Meanwhile...in another part of Mumbai,

A mansion is shown which was decorated with flowers. The servants were going here and there setting everything up after all today was a special day. Today was the engagement of their babyji who was none other than Nandini. As she was the only woman in the house and the youngest, all the servants called babyji and since most of the servants were working there from before her birth, she was adored by all.

In her bedroom, Nandini stood infront of her mirror dressed in a golden lehenga. on her bed sat, her best friend, Navya Naveli.

"How do I look?" Nandini asked.

"Absolutely stunning! Aryaman's gonna faint." Navya winked.

"Shutup..." Nandini chuckled.

"Nandu...tu pyar karti hai kya Arya se?" Navya asked.

"Bachpan ka dost hai woh mera."

"That doesnt answer my question."

"....Shayad kyunki....iska koi jawab nai hai mere paas. Arya aur mera rishta bohot pehle fix ho gaya tha by our Dads. Papa ke business ke liye yeh shaadi zaroori hai and its not like I have anyone else in my life." Nandini replied.

"Haan par....bina pyar ki shaadi karna?" 

"Arranged marriages toh aise hi hoti hai na? And usually in most arranged marriages, ladka aur ladki ek dusre ko jaante bhi nahi hai...at least Arya dost hai mera. Pyar ka kya hai....woh toh shaadi ke baad bhi hota hai. Main iss shaadi se khush hoon Navya....dont worry."

"Chal thik hai...agar tu khush hai toh thats all I want." Navya smiled.

"Gudiya.." At that moment, Nandini's elder brother, Agastya walked in and stopped when he saw her. "Arre wah....tu toh bohot khubsoorat lag rahi hai."

"Thank you bhai." Nandini hugged him.

"Chal...sagai ka waqt ho raha hai. Aryaman apne family ke saath aaya hai."

"Haan bhai...chalo." Nandini nodded. The three of them then left the room and started walking down the stairs when Nandini's other brother, Shaurya stumbled towards them.

"T..hheerre..you..arree! Dad bhula..rrraheee...hai." Shaurya slurred. Agastya pulled him to the side so the other guests couldnt see and glared at him.

"Tune pee rakha hai?" 

"I..iis...it that...ob...obvious? Oopsi." Shaurya chuckled, swaying in his spot.

"What the hell Shaurya? Aaj sagai hai meri!" Nandini whisper yelled.

"So? Meri saaaggai...ttoh...nahhi hai!" Shaurya shrugged.

"Thats it...tu yahan nahi rahega." Agastya announced. "I told you to control yourself for one day...just one f*cking day, aur tu woh bhi nahi kar paya."

Agastya then dragged Shaurya by his neck up the back stairs to his room & locked him in. Then he came back down.

"Bhai...Papa ne agar Shaurya ke baare mein puch liya toh?"

"Relax...Mr Raichand-"

"Papa!" Nandini corrected him. 

"Haan haan...Papa...He'll be busy today toh woh nahi puchenge uss gadhe ke baare mein. Ill handle it. I wont let anything ruin your engagement." Agastya told her. 

"Ok guys...ab chale? Sab wait kar rahe hai." Navya spoke up. They finally entered and there on the stage stood Aryaman Khurrana with his parents Gautam & Megha Khurrana standing behind him.

As Nandini walked towards the stage, Aryaman smiled and held his hand out. Nandini grabbed it and he helped her onto the stage.

"Haaye...humare hone wale jiju toh baare sweet hai." Navya teased. Nandini gave her a look while Aryaman chuckled.

"Papa kaha hai?" Nandini asked as she looked around.

"Yahi pe hoon." A man called out from behind. This was Manish Raichand, Nandini's father. He walked upto the stage and kissed her on the forehead. "Main bas saara intezaam dekh raha tha, mere princess ke liye sab perfect hona chahiye na?"

Agastya resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he knew exactly what his father was doing.

Flashback to awhile back

"Yeh galat hai Mr Raichand! You cant just snatch someone's business like that." Agastya looked at his so called father with disgust.

"Im not snatching anything...yeh ek business deal hai." Manish looked unconcerned.

"Deal woh hota hai jisme dono ki benefit ho....yaha sirf aapka faida hai."

"Oh well..." Manish smirked.

"You! You disgust me-"

"ENOUGH. Mujhe ache se paata hai ke tum mere baare mein kya sochte ho...yeh business mera hai Agastya. So mujhe mat sikhao ke mujhe kya karna chahiye aur kya nahi. Tum jao aur dekho tumhari behen sagai ke liye tayar hui hai ki nahi." 

Flashback Ends

"Kaash mein tujhe bata paati gudiya ke humare so called Papa waise nahi hai jaise tujhe lagta hai...but I dont want to ruin your innocence." Agastya thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Aryaman & Nandini exchanged rings while everyone clapped and congratulated them.

"Yaar humare parents toh aise khush ho rahe hai jaise sagai inka hua hai." Aryaman joked as he and Nandini watched Manish hug Gautam & Megha happily. "Vaise tere khadus baap ko pehli baar haste hue dekh raha hoon main."

"Arya!" Nandini fake glared at him. "Mere Papa khadus nahi hai okay?"

"Ok Ok whatever you say Boss." Aryaman nodded. "Ab tu bhi has le...varna log sochenge ki gunpoint pe sagai ki hai tune."

"Kuch bhi!" Nandini laughed. As they enjoyed among themselves, they were unaware of a man hiding behind a window and taking pictures of them.
