All were dancing and singing in the party thrown by Singhanias to celebrate Veer and Swara's marriage when suddenly Veer angrily held a vase and threw it on the floor. The music stopped immediately and everybody looked at him. He ran upstairs leaving everyone shocked.

Veer's parents looked at each other.

Veer's dad turned towards the guests: "Sorry for the inconvenience... and thank you for coming and join us in our happiness... hope you understand us..."

The guests greeted the Singhanias and started to go.

Laksh and Sanskar went towards Veer's mother.

Laksh: "Aunty ji... What happened to Veer?"

Mrs. Singhania: "I don't know why his behavior suddenly changed... I really don't understand..."

Sanskar: "Should we talk to him?"

Mrs. Singhania: "Don't worry... I'll talk to him."

Sanskar and Laksh nodded and went away with Dp and Annapurna.

Mrs. Singhania looked upstairs towards Veer's room.

LATER

Mrs. Singhania knocked at his room's door, which was locked, shouting: "Veer! Veer! Come out dear! What happened? Why did you leave like that? Is there something wrong with you? Are you sure you want to marry Swara?"

But Veer wasn't replying. He was sitting on his bed holding a picture and staring at it with teary eyes.

Veer: "She has your same antics. And also her eyes are so similar to yours ones. I saw her and I thought that I could move on finally, my heart learnt to love again... but it seems like my destiny is the biggest enemy of my love..." – A tear skipped on his cheek.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Swara and Ragini were sitting on the bed when Ragini hugged Swara tightly.

Swara: "Ragini be careful! There is mehendi on my hands!"

Ragini (hugging her): "What to do Swara?! I'm so happy!"

Swara closed her eyes: "Ragini sleep now. Tomorrow there is sangeet and I know you will jump here and there.. so now take rest."

Ragini: "Uff Swara... brides are sooo boring!!"

Swara: "When your turn will come I will say that!"

Ragini covered herself with a blanket lying on the bed: "Ok Good night!"

Swara hit her with a pillow while Ragini was still covered with the blanket.

Swara: "Obviously now that I'm talking about you, you'll feel sleepy!"

Ragini removed the blanket from her face and winked at Swara showing her the tongue.

Swara: "Youuuu!" - she hit her with the pillow again but this time Ragini held the pillow and snatched it from Swara hitting her back. Swara and Ragini started a pillow fight laughing.

THE NEXT DAY

Swara, Ragini, Sharmishta and Shekhar came in Singhanias Mansion. While Swara was wearing a green lehenga with pink blouse, Ragini was in a red lehenga with golden blouse.

There were a lot of guests. The house was all decorated with drapes, flowers and lights.

Veer's parents went towards the Gadodias and greeted them.

Ragini: "Aunty Ji where is our groom?"

Mrs. Singhania looked around and then smiled seeing Veer coming towards them: "Here is her."

Veer came there and took blessings from Shekhar and Sharmishta.

Ragini went near him and hit his shoulder with hers: "So what's up mr. Veer Singhania? Are you so busy in the wedding functions that you forgot your friend?"

Veer smiled sarcastically: "I wish I could."

Saying this he went away while Ragini looked on confused and stared at him from back... but she returned in reality hearing someone calling her.

She turned and a smile came on her face seeing Laksh and Sanskar. She waved her hand to them and went towards them.

Durga Parsad was looking at them and shook his head looking at how Ragini was behaving.

Ragini looked at Laksh and Sanskar from top to bottom. Both were wearing sherwani.

Ragini: "Wah wah... you guys are looking good in traditional attire!"

Sanskar: "You are looking really nice too... but there is something missing..."

Ragini looked at herself confused: "What?"

Laksh: "Mehendi? It was mehendi function yesterday right? Didn't you apply it?"

Ragini shook her head: "Brides, married women and those who want to get married apply it. And I can't think about leaving my parents!"

Sanskar: "What if a groom comes to make you his bride?"

