Episode begins with Purvi teasing Soham, who is hiding his face in his kurta.
She says, So its a matter of Love/shove? Dada, please tell me, naa...this means you love someone but you didnt tell me!
Soham protests, whats not to tell? You're the first one I'm telling, actually I didnt realize when I fell in love with the girl.
Purvi asks him, so have you confessed your feelings to her or not?
Soham, styling his hair self-consciously, tells Purvi, Aai Baba have gone to talk to the girl today, you know..
Purvi is confused, But just now u said Im the first one to know and now you're telling me Aai Baba already know and are going there?
Soham tells her, Arey, I didnt tell them verbally but they understood my feelings! You know naa, nothing can be hidden from Aai...
Purvi agrees smiling, Yes, thats true. Now tell me that girl's name!
Soham grins, Arey you know that girl.
Purvi is confused, I know the girl?
Soham: Your college friend, with whom you used to play at one time!
Purvi is still wondering who it is...
Soham pretends to whisper: Arey, that Doctorni!
Purvi gasps in shock! GAURI! Dada, you love Gauri?
Soham is grinning and nodding.
Purvi teases him: But a few days ago, u used to say shes arrogant, you would fight with her so much, and now...anyway, Dada, Im very happy for you! You two will be very happy together! But Dada, Gauri has not told me yet that she loves you!
Soham admits: She hasnt yet told me she loves me...
Purvi says in comical wonder: What?
Soham tells her, We havent told each other we love each other, I get embarassed, Purvi, what can I say?
Purvi says, that means Aai Baba have gone to talk to her directly? Will she say Yes?
Soham folds his hands, Yes, Let her say Yes! Actually, I never thought what she thinks about me. But she will say Yes to me, Definitely!
Soham smiles confidently with sparkling eyes.
Purvi teases him, Oh, so you're that confident?
Soham says, From the way she behaves with me, I feel she loves me a lot, she cares for me, she stops me before I do anything wrong.
With a dreamy look in his eyes, Soham remembers how Gauri stopped him from going to Patna, how she forced him to get off from the train, how she hid the fact that Sandeep misbehaved with her because she didnt want him to turn into Vishnu Lala again and resort to violence.
Soham excitedly tells Purvi, Leave all that, now just wait, I will come and give you the good news myself!
Purvi smiles and nods. Soham hugs Purvi and runs off, leaving her smiling.
Next scene:
Gauri's chawl, Manav's car arrives there, Manav gets down and asks someone where the address was. The guy points that it was close. Manav asks Archana to come, she gets down from the car and goes with him.
Soham gets out of an auto behind them. He has followed his parents there.
Atul opens the door at Gauri's house. Her parents are suprised to see Armaan: Archana Ji, Manav ji, please come in!
They welcome Armaan into the house. Gauri's mother says, This is the first time you have come to our house, please come in and take a seat!
Armaan sit down, Gauri comes and says, You both are here, today is an auspicious day for us! Please relax, I will bring tea for you!
She goes to make tea.
Manav looks seriously at Gauri's father: Umeshji, I have something important to discuss with you.
Gauri's parents look a little worried. Her father gives some money to Atul and asks him to get some biscuits from the store. Atul looks sad and asks, But what abt my car?
Manav asks him, what happened to your car?
Atul tells him, its broken and cant be repaired.
Manav says, Give it to me, Ive fixed many cars before, by the time you return, I will have it fixed!
Atul agrees happily: I will go and be back in a jiffy! He runs off.
Gauri's mother asks: Manav ji, you were saying something?
Archana tells her, Actually we have thought of something and wanted to discuss it with you...and whatever you feel about this matter, please tell us sincerely, without any hesitation. We want to make Gauri our daughter-in-law!
Gauri's parents look surprised, then seem happy!
Archana continues, We have brought the proposal for our son Sachin for Gauri.
Gauri is in the kitchen but it seems she can hear them talking.
Manav tells her dad: Umeshji, Sachin is an advocate, he earns a good amount. And we are sure he will keep you daughter very happy! You can meet him personally if you want..
Umeshji protests with a broad smile: No Manavji, no need for that! Sachin is your son and our daughter Gauri will be your bahu, this is our good fortune!
Armaan smile happily at each other.
Umeshji says, There is no reason at all for us to reject this proposal, isnt that right, Rajni?
Gauri's mom delightedly agrees, I dont think our daughter can get a better proposal than this!
