Avinash - See Mr., main nahi jaanta aap hain kaun. Par jitna main samajh paa raha hoon usse to main samajh gaya ki meri bachi aapko kuchh khaas pasand hai nahi. Aur mujhe lagta hai ki iss haveli ka kuchh to bahot bada kissa hai. Vaise, I just wanted to announce this..Karan beta, Monami bache..ye haveli ab tumhara wedding gift hai meri taraf se!

Jaws were dropped, eyes were widened and everyone was stunned as if the time stopped. What did Avinash just say? THE HAVELI HAS BEEN 'GIFTED' TO KARAN & MONAMI?!

It seemed as if the land beneath everyone especially Dilpreet, Nimrit and Kushwant's feet slipped away, and their hearts thumped in extreme shock. In slow-mo, their jaws too almost touched the floor and for someone who knows the whole matter, it was a scene that was like delight to the eyes. 

Monami came out the shock before anyone else and immediately questioned Avinash's sudden announcement that shook even the bravest hearts. She rushed to him and held both his hands as if silently praying that whatever he said is a joke or maybe just her hallucination. 

Monami - Uncle, a-aap ye kya keh rahe hain? Aap..aap mazaak kar rahe hain na?!

Avinash - Nahi bache, maine ye haveli isliye hi khareedi thi. Mujhe pata tha ki Karan Punjab se belong karta hai aur main tum dono ko, especially Karan ko kuchh aisa dena chahta tha jo uske dil ko chhu jaye. Jab mujhe iss haveli ke bikne ka pata chala to maine khareed li. Jab bhi tum dono ki shaadi hoti, main ye tab dene wala thha but it's ok..ab du ya tab, hai to tum dono ki hi!

Karan - Please uncle, hum ye nahi rakh sakte!

Karan denied immediately and Avinash huffed and looked towards Monami so she could make Karan understand but Avinash's frustration increased as he saw Monami agreeing to Karan's denial to their wedding gift. 

Avinash (sternly to MoRan) - Agar tumhare apne papa ye gift dete to kya mana kar dete?

Avinash struck the wrong..actually right nerve. Karan's father is not alive, and Monami's father, although alive, is also not truly a father. Avinash is the only father figure to Monami since her childhood and ever since Monami has come into Karan's life, for Karan too, he has played the supporting and loving role of a father. 

Avinash - Bolo..ab kyu chup ho gaye?! Agar tum dono mein se kisi ke apne papa ye gift dete to tum dono khushi-khushi le lete, nahi? But just because it's me, tum dono mana kar rahe ho. Isko to yahi matlab hua na ki na to main tumhara koi apna hoon aur na hi tum dono ki zindagi mein meri koi ehmiyat hai!

Monami - Uncle, aap ye keh bhi kaise rahe hain?! Aap bhi jaante hain ki meri..infact meri aur Karan ki zindagi mein aapki kya ehmiyat hai. Kya nahi kiya aapne hum dono ke liye? Bachpan se ab tak mujhe sambhala, har nakhra uthaya, har tantrum saha..Sid se zyada mujhe pyaar diya!

Karan - Uncle, sirf Monami ko hi nahi, aapne mujhe bhi ek bete ki tarah samjha, support kiya. Jab koi bada nahi tha, tab aap thhe! Aur ab aap aisa keh rahe hain..

Both Monami and Karan expressed their hearts out and the respect & love they have for Avinash was very clear in their words and eyes. The PSAF troop standing there was now happy and smirking slightly as despite being unaware of the whole matter, they were relieved that the haveli, which seems important here is in Karan & Monami's hands now. 

Dilpreet was silent—in a scary way. His haveli which stands tall due to his blood and sweat, firstly sold and to whom? Someone's who's a "father figure" to his own grandson and now..miracally, his grandson and his girlfriend are the new owners of his haveli. 

Sanjot and Rana and the neighbor couple were somewhat unknowingly relieved that atleast the haveli isn't sold to some stranger and now atleast they could request Karan and Monami to give them shelter for some days, till they find a room on rent.

