RECAP: the family go out to dinner and mukti starts to feel jealous
Sharman helped Mukti into her seat and Prem helped Pragati into hers. This Mukti saw and burned red with ANGER, but held it back as she didn't want to be embarrassed. Sneha and Anurag saw this and showed a thumbs up to each other. Sharman saw this too, thinking that he really needed to talk with his best friend after dinner. They ordered their food and drinks. Then they started to talk. Mukti kept on looking at Prem and Pragati who were continuously talking and laughing. She felt herself burning up and excused herself to get some fresh air. Sharman followed her.
Mukti was standing outside by the fountain.
Sharman saw her and walked up to her. Mukti feels his presence and turns around finding him by her side.
S: kya howa dost?
M: kuch bhi to nahin bas aise hi, i felt really hot inside. needed some fresh air.
S: baat woh nahin hain, i know. Mukti, you can lie to everyone else but you can't lie to me. I've known you since we were in pre-school. Cummon tell me, baat kya hain?
M: ok you caught me
S: i know i always do, anyway off topic, wht happen? why did you leave? tell me the truth.
M: fine. you remember me telling you in the car on the way here, that what sneha had said about Prem and Pragati going out.
S: yeah....
M: well i was thinking about that. and to tell the truth i dunno why but i feel really jealous somehow. I can't see him with anyone else. He told me just yesterday that he loves me.
Me......the one person who i thought he will never fall in love with. In the car i was thinking that maybe it was just a false. He wasn't in love with me at all. He just
thought that he did. But know when i cum to think of it, i dnt know why, but i feel really really jealous of them 2. I mean you saw them 2, they were really hitting it off back there. I felt like hitting that pragati and saying that she can't have him (prem). I feel really confused sharu. Really confused.
S: babes, you remember what i said 2 you, "when in confusion/doubt, always listen to ur heart" and you will get your answer. ask your heart of how you feel for him and you will get ur answer.
M: kay kay now can we go back in. I mean i starting to feel really cold now.
S: here put me jacket on. Hold on a minute, why don't we go out for a family outing. Anurag uncle's family, my family and Choti mausi's family. Go to the country side, like how we used to when we were kidz.
M: yeah ok, that will be nice. get my mind cleaned out.
They go back inside. Prem saw them coming in and he saw Sharman's jacket on Mukti. He felt and an URGE to punch sharman rite now. All the times when he wanted to be with mukti, sharman had to come and take it away from him.
S: ma, i was thinking of something. Y dnt we all go out for a family outing. Mukti nt feeling good rite now so i want her to get better and the only place that will make her feel better is her favorite place: the countryside!
BM: yh okay, Mukti beta wht's wrong?
M: nothing mom, just dnt feel good and i wanna have a nice family outing be4 going to America one last time.
Prem saddened at that. He had totally 4gotten about Mukti going to America 4 Uni. Oh how he wished that he hadn't said anything about letting her go. He just wished that he hadn't said anything at ALL!
M: kya howa prem? you don't wanna cum?
P: nahin aise koi baat nahin hain, i was just thinking if Pragati could come along? mom can she?
Mukti saddened at that. She had expected Prem to becum sad coz she had said that she was gonna go America.

Everyone: bye
Mukti and sharman & the rest of the Wadhwa's leave to go Wadhwa's house while evryone was thinking about Mukti. They had all 4gotten that she was gonna go to America in 2 wks time.
Sneha looked at prem who was looking upset. She showed Prem to Anurag and Prena. Anurag walked over to his son
A: kya howa beta?
P: nothing dad its just that i totally 4gt that she was gonna go to America.
A: huh beta, we all did.
P: oh ok. I think we gt caught up in the plan that we 4gt.
S: yh that's true.
Pr: let's 4get bout all this now, we go home and we have packing yo do. Pragati beta, y dnt u stay at out house instead of us coming to pick you up.
Pra: tekhe aunty.
They all go home and put the alarm clock for 4:00 am in the morning as they had to wake up early. After finishing packing, they all go to bed.
NEXT MORNING:
Everyone woke up earlier than usual. They were bustling about here and there. In Bajaj house, prem was getting ready wht with his mom shouting hi name.
Pr: prem prem ,come down now! you need to have breakfast!
P: coming mom i'm coming
In Basu house, Anurag's mom was doing pooja and anurag was shouting her name to hurry up as they had to leave to go to Bajaj house.
Meanwhile in wadhwa house, evryone was getting in the cars ready to take off. Sumit, kumkum, dadaji and dadima (sumits parents) were in one car and the kids of the house (sharman, dhruv, aashika, mukti and siya) were in another.
All 3 families had agreed to meet up at Bajaj house so all were in their cars (apart 4rm Bajaj family) and were off to Bajaj residence.
They met and came out of their cars 2 greet each other. When prem came out of the house to greet his dad, the first thing he set eyes on was Mukti. She was dressed in a black track suit. Kidz 4rm the Wadhwa's house he (prem) saw were dressed in trackies. Sharman was in a navy blue, Dhruv was in a white trackie (with blue bottoms), Siya in a light blue trackie and Aashika in a pink trackie
(mukti's trackie)
(sharman trackie)
(dhruv's trackie)
(siya's trackie)
(aashika's trackie)
He greeted them and they greeted him back. Then all were ready to get going. So they all left in their cars. On the way in sharman's car, they were playing antakshari. Starting first with Siya and lastly Sharman.