Ragini raised her hands: "I'll make him run away!"

Saying this she went towards Swara and held her shoulders from back to take her to sit near Veer.

Sanskar and Laksh looked at each other.

After a while suddenly lights turned off. Everyone looked around confused when a spotlight showed Sanskar on the top of the stairs. He started to come down while music was playing on background.

''Banno... Ki mehndi kya kehna..
Banno... Ka joda kya kehna..
Banno... Lage hai phoolon ka gehna...''
("The bride's henna is wonderful
The bride's dress is wonderful
The bride looks like a flowery ornament.")

Swara smiled while Ragini shook her head and made her sit near Veer but she looked on when the spotlight showed also Laksh coming down with Sharmishta.

''Banno.. Ki aankhen kajrari
Banno... Lage sabse pyaari..''
("The bride's eyes are black with kohl
The bride looks the loveliest")

Sharmishta ran towards Swara and cupped her face smiling.

''Banno... Pe jaaon main vaari vaari''
("I marvel at the bride's beauty")

Laksh went near Sanskar and started to sing.

''Ho ho.. o.. ho..''

He looked at Ragini who was sitting next to Swara..

''Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori..''
("The bride's friend, a silken tie...")

Ragini noticed he was indicating her and hided her face behind Swara blushing.

''Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori..''
("Secretly and silently, she blushes and looks furtively..")

Also Sanskar started to sing and dance followed by Laksh.

''Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori...
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye..
Dekhe chori chori ...''

Both exchanged their position and stood with their backs against each-other and crossed arms.

''Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya..''
("Even if she believes or not, I'm dying on her...")

Then they started to dance indicating Ragini..

''Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah!!''
("Oh God, this girl!")

Ragini stood up and went towards Sanskar and Laksh showing them a thumb and moving it to sign a ''no''.

''Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana!''
("I will never leave my father's house
You crazy and mad one, understand that.")

Sanskar and Laksh nodded looking at each other and run to stand behind Ragini.

''Dekho ji dekho yeh to mere peeche pad gaya..''
("Look, look at this one who trailed after me!")

She pushed them a little bit and run away.

''Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah!!!''
("Oh God, this guy!")

Laksh ran behind her and held her wrist pulling her closer.

''Lab kahe na kahe
Bolti hai nazar
Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se...''
("Whether the lips speak or not, your gaze says it all
Love cannot be concealed by hiding the beloved")

Ragini freed herself and run away but Sanskar and some kids came in front of her dancing.

''Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se..''

Ragini went to sit near Swara and held her chin making her look at her.

''Aa..roop ghoonghat mein ho
Toh suhana lage..''
("If a beauty is concealed in a vail, only then it looks pleasant..")

She ran behind a pillar but Sanskar came in front of her from right and Laksh from left.

''Baat nahin banti yaar bataane se..''
("It's not the right thing to do by telling the name of the beloved..")

Both held her arm and dragged her in front of all.

''Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane khuda..''
("What the heart has to say, only the heart knows or God does.")

They leave her and started to dance around her..

''Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah''

Ragini ran away blushing but bumped into Laksh. They looked in each other's eyes for a while.

Ragini pushed Laksh a little bit and is about to go when she felt like something or someone is holding her from behind. She turned and saw that some kids had tied the corner of her pallu with Sanskar's sherwani scarf. Ragini untied it and threw the corner of the scarf on Sanskar's face

''Mangne se kabhi...
Haath milta nahin..
Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki..''
("Wishing is to not avail,
Everyone's match is predestinated...")

Laksh held her arm and made her turn.

''Ho..leke baaraat ghar
Tere aaonga main..''
("I'll take the wedding procession and come to your house")

Sanskar came in front of Ragini showing Ragini her payal..

''Meri nahin yeh toh
Marzi hai rab ki..''
(This is not my will, but God's...")

Ragini snatched it from her hands and backed off fast.

