Raavi enters her office where she is called by her boss MR.ZEN

Mr.Zen: Hey Raavi, Actually I called you to talk to you about something personal.

Raavi: Yes Sir 

Mr. Zen : Actually my son likes you a lot and wants to marry you.

Raavi was hell shocked.

Raavi: What? Michael wants to marry me.

Sorry to say but I have always considered him as my good friend and nothing else. I can't do this.

Mr.Zen : I don't think I asked you. As a boss I am ordering you. He loves you alot believe me.

Raavi: You are my boss but in my professional life not in my personal life. 

Mr.Zen : You cannot reject my son's proposal .I gave you this job and hence you are here today , If I want I can remove you from this job easily.

Raavi was more than angry. She removed her   office card and threw it across the table.

Raavi: What will you remove me? I will only leave this job. You are no one to control me or my life. 

Mr.Zen : This will cost you alot Raavi.

Raavi turns away and leave angrily from there.

1 Month Later In Jaipur

A haveli was booked for all the pre wedding rasam of Dev and Rishita. The haveli looked beautiful. Guests were limited but their laughter and chuckle could be heard aloud.

Krish and Anita had reached the venue and started the preparation for their engagement.

Shiva along with Dhara and Gautam arrived.

Rishita and Dev saw them.

Dev : Aree Shiva aa gaya

Dev hugs Shiva and greets Dhara and Gautam.

Dev and Shiva leave.

Rishita greets Dhara.

Rishita: Aapko pata hain Raavi India aayi hain.

Dhara: Kya?(shocked)

Rishita: Haan aur mujhe pura yakeen hain voh aaj sagai mein jarur aayegi ( happily)

Gautam: Tumhe kaise pata chala?

Rishita: Maine prafulla masi ko invitation dene ke liye phone kiya tha tab pata chala ki Raavi kuch dino pehle hi aayi ghar.

Dhara happily cries.

Dhara: Yeh toh bahot achi khabar di tumne rishita.

Shiva: Kya? Voh yaha aayi hain? (Confused)

Rishita turns.

Rishita: Haan Shiva aur tu dekna aaj voh aayegi. Mujhe pura yakeen tha Raavi aayegi.

Shiva tu bhi usse baat kar lena aur misunderstandings clear kar dena.

Shiva: Sab mujhe hi kyun bol rahe hain? Usse koi kyun nahi bolta? Aur mein usse baat nahi karnewala.

Shiva picks up the bags and angrily leaves .

Gautam: Ab kya hoga?

Dhara: Pata nahi

In Evening

Till now Krish Anita everyone comes to know that Raavi has arrived in India.

Krish: Mein toh Raavi se milne ke liye bahot excited hoon. Sabse pehle mein usse hug karunga

Rishita: Shaadi meri hain, mein usse hug karungi

Dev: Toh meri bhi shaadi hain mein karunga pehle.

Rishita: Par invitation toh maine diya na

All of them quarrel. Shiva fumes in anger seeing this.

Meanwhile Anita see Prafulla masi's car arriving.

Anita: Guysss Raavi aa gaiii

Shiva is stunned to see the car coming. His heart starts beating loudly. His throat becomes dry. His eyes wells up. Though he looks away but still keeps glancing at the car.

Prafulla masi comes out of the car along with masa and closes the door.

Rishita: Aree Raavi kaha hain? Bas bhi Raavi ab aur kitna natak karegi bahar aaja.

Prafulla doesn't say anything

Krish: Kya re Rishita voh yeh car mein kyun aayegi? Uski toh khud ki car hogi na. Jarur peeche aa rahi hogi.

Anita: Ha barabar.

Everyone keeps staring at the road. Shiva also keeps staring.

Prafulla: Voh nahi aayi

Everyone is shocked and teary eyed

Rishita : Kya??? Raavi India aayi hain par meri shaadi mein nahi aayegi. Aapne usko kuch bola kyun nahi

Prafulla : Usne meri ek baat nahi suni 

Krish: Voh theek toh haina? 

Prafulla : Hmm

Shiva gets relieved knowing she is alright but doesn't show. He smirks and says

Shiva : Kya bol rahi thi tu Rishita?  Mujhe Yakeen hain Raavi aayegi blah blah. Maine bola tha na voh videsh ki ho gai hain ab. Usse hum se kuch farak nahi padta. 

Rishita : Mein wait karungi uska

Everyone starts getting ready for engagement. Dev and Rishita comes on stage but Rishita Krish Anita Dev keeps looking at the entrance hoping Raavi would come anytime. They wait for a long time but muhurat is soon going to pass away. So Dev's parents insist on starting the ring ceremony. 

Shiva : Chal Dev ring pehna. Joothi umeed chod do , Voh nahi aayegi.

Dev sadly makes Rishita wear the ring. Rishita too takes the ring and is about to make Dev wear it when...

A car comes up at the entrance.
