KN Sirav Sidmara Pranak FF: Yaadein

Scene 1 — The Zaveri Mansion, London

The enormous Zaveri mansion was buzzing with activity. Kanti Zaveri was on a business call while his wife, Smita, prepared for yet another corporate event.

Raunak entered the living room, carrying his laptop bag.

Kanti: Raunak! Good, you're here. Come with me to the office. Please meet the new directors.

Raunak: Dad, I told you. I'm not joining the family business.

Kanti: How long are you going to keep saying that?

Raunak: As long as you keep asking me.

Smita sighed.

Smita: Your father has built all this for you.

Raunak: I know, Mom. And I'm grateful. But this isn't what I want.

Kanti: Then what exactly do you want?

Raunak smiled.

Raunak: I want to build something of my own.

He turned his laptop around.

Raunak: I've launched my website.

Smita: Website?

Raunak: A platform where people can find friends, connect with like-minded people and, if they're lucky, even find their perfect match.

Kanti stared at him.

Kanti: You're leaving a billion-pound business to become a matchmaker?

Raunak: Technically, I'm a digital entrepreneur.

Kanti: Same thing.

Raunak laughed.

Raunak: You'll see, Dad. One day this little website will be bigger than your company.

Kanti: Never.

Raunak: Challenge accepted.

Scene 2 — Karan and Nandini's Home

Across London, Karan Virani sat in the garden with his wife Nandini and their three daughters.

Simar, the eldest, was helping Nandini arrange flowers.

Samaira was scrolling through her phone.

Prarthana, the youngest, was eating cake.

Suddenly, Raunak walked through the gate.

Prarthana: Raunak!

She immediately ran toward him.

Raunak: There she is! My favorite little sister!

Samaira: Little sister? She's taller than you now.

Prarthana: Don't listen to her.

Simar: Raunak, you're late.

Raunak: Sorry, Simar. I was busy saving London's single population.

Samaira: Oh no. Not your matchmaking business again.

Raunak: Don't mock me. It's going extremely well.

Karan smiled from his chair.

Karan: Let him be, girls. At least he's doing something he loves.

Raunak went over and hugged Karan.

Raunak: See, Uncle understands me.

Nandini smiled.

Nandini: Your father understands you too. He doesn't know how to show it.

Raunak's smile faded slightly.

Karan: You know you're always welcome here.

Raunak looked at him affectionately.

Raunak: That's why this place feels like home.

Nandini gently touched his cheek.

Nandini: Because you are family.

Prarthana grinned.

Prarthana: More than family.

Raunak: Exactly.

Karan, Nandini, Simar, Samaira, Prarthana, and Raunak had a family dance and enjoyed it.

Scene 3 — Raunak Meets Aarav

One evening, Raunak was working at his office when his college friend Aarav walked in.

Aarav: Mr. Great Matchmaker!

Raunak: Aarav!

They shook hands and hugged.

Raunak: Where have you been?

Aarav: Working. Unlike you, some of us have real jobs.

Raunak: My business is real.

Aarav: Finding girlfriends for strangers isn't a business.

Raunak: It's called helping people find love.

Aarav laughed.

Aarav: You haven't changed at all.

Raunak suddenly became serious.

Raunak: Neither have you. Still single?

Aarav: Unfortunately.

Raunak: Then you've come to the right place.

Aarav: Absolutely not.

Raunak: I already have someone in mind.

Aarav stared at him.

Aarav: No.

Raunak: You don't even know who it is.

Aarav: That's exactly why I'm saying no.

Raunak smiled mischievously.

Raunak: Simar.

Aarav froze.

Aarav: Simar?

Raunak: My father's friend's daughter.

Aarav: Karan Uncle's eldest daughter?

Raunak: Yes.

Aarav became thoughtful.

Aarav: She's... different.

Raunak: Different how?

Aarav: She's intelligent. Kind. Mature.

Raunak raised an eyebrow.

Raunak: And beautiful?

Aarav smiled.

Aarav: Very.

Raunak: I knew it!

Aarav: But does she even know about this?

Raunak: Not yet.

Aarav: Then don't tell her.

Raunak: Why?

Aarav: Because if she finds out that you're trying to play matchmaker, she'll kill you.

Raunak laughed.

Raunak: You're right.

Scene 4 — Raunak Talks to Karan and Nandini

The next day, Raunak found Simar sitting alone in the garden.

Raunak: Can I ask you something?

Karan: Of course, yes.

Raunak: Have you thought about your daughters' marriage?

Karan: Yes, I do think about their marriage like any other parent. However, you know how difficult it is to get the right partner.

Raunak: That's why I am here.

He showed his family the website. Raunak said, "This is Aarav, my college friend. He is a developer, runs his own company, and is interested in your eldest daughter, Simar."

Karan: That's wonderful! Nandini, what do you say?

Nandini: Yes, it's a good proposal, but it depends on Simar. If she says yes, we can proceed.

Raunak: Of course, Simar's views do matter, as it's the question of her entire life.

The conversation happened in front of the family.

Nandini asked, "Simar, have you thought about your marriage?"

Simar smiled.

Raunak: His name is Aarav.

Simar smiled.

Simar: I heard about Aarav.

Raunak: Good things, I hope.

Simar: Mostly.

Raunak: Then meet him.

Simar thought for a moment.

Simar: As friends?

Raunak: Start there.

Simar: And if I don't like him?

Raunak: Then I'll personally apologize to both of you.

Simar laughed.

Simar: You really think you're Cupid, don't you?

Raunak: No.

He smiled.

Raunak: I think I'm better.

Raunak turned on his computer again and searched for Samaira's match through predictive analysis.

He said, "This is Parag; he is my other friend who settled in the UK. He is a stakeholder in the real estate business and is quite well off."

However, Samaira was uninterested as she loved Sid deeply.

Karan said, "Let's keep it on hold. Proceed with Prarthana."

Raunak checked for Prarthana's match but found himself. However, he said, "I think Prarthana's time is yet to come. First, let the two girls get married; then we will look for Prarthana.

Raunak then said, "See you."

Karan and Nandini called their daughters and said, "If you have any concerns, we can discuss."

They asked Simar, "Do you have anyone else in mind?"

Simar: No, I don't. Aarav seems impressive, but I would like to meet him so I can understand him before proceeding with the relationship.

Nandini: Fair enough.

They asked Samaira, "What do you think about Parag?"

Samaira: How can I commit without knowing anything about him?

Karan: Do you want to meet him?

Samaira: I'm sorry, but I am not interested.

They asked Prarthana the same question.

Prarthana: Love stories look good only in movies and fairy tales. Not in real life.

Karan said, "I am happy with your honesty. Aarav could be a possible match for Simar. Samaira and Prarthana, I respect your decision. You guys are free to choose your partners, but remember one thing: In Indian society, marriage isn't limited to a couple, but it joins both families. So, if you guys happen to like someone, I will check their background before giving a positive nod."

Prarthana: Fair enough.

However, Samaira felt insecure as Karan was always strict with them.

