Abhi : nothing I am not sleepy, what are you doing here at this time

Purab : I was going to kitchen to get water, bhai I wanted to ask you from long time about Tanu, I mean do you like her

Abhi : what does it matter, when you and I both know dad will never accept this relation

Purab : but bro, she might be from middle class family, as far as I know her she is very modern and today's generation girl

Abhi ; its not that easy Purab, we are very different, our lifestyles, background and I don't think Tanu will be able adjust in this house

Purab : I am sure she will, she has that capability, and you also wanted that type of girl right who could understand your workload and give in the time your spare time

Abhi : I know she is right girl for me but not this family, and dad too wants the daughter in law who can easily adjust in this family and who is able to understand the rules for this family

Purab : you are over thinking Abhi, nothing like that will happen and Tanu is smart and sensible, she will make her place in this house

Abhi : I guess you are right, but before giving any commitment to Tanu I want to know dad's opinion, and we don't know whats in Tanu's mind right now

Purab ; you leave that to me, you just talk to dad soon alright

Abhi : okay now you go, its too late, you have to leave for airport tomorrow right

Purab : oh yea I completely forgot about that I have to go for conference tomorrow, good night brother

Abhi : good night

Prakash : go ahead I am listening

Pragya : remember you told me that you want a guy for me who will love and respect me and I said I want that person to be like you and I found him dad, prince of my dream who will whisk me away in fairytale

Prakash : you took in reality the fairytales your mom told you all in childhood, dear its real life

Pragya : I know dad but he is the person I was waiting whole life

Prakash : who is he? (Says with seriousness)

Pragya : his name is Rajiv

Prakash : what does he do? is he well to do?

Pragya : actually dad, he is from a middle class family but he is very ambitious, he got a very good job in London and soon will get promotion in his job, he is a newspaper editor

Prakash gets in thinking after hearing his daughter's words. Though he never refused his children for anything he would not want them to do anything wrong

Pragya : what happened dad?

Prakash : Pragya, me and your mom always gave you all three freedom you wanted so you can cope up with this world, and you all never misused that freedom so I want to meet that boy before deciding anything

Pragya : really dad? (Says excitedly)

Prakash : but only on one condition, I have kept honor of your words now you too have to keep our honor, if I find anything wrong in that guy I will not let you marry him and you have to respect our decision

Pragya : I promise dad, I will never go against you and keep the honor of this family (puts hands on his)

Rakesh : that girl's name is Tanushree Agarwal

Abhi's coffee slips from mouth hearing the name

Arpita : is that girl working in our office, Abhi's personal assistant

Rakesh : yes you are right, Abhi what do you think, final decision would be yours

Abhi : whatever you say dad

Purab : wow bro, you are so lucky, that dad is agreeing to your relationship

Rakesh : I can hear everything

Arpita : but how did you agree to this knowing Tanu's background

Rakesh : because my son loves her, and if I cannot do a small thing for him what is the use of this prestige

Abhi is delighted to hear his dad's words and goes to seek his blessing

Rakesh (makes him stand up): Abhi, so what if I don't talk to you about your personal life but I can read your eyes and mind but you have to promise me something today

Abhi : yes dad, anything for you, I didn't expected that you could agree to make Tanu daughter in law of this house

Rakesh : I know in past I had another perception about middle class people but I always want happiness for my family Abhi so you have to make a promise that you will not let the honor of this family let down at any cost

Abhi : I promise you dad no matter what I will never put this family's honor at stake

Arpita : fine then lets call her family and meet them once

Purab : she only has a elder brother who is Abhi's best friend
