It was 8:00 and finally, the party was taking place. The night sky was royal blue sprinkled with sparkly stars. The outside of the Mehra house (Prem's house) was beautifully decorated. It had fairy lights and balloons.

Prem, Priya, Preeti, Sameer, Sadhana, Vivek, Rahul, Anjali, Amar, Neha, Anand, Sangeeta, Rohan, Simran, Lalloo and Chameli didn't wear anything fancy for this party. Firstly because they decided to have the party today, so they had to prepare everything quickly, they couldn't decide what to wear. Secondly, a few guests came, not random people of India, like their relatives and friends, so everything was low-key.

They all were in the other part of the house. It was like a garden, except it was kind of inside. It had a big fountain, a swing, a bench, some tables and chairs and a big balcony that lead to the upstairs rooms. It was white and had balloons and fairy lights. It also had the two banners.

"We really did a good job, didn't we guys?" Rohan said. They all stood together in one place, chatting. His arm on Simran's shoulder.

"Haan. That's what happens when you work together and not to just be lazy, Rohan." Anjali said.

"Madonna, don't spoil the party mood. Not like you did on Karva Chauth. You love to suck the fun out of anything." Rahul said. Anjali glared at Rahul and said,

"Yeh joke tha?"

"Haan toh." Rahul replied.

"I don't like jokes." Anjali replied.

"I don't like you." Rahul said back.

"Well you love her, that's true." Priya added. They all laughed.

"Nice one Priya. That rhymed." Neha said.

"Tu shayar hai. Main teri shayari." Preeti sang to tease Priya. It was the amazing song, Tu Shayar Hai, from Madhuri Dixit's iconic film, Saajan.

"Are Preeti. You've just been going on about Saajan and Madhuri Dixit this whole afternoon and evening. Why don't you stop? It's not like she knows you." Amar said.

"Toh kya hua? If I ever meet her, I will tell that main unki sabse badeh fan hai." Preeti said confidently.

"Uh no Preeti. No. Just no. It will never work. Sorry." Rahul said.

"Kyun nahi hoga?" Sangeeta said.

"She isn't going to come here when she is busy shooting Raja with Sanjay Kapoor." Rohan said.

"And even if she does come, there may be alot of paparazzi." Neha said.

"Sometimes I feel sorry for her. The fact that she has so many fans, she can't tend to them. But I wish I was in her position." Anjali said.

"Same." Preeti said. "To be in the world's heart." Preeti said dreaming.

"When Sanjay Kapoor comes, I will tell him I'm Anil Kapoor's biggest fan. And obviously his biggest fan." Simran said.

"Oh one two ka four. Four two ka one. My name is Lakhan. My name is Lakhan." Amar, Neha, Anjali, Rahul, Sameer, Preeti, Rohan, Sangeeta, Anand, Rohan and Simran sang.

"And his song with Madhuri Dixit. Oh Dhak Dhak Karne Laga." Priya began singing doing a little action with her hands.

"Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga. Re Re Dhak Dhak Karne Laga. Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga. Saiya Baiya Chhod Na." Simran and Preeti sang.

Anand blew a whistle with his fingers.

"Priya, you really can sing. And Preeti." Anand said.

"Simran is amazing though." Priya said.

"Haan. But Priya Jiji you're not so bad yourself." Simran said.

"Exactly. You, Simran and Preeti are not bad at singing." Prem said wrapping his arms around Priya's waist and leaned down to kiss and smooch her cheek softly. He put his cheek against hers and she leaned against his touch.

"And? What about us, huh? Are you going to keep gassing up your Rajkumari? Prem that's rude." Rahul said in a fake dramatic voice and the others who sang My Name Is Lakhan laughed. Prem began blushing.

"Hai hai! He's blushing." Sameer said.

"And all of you." Prem said laughing.

"Wow guys you're making so much noise. We can hear you from all the way here." Sadhana said walking over to them with Vivek.

"What's all the fuss about?" Vivek asked kindly, one arm around Sadhana's shoulder.

"Madhuri Dixit." Prem and Priya said.

"Jeeja ji, don't you think it will be a good idea that if I ever meet Madhuri Dixit, then I should tell her I'm her biggest fan?" Preeti said.

"Oh Preeti. You won't stop talking about Madhuri." Sadhana said.

"What can I say? One day fate might let you meet her." Vivek said.

"I doubt it." Rahul said and snorted.

"Rahul." Anjali said. "You never know." She added.

"Look at all the food. Nicely arranged. It looks like a banquet hall." Neha said. It was all of the extra food Madhu gave and it was on beautiful plates placed on a table.

"Well Priya actually arranged the food like that so neatly and professionally. Great job Priya." Anjali said.

"Well let's just be careful Pritam Uncle doesn't scoff the food up before the party starts." Sameer said.

"Haan." They all agreed.

"Don't worry. I told Papa not to touch the food until all the party fun starts." Priya said.

"That's a good idea." Prem said laughing. "We thank Madhu for the extra contribution." He added.

"Haan." Priya said and she smiled.

They all began chatting and laughing. Simran went back to the living room to see if anything needed finishing.

The living room was quiet. Guests were arriving to the other side.

She was looking through some boxes and singing.

"My name is Lakhan. My name is Lakhan. Sajanon Ka Sajan Mera Naam Hai Lakhan." She sang the famous Anil Kapoor song from Ram Lakhan.

Then someone knocked on the door. But the door was already open. It was Vishal.

"Hello?" He said.

"If you're here for the party, go to the back side." Simran called.

"Umm?" Vishal hesitated. "Where is the back?" He asked.

Simran's eyes lit up and her face was bright.

"Sanjay Kapoor." She said quietly and happily. She had no idea that this was Priya's boss, Vishal Mehta, not Sanjay Kapoor.

She turned around and smiled gleefully. Vishal was confused. Simran had her hands underneath her chin.

"Awwww." She said.

"Ummm?" He hesitated.

"Aaye na. (Come in). " Simran said happily.

