@Chabra house...

Avinash comes to Samriti's house.

Shamila gets very happy to see him. Avi is very close to Samriti's family.

Shamila (happy) – Avi ... when did you return from the US ?? How are you ?? I am so happy to see you.

Avi goes and hugs Shamila.

Avi – I too am very happy to see you, aunty. you know I missed you all so much. acha where is uncle ?? And lucky ??

Shamila – your uncle did not return from the bank and Lalit too is in his office and your best friend is sleeping in her room. you go and wake her up.

Avi – hahaha ok ok.

Avi goes and pours a glass full of water on her face.

Samriti gets very angry...

Samriti – you idiot how dare you....

She chases him and finally catches him, and beats him to a pulp... later they both sit with Shamila and talk...

Avi gets a call from his father.

Avi – hello dad... now why did you call ??

Rajnath – give the phone to Samriti.

Avi – why??

Rajnath – I said give it.

Avi gives the phone to Samriti.

Avi – shona dad wants to talk to you it seems..

Samriti takes the call

Samriti – hello uncle....

Rajnath tells her something which makes her fume in anger...

after that Samriti cuts the call and hits Avi with his phone.

Samriti(angry) – tu kab samjhega Avi ....(when will you understand Avi )

Avi – ohhh so dad told you.

Shamila – what happened Samriti ?? Why are you shouting at him?

Samriti – ma he again fought with aunty.(to Avi ) why do you hate her? She is your mother Avi... How long will you punish her for that thing ??

Avi – Samriti please let's stop this discussion. you know very well why I hate her...

Samriti – ha I know but that is wrong she did not do anything deliberately...

Avi – stop it shona. I don't want to talk about her. Just because you asked me to meet her. I went. Otherwise, I have no plan of seeing her face...

Samriti – just shut up. First, you go and apologize to her for your rude behavior... Until then don't show your face to me. Go..

Avi – shonaa please yaar.. I can't even tolerate her presence and you want me to apologize to her ??

Samriti – I said just go....

Avi goes.

Shamila – hmm I don't know when will he realize that she(Avi's mother) is not at fault.

Samriti – I am trying my level best to make him understand ma....but he is not ready to listen to me.

just then Lalit calls her.

Samriti – ha lucky bolo(yes lucky tell me)

Lalit – diii you come to Starnights restaurant. Let's have fun. Ruchika and her brother are also coming...

Samriti – oyyy why is my boss coming there...

Lalit – He is Ruchika's brother. I introduced you to Ruchika right, the same way she is going to introduce her brother to me.

Samriti – ok you carry on. I won't come.

Lalit – why ?? are you afraid of your boss. He is your boss at work. I thought you were a professional but unfortunately, I'm wrong. (Lalit knows that he had hit the right arrow)

Samriti – shut up you unlucky idiot. I am not afraid of anyone, I will come.

Lalit – that's good.

He hangs up.

He gives hi-fi to Kunal and Ruchika.

Kunal – wow, Lalit you are a very good actor. I must say.......

Lalit – haha right but your fiancee is a better actor... Now start your work..

Ruchika – ha bhai come on call bhabhi....

(They are planning to play with her)

Kunal calls Samriti. While Samriti is getting ready.

Samriti sees the caller id and smiles. She immediately picks up the call.

Samriti – hello...

Samriti – nothing.... getting ready for going out.

Kunal – ohh with your friends....

Ruchika – shut up you both are really very bad. Bhai how can you silently sit like this. See how he is talking about your fiance.....

Kunal – arre Ruchika he is kidding....

Lalit(laughs) – hahahaha this is the best joke.....

Kunal and Lalit laughs hard while Ruchika keeps an angry face but after sometime she too joins them...

Samriti gets ready, bids bye to Shamila and leaves to the restaurant.....

Samriti enters there in a red color Anarkali suit. Kunal sees her and opens his mouth widely...

Ruchika – close your mouth. And don't stare at her like that. She may suspect...

Kunal comes into senses.

Lalit – hmm wahhh jiju what a control. you did not even ask her to wear this dress. you just said that red suits her and there she is....in red suit....hmmm. what a connection... hai na Ruchika....(isn't it Ruchika ??)

Ruchika – haa you are absolutely right Lalit....

Lalit – ha because your team member came. See...and ha I am your Saala(BIL) only.. no need to remind me..hehehe....(giggles)

Samriti is still searching for them... but she then sees Kunal...

she goes to them.

Samriti – hi Ruchika...hiii sir....

Ruchika – hiiii dii.... how are you ??

