Sanvi - thank you, thank you
Anvi - waise Sanu, you said tumhe pg change karna hai, mila koi dusra pg
Sanvi - nahi bhabhi, it's really difficult, bahut jagah try kiya, infact Ritvik ne bhi bol rakha hai,but abhi tak koi response nahi aaya
Taani - hmm if you don't mind, Sanvi you can shift with me, I stay alone
Sanvi - arey nahi tumhe kyu problem, I'm looking, soon I may get
Taani - no problem at all, if you are not comfortable then it's fine

Avni - great yeh hui na baat
Sanvi - main Ritvik ko bolti ho, not to look for other
Avni - Haan Haan kyu nahi, ab toh pg ke timing ki tension ke bina mil sakte ho kyu, teased her, Sanvi started blushing
Avni after looking at Taani, " yeh or Ritvik are childhood sweethearts, bachpan ka pyaar hai inka"
Taani - Aww that's so sweet
Anvi - waise Taani tumhara koi bf nahi hai
Taani shifted a lil uncomfortable, hesitating said "nahi", Sanvi felt notice her, thought of changing the topic, "bhabhi chale na kuch khate hai"
Ishani - Haan di chalo kuch khate hai
They had food, Avni got call from Aditya and  Sanvi got call from Rithvik to inform they'll come to pickup. Soon both came, Avni deliberately made Taani go with Adi. He opened the door, helped her with bags. She smiled at his chivalry,
Adi - aap yahan akele rehti hai, tried to initiate a conversation
Taani - ji woh pehle dusre jagah mein thi, ab yahan se office nazdik hai, toh yahan shift hui
Adi - ok.......woh gajar ka halwa bahut accha tha, smiling a little
Taani - aap ne kal kuch kaha nahi mujhe laga aapko accha nahi laga
Adi - you gotta be kidding, main woh khane mein itna khoya tha, I didn't realise I'm sorry
Taani - nahi that's ok
Adi - I'm a big time foodie, and a sweet tooth, I was just relishing the dish, it was very good
Taani smiled, " thank you", "bas yahan rokeye",she got down even he too got down ,handed her bags "thank you for the ride"
Adi - your welcome toh main chalta ho
Taani nodded "g'night", "yeah g'night" rubbing his nape, she went in, he waited till she gets in, then he too left.
Avni after reaching, went to her 'MIL', she found both the ladies talking,
Disha - "beta aagayi tum" looking at her coming to them
Sneha - hogayi shopping
Avni - ji, mujhe aap dono se baat karni hai
Disha - bolo beta kya baat hai
Anvi - aapko Taani kaisi lagti hai
Sneha - kaisi lagti hai matlab acchi ladki hai pyaari si hai
Anvi - Haan, toh taani or adi ki jodi kaise rehegi, grinning, both the ladies gasped said together "hum bhi toh yahi soch rahe the"
Anvi - wow aap log bhi yahi baat kar rahe the, clapping her hands
Sneha - Haan hum bhi yahi baat kar rahe the ki Taani or adi ki jodi kitni aachi rahegi
Avni - Haan or adi bhi usko pasand karta hai
Disha - Tumhe kaise pata
Avni - arey maa, Arjun keh rahe the ki woh project jispe kaam kar rahi hai, adi ne mana kiya tha uspe kaam karne, par jaise hi usne Taani ko dekha phat se Haan bol diya, or kal bhi toh woh pura time usko hi dekhe smile kar raha tha
Sneha - Haan bhabhi, kal dekha na adi kaise dekh raha tha usko, or woh bhi toh usko dekhe sharma rahi thi
Disha - waah theek hai phir, main aaj hi Aparna ji se baat karti ho, they couldn't stop grinning
Sneha - Haan bhabhi par usse pehle ek bar bhaisaab se baat kar lijiye or adi se bhi directly ek bar puch lijiye
Anvi - Haan maa, choti maa sahi keh rahi hai
Disha - theek hai esa hi karte hai
They saw adi entering humming a song smiling, they too smiled knowingly
Disha - adi beta mujhe tum se baat karni hai
Adi - ji maa boliye kya baat hai
