Preetha: mein huna biwi........kuch der pehle tho shaadi ki hein aap sab ki saamne?

Sherlyn(attitude): kya ladki ho thum preetha? thum hamse puch rahe ho aur hame darane ki koshish kar rahe ho........aise kuch nai hoga.thum chup chap yaha se jaao warna police ko phone karne der nai lagegi.

Preetha(smirking): jaise thum mujhe saza dilwadi hein.........video.

A videographer comes and plays the video of thier marriage and their talks while sherlyn,kareena are shocked rishab,sameer,krithika are happy.

Somebody turns her and preetha gets a slap.She looks who it is.....it's mahira. Karan fists his hand seeing it while preetha stares at her.

Mahira(loudly): Kya kiya thumne.....ha kya?kyun kiya?(shaking her)itna himmat hein ki meri.....meri karan se shaadi karogi? Itni immath ki meri jagah logi? chala gayi na thum .....kyun aayi ho fir.......arey karan ne khud kaha ki woh thumhe pasand nai kartha....pasand ko door ki baath hein arey  thumhe dekhna hi nai chahtha(preetha looks at karan very hurt) fir bhi.....fir bhi.....thum hamara peecha kyun nai chodthi?mujhse shaadi kar rahi thina wo........beech mein  kyun aaya? thumhari maa......thumhari ma ne badi badi baath kaha na kya hua uska......kya wo thumhe yahi seekha hein? kareena bua sahi kehthi hein thum jaise logon ko sharam naam ki cheez hi nai hothi.....

And she feels a slap.........not one but two.Preetha slaps her tightly once and within a second she blasts the second one also leaving everyone shocked and mahira scared.

Preetha(dangerously): kuch aur kaha na meri ma ke baare mein I swear I will kill you at this moment(mahira looks scared) thum kya meri maa ki baath kar rahi ho jiski ma sirf makeup karna,hair style karna seekha hein.Meri ma ne bahot achi values di hein jinme se ek hein buri logon ko bhi help karna chahiye isiliye jab thum academy aayi ho mein thumhari help ki aur jab truck thumhe takraya tha mein thumhe hospital lekar gayi jab mujhe path ki thum mere pati ki fiance ho.fir bhi mein thumhara saath  kuch galath nai kiya.........yeh hai meri ma ki values.Don't dare to talk about my mother........

Preetha: and yeah thum kuch bhi karo ab mein aur karan ki shaadi hogaya hein so I don't care what you say or what you do.........(going close to her)mere hothe hue karan ke saath thumhara shaadi sapno mein bhi sach nai hoga because wo mera ho chuka hein.So stop dreaming about him......Understand?

Karan feels an unknown relief in his heart and he keeps on looking at her while every one had no guts to speak to her.Mahira looks at Kareena tearfully.

Kareena: How dare you preetha arora?  thumhari immat kaise hui isee maarne ki haa.........thum kuch bhi karo yeh shaadi ab jaroor hoga.mahira karan baito Mandap pe......mein bhi dekhunga kaun roktha hein.

She holds Mahira and karan and takes them while karan could not walk as his cloth is tied to preetha's.He looks at  ghatbandhan and her.They stare emotionally.......while Kareena sees it.She holds it to untie when she sees a hand on her's .......she looked up to see rakhi stopping her.

Kareena(surprised): bhahi....?

Rakhi: nai didi aise math karo..

Kareena(angrily): aap kya keh rahe ho bhabhi? aapne dekha na kya kiya iss ladki ne........parde ke peeche chupakar dhoke se shaadi ki hein karan se,mahira ko maara aur hame dhamki de rahi hein. 

Rakhi: karan ne bhi wahi kiya kareena di......karan ne bhi uske saath dhoke se hi shaadi ki hein. preetha aur uski parivaar socha bhi nai hoga.Prithvi ko maara hein yeh kya yeh sab sahi hein? 

Kareena(confused): bhabhi aap iss ladki ko kyun support kar rahe ho......aur kehna kya chahthe ho?

Rakhi: mein kehna chahthi hu ki shaadi hogayi hein.........karan aur preetha ki shaadi hogayi hein wo bhi doosri baar.ham isse accept karna hoga.........

Kareena(shocked): aap......kya keh rahe ho? Itna sab hone ke baad bhi aap iss ladki ko kyun maanthe ho.........yeh dhokebaaz hein

Rakhi: agar wo dhokebaaz hein tho karan bhi dhokebaaz hein......pehle karan ko saza dena hein.

