EPISODE 20
RAICHAND MANSION,
LIVING ROOM,
All were seated in the living room; they were talking with each other,
Ishana: I think I should be leaving…. All must be waiting for me at home….
Sumitra: Beta, this is also like your home…. Whenever you feel, feel free to come here….
Ahana: Yes, Maa is right; you are not only Aniruddh’s friend but mine also….
Ishana: Yes, sure….
Aniruddh: Come, I’ll drop you….
Ishana: No, I’ll go…. You are meeting your family after a long time, stay with them….
All smile hearing her.
Shekhar: No beta, Aniruddh is right, let him drop you….
Arjun: Yes, Ishana we are here only now…. So he can spend some time elsewhere also….
Sonakshi: I’ll also come with both of you….
Ishana doesn’t feel good but she hides it and smiles,
Aniruddh: Let us go then….
Ishana greets everyone and they walk outside.
Aniruddh (Whispers to Sona): Why are you coming with us…? You know naa I want to spend some time with her….
Sonakshi: Are, then why didn’t you tell me…. I’ll not come…. (To Ishana) Sorry Ishana, but I am feeling tired, so you go with Aniruddh…. Next time I will definitely come with you….
Ishana: It is okay, I understand….
Sonakshi goes inside.
OUTSIDE MITTAL MANSION,
Ishana and Aniruddh get down from the car,
Ishana: Bye and thank you for dropping me home….
Aniruddh: No need of saying thanks (He smiles at her and she smiles back)
Ishana turns to go but Aniruddh holds her hand, she turns and looks at him surprised,
Aniruddh: Actually, I wanted to ask you something….
Ishana: What, what you want to ask?
Aniruddh: Why did you come to the airport with me? I mean you don’t know anyone from my family, still you came….
Ishana: Actually, I don’t know, I just felt like coming so I came…. Even I wanted to ask you something….
Aniruddh: Then ask me….
Ishana: Wo…. Sonakshi…. She came alone, her family? I mean….
Aniruddh: Sona and I were in school when her parents died in an accident…. From then she is staying with us…. We are her family and that is why she is here…. And that is why she is one of the most important people in my life….
Ishana is shocked to know this,
Ishana: I am sorry I didn’t know and I didn’t mean to hurt you….
Aniruddh: It is fine, you didn’t know, so you asked….
Ishana: Bye…
Aniruddh: Bye…
Ishana turns to go but turns back, she looks at her hand and they realize that he was still holding her hand, Aniruddh leaves her hand,
Aniruddh: Sorry….
Ishana: It is okay….
She turns and smiles feeling shy.
Aniruddh also turns and smiles at his stupidity.
OBEROI MANSION,
LIVING ROOM,
All were sitting in the living room,
Pinky: After ten days, we have a wedding but no one is taking any tension only….
Shivaay: Nothing like that mom, actually work is so much that everybody is just tired….
Dadi: But I don’t understand, what was the need for Om to go out, what work is more important than his wedding for him?
Priyanka: Dadi, you know naa Om Bhaiya, he has gone that means work is very important, otherwise he won’t go….
Shivaay: She is right Dadi, and don’t worry all work for the wedding will be done….
Janhvi was sitting quietly lost in her thoughts,
Anika: Badi Maa, what has happened to you? You look worried about something.
Janhvi comes out of her thoughts,
Janhvi: Nothing Anika, I am just worried about the wedding….
Rudra: Mom, you don’t worry, we are there naa, all work will be done….
Anika: Haa Badi Maa, we’ll take care of everything….
Tej understands Janhvi’s worries and decides to meet Shekhar as soon as possible.
Dadi: All of you listen carefully, mere Om ki shaadi hai, everything should be best….
Shakti: Yes Maa, everything will be best only….
Shivaay and Priyanka feel sad seeing their family so excited for the wedding.
Priyanka (thinking): I don’t know how everyone will react when they’ll know that the wedding will not happen and that Om Bhaiya is not here with us….
RAICHAND MANSION,
SHEKHAR-SUMITRA’S ROOM,

Shekhar: You are right Sumitra, I’ll talk to Tej and we’ll meet them soon.
Sumitra: Shekhar, we’ll we meet him also….