Disha - nahi tum jao fresh ho jao, main aati ho . He nodded went to his room. He got fresh and his mother too got in, both seat on the bed, she cupped his face, " beta main tumhe ghuma phira ke nahi puchungi seedha sa sawaal karongi umeed hai tum bhi seedha sa jawab doge" , he nodded, " tumhe Taani pasand hai", he was taken back, looked shocked but closed his eyes took a breath, opening his eyes looking straight in her eyes said confidently "Haan", Disha grinning widely hugged him, he too hugged, coming out of the hug, " mujhe bhi woh bahut pasand aaye, mujhe hi kya sab hi ko pasand hai, main jaldi Aparna ji se baat kar thi ho rishte ke baare mein" ,"maa wait, bahut jaldi nahi ho raha yeh,matlab main acche se janta tak nahi ho usse", slapping her forehead she said "kal ke kal shaadi nahi ho rahi, sirf baat karne wale hai, jab tum dono raazi hoge tab baat aage badega", "ok but I don't want to rush things, she's still too young", "Haan beta take your time, all this will take more time,shaadi ek din mein nahi hota, bahut time lagta hai, and her being young toh shaadi woh jab ready hogi tabhi hogi, ok tum zyada mat socho" caressing his face, " main chalati ho tumhare papa ko bhi toh bolna hai". She went to her husband, told him everything and then talked to Aparna ji, she was delighted with the proposal, she too talk to her husband even he was happy and thought 'Adi is  best for Taani'.
Taani got a call from her tauji, "hello tauji, aap pahuch gaye", "Haan beta main pahuch gaya", "main bhi hoon mujhse bhi baat karlo"said her taiji complaining,
Taani - aree taiji kaisi hai aap
Taiji- theek ho beta,tu theek hai,kaam kaise chal raha hai,or padhai kaise chal rahe hai,tu khana toh acche se kharahi hai naa Taani - taiji bas bas sab kuch sahi hein, khana bhi time se khati ho
Tauji - beta darsal hume kuch zaroori baat karni thi
Taani - boliye tauji kya baat hai
Taiji - beta woh Disha ji ne phone kiya tha, unhone tumhe Aditya ke liye pasand kiya hai, shaadi ke liye tumhara hath manga hai
Taani - par taiji, shaadi itni jaldi abhi toh meri padhai bhi puri nahi hue hai, not knowing how to react
Tauji - beta tum tension mat lo, hamari taraf se tum pe koi pressure nahi hai, agar tum dono ek dusre ko pasand karte ho toh hi baat aage badhega or shaadi bhi tumhari padhai ke baad hi hogi beta
Taiji - Haan beta, unke ghar pe sabhi ko tum bahut pasand aayi ho or unka ghar parivaar bahut accha hai, Aditya bahut accha ladka hai beta,
Taani knew her taiji and tauji would never say about the proposal if they would not be sure about it, also they'll always wish good for her,even she liked the family a lot,
she took a deep breath,
Taani - theek hai taiji, jaise aap logo ko theek lage, a lil hesitated
Taiji grinning loudly and even tauji seemed happy, Taani too felt happy
Taani - woh unko pata hai, a bit nervously
Taiji - Haan beta Adi ko pata hai, Disha ji ne usse baat kar ke hi hum se pucha
Tauji - beta raat bahut hogayi hai, tumhe kal office bhi jana hai, hum rakhte hai g'night
Taani - g'night, she cut the call, "Krishna ji, kuch samajh nahi aara hai, main kal unko kaise face karongi" she went to bed.

Here Rey couldn't stop thinking about Taani, he was dancing blindfolded,

he seemed very disturbed,all their moments, how clumsy and childish she was, how they met first time, how she got dressed like Kriya,how he behaved rude to her, how hurt she was, how he got jealous seeing her with Shivam, how he confessed his feelings to her, how he planned the fake breakup, how pale and numb she looked when he said about breakup to her, how fool was he to not  realise that she would take such step of leaving, fell on his knees crying 'how can I hurt the person who loved me so much, Taani ke Krishna ji bas ek bar Taani se milwa dijiye, I know mujhse bahut badi galti hue hai but I'll make it up to her, I'll win her back, I love her a lot and I know even she loves me'
Sharon who came there saw him crying went to him, hugged him and consoled him.
Rightly to be said 'you realise the value of a person when they go far from you'