Nimrit and Kushwant couldn't even come out of the shock till now. They planned and plotted everything, and all was going according to them but all of a sudden..waqt badal diya! Jazbaat badal diye!

As the fact of ownership of the haveli sank in, Karan and Monami shared a tensed look that was accompanied by their furrowed brows. Karan took a deep breath and came in front of Avinash.

Karan - Uncle, first of all, thank you so much ki aapne already humari shaadi ke gift ke baare mein socha, which is not even on the calendar yet. But uncle, hum ye nahi le sakte! Ye meri pishtaini haveli hai, mere daarji, mere papa, mere sab bade isi chhat ke neeche rahe hain aur jab tak mujhe iss haveli ki zimmedari unki khushi se nahi milti, I don't think I am worthy of being its owner. Please uncle, aap haveli firse daarji ke naam kardijiye. 

Every single person present there was stunned to the soul. Majorly Dilpreet, Nimrit and Kushwant had a misconception about Karan that all he wants is to show off about his much luxurious life but now when he's getting the haveli on his and his girlfriend's name, that too without even spending a single penny—he's denying owning it!

Avinash, shocked in the same way, snapped his head towards Monami as if asking her to make Karan understand but what Monami did, made him roll his eyes further. Monami joined her hands in front of Avinash, requesting along with Karan to give the haveli back to the ones who really own it. 

Before Avinash could say anything, Kushwant stepped in the scene. He stood between Karan-Monami and Avinash. His face contoured with frustration and a bit of fear of failing in his plan to destroy them. 

Kushwant - Ek minute ek minute..ye ho kya reya si? Kaunsi hum saath saath hain chal rahi hai aithhe?! 

Monami (with a frown) - You better stay out of it! Tumne haveli bechni thi, tumne bechdi..uncle ne khareedni thi, so khareedli! Ab iss haveli mein chahe koi rahe ya iska bhoot bungla bana de, it's really none of your business!

Kushwant's words struck in his throat and his mouth was zipped by Monami and her sassy words. The whole Shergill family and Kushwant's goons were taken aback and their eyes widened at that sudden outburst. While Karan, PSAF troop and Avinash just chuckled internally as they are well aware of the lioness she is. If she is calm, then good for you but if she's not, then she's a whole tsunami!

Dilpreet composed himself quickly, before anyone else. He stepped forward, surprising Sanjot who was beside him. Her eyes popped out as she hadn't expected Dilpreet to do what he did. 

Dilpreet slowly stood in front of Karan and Monami and joined his hands in front of them and also bowed his head a bit, making a striking pain pinch in Karan's heart and Monami's gut stirred as although there's a cold war between Dilpreet and Monami but still he's very aged than her and also very superior in relation. 

Dilpreet - Tuadda bahot bahot shukriya ki tussi apne aap nu iss haveli de kaabil nahi samajhde, kyuki tussi ho vi nahi..ye haveli usi nu panaah deti hai jo iski izzat kare! Vo nahi jo iss haveli ke logo ko hi dhoka de, unse gaddari kare..vo kya kehte hain? Haan..selfish logo ki koi zaroorat nahi hai aithhe!

Along with Monami, everyone from PSAF, Avinash and even Rana and Sanjot felt furious at Dilpreet's words. 'What is this man's problem?', was everyone's feeling there. Before anyone could say in Karan's defense, Avinash came and faced Dilpreet with hard eyes and unbudgeable courage. 

Avinash - Sir, aakhir aapki problem kya hai? Agar Karan aur Monami haveli accpet kar lete to bhi shayad aapko problem hoti aur ab jab accept nahi kar rahe hain..to bhi aapko problem hai! Problem aakhir exactly hai kya?! Aap chahe to Monu ko bata sakte hain..she's an excellent doctor!

Another wicket down! Dilpreet was also lip tied by Avinash just the way Kushwant was by Monami. Karan, Monami and the Shergills were stunned by Avinash's words while Faizi, Koel, Sanju, Sid, Bala, Chitra, Premji and Sumanji were having a hard time controlling their chuckles. 

