Evening was going well. Naaz was very happy that after so many days she was breathing in free air. It was raining outside so they decided to do shopping in the mall only. Naaz was entering in almost every shop.

Sid: Naaz, I know after many days you are doing shopping but bacha I am not your coolie. You are unstoppable.

Aditi: You have to bear it, buddy. She is not in a mood to listen to anybody.

Sid: Are yaar Aditi! Please tell her to stop. She will get the chance during our wedding shopping. She was not like this. What has happened to her now?

Aditi: She is just enjoying her freedom.

Sid: Aur mere freedom ki band baj rahi hai.

Aditi: You have lost the battle before it started. 

Aditi laughs seeing tiring face of Sid.

Naaz was trying various dresses and Sid was giving approval. Their movie plan was already cancelled as Naaz was busy in shopping. Finally, Naaz felt hungry and Sid sighed. They went to a restaurant and have a proper dinner.

Naaz: Sid, I am so tired. But so content

Aditi: Ha tu to happy hogi...vaat to hum don ki lagi

Naaz: It is your problem that you didn't shop. I didn't tell you both not to shop.

Sid: Baby we didn't get a chance to shop. You were trying dresses and accessories and asking approvals from us

Naaz: Ok! So now you both are team? Wait, Zain and Gautam would be in my team.

Sid: Yeah for sure! But I can never in Aditi's team

Aditi: As if I am interested.

Naaz: I am really sorry that I thought you can be nice to each other. Now let's move to home.

They all go back to home. Days passed soon. Their parents consult pandit and Marriage date was finalized. Just 15 days left for marriage. Their parents wanted their marriage grand but both Sid and Naaz were adamant on-court marriage. They were having an argument on it.

Shwetaji: Sid and Gudiya please understand you are our only child. And we want to enjoy every moment of your wedding.

Sid: We respect our traditions but we don't want to waste money on it. We have decided to donate this money to the orphanage. This money would be helpful for so many children.

Preetoji: We donate money every year. This time we will donate some more amount. But we want your marriage to be done with all rituals. Each ritual has its own meaning. There are reasons so that these rituals are followed.

Naaz: And we are gonna follow both rituals. Right? You people have planned marriage by both customs. If rituals are so important to you all then we are ready to follow it but then we don't want thousands of people to come to our marriage. Only our close relatives would be there. And marriage would be either by Sikh customs or Hindu customs. Not both. You can mutually agree on that.

Aditi: You both are mad. I was thinking of a destination wedding. I had planned some destinations too for both of you. And you both are ruining everything.

Sid: I was never interested in a destination wedding. It is really a waste of money. Even I am against all these rituals too but still, I am ok with it if it is a low key affair.

Aditi: You both are so boring

Naaz: You can do all these things when you would get married. And I am sure your future husband has a lot of money to afford your style wedding.

Aditi: Yaar Naaz! Don't start again. Whatever you are thinking it is impossible. So please shut your mouth and keep focus on your marriage.

Sid: Excuse me? Would anybody try to explain to me what is happening here? Aditi I know you don't like me but still you should not hide things from me. Who is that lucky guy?

Preetoji: Aditi beta, you didn't tell me too?

Aditi: Are aunty there is nothing like that. Naaz madam is dreaming impossible things. Jis ladke se abhi tak mili bhi nahi hu us se meri setting karwani hai inko.

Sid: Now what is this Naaz?

Naaz: Zain

Sid: Naaaaazz? Why are you doing this?

Naaz: trust me kullu. It is going to work.

Aditi: Sid, your to be wife is going mad. Marry her asap otherwise you would find her in m3ental asylum

Naaz: Shut up Aditi! Kutti! You are going to regret your words. You are going to say sorry in a few days. Mind it.

Shwetaji: How conveniently topic changed. We are still at the same position.

Sid: We have decided. Now you people talk and decide. We have given you the solution.

They discussed for hours and then decide to keep it simple affair. But which customs to be followed? It was still a major question and finally decide to do head and tales for that. And it was head. Marriage was going to be done by Hindu rituals. Sid and Naaz were excited as just 15 days and they would be forever together.

Preetoji: So finally everything is decided and we should start working. We have agreed on your things but you both are not going to interfere in clothes and jewellery shopping. I mean you can give choices but will not save money there.

Naaz: Ma, if you are planning to spend lakhs of rupees on my lehnga then I will object. I am going to wear it just for one day.

Aditi: How boring you are Naaz!

Shwetaji: Don't worry beta. We will not spend heavy money on it.

Sid: Ok guys now. With all your permission can I take my would-be wife for long drive?

Preetoji: From when you need our permission to take her with you? Go and enjoy.

Sid and Naaz chuckle. They leave for a long drive. But Naaz forgets her phone to take with her. And Zain calls her. Destiny also wants them together. Aditi sees the phone and sighs. She picks up the call.

Aditi: Hello Zain! I am Aditi. Naaz has forgotten phone at home. If you want to give any message then give otherwise please disconnect the call.

Zain: How rude you are!

Aditi: Excuse me! I am too polite to you. This is not my style. I don't say please to anybody but still I talked to you nicely.

Zain: Oh really? I really doubt. How can you be the best friend of Naaz? She is such a sweet and chirpy girl. And you are so arrogant.

Aditi: Oh really? Then why are you wasting your time talking to an arrogant girl? And I am not arrogant. You are Mr Attitude.

Zain: There is no point talking to you. I will call on Sid's phone.

Aditi: He will not pick up the call. He must be driving. And he keeps the phone on silent while driving. Naaz has given him this warning.

Zain: Ok then tell Naaz that I will be coming to India tomorrow. I will be there by evening.