Nandini said, "Samaira, I want to speak to you."

Both went inside Samaira's room.

Nandini: I could sense that you love someone else, but you can't say it. Don't worry, you can share your feelings with me.

Samaira: I love Sid, but I don't know how to tell the family.

Nandini: What is he doing?

Samaira: Sid is my college friend. We have been in love for five years. He runs a family business.

Nandini: Who are his parents?

Samaira: His father's name is Subhash. His birth mother has passed away. Tripti is his stepmother.

Nandini is shocked, but she is in a dilemma.

Nandini: Yes, I know that lady. She scammed us in our business. We planned to partner with Raunak's father and invest the amount, but we no longer have funds available. That's why we have kept his offer on hold. However, if Sid and Subhash are good, it should be manageable. I'll speak to your Dad."

Nandini and Samaira hug each other.

Scene 5 — Simar and Aarav's First Meeting

Raunak helped Karan and Nandini arrange a family dinner.

Aarav arrived.

Karan welcomed him warmly.

Karan: So you're Aarav. Raunak has told us a lot about you.

Aarav: Hopefully nothing embarrassing.

Prarthana: Don't worry. He saves the embarrassing stories for family.

Everyone laughed.

Simar entered the room.

Aarav looked at her.

For a moment, neither spoke.

Raunak noticed the silence and smiled.

Raunak: Simar, this is Aarav.

Simar: We've met before.

Aarav: Yes.

Raunak: Wonderful. Saves me an introduction.

Simar gave Raunak a suspicious look.

Simar: You planned this, didn't you?

Raunak: Me? Never.

Prarthana whispered to Samaira.

Prarthana: He's lying.

Samaira: Obviously.

Aarav and Simar both laughed.

Scene 6 — Raunak's Plan Works

Over the following weeks, Raunak kept finding excuses for Simar and Aarav to spend time together.

A Growing Friendship

A few weeks had passed since Raunak introduced Aarav to Simar.

At first, they met mostly because of Raunak. But slowly, Simar and Aarav began seeking each other's company even when Raunak wasn't around.

One evening, Simar was sitting in the garden reading a book. Aarav walked in.

Aarav: Still reading?

Simar: Still disturbing?

Aarav: I was going to say hello.

Simar: You can say hello.

Aarav: Hello.

Simar smiled.

Simar: Hello.

Aarav sat beside her.

Aarav: What are you reading?

Simar: A novel.

Aarav: Is it good?

Simar: Very.

Aarav: What's it about?

Simar closed the book.

Simar: Two people who become friends and slowly realize they're meant to be together.

Aarav looked at her.

Aarav: Sounds interesting.

Simar: It is.

There was a small silence.

Aarav: Do you believe in that?

Simar: In what?

Aarav: That two people can meet by chance and eventually become important to each other?

Simar smiled softly.

Simar: I think some meetings aren't accidents.

Their eyes met.

Neither said anything.

Aarav Begins to Realize

One rainy afternoon, Simar was walking outside without an umbrella.

Aarav suddenly appeared beside her and held his umbrella over both of them.

Simar: Aarav! What are you doing?

Aarav: Saving you from the rain.

Simar: I could have managed.

Aarav: I know.

He smiled.

Aarav: But I wanted to be here.

Simar looked at him.

Simar: You always do this.

Aarav: Do what?

Simar: Somehow appear whenever I need you.

Aarav's smile faded into something softer.

Aarav: Maybe because I like being around you.

Simar became shy.

They continued walking together. The umbrella flew away.

They shared a romantic eye lock in the rain.

Later that night, Aarav sat alone in his room, thinking about her.

He smiled to himself.

Aarav: When did this happen?

He realized the truth.

Aarav: I love her.

Simar Realizes Her Feelings

The next day, Simar was talking to Prarthana.

Prarthana: Didi, can I ask you something?

Simar: What?

Prarthana: Why do you smile every time Aarav's name comes up?

Simar immediately stopped smiling.

Simar: I don't.

Prarthana: You do.

Simar: He's Raunak's friend.

Prarthana: Only Raunak's friend?

Simar looked away.

Prarthana grinned.

Prarthana: You love him.

Simar: Prarthana!

Prarthana: You do!

Simar finally smiled.

Simar: Maybe.

Prarthana hugged her.

Prarthana: I knew it!

Simar whispered:

Simar: I don't know when it happened. Somewhere along the way, Aarav became the person I look for in every room.

The Family Dinner

That evening, everyone was having dinner.

Raunak noticed that Aarav and Simar kept exchanging shy glances.

Raunak: Why are you two so quiet tonight?

Simar: We're eating.

Raunak: You normally talk while eating.

Aarav: Maybe we're just tired.

Raunak looked suspiciously at them.

Raunak: Hmm.

Prarthana secretly smiled.

Karan noticed it too.

After dinner, Aarav offered to walk Simar home, even though they were already at Karan's house.

Simar: Home is literally inside this house.

Aarav: I know.

Simar: Then?

Aarav: I'd like a few more minutes with you.

Simar smiled.

Simar: Okay.

They walked into the garden.

Aarav's Confession

The garden was quiet.

Aarav stopped walking.

Simar: What happened?

Aarav: Simar, I want to tell you something.

She became nervous.

Simar: What?

Aarav took a breath.

Aarav: When Raunak first introduced us, I thought you were just his sister.

Simar smiled.

Aarav: Then you became my friend.

He looked into her eyes.

Aarav: Then you became the person I wanted to talk to every day.

Simar's eyes filled with emotion.

Aarav: I started looking forward to seeing you. I started worrying when you were upset. I started smiling whenever you smiled.

He gently took her hand.

Aarav: And then I realized something.

A pause.

Aarav gave her a flower and said: I fell in love with you, Simar.

Simar couldn't stop smiling.

Simar: Aarav...

Aarav: I don't expect you to say anything right now. I just needed you to know.

Simar shook her head.

Simar: You really are foolish.

Aarav looked worried.

Aarav: Why?

She stepped closer.

Simar: Because you took so long to tell me.

Aarav stared at her.

Aarav: What?

Simar smiled through her tears.

Simar: I love you too.

Aarav's face lit up.

Aarav: Really?

Simar: Really.

Aarav: Since when?

Simar: I don't know.

She laughed softly.

Simar: Maybe since the day I realized that whenever something happened, good or bad, you were the first person I wanted to tell.

Aarav squeezed her hand.

Aarav: So we're really together?

Simar: Yes.

Aarav: I can't believe it.

Simar: Neither can I.

They smiled at each other.

Just then, they heard a voice behind them.

Raunak: Finally!

They turned around.

Raunak was standing there with Prarthana and Samaira.

Simar: You were spying on us?

Raunak: Spying? No. I was waiting for my matchmaking masterpiece to succeed.

Aarav: You knew?

Raunak: Of course I knew.

Prarthana hugged Simar.

Prarthana: Welcome to the love club!

Raunak hugged Aarav.

Raunak: College friend to brother-in-law. Not bad!