Avinash and Monami were now in a hell bad mood, first the fiasco, then Kushwant and now such words from Dilpreet. Monami's face now reflected whatever was going on in her heart and the frustration she was feeling, Karan knew only he could fix it. 

He closed his eyes for a fraction of second, remembered his elders & his teachers, took a deep breath, calmed his racing heart and stepped forward with a hard face—not showing even an ounce of what was going in his mind. 

Karan (to Avinash) - Uncle, main aur Monami aapka gift accept kar rahe hain! Ab shaadi kab hogi vo to pata nahi but yes, this gift means a lot..thank you! Actually..hum na aaj hi apni iss newly gifted haveli mein grahpravesh karenge! Aaj ka to din bhi achha hai..Karvachauth hai! Apni girlfriend ke saath grahpravesh karne ke liye isse better din kya hi hoga, nahi Beeji?!

The sudden change in Karan's mind, words and his tone shocked everyone there, even Monami. They were never ready to accept the haveli as theirs but what Karan said was purely contrasting to what he said earlier. The hardness on his face and the determination in his words, made Monami realize something, that made her smirk internally. 

Karan (in Monami's ear) - Aapke Khadoos Shergill ki Ulti Khopdi chal gayi hai!

Monami looked at him with eyes filled of pride and a mischievous smirk on her lips. Now, she was a part of his plan too! Monami agreed completely to what he said and that shocked their spectators a lot further. Though the PSAF paltan was somewhat happy that maybe now that finally they are getting property which maybe they deserved. Avinash was now contended as his gift has been accepted by both—which he bought for MoRan very heartily. 

The only ones who were shocked and had their jaws touching the ground were the Shergills. Dilpreet, Sanjot, Rana and Nimrit and even Kushwant (a not-so Shergill) saw his whole plan being ruined in front of his eyes. 

Dilpreet - Waah, aakhir ek gaddar ne apna asli rang dikha hi diya! Arre jab le hi leni thi haveli to pehle kyu itne vadde-vadde dialouge maare si?

This time, Dilpreet directly outburst on Karan but now, the tables have turned. The way 5 years ago, Karan kept screaming and begging in front of Dilpreet and he went deaf—now the same way, Karan just turned his head away from Dilpreet and pretended to be deaf for his words. 

Sanjot stood silent—she had her heart divided into two now. Neither she could leave her husband's sides, nor she could be happy for her grandson. But somewhere she was relieved, that their ancestral haveli isn't in some stranger's hand but in the hand of its own well-deserving successor. 

Rana made up his mind and thought to give voice to his opinion. He believed that whether anyone listens to him or not, but his 'bhaisahab' would definitely hear him out. 

Rana - Karan bhaisahab, ek gal karni si.

Karan - Bol veere..tujhe bhi blame karna hai mereko?

Rana - Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho paaji? Maine to pehle vi kuchh nahi kaha si, ab kyu kuchh kahunga? Bus ek gal thi..

Karan - Bol na veere..hichkicha mat!

Rana - Bhaisahab, ab to haveli tuaddi aur parjayi ji di hai, to kya hum kuchh dino ke vaaste isi ghar vich reh sakde hain? Bus kuchh din..fir main kiraye pe makaan dhundh lunga.

Karan's face which was till now covered in confusion, suddenly straightened and he immediately slapped Rana's cheek firmly, that just made Rana chuckle and someone offended.

Karan - Dil to kar raha hai ek zor ka laga du tujhe abhi! Arre khud bhi sun raha hai tu ki kya bol raha hai?! Samaan utha aur andar chal!

Rana's face split into a good laughter as he hugged his brother who felt very contended that atleast one person is on his side and cares for him. Sanjot admired the scene in front of her with glistened eyes. If not everyone, then atleast someone from her family is there with Karan. 

Rana gathered the courage which he couldn't in so many years and picked up his and Nimrit's luggage and went inside the house—without asking or even glancing at Dilpreet. 

