Marage is always a happy ceremony where everyone enjoys and celebrates the bonding of two persons and well wishes a new beginning of life. But today in this marriage, who is really happy is very hard to say. Sanjana, an established girl of 25 yrs. is going to start her new life with her boyfrnd Raj. They did their registry before. So it was just a social marriage. Sanjana is a govt. employee and she earns a good some money but Raj does not do any accomplished job. Sanjana's family was never ready for this match but they had to give up before their daughter's will. Some family members of Raj were not happy because they did not get enough dowry inspite of a healthy wealth of Sanjana's father. This is why Family members of the both sides were not happy for the marriage in the true sense of it. But what about the new couple? Every girl wants a man who will love her unconditionally and Sanjana is marrying her boyfriend..so she must be very happy... but there was no trace of happiness in her face because she is marrying her boyfriend not her love.........

Raj loves Sanjana but often complains about her change in attitude. Perhaps he has understood Sanjana is just tying a social bond of relation not the bond of mind. Hence, Raj was also not satisfied in his mind. Bt. he was ready for the marriage.

Far from this scene there is another boy who also was waiting for this day and is counting the hours ....Mohit, the boy for whom the day was full of challanges because he has to face the conflict between mind and brain today...In spite of cloud of sadness he has to smile today...Yes this is the Mohit for whom Sanjana is not happy... the love of Sanjana.

The script of this unhappy day was begun almost 10 yrs ago. Mohit who fell in love with Sanjana in his early school days. They spent 1 yr together bt. the immature love did not last too much. Sanjana left Mohit. Mohit did not take the break up easily and he started to hate Sanjana. Gradually Sanjana and Mohit grew up and they were established but there was no kind of communication between them.

But after 8 yrs of their break up time brought them together once again. One fine day Dolly, common friend of Sanjana and Mohit, informed Mohit Sanjana was infected by Dengue and she was admiited in hospital. Perhaps the news made Mohit little bit worry. Though she hated Sanjana bt. he never wished her unhappiness. Bt. the next news broke down Mohit completely..Dolly informed Mohit over phone that Sanjana had passed away. Mohit could not make a single sound..He was unable to even stand properly..He was cursing himself and God for the news..He was just blaming himself and cursing god why did he not get a last chance to see her... that day the hidden love of Mohit for Sanjana bursted from his eyes being tears.Bt. perhaps God was not so cruel.On that very day Dolly again informed that the news was a rumour bt. she was not well and was admitted in ICU..Mohit was so happy by the news of her life that he could not express..He started praying to god for her soon recovery.After few days Mohit got the news of her recovery and arrival at her home from hospital.Dolly asked Mohit to meet Sanjana once at her home bt.Mohit refused that first time bt. agreed later.Ultimately the moment came when the two seprated couple were infront of each other after 8 yrs.