Everyone laughed as Simar and Aarav looked at each other lovingly.

One evening, Simar confronted him.

Simar: You knew this would happen.

Raunak: Knew what?

Simar: That Aarav and I have fallen in love.

Raunak's face lit up.

Raunak: I knew it!

Simar: Don't look so proud.

Raunak: I'm a genius.

Simar: You're impossible.

Raunak: But I'm right.

Aarav walked toward them.

Aarav: What's going on?

Simar: Your friend is taking credit for our relationship.

Aarav: He deserves some credit.

Raunak placed his hands on his hips.

Raunak: Finally! Someone appreciates my talent.

Aarav smiled.

Aarav: Thank you, Raunak.

Raunak hugged him.

Raunak: Welcome to the family, brother.

Simar smiled warmly.

From a distance, Karan and Nandini watched the three of them.

Nandini: Raunak has always been like this.

Karan: He brings people together.

Nandini nodded.

Nandini: And perhaps one day, someone will bring him together with the person meant for him.

Karan smiled.

Karan: Maybe.

He looked toward Raunak.

Karan: Until then, he has us.

Raunak turned toward them and smiled.

Raunak: And I have the best family in London.

The family gathered together, laughing.

But none of them knew that Raunak's own love story was still waiting to begin.

Chapter 2 - Love, Marriage and Broken Dreams

Simar and Aarav got married.

They all danced at the event.

The Virani home in London had become even livelier after Simar and Aarav's marriage.

Simar was happy. Aarav adored her, and their relationship was filled with little moments that made everyone smile.

Meanwhile, Samaira had fallen deeply in love with Siddharth-Sid, despite Karan's reservations about their very different family backgrounds and values.

And the youngest daughter, Prarthana, remained firmly convinced that love was nothing but trouble.

Scene 1 - Simar and Aarav's Morning

Aarav is standing beside Simar with a cup of tea.

Simar: Aarav... what are you doing?

Aarav: Bringing tea for my wife.

Simar: Since when did you become so romantic?

Aarav: Since I married you.

He handed her the cup.

Simar: You made it yourself?

Aarav: Yes.

She took one sip and immediately made a face.

Simar: Aarav!

Aarav: What?

Simar: You forgot the sugar!

Aarav: I was trying to make it healthy.

Simar: Healthy?

She laughed.

Simar: This is not tea. This is punishment.

Aarav laughed and took the cup back.

Aarav: Fine. I'll make another one.

Simar: I'll come with you.

She followed him into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

Aarav smiled.

Aarav: What happened?

Simar: Nothing.

Aarav: Then why are you hugging me?

Simar: Because you're my husband. I'm allowed.

He turned around and smiled at her.

Aarav: You know what?

Simar: What?

Aarav: I still can't believe you're actually my wife.

Simar rested her head against his shoulder.

Simar: And I still can't believe Raunak actually managed to get us together.

Aarav: We owe him a lot.

Simar: Yes.

She smiled.

Simar: But don't tell him that. His ego is already too big.

They both burst out laughing.

Scene 2 - Samaira and Sid

Samaira was sitting in a café with Siddharth.

Sid: Samaira, I have something to tell you.

Samaira: That sounds serious.

Sid: I got a job offer.

Samaira's face lit up.

Samaira: Sid! That's wonderful! But tell me one thing: when you have a family business, why are you taking up a job?

Sid: I want to gain some work experience before joining the family business.

Samaira: Is the work location in London?

Sid: No, it's in Mumbai.

Samaira became thoughtful.

Samaira: You really want this job?

Sid: More than anything. But I don't want to leave you.

She took his hand.

Samaira: I don't care where you go. I care that we stay together.

Sid smiled.

Sid: I love you.

Samaira: I love you too.

He gently squeezed her hand.

Sid: But I don't know whether your papa would agree.

Samaira sighed.

Samaira: Papa is cautious about the family backgrounds. I spoke to my mother. I told her about your family background. She told me that your stepmother is the main concern, as she looted our wealth by scamming us.

Sid: I understand your concern about your parents. As for my stepmom, I know her past, but she isn't the same as before.

Samaira: Maybe.

She looked at him.

Samaira: But love isn't about how much money your family has.

Sid smiled.

Sid: Then marry me.

Samaira stared at him.

Samaira: Are you serious?

Sid: Completely.

She smiled through happy tears.

Samaira: Yes.

Scene 3 - Karan's Warning

Nandini met Karan and said, "I spoke to Samaira and asked her about her feelings. She opened up to me and told me about the family background. The latest development is that Sid took a job because he wants to gain experience before taking over the family business. Subhash is his father, and Tripti is his stepmom.

Karan: Is it the same Tripti who cheated us?

Nandini: Yes, but I feel that for her happiness, we need to invite Sid for tea.

Karan: That's not a big deal, but I can't forget how Tripti cheated us. I know Subhash and his late wife. When Tripti cheated us, she was single. She married Subhash for money by manipulating him. Subhash and I were partners. We planned to merge with Raunak's father, but we couldn't. It's all because of Tripti. Moreover, Subhash doesn't have the guts to go against her. We can't proceed with that relationship.

Samaira came home. Karan confronted Samaira.

Karan: Samaira, I'm not against your happiness.

Samaira: Then why are you against Sid?

Karan: Because I know how different your families are. You have grown up with completely different values. That's still not a problem, but his stepmom is a problem and is very much controlling. She is the one who cheated us financially.

Samaira: People change with time.

Karan: Women like Tripti can never change. Also, marriage isn't just about two people loving each other.

Samaira: I know.

Karan: Then think carefully.

Samaira became emotional.

Samaira: Papa, I've thought about it.

Karan: And?

Samaira: I love Sid. I'm going to marry him.

Karan looked deeply disappointed.

Karan: I only hope you don't regret this decision.

Nandini quietly watched them.

Scene 4 - Prarthana and Raunak

Later, Prarthana found Raunak sitting in the garden.

Prarthana: You're unusually quiet.

Raunak: I'm thinking.

Prarthana: That's dangerous.

Raunak laughed.

Raunak: Very funny.

She sat beside him.

Prarthana: About Samaira?

Raunak: Yes.

Prarthana: Everyone keeps talking about love, marriage, and relationships.

Raunak: And you?

Prarthana: I don't believe in love.

Raunak looked at her.

Raunak: Why?

Prarthana: Because love makes people stupid, as they lose themselves only to get heartbroken.

Raunak: That's not true in all cases.

Prarthana: Look at Samaira.

Raunak: She looks happy.

Prarthana: For now.

Raunak smiled.

Raunak: One day you'll fall in love.

Prarthana: Never.

Raunak: Never?

Prarthana: Never.

Raunak held out his hand.

Raunak: Deal.

She shook it.

Prarthana: Deal.

Raunak smiled mischievously.

Raunak: I'll remember that.

Scene 5 - Samaira Marries Sid

Despite Karan's concerns, Samaira and Sid got married.

Karan and Nandini met every demand from Sid's family, hoping their daughter would be treated with love and respect.

