The mehendi and Sangeet were organised on the same day. The Henna artist was applying Mehendi on her hands, the songs were playing and everyone was dancing. She sees her father speaking with the guests while her mother looks at the food arrangements.

She called one of her cousins and whispered something in his ear.

He agrees and goes towards the sound system, he changes the music.

"Badan pe sitare lapate hue..."

Vineet and Ruhana listens and their eyes became wide. Vineet stares at Manvi and she smiles "go.." she says.

Vineet refuses, Manvi stands up and pulls him to the centre. "Come on papa.. Mere sangeet mein nahi dance karoge apne favourite gaane pe toh kab karoge?" she asked.

"Tumhari maa na raat ko mujhe couch pe sulayegi phir" Vineet said.

"Aisa kuch nahi karengi mumma

"Aisa kuch nahi karengi mumma.." Manvi insists and he finally agrees.

He pulls Ruhana and dances around her

Badan pe sitare lapete hue,

O jaan-e-tamanna kidhar ja rahi ho

Zara paas aao to chain aa jaaye,

Zara paas aao to chain aa jaaye

Ruhana smiles sheepishly.

Hamin jab na honge, to aye dilruba,

Kise dekh kar, haaye, sharamaaogi

Na dekhogi phir tum kabhi aaina,

Hamare bina roz ghabaraaogi

He pulls her into his embrace while Manvi adores her parents and finally enjoys her sangeet and Mehendi without worrying about the arrangements.

She whistles after the music end and shouts "once more.."

Ruhana moves towards her and pulls her along. She kisses her forehead and looks at her teary. She takes her balaye and Manvi smiles with tears brimming down her eyes.

"Kya mumma.. Aapko dance karne ko kaha tha mujhe emotional karne ke liye nahi" she said.

Ruhana hits her forehead from behind, Vineet said "mannu ab chup chap baithke mehendi lagwalo.. Sabko ghar bhi jaana hai"

Manvi sits down and enjoys the function. She closes her eyes and prays "Kanhaji mere jaane ke baad mere mumma papa ke khayal rakhne ki zimmedari aapki hai.. Sambhal lena unhe"

The function ends, a few ladies stays back to clear up the mess and arrange back the hall to the original as all the pre-wedding rituals had ended. Manvi wanted to help but her Mehendi hasn't dried yet.

"Kaki wo saaman waha rah gaya hai usko mandir mein rakh dijiye" Manvi said.

"Haan beta rakh rahi hun.. Acha tumne apna saman pack kiya?" Sharda asked.
