Decorated with strings of fairy lights of golden and white light, along the branches and trunk of the trees, and green carpet of grass was sprinkled with golden foil streamer, the lawn of the haveli looked different tonight. A hammock was hung with the support of two adjoining decorated tree, and a small screen was hung down as a background with various pictures of Swati and Munna from their school till the present time. Near the base of each tree, two pink foil balloon was tucked with Happy Anniversary written on it.

At the center a medium sized metal round table was placed, which was for the dinner purpose for the five couples. And on the left, a small stage was set up in case someone wants to say or do something.

Naina: Sameer Ji, kitna sundar sajaya hai na. Aissa lag hi nahi raha ki, yeh wohi lawn hai jahan apne kal subah mujhe itna accha surprise diya tha.

Sameer smiled seeing her excitement, and nodded his head in agreement.

Sameer: Jab aap kisi se bahut zyada pyaar karte ho na, toh usse best dene ki chaah mein koi kasar nahi chodte. Aur natize mein aisse sundar result aa jaate hai.

"Bilkul sahi kaha tune, Sameer''

Samaina turned around and found Ruhaan standing there along with Purvi, with a evil smile on his face. He was wearing black shirt and beige trousers with a beige blazer. While Purvi was giving her beautiful smile and looked pretty in the peach pink silk saree.

Ruhaan: Pyaar mein woh kashish hai jo kisiko bhi majboor kar deta hai, apni limits push karne ke liye. Ab mujhe hi dekh lijiye. Jab pehli baar maine Purvi ko dekha tha, toh ussi din mere dil ne mujhe keh diya tha ki yeh hi hai, jo mere berang zindagi mein saare rang bhar degi aur mere saath saath Rohan ko bhi sambhalegi. Toh bas, main iske peeche peeche ghumna shuru kardiya aur aaj yeh meri wife hai.

Ruhaan's words had colored Purvi's face, and she was blushing like a new bride. She looked at Ruhaan with pride and wrapped her arms around him.

Purvi: Aap hai hi itne acche, main aapse bina pyaar kiye reh nahi payi. Aur jhat se aapke saath chali aayi.

Sameer was happy seeing Purvi's love for Ruhaan but the conversation he had with Ruhaan few hours ago, played in his mind and he felt pity on her, as she was thinking that her husband loves her. Whereas Naina started wondering that if someday, she would be able to fall in love with Sameer or not. She would be able to reciprocate the same feeling, care and emotions like him, or he has to stay unloved and have these emotions missing from his life forever.

Ruhaan: Chaliye, chalke baithte hai. Baakiyon ke aane tak, hum charon baatein kar lete hai.

Ruhaan and Purvi sat down, and found Samaina still standing in their places.

Purvi: Naina ji! Sameer ji! Aayiye na....

Sameer looked at her, and signalled her to move first, and he is behind her. Sameer pulled a chair for her, and kept the pallu lying on the floor on her lap, to save it from getting dirty. And sat next to her, holding her hand softly as he knew she would be feeling quite uncomfortable around Ruhaan. She looked at their hands, and smiled warmly at him.

Purvi: Waise ek baat kahun.....aap dono ko dekhke lagta nahi hai ki aap dono ki arranged marriage hai. I mean, bahut comfortable hai aap dono ek dusre ke saath.

Naina: Woh isliye, kyunki Sameer Ji bahut understanding aur caring hai. Jabse humari shaadi tay huyi hai, tabse se humesha woh mere saath acche se pesh aaye hai. Kabhi bhi jabardasti nahi ki aur na hi apni marzi thopi hai mujhpar. Bahut baar mere bin bole, inhone mere liye bahut kuch kiya hai, aur meri ankahi baaton ko samjha hai. Toh unke saath comfortable hona mere liye asaan hogaya.
