After two hours of walking younger clan reach the temple. Elders were already present there. Ladies were doing last minute preparations. Men were just pacing here and there waiting for the clan.

Shakti : bhaisaab ek baar aap shivaay ya Om ko call kijiye na. Dekhe toh ve kaha tak pahunche hai.

A voice came for behind.

Person : koi zarurat nahi hai, hum pohonch jaye.

They turned and saw the owner of the voice sitting on the stairs of the temple. He was Om along with rest everyone.

Tej : chalo bachon pooja ka samay ho raha hai.

Rudra : dadi kaha hai.

Dadi came from behind.

Dadi : khoteyon waha kyun baithe ho.

Rudra : pooja mein meri I mean pooja shivika ke liye hai. Baki logon ki kya zarurat. Dadi isse zyada nahi chal paunga.

Mallika : ha dadi, bahut thak gaye hai sab.

Dadi : Mallika tu toh sabse badi hai aur aise bachhon jaise baat kar rahi ho.

Janhvi : sirf 10 steps hi rahenge. Chalo, na pooja main toh baithna hi hai na.

Pinky : zyada derr mat karo. Aaj pooja nahi hui toh kal wapis karna hoga. Wapis utna hi chalna hoga.

Rudra got up and ran upstairs. Everyone's gaze was fixed at him.

Ru : aise kya dekh rahe ho. Chalo jaldi.

Om : tu bhaaga kyun.

Ru : O Pinky Maa kya boli, aaj pooja nahi hui toh kal bhi itni dur chalna hoga. Main toh nahi chal paunga itni dur.

Om : point.

Everyone reached near the pooja mandap.

In half an hour they completed the pooja. Shivika took everyone's blessings. Pinky gifted Annika a necklace.
Pinky : annika yeh hamari pushteni haar parivaar mein aaye har nai bahu ko diya jaata hai.

Annika accepted the gift.

Everyone returned the mansion. Everyone were about to disperse but ShivOm stopped them.

Shakti : kya hua Om kyun roka.

Tej : haan tum log toh thak gaye hai na jake aaram karna chahiye tum logon ko.

Om : woh humme kuch imp baat karni hai. Prinku ek ladke se pyaar karti hai.

Before he could complete priyanka was bombarded with lots of questions. This time not ShivOm but Ru came to rescue her.

Ru : (he shouted) chup. Arre non stop bichari ko savaal puch rahe ho. Saans toh lene do usse. Itne questions puch liya ki main count bhi nahi kar paya. Ek baar O ki puri baat toh sun lo.

Prinku : thanks bhai.

Ru : tujhe kya laga ki tere sirf do bade bhai hi tujhe bacha sakte hai.

Om : toh main kaha tha haan.

He explained everything to the elders.

Pinky : o my mata. Ab toh bahut saari tayyariyaan karni hongi.

Shiv : Pinky Maa aap na tension lo. Maine saari arrangements karwa di hai.

Mallika and Ru: matlab ab koi kaam nahi hai aur hum aaraam kar sakte hai.

ShivOm : ji haan.

Everyone nodded and dispersed. All the works were done in few hours. Prinku was very much excited. Prinku called Ranveer to give him address. But call was picked by Meera. So Prinku gave her the address. Meera was happy to know that she was a Oberoi. But she didn't disclosed it to anyone as she wanted everyone to be surprised. But never she would have thought whom she is going to meet.

At evening

Murthy have already left for Oberoi Mansion. Here Annika was feeling something worst was going to happen But she shrugged off telling that she is over thinking.

(Note : Murthy's have met elder Oberoi's in few parties. Elder Oberoi's also know Murthy's  as both families and leading in business but info their personal lives are never revealed. And yeah Murthy's don't know about Annika or Obro's because they here ShivOmRu always run away from limelight and never attend business parties)

Murthy's reached Oberoi Mansion. Ranveer was shocked to the core. He was tensed. He tried to call Shivaay and at least for now make Annika stay away from Murthy's. But Shivaay had already smashed his phone in anger because of a deal.
Here elders Oberoi's welcomed Murthy's. ShivOmRu were in the kitchen. Girls were with Prinku. Here Ranveer's tension had no edge.

Meera : tej bhaisaab ladki ko toh bulao.

Tej : lo aagaye.

Here ShivOmRu came out from the kitchen and stood besides their respective girls. Soon shivaay saw Ranveer and the smile on his face faded. Both shared a tensed look.
Soon Murthy's turned and first saw Prinku and then the one beside her of course annika. Annika saw them and was shocked. She was rooted at her place.

Meera : (with anger) tum.
