Rhea was worried by the growing closeness of Ranbir and Prachi. Her plan had backfired on her as unsteady of Prachi dying, she had once again seen the true love and worry for her in his eyes.

Since the Satyanarayan puja couldn't be completed that day, it was again kept on the next day.

Ranbir was going down to attend the puja the next day, Rhea dropped him.

Rhea: Ranbir, forget what happened yesterday. I will perform the puja with you today, not Prachi.

Ranbir: Pandit ji has told a married couple to perform the puja and my only wife is Prachi, both legally and by heart.

Rhea: But you married me! I'm your wife.

Ranbir: Let me correct it, I was forced to marry you and I think you are literate enough to know that till a person's first wife is alive and not divorce, the second marriages is void. So, get it into your head you are not my wife.

Rhea: Don't make me angry Ranbir or.....

Ranbir: Or what? Will you complain to my....sorry your mother? I don't give a damn to what she says to me now. I have had enough of the drama and now I'll do what I want.

Rhea: You can't do this to me Ranbir.

Ranbir: I know. I should have done more and at least landed you in jail for the crimes.

Rhea got scared she thought Ranbir knee she was behind yesterday's incident.

Rhea: What crime?

Ranbir: They are uncountable but, for a moment, let's only consider your recent one like tempering my drink to sleep next to me.

Rhea: How did you know I did that? (she realized what she said). I mean I didn't forget that.

Ranbir: That means Shahana's guess was correct. You had mixed those tablets in my drink.

Rhea: Does she have any proof?

Ranbir: Not yet, but I will find it soon. Till then, start the countdown for your days to end here.

Ranbir left her and went downstairs.

Rhea as usual ran to her aunt, Alia to complain.

Rhea: Bhooji, Ranbir knows that I had mixed the tablet in his drink.

Alia: How is it possibly?

Rhea: That Shahana told him.

Alia: This Shahana is becoming a huge problem. I thought she will be gone out of the scene after sending Aryan abroad but she is still here.

Rhea: Do something bhooji. Shahana will spoil all our plans. She is even giving strength to Prachi and trying to patch up between Ranbir and Prachi.

Alia: Don't worry darling, I'll soon remove her from our path but let's go down now or Pallavi will search for us.

They too went downstairs to attend the puja.

The puja began and Ranbir held Prachi's hand and made her sit bedside him in case her mood had changes in a day.

Shahana, Dida and Vikram were the happiest. Pallavi was shocked that Rhea didn't react at it while Rhea added Alia were fuming in anger.

Pallavi: Why did you let Prachi do the puja with him? That place is yours.

Alia: Rhea did this for the family reputation, isn't it?

Rhea: Yes. Peach may not care about our family but I do. I don't want people to talk bad about us when they see two different girls doing puja with Ranbir on two different days.

Pallavi: This is why I love you so much. I just hope Ranbir gets his senses back and understands you are the best for him.

This time the puja was continuing without any problems but Shahana wouldn't take any risks and was keeping an eye everywhere. Till everyone came to know about Prachi's pregnancy, she considered it her responsibility to safeguard her sister and nephew/niece.

She was standing in a corner from where she could see everyone. Suddenly, Jai appeared there.

Jai: Hi.

Shahana: Hello.

Jai: I forgot to tell you yesterday, but you are looking really beautiful in this dress.

Shahana: Thank you

Jai: See, we are twinning also.

Shahana: So what? Wait a minute, are you trying to flirt with me?

Jai: I was just telling the facts and I don't think there any harm in complementing a beautiful girl.

Before Shahana could reply, someone closed her eyes with his hands from behind.

Voice: Guess who am I.

Shahana knew the touch was familiar but the voices confirmed her guess. She was pretty sure who the person was.

Shahana: Aryan! Is that you?

He removes his hand and she turned towards him.

Aryan: Yes.

Shahana (excitedly): Finally you are back! I....I mean we missed you so much.

Aryan: I missed you....you all too.

They hugged each other in excited and happiness.

Jai was jealous to see them together. He had been trying to get close to Shahana for sometime now but she was never do frank or close to him as she was with Aryan.

Jai (with fake smile): Welcome back Aryan. I'm so glad you are back.

His words made Arhana break the hug.

Aryan: Oh! You are here too. Sorry, I didn't see you.

Shahana: Let's go where everyone is standing. They will be so happy to see you.

She held his hand and dragged him toward the family members.
