The sangeet night is over and the youngsters are chilling by the pool while the elders went ahead to their rooms
anika: ( emotionally) Thank you guys!! tum logon ne itna effort daal ke mera aun shivay ke sangeet ko brut zaada memorable bna diya...maine kabri expect nhn kiya tha ki itna acha sangeet hoga mera..
( thank you so much guys for putting in so much of effort for our sangeet... I had never expected my sangeet to be this fun)
Om/Rudy: ( consoling her) Arre!! bhabhi aap bhi kaisi choti choti baaton par thanks bolne lag gyi hain...ab aap bhi humare iss parivaar ka ek hissa hain toh yeh humara farz hai ki hum aapka welcome dhoom dhaam se karen...( What SIL!!! don't thank us for such petty issues..Anyhow you are a part of our family and it's our duty to welcome you with pomp and show)
anika ( smiling through her tears): acha baba nhn bolungi thanks!! but seriously muje bout maza aaya... ( ok fine i won't thank you guys now...But on a serious note i had a lot of fun tonight)
Rudy: waise bhabhi iss mehnat aur maze main aapki dono behno ka bui barabar ka haath tha.. ( By the way SIL your sisters were equivalently involved in tonight's functions)
Gauri/Bhavya: haan di bilkul sahi kaha rudy bhaiya/rudy ne...Humne infact zaada mehnat kari kyunki nko dance sikhaana bhi toh humaari he responsibilty thi na ( yes sister Rudy is right; infact we had to work a little harder in teaching them dance steps)
Shivay: ( taking them into a hug) thank you meri pyaari saaliyon ( thank you My Sister in laws)
omru: ( dramatically) Kya shivay/bhaiya saaliyan kya mili apne bhaiyon ko bhool gye...Bhool gye all for one and one for all... Rudy further says bhaiya aap toh abhi se he paraya dhan ho gye and earns a smack on his head from shivay.. ( what shivay/bro...You have forgotten your dear brothers because of your Sister in was...Not fair!!! Bro you have already become somebody else's asset)
Anika: omru tum log mere pass aajao...bhai nhn toh bhabhi he sahi.. ( come here Omru...You will have your Sister in law if not your bro)
gauri: (dramatically) di wo meri jagah hai...jaante ho na aap...aise kaise muse bina kahe de di apne wo jagah... aap toh shaadi ke pehle he bhool rahe ho muje ( di thats my place and right...How can you just give it to somebody without asking me...You are forgetting your chutki even before marriage)
Anika: aise kaise bhool rahi hun main tuje...Tu mere dil ka hissa hai...mere jeene ki wajah hai...main tuje kabhi nhn bhool sakti or teri jagah kabri koi nhn le sakta...aakhir khoon ka rishta hai humara...Hugs gauri and bhavya joins in... ( how is it possible that i forget you... I can never forget my little sister and nobody can ever take your place...You are a piece of my heart; the sole reason of my life... After all we have a blood relation)
Ek haazaron main plays in bg

Girls' room
gauri: di aaj aapko mehendi lagne wali hai jeeju ke naam ki...dekhna bout gehra rang aayega ( di today you will get Henna of my brother in law's name...The colour is going to be very dark)
bhavya: our iska matlab yeh hoga ki jeeju aapse bhut zaada pyaar karenge hamesha... (and this would mean that bRother in law would always love you a lot)
anika blushes
They start dressing up
Anika Gauri Bhavya
soon enough garima comes in...
garima: ( emotionally) haaye!!! kiting pyaari lag rahi hai meri bachi...kisi ki nazar na lage bachi ko and applies a black dot behind her ear ( Oh my god how lovely my daughter looks...May god protect he from all evil)
gauri: ( playfully) maasi nazar lagne ka toh pta ngn par haan kisi ki nazar toh zaroor ataki he rahegi di par aaj ( Aunt i don't about evil on di but i am sure somebody is going to be dumbfound seeing di today)
maasi: gauri beta aise nhn bolte!! yeh tumhari di ka sasuraal hai...kisine sun liya toh sochenge ki yeh ladkiyan kuch bhi bolti hain( gauri dear you shouldn't speak like this here; it's your sister's inlaws...They might think of you as a very blunt girl)
jhanvi who just entered and heard their conversation said : hum aisa kuch nhn sochenge behenji!! aap chinta mat kijiye aapki teeno betiyan he bhut pyaari hain...aur waise bhi insaan ko jo mann main ho usse bol dena chaheye... ( we will not think lowly of you...please don't worry all 3 daughters are lovely in their own way...And a human should always what is on his/her mind...)
