(Meanwhile, Manik was struggling with his thoughts, Alisha came back with a black file in her hand & give it to Manik, which help him to get it of his thoughts.)

Manik," What is it?"

Alisha," Open it!!"

(Manik was shocked when he see the file & look at Alisha)

Manik," Property papers??"

Alisha," Yeah, actually i want you to sign these for me??"

Manik," But Alisha why do you want me to sign these now??

Alisha," Manik i told you that you will not judge me on this but you are judging me, and whats wrong in this when you everything is of both of us then why don't you sign them!!"

Manik," But Alisha, I'm not alone heir of this property, Mukti is also a part of this family and she has right on it too!! So i can't take that decision alone!! And I'm not judging you I'm just asking you why you need me to sign them?"

Alisha," Why not, Manik? Property tumhare name pe hai so you can take that decision alone, its your hard earned money? I'll not ran away after taking this!! And mukti apne ghar chali hi jaegi after marriage so its obviously yours!"

Manik (closing the file)," Alisha vo bat nahi hai, but you don't understand what i am trying to say!!"

Alisha (snatches file opens it & again places it in hand of Manik) ," Manik, tum sign karoge ya nahi??"

Manik," But.... Alisha....!!"

Alisha (interrupts Manik by showing him his hand)," Listen Manik lets cut it in short!! Tum karoge ya nahi? Vese bhi it was in lieu of your promise!!"

Manik," Alisha mere matlab yeh nahi tha ki I'll give you my property yaar, it was just a prank, tum kuch aur mang lo!!"

Alisha," Manik, maine jo kehna tha vo keh diya now its upto you!! And if you didn't signed them toh I'll believe that u can never fulfil your promise and i will leave from here right now there's no point of trust between hs so why shall i stay here!!"

(Alisha was going out of the room but suddenly Manik stopped her)

Manik," Wait Alisha, ye lo i have signed these papers take it... And Manik hamesha apna promise poora karta hai!!"

(Alisha came out of his room but cane back again and was in shock that Manik actually signed the property papers.)

Alisha," Manik, are you judging me on these?"

Manik," Relax I'm not judging you at all... Now u go and get ready for the function & prepare for it main bhi ready hokr ata hoon!!"

Alisha," Okay!!"

(Manik smiles and Alisha hugs, smiles and moves out of the room)

(In hall)

(Nandini, Mukti & Navya were dancing in pairs to rehearse for the evening function & suddenly they saw Alisha rushing towards her room.)

Mukti," Isko hua kya hai, apne ghar se kya koi special battery laga kar ayi hai kya jab se ayi hai idhar udhar chal rahi hai.."

(Nandini & Navya laughs)

Nandini," Pata nahi, kya hua hai isko, chodo hum apni rehearsal pe focus karte hain time kam hai..."

(Everyone after few more rehearsal, sit on couch to catch breath)

Navya," Yeh Cabir kahan hai.... 1 baj gaya abhi tak utha nahi!!"

(Suddenly Cabir arrives & hold Navya from her hand and begin dancing)

Cabir (drinking water & singing)," Tumne bulaya aur hum chale aye"

Navya," Agaye tum.... badi jaldi aye...!!"

Cabir," Arey! Cabir kabhi late ho yeh ho hi nahi sakta!!...."
(Cabir notices everyone laughing at him)!!

Navya," Cabir, humara matlab tha ke tum bohot late aye the!!"

Cabir," Hum badshaah hai begum, jara ahistey ate hain!!"

(Everyone laughs, Manik, Alisha ,Dhruv & Aryaman also came to join them... Everyone was practicing & after practicing for 2 hours continuously they sat on the couch to take rest. Suddenly door bell rang.... Nandini went & opened the door. It was a courier, she collected it & came inside.)

Mukti," Nandini what is it??"

Nandini," Parcel hai Mukti!!"

Mukti," Nandini vo mujhe bhi pata hai, kiska hai & isme kya hai??"