Kareena: fir mahira....mahira ka kya hoga?

Rakhi: ham sou sochthe hein lekin bhagwan kya sochthe wahi hoga........hamne mahira aur karan ki shaadi socha hein lekin preetha aur karan ki hogayi.matlab bhagwan nai chahthe ki mahira aur karan ki shaadi ho.........

Kareena: Bhagwan nai aap nai chahthe ki iss shaadi ho......jab se yeh ladki iss ghar mein aayi hein tab se sirf problems hi problems hein aur aap ..........aap itna sab hone ke baad bhi iss ladki ko hi maanthe ho

Rakhi: problems yeh nai laaya hein .....hamare wajah se isko iski parivaar ko bahut kuch problems sehna pada.........lekin yeh hamari haath nai choda.jab bhi hame uski jaroorat padi wo aayi hein.Hamare saath khadi hein hamareliye ladi hein ..........karan ke baare mein aapko pata heina.na jaane kitne baar karan ko sambhala hein yeh (they look at each other with teary eyes)........aur ab karan ka career theek hein tho matlab preetha ki wajah se hi hein.......isiliye mein usse maanthi hu.

Kareena(angrily):  aap uspe bahot bharosa karthi hein lekin mein nai. mein saaf saaf bol rahi hu.......yeh ladki mujhe iss ghar mein nai chahiye.I don't want her in this house......aur aap(to rakhi) aap meri baath nai daalthe tho behther hoga.

Karan and rishab gets angry.

Rishab: Bua please aap ma se aise baath math kariyegaa.......

Kareena: mein kya karu rishab......bhabhi meri baath nai manthi.ham sab se zyada iss pe bharosa karthi.....kaun hin yeh ladki? kaun? mein iss ghar ki beti hu meri baath nai manthi aapka ma.....(to dadi) aap ko pata heina maa!!!meine kitna kuch kiya hein ham sab keliye.jab bhai ka thabiyat theek nai tha tab meine pura office ko sambhala sab ko chodke.....lekin bhabhi ko iski kadar hi nai hein.bhabhi ko sab achi lagthi hein usko pata nai hotha ki kaun achi hein aur(seeing preetha) kaun lalchi hein.(karan fists his hand)lekin mujhe pata hein isiliye yeh ladki ko hamare parivaar mein koi jagah nai milegi.

Sherlyn: haa kareena bua theek keh rahi hein.....preetha achi nai hein......

Rakhi(shouts): Chup kar sherlyn.....aur kuch bola tho bahot bura hoga.

Everyone gets silent for a minute.

Rakhi: Mummy ji I am sorry agar mujhse koi galthi hogi tho.........

Dadi: rakhi thum.....

Rakhi(interrupting her): aap sab meri baath dhyan se sunlijiye...........kareena di aapne hamareliye hamari parivaar keliye bahot kuch kiya hein.office sambhala hein ghar sambhala hein aur meine kabhi aapko kuch nai kaha.lekin iss bar baath office ki nai meri bete ki zindagi ki hein aur mein uski ma hu. mujhe pura hak bantha hein uski zindagi ki faisle lene ka......aur mein sirf uski ma hi nahi luthra kandhan ki bahu hone ke nathir mein yeh faisle liya ki karan aur preetha ki shaadi ko mein maanthi hu.Preetha iss ghar ki bahu hein aur wo iss ghar mein rahegi ham sab ke saath.(dadi tries to interrupt)agar mahesh ji theek tarike se hothe tho woh yahi karthe........aur iss baath pe koi bhi meri baath nai dalega.(seeing karan seriously)

Pin drop silence in the luthra house.Everyone saw a courageous rakhi who stands by her decisions.  

Rakhi: Krithika leke jaao apni babhi ko......

Krithika obeys her words and takes preetha to her room.

Rakhi: Sameer mummy ji ko room mein leke jaao.....Karan,rishab meri room mein chalo.......

They go to her room.

Sherlyn,Kareena,mahira and ramona stand thier seeing each other faces thinking what has happened.

IN ROOM

Preetha was sitting on coach and thinking about everything.

Preetha(crying): Thank you so much rakhi aunty........agar aap nai hothe tho mujhe itna immath nai aatha.Thank you so much.....

