Looking at the scene
Akash felt petrified it was anyways very tough to convince his mother to accept Payal now the disclosure of her past showed up like a tornado
Sharda: Ask your daughter-in-law why did the Gupta's left lucknow all of a sudden
Devyani:What is it Payal Bitiya please say something
Khushi came to her for the rescue and squeezes her hand
Khushi : Whatever transpired it was not my sisters fault her wedding was fixed but at the day of wedding grooms family called it off
Lady: You heard Manorama or is there
anything else you need to say Whether I reached from train Or I came from the flight but such daughter-in-law from where you find?
Saying these she started laughing
Khushi: humne kaha na jo kuch bhi huwa usmay jiji ki koi galtiI already said Jiji was not at fault that family was demanding dowry and I was against it and on
the day of marriage i ..........
With Khushi defending payal and Akash just standing there looking at the ground not even for a moment Manorama's eye left from his son
Khushi explained everything that happened except the part where Arnav was at fault
Khushi: It was my misstep
Garima and Buwaji had tears in their eyes Garima more terrified than ever
Arnav: It was not your mistake Khushi
Mami: looked at Arnav and khushi
Sharda: not her mistake!!!
She again laughed ......
Sharda: she was out the
entire nightshould I say with whom?
Hearing this Arnav's anger boilled all the more he was about to say something
Arnav: enough she was not with....
Manorama: Let her speak Arnav I want to Hear
Arnav: mami?
Looking at Manorama and Sharda lady smirked
Lady: I know with whom she was May I tell every one what was in the new She said while smirking at Arnav
She then looked at Manorama and said
Sharda: You chose such defamed family I got a kick out of it, now that I allured the Mehendi ceremony with my being let me know if more charms at Wedding is required or not ..... only if any wedding is going to take place I will take your leave and move
Sharda started to take the exit so did all the guests who were attending but then
Manorama : Are you not leaving so early
Sharda You are my childhood friend just give some blessing to my daughter in law
Sharda stood rooted to the place so did all the guest
Manorama: You heard it right what you thought I would listen to your gibberish talk and break the tie I am the daughter-in-law of Raizada Family we don't entertain such sick and backward mentality Tomorrow my son is getting married come and attend the wedding don't give any allures your blessings would be enough.
Sharda fled from there huffing and puffing
All the guest left only family members were present
All the family members felt elated
Garima came ther and joint her hands in front of manorama
Garima: I am thankful you accepted my daughter and trust, e I had no idea that you all re not aware of it. Payal already spoke to Akash about it so we all thought he might have spoken to you all out it
Payal: in fact, I confirmed with Akash. I really had no idea you are not aware.
Manorama : If it would have been in my hand I would never have accepted it's because of this family and the children I accepted her.
Moving towards Anjali who was in tears patting her head and taking her in her arms Manorama let her cry her heart out
Khushi moved forward and supported Anjali And mami left her
Gupta's except Khushi didn't understand why Anjali was crying
So much
Manorama: Can you see if I would not have accepted payal would have shattered pretty hard if my Anjali got fresh start who Am I to snatch the same from Payal.
Devayani (came towards Manorama and hugged her
After breaking the hug ) : Today I recognize what my son saw in you
Nani said it with proud. She knew Manorama was soft by heart the way she took Arnav and Anjali in but she never knew she would do the same for her daughter in law whom she has not accepted wholeheartedly.
Lavanya and Nk were silent onlookers of this drama so was Akash
The whole catastrophe happened but Akash didn't utter a single word
Payal observed this and she even observed how Aranv and Khushi protected each other whenever it was needed
Payal started having doubts was marrying Akash was the right decision?
After this commotion was over Gupta's left for their home including Khushi
In room
Payal was studying at her henna clad hands this intricate Mehendi was considered to be colour of love but now same Mehendi looks like a symbol of compromise
Not that she doesn't love Akash but She is discontented
When Khushi entered the room she didn't like the scene, her sister was stressed
She could hear phone ringing and her ignoring it and later on switching off the phone
Khushi shooked her Jiji off from thoughts by sitting beside her
Khushi: What happened jiji You are looking upset ..... every thing is
okay now even mami has accepted you.
