~~”Le chal mujhe kahin dur iss ajnabi se jahan se mere humsafar...Jahan sirf tu ho, main hun aur hamari choti si apni si ek duniya ho… Shayad hamari taqdeer hi nahi chahti ke hum inn duriyon ke saath jeeyen kyunki hum ek dusre ka saath chhodkar bhi na chhod paye...Hum ek dusre ka vo hissa hain jise hum chahkar bhi nahi bhula sakte...Bhale hi ye rishta pehle jaisa nahi hai, par ye pyaar pehle se kayin badkar hai...Aaj jo ye haath thaama toh kabhi na chhodunga, saath milkar ek naya sa rishta, ek naye pyaar ki kahani likh lenge hum….Le chal mujhe kahin dur iss ajnabi se jahan se mere humsafar…”~~

Shehnaaz and Sidharth felt peace after 3 years. The last three years had given countless sleepless nights to both of them. The internal pain, the lost inner peace and the silent tears says it all. It wasn’t just a separation of two people, it was a separation of two souls who were the reason for each other to smile. One moment of misunderstanding can destroy a beautiful relationship. Shehnaaz and Sidharth used to be the ideal couple then what happened that this ideal couple couldn’t become each other’s reason to trust the word trust…

~~FLASHBACK (3 years ago)~~
(15th July 2017)
Shehnaaz was sleeping peacefully when sun’s rays fell on her face, she woke up rubbing her eyes and suddenly jumped out of bed in excitement. She runs downstairs and looks at the ongoing arrangements. Shehbaaz is speaking to the manager of the place that was booked for their wedding, Jasbeera ji (her mother) was quickly looking into the last minute preparations to be done before they leave for the venue, Santokh ji (her father) was instructing the driving staff on what to keep in the car and in which car who will be going and when so that there’s no last moment chaos. Shehnaaz is just adoring her family with an emotional yet peaceful smile on her face. She came back to the real world when Shehbaaz patted her shoulder and said, “Tu yahan kya kar rahi hai moto...Subah ke 5 baj chuke hain already...Jaldi jaake ready ho..Humein 6 baje tak nikalna hai jisse ke time se 8:30 tak Manesar pohonch jayein farmhouse pe… Vahan jaake bhi kitne arrangements dekhne hain…” Shehnaaz hugged him tight...He felt that she’s emotional so didn’t say anything. Shehnaaz broke the hug and said, “Kitna panic karta hai tu...Jaa rahi hun ready hone aur haan kehna nahi chahti par aaj keh hi deti hun ke tu best bhai hai…” He smiled and said, “Aur tu best behen…” They didn’t notice but their mom was watching them and adoring the brother sister duo. She came to them and hugged both of them together while saying, “Tum dono best bache ho...Shehnaaz kab tu itni badi ho gayi pata hi nahi chala...Aaj shaadi ho jayegi phir meri bachi ki ek nayi aur bohot khoobsurat life shuru hogi...Dekhna tu aur Sidharth best couple ki nayi definition likhoge ek sath..Chal ab aise rone jaisa muh na bana...Ye sab bidaai ke liye bacha ke rakh...Jaa jake ready hoja…”
She went to her room and got ready in a simple yet beautiful salwar suit...
Just then a message pops on her phone which says, “I know aaj tu bohot khush hai kyunki main bhi utna hi khush hum meri jaan...I know I know ab tu blush kar rahi hai...Mat kar varna main control nahi kar paunga vahan aake tere red color ke ho chuke cheeks pull karne se...You want to jump out of happiness right...Then do it varna tujhse chup nahi raha jayega shaadi pe sharmana toh bhul jao phir...Ab zara naachne mat chali jayiyo...Mujhe pata hai tu ready hai...Ek photo bhejde...Phir naach liyo jitna marzi...Par dhyaan se haath pair salamat chahiye mujhe meri wifeyy ke aaj...I love you meri jaan...Aaj finally the day has come…”
Shehnaaz just kisses the phone...Just then another message pops up, “Haan haan saari puppiyan phone ko hi de de...Mujhpe toh kabhi itna pyaar nahi aata..” She widens her eyes reading this message and looks around to see if he is there and playing around with her...To her surprise another message arrives from our Mr. Logical which reads, “Idhar udhar dekhna band kar...Main nahi hun vahan..I know nothing but everything about you by now...Ab aap time waste na karte hue mujhe photo bhejiye and apna naachna-kudna jaari rakhiye uske baad…” Shehnaaz smiles, clicks a picture and sends it to him with the caption, “ab mujhe kam taadte hue aap apni car mein jayiye varna kaisa lagega dulha ready hone mein late ho gaya kyunki vo venue pe hi time pe nahi pahuncha…Dulhan is waiting haww…” Sidharth laughs and sends her a flying kiss vala emoji…