Dilpreet's eyes hardened and his teeth gritted audibly seeing Rana's increased audacity and how low he stooped that he asked for shelter from Karan. Nimrit was too fuming internally and shared a look with Kushwant as nothing was going their way. 

Rana (calling from inside the haveli) - Nimrit, tuannu invitation du andar aane ka ya godi vich chak ke le jaava?

Nimrit gasped at her husband's words and immediately ran inside without even thinking for a second further, making Kushwant frown—who had thought maybe she'd rebel more. 

Sanjot lifts her eyelids and looks at Dilpreet who was beside her and nudged at his kurta's sleeve, grabbing his attention. As soon as Dilpreet looked at Sanjot, his hard, frustrated eyes looked into Sanjot's innocence-filled, pleading eyes but he immediately averted his gaze.

Dilpreet - Na Sanjotte, sochiyo vi na! Main iss gaddar ke saath ek chhat ke neeche? Kadi vi nahi!

Sanjot gasped and was about to stop Dilpreet from saying anymore crude words, to not hurt Karan more but she was surprised by what she saw. Karan just smirked—not fake but in the same way, her son & Karan's father, Major Ranjeet Shergill used to do when he knew what he could do to win. 

Karan entwined his fingers with Monami's and walked towards the haveli and was being followed by Avinash and the entire paltan of PSAF. They just reached the entrance of the haveli but didn't enter as Karan remembered what he had vowed—he won't step inside the haveli until his Daarji allow him to. 

Though the rest were confused but Monami knew what he was contemplating mentally and her grip on his hand turned supportively stronger. Dilpreet when noticed his halted steps, smirked knowing Karan wouldn't enter due to the vow he took and breaking vows is not his thing—afterall, Karan's veins have the same blood as Dilpreet!

Dilpreet - Doctor sahiba, le jao apne joru ke ghulam ko andar! Jaa kyu nahi raha? Bahar kyu khada hai, huh?! Haveli ke naye maalik-maalkin bahar khade changge ni dikhte!

Karan - Haan haan, jaa raha hoon. Aap fikar mat kijiye!

Karan replied to Dilpreet without looking back and with sarcasm, but his voice was laced by nervousness. Monami who was right beside him could hear the lub-dub of his rapidly beating heart. 

Dilpreet - Jao ji jao!

When one of his taunts landed straight on Karan's heart, Dilpreet thought he could throw one more at him. But little did he know, this is what Karan wanted—an indirect approval from Dilpreet! 

Both Karan and Monami—with the same victory smirk, turned towards Dilpreet and while looking straight in his eyes, Karan and Monami stepped inside the haveli. And the rest i.e., Avinash and the PSAF troop, followed them inside, ready to know the whole matter.

Karan turned towards Dilpreet completely with a wide grin on his face and that Ulti Khopdi special smirk—and that made Dilpreet realized what he just did. In the stance of being sarcastic, he just indirectly gave Karan the permission to step inside the haveli. 

While Sanjot gasped and Dilpreet fumed at Karan's trick to get the permission, Avinash couldn't control and just laughed out loud and took everyone inside. He knows, no matter how strong Karan is behaving in front of Dilpreet, he isn't the same from inside—he's breaking piece by piece.

Parminder went and stood beside Sanjot, giving her the emotional support without any words spoken and Harpreet went to Dilpreet and dragged him inside his house despite his constant reluctance. 

Dilpreet (frowning) - O chhadd mainu Harpreette!

Harpreet - Mere ghar vi ni chalega? Preeto, chal!

Harpreet somehow dragged Dilpreet inside his house and Sanjot and Parminder followed being tensed.

He made Dilpreet sit down forcefully and  Parminder got him iced water to cool him down.

Dilpreet (angrily) - Dekh liya Sanjotte, sasur se haveli milte hi kaise tevar badal gaye tere pote de! Kaise aankhein dikha kar jaa raha tha aur vo kudi..doctor hai to kya sab jaandi hai o?!

Sanjot sat down tiredly and huffed. Now she's stuck again between the two loves of her life—her husband and her beloved grandson and she can't even take anyone's side.