garima: behenji yeh toh aapka badapan hai ( Dear that's your gratefulness )
jhanvi: chaliye ab hume chalna chaheye!!! mehendi ke liye sabah wait kar rahe hain... ( come let's move...everyone is waiting for us downstairs )
all 5 of them head out when jhanvi calls out gauri
gauri: ji aunty!! aapne hume roka kya hua?? sabah theek toh hai na ( yes aunty...is everything alright!! y did you stop me)
jhanvi: haan beta sap kuch theek hai...main bas tussen kuch kehna chahti hun (yes dear everything is alright!!! i just wanted to tell you something)
gauri: ji aunty kahiye na issme konsi poochne waali baat hai...aap humde badi hain hume jab chahe kuch bhi keh sakti hain ( Yes aunty say!!! there is nothing to take permission for this..You are elder to me so say anything you want with full right)
jhanvi: (caressing her face) bache!!! main tumse bas yehi kehna chahti hun ki tum jaisi ho waise he hamesha rehna...kabhi bhi kisi ke liye apne aap ko mat badalna...agar tumhe life main kisi se pyaar phi ho na fer bhi apne aap ko laghi mat bhoolna...( child!!! i just wanted to say that always stay how you are; don't ever try to change yourself for anybody; if ever you fall in love with somebody just don't forget yourself)
gauri: aunty!! aap yeh sab humse kyun keh rahi hain ( aunty why are you telling me such stuff)
jhanvi: bas aise he...abhi tumahri maasi keh rahi thi na issiliye!! ( Just like that..actually your aunt was talking about this topic so..)
gauri: thank you aunty!!! hum hamesha dhiyaan rakhenge...ab chalein neeche ( I will always take care..shall we move now)
jhanvi: kissing her forehead lovingly; ab chalo (now come)
downstairs; the mehendi ladies are sitting applying the mehendi to the bride and the other girls...while all the family members are busy singing the traditional songs on a dholki...
anika was getting her mehendi apples when the boys came in...Shivay winks to anika and she blushes. He comes near her and says beautiful making her turn all the more into a live tomato...
Mehendi girl (MG): kiska naam likhna hai haath pe?? ( whose name should i write)
anika was lost in shivay that she didn't hear the girl speaking
MG: madam!!! kiska naam likhna hai ( whose name)
anika: haa...haan kay hua?? poori hogyi kya ( yes what happened?? is it done)
MG: nhn madam..abhi nhn...Naam likhna hai abhi dulhe ka... ( not yet... we have to write the groom's name)
ton btaiye kay naam likhna hai ( so tell me what name)
anika ( whispering so that only MG hears it) : SHIVAY likh dijiye but please ache se chupa dena naam ko ( write Shivay but please hide it carefully)
daadi: billu idhaar aa mere paas..anika ko mehendi lagwaane de...Tuje baad main uski mehendi main apna naam ahi dhoondhna hai..cheating karne ki koshish mat kar ( Billu come here and sit with me...Let anika get her henna done...You will have to find your name in her henna then so don't try to cheat)
anika's mehendi
gaurs's mehendi
bhavya's mehendi
Omkara and rudra also join in shivay and daadi...
rudra: kya daadi!!! kitna boring function lag raha hai ...kuch toh acha organize karte ( What grandma...This is such a boring function you should have organised something fun)
daadi: chup kar khoteya!! yeh mehendi ka function aisa he hota hai...kyunki issme saari aurtein mehendi lagwati hain aur apne haaton main apne pati ya hone wale pati ka naam likhwaati hain. ( shut up you donkey! This henna function is supposed to be a subtle function because all the ladies are supposed to busy adorning their hands with the henna paste with their husband/ to be husband's name)
omkara who was listening quietly to all this is in thoughts listening to this...
