It is the venue where Shaurya's shagun is to take place... Babli is managing the event & Anokhi is helping her...
Shaurya enters the hall & walks upto Babli & Anokhi who were discussing something related to the event...
Shaurya - (cheerfully) Babli ji, how's everything going ? I hope aap apna best de rahi h, main nahi chahta ki meri hone wali dulhan ko kuchh bhi pasand na aaye (says while looking at Anokhi), I want everything to be best like her...
Babli - (suppressing her smile) Ji Shaurya ji, apki dulhan duniya ki sabse khushnaseeb dulhan hogi, main apni puri jaan laga dungi iss shaadi ko uske liye yaadgaar banane ke liye... (Anokhi shot her a glare & Babli shrugged)
For them Anokhi is his bride but for her he's saying this for Shagun out of care or what if love... She feels tears pricking at the end of her eye... Already the whole week has been a torture for her, she's been preparing for someone's marriage who happens to be her husband & also the man she loves the most, she hasn't slept & eaten well, she's always feeling dizzy & emotionally drained... Her tolerance was growing thin so she excused herself...
Anokhi - Di, main vahan decorations aur lightings check kar ke aati hun..
Babli & Shaurya shared a mischievous smile as she walked away...
Anokhi - (thinking to herself) Kya inke liye itna aasaan h mujhe chhod dena ya humari shaadi ko bhool jaana, ya vo sab baatein aur vaadein jo kiye the unhe todd dena, is it so easy for him, he claimed to love me, but he's moved on as if it never happened... (tears roll down her cheeks) Maana maine jo bhi kiya vo galat kiya, par kiya toh PS ka soch ke hi na, unka bhala hi chaha maine, bhale tareeka galat tha, intentions toh humesha sahi thi meri, I love him
Kaise dekh leti main apne pyaar ko, apne pati ko ussi ke ghar walon se durr hota hua jisse vo itna pyaar karte h, ya vo college jise unhone itni mehnat se like his baby iss muqaam pe laaye h, usse baahar hote hue kaise dekh leti... Kaise bann jaati unki barbaadi ki wajah, agar mujhe mera career aur pyaar dono chahiye toh kaise main unko sirf unke pyaar ko chunta hua dekh sakti hun...
Mana galati thi, maafi bhi maangi na, gid-gidai, royi par unhone mujhe chhodna hi choose kiya, maybe I don't deserve it (by the time she reached the other end of hall, she was heaving & sobbing)Meanwhile Babli & Shaurya
Shaurya - (sighs sadly) mujhe isse aise dekha nahi jaa raha h, mujhe bahut guilty feel ho raha h par isse samjhane ke liye ki sacrifice is not the answer ye sab karna padd raha h..
Babli - mujhe bhi bahut bura lagta h, isse aise dekh kar, pata nahi last kab hasi thi, humesha rona sa muh leke ghumati h... Ye kab tak chalega Shaurya ji ?
Shaurya - (composing himself) bas aaj aapke parents aa jaye aur phir isse hum sab kuchh bata denge, par aap ye dhyaan rakhiye tab tak, ki jo bhi ho uske pasand ka ho...
He who was looking at her all this while noticed she was crying badly & it gave a hurtful pang on his heart seeing her like this & he started walking towards her..
Shaurya to Decorators - yahan phool thhode jyada lagao, though they can't compare to my bride but everything should look beautiful...
Anokhi who heard Shaurya, composed herself & was about to walk away when he called her & she turns to face him...
Shaurya - (playfully) Umm... Miss Bhalla (though she never accepted it but he knows how she hates it whenever he calls her by this salutation post their marriage & he on purpose wants to irk her) vaise this ceremony is going to be attended by close friends & relatives only, par main chahta hun ki aap bhi aayen, aap shagun aur meri dono ki hi student h, and you've made us proud time & again, we'll be honoured to have you as our guest...
(Before she could respond with any negation to his invitation) So I'll take your leave as I'm running a little late, I've to get ready for the event too, ab main apni bride ki barabari toh nahi kar sakta par uske liye efforts toh kar hi sakta hun, after all she loves me a lot ... (he smiles & leaves)
