Deep was stunned at the sight of Tara. He kept gazing at her beauty in amazement. (Ishq mein marjawan mouth organ tune is played in the background) He pondered, “Mr. Raichand was right! His daughter was the most beautiful woman among all the women that I have ever met.” He then continues to think, “Only a few minutes ago, I had wished to meet the woman of my life and now that wish is becoming true?” He kept gazing at Tara lost in those thoughts and questions along with being mesmerized in her beauty, when Tara comes near him and snaps near his ears. Deep jerks and looks towards Tara. Tara, “What happened Mr. Singhania? Are you lost on seeing me this late night? Or…she comes forwards and whispers into his ears…lost by seeing the most beautiful woman you always wanted to see right in front of your eyes? Deep shakes his head in surprise. His heart fluttered really fast and for the first time, he was in a confused state such that he became weak to handle things in front of him. Deep never thought that THE DEEP SINGHANIA, the Deep Singhania who could shake anyone in fear with his loud boisterous voice would fear shyly from the woman he wanted to meet all his life. Tara continues, “What happened Mr. Singhania? Don’t I look anywhere like the woman whom you wanted in your life?” Deep, “Wait a minute, how did you know about my desire to have the most beautiful woman as mine in my life?” Tara laughs loudly, “Mr. Singhania….” Before she could continue, Deep cuts in saying, “Deep! You can call me just Deep” Tara smiles furtively and continues, “Okay then Deep, this Tara just like the way she looks from outside is something really special from inside, she comes to know the very special desires of the very special men on this earth!” Deep shakes his head in confusion and asks, “How?” Tara laughs again and says, “Not now Deep, I will surely reveal more about it soon!” Deep still confused and unable to comprehend gazes reflexively at Tara. Tara continues, “Now leave all that and tell me don’t I look like the woman of your dreams?” Deep blushes at that question and tries to look away. He goes near the mirror, takes out his make-up kit and starts arranging the accessories around him. Tara, “You did not answer my question Deep” Deep, “Now you have to wait to get the answer to that question! Your dad wanted me to try my hands on you and make you look even more beautiful than you are. Let me first see how your beauty glows even more when I apply my hands on you!” Tara , “So you are not convinced that I’m really BEAUTIFUL?” Deep, “I did not say you don’t look beautiful rather I said that I will give a more apt answer when I have finished my work on you!” Tara, “Okay then go on.” Tara is about to sit in front of Deep so that he can try his hands on her but before that Deep puts his hand in front of her signaling to wait. Tara, “Now what is it?” Deep, “I always apply make-up to someone which matches with their clothes” Tara, “So what about my clothes, are they not alright?” Deep, “They are absolutely fine but I personally like women in bright Indian clothes, so I would like to do your make-up with you wearing something bright and Indian.” Tara, “So where will I go now to get bright Indian clothes?” Deep “You are in the studio of a make-up artist! An artist who has anything and everything to beautify his clients. Just go inside and on the right side you will find a cupboard in which you will surely get something bright and Indian!” Tara, “Okay then give me just five minutes” Tara goes inside, unlocks the cupboard, takes out of one of the dress (which was a white colored anarkali type of salwar kameez), puts it on and comes in front of Deep. Deep was even more mesmerized this time seeing Tara. Tara glowed even more in the white anarkali type of salwar kameez. Tara realizing Deep’s thoughts snaps from far and says, “If you don’t mind shall we start?” Deep nods and makes Tara sit in front of him. Soon he starts his work of putting on make-up on Tara’s face.
Aarohi’s house
Once Aarohi’s father returns, Aarohi comes to him after having completely changed into new clothes as her previous clothes had become dirty due to the fall she had from her cycle earlier. As Mr. Kashyap enters Aarohi asks him, “What happened Pa?” Mr. Kashyap, “I don’t know what exactly happened, there was fire all over the place where we keep hay for our cows” Aarohi, “Fire? But who would light fire in our place at this late night?” Mr. Kashyap, “I don’t know exactly and I don’t know what enmity would anyone have with my cows? Anyhow all our neighbors helped me out with putting off the fire. Although all the hay got burnt, the place and my cows are safe and sound” Aarohi, “Sorry Pa, I couldn’t turn up, I heard the loud bang sound, but I was a little too tired to get up immediately and see what had exactly happened” Mr. Kashyap looks cautiously at his daughter and says, “It’s ok dear, all our neighbors were present for help and you would have unnecessarily got worried if you had come along with me. Now since there is nothing to worry, you can go and lie down and take rest!” Aarohi nods and turns around to go towards her bedroom, when Mr. Kashyap asks from behind, “Were you crying Rooh?” Aarohi gets startled with that question and turns towards her father in puzzlement.
