Gopal: Oh yeah!!! Then whats just happened here?
Ekta: Trust me Shiv'I've done nothing wrong'I'll tell you the whole incident 'then you decide who is at fault'.You remember, 6 months back I told you, that you've got a marriage proposal'
Shiv: Ya'
Ekta: That proposal was from Alok babu for Gauri!
Shiv: What???
Ekta: Ya, Shiv'.Alok babu had called me...for Gauri'he told me he always wanted you as his groom for his Gauri'.when I told you about the proposal'the only thing you told me was ,'di your decision will be my decision''so I didn't disclose Alokji or Gauris name to you'I went to Alok babus house the following day'I saw her photo'and I had an instant connection with her'I felt that she would be apt to be your wife'but Shiv'my dream was short lived'I heard a commotion upstairs'that's where Gauri room was'I decided to go up there'Alok babu was requesting Gauri to come down and speak to me'She flatly refused'She said to Alokji, "baba you know that I love Prateek and only him'I know you don't like him'but that's alright'if you don't give your consent for my marriage with him, I will remain a spinster my whole life'but my life only belongs to Prateek no one else"'. This upset me a lot'.
Gopal: Oh'so that gave you the right to scheme things, right?
Ekta: Gopal...let me complete'.Shiv'I spoke to Alokji'I told him that his happiness should be in his daughter's happiness and he should give his consent to Prateek n Gauri's marriage'he told me that Prateek was not a good guy'.but then it's natural for every father to believe that his daughter's choice is wrong'so I refused the proposal '.I left the house ,neither did Gauri nor Kaya saw me . I then went to visit my friend '.but my mind was still thinking about Gauri'.so to de-stress myself I decided to go shopping in the nearby mall''"
Gopal: then what happened?
Ekta: 'as I was shopping my eyes fell on a sweet girl who was waiting for someone'I thought I had seen her before'.n then it struck me that she was Gauri'I felt the need of speaking to her'to clear her misconceptions on what had happened 'I proceeded towards her'when a guy walked in and gave her a hug'he was Prateek'.so I just walked off to continue my shopping'They came to the clothes section where I was'Prateek was talking about his parents coming to India and he wanted to introduce Gauri to them so he wanted her to look presentable'she was unbearably excited'she loved a sari..It looked so pretty on her'but he mocked and ridiculed her infront of the sales staff'the embarrassment was so visible on Gauri's face'she finally relented to the outfit of Prateek's choice'you know Shiv...that's the sari I gifted her'. I totally sympathized with her'I couldn't see her compromising'
Shiv: Di'but that was their problem'why did you do have to get involved in this?
Ekta:No Shiv'I didn't get involved'in fact I didn't know what happened with Gauri after that'..till one fine day I received a call from Alokji'he told me that Gauri's marriage has been fixed with Prateek and the next week the marriage was to take place'he asked me not to come for the wedding but only asked to send Shiv'..
Gopal: why?
Ekta: he told me that he wanted to prove to me that Prateek was not suitable for his daughter'I was confused on what was going on his mind'.when he told me that he has set a trap for Prateek and knowing how selfish Prateek is'he was confident that his plan would succeed''I thought he was crazy'but at the same time I wanted Alokji to realize that a person maybe be selfish, greedy or self centered'but when it comes to love'everything takes a backseat'that's why I decided to send you to the wedding'.but Shiv'I couldn't believe it when I got to know that he left Gauri just for a business deal! At that point I understood Alok babu's concern'n that's why I remained quiet about the incident'but Shiv I had no hand in any plans'other than sending you there'.Shiv you tell me'what wrong have I done? I knew one fact'that you would love her truly, madly and deeply'I was confident that your love would make her forget her sorrows'I knew that'n trust me I could see things progressing in the right direction'till Prateek returned'I didn't expect her to react in this manner'Shiv I'm so sorry'Please forgive me'.." she started crying'.
Shiv: Di'please don't ask for forgiveness'you always wanted the best for me'.
Gopal: But Shiv'what next? I mean Gauri'.
Shiv: I just want her to be happy'if her happiness is Prateek 'then he shall be hers'I don't want my Gauri to ever compromise on her life, her happiness or even her dreams'. N he went to his room.
Gopal: Mai! We can't sit quiet, we have to do something, right!
Ekta: Sab uski maya hai Gopal'.if God's put us in a problem'only he'll show us the way'u don't worry'I'm positive that Gauri will come back'.
