Since Nisha is traveling to India in two days for wedding preparations, Sachin, herself, and their best friend Nakul has planned to meet up in their usual coffee shop. While they were waiting for Nakul, Sachin has told Nisha that he had booked Meera and the kids tickets, and they would be coming for the wedding.
Nisha: "Sachi... What have you done?? we have already discussed it. Why don't you understand? I have told you how strict my grandpa is, and we haven't told him about Meera. If he comes to know about it, he will stop this wedding. You knew how much difficult it was for me to convince my family for our wedding. I might sound like a selfish person. But even Meera said she won't come for the wedding, and we both even planned for a trip. That's why I have asked you to plan the honeymoon after a week."
Nisha got irritated with Sachin's decision. It wasn't easy for her to get permission from her family for their wedding. Love marriage itself was a first in their family. That too an inter-caste marriage! After months and months of throwing tantrums, emotional blackmailing, and hunger strikes, her family has finally agreed to this marriage. Even then, other than her parents, no one in her family knows about Meera, as none of them would then agree to this alliance.
Sachin: "No Nisha, you don't sound like, but You are selfish. My sister will be there for the wedding, and that is my decision. I'm not ready for any more discussion on this matter.
Sachi walked out of the cafe while Nakul entered. But he didn't acknowledge him and just walked away angrily. Nakul got confused and walked towards Nisha, who is on the verge of tears.
"You guys fought again? I don't understand why you both want to get married when you guys can't even spend a day without fighting with each other. Nakul told while sitting on the chair opposite Nisha.
"Now, what is the matter? And why are you crying?" Nakul asked Nisha.
"His sister is coming. I don't know what all is going to happen now." She told him among sobs.
Nakul: "His sister? Keerthi? What is the problem with that? Oh! you mean his cousin?" She nodded her head.
"And what is the problem if she comes?" He asked her.
Nisha: "You know how difficult it was to convince my parents. She and her kids were also an issue, and we haven't told my grandpa as he is very strict. He will stop the wedding. What will I do when he sees her at the wedding? Sachi is not ready to understand my worries." she started crying.
Nakul: "Hey..hey.. don't cry. Come on Nisha. I'll talk to him. Calm down. But why does she has to come now? Can't she wait for some more time? She hasn't gone to India for a long time, then why can't she wait for some more time? I didn't know she is selfish."
Nisha: "No..no. It is not her fault. She was not ready to come, and it was Sachin who booked her ticket. He is hell bound to bring her and saying that he would postpone the wedding if she can't attend. I don't understand why he is so stubborn now."
Nakul: "Ok..ok..calm down..I'll talk to him... You relax and be happy about your wedding. A bride should look beautiful. So stop worrying."
He consoled her, and after a while, they left for their apartments.