After the wedding, Samaira left her parents' home with tears in her eyes.

Karan hugged her tightly.

Karan: If you ever need me, I'm here.

Samaira: I know, Papa.

Karan: Always.

Sid promised him:

Sid: Uncle, I'll take care of her.

Karan nodded, though his heart remained uneasy.

Scene 6 - Life at Sid's House

The happiness did not last.

Sid's stepmom constantly taunted Samaira.

Mother-in-law Tripti: Your parents gave so much, yet you still don't know how to run a household.

Samaira: I'm trying.

Sister-in-law: Trying isn't enough.

Another day-

Tripti: You grew up in such luxury that you don't understand how a normal family lives.

Samaira silently endured everything.

When Sid returned from work, she tried to tell him.

Samaira: Sid, your mom keeps insulting me.

Sid: She is adjusting to you.

Samaira: Adjusting?

Sid: Give her some time.

Samaira looked hurt.

Samaira: And who will give me time?

Sid had no answer.

Scene 7 - Samaira Returns Home

Weeks later, the Virani family was having dinner when the door suddenly opened.

Samaira walked in carrying her suitcase.

Nandini immediately rushed to her.

Nandini: Samaira!

Samaira broke down in her mother's arms.

Samaira: Maa...

Karan stood frozen.

Karan: What happened?

Samaira looked at him through tears.

Samaira: I made a mistake.

Karan's eyes filled with emotion.

Samaira: Papa, I want a divorce.

The entire family fell silent.

Sid arrived shortly afterward.

Sid: Samaira!

She turned away.

Samaira: Please don't stop me.

Sid: I love you.

Samaira: You didn't protect me when I needed you.

Sid lowered his eyes.

Sid: You're right.

Karan looked at Sid.

Karan: My daughter came back to me broken. I warned her because I knew this could happen, yet I was disappointed. I approved it for her happiness, believing you and your dad would take care of her.

Sid nodded.

Sid: I know.

He looked at Samaira.

Sid: Give me one chance to make things right.

Scene 8 - Sid Changes His Life

Sid realized love alone wasn't enough, and his earnings weren't enough to live separately.

He needed to earn enough to stand up for Samaira.

He began searching for work and eventually applied for a position at the Zaveri business group.

Raunak helped him prepare.

Raunak: This isn't charity, Sid.

Sid: I know.

Raunak: You'll have to prove yourself.

Sid: I will.

After several interviews, Sid secured a job with the Zaveris.

Kanti was impressed by his determination.

Kanti: You earned this position yourself.

Sid: Thank you, sir.

Meanwhile, Samaira slowly saw the change in his progress.

One evening, Sid met her.

Sid: I got a job.

Samaira: Which post?

Sid: I got the post of a team manager.

Samaira smiled faintly.

Samaira: Congratulations.

Sid: At the Zaveri Group.

She looked surprised.

Samaira: You did it.

Sid: For myself first.

He paused.

Sid: And then for us.

Samaira's eyes softened.

Sid: I should have stood beside you when my mom mistreated you. I didn't. I can't change that.

He held out his hand.

Sid: But I can promise that I'll never let anyone disrespect you again.

Samaira was silent.

Then she took his hand.

Samaira: I don't want a perfect husband, Sid.

Sid: Then what do you want?

Samaira: I want the man I fell in love with.

Sid smiled.

Sid: He's still here.

She hugged him.

Scene 9 - A New Beginning

With Sid now working for the Zaveris, he and Samaira reconciled.

Karan was relieved to see his daughter happy again.

Soon, Kanti decided to expand the Zaveri business operations in London.

The Virani family prepared to return to London, while Aarav also decided to move there with Simar.

At the airport, Raunak stood beside Prarthana.

Raunak: So, everyone is going to London.

Prarthana: Looks like it.

Raunak: Are you excited?

Prarthana: A little.

Raunak: Maybe London will change your mind about love.

Prarthana: Absolutely not.

Raunak laughed.

Raunak: We'll see.

Prarthana smiled.

Prarthana: You really don't give up, do you?

Raunak: Never.

As the family boarded the flight, Raunak looked at Prarthana.

She smiled back.

Neither of them realized that their own relationship was slowly becoming something neither had planned for.

Chapter 3 - When Friendship Became Love

Scene 1 - Malaysia: The Cycling Event

The Malaysian cycling championship was buzzing with excitement. Prarthana stood at the starting line, adjusting her helmet.

Raunak was nearby with his camera and microphone, working as a news reporter.

Raunak: Prarthana! Ready?

Prarthana: Obviously. I'm here to win.

Raunak: That's my girl.

Before the race began, a female cyclist approached Raunak.

Cyclist: Raunak! It's been ages!

Raunak smiled.

Raunak: Meera! I didn't know you were participating.

They hugged as old friends.

Prarthana watched them from a distance.

Her expression changed.

Prarthana: Who is she?

Her friend laughed.

Friend: You look jealous.

Prarthana: Jealous? Me? Never.

She glanced at Raunak again.

Prarthana: I don't like her.

Friend: You don't even know her.

Prarthana: I don't have to.

The whistle blew.

The race began.

Prarthana cycled furiously, overtaking one contestant after another.

Raunak followed the race with his camera.

Raunak: Come on, Prarthana!

She pushed herself harder.

Finally, she crossed the finish line first.

Raunak rushed toward her.

Raunak: You won!

Prarthana smiled proudly.

Raunak: What happened to you? I've never seen you cycle this fast!

She looked toward Meera.

Prarthana: Competition.

Raunak didn't understand.

Raunak: With whom?

Prarthana smiled.

Prarthana: Never mind.

Scene 2 - After the Race

Raunak handed Prarthana a bottle of water.

Raunak: I'm proud of you.

Prarthana: Really?

Raunak: Really.

He noticed her unusual silence.

Raunak: What's wrong?

Prarthana: Nothing.

Raunak: You were annoyed earlier.

Prarthana: I wasn't.

Raunak: You were.

Prarthana: Fine! I was.

Raunak: Why?

She hesitated.

Prarthana: Because you were spending so much time with that girl.

Raunak stared at her.

Then he smiled.

Raunak: Are you jealous?

Prarthana immediately looked away.

Prarthana: No.

Raunak: You are!

Prarthana: Shut up!

Raunak laughed.

Raunak: Don't worry. Meera is just an old friend.

Prarthana looked at him.

Prarthana: I don't care.

Raunak: Of course you don't.

She walked away, hiding her smile.

Scene 3 - The Island Trip

A few days later, Prarthana went on a short trip to a neighboring island with her friends.

Raunak and his group followed them nearby, partly for their news coverage and partly to ensure everyone remained safe.

Prarthana noticed Raunak's boat.

Prarthana: Why are you following us?

Raunak: Because you people have absolutely no sense of safety.

Prarthana: We can take care of ourselves.

Raunak: I know.

He smiled.

Raunak: But I'll still keep an eye on you.

She smiled.

Later, while exploring the island, Prarthana and her friends wandered farther than they intended.