Shehnaaz twirls around in the room in excitement and says, “Yeahh….Aaj meri Shaadi hai, aaj meri Shaadi hai...I am so so so so excited for this new journey...Thank You God mere Kullu ko meri life mein bhejne ke liye….”
All of them leave for the venue in Manesar. Manesar is a small yet very peaceful and extremely beautiful place 2.5 hours ahead of Delhi. They reach the farmhouse which was already decorated and kept ready according to the instructions given by Shehbaaz. Shehnaaz was sent to the room to wear  Chooda which is made to wear before the bride gets ready for the wedding in the morning by her mama and kaleerein are also attached to the chooda by the bride’s mami. After the chooda and kaleerein were set her mama-mami left the room and sent the beauticians in. Shehnaaz took 1 hour to get all ready for her wedding. Sidharth also got ready in a different room on another floor. Both were ready for their new beginning and actually started craving to look at each other once but rituals you know; ‘Dulha apni dulhan ko mandap pe hi dekh sakta hai…’ It was finally the time for both Dulha-Dulhan to enter the venue. SidNaaz wedding hai toh bhai entry bhi toh hand-in-hand honi chahiye ya nahi...Both entered the place from opposite sides and were happily amazed to see each other. Both were looking at each other from top to bottom while walking. Sidharth pulled Shehnaaz by her waist without caring about anyone’s presence and said in a low voice which only Shehnaaz could hear, “Aaj toh aapka noor hi alag hai...Aisa lagta hai jaise khuda ne khud meri pari ko mere paas bheja ho…” Shehnaaz looked down, blushed and said, “Aap bhi kuch kam nahi lag rahe hain mere to be husband...Aisa lag rha hai jaise chaand khud mere saamne aa khada hua ho…” He kissed her forhead and they walked towards the mandap hand in hand… Sidharth picked her up in his arms during the pheras and both of them took the wedding vows. He sat on his knee, made her sit in his lap, filled the vermillion, made her wear the mangalsutra, kissed her forehead as an assurance and the wedding was complete with the promise of being together forever…
~~FLASHBACK ENDS~~
Both of them wake up in each others embrace, share an eye lock while smiling at each other as they wake up fresh after so many years but soon the smile fades away as they realise that it’s 15th July today. They both get out of the truck as they see that the shutter is open and no one’s around. They get down and Shehnaaz panics seeing the place and says, “What the hell Sidharth?? Ye hum kahan hai...Oh my Goodness….We are in Rishikesh...Yes, this is Rishikesh shit...Hum kitni dur aa gaye hain...What about Kriti...NO, it’s already 10 AM...Uska check up kaise hoga...Kya karein…” Sidharth holds her from her shoulders, makes her look at him and says, “Shehnaaz...calm down...Trust me kuch nahi hoga...Call Dr. Gupta first and explain Kriti’s case to him...Uska day after tomorrow, morning tak ka check-up vo dekh lenge and tumhe updates dete rahenge...Uske baad let’s talk to our families and inform them...Ab aise mat dekho..Unko keh dena urgent meeting se aayi ho….I’ll also say the same…” She passes an, “Huhh...I don’t care wala look and does as he said…” Sidharth books a cab and checks for a nearby and decent hotel. Both of them buy some necessary clothes on the way and reach the hotel…

KYA 15th JULY ISS SAAL LA PAYEGI INHE KAREEB?? MISUNDERSTANDINGS HONGI CLEAR?? IS THIS RISHIKESH TRIP LUCKY FOR THEM?? WILL DESTINY PLAY ITS GAME?? WILL THEY RELIVE BOTH GOOD AND BAD MOMENTS AND REALISE EACH OTHERS IMPORTANCE IN THEIR LIFE?? TOGETHER FOREVER OR POLES APART??

PROMO: Ma’am, Sir actually we have only one couple’s room left...Sorry for the inconvenience but you’ll have to adjust. (AB AAGE MAIN NAHI BATA RAHI...TIRED OF TYPING….STAY TUNED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS FURTHER…)