''Arey ja re ja yun
Jhooti muthi baatein na bana...''
("O go, go away, don't talk such nonsense!")

She started to dance.

Also Sanskar and Laksh started to dance facing Ragini.

''Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki..
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah...''

Ragini was enjoying dancing with Laksh and Sanskar... some girls joined her while some boys were with SanLak.

All of them were dancing when Ragini felt someone holding her wrist and pulling her away from the crowd.

Ragini looked on. It was Veer.

Ragini (while Veer was dragging her outside holding her wrist): "What are you doing Veer? Leave me! I wanted to dance!"

Veer turned towards her: "Shut up Ragini! I have to talk with you urgently!"

Ragini: "We can talk inside..."

Veer took her in the garden and left her wrist.

Ragini: "What happened to you Veer?! Why did you bring me here like this?"

Veer looked at her angrily: "You really don't know?"

Ragini shook her head.

Veer held her shoulders and pinned her against the wall looking straight in her eyes. He gritted his teeth and pressurized on her shoulders: "You really don't know??!!"

Ragini hissed in pain: "Veer leave me!"

Veer: "Why don't you leave Sanskar and Laksh?"

Ragini: "Veer what's wrong with you?! Why are you behaving like this?!!!"

Veer shouted: "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"

Ragini looked at him stunned. His voice echoed in her mind.

Ragini's eyes became bigger. She wasn't able to believe on his words.

Ragini: "What the hell are you saying Veer?"

Veer left her shoulders and turned around. He had teary eyes: "Only the truth... the truth that nobody is ready to listen!"

He turned again towards Ragini and held her arms pulling her closer: "Why can't you see my love for you in my eyes? The love that sparkled from the very first time I saw you?"

Ragini was still in shock: "B... but... Sw.. Swara? Your Grandpa...?"

Veer: "Grandpa understood I was in love, but misunderstood with whom I was in love."

Ragini shook her head still not able to believe. She looked at Veer: "You are just kidding right?"

Veer: "No Ragini..."- He put his hands on Ragini's shoulders – "I really love you."

Ragini jerked away his hands from her shouting: "No! No! No! You can't do like this! You can't leave my sister now... You can't! You can't..."

She was sweating.

Veer tried to put again his hand on her shoulder but Ragini pushed him away: "DON'T TOUCH ME!! Don't touch me!!"

Veer: "Ragini listen to me..."

Ragini had tears in eyes. She was confused, she was angry, she was scared.

She looked at Veer and showed him a finger: "Listen to me carefully Mr. Veer Singhania. My sister is not a toy. If she gets hurt, I'm warning you... there won't be anyone worse than me."

Saying this she ran away.

She went inside the Singhania's Mansion and ran towards Swara trying to hide her tears.

Ragini: "Swara let's go."

Swara slowly said: "But Ragini where?"

Ragini: "Home!"

Swara looked at her confused. Ragini went towards Veer's parents and folded her hands: "Aunty ji, uncle ji... we shall go now."

Mr. Singhania: "So soon dear? Is everything all right?"

Ragini: "Yes uncle ji. It's all fine. But we have a lot of work at home na..." - just then she saw Veer coming near them. She looked at him with the corner of her eye – "It's the wedding day tomorrow after all..."

Saying this she held Swara's hand and dragged her outside. Sharmishta and Shekhar were confused by her behavior but they greeted Singhanias and followed Swara and Ragini.

LATER

MAHESHWARIS MANSION

Durga Parsad took Sanskar and Laksh in the house holding their elbows tightly and threw them inside angrily.

Annapurna: "What are you doing?"

Durga Parsad: "Ask this question to your dear sons. What was the need to jump here and there like that in the snageet? Didn't you see how everybody was looking at you? Rememebr we are high class people... not like that Ragini!"

Sanskar: "Bade Papa... it was sangeet function. What else should we have done if not dancing?"