POV
kya gauri ne bhi kisika naam apni mehendi main likhwaaya hga?? kya wo kisiko pasand karti hogi?? ( Would gauri have written somebody's name in her mehendi? Does she like anyone?) tension builds up within him thinking about what if gauri has written someone else's name ... Muje yeh soch kar ke he into gabrahat h rahi hai...lagta hai mom ki baat par sochna he theek hoga...Aur muze yeh phi pta lagana hoga ki gauri ki life main koi ladka hai ya nhn... ( I am so disturbed just by the thought of gauri writing someone else's name in her mehendi... I think it's time that i should about what mom said; also i need to find out if gauri has somone in her life or no)
rudy: O kahan kho gye ho aap??? ( O where are you lost)
shouts again while shaking him: O kya yaar bethe bethe kiske baare main soch rahe ho?? kahun meri hone wali bhabhi ke baare main toh nhn... ( O who are you thinking about?? Is it about my to be sister in law)
omkara samcks his head and says shut up rudra
rudra pouts and says dekho daadi kisiko value he nhn hai meri ( look grandma nobody values me)
daadi smiles at her grandsons lovingly...
Rudra moves to the dance floor and gets his friends to play some party songs...Soon enough he drags everyone towards the dance floor... While dragging bhavya
tumne kiske naam ki mehendi lagwaayi hai...( whose name did you put in your henna)
bhavya: aapse matlab?? ( what does that have to do with you)
rudra: main kehne waala tha ki mera name likhwa leti; aakhir tumhe main paand toh hounga he afterall iena handsome jo hun main...saari ladkiyan mujpe marti hain ( No i was about to tell you to write my name after all you might be crushing on me right??? after all i am the most handsome man you must have seen; All the girls are crazy for me)
bhavya ( irritated): samjhte kya hain aap apne aap ko?? hum nhn pasand karte aapko and na he kabhi karenge...wo kya hai aap na humare type ke nhn and starts to walkout leaving rudra shocked ( What do you think of yourself?? I don't like you and neither would i in the future because you are certainly not my type)
rudra: ( shocked) kya??? lagta hai tumhe apni aankhein test karta leni chahte...bhoodi hogyi hain tumahri aakhein ( what?? i think you should get your eyes tested...looks like they have aged)
bhavya: (piting him) aapko bardash nhn ho raha hai rejection...accept kar lijiye...aur apni flirting ke liye kii aur ko dhoondiye and winks at him while walking away ( I know you aren't able to bear the rejection but don't worry accept it and find somebody else for your flirting)
meanwhile shivika
shivay: tumhari mehendi ka design toh bahut he sundar hai ( your henna design is very pretty)
anika: haan...gauri ne passant kiya tha raat ko aur zidd kar raai thi ki main yehi lagaun ( gauri had chosen it last night and she insisted on me putting this)
shivay: manna padega...choice kaafi achi hai meri saali ki ( i have to agree that my SIL's choice is classy)
anika: ( emotionally)wo toh hai...aapko bhi usne he pasand kiya tha mere liye tur main uski marzi ke bina koi kaam non karti ( yes that is certainly true; She was the one to chose you for me; i don't do anything without her consent)
shivay: bahut pyaar karti ho na tum usse...ek kaam karte hain shaadi ke baad use hum tanin rok lenge humane pass ( You love her very much don't you?? we will make her stay back after our wedding)
anika: kaash aisa ho paata!!! uska college toh barelli main hai and already bahut miss hogya hai shaadi ki wajah se ( I wish!! But her college is in barely and she has already missed a lot of it due to the wedding)
shivay: ( thoughtfully)tum chinta mat karo...kuch sochte hain ( don't worry we will think something and come up with a solution)
waise tum dekhna tumhari mehendi ka rang bahut gehra hone waala hai...( you know your henna will be very dark)
anika blushes and says: gauri phi yahi key rahi thi aaj subeh...ki rang gehra aayega ( even gauri said the same)...
