"I think hame Grayson aur Sameeksha ki shaadi ka chance le lena chahiye" Swarali said, "yaar tumhara upar ka floor khali hai kya?" Abhishek asked. "Abhishek mind your lang..." Swarali was saying. "Swarali baat ko samjho! Bandana aur Ethan ko leke me sure hu, unke lie solution hai mere pass, aur woh pakka kaam karega" Abhishek explained, "Grayson aur Sameeksha ke lie hame kucch aur sochna padega" He said. She sighed.
"Can I say something?" Grayson asked politely, Abhishek nodded moving his gaze to Grayson. "Bandana and E are getting married because she has the powers to protect him. I'm Ethan's twin brother. Won't Bandana protect me indirectly if she gets married to Ethan?" He asked. Abhishek nodded slowly, "and what about Sameeksha?" He asked. Grayson kept quiet.
"Exactly! That would work. If Grayson is safe, Sameeksha can marry him and then everything will be fine" Swarali said. Abhishek was losing his cool. "Swarali why don't you just shut up?" Manjot raised his voice. All this time, he was sitting quietly listening to the solutions. "Manjot, chill out" Abhishek said. "Grayson aur Sameeksha ki shaadi hi ek solution hai kya?" Manjot asked, "shaadi itna paak rishta hai ke Sameeksha kisi se bhi shaadi karegi to uske sar se khatra tal jaega" He said, "esa bhi ho sakta hai na?" He looked at Swarali.
"Sameeksha aur Grayson ki shaadi nhi hogi, bas" Manjot declared, Grayson looked at him, "and who are you to make decisions on our behalf?" He asked Manjot. "Listen, tum abhi abhi aae ho Sameeksha ki life me. So stay out of our relationship" Manjot replied. "What relationship?" Grayson asked rolling his eyes, "Sameeksha mujhe tumse baat karni hai" He said grabbing her wrist and taking her to his room. "Arey par..." She tried to stop him but was unsuccessful.
"Manjot kya ho gaya hai tumhe?" She asked, "tumhe kya ho gaya hai Sameeksha? Grayson se shaadi karogi tum? Sab suggest kar rahe hai aur tum oppose bhi nhi kar rhi! What's wrong with you?" He asked holding her shoulders. "Isme kya galat hai? Sabko yeh solution sahi lag raha, Grayson mana nhi kar raha, mujhe bhi problem nhi hai. Kabhi na kabhi mujhe bhi shaadi karni hai. Grayson ko bhi karni hi hogi issi lie mana nhi kar raha" She said, "tum kyu gussa ho rahe ho?" She asked.
"Kyu ki I love you! Mujhe karni hai tumse shaadi! Jisse me pyaar karta hu, uski shaadi kisi aur se karne ki baat ho rhi hai iss lie me gussa ho raha hu!" He said tightening his grip on her shoulders. Sameeksha was speechless for some moments, she never imagined that Manjot would have those feelings for her. He was her best friend and once he was Bandana's crush. His grip on her shoulders was painful enough to bring her back to reality.
"Manjot, hamara pyaar do tarfaa nhi hai" Sameeksha said unable to hold her tears back, "nhi hai? Kya matlab hai tumhara?" Manjot gritted his teeth. "Manjot chodo mujhe! Dard ho raha hai" She said trying to push him, "idhar dekho!!" He said shaking her shoulders, she looked at him with fear in her eyes. "Agar tum soch rhi ho ke me tumhari shaadi Grayson se hone dunga to tum galat ho" He said, "chodo mujhe" She cried. "Tum sirf meri ho, aur tumhari shaadi bhi mujhse hi hogi. Samjhi tum?" He asked.
"HEY!" They heard someone's voice, "leave her!" Ethan said pushing Manjot. Sameeksha immediately hugged Ethan, hiding her face in his chest. "Ethan stay out of this" Manjot said coming towards them. "Don't you dare!" Ethan said putting his hand on Manjot's chest, "Sam are you okay?" He asked. She nodded slightly, his arm around her was making her feel a lot safer. "Let's go" He said giving Manjot a death glare.
Ethan and Sameeksha walked out of the room, "what the fuck was he saying?" He asked her, she told what happened in the room. "Oh my God!" He said running his hand through his hair, "don't tell Grayson" Sameeksha said. "Why? He must know this!" Ethan said, "he'll kill Manjot!" She exclaimed. "I'll kill that bitch before Grayson does" He said, she looked down and started crying again. "Sam" He said in a low voice and held her elbow, pulling her into a hug. "I won't tell anyone, not even Grayson" He said and placed a kiss on her head.

It was 11am and Bandana and Ethan were out for a walk. "Ghar chale? Kaafi late ho gaya hai" She said, "can we stay a little longer, baby ?" He sang, she smiled and nodded. "Can I ask you something?" He said looking down, she hummed and looked at him. "Are you marrying me because you don't want me to die or because you love me?" He asked stopping at one place. "Why does it matter?" She asked not looking at him. He kept quiet.
"I don't know what love is. What I do know is that whenever I think about you dying, I feel a pain in my heart and I hate that feeling. I want to marry you so that I can keep my heart away from that feeling" She said. "Does that answer your question?" She asked looking at him. He smiled a little, she looked down and started walking away.
"I LOVE YOU!!!" He shouted and ran to hug her from the back, a wide smile covered her face. He wrapped his hands around her shoulders and hid his face in his neck. "I love you so much" He whispered in her ear. "Ahh, slow down" He said breaking the hug, she looked at him confused, "I'm saying this to your racing heart beat" He smirked, "shut up" She smiled and started walking, he chuckled.