Durga Parsad: "You aren't a kid Sanskar. You must know what you had to do."

Sanskar was about to say something but Laksh stopped him holding his arm: "Leave it Bhai. People like him stay like this forever, they won't change."

Dp looked at him angrily while SanLak went upstairs.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

GADODIAS HOUSE

Swara came in the living room and saw Ragini sitting on the sofa. The TV was switched on but Ragini wasn't looking at it. She was looking down and was in her own thoughts. She was playing with the remote without even realizing that.

Swara went towards Ragini and shook her holding her shoulder: "Eh Ragini!"

Ragini returned in reality: "Yes Swara?"

Swara: "What are you thinking about?"

Ragini: "Swara... nothing..."

Swara: "Ragini..." - she sat near her – "Since when have you started lying to me?"

Ragini looked at her. Swara was shocked to see tears in her eyes: "Ragini you are crying?!" - She immediately wiped them.

Ragini hugged her: "You are going to leave me tomorrow!"

Swara was about to say something when Ragini's phone rang. It was Sanskar's call.

Ragini: "Just a minute Swara..."

She went in her room to attend the call: "Yes Sanskar? So what did you think?"

Sanskar: "I am with you... but are you sure... you really want to go ahead with the plan?"

Ragini: "Yes... i need to. It's matter of my sister's life and happiness."

Sanskar: "Ok! Then see you tomorrow!"

Ragini: "Ok Good night! And thank you so much!"

Sanskar: "No thanks between us. Good night!"

Ragini cut the call and looked up sighing.

NEXT DAY

Laksh was in his room and was combing his hair looking in the mirror when Durga Parsad and Annapurna came inside.

Laksh: "Hey Maa! Good morning papa! You both here?"

Dp: "Why? Can't we come?"

Laksh ignored him: "Maa did you see Sanskar?"

Annapurna: "Sanskar went to Gadodias place in early morning. He said he was going to help them with the preparations."

Laksh: "Ok, I shall go too then."

Annapurna: "Wait Laksh. We need to talk to you."

Laksh looked on.

Durga Parsad: "About Karishma and yours marriage."

Laksh was shocked: "What are you saying? Marriage? Karishma?"

Annapurna: "Yes dear... we thought Karishma is a nice girl, and also her family... plus she is also your girlfriend so..."

Laksh: "We have broken up coz I realized don't love her!"

Durga Parsad: "So what? Love can happen also after marriage."

Laksh: "Papa you can take any decision of my life. But not this. I will not marry Karishma and that's it!"

Saying this he angrily went out of the room.

AFTER A WHILE

The door-bell of Gadodias flat rang.

Sharmishta went to open the door: "Veer you here?"

Veer: "Aunty ji Ragini called me..."

Sharmishta: "She is in her room... come, come inside."

Veer came inside. Sharmishta was about to close the door when she saw Laksh coming. She smiled: "Thank God you are her Laksh! The wedding is in the evening and there is so much work left! Sanskar is helping Ragini. We need to take all the stuff in the marriage hall. They are packing that only. She told me you were coming... you guys go! I'll come!"

Laksh nodded and came inside. He was surprised to see Veer: "You here?"

Veer: "Ragini called me..."

Laksh nodded and they went towards Ragini's room.

They were about to open the door when they heard Sanskar's voice: "I want only to say to you.... I love you! I love you so much... Ragini..."

Laksh and Veer got shocked. They looked at each-other. Veer opened a little bit the door for let them see what was happening. They saw Sanskar kneeling in front of Ragini holding her hand and Ragini standing in front of him.

Sanskar: "I love you a lot Ragini, more than myself!"

Laksh and Veer looked on. They were waiting for Ragini's answer.

Ragini: "Sanskar... I...I..."

Sanskar: "Say it Ragini..."

Ragini: "I love you too Sanskar!"

Laksh and Veer were stunned hearing this.

Sanskar smiled and stood up. He hugged Ragini tightly and Ragini hugged him back.