Vishal stepped in.

"Um so where is the party?" Vishal asked walking next to Simran.

"Are re. The party hasn't started yet." Simran said.

"Acha? I came so early." Vishal said.

"Your voice is like music to my ears." Simran said cheerfully.

"Kya? My voice? Music to your ears." Vishal said.

"Acha. Can you sing a song from your film Raja?" She asked.

"My film Raja?" Vishal hesitated.

"Or even a dialogue will do." Simran said.

Vishal made a funny and confused face.

"Fine. Don't sing or say. I will sing. Kisi din banoongi mein raja ki rani. Zara phir se kehna." Simran sang melodically. She did actions to go with the song. Vishal was still clueless.

"Vah vah vah!" Simran said and they both laughed. They clapped and high fived.

"You can sing very nicely." Vishal said.

"Acha? Shall I sing something else?" She asked.

"Acha go." Vishal said.

"Nazrein mili, dil dhadka meri dhadkan ne kaha, love you Raja." Simran sang, and she did more actions.

"Acha! It seems like your voice is music to my ears." Vishal said happily.

"Acha. Thank you. You see I can't wait for your film Raja to release soon." Simran said.

"Raja? Yeh Raja koun hai? (Who's this Raja?)" Vishal asked.

"Yeh Raja koun hai bol rahi hai! (He's saying who is this Raja!) Aap bohot mazaki ho, Sanjay Kapoor ji." She laughed and they both laughed.

"You've worked with Madhuri Dixit ji right? She's great and she is an amazing actress. When you go to shoot Raja please tell her Simran Mehra is her biggest fan." Simran said.

"Acha. Do you sing alot?" Vishal asked.

"Haan. I sing very nicely. I am a big fan of your brother. Bohot acha acting karti hain." Simran said.

"Mere bhai Govinda?" Vishal said teasing.

"Hahaha! Aap bohot mazaki hai." Simran said hitting Vishal gently.

"Nahi, Anil Kapoor ji. You know, Ae Ji O Ji, Ae Ji O Ji Lo Ji Suno Ji. Main Hu Man Mauji. Karta Hu Main Jo Woh Tum Bhi Karo Ji. One Two Ka Four. Four Two Ka One. My Name Is Lakhan. My Name Is Lakhan." Simran sang and danced.

"Acha ek baat batao. Yeh one two ka four, what does it mean?" He asked.

"I don't know. Ask your brother." Simran said.

"Aur yeh Lakhan koun hai? Tumhara boyfriend?" Vishal asked.

"Sanjay Kapoor ji, aap bohot mazaki hai." Simran laughed and he laughed.

"Thank you, Miss Simran. I think I can be the next Govinda." Vishal said.

"But you are just as amazing as Anil Kapoor sir." Simran said.

"Thanks. But he is way better than me." Vishal said.

"You both are good. So, do you know why you've come to this party?" She asked.

"Why? To perform the songs from Raja?" He asked.

"Nahi. You need Madhuri Dixit ji to perform. Basically my bhabi is pregnant so we threw a party, which was supposed to take place last week. Lekin, my brother's girlfriend, Priya was attacked that night so we couldn't have the party." Simran began.

"Acha? That's so bad. I'm so sorry." Vishal pretended to be shocked. "Is she okay?" He asked.

"Haan. We are also celebrating Priya Jiji's comeback and recovery from hospital. Her boss named Vishal Mehta found her and took her to hospital. Such a good man." Simran said.

"Haan. Vishal is a very kind man. Lekin I've never met him before." Vishal said.

"Are re. How will you meet Vishal if you are a filmstar. I have a picture of him, shall I show you?" Simran said.

"Haan haan show me." Vishal said. Simran scrolled through her phone and got a picture of the real Vishal.

"Lo. Kya handsome naujavaan hai!" She showed Vishal.

"Haan. Bohot handsome hain." Vishal said. Then Simran looked at the photo.

"Are! Yeh toh aap jaisa lagta hai. (This looks like you.)" Simran said shocked.

"Wait. Let me see." Vishal said looking at the picture carefully.

"Haan. Sanjay Kapoor." Vishal said pointing at the picture. He managed to catch her.

"Are main toh gir gayee. (I'm a dead duck.)" Simran said shocked and embarrassed.

"Tum kya bol rahi hai? Tum bohot mazaki hai. Bohot mazaki hai." Vishal said tapping her shoulder.

"I'm sorry sir." Simran said.

"That's okay. I had fun. At least I know you now. You are a funny and strange person, Simran." Vishal said.

"Really? Thank you. Sir, you really do remind me of Sanjay Kapoor." Simran said.

"Really. Thanks." He said.

"I think Priya Jiji is expecting you. The party must be starting. Let's go." Simran said. Simran led Vishal to the garden area where the party was.

"Vah. You all did an amazing job decorating this place. And the arrangement of the food looks like a banquet. Well done." Vishal said.

"Haan. The food arrangement was done by Priya Jiji. It's amazing. Thanks. Come let's go to the others." Simran said.

Simran led Vishal to the others, and said,

"Guys, Mr Vishal sir is here."

Everyone turned around and smiled.

"Sir! You made it. Welcome." Priya said and shook his hand.

"Wow Priya. You're making a speedy recovery. Here, yeh hai tumhari liye." Vishal handed her a box wrapped in magenta wrapping paper. To top it off, it had a velvet red ribbon.

"Thank you sir. This is so nice. What's inside it?" She asked.

"Open it later. Not now." Vishal said.

"Hi sir. You've made it." Preeti and Neha said.

"Hey. Preeti and Neha right?" He asked.

"Haan. Correct. Glad you made it." Neha said.

"Bhabi ji, Baiya this is for you." Vishal said handing over a wrapped box to Sadhana and Vivek.

"Thank you Vishal. That's so nice of you." Sadhana and Vivek said.

"It's also nice of you to come and join us today." Prem said. "We are happy that you have come." He added shaking his hand.

"Oh Prem. I didn't even see you there. How are you doing?" Vishal asked.

