Next morning, 6:00 a.m,
In Birla house, Neirohi’s room, 

The alarm on aarohi’s phone was beeping so loudly but aaru didn't wake up instead Neil’s sleep was broked by the alarm.
Neil:(irritated and in half sleep) Chipkali......alarm band karo.... aarohi....
Aarohi didn't responded as she was still asleep. Neil just wakes and sits on the bed babbling to himself “ alarm chipkali ne lagaya tha.... Par dekho ab bhi aaram se soo rahi hai..... ( Neil starring her) waise soo te wakt chipkali kitni shaant aur cute lag rahi hai... Isse neend se uthane ka maan toh bilkul nahi ho raha.... ” as Neil was busy in his thoughts and starring aaru, the alarm again started buzzing. Aaru woke up and the first thing she sees is that Neil is just sitting and starring her.
Aaru: chamgadar..... Aise ghur kya rahe ho.....  Aur bed par baithne se alarm band nahi hoga....
Neil: chipkali... mujhe bhi pata hai ki bed par baithe rehne se alarm nahi bandh hota hai.... par tumhare phone ka alarm baj raha hai.... toh tum band karo....
Aaru: Neil subah-subah irritate maat karo please.... ek toh aaj bohot busy day hai mera...nashta bana hai.... tilak ki tayari karni hai.... yeh saree pehni hai... mandir jana hai.....phir ghar aakar  engagement ki tyariya karni hai...
Neil: toh main kaunsa free baitha hu.... mujhe bhi bohot sare kaam hai.... so main toh jaa rahu nahane tum aapna schedule banate baithi raho......
Aaru: (irritated)chamgadar ruko.... mujhe jaana tha pehele...
(He rushed towards the bath room to take shower before her)

At Birla house, Living room,
7:30 a.m,
Bua dadi: chalo sab.... jaldi karo 8:15 ka muhurat hai... Anisha beta ready ho....
Anisha: haa bilkul..... main toh kab se ready hoon Kairav se shaadi karne ke liye....
Abhi and Neil: anisha... thoda sharma le teri shaadi ka first function hai....
Anisha: main nhi sharma ti.... waise bhi meri konsi arranged marriage hai....
Parth:
Manjiri: bas bohot baateyin hogyi....Abhi aur Neil yeh saaman gaadi main rakhva do... aur parth gadi nikalo jaldi.....
Mahima: Haa vaise bhi agar raaste main traffic mili toh late ho jayenge....
Manjiri: Neil tum aur aarohi bike se aajao vaise bhi itne log 2 gaadiyon main nhi jaa sakenge....aaru tum swarna ji ko call kar ke bata do ki hum nikal gaye hai mandir ke liye....
Neil and Aarohi: okay...maa
(As aaru sits on the they both remember the night time bike ride and ice cream date)

Everyone reached in time and then kairav and anisha gave their first wedding invitation to the Gods and at mandir the family did the tilak of the couple, congratulated them and feed sweets to each other.
Mimi: Tilak toh bohot aache se hua hai bua ji.... aise hi sare rasmo-rivaj se baacho shaadi bhi ho jaye jaldi...lekin ab hum chalte hai...  engagement ki bohot tyariya baki hai....
Bua dadi ji: haa bilkul... shaadi bhi bade dhum-dham se hogi.... hum bhi chalte hai... hume bhi tayariya karni hai kal ke liye....
(Everyone sits in the car and bike except anisha and kairav)
Anisha: chalo shaadi ka first step complete... main toh bohot excited hu..
Kairav: abhi bohot steps baki hai anisha...
(Mid conversation Shefali calls anisha)
Shefali: chalo anisha sab wait kar rahe hai... tumhare pass puri zindagi hai kairav se baateyin karne ke liye....kairav tumhara hi hai ab....
Anisha: haa bhabhi aa rahi hu..... (kissing kairav on cheeks) bye... kairav..
Kairav: (blushing)uh... bye.. byee
Anisha: (waving towards kairav)byeee
Shefali: anisha chalo...... kairav ko tumhara 'bye' mil gaya... ab chale ghar....
Anisha: (blushes) haa bhabhi...chalo....

Next day,
At Birla House, 1:30 p.m,
All are in the living room busy doing preparation for engagement. Akshu was making rangoli, aaru and shefali were in kitchen cooking lunch, Anisha went to the parlour, Parth, Neil and Abhimanyu were in charge of the decorations and food arrangements for the evening.
Bua ji: Mahima... jo anguthi pehena ni hai woh toh aa gyi hai na jewellers se...
Mahima: haa... bua ji...
Bua ji: Toh anguthi apne paas sambhal kar rakhna...Aur manjiri teeno bahu se khedena ki tayariya bohot aache se honi chahiye...
Manjiri: ji.. bua ji... tayaari bohot aache se hi hogi...
(Then aaru enters in mid conversation saying that ki 'khaan ready hai')
Aaru: bua ji, maa, tayi ji.... khana ready hai.... shefali bhabhi ne toh plates bhi lagadi hai...
(Everyone goes to the dining table as they are preparing for the event from morning and are very hungry.)
Akshu: bhabhi aap baitho... main aur aaru serve karte hai...
(Shefali sits, and akshu and aaru were serving food, and suddenly while aaru was serving to bua ji, she grabbed aarohi’s hand)
Bua ji: (angrily) aarohi... ye kya hai...
Aaru: (confused) bua dadi ji... ye toh bangles hai...
Bua ji: woh mujhe bhi dikh raha hai...(hints towards her finger) yeh tumhari engagement ki anguthi kidhar hai?.....
(Everyone gets tensed and worried as Neil and Aarohi weren't married and so there was no engagement ring or ceremony.)
Akshu: bua dadi ji... wohh... aaru(bua ji stops her)
Bua ji: kya tumhara naam 'Aarohi' hai?... Akshara....maine sawal aarohi se pucha hai... toh jawab bhi woh hi degi...
(Aaru looks towards Neil, he try to tell her something with gestures but she doesn't understand, so she has to come up with her own excuse)
Aaru: woh.. woh... ring main study table pe rakh ke bhol gayi pehena... actually kal raat ko notes bana rahi thi toh pen ki ink lek ho gayi... aur ring kharab na ho isilye nikali thi... haina Neil....
Neil: haa... bilkul.... woh pen bohot cheap quality ka thaa...
Manjiri: Neil... tujhe kitni bar bolu ki sasti chize maat le...
Aaru: maa.... pen actually maine laya tha...
Akshu: aaru tu kabse saste pen use karne lagi... aise pen maat use kar....
Aaru: haa... phekdiya woh pen...
(Everyone acting like it's pen's fault)
Bua ji: baas karo... kabse 'pen-pen-pen' laga rakha hai... aarohi yaad se anguthi pehen lena... chal ab tu bhi khana kane baith jaa... Akshara tu bhi baith... khana thanda ho jayega....
