The exhibition gallery was buzzing with guests and art enthusiasts. Omkara was attending the media while the others were roaming around the gallery and watching the paintings and sculptures made by Om.
Every single person were in awe and were praising Om's works. The family was really happy seeing Om getting appreciated for his work.
Ranveer took out time from his schedule and came to visit the art exhibition on Om's invitation. As they met,they shook hands and Ranveer congratulated Om for his success..
Om took him for a tour of the exhibition hall where his paintings and sculptures were kept. Ranveer was really impressed and praised his work.
Soon,Ishana joined Om and others. Om introduced Ishana to Ranveer. Ishana talked for a while and went to join the family.
Ranveer soon spotted Anika who was happily chatting with Rudra,Ishana and Priyanka.. He went near them and shook hands with Rudra. Anika gave him a side hug and welcomed him to the chat.
Priyanka saw Ranveer and smiled at him. Ranveer saw this and returned the gesture with a smile as well.
"Hi..Ms.Oberoi. Kaisi hai aap?" Ranveer asked.
"Main acchi hu.. Aap kaise hai?" Priyanka asked softly.
"I am as usual.. Fit and fine.." Ranveer replied with a smile.
Priyanka had an instant liking for Ranveer. She feels happy when she is with Ranveer. She feels secured when Ranveer is with her. This was noticed by Anika,Ishana,Rudra and Omkara.
"Prinku aur Ranveer ki jodi kitni acchi lagrahi hai.. Hai na?" Anika asked.
"Haan Di.. Dekha aapne? Kaise apne andar ke darr ko bhulake Ranveer se khud jaake baat kar rahi hai." Ishana replied.
"I think Prinku keliye Ranveer sahi larka hai jo usse madat karegi apne andar ke darr ko bahar nikalne keliye..Aur.. Prinku se bohut pyaar karega aur uske har ek khushiyo ka khyaal rakkhega.." Rudra voiced out.
"Baat toh sahi hai.. But.. Humein Ranveer se bhi puchna parega.. Woh kya feel karta hai aur kya woh insab keliye raazi hoga ya nahi?" Omkara replied.
"Woh sab tum mujhpe chhordo.. Main baat karti hu Ranveer se.. Shayad woh mujhse kahe.." Anika replied and went to talk with Ranveer.
Anika went towards Ranveer who was talking with the Elder Oberois'. Anika excused herself and Ranveer from them for some moments and went towards a bench and sat there.
Omkara,Rudra,Ishana and Saumya,Rudra's girlfriend sat on the bench just behind Ranveer,so that they can hear the conversation. Shivaay,who was passing from there,was pulled by Rudra and made him sit with them.
An: "Ranveer.. Kya main kuch puch sakti hu tumse?"
Ran(surprisingly): "Tumhe kabse permission mangni pathi mujhse baat karne keliye? Dont you remember jab main,tum aur Aayesha kaise baat karte rehte thhe midnight tak? Bhul gayi kya?"
An(sternly): Lets talk some business.. Mujhe kuch aur baat karni hai.. Its serious..
Ran: "Bolo.. kya baat karni hai? Any problem?"
An(hesitantly): "Kya tum Priyanka se pyaar karte ho? Sach sach batana."
Ran(shocked): KYA?!?!?!
An: "Shant ho jao,Ranveer. I know mujhe aise sawal nahi karna chahiye thha.. Woh.. Aaj hum sabne dekha ki tum aur Priyanka kaise ek dusre se comfortably baat kar rahe thhe.. Kaise ek dusre ko dekh rahe thhe aur sabse zaruri baat.. Priyanka ne aaj pehli baar kisise bina dare huye baat ki hai.. I think.. She is perfect for you.. She is beautiful..innocent..loving and caring aur sabse zyada..Tumse bohut pyaar karti hai.. Woh batati nahi hai par main samajti hu..Uski aakhein parsakti hu main.."
Ranveer smiled at the way Anika revealed about Priyanka's feelings.
"Main Priyanka aaj se nahi.. Balki usdin se usse pyaar karne laga hu jab maine usse pehli baar dekha thha jab woh mujhe kheech rahi thi taaki mujhe chot na lage aur galti se woh girgayi.. Unki muskaan,unki saadgi,unka saaf dil aur sabse baari baat.. Unki confidence aur unki aakhein.. Main Priyanka se saccha pyaar karta hu.. Har ek din,iss ummeed ke saath jeeraha thha ki kabhi woh miljaye.. Anika.. Main unki har darr ko mitana chahta hu apne pyaar se.. Main unhe itna pyaar dunga aur itni khushiyaan dunga ke woh har ek darr ko bhul jayengi.."
Ranveer confessed his feelings honestly. His confession brought tears in the eyes' of Anika,Shivaay-Omkara-Rudra,Ishana and Saumya.
"I am really proud of you,Ranveer. Mujhe pata hai ki main galat nahi hu.. Tum Priyanka keliye ekdum perfect ho.. She will be really happy with you.. So.. Kab propose kar rahe ho meri friend ko?" Anika replied.
"Mann toh karta hai ki abhi kardu propose.. Par,main kuch samay lena chahta hu taaki main Priyanka ko aur nazdeek se jaan saku.. Unki likes,dislikes jaan saku.. Aur main unki vishwas jeetna chahta hu..unki ummeed aur bharosa jeetna chahta hu.. Kyunki.. Jab kisika vishwas aur bharosa tootta hai,tab dard ghav se bhi zyada hote hai.. Aur main ye kabhi nahi chahunga.." Ranveer said with honesty.
Anika's eyes' went blank and teared up at the same time.She could relate with those words which Ranveer just said.
"Apno ke diye huye ghav zyada chubhte hai.. Vishwas aur bharosa kaach ki tarha hota hai..Jab tootta hai toh hazar tukre hojate hai jo kabhi jurhte nahi.." Anika said absentmindedly. Others listened to their convo,especially Shivaay who was feeling guilty.
"Main humare rishtey ko kisi secret ya phir koi jhoot ki zameen par khara karna chahta hu.. In short,humare darmiyaan koi hesitations nahi rakhna chahta hu..Sab kuch free of shackles banana chahta hu.. Thora woh mujhe jaanr aur thora main unhe jaanu. Aur shayad Priyanka bhi yahi chahti hongi..Hai na?" Ranveer replied with his smile.
"Sure.. Main aaj Priyanka se baat karungi.. Maasa aur Babasaa manenge tumhari aur Priyanka ke rishte ko?" Anika asked with concern and seriousness.
"Zarur maanenge woh. Infact..They know about Priyanka.. Maine woh kissa bataya thha Mom aur Papa ko.. They liked her instantly and they want to make her their daughter-in-law." Ranveer replied.
"That's great.. Main Priyanka ke family se baat karti hu aur tumhare ghar aati hu Maasa aur Babasaa se baat karne keliye.. Ok!" Anika replied with a smile.
"Thik hai.. Main tumhe bata dunga ki kya baat decide huyi hai.. Abhi main chalta hu.. Ek raid karne jaana hai.. Sabse kehdena. Aur Priyanka se bhi.. Bye.." Ranveer smiles and leaves after giving a friendly hug to Anika.
Shivaay felt insecure and jealous seeing Anika and Ranveer so comfortable with each other. Omkara-Rudra-Ishana-Saumya could see that Shivaay was becoming jealous of them. They thought to tell it to Daadi.
Precap: Daadi coming to know about Shivaay falling in love with Anika.