Nandini," I don't know let me check!!"

(Nandini turns the envelope to checked the name from Malhotra Hospital & realizes that its from hospital & she thought that it might be Alisha's reports.)

Mukti," So what is in it!!"

( Nandini was hesitant but still moved forward while trying to open the envelope, She was trying to open it suddenly Manik came n took it from Nandini )

Manik (looking towards Nandini) ," We don't have whole day for your slow motion drama.... Ms. Nandini"

Nandini (making a frown on face and looking in angry way towards him)," So mr. over fast Manik Malhotra go ahead and open it!Huhh, monster manik!!"

Manik (in anger turns towards nandini and clutched the report and Nandini was moving backward in fear & manik shows her his index finger and Nandini first looked towards finger & then towards Manik) ," Listen you Nandini, just shutup don't you dare mess up with me!!"

Nandini (hold his finger tightly to keep it down),"Mr. Malhotra, I'm not afraid of you, apna anger keep it to yourself!!"

(Manik was about to move forward to fight with her but Mukti came in between and stops him.)
Mukti," Bhai! Bhai!! Plz stop na yaar aj humara performance hai, let's not spoil our mood, open it na please and lets get back to our rehearsal!!"

Manik," Mukti tu mujhko samjha rahi hai, like seriously! Don't u see what she is doing, irritating me!!"

Nandini (in taunting way) ," Haan toh jo galat hai usko hi samjhaegi na and you are wrong Mr."

(Manik again started bubbling with anger & begin moving towards Nandini)

Mukti," Bhai stop! Nandini what's wrong with you? I'm trying to stop the fight and you are increasing it, please Comeon!!"

Nandini," Okay, Mukti fine, I'll not say anything to him!!"

Manik (murmuring)," Jab galat khud hai toh kisi aur ko kya bolegi!!"

Nandini," What?? Mukti, see now who is starting again!!"

Mukti," Bhai please now open this!!"

(Manik opens it and his eyes widened to see the report and looks towards Alisha in shock. Alisha got frightened. Manik didn't say anything and in anger moves into his room. Suddenly noise of breaking things came & everyone was shocked to hear that and runs towards Manik's room. Everything was broken, fallen & scattered here and there and Manik was standing in anger. Alisha came towards Manik and tries to calm him down.)

Alisha (moves her hand on his face) ," Manik, what happened??"

Manik (looked towards Alisha and his eyes was red bursting with anger & holds her hand) ," Why didn't you told it to me? Why you hide it and that too from me???"

Alisha (in consoling way) ," Manik, you are getting me wrong! I wasn't hiding it, i just want to be sure and waiting for the reports, and i wanted to surprise you!! But it seems you are not happy, you look shocked instead!! Are you not happy??"

Manik," Yes I'm shocked! god dammit! Why shouldn't I!! Tumne mujhe kyun nahi bataya, Infact tum mujhe aj afternoon mein bata deti jab you came to....." (Manik stopped for a while in between and looked towards Mukti and then towards everyone & again started speaking and Alisha was looking towards him with wide eyes in shock) ," when you came to meet me in afternoon!!"

Alisha," Manik, I wasn't sure!!"

Manik (calms himself down)," Ok fine its just that why didn't you told me that you are going for a pregnancy checkup"

(Alisha looked shockingly at Manik & then at everyone else and then look downwards in guilt)

Manik ( picks her face up with his finger on her chin) ," Alisha, you don't have to feel ashamed, its fine, they all are our family, relax, now you tell me what do you want?"

Alisha (holding her hand and pressing her fingers tightly)," Let's get married??"

( Everyone was in shock, but didn't utter a word. Mukti and Nandini were looking towards each other)

Manik," As you say dear, we will get married in few days only.... you tell me when and how you want the programmes to be scheduled??"

Alisha," Lets get engaged day after tomorrow, actually i want to call my brother also na so it will take little time... that's why!!"
