IN SHARMA HOUSE, PUNE

"But Mom... Arrange marriage??? Seriously??? I mean.... Why do you guys are so desperate to get rid of me???" An annoyed Gauri asked her parents

Sunday was supposed to be a peaceful day at home for Gauri... but at the moment she is sitting here with a frown... having her breakfast with her parents who just broke the news that she have to meet a guy next week... obviously for her marriage purpose...her parents Harsh and Nisha Sharma has talked to his parents and fixed their meeting.

Nisha - Beta... didn't we asked you if you're seeing someone???

Gauri(annoyed) - you did...I have told you that there's nobody...and that's true...

Harsh, Gauri's father tries to convince his daughter

Harsh - Then what's the problem?  We aren't telling you to marry him tomorrow... But beta atleast meet him Naa.... I m sure you will like him... and You know we will not force you... Decision will be purely yours. Just meet him once...

Gauri sighs... There's no way she can escape this... she sighs and said... "Ok fine...I will meet him.... and I hope you guys haven't choose one of those Uncle type guys"

Her parents chuckled...

Nisha(smiling) - Why don't you see yourself...??? (placing the picture infront of Gauri) here it is.... Omkara

Gauri chuckles at her father's remark....and focusing back to her breakfast... She said with disinterest...

"dad... please... if you are done with this... I would like to eat my remaining food peacefully..."

While on the other side....

IN OBEROI MANSION, MUMBAI

"But Dad... Marriage?? All of a sudden...we can think of it few years later..." Omkara said, he doesn't even want to get married in the first place but there's no way he can make his parents understand this fact.

Tej - Son... Even if we ask you same question after 30 years...your answer will be the same...

Om - but arrange marriage is not my thing...

Jhanvi - if you don't have any girlfriend that's not our fault... You know we don't mind if you see someone by yourself... But the problem is... You are not...

Om - uff.. it's not like that... It's just.. I am just waiting for that right person...that's it...

Tej(with concern) - Om... Beta that's why we took this decision... We aren't telling you to rush anything... Take your time... Meet her... Try to know each other... Then decide by yourself. That's it...

Jhanvi(excitedly) - And you're going to live in Pune for three months... Utilize it Om...

Om looked at His parents in disbelief... how accurately they have planned everything.

Om - Okay... Now I get it... that's why Dad is sending me to Pune for our new project... Because that girl leaves in Pune... Wow Dad...very smart...

Tej was looking at Om just like a deer caught in the light...
