[August 8,2016, 7.45 PM – The day when Naina met Sameer]

Naina leaves the bus stand and walking to her colony. She is cherishing those memories she had with Sameer. She wants to relive it again with the same amount of joy and glory. She knows she was late to her house by almost 3 hours, but she didn't really care about the reason that she has to give to her father or elders...She enters her colony with a dreamy smile which was intervened by a noise from her house... Coming back to her senses, she is pretty nervous that her father might be shouting and breaking things in the hosue because of her missing....In a pace of snail, she walked upto the door but the situation was completely different... Rakesh is slapping Arjun wheras Naresh giving orders not to slap a adult wheras Anand is defending him...Bela and Beena are standing helplessly crying who is being consoled by Prakash... Preeti is standing as if she witnessed a horrific ghost... Shefali is standing near Arjun wheras her parents are standing again helplessly... Seeing this, Naina predicted that Rakesh came to know about her brother's affair with Shefali...Brushing the thoughts aside, she stands at entrance...Rakesh stares at her and within a second he get back to rebuke Arjun...Preeti and Bela signs Naina to get inside...She gets in and goes to her room, washes her face and while wiping, Preeti pinches her... Naina is about to shrill but Preeti press her mouth before that. In a husky tone,

Preeti – "Why were you late?"

Releasing Preeti's press, Naina – "I went to meet Sameer, What is going on now? Why is Dad slapping Bro?"

Preeti – "Bhai revealed that he is in love with Shefali. He created a big scene then by calling Victors to home...".

Naina is astonished to hear the same...She knew about Shefali-Arjun's love but she never thought Arjun himself would speak about the same to Dad...He was calm, composed even shy boy who never got guts to speak about this sensible issue to his extremely strict dad...But he did it... Love has change anything...Nothing is permanent whether it is habits or things...She don't know how she will change after falling in love for Sameer. If I confess the same to him...What will be his reaction? If...

As soon as another hard slap interrupt her thoughts, Preeti and Naina gasp and enters into the hall where the whole scene is going on...

Nothing has changed in scene, except Arjun's face was little reddish than the previous slap and Naina's presence in the room...

Rakesh starts to yell loudly now as a typical father and also it is bit more complex because of inter-caste marriage...He starts to scold Shefali too.. When Rakesh raised his hand again, Arjun hold his hand...

Arjun (matching Rakesh's voice) – "Dad, I respect you a lot...It is the reason I told about my love to you to get approval from the elders.. I am going to complete my studies in within 8 months... But I have started to earn by now... I hold the responsibility of being a lover, son, nephew to fulfil all my duties...I know it is not really easy to accept the affair or not mediocre for the people to accept inter-caste marriage...It takes time to realize... I promised Shefali to safeguard her without making her shed out her tears...Our love is not a mirage...Its true... Please try to understand me..."

Shefali holds his hands – "Arjun, mind your words. He is your father.."

Beena comes in between and shuts her..

Beena – "Just shut up... You are the reason for all the problems."

Rakesh – "Oh, sir has grown so big... Pyaar Vyaar things... Now your patni (wife) is advising you... When you mind goes behind a girl, it means you are betraying your family members...And that Shefali would eat non-veg food items, wears short skirts and don't know about her character though..."