Manav was going to say something but Archu stops him as Gauri was coming in with the tea tray.
Gauri puts the tray down and looks at Archu rather consciously, then leaves with a smile.
Archana tells Rajni, This is a very good thing that u agreed to this proposal. But most important thing is what Gauri thinks abt this proposal. Her decision will be the right one.
Umeshji agrees: Of course, Archana ji, this marriage is possible only after Gauri agrees to it! Shes the one who will marry...
Archana says, I want to say something before that. We dont know if Gauri will say Yes or No to this proposal. But I know this much, whatever her decision maybe, our families will always be friends.
Rajni says, This is all very good, let me go and call Gauri.
Archana says, No, I want to meet her myself, I will go inside and talk to her...
Soham is waiting outside, impatiently pacing around and babbling to himself: Oh God! Will she say Yes or No!
He goes to the tea vendor and tells him to make one more tea. The tea vendor tells him, Bhaiya, you already had 4 Chais, how many more will u drink?
Soham tells him, Dont ask questions, my tension wont go away, just make one more, thats it!
Tea vendor makes him another glass of tea, singing: Tum jo aaye, zindagi mein, baat ban gayi...
Soham is surprised and asks him, Why are u looking so happy? Whats the matter?
Tea seller guy says, Im always happy nowadays, theres no limit to my happiness.
Soham asks, What happened in ur life to make u so happy?
Tea seller tells him, I just got married, and best thing is I married the girl I loved!
Soham grins and congratulates him.
Tea seller says, At first I used to be scared to talk to her,then I thought if I dont talk to her, I may lose her forever, so one day I went to her, summoned up my courage and confessed my feelings to her! Miracle happened when she also agreed.
Soham said, Thats so nice! I dont know when I will have the courage to tell her, I get so nervous! What if she said No?
Tea vendor tells him, But what if she says Yes? First tell her ur feelings, then only u will know what she feels abt you. And my experience tell me, you shd not delay such things. So go and tell her how you feel abt her.
Soham says, Yes, I shd go..
Tea vendor, Then what are u waiting for, go and tell her ur feelings...
Soham shyly says, No I wont go...my Aai Baba have gone to talk to her..
Tea vendor: What are u saying? Congratulations, mate! I will pray to God that ur proposal gets fixed!
Soham folds his hands and looks skyward: Yes, I will also pray that! Hey Bajrangbali (Hanumanji), please fix my marriage with her! Let her say Yes, please!
Gauri is in the kitchen, Archana goes to her. She tells Gauri, she knows Gauri heard everything, but still she wanted to talk personally to her. This concerns her whole life so she must think deeply and carefully before making a decision.
She tells Gauri, you have become a part of our lives. Sometimes u came to our home for my sake, sometimes for Manav, your constant visits made us so close to you, we have started loving you as our own, we dont feel like losing you. So we thought why not make this closeness into a relationship? Would you like to become the bahu of our family? I have come to ask for your hand for my son Sachin.
Gauri looks shy at first, then pleased.
Archana asks, Do u agree? There is no hurry! Think carefully, take your time. then decide. We dont want to force any kind of decision on you! So think abt it.
Gauri is hesitating, Archu asks her if she likes someone else? Gauri says No!
Gauri then shyly says Yes after some faltering.
Archana says, so you are saying Yes? Gauri smiles in consent.
Archu smiles happily and hugs her! Then brings her to the living room where Manav and Gauri's parents were waiting eagerly.
Archana says, Gauri, come here!
She takes out a blue square jewelry box.
She says, Manav, I told you naa, if Gauri says yes to this proposal, then I will give her these kangans (bangles) of mine!
Manav and Gauri's parents are smiling with joy!
Archu puts on the bangles on Gauri's hands.
Manav and Gaur's dad congratulate each other. Her mother is crying with joy!
Archu hugs Gauri. Just then, Atul returns from the store and asks his parents, Aai-Baba, why are you two crying?
Manav smiles: Atul beta, wont you give us sweets?
Atul is confused: Sweets, for what?
Umeshji tells Atul: Beta, ur sister's marriage is fixed!
Atul smiles, Really? He goes to Gauri who hugs him happily.
Soham is still sitting on the tea stall bench and waiting impatiently with a grumpy face.
The tea vendor advises him, Its no use sitting here and sighing, go upstairs and tell the girl how you feel abt her!