They reached there eventually after a whole load of traffic and road works during the journey. All 3 families had owned their own cabin, since they had always come there for either on business deals or for a holiday. No holiday was complete wivout Mukti. Each family (Basu, Bajaj or Wadhwa) would take her for a holiday making sure she had the best time ever!
Since Mukti was staying with the Wadhwa's this time, she went in2 Wadhwa cabin and began unpacking straight away. She was really tired out and straight away she fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Prena started to call for her since it was lunch time. Mukti wasn't answering so she sent Prem to go and fetch her. Prem entered Mukti's room and found that she was sound asleep. He went up2 her to go and wake her up, but he cldn't bring himself upto doing it. She was there sleeping peacefully and he didn't want to disturb her. Mukti smiled in her sleep and Prem saw it. He smiled too. Just then sharman entered the room and found Prem and Mukti sitting on the bed (well just prem since Mukti was sleepin). He went upto them and tld prem:
S: you knw she has to wake up or she ain't gonna be able to sleep at night.
P: really
Sharman nodded
P: okay uhhhhhh Mukti Mukti wake up
S: nt like that, here like this.
He took a glass of water that was on the bed-side cabinet and dipped his hand into it. Prem saw what he was about to do. Sharman took his hand out and splashed the water on her face. Mukti woke up with a start and saw 2 guys staring. One was just looking at her while the other was laughing. She got angry.
M: janu wht u do dat 4?
S: oh sorry, its just you were smiling in ur sleep and cldn't be bovered waking up when we called ya 4 lunch. babes you know tht u cnt sleep when in the night if u sleep during the day time.
M: yh i knw but that car journey was tiring me out.
S: u feel tired. I was the 1 that was driving all the way and i nt feeling tired
M: well that's you.
S: ok cummon enough chit chat, we have to go 4 lunch or choti mausi is gonna kill us.
M: ok but lemme get change first. I want to freshen up.
S: okay babes. cummon prem lets go. MADAM needs to change.
M: shut up janu
They left and once he was outside again prem felt like killing sharman.He was really angry now😡. This was just getting toooooo much now. First she went ova to his house to stay nt even giving an answer to him after expressing his feeling to her, him (sharman) calling Mukti babes, honey and all the other names he was always calling her, taking her out in his car here and there, always coming in between them whenever they were having a moment. He had to put a stop to this once and 4 all. That's it, once he and Mukti were 2gether, there was no way that Sharman would be coming anywhere near her and that was final! Mukti came out from her room and walked over to sharman. Prem hadn't noticed her since his back was face towards her and he was lost in his own thoughts. He walked out only to find a sight he didn not want to see. Mukti was there laughing away with Sharman. She had changed into a red sari. He really felt like punching Sharman right now but he held back. He didn't want to create a scene and he didn't want his mother to get the danda and come and hit him one and if she did then he will become 🤢
After lunch they began just to sit and chat. Nightfall came and Sneha wanted to play "TRUTH or DARE". Everyone agreed and they made a campfire. Each having their turn and each either doing a dare or speaking the truth. Then it was Mukti's turn. She chose a DARE. Sneha said that she had to go into the forest and spend a whole night there. Prena & Kumkum was totally against the idea but Mukti reassured them saying that she will be fine. Sneha then said that some-one had to go with her. Mukti chose Sharman, he agreed and was about to go when Kumkum stopped him. Prena then said that Prem could go. Prem agreed instantly and lip-synced a thank you to his mom to which she just smiled. They went in the forest and went in deep.
While they were walking, Mukti tripped over a tree root, but prem held her to safety. They both started to stare in each others eyes. Luckily that Sharman wasn't here to break this moment prem thought. Mukti broke the moment and continued walking. Prem was behind her and started to smile. He walked upto her. It started to rain, they saw a cottage nearby. They ran to it and ran inside. Mukti began drying her hair. Prem saw her, she looked really HOT when she was drenched. He put his hand out gesturing for a dance. Mukti looked at him strangely. he signalled "wanna dance". He let his hand out once again and she took it. He pulled her into a swing and held her by the waist with both hands. They started to dance. He swung her around. They started to dance and he was holding her firmly, not wanting 2 let go. She held him round the neck desperate for him not wanting to let him go at all. He twisted her around and then started to move his finger down her neck and her shoulder. (guys just imagine prem and mukti in place of SRK and Kajol in KKHH doing the gazebo dance). She gasped. he heard her and smiled.
P: mukti, why don't you just admit?
Mukti was silent.
P: admit it go on, admit it that you love me too. go on mukti, say it
M: prem..........
P: go on mukti say it
Mukti didn't know what to say, so she left from there and ran for it. Prem didn't want her to go. Now he knew that she DID love him. Mukti was running through the trees and finally coming to a stop at a tree. She gasped for breath.
M: i love you, i love you, i love you so much
Someone put her hand round her neck and turned her around. Mukti face the person
P- Person
P: hey, i love you too
Mukti stood there shocked.
Who was it? Who did Mukti say "I love you" to? Was it Prem or the person standing infront of her?
Stay tuned to find out
