The whole mandap is surrounded by very few guests. Probably 25 to 30 guests perhaps. Arohi and Arjun sat on the mandap but they looked dejected. While on the other hand, Anshu's eyes are sad. He pleaded and begged Kia, but she still didn't make it to any of the pre-wedding ceremonies of Arjun and Arohi.

" She said she will be the head of our wedding, Arjun. She will come. Don't be dejected." Arohi consoled while she doesn't have any hopes. The guests have Arjun's and Arohi's parents, Kia's parents, the Tiwaris (Arohi and Arjun's neighbours who helped Arohi during her pregnancy), Arjun's 3 friends, his manager, Arohi's manager and a few closely knitted people. But there is no sight of Kia.
" Mantri Sahab!" Arjun called lowly and he walked to Arjun. Though Anshu's eyes are towards the entrance, his ears are towards what his father is speaking.
" Abhi tak Kia nahi aayi?" He asked and her father don't know what to answer.
" Kahi thi ki koi urgent kaam main fasi hai. Main abhi call karta hoon. Aap chinta math kijiye." He said and called Kia which automatically said that the mobile is switched off.
On the other side, Kia sat in a corner and is crying. Her whole body is shaking. She looked at her mobile and she knew many people are trying to call her and one of them is the man from whom she bought the property.
" Kia, Kia?" Arif shrieked shaking her.
" Your father called me Kia. He said he wants you at home right now. He sounds angry." Benny spoke.
" How can I have that property when I'm unable to pay him those 26 lakhs, Benny? He trusted me and gave me the time of a month. I'm unable to arrange the money." Kia cried and Zuha hugged her looking at Arif concerned.
" Will you shut up Kia? I came here to tell you that your painting is sold. They liked it very much that they offered 32 lakhs for it." Arif yelled and Kia immediately stopped crying.
" Really?" She asked as if nothing happened.
" Hmmm." Zuha answered.
" Benny, I'll give you the bank details. Please transfer the 26 lakhs to that account. Immediately." Kia requested holding Benny's hands. He nodded gently and patted her cheek. She switched on her mobile and there are 83 missed calls in total. The surprising thing is there is not even a single missed call from the owner. The highest missed calls are from Anshu. She sighed in relief when she saw Benny successfully complete the transaction. She dropped a message to the ex-owner and grinned.
" I feel like eating the wedding food. Come, let's go." She immediately got up and looked at her mobile camera.
" Fuck, I look ugly. I need to be the best at Arjun's wedding." She said and everyone looked at her like she is bipolar. Everyone started at the venue but ended up in Kia's house.
