Hututu tu ru ru
Hututu tu ru ru
Mann paheli hai unsuljha
Besawadi si zindagani mein
Namak banke tu ghulja

Naya din chadh gaya
Sooraj naya nikal gaya
Zameen badli nahi
Toh aasman badal gaya

Days had passed and While Vihaan was busy keeping Naina all occupied with her preparations for the Interview as she was in last leg of her preparation and needed to be focused, there parents were busy matching their kundalis and planning on other things to go ahead. There's a saying about Indian marriages that in India not only two individuals marry but the two families get married as well. A lot has to be taken into consideration. Now when Naina and Vihaan had given a go ahead the families only waited for Naina who was about to give the personality test in a month.

Meanwhile the extended families and Rishtedaar's were being involved for there not so valuable inputs as the Sharma's and Shukla's had made there mind to get the girl and boy married at any cost, rest all was a formality to satisfy the big ego usually these 'dearest' of relatives have. Sharad Shukla father of Vihaan Shukla was busy having word's with Vihaan's tau ji, chacha ji and maama ji while Aditi Shukla was dealing with the bossy jhetani(elder sister in law) and devrani(younger sister in law) as they were like ladki itni bhi koi khaas nahi hai aur humare Vihaan ke aage kuch bhi nahi hai aur koi Mel hi nahi hai dono ka.
On the other hand at Naina's place new siyappa had taken place as her tau ji had some serious issue with kundalis and had somehow found a flaw to declare the match unfit and call off the marriage on cards. That was enough to give pain to Yash and Sunaina both who somehow had begun to smile a little in past few months. Having a daughter at home with increasing age and marital status as unmarried in Indian society, that too in middle class families is a matter of concern as it's considered a societal obligation to be fulfilled duly in time. Else both the parents and the child get's several names from society and eventually also becomes a topic for gossip in mahila mandlis. Here the societal obligation wasn't a matter of concern to Yash and Sunaina but the fact that they were asked to call off the marriage of their daughter who was finally beginning to live and bloom again after years, moreover was at a point in life where she was few steps away from her dreams to be fulfilled. They both knew that she was more lively because of Vihaan, as after meeting him there was a shift in her mannerism and her approach to life and she was growing in all spheres. They were lost and in fear of losing her once again with breaking this news to Naina.

Naina and Vihaan were in regular touch with each other as and when possible and weren't aware of this circus going on at there back as neither Vaani had told Vihaan anything nor had Addu told Naina anything. Vihaan wasn't in a posting with much of action so was able to give attention to Naina and also even was helping her for the interview as well as to fight her anxiety pangs. They had really gelled so well that none could figure out they had only met few months ago. Something's in life are destined to be in a certain manner and this was one such thing unfolding in there lives slowly giving them all the time to blossom.

One day finally Naina got to know about the tensions going on in her family and was in shock that how was she unaware of it despite being there among them all the time. She listened to whole of the matter from her mother and went to her room upstairs. She bolted her room from inside and wept silently while lying on her bed with her face into a pillow.
She wasn't desperate for marriage and wasn't even on her cards but it came to her and brought a nice human in her life on whom she had just begun to trust and rely. He was beginning to become an integral part of her life and was a dear friend to her found back after years who was able to understand her like no one could. She didn't wanted to lose Vihaan now because of this whole marriage and match making thing. She felt like once again she lost her world right before entering into it. She was restless all day and couldn't focus on her studies for the day.
Luckily that day was the one when Vihaan wasn't going to call as he was busy with some routine work at base and Naina was trying to think straight while putting her pieces together to not to fall apart after reaching so close to her dream turning into a reality, a beautiful reality to last longer with her.
She remembered what Vihaan had told her about his training in academy one day while discussing her fears, he had said "Naina we guys were made to go through hell in our training days before we were made ready to join our designated posting as our ustaad believed that the more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in war , you too have to prepare like that so that you face it all confidently in your personality test. Give it all Naina as this is your shot to have a life of your choice"