"I'm great. Couldn't be any better." Prem replied.

"We see you've met our sister, Simran then?" Sameer said.

"Haan. She was over there for a long time." Sangeeta said.

"I did. It was actually very interesting meeting her." Vishal said.

"It was? Kyun? Kaise?" Rahul and Amar asked.

"She mistook me for Sanjay Kapoor." Vishal said. "She was telling me to sing the songs of Raja, instead she sang it and she was talking about Anil Kapoor." He told.

They all began laughing.

"So you're a fan of Sanjay Kapoor, and you mistook Vishal sir for Sanjay Kapoor?" Neha asked.

"Haan Neha Didi." Simran said.

"Simran. You are funny." Priya laughed.

"I honestly looked like a fool." Simran said. "I'm so sorry." She apologized.

"Well I can totally agree on that. You look like a fool all the time." Sameer said.

"Chup." Sangeeta said. "Sir, this is Lalloo and Chameli." She introduced Lalloo and Chameli.

"Namaste." They both said.

"Namaste." Vishal said.

"Aur yeh hai Anand, meri pati." Sangeeta said.

"Hello." Vishal said.

"Hello." Anand said.

"This is my daughter Radhika. And my two nephews Raju and Bablu." Sangeeta introduced.

"Hello." Vishal greeted kindly.

"Hello." Radhika, Raju and Bablu said cheerfully.

"Jiji, Jeeja ji. This is for you." Priya and Preeti said handing Sadhana and Vivek a huge hamper.

"It's from all of us." Anjali said.

Sadhana and Vivek were surprised at the gift.

"Wow. This is so nice. So cute. Thank you." Sadhana said stroking the white silky ribbon.

"It's nice to see so much love from everyone. Thank you." Vivek said.

"Aur, Priya yeh hai tumhari liye." Prem and Sameer said handing her a big hamper with gift boxes inside. The cellophane was tied with a romantic red ribbon. Priya couldn't believe her eyes. They handed the big a hamper to her.

"Wow. This is so beautiful. When did you all make this?" She asked happily.

"Whilst you were in hospital. It's from all of us. Do you like it?" Rahul asked.

"Haan. I love it. It's beautiful. Thank you." Priya said stroking it. Prem wrapped his arm around Priya.

"I've been given so much from you all. How much more am I going to get?" Priya cried happily.

"Priya, you deserve alot after what happened to you." Sangeeta said.

Prem put his hand on her shoulder and said,

"She's right. We just want you to be happy."

"It's nice that your whole family loves you Priya. Maybe that's why you are recovering so fast." Vishal said.

"Haan. I guess so. Thank you for your support though, sir. It means alot." Priya said.

"Are re. You all are here." Mamta said coming over to them. Ram, Sunita and Pritam followed.

"Sir, this is Prem's mother, Mamta. His father Ram Kishen." Priya introduced. Vishal touched their feet in respect.

"Namaste." He said.

"Namaste. Thank you for coming beta." Ram and Mamta said.

"And this is my mother Sunita and my father Pritam." Priya said. Vishal touched their feet in respect and said,

"Namaste."

"Namaste beta. Thank you for saving our Priya. It made us happy to hear that a kind hearted person like you saved her. May God give you eternal happiness." Sunita said touching his head.

"It's okay Aunty. It's the least I can do." Vishal said.

"These lot will make you feel welcome. Have fun tonight." Mamta said. Then the parents left.

"Thank you all for the gifts and support everyone." Priya said.

"That's not all, Priya." Amar said.

"That isn't?" Priya said confused.

"Prem Baiya can explain." Sameer said and winked at the others.

"Come on. Bolo." Sangeeta said teasing putting her arm on Sameer's shoulder.

"Guys seriously. Couldn't it have wait?" Prem said. He didn't want to do this in front of everyone.

"Nahi. Come on Prem yaar. Don't keep your girl waiting." Rahul said patting his shoulder.

"Um, Prem I'm going to go over to talk to your father. Is that alright with you all?" Vishal asked. He was just confused and did not want to see.

"If that's what you want to do, Vishal, go on. That's fine." Vivek said smiling and patting Vishal's shoulder.

"Thanks Baiya." Vishal said and walked over to Ram. They both had a very long conversation.

"Acha. Batao." Amar said.

"Umm, where is Simran and Rohan?" Sadhana asked.

"They are sorting out the music and stuff." Rahul said. "But now, Prem yaar, say it now before it's too late." He added.

"Acha Priya. What I'm about to tell you, it's not bad. It's actually good. So, all of us, except Baiya and Sangeeta have this thing we do. Amar, Sameer, Rahul, Rohan and I gift the girl we love something. It's just to show our thanks for entering our lives and show how much your love means to us. So I would like to gift you this."

Prem explained and he fished out a blue velvet box from his pocket and opened it. It was a beautiful gold ring with a silver diamond, glittering.

"Here. This is for you, Priya." Prem said smiling.

"Wow." Sameer said.

"Kya baat hai Sameer babu." Anand whispered. But everyone heard and some laughed.

"Prem. You did this? Why?" Priya cried happily. She couldn't believe her eyes at what she saw in front of her. Her hands covered her mouth and her eyes were wide and glassed with tears. Her heart was pounding very fast.

"Wow. Prem Baiya. You sure have good taste." Sameer said.

"That's such a beautiful ring, Prem Baiya. It would really look nice on Priya." Sadhana said.

"It really would, you know. Prem, don't get me wrong, but is that an engagement ring?" Rahul teased. Prem looked at Rahul shocked. Then Anjali smacked Rahul,

"Shut up. Stop playing jokes. Prem, it's a gorgeous ring." Anjali said.

"Haan. It looks even more gorgeous than the one Sameer gave me." Preeti pretended to be jealous tutting at her ring.

"Oi. The ring did cost alot, Preeti." Sameer said.

"All the rings you all got are beautiful." Vivek said.

"Priya, why are you quiet? Are you okay?" Neha asked.

