Agarwal Mansion.

Pandit: papaji aap yeh kya keh rahe hai?

Preeti: Ha papa, Sameer aur Naina saath mein....Hum use ache se jaante tak nahi hai.

Rama: To janne ki koshish karte hai na Preeti.

Rakesh: Dekho Naina, mujhe pata hai ki maine yeh sab tumse bina pucha hi tay kar lia. Par beta Sameer bohot acha ladka hai, aur tumhare liye bilkul sahi hai.

Rama: Ha Naina, aaj jab hum mile na toh ekdum se use attached sa laga. Aur tumne dekha na ki woh apne family ka kitna dhyan rakhta hai. Vishakha bhabhi bhi bol rahi thi ki woh ekdum seedha sadha sa aur family person hai. Aaj kal ke ladke aise thodi na hote hai.

Preeti: Mummy, aunty toh uski taarif hi karengi na par agar reality mein kuch aur hua toh?

Pandit: hume pehle thik se puri jaanch padtal karni padegi.

Rakesh: isiliye toh hum tumhe keh rahe hai ki tum socho. Tumhe jitna time chahiye utna lo. Naina hamara tumpe koi pressure nahi hai,jobhi faisla hoga woh akhri faisla tumhara hi hoga.

Everyone was looking at Naina while she was still in shock.

Rama: Naina aaram se sochke faisla le. Aur ab hum sab so jaate hai aur thodi der Naina ko akele sochne dete hai.Preeti-Pandit tum bhi jao aur koi tension mat lena.

Naina sits on the terrace all alone watching everyone retiring to their rooms.

Maheshwari Mansion.

The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene, bringing with it a flurry of early morning activity. Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspiration.

With earphones plugged in his ears, Sameer was all sweaty and perspired due to running physically and mentally. His father's words could not let him sleep peacefully. All positive and negative thoughts were running across his mind since last night. While bodily he had reached the Mansion's gate. He viewed at his Bhai and bhabhi sipping their morning tea as usual.

Sameer: Good morning!

Swamun: Good morning!!

Swati: Toh devarji, meri devraniji ke baare me kuch socha ya nahi?

Sameer: Bhabhi please.

Swati: Please kya, sochna toh padega na.

Sameer: Nahi abhi tak kuch nahi socha.

Munna: Arre isme sochna kya hai, haa bol de. Tujhse waise bhi koi pattni nahi hai.

Swati: Itni toh ladkiya hai inke peeche.

Munna: Lekin saath la hi nahi raha na ye. Kisiko toh haa bole.

Sameer: Aapne thodi na itni jaldi haa ki thi, apne bhi toh time liya tha na.

Munna: Ha kyuki woh teri bhabhi thi na, Naina nahi.

Hearing this Swati glares at Munna making him tongue tied.

Swati(To Sameer): kya baat hai Sameer, koi problem hai kya?

Sameer: Koi problem nahi hai Bhabhi. bas itni jaldbaazi, I mean sab aise itni jaldi decision lena, kuch gadbad toh nahi hogi na?

Munna: Yeh jaldbaazi nahi hai Sameer, Bas sab chahte hai ki tu ache se settle down ho, apni life partner ke saath khush ho. Meri bhi toh shaadi yahi age mein hui thi na. Sameer yahi age sahi hai, kyuki abhi hi samay hai jab tum apne life partner ko samjha, uske saath apna quality time spend karo. Ek baar jab yeh time chala gaya na toh tumhe yeh sab experience karne nahi milega kyunki uss qakt tum family, professional responsibilities mein itne ulajh jauge toh tumhe ek dusre ko time dena bohot mushkil ho jayega, which may lead to misunderstandings or anything else. Aur hume Naina tera saath dene ke liye ekdum sahi lagti hai.