Raunak, Prarthana, and friends danced on the island.

Suddenly, they heard movement near the water.

A crocodile appeared in the distance.

Everyone panicked.

Friend: Run!

Prarthana stumbled while trying to move away.

She became overwhelmed by fear and collapsed.

Raunak, who had been nearby, rushed toward her.

Raunak: Prarthana!

He reached her and carried her away from the danger.

Raunak: Prarthana! Open your eyes!

She remained unconscious.

Scene 4 - The Boat Trouble

Raunak managed to get Prarthana onto a boat.

Everyone began moving away from the island.

But suddenly-

Boatman: The engine has stopped!

Raunak looked toward the distant shore.

Raunak: Can you fix it?

Boatman: I'm trying!

Minutes passed.

The weather began changing.

Raunak looked at Prarthana, who was still unconscious.

Raunak: We can't stay here.

The boatman shook his head.

Boatman: If the engine doesn't start, we'll have to swim toward the rescue point.

Raunak immediately looked at Prarthana.

Raunak: I'll take her.

Boatman: It's dangerous.

Raunak: I know.

He carefully lifted Prarthana and entered the water.

Scene 5 - Raunak Risks Everything

Raunak struggled through the water, keeping Prarthana's head above the surface.

Raunak: Come on, Prarthana...

She remained unconscious.

Hours seemed to pass.

Raunak was exhausted and struggling to breathe.

Still, he refused to let go.

Raunak: You promised you'd never believe in love...

He smiled faintly despite his exhaustion.

Raunak: So don't you dare leave me now.

Eventually, rescuers spotted them and pulled them from the water.

Both were rushed to the hospital.

Raunak had suffered serious oxygen deprivation from the prolonged ordeal and needed immediate treatment.

Prarthana remained unconscious from the shock and panic.

Scene 6 - At the Hospital

Karan, Nandini, Simar, Aarav, Samaira, and Sid were informed.

Karan was devastated.

Karan: My daughter...

Nandini held his hand.

Nandini: They'll be all right.

The doctor came out.

Doctor: Prarthana is stable. She is still unconscious, but there is no immediate danger.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Karan: And Raunak?

The doctor became serious.

Doctor: He was deprived of oxygen for a considerable period. We've stabilized him, but he'll need close observation.

Nandini's eyes filled with tears.

Nandini: He risked his life for her.

Karan nodded silently.

Scene 7 - Prarthana Awakens

Hours later, Prarthana slowly opened her eyes.

Prarthana: Where... where is Raunak?

The nurse smiled.

Nurse: He's in another room.

Prarthana immediately became worried.

Prarthana: Is he okay?

Nurse: He's recovering.

Prarthana closed her eyes with relief.

Later, she was allowed to see him.

Raunak was lying in bed, still weak.

Prarthana sat beside him.

Prarthana: Why did you do it?

Raunak opened his eyes.

Raunak: Do what?

Prarthana: Risk your life for me.

He smiled faintly.

Raunak: Because you're my best friend.

Prarthana's eyes filled with tears.

Prarthana: Just my best friend?

Raunak looked at her.

There was silence.

Neither knew what to say.

Finally, Raunak reached for her hand.

Raunak: I don't know anymore.

Prarthana held his hand tightly.

Prarthana: Neither do I.

Scene 8 - The Realization

A few days later, both had recovered enough to leave the hospital.

Outside, Raunak and Prarthana sat together.

Prarthana: I used to say I didn't believe in love.

Raunak: I remember.

Prarthana: I was wrong.

Raunak looked at her.

Prarthana: I thought love meant losing yourself.

She smiled.

Prarthana: But maybe it's finding the person who makes you realize how much your life means.

Raunak became emotional.

Raunak: Prarthana...

She looked at him.

Prarthana: I think somewhere between all our arguments, jokes, and fights...

She smiled.

Prarthana: I fell in love with you.

Raunak's eyes softened.

Raunak: You know what?

Prarthana: What?

Raunak: I think I fell in love with you long before I realized it.

Prarthana smiled.

Prarthana: So what happens now?

Raunak gently held her hand.

Raunak: Now we stop pretending we're just friends.

They smiled at each other.

Raunak and Prarthana shared romantic moments.

Hum Tum Itna Pyaar Karenge
Hum Tum Itna Pyaar Karenge
Jo Bhi Sunega Woh Yeh Kahenga
Kaun Raha Hai Kaun Rahenga
Pyaar Raha Hai Pyaar Rahenga
Pyaar Raha Hai Pyaar Rahega
Chanda Taare Sun Le Saare
Teri Yaadon Mein Hum
Soye Jaage Soye Jaage
Sara Aalam Kya Hai
Jaanam Tere Pyaar Ke Aage


Mere Dil Ki Tere Dil Ki
Baat Koi Bhi Beh Na Jaaye

Baat Ka Dariya Chhod Ke Saahil
Hum Se Aage Beh Na Jaaye
Hum Se Aage Beh Na Jaaye
Chanda Taare Sun Le Saare
Teri Yaadon Mein Hum
Soye Jaage Soye Jaage
Sara Aalam Kya Hai

Jaanam Tere Pyaar Ke Aage
Teri Yaadon Mein Hum
Soye Jaage Soye Jaage
Sara Aalam Kya Hai
Jaanam Tere Pyaar Ke Aage
Chanda Taare Sun Le Saare.

Neither knew that while they had discovered their love in Malaysia, their families in London were already planning Raunak's future-with Payal Shah.

Scene 9 - The Secret Proposal

Back in London, Kanti and Smita met with the Shah family.

Payal, the spoiled daughter of another wealthy business tycoon, sat beside her parents.

Shah: A marriage between Raunak and Payal would unite our businesses beautifully.

Kanti: Exactly what we want.

Smita: Raunak will eventually understand.

Shah: And Karan?

Kanti: Karan is our oldest friend. He'll help us.

Later, Kanti called Karan.

Kanti: We want to discuss something important.

Karan: Of course. Tell me.

Kanti: Raunak and Payal.

Karan smiled.

Karan: You think they would make a good couple?

Kanti deliberately hid the truth.

Kanti: Raunak will be very happy.

Karan trusted his old friend.

Karan: Then I'll help you.

He had no idea that Raunak had already given his heart to Prarthana-and that the person he was being asked to help marry his son to was Payal.

Chapter 4 - Love Sacrificed

London had changed for the Virani family.

Simar and Aarav were happily married, while Samaira and Sid had rebuilt their relationship. But for Prarthana and Raunak, life had become complicated.

Neither knew that their happiness would soon be tested.

Scene 1 - Simar and Aarav

One morning, Simar was preparing breakfast when Aarav quietly came up behind her.

Aarav: Good morning, Mrs. Aarav.

Simar: Good morning. And don't disturb me.

Aarav: Why?

Simar: Because I'm cooking.

Aarav: I missed you.

Simar turned around.

Simar: I saw you ten minutes ago.

Aarav: Ten minutes is a long time.

She laughed.

