At the living room

The family waited for their new member to show up to welcome her with their gifts.

Prisha went to Latha who blessed her with a peck on her forehead. Sameer side hugged her and patted her head lovingly.

"Chech, would you like some juice or tea?" Soumya asked her Prisha Chech to which Prisha replied tea and went to help her out. Latha had taught Soumya to be independent and be responsible from a young age, seeing the carelessness that she had suffered from raising Sanal. Latha always repented at not being strict enough to her son as she was for Soumya. 

Sanal saw that she had apparently changed her saree on his remark making him slightly sad for his behaviour but...

They were chatting and having their breakfast with Sanal quietly observing his 'wife' mingling smartly with his family.

"Dad, we should go. The meeting?" Sanal got up from his seat and reminded Sameer who screwed his eyebrows.

"Sanal! You can relax for today. I mean you need to visit the Varma's and moreover you have to leave for Switzerland, hm?" Sameer patted his shoulders to which he side eyed Prisha who was blushing badly.

"About that, dad...um...I don't think we can go. I mean we still have so much work to be looked after. And we have hardly a month to cover for the release of the course schedule and the appointments. *inhales deeply* Dad, we can go whenever we are free. Just not now," Sanal convinced his dad who looked at Prisha's sad face. Sameer tried to make Sanal go for the trip who didn't budge from his decision.

Prisha approached them and spoke in defence to her Sanal "Appa, its ok. I mean since the office needs him. It's important for him and his future. So, we can go anytime, hm?"

Latha patted her head lovingly who supported her husband and even respected her father-in-law's words.

The family could only desire for the new couples happiness and nothing else.

Prisha sat beside him in the front seat of his car.

"I have to leave immediately. Office needs my attention. Can you come back on your own?" Sanal voiced his opinion on her who nodded smilingly at him who preferred to not even glance at her.

Varma's residence

Sharanya was eagerly waiting for her daughter whom she had never parted with even for a day.

She used to always plead her mother to join for her school picnic or college outings. But Sharanya always kept her close to her saying that a beast would take away her princess from her mother.

Prisha smiled seeing her house which had suddenly become a new place for her.

She waited for Sanal to open her side of the door, but noticed that he had already walked towards the front door.

She shaked her head smiling and let herself out of the car.

Pradeep welcomed the newly wed by hugging both of them lovingly.

He offered them to accompany the couch comfortably. Prisha ran to her mother and hugged her crying.

"Kanna! What is it? Why are you crying?" Sharanya backed her Prisha a little and wiped her tears.

"I missed you," Prisha managed to tell in between her sobs. Previn caressed her hairs at her childishness. He scrunched his nose and looked at Sanal mouthing 'she is like that'. Sanal nodded his head giving a fake smile.

Sanal looked at the mother daughter duo thinking

"I don't know about that. But yes. Sharanya is no ordinary woman. She would go to any length for her family's happiness. Especially her only daughter,"

He cleared his throat and raised his right eyebrow. Sharanya then called them for a little snack to which Sanal got up abruptly saying

"Thank you. But...um...I need to go to office. Its urgent. See you, next time," Pradeep was taken aback by his attitude and tried to convince him but in vain.

Finally, Prisha made her parents understand the seriousness of her husband's work schedule.

Pradeep then invited them for some other time when he would be free.

Prisha said that she wanted to arrange her books from her room and take some with her. So, she would stay back and Previn agreed to drop her home.

Sanal looked back at Prisha who lovingly smiled at him blushing remembering the night. She looked down to avoid his powerful gaze.

Sanal gulped and tried to forget the night. He drove off to drive his mind from her thoughts.

Menon office

Dino was assisting the manager to arrange for the photo shoot for their next project.

The model was getting ready with the assigned dresses and makeup as advised by Dino for the shoot.

"What!! No Iced Americano! Are you fucking kidding me, right now?!!!" Dino heard the scream from the dressing room. He rushed to the scene to see his assistants and other artists looking at a certain person who was standing with his hands on his hips glaring at the shoot manager.

"Sir, we could manage only this. I think iced lemonade would be your choice. Considering that it was few days back," the manager tried to clarify his side of argument.

"So?!! I am professional model. Who by the way is always ahead of the fashion trends. You are teaching me about the trends. Don't you dare, you old goat! Cheapskate company! Who can't even manage to arrange for the artist's small demands, humph!!" The model flipped his hair berating the manager.

