Sameer stood there shocked and the words, "Sameer Maine tera rishtha Pakka kar diya hai" from Nanaji's mouth was making him more tensed.
He slowly took small steps towards Nanaji and sat besides him. Sameer breaking the silence said, "Nanaji Aap majak kar rahein hai na? Mera rishtha Aap kyu karwaenge? " Nanaji gathering some courage said, "Nahin sameer yeh sach hai Maine sach mein Tera rishtha Pakka kar diya hai"
Sameer who was shocked uttered, "Par Nanaji Aap toh jaante hai ki main abhi shaadi Nahin karna chahtha, main Pehle apni padhayi khatam Karna chahta hu aur Phir factory bhi jaana hai" Nanaji with a brief pause said, "Sameer main yeh Nahin keh rahan ki tu padhayi chhod de aur Phir shaadi mein uljha rahein, par kabhi Na kabhi toh Tujhe shaadi karni hi hogi" Sameer lost his patience and said, "Nanaji agar mujhe abhi karni hoti toh main aapko bata deta, Lekin mujhe yeh shaadi waadi ke problem mein Nahin padhna" Nanaji also shoutingly said, "Sameer Main tumhe puch Nahin rahan hu bata rahan hu" Sameer now bending on his knees and need Nanaji's hand and said, "Nanaji mujhse kuch galti Ho gyi hai kya, aisa kya hua hai jo apna yeh faisala le liya" Nanaji with another pause said, "Naina naam hai uska jisko Maine Tere liye pasand kiya hai, bohot hi pyaari ladki hai aur main samajhta hu ki tum dono ki Jodi bilkul ram sita jaisi Jodi hai, sameer tu usse ek baar mil ke toh dekh Tujhe woh jaroor pasand aayegi" Sameer cutting him said, "Nanaji agar main yeh shaadi ke rishte se khush hi nahin hum toh usse milkar kya karunga, aap samjh Nahin rahein hai na main usse khush rakh paunga aur nahin woh mere saath reh paayegi " Nanaji looked at his eyes, "Sameer tu aisa mat Samajh ki yeh rishtha Nahin teekega, main samjhata hu ki tum dono bohot alag Ho sakte ho par tum dono agar saath raho toh shayad... "
Sameer said, "Nanaji Aap jo kahenge main karunga, par mujhe abhi shaadi Nahin karna" Nanaji quickly exclaimed, "Bachpan Se lekar maine hamesha Teri har icha puri Kari hai, Tera dost bana hu, Tujhe hamesha Sahara diya hai, kya meri yeh aakhri icha Tu Nahin manega " Sameer didn't utter a word and lowered his eyes. Nanaji said, "Dekh main Tujhe force Nahin karunga, yeh Teri hi icha hai jo meri Zid ko mana kar Rahin hai, par main naina ko hi iss ghar ki bahu banaunga" Sameer thinking something and finally said, "Theek hai Nanaji Main iss shaadi ke liye taiyaar hu par meri ek shart hai" Nanaji raised his brows and asked, "Kaisi shart? " Sameer said, "Main nahin chahtha ki iss shaadi ke baare mein kisi aur ko pata chale sirf hamare aur unke parivartan ke bich hi yeh baat rahein" Nanaji said, "Par beta agar hum shaadi ke card batenge aur rishtedaron ko bulayenge toh sabhi ko pata chalega " Sameer quickly said, "Shart yeh hai ki main chahta hu ki hamari shaadi court marriage ke Tarah ho, taaki kisi ko pata Na chale"
Nanaji was shocked hearing his shart, court marriage during those days was not very common and many people were even against it, he didn't know what to say. Nanaji said, "Par sameer!" Sameer said, "Nanaji Maine agar aapki baat maani hai toh Aap bhi mere liye Itna kar sakte hai, sahi waqt aane par Hum sabhi ko bata denge " Nanaji left with no other option agreed to his condition and asked him to come with him the next day to meet the bride's family.





The next morning, naina woke up with the sun rays falling on her face, she got ready and went to study. At sharp 8:00AM Nanaji had called tauji and told him that today in the evening he would come with his grandson. As Tauji told this news to the others, all started working for the preparations for the arrival of the Maheshwari's. The ladies were working in the kitchen to prepare delicious dishes for their soon to be damadji and Afcourse samdhiji. Anand had ordered some soft drinks for the evening, preeti had come there to help her sister and Arjun was setting the living room.




Preeti entered the room and saw naina who was fidgeting with her dupatta. Preeti asked, "Kya hua behn, Ab toh Tera rishtha Pakka Ho gya hai, aur aaj Jijaji bhi aane wale hai" Naina looked at her and said, "Preeti par yeh  rishtha toh majboori mein hoga rahan hai, Nanaji meri madad Karna chahte the Isliye unhone shaadi ke rishthe ke liye ha kardi" Preeti retorted, "Tu pagal hai kya Nanaji chahte the ki unke ghar ki bahu Tujhe bane aur unke bete ki saath Tera mile,yeh sab meri hi galti hai agar mein uss din Nanaji ko kuch batati Nahin woh hi acha tha" Naina said, "Isme Teri koi galti Nahin hai, kismat hi hame majboor kar deti hai" Both were silent for a minute or so. Naina then exclaimed, "Agar main unhe pasand Nahin aayi toh? " Preeti hit her head and said," Koi pagal hi hoga jise tu pasand Nahin aayegi, Ab in sab baton ko bhul ja chal mein Teri madad kar deti hu" Both the girls moved towards the cupboard, naina showed her different salwar Kurta which preeti rejected and they both had an argument. Hearing the noises Bela rushed to the room and shouted, "Kya chila chaut kar rahein ho tum dono" Naina said, "Chachiji dekhiye naina preeti ko inme se ek bhi kapde pasand hi nahin aa rahein! " Preeti also said, "Mummy Aap hi batao ladkewale dekhenge toh kuch special hona chahiye naina! " Bela thought for a minute and said, " Aao tum dono mere saath" The girls and Bela headed to Anand and Bela's bedroom. Bela opened the suitcase and picked up a brown packet and said," Ye le Maine bumbai Se Tere liye hi Kharida tha, aaj Tu isse pehnegi toh Bohot sundar lagegi" Naina took the package and they two went to her room again.