Payal: Everything is okay I am getting married and today I understand maaji .....you were right Khushi maaji just looks vicious but deep down she is very soft-hearted
Khushi took payals hand in her hand and saw her henna design
Khushi : It is so beautiful
Payal : Yours is more desirable
Khushi: But I had a very small design made you are having a bridal design
Payal : lBut the colour of love is blessing your hand
Khushi looked at her jiji
Payal: Arnavji is a very decent man don't let him get separated from you
Khushi Smiled at her Jiji she realized that payal had eventually has given green signal to Arnav and Khushi's affair
Khushi hugged payal with full force
Raizada mansion :
Poolside
Lavanya Nk Akash and even Arnav was present
Nk : What happened did she again cut the call
Akash : Even worst she switched it off
Lavanya: you earned it .... you know what Akash its generous Payal is just avoiding, you have no idea what I would have done if I were in her shoes.
Akash : I understand I should have told mom everything but now all is good mom has accepted her I want to apologise to her but she is not even picking up my call.
Arnav : Oh really Akash do you really believe she is just upset because of you hiding the stuff from mami
Akash : Is there anything else which I did wrong.
Nk 🤦♂️ face palmed: Akash I thought you would become
smart by staying with ASR but you are still the same foolish person
Saying this Nk left followed by Lavanya
Akash looked at Arnav
Arnav: you are a coward Akash and payal saw that today ... how difficult was it to Defend Payal
Akash : But bhai you and khushi ji was there to do that job
Arnav : Are you able to hear what you are
speaking.
Arnav: I have a call to attend shut the door while leaving
That was the sign Arnav gave Akash to leave his room
Anjali's Room :
Shyam was very upset, by inviting Sharda he thought it would be the end of Gupta's and raizada's so-called bonding
He knew Sharada and Manorama share animosity, both friends coming from the same financial background but Manorama getting more sharda ended up in nothing developed inferiority complex in sharda which was not unrecognized by raizada family
No one even invited her knowing her nature but Shyam did it discreetly just to formulate a rift between Raizada's and Gupta's but little did he know there is more in Mami's character that shyaam was yet to discover.
Anjali was sleeping after all weeping and a sudden reminiscence of her past gave her mental exhaustion.
Haldi /Marraige day
Early in the morning, Arnav called the meeting of the entire Raizada house
So all the family members were present in living Area
Arnav : By now you you all might have known that I and Khushi are together
He said while Looking at the di as she is the culprit to spread the word
Anjali giving him sheepish smile
Arnav: I want you guys to take shagun and haldi for Khushi while you take Payal's haldi I want our nuptials to happen this evening along with
Akash and payal
Anjali: So fast ..... may I know why to rush.
Lavanya: Oh common di Can't you see how desperate he is to bring his Khushi home
Devyani : I don't have any issues but will the Gupta's agree on such short notice.
Mama : Amma is right but we will talk to them
just for you.
Shyaam: I have some work I will have to leave now
This time even Anjali didn't make an effort to stop him
Arnav Mami Nk - Lavanya saw the defeated look in Shyam's eyes
At gupta house
All went well suprisingly,
instead of Anjali or Devyani
It was Manorama who asked for Khushi's hand on the insistence of Arnav.
They had a small engagement ceremony followed by Haldi
All the time payal avoids Akash
And now both the brides were getting ready Lavanya and Anjali were doing the need full
While Khushi was happy and on cloud nine Payal was just pretending to be
Khushi : haven't I told you one day my prince will come and I will ask him to not separate me from my jiji... look today we are getting married
in same house now no one can separate us.
Lavanya: Are you forgetting khushi have bonus point you will be elder in relationship now
Anjali: Now Khushi would be senior sister-in-law while payal would Be junior sister-in-law
Lavanya: Matlab total role reversals
Khushi : oh yeah! I will take revenge of all the torturous years you have given me jiji
Payal : "Tortuous years" You started speaking alot this days I will not stay quiet.
Khushi: You cannot do anything because I would be the elder one.
Khushi purposely teased her
Payal : I will. Complain to my brother-in-law. Then let me see what will you do.
With this khushi started blushing Buwaji and Garima came in
Looking the sister's happy they felt contended.