Veer angrily closed the door. He wasn't able to see it more. He went away.

Laksh looked at the door. He wasn't able to move. A tear skipped on his cheek.

He shook his head: "No... this can't be true... this can't be true..."

He closed his eyes tightly.

He ran away while tears flew down from his eyes.

INSIDE THE ROOM

Sanskar and Ragini broke the hug.

Ragini: "I didn't know you were such a good actor!"

Sanskar: "Sanskar Maheshwari is full of talents."

Ragini smiled: "Yeah right! I just hope our plan worked."

FLASHBACK

Sanskar was on phone with Ragini: "Ok so tell me Ragini... what happened? Why did you leave sangeet function like that?"

Ragini: "Sanskar..." - she explained him what happened with Veer.

Sanskar: "What?! I knew he was a..." – He gritted his teeth – "What to do now? Do you have any plan?"

Ragini: "Yes... but I need your help Sanskar..."

Sanskar: "Yeah tell me..."

Ragini: "We need to pretend to love each other... so Veer can forget me and move on."

Sanskar: "But Ragini..."

Ragini: "Please Sanskar... think about it."

FLASHBACK ENDS

Sanskar: "I hope everything will go in the right way and Veer comes in the wedding"

Ragini: "I swear Sanskar... if my sister gets hurt i will not leave Veer!"

Sanskar put a hand on her shoulder: "Don't worry Ragini. I will bring him in the marriage hall!"

Ragini: "Thank you so much Sanskar! This wouldn't have been possible without you!"

Sanskar: "Please stop saying this thank you!"

Ragini laughed: "Ok ok."

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Laksh was in his car and was driving really fast recalling Ragini saying i love you to Sanskar. Tears were running down from his eyes. He applied sudden brakes and looked on... recalling his moments with Ragini.

He came out from the car slamming the car's door hardly and looked at the sky. He recalled Ragini hugging Sanskar. Laksh fell on the ground and looked at the sky shouting with all his voice: "WHYYYYY?!!"

He looked down crying.

LATER

IN VEER'S ROOM

Veer was talking here and there restless angrily thinking about Ragini and Sanskar.

Suddenly he stopped and looked on: "I have to stop it..."

He took his phone and sent a message to Ragini: "Meet me in Ganesh ji's mandir... Now!"

After sending it he ran out of his room.

On the other hand Ragini, who was getting ready for the wedding, received the msg.

Ragini: "What does he want now... I shall check once..."

She went out of the room.

AFTER A WHILE

Sanskar came in Singhanias Mansion.

Veer's mother saw him: "Sanskar you here? Come!"

Sanskar: "Aunty ji... I was here for Veer. I thought we could go to the marriage hall together... after all I'm from groom's side!"

Mrs. Singhania: "Yeah of course! You thought really well! He is getting ready in his room. Go!"

Sanskar went upstairs towards Veer's room. He opened the door but no one was there. He looked around and saw the door-window opened.

Sanskar: "Maybe he is on the balcony..."

He went towards the balcony.

Sanskar: "Veer!"

Veer wasn't there... but a girl was standing with the back towards Sanskar.

Sanskar: "Excuse me..."

The girl turned facing Sanskar (she is played by Farnaz Shetty).

Sanskar: "Who are you? And what are you doing in Veer's room?"

The girl turned: "I... I'm Ritika Agarwal. I'm Veer's childhood friend. Do you know where Veer is?"

Sanskar: "He should have been here only. Did you need something?"

Just then he saw tears in her eyes: "Why are you crying?"

Ritika: "nothing..." – She said trying to stop her sobs.

She was about to go.

Sanskar: "Wait..."

Ritika turned.

Sanskar: "See... you can share your problem with me. I may help you..."

Ritika fell on the ground and cried loudly. Sanskar was confused.

