SHANTIVAN, DELHI – 07:30 P.M.

AKASH-PAYAL'S ROOM



After Nani sent them off to their respective rooms to rest, all readily agreed as all were really tired, so Akash with Payal made way to their room. While coming Payal had seen the looks Arnav was giving to Khushi, in fact once out of family's sight he had picked up her up in his arms though it wasn't that couple ever shied from displaying their affections despite audience. She entered her room followed by Akash who closed the door behind him while she moved towards the dressing table to remove the heavy jewelleries, starting with the veil. He looked at her, still standing near the door and said: "Eh Payal, you... you are looking very beautiful today." pushing his specs up his nose with a finger nervously.



She looked at him though the mirror, replied: "Thank you Akash, you're also looking quite handsome." while removing her earring.



He stood awkwardly for a moment and then entered further in the room, started removing his jacket as he spoke: "Today's function went really well, right and everyone like you so much though I am sorry Mom was little rude to you a while ago. Please don't mind her words, she isn't bad though Mom always had a sharp-tongue but she is just bit insecure like all mothers are when their sons get married. You just be yourself and am sure she'll soon melt towards you in her own ways just like she has to Khushi Bhabhi. Though I assure you no matter what Mom says to you in front of us, she'll never degrade you in front of outsiders." pulling his jacket off and carefully kept it on a chair.



She removed the maang-tikka and kept it on the table then turned slightly turned towards him, saying: "I know Maaji isn't bad and yes though sometimes her words hurts but I have seen how she never degrades me in front of outsiders. She never shows her dislike in front of others, no matter how she behaves in presences of family and for this I am thankful that she makes sure that family matters remain in the family only. I understand Maaji's view point too, she had dreams about how she wanted your wife to be and I don't fit that picture in any way... I know with time I would surely win her heart, am not giving up so easily." removing her nose-ring and kept it on the table then went on working with the heavy necklace clasp.



He smiled at her while removing his kurta and said: "Thank you so much for being so understanding and I know you expect me to stand up for you in front of Mom. Even I want to do that but I don't knowing that if I did then things will worse for you because that will make Maate to be more insecure." and he kept the kurta on the chair as well, "Oh by the way, before I forget tomorrow you have to come to AR for fitting and trial for upcoming Fashion show and reception outfits of yours. Also, this week you and Khushi Bhabhi are going to practice walking on ramp along with other models of the show. So, be ready for that and don't worry permission from Dadi and Mom has been taken already about this." told her casually.