"She's crying. Prem yaar, she's crying." Amar said pointing. Prem saw his princess cry and began thinking about this. Maybe he should not have done this. This must have overwhelmed her. Priya was crying, but it wasn't a sad cry, it was more tears of happiness.

"Priya? Kya hua? Don't you like the ring?" Anjali asked.

"Or is the pain in your shoulder and stomach back again?" Neha and Preeti asked in a more serious tone.

Priya quickly wiped her tears.

"No. I'm sorry. I'm just happy that you all just care for me. But I could not possibly take the ring, Prem." Priya said.

"Kyun?" Prem asked. "Every other girl here has it. Except Sangeeta and bhabi because they are married. Instead they have the wedding ring." He added.

Anjali, Preeti, Neha, Sangeeta and Sadhana showed their rings.

"Please Priya. Le lo na." Neha said.

"I would. But I've been given so much, the care and support you have all given me is more than enough. Prem, you've given me bangles and a necklace, what more can I ask for?" Priya explained.

"Priya, Prem's not giving the ring to you for the sake of it. He's giving it to thank you for the love you have given him. Honestly, you changed Prem's life around. By being his everything. The warmth of his heart, the ray of his sunshine, the smile on his face, the glitter in his eyes, the happiness in his voice, you've given him all the love you can. Honestly, you both were made for each other. The ring is a symbol of your love for each other." Vivek explained putting his hand on Prem's shoulder.

Priya looked at everyone. They all smiled and nodded their heads. She then looked into Prem's dreamy eyes and smiled. He smiled and looked into her bewitching eyes.

"Sach Prem?" She asked.

"Sach. Priya, you've changed me. I don't know what I would do without you." Prem said. Then he grabbed her right hand and slid the ring on her ring finger. He held her right hand and kissed it.

"Hey." The others cheered and clapped their hands.

"Thank you." Priya said sweetly. Then Prem got one arm out, a silent ask for a hug. Priya went against his body, where she leaned up to softly kiss Prem on the lips, which he leaned down and returned.

Priya cuddled against him. His arm wrapped around Priya's waist. Her face buried in his chest and hands gripped his shirt. He kissed her head.

"I'm so happy for you both." Sangeeta said.

"Well, love is not given to everyone." Amar said. "It's gifted to people like us." He added.

"I wish someone else would understand." Priya said. She was clearly talking about Rita.

"Hey. She's not here anymore. Let's not think about her. Tonight is about us two." Sadhana said putting her hand on Priya's shoulder.

"And me." Vivek said.

"And you Baiya." Sameer said laughing.

"That's true. Just have fun tonight Priya. After all, it's after quite a long time you are with us." Prem said putting both hands on her cheeks. They both smiled and looked into each other's eyes. She nodded and put her body against his. He wrapped his arms around her and they both cuddled each other. He planted numerous soft butterfly kisses on her forehead to comfort her. Prem's kisses always comforted Priya. She sighed in content.

"Yeah." The others said in agreement.

They then sat on chairs nearby to get ready for the performances. Prem and Priya cosied next to each other.

Then suddenly the lights switched off. Priya lifted her head up from Prem's chest as they both wondered why it was suddenly dark.

"Oh?" Rahul said.

"Who turned off the lights?" Preeti said.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Rohan shouted happily at the front where the lights shone on him. Simran stood near him.

"Oh Rohan." Neha said.

"That mischevious monkey." Preeti said giggling.

"Thank you to everyone who have arrived to tonight's party. This party is to celebrate Baiya's and Bhabi's news. So please give a round of a applause." Rohan said. Everyone clapped for them. Sangeeta guided Sadhana and Vivek to two special chairs. This chair was at the centre, in front of the stage. It looked like palace chairs.

"Thank you." Vivek and Sadhana said.

"Mummy, Papa, Uncle, Aunty, you all sit here." Sangeeta got more chairs to sit.

"There's more chairs for those who want to sit and watch." Sangeeta said.

"Acha. Now that we have all settled down, we shall begin the party sensation now. There will be singing and dancing. Please do not eat now until all the performances are over." Simran said. The others looked at Pritam to emphasise more.

"Now, we will have our first performance. So everyone, please welcome the amazing, the spectacular, the gorgeous, Priya Jiji!" Simran and Rohan shouted in happiness.

Everyone cheered for Priya. There was a loud crowd screaming Priya's name. But she was too nervous to go up.

No way. What is going on? I can't go up and perform. I'll look like a complete fool if I fall over and hurt myself. Oh I don't know why I'm always the one who has to go first. This can't be happening right now. Priya went crazy with thoughts.

"Priya. Go for us." Preeti said, sat next to her.

"Come on, you have it in you. You can do it. Everyone wants to see you." Anjali said.

"Priya, you will be amazing if you do it." Amar said. Priya gave a small smile at all of them trying to encourage her. But she still felt nervous. Then Prem grasped her hand and kissed it. He stroked her hair and said,

"Hey, shona. Go out there and shine. Show them that you are my one and only Priya who can perform. Remember I performed my song to you? Just remember that moment and everything will be fine. Just for my sake."

Priya smiled wider. Her eyes sparkled as it met with Prem's gorgeous eyes. He was right, she knew she could do this.

"Only for you, jaan." She told him quietly.

"Only for me, shona. I'll be here to support you." He replied and softly kissed her cheek.

So she nodded, stood up  and walked towards the stage.

"That's my girl." He said quietly and smiled as he saw Priya walking.

"Priya! Priya! Priya!" Rahul and the others began chanting. Everyone cheered and clapped as she walked. The stages lights turned off for a few seconds.

The stage lights turned on, but everything else was dark. Everyone saw Priya on the stage, with a piano and smoke around her. There was a big photo of Prem and her on the stage. She looked up at the audience and smiled. She started playing the piano and singing. Everyone clapped.

Please note:

- Priya (Karishma Kapoor) is doing Madhuri Dixit's role

She sang so beautifully and it was just breath taking. Everyone was surprised. Everyone knew who she was singing about - Prem. Her melodious voice was full of sweetness and love.

