Instructing Ahaan to go and sit beside Rhea, Daadi made a serious face and called someone.

"Hello! Usse injection di? "Daadi told someone.

" Abhi tak nahi di! Uska dose agar complete nahi hua naa toh tumhe pata hai na ki kya hoga? "

"Zyada baatein mat karo aur jaldi se injection do usse! Agar woh hosh mein aa gayi toh siyappa  jaayega! Aur woh tumhare liye accha nahi hoga! Samjhe tum? Zyada baatein mat karo aur kaam pe lag jaao" Saying this, Daadi ended the call.

Seeing Daadi in such a serious state, Ahaan began to doubt on her.

"Daadi ko itna serious kyun dikha raha hai? Aur woh itne low voice mein kiske saath baat kar rahe hai?"

"Uff, main bhi na aaj kal kuch zyada hi soch raha hoon. Yeh sab kuch hua hai uss ladki ki wajah se! Har waqt mere dimag mein ghuske rehti hai! " Ahaan said turning to Ishqi and seeing her smiling.

Mayank was about to mix the drug powder in Sonu's drink when Kartik came hurriedly.

"Mayank! Mera matlab, Minky Bhai! Aapki baari hai dance karne ka woh bhi Ishqi ke saath!"

Mayank got a sudden shock hearing Kartik from the back.
Astonished, the drug powder fell from his hands on the table.

"Kartik, kuch der baad karte hai na? Abhi shayad Ishqi ready nahi hogi." Mayank said hesitantly.

"Nahi abhi karna padega, dekhiye sab log aap ke intezaar mein hai. Aap aiyye toh sahi. Ishqi bhi taiyyar hai."
Somehow Kartik managed to bring Mayank to the dance floor, holding him by his shoulder.

Ishqi, who was about to tell her Maasi about Mayank got interrupted due to Sarla's words.

"Kya Ishqi? Kartik toh bada bol raha tha tu stage macha degi? Ab kya hua? Darr lag raha hai? "

"Nahi aunty, woh main bass Maasi ko.."

"Arre rehne de! Tu aur tere bahane!"

"Aunty aap bass yaha pe araam se baithiye aur dekhiye kaise Ishqi stage machati hai!" Kartik told Sarla, making her sit on a chair.

"So Ladies and Gentlemen, aa rahe hai Ishqi aur Mayank, unki damdaar performance lekar! Taliyan!" Kartik announced and the crowd began to clap for Ishqi and Mayank, welcoming them on stage.

Both Ishqi and Mayank came on the stage. While Mayank was disturbed thinking he couldn't execute his plan, Ishqi was hesitant to dance with him after thinking what all he has done with Sonu and why he was marrying her.

~~~~~//~~~~~
Music began to flow in.

Dhaage tod laao,
Chandni se noor ke...
Ghoonghat hi banalo,
Roshni se noor ke...

Mayank pulled Ishqi towards him and made her twirl around his finger.
Ishqi, who was not at all interested in dancing with Mayank, made a disgusted face.

Dhaage tod laao,
Chandni se noor ke...
Ghoonghat hi banalo,
Roshni se noor ke...

Turning her face away from him, Ishqi saw Ahaan and the expression on her face changed.

Sharma gayi toh,
Aagosh mein lo...
Ho saanson se uljhi,
Rahi meri saansein,
Bol na halke halke...
Bol na halke halke...
Hoth se halke halke,
Bol na halke!

Her mind was captured with the thoughts of Ahaan.
How he saved her on her Engagement Day, his words while he was drunk, the way he saved from being stuck in the lift, yesterday when he saved her from her Maasa and today the way he saved her from falling.
Thinking about him, made her lips curve into a smile.