Rikara
om: gauri kya main tussen kuch keh sakta hun ( gauri can i say something to you)
gauri ignores om to teach him a lesson for being rude with her yesterday morning
om: gauri tum sun rahi ho kya??? (are you listening gauri)
Gauri keeps moving to tease him a little while om starts getting frustrated and suddenly sees her smirking to herself and understands that she has been intentionally ignoring him which angers him more...
they both come away from the main hall
om: ( stern) muze tumse baat karni hai and tum ho ki muse jaan ke ignore kar raai ho...( i need to speak to you and you have been ignoring me)
gauri: dekheye hume apaise koi baat nhn karni ( look i don't intend to speak to you)
om: kyun? maine aisa kya kiya ( why? what have i done)
gauri: humari marzi... ( my wish)
om gets angry and corners her and says kyun baat nhn karni hai tumhe ...koi toh reason hoga na?? btao muje ( Why don't you want to speak to me...there must be a reason to it tell me)
gauri gets angry: yeah he reason hai ki hume aapse baat nhn karni... hum koi khilona nhn hai ki jab aapka man hoga tabhi aapse baat karenge...kal subeh jab humne aapse poocha tha ki aap kahan gye the toh yaad hai na kaise nandi bail ki tarah behave kiya tha aapne ( this is the reason y i don't want speak to you... I am not a toy who you can talk to at your convenience...Remember how you behaved yesterday like a Nandi BULL)
om: ( confused) nandi bail?? yeh kon hai ( who is this nandi Bull)
gauri: humare bareilly main ek bail hai jo humesha gusse main he rehta hai ( there is a bull in my place who is always angry) our baat koi ghumaaiye mat...boliye yaad hai na aapka rude behaviour... ( don't try to change the topic; tell me you remember your rude behaviour right)
omkara ( explaining): yaar wo main ...main bas thoda irritated tha...toh gussa tumpar nikal gya ( actually i was a little irritated and i vented it all out on you)
I am sorry...he says
gauri: koi ehsaan kar rahe hain kya aap humpar sorry bolkar ( are you favoring me by apologizing)
omkara ( denying): nhn toh!! tughe aisa kyun laga ( Not at all! y did you feel so?)
gauri: itna rookha sookha sorry kon bolta hai...galti ki hai toh saza ahi toh bhugatani he padegi na ( Then y such a cold sorry?? You will be punished since you did a mistake)
omkara ( surprised): acha!! kya saza hai meri zara main ahi toh sunu... ( let me also hear what my punishment is going to be)
gauri: yeah!! sure...toh apki punishment yeh hai ki aapko mura banna padega ( so your punishment is that you have become a cock)
omkara ( shocked): kyaa?? ( imagines himself as a cock and shouts NOOO) nhn gauri...dekho kuch aasaam sa rakho please...mujse nhn bana jaega murga (what???? no gauri let's keep it simple please; i will not be able to become a cock)
gauri: chaliye theek hai fer aapko kaan pakad kar uthak bethak lagana padeg I AM SORRY GAURI bolte hue 10times... ( ok fine then you will have to do sit ups while saying I AM SORRY GAURI)
omkara: ( trying to negotiate) please yaar yeh kya bachpana hai gauri... ( what is this childishness gauri)
gauri: (irritated) dekheye!! agar aapko maaji chaheye toh yeh karna he padega non toh hum chalet hain andar...( LOOK!!! you will have to do this if you want to earn my forgiveness otherwise we shall make a move)
omkara ( defeated): acha theek hai...ab aur gussa mat ho...karta hun na main ( ok fine...don't be angry now...I will do it)
and Omkara starts doing sit ups while saying I AM SORRY GAURI and finally she forgives him...
om: ab khush ( now happy)
gauri: bahut ( very much)...acha aap humse kuch kehna chahte the na ??? ( you wanted to speak to me right)
om: haan wo main tumse poochna Chahta tha ki kya tum mujse dosti karogi?? ( Yeah i wanted to ask you if you will befriend me??)
gauri: ( excitedly) haan zaroor!! par aapko hume painting sikhaani padegi...( sure ...but you will have to teach me painting)
omkara forwards his hand and says sure...and gauri joins her hand with his marking the start of their friendship...