Prem smiled so much. His heart was beating so much as Priya sang for him. He loved Priya so much and his love was growing more for her as he watched her eith fondness and adoration. He knew how strong their love was for eachother. Rahul and Sameer kept nudging him on the elbow to tease him. Then Amar put his arm around Prem's shoulder and smiled.

"She's amazing right?" Amar whispered.

"She is. That's why I love her, Amar." Prem replied gazing at her.

"I know. She's a great girl. And you really do deserve her pal." Amar said.

"She's so beautiful as Madhuri Dixit." Preeti and Anjali said.

"Well she's Prem Madhuri Dixit. Hai na?" Anjali said. Prem nodded.

"Yeah she's my one and only Madhuri Dixit." He said watching her.

Vishal smiled at Priya performing. Priya was smiling everywhere.

Whilst singing, she was full of pride. Singing about the love of her life was the best thing and moment.

A few minutes later she finished singing. She smiled and everyone was screaming and shouting in happiness as soon as they stood up. Everyone cheered for her. People threw flowers at her.

Priya could not believe her eyes. She did it. She did what she always wished to do - sing about the love of her life.

Rohan and Simran walked on stage and whispered,

"Priya Jiji, that was great. You absolutely took the stage."

"Thanks guys. That felt really good." Priya said happily. Simran and Rohan helped Priya go down the stage.

"Guys, you go back to the stage. I can walk by myself. Thanks anyway." Priya said.

"You sure, sis? Rohan asked.

"Yeah yeah. You guys go." Priya said happily. "Don't keep everyone waiting." She added kindly.

Priya walked back over to the others. She smiled as she walked. Everyone smiled and looked at her as she walked past.

When she walked over to Prem and the others they smiled. Preeti and Anjali put their hands on Priya's shoulder and said,

"Priya, you were amazing. You have such an amazing and beautiful voice."

"Thanks so much guys." Priya said happily.

"Priya, you should sing more. Your voice is like music to our ears." Rahul said.

"Is it?" Priya said.

"Yeah. Where is Prem Baiya?" Sameer said.

"Main yahoon hoon." Prem said walking over to Priya. He smiled and he looked so handsome and charming when he walked over to Priya. Priya smiled and she felt her heart melting when she saw her prince. It felt good to see the guy who she sang for.

"We'll leave you both to it. Yeah?" Neha said winking.

"Haan, I think that would be good." Sangeeta said. So the others left Prem and Priya alone.

"Priya." Prem said kindly walking over to her and putting his hands on her cheeks. He looked into her eyes and she looked into his eyes. They smiled at each other.

"That was amazing. Priya, you absolutely shone up on stage." Prem said to her quietly. It was their special moment.

"Really, Prem? It wasn't as amazing as your performance." Priya said sweetly. Prem took both Priya's hands and held it close to him.

"Who says that? That's not true, Priya. Your performance was spectacular. What makes you say that?" He asked.

"I don't know. I'm just being silly. Did you like it?" Priya asked.

"I loved it, shona (sweetheart). Absolutely loved it." Prem said kindly putting one hand on her cheek.

"Really Prem?" She asked.

"Really Priya." He said.

"But you got a prize for singing your song. I didn't." Priya teased and playfully said. She crossed her arms across her chest. She also had a sweet pout across her beautiful face. Prem cooed at how adorable and cute she looked.

"Hey, you've got a prize, darling." He said unfolding her arms and putting his hands on her waist to pull her close.

"What's that, handsome?" She asked.

"Me." He said winking and smiling at her.

"I know and I'm not sharing you with anyone." She said resting her chin on his chest and looking up. He looked down at her and chuckled fondly. He wrapped his arms around her for more closeness. He softly pecked her lips and said,

"Good. Because I'm not sharing you with anyone either. You're mine and mine only, Priya. As selfish as that sounds, I only want you for myself." Priya giggled sweetly.

She smiled and said,

"Aww kiss me again, handsome." He laughed happily and said,

"Anything for my princess." He cupped her beautiful face. He leaned down as they both closed their eyes. Prem and Priya softly placed their lips on each other's, sharing a sweet kiss. Their lips moved in sync for ten seconds, devouring the taste of each other's lips, until they pulled away.

"You know that song was about you, Prem. Because you're the most important person in my life." Priya told.

"Awww Priya. That's the sweetest thing ever." Prem said.

"And it's just a way of saying thank you for all the things you've done for me. Like giving me love, help, support, the gifts. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you anything better than a song." Priya said.

"Hey, Priya don't say that. That song was the most amazing thing you've given me and I can't thank you enough. But you know what makes me more happy?" Prem said.

"What makes you more happy, handsome?" Priya asked.

"The fact that you are my soul mate and the love of my life." Prem said smiling. They both smiled and looked into each other's eyes. Priya began smiling so much and she said,

"Oh Prem. I feel the same way too."

"Yeah?" Prem said.

"Yeah." Priya said. "I love you so much Prem. I love you so much." She whispered. "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you." She kept repeating. Prem put his fingers on her mouth and said,

"Heyyy ssshh. I know Priya. I love you too. I love you too."

The whole place was loud and alot of people were around, so no one was looking at the two. Prem connected his lips to Priya's lips once again and took the usual lead in the kiss. They closed their eyes and locked lips. Priya wrapped her arms around Prem's neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer. They wanted better access to eachother's lips. Prem kissed Priya to show how selfish he was for her, but also to show how much she meant to him.

Priya felt her heart beating fast when she joined in the kiss, feeling his soft lips. She kissed him to feel loved and secure. The past few weeks were nothing but torture for Priya, but with Prem by her side and lip locking each other right now brushed all her worries, fears and insecurities away. Prem's lips had some power that took Priya to a romantic realm, allowing her to forget her struggles and hardship.

The two lovers were lost in their own romantic world. The atmosphere between them felt warm, uplifting and passionate.