Simar: You're becoming very demanding.

Aarav took a spoon and tasted the food.

Simar: Aarav!

Aarav: Perfect.

Simar: You didn't even taste it properly.

Aarav: I don't need to.

He smiled.

Aarav: Everything you make is perfect.

Simar blushed.

Simar: Flattery won't get you extra breakfast.

Aarav: Worth a try.

He hugged her from behind.

Simar smiled and rested her hands over his.

Scene 2 - Sid and Samaira

Meanwhile, Samaira and Sid were enjoying a quiet evening together.

Sid had brought flowers home.

Samaira: For me?

Sid: Who else?

Samaira: What's the occasion?

Sid: Can't I give my wife flowers without an occasion?

She smiled.

Samaira: You have changed so much.

Sid: You changed me.

Samaira looked at him affectionately.

Samaira: I was ready to leave you forever.

Sid: I know.

Samaira: But you fought for us.

Sid: Because I finally understood that being your husband meant standing beside you-not just saying I loved you.

Samaira rested her head on his shoulder.

Samaira: I love you, Sid.

Sid: I love you too.

He kissed her forehead.

Scene 3 - Prarthana Makes a Decision

Prarthana had been thinking about Raunak for days.

Finally, she decided she couldn't hide her feelings anymore.

She went to Karan.

Prarthana: Papa, can I talk to you?

Karan: Of course.

She sat beside him.

Prarthana: I want your blessing.

Karan smiled.

Karan: For what?

Prarthana took a deep breath.

Prarthana: I want to marry Raunak.

Karan froze.

His smile disappeared.

Karan: What did you say?

Prarthana: I love him, Papa.

Karan stood up.

Karan: Prarthana...

Prarthana: I know he's from the Zaveri family. I know they're wealthy. But Raunak isn't like them.

Karan: That's not the only problem.

Prarthana: Then what is it?

Karan looked deeply troubled.

He was caught between his affection for Prarthana and his long-standing loyalty to the Zaveri and Shah families.

Karan: Give me some time.

Prarthana smiled hopefully.

Prarthana: You'll bless us?

Karan couldn't answer.

Scene 4 - Karan's Accident

Karan left the house emotionally shaken.

His mind was filled with conflicting thoughts.

He suddenly lost control of his car.

There was a crash.

When Prarthana received the call, she rushed to the hospital.

Prarthana: Papa!

She saw Karan with an injured arm.

Prarthana: What happened?

Karan tried to reassure her.

Karan: I'm fine.

Prarthana began crying.

Prarthana: This happened because of me.

Karan: No.

Prarthana: I shouldn't have told you about Raunak.

She wiped her tears.

Prarthana: I was only joking.

Karan looked at her sadly.

Karan: Prarthana...

Prarthana: It was just a prank, Papa. There is nothing between Raunak and me.

Karan knew she was lying.

But he said nothing.

Scene 5 - Karan Tells Prarthana the Truth

That night, Karan finally spoke to her.

Karan: Prarthana, I know you love him.

She looked away.

Prarthana: I don't.

Karan: Don't lie to me.

She began crying.

Karan: The Zaveris are already planning Raunak's engagement.

Prarthana's face fell.

Prarthana: To Payal?

Karan nodded.

Karan: Yes.

She struggled to keep herself composed.

Prarthana: But Raunak loves me.

Karan: I know.

Prarthana: Then why?

Karan sighed.

Karan: Because the Malhotra-Zaveri family believes that wealth is everything. And they will never accept you easily as their daughter-in-law.

Prarthana looked heartbroken.

Karan: I don't want to see you humiliated.

Prarthana: So you're asking me to leave him?

Karan couldn't answer.

That was an answer enough.

Scene 6 - Prarthana Breaks Raunak's Heart

Raunak met Prarthana in the garden.

He was smiling.

Raunak: I was waiting for you.

Prarthana couldn't look at him.

Raunak: What's wrong?

Prarthana: Nothing.

Raunak: You haven't looked at me once.

She finally turned toward him.

Prarthana: Raunak, I need to tell you something.

Raunak: Tell me.

Prarthana: I don't love you.

Raunak stared at her.

Raunak: What?

Prarthana: Whatever happened between us... It was friendship.

Raunak: You're lying.

Prarthana: I'm not.

Raunak: You told me you loved me.

Prarthana: I was confused.

His expression shattered.

Raunak: And the island?

Prarthana: We were emotional.

Raunak: So everything meant nothing?

Prarthana forced herself to smile.

Prarthana: You're my best friend, Raunak. Nothing more.

Raunak's eyes filled with tears.

Raunak: Fine.

He walked away.

The moment he was gone, Prarthana broke down.

Prarthana: I'm sorry, Raunak.

She cried silently.

Prarthana: I love you.

Scene 7 - Raunak Is Pressured

At the Zaveri mansion, Kanti and Smita spoke to Raunak.

Kanti: The Shah family is expecting your answer.

Raunak: I don't want to marry Payal.

Smita: Raunak, this marriage is important for both families.

Raunak: What about my happiness?

Kanti became stern.

Kanti: You have responsibilities.

Raunak looked toward his parents.

Raunak: And if I say no?

Smita quietly replied:

Smita: You'll disappoint everyone.

Raunak remembered Prarthana's words.

"You're my best friend. Nothing more."

His heart hardened.

Raunak: Fine.

Kanti looked relieved.

Raunak: I'll marry Payal.

Scene 8 - Prarthana Plays Cupid

Prarthana knew Raunak was miserable.

She also knew that if she continued showing her love, the families would suffer.

So she decided to do one last thing for him.

She took Raunak and Payal to a dance club.

Raunak: Why are we here?

Prarthana: You need to enjoy yourself.

Raunak: I'm not in the mood.

Payal smiled.

Payal: Come on, Raunak.

Prarthana pushed him gently toward the dance floor.

Prarthana: Go.

Raunak looked at her.

Raunak: You're really doing this?

Prarthana: Yes.

The music began.

Raunak and Payal started dancing.

Aah, aah, aah, aah aah

Aah aah, aah

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

Aye dil, koi pehchaana nahin

Kisi ne yeh maana nahin

Kisi ne yeh jaana nahin

Kisi ko bataana nahin

Dard chhupa hai kahan

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

O, hey, eh

Prarthana stood nearby, smiling painfully.

Raunak kept looking toward her.

She gave him an encouraging smile.

Prarthana: Have fun.

Raunak slowly turned back to Payal.

Tune mujhse vafaa nahin ki

Tujhko kaise vafaa milegi

Tune mujhko dard diya hai

Tujhko kaise davaa milegi

Seene mein uthte hain armaan aise

Dariya mein aate hain toofan jaise

Kabhi kabhi khud hi maajhi

Kashti ko dubota hai

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

Prarthana watched them dance painfully.

Kaante chunkar tera daaman

Phoolon se main bhar jaaoonga

Isse badi sazaa kya hogi

Maaf tujhe main kar jaaoonga

Aa, eh aah

Her eyes filled with tears.