IN RAKHI'S ROOM

Rakhi was seeing mahesh when karan and rishab enter inside.

Rishab: maa......

Rakhi shows her hand to rishab to stop and goes to karan.

Rakhi: karan 

He looks at her emotionally.he hugs her,at this point of time he needs it.

Rakhi: Karan dekha heina.......ham jo karthe hein wahi hame milthe hein.thum preetha ke saath bahot kuch galath kiya hein lekin wo ladki bahot achi hein wo thumhare saath aise kuch bhi nai karegi.(comes out of hug and cups his face)mein yeh faisle sirf uski izzat keliye hi nai thumhareliye bhi liya hein.(he looks at her) sudhar jao karan aur bhul jao sab.mein thumhe aise nai deksakth karan(she hugs him)aur mein preetha ke saath bhi nai dek saktha(he tries to speak) ab thum jaao aur use sambhalo ek pati ki tarah (he just listens to her).......jaao ab.(he goes)

Rakhi and rishab leaves a great sigh seeing him.They see each other and hug.

Rishab: Thank you so much mom...........aapne bahot bada kaam kiya hein.I am proud of you....

Rakhi cries hugging him. 

Rishab: That's ok maa.....please control.

He consoles her and comes out of the hug.He wipes her tears.

Rishab: kuch nai hoga ma aap bahot acha kaam ki hein......mujhe laga aap sambhal nai paogi lekin sab kuch sambhala hein .bahot ache se lade the bilkul sherni ki tarah.........

Rakhi: agar baath bache pe aaye tho har maa sherni banthi hein rishab........haa mahesh ji tho theek hein nai lekin meri dono bete heina mujhe darne ki wajah hi nahi hein.

Rishab(smiles and hugs her): I am proud of you mom.....i am proud of you. 

They hug. 

Rishab while hugging and preetha in her room remembers the scene at the airport. 

AT AIRPORT

Preetha is hurriedly coming outside the airport when she sees rishab. He goes to her.

Preetha: rishab ji ......aap?

Rishab(leaving a sigh): yaad hein preethaji jab aap jail se bahar aane ke baad mujhse ek wada liya tha ki jo kuch bhi hoga mujhe karan ko support nai karna hein.meine meri waada nibhaya tha.kya ab aap mujhse ek wada karogi? 

Preetha: k......kya?

Rishab(closing his eyes): aap karan se shaadi karlo. 

Preetha: k....kya keh rahe ho?

Rishab: ha preetha ji mera bhai kush nai hein aur kush nai hoga kabhi agar yeh shaadi hua tho.karan se meine waada liya tha Mahira se shaadi karne keliye lekin wo us din se has tho kar rai par kush nai hein.uski wajah aapko pata hein........i know karan aur aapke beech bahot kuch problems hei lekin mujhe yakeen hai ki aap sab theek karoge aur hamare karan ko hame wapas bhi dogi.bas kuch time chahiye aapko aur wo time aap karan se shaadi karne se milega (her tears make her way out,he holds her hands, emotionally)mujhe pata hein ki meri parivaar ne aapko bahot takleef pahunchayi lekin meine aapko har problem mein support karne ki pura koshish ki hein so please us ehsaan ki badle aap mujhe ye wada kardijiye.......I request you preethaji.

Preetha thinks a bit.

Preetha(wiping her tears): aapki bhai keliye nai aapkeliye mein wada karthi hu ki mein karan se shaadi karunga......aur sab theek karne ki puri koshish karungi.

Rishab nods happily.

Rishab(smiles tearfully): thank you so much.....preethaji.mujhe yakeen hein hi aap jaroor manogi.

Preetha: lekin ab kaise hoga?

Rishab:  kya karna hein mein bathaungi.

He takes preetha with him to Luthra house and shows her to rakhi.Rakhi though uncertain about her,rishab conviences her. With the help of parlor girls,they make Mahira unconscious and preetha takes her place.

Rishab(mind): bahot mushkil hein yeh decision lena lekin meri bhai se badkar kuch bhi nai hein........mujhe pata hein aap sab theek karogi.I hope everything goes good from tomorrow.

Preetha(tears): meine aapki diye hue wada nibhathi hu aur mannu ko diye hue wada bhi.........Thank you so much mannu meri feelings ko value karne keliye.I will not break my promise to you.....(wiping tears)kal se bhara hue andhere ko mitana hein meri zindagi se.