Thankfully, it was evening at last, and much of Sanjot's convincing and his own mental and physical exhaustion—all contributed to making Dilpreet fall asleep. Sharing a look with Parminder, Sanjot picked up something in her hands and quietly sneaked into their haveli. 

As she entered, she first saw Rana and Nimrit in their room and was about to walk past it but the loud noises that came, made her steps halt. 

Nimrit (panicking) - Rana, sach sach batana..aisi kaunsi ghutti piladi hai tuadde bhaisahab ne jo tussi aise unke saath bandh gaye ho?! Tuannu koi andaaza vi hai ki kya kiya hai aapne?

Rana (very calmly) - Meri Nimrit, ab jaakar tomeri akal  khuli hai! Dekha nahi aaj kaise Monami parjayiji Karan bhaisahab de saath khadi rahi, unka haath thhaame..zara ek baat bata, aakhir baar tune kab mera saath diya tha, hm? Jo karti rahi apne liye, haina? Ab us bahot ho gaya Nimrit, ab aur nahi!

Saying so, Rana walked out of their room, making Nimrit question each and every moment of their marriage. Whatever she did till date was never for herself—it had always been for Rana! To make him gain the love and respect he deserves in his Daarji's eyes. To make people realize that he's no less than Karan. But today blaming her for being "selfish"—he broke her and made each and every effort of hers feel meaningless. 

Nimrit fell on her knees, not being able to take the weight of Rana's harsh words. Her face went completely pale and filled with confusion—confusion of not being enough for him. 

Nimrit (mumbling to herself) - Maine sab apne liye kiya? Haan, sab apne liye..haveli, gehne, paise, pyaar, izzat, sab apne liye hi to chahti hoon main!

Being sarcastic in her words, Nimrit huffed on her fate and sat on her bed when Sanjot entered—startling her. 

Nimrit - Beeji? Tussi aithhe? Daarji nu pata hai?!

Sanjot - Na, tere Daarji so rahe hain. Achha, zara chal mere saath.

Nimrit - Kithhe?

Sanjot - Monami de kamre vich..kuchh dena hai tum dono nu!

Sanjot and Nimrit walked towards Karan and Monami's room and all the time, Nimrit tried knowing the reason and also, what's in Sanjot's hands—which is completely covered. The door of their room was already open, so Sanjot and Nimrit stepped in casually, not expecting to witness what they did. 

Monami was half lying on the bed, taking support of the backrest of the bed and Karan was laying on her chest—thankfully not really above her, just half. His face was hidden in her chest, and his arms were holding her waist tight—not letting her move even by an inch. 

Understanding the fear of losing her, Monami too had her one hand caressing Karan's bearded cheek and the other one was calming his trembling heart by caressing his hair slowly. They both had their eyes closed and tried to sink in the moment—trying to gain some calmness and peace amidst the already happened chaos. 

Though the scene in front of Sanjot and Nimrit was tender, intimate, full of comfort but not inappropriate but as it was unexpected to witness so and being embarrassed to see their grandson and brother-in-law respectively, Sanjot and Nimrit immediately turned their backs towards MoRan—who were now aware of their sudden arrival and immediately parted away. 

Karan (quite embarrassed) - B-Beeji? Tussi aithhe?

Sanjot - Sorry sorry puttar, tum dono chalu rakho! Hum chalte hain, chal Nimrit!

Sanjot and Nimrit were about to run from their room, asking them to continue their "activity", when Monami hurriedly rushed and stood in front of them—and has already guessed what all they saw and what they had assumed. 

Monami - Beeji, aap aise bhaag kyu rahe ho? (whispering) Aisa-vaisa kuchh nahi ho raha tha. Karan Daarji ke baare mein sochke thoda pareshaan ho raha tha, to main bus use samjha rahi thi.

Nimrit (in mind) - Hm hmm..aap aise samjhayengi to jethji bina vajeh bhi pareshaan hote rahenge!