Prarthana: If this is what makes you happy...

She whispered:

Prarthana: Then I'll become your cupid.

Raunak imagined dancing with Prarthana.

Hogi kisi ko pehchaan kaise

Pyaar mein hote hain purbaan kaise

Humko yeh maaloom na tha

Pyaar bhi ek samjhauta hai

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

Aye dil, koi pehchaana nahin

Kisi ne yeh maana nahin

Kisi ne yeh jaana nahin

Kisi ko bataana nahin

Dard chhupa hai kahan

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai

Aye dil, dil ki duniya mein

Aisa haal bhi hota hai

Baahar koi hansta hai

Andar koi rota hai.

Scene 9 - Raunak Discovers the Truth About Payal

As the engagement preparations continued, Raunak began spending more time with Payal.

But he quickly noticed something troubling.

At a business dinner, Payal mocked the Zaveri family's traditional customs.

Payal: Why does your family still insist on all these old-fashioned traditions?

Raunak: Because they're part of who we are.

Payal: They're outdated.

Raunak frowned.

Later, Payal's parents discussed their plans.

Payal's Father: Once this merger happens, we'll have enormous control over the new company.

Raunak overheard them.

He realized the marriage wasn't about love.

It was about business.

Raunak confronted Karan.

Raunak: Uncle, do you know what they're doing?

Karan: What?

Raunak: Payal and her parents don't care about our family. They only care about the merger.

Karan was shocked.

Raunak showed him evidence of their plans.

Karan finally understood.

Karan: I was wrong.

Scene 10 - Karan Begs the Zaveris

Karan went to the Zaveri mansion.

Karan: Kanti, please reconsider this engagement.

Kanti: Why?

Karan: Payal and her family aren't right for Raunak.

Jagdish: And who are you to decide that?

Karan: I'm his father's oldest friend.

Jagdish laughed bitterly.

Jagdish: No. You're the father of the girl who tried to trap Raunak.

Karan was stunned.

Karan: Prarthana never trapped anyone.

Jagdish: You used your daughter to get close to our family.

Karan: That's a lie!

Jagdish: You wanted your family connected to our wealth!

Karan's face fell.

Jagdish: You wormed your way into the Zaveri family through Prarthana!

Karan was shattered.

Raunak stood nearby, horrified.

Raunak: Uncle!

Karan looked at him.

There were tears in his eyes.

Karan: Don't call me Uncle anymore.

Raunak: What?

Karan: I trusted your family for years.

He looked at Kanti.

Karan: I considered you my brother.

Then he looked at Raunak.

Karan: And I loved you like a son.

Raunak's eyes filled with tears.

Karan: But today you've all made me realize that our relationship meant nothing to you.

Raunak: Uncle, please-

Karan: No.

He turned away.

Karan: From today, there is no relationship between the Virani family and the Zaveris.

Raunak was devastated.

Raunak: Please don't leave me.

Karan stopped but didn't turn around.

Karan: I wish I could.

He walked away.

Raunak remained standing there, completely broken.

And in another part of London, Prarthana cried alone-unaware that her sacrifice hadn't protected her family from heartbreak after all.

Chapter 5 - A Love That Finally Won

The day of Raunak and Prarthana's engagement had finally arrived.

After all the misunderstandings, sacrifices, and heartbreak, they were finally together again. But before the celebrations could begin, Raunak had one last battle to fight-with the people who had spent years deciding his life for him.

Scene 1 - The Night Before the Engagement

At the Zaveri mansion, Raunak was confined to his room under Jagdish's orders.

Raunak: You can't keep me locked up!

Jagdish: Until the engagement tomorrow, you aren't leaving this house.

Raunak: I'm not marrying Payal!

Jagdish: You will.

Raunak: You care more about this merger than you care about me!

Kanti and Smita stood silently.

Raunak looked at his parents.

Raunak: Do you even know what I want?

Neither answered.

Raunak: That's the problem. You never asked.

He became emotional.

Raunak: All my life, I wanted your love. Instead, you gave me money, a huge house, and everything except yourselves.

Kanti looked shaken.

Raunak: And now you're trying to buy my happiness with a business deal.

Jagdish moved toward him.

Jagdish: Enough!

Raunak pushed past him but was stopped.

In desperation, Raunak hurt himself while trying to escape the room.

Smita: Raunak!

He managed to get out of the house despite his injury.

Scene 2 - The Virani Home

Simar and Aarav were sitting together when the door suddenly opened.

Raunak appeared, injured and exhausted.

Simar: Raunak!

Aarav immediately helped him inside.

Aarav: What happened?

Raunak: I had to get away.

Prarthana came running.

She froze when she saw him.

Prarthana: Raunak...

He looked at her.

For a moment, neither spoke.

Then Prarthana ran to him.

Prarthana: What have they done to you?

Raunak: It doesn't matter.

Prarthana: It matters to me!

He held her hand.

Raunak: I lost you once because I listened to everyone else.

He looked into her eyes.

Raunak: I won't lose you again.

Prarthana began crying.

Prarthana: I'm sorry I ever pushed you away.

Raunak: Don't apologize.

He gently wiped her tears.

Raunak: Just come with me.

Prarthana looked at Simar.

Simar immediately understood.

Simar: Go.

Aarav nodded.

Aarav: We'll handle everything here.

Prarthana took Raunak's hand.

Together, they left.

Scene 3 - Raunak and Prarthana Elope

They reached a quiet little temple outside London.

Prarthana looked nervous.

Prarthana: Are we really doing this?

Raunak: Yes.

Prarthana: Everyone will be angry.

Raunak: Let them be angry.

He smiled.

Raunak: I'm tired of living for everyone else's happiness.

Prarthana held his hand.

Prarthana: I love you.

Raunak: I love you too.

They exchanged a simple garland, promising each other.

Scene 4 - Smita Finally Understands

Back at the Zaveri mansion, everyone was panicking.

Kanti: Where is Raunak?

Jagdish: He has run away!

Smita suddenly became quiet.

She remembered everything Raunak had said.

"All my life, I wanted your love."

Tears filled her eyes.

Smita: We did this to him.

Kanti looked at her.

Kanti: Smita...

Smita: No. We did.

She immediately went to Karan and Nandini.

Smita: Please forgive us.

Karan was surprised.

Karan: Smita...

Smita: We treated our son like part of a business agreement.

Nandini gently held her hand.

Nandini: It's not too late.

Smita nodded.

Smita: I want my son back.

Scene 5 - Karan Brings Them Home

Karan and Nandini found Raunak and Prarthana.

Karan approached them.

Karan: Raunak.

Raunak looked away.

Raunak: I can't go back.

Karan smiled sadly.

Karan: I'm not here to force you.

Prarthana looked at him.

Karan: I made mistakes too. I was so worried about family relationships that I forgot my daughter's happiness.

Prarthana's eyes filled with tears.

Karan: Come home.

Raunak looked at Karan.

Karan: Both of you.

Nandini embraced Prarthana.

Nandini: Your home is waiting for you.

