Raman accelerated his car just when Mihir dashed in front of it. Raman yelled "Have you lost it? You could have died, dekhke nahi chalsakte?" [Can't you see and walk?]

"Bhai, where are you going ?" Mihir asks

"You very well know where I am going," Raman states flatly, changing the gear of the car.

"You are going to meet ishu" Mihir nods his head and continues "No, you can't meet her today." Raman crunches his face and Mihir fumbles for words"Because... Because she is in her home"

"So,bhai you can't meet her. You know her parents are quite orthodox. Especially, her mom hates Punjabis. She doesn't even allow miku to meet me properly" Mihir spoke joining his words with difficulty as he knew he had to give a proper reason or else nothing could stop Raman Kumar Bhalla from going.

Raman thought for a while and spoke " You're right Mihir. It may be dangerous but I am willing to take that risk. Even of sneaking into her house under the nose of her Tamil melodramatic mom"

"You just wanna meet her right? You can meet her tonight." Mihir reasons.

"Tonight. But how?"

"It's my birthday!!" Mihir says as he got an idea.

"Oh. I wished you earlier. Once again happy birthday. Ab khush." Raman rolls his eyes.

"Bhai, it's my birthday party, so miku will be there and with her - ishu"

"That's better. I can even get prepared." Raman steps out of his car

Mihir had a sigh of relief. He knew he couldn't have stopped Raman from meeting ishu but only could have postponed it. One day or the other, they had to face each other.

OUTSIDE IYER MANSION

Mihir informs her of what took place in the office, "It will be a problem but it HAD to happen any day"

"Mihir there are billion people in our country itself, how will they happen ANYDAY?" Mihika went on "But I am afraid how will ishu react on seeing Raman. Main ishu ko party me nahi la rahi hon "

"Lana padega warna Raman bhai ishu ke ghar me gus jayega." Mihir shook his head

"Thik hai. Hope sab thik ho Jaye" Mihika hangs up

"Ishu, Mihir ke party mein Jana hai, "Mihika told ishu who had just entered her bedroom

"I know aur Aaj mein tum dono ki future ke bare me bhi baat karungi,"ishu replied arranging her clothes.

"Kaise future?" Mihika questioned.

"Shaadhi?"ishu giggled

"Par tu kyu yeh sab karegi. Appa-Amma hai na" said mihika

"Unse baat karogi to shaadhi se pehle talaak ho jayega." retorted ishu

"Toh mein Mihir ke family se baat karongi. Agar won log aunty-uncle se baat karenge to accha rahega" ishu spoke.

Even Mihika felt it sensible. It was but good for her also and Raman also. She hoped nothing bad would happen. Ishita enquired Miku about Mihir's family. Punjabis. Family oriented. She got to know that Mihir had a brother who takes Mihir's life decision. 

When he reached there, he saw ishita at the entrance. She looked divine. He was still attracted to her. She was talking on the phone, he found her biting her lip. He wanted to kiss her senselessly just like they used to do before. Before he would get distracted by the thoughts he parked his car and walked towards her.

She had already kept the phone. She heard the nearby girls pointing towards Raman as Mihir brother. She saw him and anger rose in her. Granted, He was handsome but she really didn't understand what problem he had with Mihir-mihika marriage. She decided to confront him.

They both walked towards each other and stopped.

Silence enveloped them. She decided to break the silence, rather angrily "How dare you?"