A few seconds later, they stopped. They stood normally to catch their breath.

"Sorry about that." Prem said.

"Don't be." Priya said smiling, but she was blushing.

"Hai! Hai! What blushing!" Prem repeated what Rahul and Sameer often said to the two, to pull Priya's leg.

"Prem." She said and then she went closer to him for a cuddle. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her. Her head was against his warm, beating chest.

"Thank you for backing me up from before, Prem. You know, when Rita was around." Priya said.

"Hey, I'll always back you up, no matter what. But Priya, can you promise me one thing?" He said touching her hair.

"Haan. Bolo." Priya said. She looked up. Prem got his pinky finger out and said,

"Promise me that you will tell me anything that bothers you. Anything, even if it is small and petty, always tell me what is wrong. Tell me if something worries you. Promise, Shona?" Priya smiled and wrapped her pinky finger around his finger.

"I promise, jaan. I promise." Priya smiled and said. He smiled too. He then led her back to their seats. Priya sat near Prem, with her back pressed against his chest, head tucked underneath his neck and Prem's arms around her waist. He rested his cheek against the side of her head. They cuddled eachother. He kissed her temple and cheek and she sighed in content.

"Acha. Next performance everyone. Stay tuned." Rohan said loudly and the crowd quietened down.

Please note:

- Preeti (Sonali Bendre) is doing Madhuri Dixit's role, wearing the same dress and the same hairstyle

Preeti was sensational like her sister. She shone like Madhuri Dixit. Everyone applauded her.

"Now that's a die heart fan of Madhuri Dixit." Prem said, still with Priya in his arms.

"Haan. Preeti Didi loves Madhuri Dixit." Priya said.

"And I love you." Prem said quietly to her, nuzzling his face against her cheek. Priya leaned against his touch and turned to nuzzle her nose on his. She smiled at him and said,

"I love you too." She said and leaned up to eskimo kiss him.

After Preeti's performance, there were more and more performances. The hour went with a blast and sensation.

At 9:00

The cakes were cut and everyone was enjoying the food.

"This cake is good, isn't it?" Sameer said.

"Haan it is. Luckily we have a lot for all these people." Sadhana said.

"The pani puri is delicious." Pritam said.

"Are Papa, you've nearly scoffed it all." Preeti said. "Remember what I said about your health?" She added.

"Are re, it's a party. I'm not listening to you." Pritam said.

"Nahi, Uncle. Preeti is right." Neha said.

"When Uncle is hungry, that's how he talks." Sameer said and they all laughed.

"Aaah." Prem said to Priya feeding her a slice of the cake. Priya opened her mouth and Prem fed her the cake.

"You two are so cute." Anjali said.

"I know right. God bless them." Amar said.

"Alright. That's enough buttering these two lovebirds." Sadhana said.

Priya saw Vishal eating alone, so she went to check up on him. Before going over, she patted Prem who was talking to Amar.

Prem turned around and instantly smiled.

"What is it princess?" He asked.

"I'm going to check over Sir. Is that okay?" She asked.

"Yes of course. That's fine." He said. Amar smiled at the two lovers.

"Okay. I'll be right back." She said, leaning up to kiss Prem's cheek sweetly.

"Hold on I'm coming guys." Priya said.

"Where are you going?" Rahul asked.

"To see what Sir is doing." Priya said.

"Oh Vishal." Vivek said.

Priya left the others and walked over to Vishal. She sat next to him.

"You having a good time, sir?" She asked. Vishal looked at Priya and smiled.

"Yeah, of course. It's going great." Vishal said. "Your performance was brilliant Priya. I never knew you can sing." He added.

"Thank you. I didn't think I would be able to sing in front of a big audience." Priya said.

"You were very brave and confident there and that's what counts. You sang that song for Prem, didn't you?" He said.

"Haan. Because he did the same for me." Priya replied.

"You both love each other very much and I'm happy to see you both happy." He said.

"Thank you. But sir, you've helped me to believe in myself and fight for what's mine. You saved my life the other night. I can't thank you enough for that." Priya said.

"Priya, it's the least I can do. And the most important thing right now is that you are safe and okay. You just need to focus on getting better." Vishal said.

"Yes you are right." She said. Then, in the corner of Priya's eye, she saw two strange men. It didn't seem like she knew them. She didn't know whether Prem and the other knew them either. She got suspicious. They wore checked shirts and blue jeans that didn't make them look attractive.

"Kya hua Priya? Why do you look so confused?" Vishal asked.

"Those men over there look strange." She said quietly to him.

"Do you know them or something?" He asked.

"Nahi. I've never seen them before." Priya said.

"So how are they invited to the party if you don't know them? I mean, family and friends were invited." Vishal said.

"That's a good point, sir. Maybe the others may know them. But then, if I don't know them, and they don't know them, I don't want them worrying." Priya said.

"Then, maybe it's best not to mention it. Don't worry about them." Vishal said.

"You're right. Come on, let's go back to the others." Priya said standing up and Vishal stood up too.

Priya and Vishal walked over to the others. The others sat down on a big white circle dining table.

"Hey, you two have been talking for so long. Sit down with us." Rahul said. Priya sat down in between Prem and Vishal and Vishal in between Priya and Vivek. Priya smiled at Prem and Prem wrapped his arm around her.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" He whispered.

"Haan of course. This party has been so amazing, I forgot that I came out of hospital today." Priya said. Then Prem laughed and kissed her cheek.

"I'm glad, Shona. Just have fun. The night is about bhabi and you." He said and he put his arm down. She grasped his hand tight and said quietly,

"I always want to be by your side, Prem."

"You will always be, Priya, not matter what. I'll keep you safe." Prem replied.

"Priya, we were just talking about Jiji's baby shower that we are planning to have soon." Preeti said.

"So soon?" Priya asked surprised. They all began to laugh.

"No, silly. Weeks later. It would be too soon to throw such an event. You looked a bit surprised there." Sadhana said kindly.

"Priya's reaction was so cute though." Sangeeta said.

