 In Zoya's car,
Zoya - "Are you loving Gauri? I heard it from someone".
Aditya - Ha...Ho...How did you know? Has Karan told you?"
Zoya smiles - "I know you Aditya. You always have some feelings for Gauri. And one more thing, If a girl loves a boy, only she knows it. If a boy loves a girl, except that girl all knows it".
Aditya stares at her wheras Zoya laughs seeing his stare
Zoya - "Don't see me like a ghost. Why couldn't you propose her?"
Aditya - "Are you mad? I don't have any idea whether she loves me".
Zoya - "Aditya, let me give you an idea.I have a bachelor party after five days. You can invite her to the party".
Aditya - "Why will she come for your bachelor party?"
Zoya- "That's the point. You call her to join as your companion. If she agree, she must be interested in you".
Aditya - "My god! Zoya, how could you get such ideas? You're rocking". ( laughs louder)
Zoya - "Stop flattering and call her now".
Aditya nods and dials Gauri's number. Zoya grabs the phone and switch on the speaker.
Gauri - "Hello, Aditya".

Karan and Sonal are indulged in a heated argument. They both were breaking things shouting.
Karan - "Sonal, behave yourself. What are you thinking in your mind? You are so adamant and that makes me slap you..."
Sonal - "Oh, are you warning me? If you threaten me like this, I'll divorce you. I too have self respect".
Karan - "Oh, really. then, Pack your things and go to your father's house".
Sonal gets into the bedroom and locks the door. Karan knocks the door saying - "I asked you to get out of the house and to go inside".

Karan - "Oh, wow. What a surprise. Aditya, you patched with Zoya?  Sonal, Aditya and Zoya are here. Come on".
Sonal opens the door and welcomes them with a smile.
Zoya - "Karan, what is this? You are speaking about divorce... This is too wrong, Karan".
Aditya - "You are the one who said arranged marriage is a boon. Now, you are behaving like this. What is wrong with you?"
Karan - "Nothing is wrong".
Aditya - "Sonal, please say what is going on here".
Karan answers -  "My parents are forcing us to have a child. But she is not agreeing for that".
Sonal - "If I give birth to child, I can't spend time with Karan". 
Karan - So what, Baby is also the symbol of our love, right. She is my love and how could I not manage to spend time with her? I won't leave her soon. Its just a small catfights."
Sonal's eyes glitters and hugs Karan. Karan wipe her tears. (Dil se dil tak tune plays.) Zoya hugs Sonal and Karan. She gives the invitation and leaves the house