After an hour or so, naina was all decked up in a red Saree with yellow border and beautifully embroidered. Bela saw her and put a Kala ticka on her chin saying, "Nazar na lage meri naina ko" Preeti exclaimed, "Ha ha isse bahar lage aur mujhe lage haina?" And all three bursted out laughing till they heard taiji's voice from outside. Bela headed out while preeti continued styling her hair.
Nearly at 6:00 PM Nanaji and Sameer left the Maheshwari mansion along with Ramdhari and munshiji, whilst they all carried the sweets and shagun which they need to give to the bride and her family. The bell rang, Anand opened the gate and welcomed jayprakash ji and Sameer and also told Ramdhari and munshiji to come in. They all seated, sameer toucged the elders feet as instructed by Nanaji.  Sameer was all decked in a cream shade Kurta and his hair flying in the air. The ladies came outside and greeted them. Sameer though not interested in the conversation smiled in between to indicate his presence in the conversation. Preeti also came outside, touched Nanaji's feet and said a hi to her soon to be Jijaji. He too smiled looking at her. Tauji talked about preeti's in laws and her husband. Sameer after hearing her husband's name told them that shubham is working in their factory and he is on a good post plus just a month ago he got promoted. Shubham shared a good bond with Sameer. Nanaji asked the agarwal about naina and she was called out.
Naina came in the living room with a tray in her hands. Sameer looked at her, and thought about Nanaji's words, "ladki bohot sundar hai aur tumhara saath bhi degi".He got out from his thoughts when naina passed him a cup of tea. He again thought, "saari ladkiyan ek jaisi hi hoti hai ekdum matlabi, yeh konsi alag nikalegi" Nanaji introduced naina to Sameer telling him her qualifications and how much she had succeeded in academics, but seemed like he was least interest but still pretended as he was listening. Naina found him strange, she thought Dikhne mein toh kaafi ache hai par Itna ajeeb vyavahar kyu kar rahein hai. These thoughts were struggling in both the bride's and the groom's mind.




After having other discussions Rakesh took a start and said, "Jayprakash ji, rishte ke liye toh theek hai, par ab Aap yeh bhi bata dijiye ki Aap hamesha Kitna umeed kar rahein hai?" Both Sameer and Nanaji was confused hearing his hidden words. Seeing their confused look, Tauji said, "Jayprakash ji woh Rakesh dahej ke baare mein puch rahein hai! " Nanaji retorted, "Nahin Nahin Rakesh Bhaisaab hum dahej ke maang mein Nahin hai aur humare hisab se yeh gunaah hai, aap bas hame apni beti de" Rakesh was feeling the most happiest. After all he didn't have to spend money on her marriage. While Anand and Bela thought that naina was so lucky to have a family like this.
Nanaji after taking a brief pause said to Tauji, "Jagdish ji baaki sab toh theek hai par sameer chahta tha ki hum in dono ki court marriage karwaye. " The agarwals were shocked as never in their family there had been a court marriage and they found it as a stupid idea. Taiji spoke, "Oh Bai, cart marriage par Bhaisaab hamare yahan yeh Sab nahin maana.... " Tauji cut her and said, "Beena! Dekhiye jayprakash ji baat Aisi hai ki hamare parivar mein court marriage ko sahi Nahin maana jaanta, Hum yeh samajhte hai ki parivar rishte ko chupana chahte hai, aur agar maan lijiye agar Humne inki court mein shaadi kar va bhi di, par Hum naina ko aapke ghar par Nahin bhej paayenge! Hamare liye saat phere aur mangalsutra, sindoor se hi shaadi maani jaati hai." Anand further spoke, "agar Aisi hi baat hai toh hum aisa karte sakte hai ki inki court marriage agle hafte ki tarrik mein Karwa dete hai, aur char paach mahine ke baad muhrat nikalna par Hum naina ko bidai kar de" Tauji and Taiji found this idea a waste as they wanted to send naina to her sasural as soon as possible but this demand from the groom's side was rather problematic but they accepted Anand's idea which made a sense and Afcourse the groom's family was not asking for dahej so at least they need to accept this. Sameer took this as an opportunity to postpone the marriage said, "Chachaji theek toh keh rahein hai waise bhi abhi college shuru Nahin hua hai toh hum dono ko padhne ka mauka bhi mil jayega, haina Nanaji." Nanaji nodded a yes but was still worried as to keep naina in this house was suffocating for her as well as for him. Now there was a complete different atmosphere at the agarwal house. Taiji, Tauji was unhappy as they need to tolerate naina in this house for a long period of time, Anand bela were happy as their niece's marriage had been fixed and they still had some time to spend with her because after that they have to leave for Bombay. Nanaji was worried for naina's state. Sameer was a little happy as he was able to postpone the marriage while naina sat there motionless it was hard for her to believe what was happening in the house.
