Shashank: Tum shaadi ke liye raji ho jao.
[Translation: You agree the marriage proposal.]

Appu: Are you out of your mind, Shashank? I love you and you're telling me to marry another guy. Unbelievable! How can you even say it in your wildest dreams?

Shashank: Are puri baat to suno. You just say 'yes' to marriage. Isse uncle aunty ka gussa bhi shant ho jaye ga aur hume bhi ageka sochne ke liye vakt mil jayega.
[Translation: First listen fully. Just say yes to marriage. By this uncle aunty's anger will also reduce and we will also get time to think about next move.]

Appu: Are you sure, koi gadbad nahi hogi? Agar sachme mujhe us Sangram se shadi karni padi to?
[Translation: Are you sure, nothing will go wrong? What if I really got married to Sangram?]

Shashank: Don't worry. Nothing will happen like that. Now have your dinner and sleep. Today, I'll tell my parents about us. I'm sure, they will help us. Hmm?

Appu: Hmm...Tell me their reply. Bye Khadus.

Shashank: Bye Shistha.

They ended the call. Appu went down and told her parents about her decision. Her parents were so happy that they literally forgot that they were angry on her. On the other side, Shashank told his parents about Sharva. His parents were first doubtful, but later on their son's pleadings, they agreed.

2 weeks later
In these 2 weeks, Sharva hardly met each other. Today, Sangram's family was going to come at Patil's House to fix the wedding and meet their to be daughter-in-law. Akshara was helping Appu to get ready. Appu had plAstered a fake smile.

Adi: Ya, ya Kelkar Saheb

SM: Akshara vahini kuthayt?
[Translation: Where is Akshara vahini?]

Adi: Aalyach bagha Apurva la gheun.
[Translation: Look, she came with Apurva.]

SM: Kiti god distiye ho! Agdi nakshatra vani. Kay Sangram, aavadli ka honari bayko?
[Translation: How pretty she is looking! Sangram, did you liked your to be wife?]

Sangram starts blushing. Appu was looking them with fake smile. They were discussing the wedding date which was too much for Appu. She stood up angrily. All were shocked by her behaviour. All stood up.

Aksh: Appu?

Appu (shouts in anger): Mala he lagna manya nahi. Mi phakt Sangram la bhetnyasathi ho mhanalele naki lagnasathi. Mi he lagna karnar nahi.
[Translation: I disagree to this marriage. I had only agreed to meet Sangram not for marrying him. I'll not do this marriage.]

Adi: Apurva

He shouts and was going to slap her but Sangram held his hand.

Sangram: Nahi Kaka, maru nahi.
[Translation: No Uncle, don't slap]

Sangram: I know Apurva loves someone else. She had told me. I thought you will support her but no. You forced her to marry me. Now I'm only not interested in doing this marriage. How can I if Apurva loves someone else?

SF: Aditya, tujhya mulila dusra mulga aavadto tar aamchya Sangram shi ticha lagna ka tharvlas? Tila ticha prem milude. Chal Sangram.
[Translation: Aditya, your daughter loves someone else then why you decided her marriage with Sangram. Let her be with the love of her life. Let's go Sangram.]

Sangram's family left from there.

Adi: Apurva, tujhya mule mala yevdha aaikava lagla. Tujhya mule.
[Translation: Apurva, only because of you I had to listen this much.]

Appu: No my fault, Baba. I love Shashank and I'll marry him only.

Saying this, she left the house in anger. After going a little far, she called someone.

Appu: 1st stage completed. I'm reaching in 1 hour. Right now, I'm going to Sumi's house. After getting ready, I'll call you. Bye.

As said, Appu went to Sumi's house. Sumi was waiting for her only. She quickly took Appu in her room. There was a Legends, Jewellery and a make up kit all kept ready. She quickly changed her saree and wore the Lehenga. She started wearing jewellery. Sumi was styling her hairs. After making a cute hairstyle, Sumi started doing Apurva's make up. In 45 minutes, Appu was changed into a to be bride. Sumi applied Kajal from her eye behind Appu's ear. Appu was being nervous.

Sumi: Everything's going to be fine. Give your cute smile. Appu, I really can't believe, in next half an hour you're going to become Mrs. Apurva Shashank Nigam from Ms. Apurva Aditya Patil. Best of luck for your future life.

Sumi hugged Appu with teary eyes. Appu too hugged back. She also had tears in her eyes.

Sumi: After getting jiju, don't forget me.

Appu: Sumi, you're my best friend. How can I forget you?

Sumi: Don't cry, Appu. Or else the eyeliner will spread and ruin your beautiful eye shadow. Then all my efforts will go in vain.

Sumi said dramatically at which Appu chuckled a bit in her tears. Sumi too smiled. She wiped hers and Appu's tears. They hugged each other and left the house.

That's it for today.