"Besides, we still need to take care of you mostly. Your condition means alot to us. It's our job to give you the best of care." Neha said.

"Neha is right. You're still weak and a bit shaken by the accident." Amar said.

"And it takes alot to actually plan these things, don't you think?" Rahul said.

"Haan, especially when some people don't help." Anjali began teasing Rohan. She winked at Preeti and Sadhana.

"Are re Anjali Didi, choro na yaar. I'm worned out after hosting each performance. It's tiring work you know." He said exhausted.

"We did a lot of work, bhabi. Honestly, it's not just the preparations, being the hosts of the show is tough work." Simran said.

"Haan, they did a good job actually with that. Thank you for that." Priya said smiling.

"Anyways, what are we going to do after the party is finished? I mean after tidying up?" Rahul said.

"Well, I'm off to bed whether you like it or not. I'm beat." Rohan said.

"Uch. Forget you no one was talking to you." Rahul said.

"No, I think we all should go to bed, because we will all be tired." Sadhana said.

"She's right. God knows when we will finish." Vivek said.

"And it's mostly important for Priya to get rest especially because she has come back from hospital today. She has had a long day." Prem said.

"Haan haan. I agree." Sangeeta, Neha, Preeti and Anjali agreed.

"Yes. Anyways, Priya you were sensational. You literally sang breathtakingly." Anand said. Priya began smiling shyly and looking down.

"Hai hai! What blushing!" Sameer and Rahul said.

"Guys, shush." Neha said.

"No, but seriously, Priya, you have such an amazing voice. How come you never told us that you can sing?" Vivek said.

"I guess it never struck me that I would sing in front of such a large audience, Jeeja Ji. I didn't realise that I would be able to sing." Priya said.

"Did Prem know that you could sing?" Amar asked.

"Nahi, I actually didn't. I was shocked myself. Priya, you must have kept it a secret that you could sing." Prem said holding her hand.

"No it wasn't a secret. I mean, I know that I can sing. But I didn't think I would ever get an opportunity to show you all, after what has been going on with me, you all have to suffer." Priya said.

"Priya, don't say that. We will always be there for you no matter what. But, thank you for showing us that you have some secret talent." Anjali said.

"Thanks Anjali. That means alot. I'm glad you all appreciated and enjoyed it." Priya said.

"Anytime little sister." Sadhana said.

"Bhabi, what are we going to do tommorow and the next few days now that Priya is back and Rita is no longer here?" Sameer asked.

"Hmmm that's actually a good idea, Sameer. Don't you all think we should spend more time together?" Sadhana said.

"I agree. Now that there is no trouble." Sangeeta said.

"What shall we do?" Neha said.

"You should try a day out somewhere nice. It will really be nice for Priya after all she's been going through." Vishal suggested. Preeti looked at Vishal.

"I think that's a good idea. There are so many nice places to go. It will really help Priya recover." Preeti said. They all agreed and negotiated.

But, Priya remained silent. She was completely lost of what they were talking about. Suddenly, she got a message on her phone. Priya heard the notification on her phone and wondered who it could be from. The others, including Prem were chatting and Priya quickly looked at her phone. It was a random number.

(+91) 5672 404 150: You think you can get away easily, do you?

Priya's heart began beating fast almost like it was going to explode from her chest. She had a feeling who it was. Rita. She didn't know whether she should reply or just ignore it. She quickly looked up at the others and saw they were still busy talking. So, she decided to reply. She quickly typed something.

Priya: Rita?! You!! Why are you texting me and why are you bothering me?

(+91) 5672 404 150: Bothering you? Bothering you? This is me fighting for what I want.

Priya: What exactly are you fighting for?

(+91) 5672 404 150: You know what exactly I'm fighting for, Priya. It's Prem who I'm fighting for. You literally got everyone to kick me and Mami ji out of the house.

Priya: I wasn't the one that told them to kick you out. They thought you deserved to get kicked out as well as your aunt. And there is no way you will get my Prem ever.

(+91) 5672 404 150: You think it's easy for you to say that I will never get Prem, but watch.

Priya: You better not do anything that will hurt my Prem. You can hurt me as much as you want, but not my Prem. You can attack me or even kill me, but not my Prem because I love him so much.

Priya was becoming even more scared whilst texting Rita. What was she talking about? What was she planning to do next? Priya's body was filled with anxiety, but she had to remain strong.

(+91) 5672 404 150: I'm telling you to watch your back okay? Now let me do what I want. Don't interfere.

Priya: Well if it's got to do with me and Prem, obvious I will get involved. Don't interfere with my love life.

Priya was slowly panicking. What was Rita going to do now? She didn't know what to do. When she looked at her phone, Rita read the message and didn't reply.

Priya stood up quickly, grabbed her phone and went away. Prem and the others looked at her.

"What happened to Priya? Why did she just get up abruptly and leave?" Sadhana said.

"I don't know. That was just so strange of her. She was quiet the whole time." Preeti said.

"Priya!" Prem called, but Priya had already left the big garden area.

"Shall I go after her?" Prem asked standing up.

"Prem, I think it's best to leave her. She probably wants time to herself, after all she has just come out of hospital. We don't want to always be at her face. It's best to give her space." Neha said.

"I know, but I'm just worried for her. She seemed upset." Prem said.

"Prem, sit down. She'll be okay. Nothing will happen to your Princess Priya." Rahul said. Prem sat down.

"Anyways, we still need to plan a day out for her." Anand said. They all began discussing, but Prem began worrying about Priya. What was it that made her so worried?

Vishal wondered the same. What made Priya leave like that? He also realised that she was really quiet before, so something must have got to her.

Prem began texting Priya asking her where she was and was she okay.

Prem🤴❤: Priya Shona, are you okay? ❤❤ Is there anything wrong?

Prem🤴❤: You promised me before that you will tell me what's wrong.