Ritika: "I and Veer used to love each other..." – Sanskar looked on – "But our parents... a misunderstanding made them business rivals. They separated us when they got to know we were in love... but now, all misunderstandings got cleared. But... now Veer is also getting married..." – She cried more.

Sanskar was shocked.

Ritika: "She is Ragini right?"

Sanskar looked at her confused: "Ragini?"

Ritika: "Yes, the one he is getting married to..."

Sanskar: "What are you saying? Her name is Swara..."

Ritika looked at him: "So why did he call Ragini in the temple?"

Sanskar: "Temple?"

Ritika showed him Veer's phone with the messages.

Sanskar read them and is shocked... but then he got an idea.

Sanskar: "One minute... we can solve everything!"

He took his phone and called Swara.

Swara was sitting on the bed and was looking at her and Sanskar's selfie in it.

Just then she received Sanskar's call... she furrowed her eyebrows confused to receive his call at that time: "Yes Sanskar? What happened?" – She asked picking up the call.

Sanskar: "Swara are you ready for the marriage?"

A tear skip on Swara's cheek hearing this... no she wasn't... she stopped a sob: "I'm getting ready... why?"

Sanskar: "I mean are you happy with the marriage?"

Swara got confused: "Why are you asking so?"

Sanskar explained her everything, from Ragini and Veer to Ritika and Veer.

A smile came on Swara's face: "This is great! I don't love Veer! Tell Ritika not to worry, Veer will marry her only!"

Sanskar: "I knew it! I felt like you weren't happy with this marriage! Well, come to the temple with your parents, I'll come with Veer's parents!"

Swara nodded: "Ok!!"

She cut the call and wiped her tears. It was like life returned in her. She stood up and went out of the room smiling.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Ragini reached the temple and was shocked to see a pandit sitting near the holy fire and Veer coming towards her wearing a groom's sherwani.

Ragini: "What is all this VeeR?"

Veer held her hand: "Our wedding is taking place..."

Ragini looked at him stunned: "What rubbish?!"

Veer held her arm tightly pulling her closer: "you are mine Ragini! And I can't let you go with someone else... our wedding will happen and that too right now!"

Ragini pushed him away and tried to run away but Veer held her arm again and dragged her towards the pandit making her sit forcefully near him. Ragini was hissing in pain as Veer was holding her tightly and was trying to remove his hand from her arm: "Veer leave me! What happened to you Veer? This is not you! Veer!!"

Veer ignored her: "Pandit ji, start the rituals!"

The marriage rituals started.

MEANWHILE

Laksh was in his car and was drinking while driving thinking about whenever he saw Ragini near Sanskar... the time when she kissed him on the cheek.

He got angry and applied sudden brakes.

Laksh: "I can't bear this now... when i am completely in love with you..."

He was about to start the car again when he saw a temple in front of him... he looked at it angrily: "Wow God wow! Radha Krrishna, Sita Ram... what about us humans? You gave us heart and started breaking it? Do you really exist? Do you even listen to us? Or are you just a stone?" - He smiled sarcastically – "Your heart is a stone for sure..."

He went out of the car and started to walk towards the temple.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Veer forcefully made Ragini stand for the vows while she was shouting and crying and trying to release her hand from Veer's catch.

AT THE SAME TIME

Sanskar came to pick Swara, Shekhar and Sharmishta with his car.

While sitting in the car Sharmishta asked: "Where are we going Swara? Wedding will take place in few hours! There is a lot of work to do!"

Swara sat next to Sanskar: "This is more important Maa!"- she looked around – "Sanskar... Ritika?"

Sanskar started the car driving fast: "she is coming with her and Veer's parents..."

Screen freezed in 3:

On the left a drunken Laksh was stepping towards the mandir, on the right a serious Sanskar was driving the car fast and at the center Veer was dragging Ragini around the holy fire to take the vows.

CHAPTER ENDS

Will Sanskar or Laksh reach on time? Or...

Precap: Laksh disappeared?!!