Soham says, Are u mad? Her family knows me! If I confess my love in front of them! No, Baba No! You keep quiet!
Tea vendor says, Do u want to do penance for her?
Soham says, What can I do? Now only she can do, until she says Yes, I wont find peace! He looks at Gauri's home and grumbles: Arey, what are these people doing for so long? Why isnt their discussion ending?
Just then, Archana and Manav come out of Gauri's home, Archu holds Gauri's hand and tells her to come and visit them soon.
Soham is staring at them. Armaan leave.
Gauri's mom tells her that shes very happy today! You got a 2nd mother in the form of Archana Ji! All my worries are over! These bangles are so beautiful!
Soham sees the bangles on Gauri's hands and remembers Archana telling him that if Gauri agrees, she will put the bangles on Gauri's hands.
Soham gets really excited and happy: Arey, she said Yes! SHE SAID YES!
He starts jumping and yelling, SHE SAID YES, SHE SAID YES!
The tea vendor runs to him and starts dancing with him. They dance, hug, Soham leaps and jumps, both are dancing like crazy:
Song playing in the background: Main Jatt Yamla pagla deewana O rabba! Itti si baat na jaana, ke ke ke O mainu pyaar kar dee hai, sadde utthey wo marti hai!
Tea vendor stops and tells Soham: Bhaiya listen, theres a Ganapati Bappa temple nearby, go there and break a coconut and take His blessings!
Soham yells in joy: I will go right now!
He runs off happily.
Soham is at the temple, praying devoutly, with a coconut in his hand! He remembers all his past encounters with Gauri. At the flood relief site, when they got lost, Gauri tying a piece of her dupatta on his injured hand, Hes carrying Gauri in his arms in the jungle, Gauri reassuring him in the bus, touching his shoulder.
Soham prays, Lord! Whenever u give, you give everything! Today u gave me everything! You have given me such a good family, you gave me Aayi, now you gave me such a lovely life partner! I never thought I would get so much happiness in my life! I dont know if Im worthy of such happiness! But I am sure of one thing, I will never disappoint you!
Soham prays, then breaks the coconut! Ganapati vandana Jai Dev Jai Dev music is playing in the background.
He rings the temple bell and prays with a happy face!
Soham is at a roadside, he sighs, gathers courage and calls Gauri on his mobile.
Gauri answers his call, shes also outside, somewhere.
Soham tells her he wants to meet her right away.
Gauri is surprised, Now? But Im outside now with my Ayi Baba..
Soham pleads with her, Please dont refuse, Im very close to ur home, waiting outside the temple.
Gauri says, Bappa's Temple? Soham, Im right there too..
Soham looks at Bappa and grins: Lord! You have fixed our meeting here too?
He asks Gauri, Can u meet me for 2 minutes?
Gauri agrees.
Soham turns around and sees her approaching slowly with a smile, song plays in the background: Ishq ki saazishein...Ishq ki baaziyan...
He remembers her sharing an umbrella with him in the rain, her dragging him out of the train, the jungle scenes, carrying her in his arms, rescuing her from kidnapping and hugging her in Balan's den...
Gauri comes to him and says his name.
Soham's daydreams end, he smiles and thanks her for coming.
He asks, Ayi Baba had come today to ur home, naa?
Gauri is surprised, you know abt this?
Soham tells her bashfully, I know they went to ur home..
He holds Gauri's hands with the gold bangles: Gauri, Im very happy that u agreed so quickly!
Gauri smiles, There was no reason to say No! I cant believe that Im going to become a part of ur family! Our lives are so strange, it changes colors so suddenly! Meaning of relationships change all of a sudden! Take us for example, first we used to fight, then we became friends, and now we are going to have a new relationship! But shall I be honest, I really like whats happening right now!
Soham grins, I also like this! But Gauri, why didnt u tell me before that you...
Before he could complete the sentence, Rajni calls: Gauri, Beta come here quickly,
Gauri turns and says, Im coming! She tells Soham, the Puja is starting so I have to go...she leaves from there.
Soham waves after her with a dreamy smile.
PRECAP: Arjun holding Purvi's hands, tells her, There is a surprise for you!
Purvi asks, What surprise?
Arjun tells her, You and I are going for a weekend vacation!
Purvi looks upset and teaful: Arjun, what are u saying? Baba's health is not good, Soham Dada is so upset...
Arjun nods, I know, I know...
