though they were acting, Arjuhi were lost in each other.
Taani: Ahem...Ahem.
Arjuhi came back 2 their senses as they went off stage.
Shilpa and Armaan had to act next. They weren't professionals like Arjuhi, but they tried their best.
Shilpa was dancing by herself.
Shilpa: Come on Arnav!
She ran to the shelter and pulled Armaan out. They danced together, hand in hand. Armaan just kept looking at Shilpa.
Armaan: I want to tell you something.
Shilpa: Bolo na.
Armaan: I love you Shilpa.
Everyone was shocked. Shilpa was even more shocked.
Shilpa: Armaan...Remember ur Arnav not Armaan. It's the play.
Armaan: But I really love you Shilpa.
Taani went to Shilpa.
Taani: Shilpa...Do you love him? Bolo na.
Shilpa looked down.
Shilpa: I love you Armaan.
She hugged Armaan as everyone applauded. 2 love stories were set, just Taanu and Arjuhi were left.
It was 8pm and Taani, Shilpa, Arohi and Khushi decided to go home.
Taani: Bye everyone.
They walked out of the house. Just as they stepped out, Armaan and Arnav ran to them.
Taani: Hmmm...Chalo Arohi. Hum jaate hai.
They giggled as they walked away.
Arnav: Thnx for coming Khushi. You really made my day.
Khushi: I think I should go now.
Khushi started to walk when Arnav grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
Arnav: I love you Khushi.
Khushi: Love u 2.
She kissed him on the cheeks and ran to Taani and Arohi.
Shilpa: Sooo
Armaan: Goodnight.
Shilpa: Excuse me. Goodnight? I should be the one saying that. Why did you want me to stay here then? Goodnight 2 u 2.
Armaan: Shilpa...
Shilpa: What?
Armaan: I love you.
Shilpa: & I hate u!
She walked off. As she was walking, Shilpa dropped a piece of paper on the floor and ran to her friends.
Armaan picked it up. He unfolded it.
Armaan read: I love you to. ❤️
He smiled as he walked back to his house.
Taani and her friends reached their house. They opened the door. As soon as they entered, Taani stopped. She was shocked!
Taani: Chachi yeh kaun hai? 😕
Right in front of them was a man, tall and handsome. He looked at Taani and smiled at her.
Taani: Hey, I'm Adhiraj but you can call me Raj.
Adhiraj Patel
Adhiraj is a dashing boy who has come to see Taani for marriage.
Arohi: Di, he's the one that wants to marry you. You know the rishta from Chachi?
Taani: I'm Taani. Where's Daljeet Chachi?
Raj: Aunty is in the kitchen.
Taani: Excuse me.
She walked to the kitchen.
Taani: Chachi, why is he here?
Daljeet: Oh, Adhiraj. He has come to Mumbai so I thought I'll let him stay here.
Taani: HERE???!!!!!
Daljeet: Yes. Now, shant ho jao. What will he be thinking? He's a NRI you know.
Taani: I don't care what he will be thinking. I don't want to get married to him.
She ran out of the kitchen and went to her room.
Shilpa followed Taani as Khushi and Arohi sat with Adhiraj.
Arohi: Sooo...Where do you live?
Raj: England.
Khushi: And in India?
Raj: Delhi.
Arohi: Hmm...Where do you work?
Raj: I take care of my Dad's business. Btw, I do know Hindi.
Khushi: Toh...Why do you want to marry Taani Di?
Raj: Because she's quiet, sweet and a sanskari girl.
Daljeet: Acha larkiyon, kitne sawal karoge. Raj ko aaram karne do.
Khushi and Arohi walked to Taani's room.
Shilpa: Taani...
Taani hugged Shilpa as she cried and cried. 😭
Taani: Shilpa...Why me? I don't even know this Raj and I have to get married to him.
Arohi: Well you don't have to.
Taani. Shilpa: Matlab?
Khushi: Aru's right. We can get him to say no.
Taani: Kaise.
Arohi: Well...All you have to do is watch. Me and Khushi will do the rest.
Shilpa: Aru and Khushi, saaf saaf batao.
Khushi: Ok so listen carefully. Me and Aru will play pranks on him until he get's annoyed. Then whenever Taani Di has to talk with him, she just has to do all the opposite stuff. Meaning that Taani has to be the loud 1 not the quiet.
Taani and Shilpa were confused.
Arohi: Coz, he likes calm and quiet girls, just like our Taani Di. But, if you want him to say no, then you have to be the loud.
Taani: I'm not sure. I don't want 2 deceive him.
Shilpa: How can u be so nice all the time? Aur koi option nahi hai.
Taani: But what if I tell him the truth?