"Ahhh!!!!"

Dino snickered handling the glass to his manager who got scared at the next step that the model would take after the insult.

The model tried to looked through his drenched eyes being shadowed by the juice being royally poured on by Dino.

"I will sue you!!!" the model screamed his lungs out at Dino. Dino folded his hands on his buffed chest ordering him.

"Get out!!!"

The manager was happy with his boss who showed the model his original place.

The model was followed by his assistant who tried to console him.

Dino caught hold of his head trying to control his frustrations.

He told his manager to pack up and cancel the shoot. As it would take another few days for him to find a model for their shoot.

Sanal's cabin

Dino crashed in the cabin and slumped on the chair with a growl.

"I hate when you have to deal with idiots! God! Where am I going to find another model in two days!" Dino was getting frustrated at the bad omen fell on him from the start of the project.

He first lost all the files that he had saved on his drive. He crashed his PC a few times making him go back to square one.

He went to the creative meeting an hour late and almost lost the team's confidence.

Today's shoot was the last straw in his line of bad luck. Sanal looked at him and scoffed which angered him more.

"What are laughing at?!! You lucky bastard! you got yourself a queen to look after you! And me!! I am stuck here doing your work while you be gone for your 'quoting in the air' honeymoon, humph!!"

Sanal closed the file with a thud and got up going towards the coffee machine preparing himself some decaf.

Dino sensed some tension in his bestie. So, he asked him to which he said that he had cancelled the honeymoon trip as he wanted to concentrate on the venture.

Dino shaked his head and told him that he would take care of the work till he comes back. But Sanal had already cancelled the trip and even the resort booking which had apparently angered his dad and uncle.

Dino felt sorry for Prisha and he conveyed the same to Sanal who scoffed taking Dino by surprise.

Sanal brushed aside his remark and told him to contact the models for the shoot.

They resumed their work not aware of the future trouble that was brewing in some nasty corner of a dungeon.

Varma residence

Prisha was picking the books that she would carry with her back to her house. She suddenly came across her childhood album that she had kept quite below her closet.

She looked at the pranks that she used to pull on her family or friends.

She saw the photo of the school farewell alongwith Benisha and Gaurav. They were together since their childhood and were inseparable for life.

She called Benisha suddenly remembering her bestie who had planned a trip to the beach for a relaxing trip.

"Yo! Dude! How is my bride? Slept well, darling?!!!" Benisha was low screaming because of the gush of breeze coming from behind her on the beach. She was walking on the beach with Gaurav scrolling on his phone tensed.

Prisha told her that she was ok and asked about Gaurav. Benisha rolled her eyes saying that he had presumably lost the gift card to free food from the hotel staff and was searching for the pic that he might have taken.

Prisha facepalmed herself at the boy's clumsiness and continued her talk with Benisha.

She kept the call after her long conversation with her besties and told them to return back soon for a get together.

"Kanna?" Sharanya came inside her room and saw her daughter arranging her suitcase.

She bought her some snacks as she was aware of Prisha's hunger streak which would elate every two – three hours.

Prisha was happily talking about her time in the Menon house and the way the family pampered her.

Then she suddenly she went silent and walked towards the window.

Sharanya got puzzled and asked her to which she fiddled with her saree pallu slightly blushing.

Sharanya quite understood her dilemma and went to close her room door.

She caressed her daughter's hair and asked her again.

Prisha looked at her mom and tried to clear her doubts.

"Mumma, is it...um...ok...if I had the medicine after...um...the night," Prisha then turned her back trying to hide her embarrassment. She wanted to prepare herself for her Sanal and their lovely night together. So, she thought to ask her mother as she felt a little shy to ask anyone else.

Sharanya was puzzled at first and then remembered the issue. She smiled and told her that it was ok to have them with proper prescriptions and if in doubt they could always visit the gynaecologist.

"Kanna, you should take care of your health first in order to...um...you know, hm?" Sharanya was finding slightly awkward to converse with her daughter about such a complicated but important issue.

Prisha nodded her head still blushing. Sharanya then diverted her attention by speaking about the family's preparation for Previn and Uvika' wedding.

Prisha said that she would come whenever her mother would want her for any help.
