(She was about to approach rag's hand but someone stopped her... )(She was about to approach rag's hand but someone stopped her... )

Let's begin...

It was non other than dada...

Dada: (holding dadi's hand) bass karo Parvati... Or chalo yaha se...

Dadi: par ji mhari poti... Mai isse chhod kar kahi na aungi (looking at Ragini) chal ladoo ghar chal... Ghar jake baat karte hai beta... Chal...

(Trying to take out her hand from dada Ji's grip)...

Dada: bass karo parvati... N chalo athe se... (Dragged her from there)...

Dadi: (trying to protest) ji rukiye... Chhodiye... Mai mhari ladoo ko leke he jaungi aaj... (Looking towards rag) ladoo... Sunn mhari baat... Chal beta mhare sath... Bata thare dadaji ko ke tu meri ladoo ho...

But dadaji takes her back from there...

After they left...

Renu: ragu chal kha le kuch... Med bhi lene hai tuze... Chal...

Rag finally came out of shock... Gave renu an assuring smile and sat for breakfast with everyone...

Everyone was quite... No one was actually eating anything... Rag finally came back to reality and realised that everyone is lost... So to lighten up things she spoke...

Rag: Kya ho gaya hai... Aap sab etna mu katkar kyu baithe ho... Aapko muze dekh kr khushi nahi hue lagta hai... Mai kal aayi hu tab se aap sab sad he hai... This is not done yaar... Mere Bhai n Didi's ke shaadi hai yaar... Etni sab tayari karni hai... Aap sab aise bhoot ban jaogey toh sab kaam kaise honge...

Everyone were looking towards rag...

Renu: par ragu teri health bhi toh sahi nahi hai... Fir sab kaise...

Rag: are aai kya hua hai muze... Dekho ekdam thik hu mai... Waise bhi life mai jo log matter nahi kartey unpe time waste karne kya matlab... Unke hone na hone se muze kuch fark nahi padta... Ha kal thoda shock ho gayi thi achanak sab flashback aa Gaye unko yaha dekh ke... Bur I have released one thing ke jitna mai unko khud ko affect karne dungi utna woh unki jit ke gavai dega... N I'm not gonna let that happen... I'll show them that they don't mean a thing to me... N I'm happy without them in my life...

Everyone looked with pride in their eyes feeling proud of their daughter...

Rag: toh bolo kab hai shaadi... Don't tell me aapne abhi tak kuch nahi kiya... Bolo...

Raj: bhala hamari jaan ke bina kuch kar sakte the ham ... Aab tu aa gayi hai na toh sab hoga woh bhi tere pasand se...

Druv: sahi kaha shaadi ke date se leke...

Darsh: shaadi ke decoration...

Naksh: shaadi ke location...

Kirti: shopping...

Kinjal: jewellery...

Kavita: kapde...

All together: sab kuch hamari jaan ke hisab se hoga...

Everyone looked happy... But one person seemed lost... It was uttara...
Rag noticed it...

Rag: uttu di what's wrong... Aapki bhi toh shaadi hai kya aap excited nahi ho...?

Uttu: aisi baat nahi hai ragu... Mai bass kuch soch rhi thi...

Raj: agar apne gharwalo ko bulane ka soch rahi hai toh woh khayal dimag mai he rakhna juban pe maat lana...

Rag: kyu bhala kyu na laye... Unke mom dad hai... Unko pura haak hai iss sab ke baremai janne ka...
Uttu di kya aap apne Ghar jake baat karna chahati hai...?

Uttu: tysm ragu for understanding... Ha woh mere mom dad hai but hamari shaadi ke baremai decide karne ka haak bass tuze hai... Toh tu bass date nikal mai baki sambhal lungi...

Rag: (understanding it's better to not agitate this topic more made mental note of talk about this with uttu later)...
Toh der kis baat ke... Mom aap Panditji ko bulao aaj he shaadi ke date fix karenge... Mai tab tak fresh hoke aati hu...

Everyone had their bf n dispersed to get ready... Meanwhile renu called pandit ji n invited him over as well...

While going up rag saw uttu n Raj taking... When raj left away in anger ragu approached uttu...

Seeing rag coming uttu wiped her tears n put on a fake smile...

Rag: uttu di... Kya baat hai...

Uttu: are ragu tu yaha kya kar rahi hai ja jake ready ho ja...

Rag: uk uh can't hide things from me right... N ye fake smile toh muze bilkul maat dijiye... Bolo kya baat hai... Bhai ne kuch kaha hai aapse... Aap bass bolo muze mai unki class leti hu but aise sad maat ho... Shaadi hai yaar aapki...

Listening to shaadi word uttu couldn't control n broke down in tears hugging ragu...

Ragu calmed her down n took her to her room...

Rag: (after she calmed down gave her a glass of water)... Batao kya baat hai...

Uttu: ragu I'm sorry ik tuze ye sunke acha nahi lagega... But kuch bhi ho hai toh woh meri family he na... N kon ladki apni family ka sath nahi chahegi apne shaadi ke din pe... Mai bass Raj se mom dad ko invite karne ke req kar rahi thi but he's not ready...
Like I'm seriously sorry ragu jyada time nahi bass thoda time he unko bulane ke liye manva lo na pls Raj ko jyada nahi bass kanyadan karne tak ruk jayenge woh fir mai khud unko wapas bhej dungi... Pls ragu pls... Bass etna kar de mere liye...
(Joining her hands req ragu she ended up tearing again)...

Rag: shushhh di rona band karo pehele toh aap... Bass etni si baat ke liye koi rota hai bhala... Akhir aapki shaadi bhi toh hai aapko bhi apni choice n decisions lene ka pura haak hai... N sorry kyu bol rahi ho aap... Are woh aapke mom dad hai unko pura haak hai aapki shaadi pure dil se enjoy karne ka...
Aap bass aaj ghar jao n sab se baat karo... N sirf kanyadan nahi puri shaadi n usse related har ek function mai aapki family ko hone ka pura haak hai... Jao n unse sab sort karo... Mai hu na... Mai dekhti hu kon rokega aapko... Aap bindass jao n unko milke aao n pure haak se shaadi ke sari functions mai present hone ka bolke aao... Baki sab mai sambhal lungi...

Uttu: tysm ragu for understanding me... I promise unki wajase koi bhi problem hue tuze toh mai khud unko nikal dungi... I promise...

Rag: shushhh apni hone wali SIL ko koi ty bolta hai kya bhala... Chalo ye rona band karo abhi...

Renu: (calling them out from downstairs)...