Samriti – fine, what about you ??

Ruchika – fine di...

they all sit together and talk about random stuff

Kunal – excuse me guys. I will be back.

(Winks at Lalit)

Lalit understands.

Kunal walks away

Just then Samriti gets a call from Kunal...

Samriti – hello

Kunal – you are looking absolutely stunning in red color suit....

Samriti(blushes and sees around) – did you see me ??

Kunal – yes, I am still seeing you...

Kunal is seeing her and he is amused to see her impatience to see him...

Samriti is searching every corner of the restaurant...but she cannot find anyone talking on the phone.

Samriti – where are you ??

Kunal – I think you forgot about the bet. you can't find me. So don't look here and there for me.

Samriti – hmm so you are watching me.

Kunal – yes.. acha okay bye. I have a meeting.

Samriti – ok bye....

she cuts the call.

Ruchika and Lalit tease her for some time, and Kunal too comes there after a while...

They all order and starts relishing the food...

Just then Lalit sees someone tiptoeing towards Samriti.

Lalit gets shocked to see that person. But he signals him not to show any expression. He is about to close her eyes... But Samriti stops him.

Samriti – Avi... What makes you think I can't guess it's you ??

Kunal seeing him fumes in anger.

Avi(surprises) – Shona how did you get to know ??

Samriti(laughs) – by seeing you this duffer's(pointing towards Lalit) expressions changed. By seeing him shocked and happy I got to know that it was you.

Lalit goes and hugs Avi ...

Lalit – finally I am back. you know this devil has troubled me a lot in these two years. Even papa supports her. I lost my biggest support system when you went to US Avi ...

Samriti – oyyy stupid... you are saying as if I am torturing you...

Ruchika – di who is he ??

Samriti – oh sorry... I forgot to introduce......Avi, you know Kunal sir right... she is his sister....Ruchika Upadhyay.. Lalit's best friend. And Ruchika he.......

Avi (interrupts Samriti) – ohhh hii nice to meet you I am Avinash... Samriti's best friend...

Samriti – Avinash Singhania....

Avi – Samriti you know I hate to introduce myself with my surname...

Samriti(laughs) – hmmm I know.....but I love to do the things you hate....

Lalit – come on Avi .... join us.....

Avi – yeah sure.....

Kunal (thinks) – besharam....(shameless fellow)

they all five talks about different topics. Samriti and Avi 's closeness is affecting Kunal more.

Lalit – are you fine Ji....

Kunal and Ruchika looks on shocked..... Samriti sees Lalit calling...

Lalit – jeena jeena song..... are you fine if I play jeena jeena song ??

Samriti – lucky I will give you a return gift. A seat in a mental asylum...

Avi – but why return gift....

Avi – what ?? Pehle bolo to sahi.(first tell me what's the matter)

Samriti – I am getting married...

Avi (shocks) – what ?? are you mad ??

Samriti and all are shocked

Samriti – why are you saying like that ?? What's wrong in this ??

Avi – there is nothing wrong in marriage Shona. But you could have told me earlier right ?? I would have checked his background and then you could have proceeded. what's so hurry....

Kunal – ha but I think it's her life... she has the right to decide about her future...

Avi – you are right Mr. Upadhyay... but it's not only her life.... If something goes wrong then all have to suffer along with her.....

Samriti – Avi I know where you are coming from..... papa checked everything. he is from a very good family. And papa liked him very much....

Avi (emotional) – Samri... I don't understand. Suma ke saath itna kuch hone ke baad bhi tum....(Whatever happened with suma even after that you are saying this ??) Anyways... You knew better...

Avi gets up from his place.

Avi – ok guys.. I will see you later....

Samriti – Avi... listen to me....

Avi leaves without hearing her... Kunal gets angry, but keeps mum...

Samriti gets sad as she knows his past...

Ruchika – di who is Suma ?? your friend is talking about some Suma ??

Samriti – hmmm Suma is his sister... acha now leave this topic.

Lalit – diii please don't tell Avi about the bet, if he knows you didn't even see the groom, he will kill us both together...

Samriti – ha ok ok. I will not...

Kunal (innocently) – which bet Lalit ??

Lalit (thinks) – wahhh jiju kya acting hai...(Woah... What an acting Brother-in-law) You deserve an Oscar...

Lalit – wohhh actually Mr. Upadhyay.... I and my diii has a bet That she will not see the groom until her engagement. Not even know his details.

Kunal – ohhh really. you are so different Samriti.....

Samriti smiles awkwardly...
