"Shivi, Prerna kahan hai?" as the Basu's enters the Sharma Nivas Anurag ask to Shivani.
"Woh kal raat unke friend ke ghar ruk gayi thi, mene abhi call kiya tha aa rahi hain." replied Shivani
"Okay" says Anurag
"Waise tumhain call nehi kya kiya unhone?" asked Shivani
"Nehi kal jab woh mujhse jail mein milne aayi thi tab last meri baat hui thi." replied Anurag
"Oh" says Shivani
"Aur ek baar call karo na Shivi." says Anurag
"Haan karti hun." Shivani says and called Prerna.

In the car
Prerna picked the call.
"Shivi mene kaha na main aa rahi hun toh tu bar bar kyun call kar rahi hai." Prerna says in a annoying tone.
"Prerna main hun Anurag. Aur tum gussa kyun ho rahi mene hin Shivi ki call karne ke liye kaha tha. Mujhe bas puchna tha tumhe aur kitna waqt lagega ghar aane mein." says Anurag
"I am on my way thodi der mein aa jaungi." Prerna says and cut the call.

"Kya hua everything OK?" asked Rishab
"Yes everything is okay." replied Prerna
"Aapki sister ka call tha na aap itna gussa kyun kar rahi thi?" asked Rishab
"Shivi nehi Anurag tha, Shivi ke phone se call kiya tha. They are already in my house." replied Prerna

As they reached Prerna's house Rishab off the engine and going to get down from car when Prerna stops him.
"Kya hua Mrs. Bajaj aapko daar lag raha hai kya?" asked Rishab
"Haan thoda sa." replied Prerna
"Abhi toh ghar pe aapka confidence level full high tha ab kya ho gaya?" Rishab says with a smirk.
"Haan par yahan aake sab confidence gayab ho gaya." Prerna replied with a pout.
Rishab smiles looking at her antics.
"Aap yeh hasna band kijiye." Prerna says in anger and Rishab stops smiling.
"You have to be strong Prerna to face your family. I know meri family ne aasani se humari shaadi ko accept karli but aapki family itni aasani se humari shaadi ko accept nehi karegi par aapko unhe batana padega. Don't worry I am with you. Kuch nehi hoga OK. just relax. Ab chalen warna phir se call aa jayega aur aap phir se gussa karengi." Rishab says and Prerna nods.

They both get down from the car and take slow steps towards Sharma Nivas.

They stood in front of door and Prerna knocked it nervously.
Prerna clutched her fist in fear and Rishab placed his hand on her her.
"Just relax" Rishab says and Prerna look at him.

At that moment Anurag opens the door. He is going to hugged Prerna but halt on his place seeing Rishab with her. Then he look Prerna head to toe. She is wearing a Mangalsutra and her hairline is filled with sindoor that shocked.
"Prerna yeh Sindoor, Mangalsutra sab kya hai? Aur yeh Mr. Bajaj tumhare saath kya kar rahe hain?" asked Anurag
"Mr. Basu kya hum andar chalke baat kar sakte hain?" says Rishab
"Mr. Bajaj mene aapse nehi Prerna se pucha hai aap hamare beech mein kyun bol rahe hain." Anurag says angrily.
"Anurag, Mr. Bajaj sehi keh rahe hain hum andar chalke baat karte hain, please." Prerna says and they entered the house.