Sanjot nodded understandingly to Karan and Monami and all of them sat on the bed when Karan's eyes fell on the plate which was in Sanjot's hands. It was something covered with a red cloth, and he could make out that it's hiding a lot beneath it. 

Karan - Beeji, isme kya hai?

Beeji (smiling wide) - Isme? Isme hai teri hone wali votti di pehli sargi! Aaj Karvachauth hai na isliye. 

Karan, Monami and Nimrit were utterly surprised—although they were already aware of the concept of sargi and as Karan's mother i.e., mother-in-law to Monami and Nimrot is no more, Sanjot is the one who provides sargi to Nimrit, but to Monami also? 

Monami - Par Beeji..meri sargi? Abhi to humari shaadi bhi nahi hui! Aur maine to subah se vrat bhi nahi rakha. 

Sanjot - Achha? Bata kya-kya khaya subah se?

Monami (wondering) - Uhh..I guess 1-2 baar coffee hi pi bus. 

Sanjot - Le fir..babaji ne tera vrat khud rakhva diya. Coffee pi li to koi na..ab jab tak chand aaye tab tak kuchh mat khaana, theek hai?

Karan - Beeji, vo sab to theek hai but Monami kaise vrat rakh sakti hai? Karvachauth to shaadi ke baad hota hai na?

Sanjot (patting his cheek) - Puttar, jaanti hoon abhi shaadi na hui par dil to pehle hi ek bandhan vich bandh chuke hain na? Aur Karvachauth dilon ka rishta maangta hai, kagaz da nahi! Chal chal Monami puttar, ae fad apni sargi..har saal jaise Nimrit ko deti hoon, ye vaisi to nahi hai. Mauka hi nahi laga tere liye kuchh achha laane ka par koi na..shaadi ke baad tere pehle Karvachauth par best saree dilaungi, hm?!

Eyes glistening with a thin layer of tears and heart pounding with warmth, Monami accepted the sargi from Sanjot with faith and love for Karan and his family resided in her heart and touched it to her forehead—highly respecting it and the culture behind it. 

Monami uncovered the Sargi and curiously all three—Monami, Karan and Nimrit, dived in to look what does it has. There was a red saree, maybe bought years ago and kept safely for Karan's to-be wife, a set of matching bangles, a gold chain, a cone of mehendi, some masala mathri, dry fruits, fruits, some sweets—that too her favorite ones—dodda barfi and a red chunri along with shagun of 501 rupees.

Monami - Beeji, itna to de diya aapne sargi mein..fir bhi keh rahi hain ki aap kuchh nahi laaye?

Nimrit (with pride) - Arre..Doctor sahiba, meri pehli Karvachauth pe to Beeji mujhe apne saath khud bazaar lekar gayi thi. Mujhe apne pasand ki saree, bindi, jhumke, chudiyaan aur na jaane kya-kya dilaaya tha! Aur Beeji ne to mujhe pure 16 sringaar ka samaan diya tha!

Beeji - Haan to Nimrit, ek baar inn dono ka vi vyaah ho jaaye, to fir Monami ko ppure 16 sringaar ka samaan dungi, fir iska gharwala khud iska sringaar karega! Sindoor lagayega, jhumke pehnayega..

The teasing in Sanjot's tone and the mentioning of the after-marriage life was enough to make MoRan burst into crimson blushes. Seeing the two stealing glances of each other while blushing, Sanjot felt strange contentment in her heart—atleast if not from Dilpreet, she's getting some happiness seeing MoRan together. 

Sanjot - Khush raho dono!

Saying so, Sanjot kept her hands on both of their heads and blessed them and hurriedly left, thinking Dilpreet might have woken up. Nimrit too left has the darkness was almost about to prevail in the sky and she had to prepare for her own Karvachauth puja and also had to get ready. 

Monami - Karan, Beeji ne kitna de diya na?

Karan - Haq banta hai tumhara iss sargi par. (Pulling her closer) Aakhir meri hone wali votti ho!

