Bihaan who was deep in his sleep, got disturbed by a scream. He quickly opened his eyes and noticed Thapki sitting in the bed looking at the wall with a scared look on her face. He quickly got closer to her and shook her by her arm.

Bihaan: "Thapki... Thapki... Wat happened Thapki?"

Thapki did not respond for the first few seconds but as soon as she realised Bihaan's presence, she quickly and very tightly hugged him. Bihaan comforted her for few seconds and then asked.

Bihaan: "Did u have a bad dream?"

Thapki (in a very low voice) "Yes"

Bihaan wanted to know wat scared her that much but decided to give her some time to recover first. 


He himself was a victim of bad dreams all his life so he knew how one feels right after waking up from a nightmare.

After some time when he realised that Thapki had calmed down, he inquired her abt her dream. Thapki wanted to tell him the truth but she knew that mention of Dhruv will make Bihaan upset so she lied saying she saw herself falling from a high cliff. Bihaan put her head on his chest and put her to sleep while assuring her that he is with her and nthg bad can ever happen to her in his presence.

Since the announcement of Preeti's gaud bharai, the whole female gang was mostly found around Dadi having discussion abt the day. This time again the whole female gang was sitting in Dadi's room taking instructions from Dadi abt everything. For a change this time, Dadi had given the food duties to Kiran and Sheena. Suman was responsible for the invitation list where as Vasu was handling the things which were important for the main rituals. Thapki for a change was given the duties of decorating the house. Thapki was feeling very excited abt it. Dadi told her to go to store and make a list of the items that were already there. She hurriedly left to do her task.

She was in the store when Bihaan returned home. He asked Preeti abt Thapki and she told her abt Thapki's current location. Bihaan decided to meet her there.

Thapki was busy opening a box to see wat's in it when a small rat jumped out of it and started running towards a safe corner. Thapki screamed and started running out when she collided with Bihaan who was just entering the store. She could have fallen but Bihaan's tight grip stopped her from having a bad fall.

Bihaan: "Be careful Thapki... U could have fallen and hurt urself so bad if I had not come to catch u"

Thapki: "U always save me from getting hurt. Please be always there for me like this so that I never get hurt"

Bihaan wanted to seal the promise with a kiss but got interrupted by Suman's "ahem ahem" who was just passing by the store. Bihaan and Thapki both hurriedly left the store while Suman's laughter followed them.

Dhruv and Shradha were sitting in an expensive restaurant. Dhruv was having coffee while Shradha was taking small sips from the glass of fresh orange juice.

Shradha: "Our date tonight reminded me of the old times before our marriage. We used to come to this restaurant a lot"

Dhruv: "And before that we used to go for our shopping trips like today"

Shradha: "Ya that too but y it seems that we have grown apart since last few months. It seems that everything has changed"

Dhruv: "Nthg has changed. Its just that we have become so busy in our lives that we do not have much time to spend together"