Prem🤴❤: You know you can always tell me and I'll always be there for you no matter what because I love you so much. ❤😗

Prem🤴❤: Priya, you know I love you so much right? Come back when you feel like it okay? Mwah 😘❤

He sent it to Priya, and left it there. He joined in with the others in their conversation.

Priya was walking through the moving from to the entrance terrace of the house. She sat on the front steps of the house. Her hands were on her lap and her phone sat on her lap. She didn't get another message on her phone from Rita and she didn't bother reading the conversation she had with Rita.

Priya had tears streaming down her face and she said to herself, but crying,

"Why is Rita after me? Always. Why can't she leave me alone? Why does she have to go after me always?"

Priya's heart was beating fast. She began feeling cold because the cold breeze made her shiver. The sky was royal blue and the full moon was silver and shone on her. Suddenly, she heard a car horn beeping. She looked up and saw Rita. Rita wore a black outfit that made her look scary.

Her eyes went wide and it was red. She stood up and said,

"Tum?" Rita smiled harshly and beckoned her to come closer with her finger.

Priya walked over to Rita with her gold Iphone 6 on her hand. She said,

"What are you doing back here?"

"Priya, you keep asking the same questions and you will keep getting the same answer. You know that your life will be in even more danger now that you've played this game too much." Rita said.

"Rita, I'm not playing. This isn't some sort of joke. You're literally messing with my life right now. Ever since I fell in love with Prem, you've been in the way. Why? Just why? I don't understand why you have to do this? Couldn't you have just been happy for your cousin brother, the fact that he actually found his true love?" Priya asked harshly, tears gushing out.

"Nahi. I can't be happy for Prem because you came in the way, Priya. I've always loved him no matter what, but ever since you came along, he seemed to have fallen for you. How does that make me feel? It makes me feel insecure, isolated and unwanted." Rita shouted. "So unwanted that he actually threw me out of the house." Rita shouted.

"You're unwanted because you can't be happy in every one else's happiness. You can't blame Prem for not falling in love with you. You can't control his feelings. You can't force someone to love you, Rita, that's not how it works. Love is a spiritual and special bond between two crazy hearts. You can't force love to happen." Priya explained with tears flowing down from her beautiful eyes.

"What if I can make him fall in love with me?" Rita asked.

"And how will you do that exactly?" Priya asked harshly.

"I have ways." Rita said.

"Don't you dare do anything that hurts my Prem. Honestly, I don't want you harming him." Priya said.

"I won't hurt him. Don't worry. I just have a plan that will make him fall for me easily." She replied.

"You can't make him fall in love with you. You know very well that he loves me. Prem loves me, only me. Not you." Priya shouted.

"Watch that mouth, Priya! I'm unbeatable." Rita said and she pushed Priya hardly on the road.

"Aaaaaah!" Priya screamed with her phone clutched on her hand. She fell with a thud on the road. Her forehead was bruised and started bleeding.

"Stay like that. And don't tell Prem or the others. Or I will harm Prem." Rita said. She opened her car door and went inside. Then she drove off, leaving Priya in the dark on the floor. Priya was in pain. Her stomach began paining where she was attacked and her right bruised shoulder began paining too.

"Ouch. Ow. The pains have started again." She cried and she slowly and carefully got up. She still had her phone on her hand, uncracked.

"Ouch, the pain is getting worse." She said as she walked slowly back to the front steps. Once she sat, she checked her phone and saw Prem's message.

"Oh no. Prem must be worrying so much about where I have gone. I promised I would tell him everything but Rita said if I tell, she will harm Prem. Oh I don't know. " She thought. She didn't know whether she should reply, but the pains on her stomach and right shoulder convinced her not to. After all, what would she have written back to him? She couldn't tell him about what just happened or things would have gone worse. She didn't want to worry him even more.

She touched her forehead with her fingertips and cried of pain.

"That hurts. Stupid Rita." Priya said and suddenly, she saw blood.

"No way. No way. If there's blood on my forehead, the others will see and interrogate me to the max about what happened. No way I'm going back in there." Priya said.

She sat for a while and just became lost in thoughts.

A few seconds later

"Hey Priya." Someone said. Priya became startled and turned to her left and saw Vishal.

"Hi sir. What are you doing here?" She asked smiling. Vishal sat down in the steps and said,

"Well, I should be asking you that actually. What are you doing here?"

"Well, I didn't think anyone would find me out here, honestly." She replied.

"What happened to your forehead. It's bleeding." He asked.

"Oh don't worry. I was being clumsy and I bumped into something." Priya fibbed.

"Priya, what's wrong? Is there something the matter because you seem really anxious like before." Vishal asked.

"Well, there is something bothering me. Promise not to tell anyone?" She said.

"If you don't want me to say anything to anyone then okay. But, don't you want Prem to know about what's wrong?" He replied.

"No. Don't tell Prem either. This has to stay between us." Priya said.

"Okay then. What's wrong?" He asked.

"Rita texted me before and said she will try and take Prem away from me. Here, you can read the conversation." Priya handed her phone to Vishal to the conversation she had with Rita. He read it carefully.

"Okay this is all crazy. She can't falsely accuse you of any of this since she's the one that's harming you." Vishal said.

Then Priya explained what just happened a while ago when Rita was here.

"Well done Priya for backing yourself up and standing up to what is right. If you keep showing that you're fighting for the love of your life then I'm sure Rita will stop bothering you." Vishal said. "Honestly Priya, I'm sure you will do anything to fight for Prem." He said.

"Thank you sir. I can't thank you enough. You've been such great help to me. Thank you." Priya said.

"Anytime. Now, I think you might want to go back to the party because everyone is wondering where you are." Vishal said.

"Come on then." Priya laughed and they both walked inside.

When they got inside, everyone was all standing at the centre.

"What's going on?" Priya whispered to Vishal.

"Not sure. Maybe exchanging gifts. Go find Prem and the others because they're worrying for you." Vishal whispered.

"And what about you? Are you not coming too?" Priya said.

"I'll come don't worry." Vishal laughed. Priya smiled and walked over to Prem and the others.