Monami giggled and as Karan was about to come closer to her lips to seal the moment, she brought the cone of mehendi between their lips, making him kiss that cold cone. His eyes opened with jolt and he frowned when he saw what he had kissed, instead of what he should have. 

Monami - Subah se to pata nahi tha isliye mehendi nahi lagayi. Lekin ab jab pata hai to..Mr. Shergill, lagayi apne hone wali votti nu mehendi!

Karan smirked at her lil attempt at speaking Punjabi and with his boosted overconfidence, snatched the cone from her hands and held her palm in his. 

A few moments ago, the man who was very confident that his love's palms will be adorned with the most beautiful mehendi, was now struggling to even draw a proper circle. After a lot of re-dos and full of zig-zags, finally Agent Shergill's Mission Mehendi got over and when Monami looked at her palms, she couldn't hold back and just laughed out. 

Monami - Oh my God Khadoos Shergill! Hehee..hahaaa..I just can't believe, jo insaan..hehee..

Karan (annoyed as hell) - Pehle haslo ya bol lo!

Monami - Ya ya..jo insaan 600-800 metre ki range se bhi kisi ko shoot karte waqt apne haath stable rakh sakta hai, vo mehendi lagate waqt itna haath hilayega ki mehendi pe snakes ban jayenge! Oh my..and what is this? Karu loves Monu..aww..Karuuuu!

Monami laughed again and that too hilariously at the cute little 'Karu loves Monu' written on her hand by Karan and was almost about to pinch his cheeks by her fingers—but thankfully, in time, Karan backed off and held her arms by her elbows—securing her mehendi. 

Karan (frowning) - Whatever haan! Department mujhe mehendi lagane ki salary nahi deta!

Monami chuckled inaudibly but was enjoying his annoyed expressions a lot. In a few hours, the whole sky was covered with stars that could be clearly seen—unlike in cities. 

Sanjot, Dilpreet, Parminder and Harmanpreet, along with their puja ki thalis, came on the terrace of Harmanpreet's house and looked here and there in the sky—waiting for the moon. And so did Nimrit and Rana but on the Shergill haveli's terrace. 

The two men—Dilpreet and Rana, didn't even looked at each other, expressing the continuation of their cold war. Sanjot, by her eyes, asked about whereabouts of Monami and Karan, to which, Nimrit just scrunched her shoulders, expressing no knowledge about them. 

While Sanjot waited desperately for MoRan—they were in a WWE battle with the saree.

The red saree that had intricate silver embroidery but was minimalistic in its own way. In front of the mirror, Monami was standing—clutching the pallu to her chest, while Karan was fixing the pleats. 

Monami - Offo Khadoos Shergill, ek saree pehnani bhi nahi aati tumhe to!

Karan (sarcastically) - Haan, roz ka kaam hai na ye mera..ladkiyon ko saree pehnana! Actually bada profit hai iss dhandhe mein! Will you be my partner?

Monami (smirking) - Yes, I will be your life partner!

Both Karan and Monami looked into each other's eyes and burst out laughing and soon, with a lot of flirting and teasing, Monami was ready in her beautiful red saree—that held Sanjot's warmth and Karan's love in its pallu, along with all the shringaar. Karan's fingers brushed against her waist as he fixed the pleats — steady, precise, but the slight shiver that escaped her didn't go unnoticed

Karan wore a contrasting cream kurta and holding the thali in one hand and other entwined in Monami's, he along with Monami, went to the terrace. 

As they reached, all the eyes turned towards them. The ones who knew about them celebrating and even the ones who didn't—just couldn't help but stare at how gorgeous they look—just like some newly married couple. 

Rana (teasing) - Oh ho..aithhe kisi da nava-nava vyaah hoya kya?

Rana laughed at his own teasing as MoRan blushed and earned chuckling from Nimrit, Sanjot, Harmanpreet and Parminder—while Dilpreet stood there with his straight face. 

Karan and Monami, first greeted Sanjot and then Parminder and Harpreet and then went towards Rana and Nimrit respectively. 

Nimrit - Kya baat hai doctorni ji, saree to vadde achhe se baandhi hai aapne!