Raunak finally smiled.

Scene 6 - The Engagement Party

The engagement hall was beautifully decorated.

But everyone knew that something important was about to happen.

Simar and Aarav stood together.

Aarav adjusted Simar's bracelet.

Simar: You keep checking everything.

Aarav: Because I want my wife to look perfect.

Simar: I already look perfect.

Aarav: Exactly.

She smiled.

Nearby, Sid and Samaira were dancing slowly.

Samaira: Do you remember our first dance?

Sid: How could I forget?

Samaira: You stepped on my foot.

Sid: You still married me.

Samaira: Unfortunately.

Sid laughed.

Sid: Fortunately.

They smiled lovingly.

Scene 7 - Raunak and Prarthana

Prarthana stood nervously near the stage.

Raunak came behind her.

Raunak: Nervous?

Prarthana: A little.

Raunak: Why?

Prarthana: Because this time I'm not running away.

Raunak smiled.

Raunak: Neither am I.

He took her hand.

Prarthana: You know, I once said I didn't believe in love.

Raunak: I remember.

Prarthana: I was completely wrong.

Raunak: I'm glad you were.

She laughed.

Prarthana: And you?

Raunak: I was always right.

Prarthana: About what?

He leaned closer.

Raunak: About us.

She smiled.

Scene 8 - Raunak's Speech

The engagement ceremony began.

Everyone expected Raunak to announce his engagement to Payal.

Instead, he stepped onto the stage with Prarthana.

The guests fell silent.

Raunak: Today, I want to say something.

He looked toward his parents.

Raunak: My family has spent years building an empire.

He paused.

Raunak: But somewhere along the way, we forgot to build happiness.

Everyone listened.

Raunak: My parents love me. I know that now. But for years, they thought money could give me everything.

Smita began crying.

Raunak: They were wrong.

He took Prarthana's hand.

Raunak: Happiness cannot be bought. Love cannot be negotiated. And marriage cannot be used as a business merger.

Payal quietly stood up.

She looked at her parents.

Payal: He's right.

Her father stared at her.

Payal: I don't want a marriage that exists only for business.

She walked toward Raunak and Prarthana.

Payal: You both deserve to be happy.

Raunak smiled gratefully.

Scene 9 - The Merger Ends

Payal's father became furious.

Shah: If there is no marriage, there is no merger.

Kanti looked at him.

Kanti: Then so be it. Instead, I will work with Karan on every project.

For the first time, Kanti chose his son's happiness over business.

Kanti came to Virani House. He said, "I am sorry for all that happened. I remember that I came to you with a business offer; you were not in a position to partner with me. I know you don't believe in merger, but we can certainly work together on a project. Earlier, I came to you as a businessman, but I now I am coming to you as a friend."

Karan: If you have come to me as a friend more than a businessman or a samdhan, we can certainly work together.

They signed a deal.

Jagdish looked at Raunak.

Then at Prarthana.

He finally lowered his pride.

Jagdish: Karan...

Karan turned.

Jagdish: I was wrong.

He looked at Nandini.

Jagdish: Both of you, forgive me.

Then he turned toward Prarthana.

Jagdish: And you... Forgive me for believing that you wanted our wealth.

Prarthana's eyes filled with tears.

Prarthana: I never wanted anything except Raunak.

Jagdish smiled.

Jagdish: Then you have our blessing.

Kanti and Smita came forward.

Smita embraced Prarthana.

Smita: Welcome to our family.

Prarthana cried happily.

Raunak hugged his mother.

Raunak: Thank you, Mom.

Scene 10 - Four Couples Together

Later that evening, music filled the hall.

Simar and Aarav danced together.

Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile

Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile

Jab dil khile tab gool khile

Jab gool khile tab dil mile

Mile mile mile dil mile

Khile khile khile gool khile

Is ishq mein aisi aag lage ho

Is ishq mein aisi aag lage

Dil dariya mein toofan uthe

Dharti dole aakash hile ho

Yeh ishq qayamat bhi hai ji

Yeh ishq ibaadat bhi hai ji

Aarav: Happy?

Simar: Very.

Aarav: Good.

He twirled her gently.

Nearby, Sid and Samaira danced.

Koyi tauba kare koyi sijda kare

Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile

Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile

Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile

Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile

Jab dil khile tab gool khile

Jab gool khile tab dil mile

Mile mile mile mile dil mile

Oh dile dile dile dile dil mile

Is ishq mein aisi aag lage ho

Jab se tu hai is dil mein is dil mein
Meri jaan hai mushkil mein mushkil mein
Mehfil mein hai tanhaayi tanhaayi
Tanhaayi hai mehfil mein mehfil mein

Sid: No stepping on your feet tonight.

Samaira: I'll believe it when I see it.

They laughed.

Raunak approached Prarthana.

Raunak: May I have this dance?

Prarthana: With pleasure.

They began dancing.

Oh yeh duniya apni prem gali
Aa gali mein lag ja yaar gale
Ho jaaye saare door gile oh
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile
Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile

Jo kahon tum kar jaayen kar jaayen
Ab abhi yahi mar jaayen mar jaayen
Ek duje ka dil mith si pyaari si
Yaadon se hum bhar jaaye bhar jaaye
Yeh ishq hamara kaisa ho, yeh ishq hamara aisa ho
Ke saari duniya yaad kare
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Tab gool khile khile khile gool khile
Jab dil mile tab ghool khile
Jab ghool khile tab dil mile
Mile mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dile dile dile dile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Jab dil mile mile mile dil mile
Koyi tauba kare koyi sajda kare
Koyi tauba kare koyi sajda kare.

Prarthana rested her head against his shoulder.

Prarthana: We finally made it.

Raunak: Together.

The four couples smiled at one another.

For the first time, there were no family disputes, business deals, or sacrifices.

Only love.

Epilogue - Years Later

Years passed. The Virani-Zaveri partnership did exceedingly well.

The Virani ancestral home in India was filled with laughter.

An elderly Karan and Nandini sat together in the garden.

A little girl ran toward them.

Little Girl: Nana! Nani!

Karan laughed and opened his arms.

Karan: Come here, princess!

She climbed onto his lap.

Nandini smiled.

Nandini: She has Simar's smile.

Karan looked toward the house.

Inside, Simar and Aarav, Samaira and Sid, and Prarthana and Raunak were together, laughing just as they had years ago.

The three sisters had remained inseparable.

Karan looked at his daughters with pride.

Karan: My three girls...

Nandini held his hand.

Nandini: And all three found happiness.

Karan smiled.

Karan: That's all a father could ever ask for.

The family gathered together for a photograph.

Raunak put his arm around Prarthana.

Aarav stood beside Simar.

Sid sat beside Samaira.

The little girl sat between her grandparents.

The ancestral home echoed with laughter.

And this time, no wealth, no business deal, and no family feud could come between them. It was only a long-lasting friendship between four families.

They had chosen love-and love had finally chosen them.

All the couples remembered their journey of love.

Nagmen Hain Shikve Hain

The end