Monami (blushing profusely) - Karan ne help kari!

Nimrit gasped loudly and her mouth opened in a wide 'O' as no one, especially someone who's as stern as Karan would do it but knowing that he did so was way surprising for her. But before she could make a fuss out of this little information, they all heard someone shout "chaand aa gaya!"

Parminder - Sanju behenji, chaand aa gaya! Chalo, puja kar lete hain!

Sanjot nodded and how the two senior participants of Karvachauth performed the puja, so did the newly joined member of the KC club did. The puja of the moon was done, and all had listened to the infamous and inspire tale of Satyavan-Savitri & now it was time to do the husbands' puja. 

Seeing Sanjot, with love and devotion filled in her heart and expressed through her eyes, Monami applied tilak on Karan's forehead—for which he bent himself a little to ease it up for her to reach his forehead. 

Then she looked at the moon through the sieve and then adored Karan with the same sieve. As if praying that the way the moon is immortal, her love's life and his love for her stays immortal in the same way. The diya on her thali, added the glow on both of their faces and just pure love reflected. 

Monami (mumbling while looking straight in his eyes) - Shergill sahab, mujhe nahi chaand ko dekhiye!

Karan (without breaking the eye contact) - Tch..jiski hone wali gharwali itni khoobsurat ho, vo bhala chaand par kyu nazar daalega?

Karan smiled with adoration of the woman in front of him who's much more beautiful than the moon and turns purely red like a rose whenever he says something like this. He picked up the karva that had water and took it to her lips and helped her breaking her fast. The moon was now just a witness of their love, respect and devotion towards each other. 

Knowing, since Sanjot had asked her to keep the fast, he has also not gulped even a single sip of water—Monami, after having a sip, forwarded the karva to his lips and made him break his fast and then both fed each other the sweets too. 

Rana (surprised) - Bhaisahab, aapne bhi parjayiji de liye vrat rakha si?!

Karan - Agar teri paryaji pyaasi rahegi to mere gale se paani kaise utar sakta hai bhala?! Aur inke bina jeekar bhi kya karunga..isliye mere saath-saath meri Rani Sahiba ki bhi to umar lambi honi chahiye na!

All the men huffed as they knew what's coming up and the expected happened. All the ladies looked at their husbands with the expression of "kuchh seekho"—while MoRan cared about none and were just lost in themselves. 

When Karan saw Sanjot touching Dilpreet's feet for his blessings, he too immediately bent and touched Monami's feet and then touched his forehead. Seeing so, Monami immediately jumped back as this was totally unexpected. 

Monami - Kya kar rahe ho?!

Karan - Arre! Aaj Karvachauth hai aur kuchh dino mein Diwali aa jayegi..apni laxmi ka aashirvaad to chahiye hi mujhe!

Monami's eyes softened and she couldn't hold back and hugged Karan tightly and he too engulfed her in his embrace. Each other's warmth, the love and their hearts that beat just for each other—the perfect KC hug!

While Karan and Monami stood in their tight hug, Riya saw them from her terrace and her heart broke into zillions of pieces. She felt as if someone snatched something which was hers the whole time. Her hands balled into fists as she was having a hard time containing her anger.

Riya (to herself) - Haveli ki maalkin banna mera haq tha, Karan ki votti hona bhi, unke liye Karvachauth ka vrat karna bhi aur unke gale lagna bhi! Sab..sab mera haq tha..jo chheen liya iss Doctor ne!

Kushwant came from behind and kept his hand on his sister's shoulder, turning her towards himself. He held both her shoulders and looked at her with assurance and evil filled in his eyes. 

Kushwant - Chinta na kar, behena..tera har haq tujhe dilakar rahunga!

Unaware of the upcoming twists and turns in their life, MoRan were grinning widely being the utmost happy in each other's arms and murmuring sweet nothings in each other's ears. 

Monami (still being in the hug) - Vaise..Karvachauth ka gift nahi diya tumne.

Karan (pulling her closer) - Room mein chalo, de deta hoon!
