GIRLS' ROOM

Ragini and Uttara are tying a bandage across Swara's hand trying their best to hide Sanskaar's name on her palm before anybody else sees it...!! Just then Sanskaar enters the room...

Sanskaar: Swara...!!

Uttara: God Sanskaar...!! There is a thing known as knocking the door...!!

Sanskaar: Yeah whatever...!! But I don't have time for this...!! Swara, can you please come with me...?!! I need to show you something...!!

Uttara: Ohoo...!! Mr. Lovebird...!! She's not going anywhere...!! Can't you see we are doing something...?!!

Sanskaar: Swara, are you coming or not...?!!

Uttara: No...!!

Sanskaar: (glaring at Uttara) Do you wish to have a broken nose a day before your marriage...?!!

Uttara: What...?!!

Swara: It's okay di...!! I'm done here, we can go...!!

Uttara: But...!!

Ragini: Let them go and enjoy di...!! They hardly have ten minutes...!!

Sanskaar: Ten minutes...?!!

Ragini: Don't you remember Grandma has called everyone for an emergency meeting in ten minutes...?!!

Uttara: Tch...!! Tch...!! So bad for my duffer romantic brother...!!

Sanskaar: You dirty minded people...!! Can't I take my girlfriend for some other work...?!! Why do you have your brains always running in wrong directions...?!!

Uttara: (chuckles) Look who's talking...!!

Sanskaar: (glares at her angrily) I swear, I'll break your nose...!!

Swara: Alright...!! Alright...!! Stop fighting...!! You wanted to show me something, right...?!! Come let's go...!!

Saying this she drags him out of the room before he actually decides to break Uttara's nose...!!

--------------------.

Seeing no one inside, Sanskaar takes Swara inside the room and locks the door...

Swara: (looks at him raising an eyebrow) What are you doing...?!!

Sanskaar: Tch...!! Tch...!! What these two have done to 'My Innocent Girlfriend'...!! Don't think too much...!! I'm not going to do anything like that...!!

Swara glares at him with a smirk stretched across her lips...

Sanskaar: What...?!! Don't you believe me...?!!

Swara: (chuckles) Umm...!! Not in this situation...!!

Sanskaar: (rolls his eyes) I don't believe this...!! I brought you to show you something...!!

Swara: Then, what was the need for closing the door...?!!

Sanskaar: Because I don't want anyone else to see it...!!

Swara: Really...?!! What is it...?!!

Sanskaar smiles and holding her hand he takes her near a canvas covered with white cloth...!!

Sanskaar: This...!!

Swara: What is it...?!!

Sanskaar: See for yourself...!!

Swara removes the cover and gets astonished to see a new painting...!!

Swara: Sanskaar...!! This is so beautiful...!! When did you paint it...?!!

Sanskaar: At night, when everyone else goes to sleep...!!

Swara: But you never painted something like this...!! Then, why now...?!!

Sanskaar: (smiles) I want to show this to Mom...

Swara: (completes the rest) So that she allows you to continue painting...!!

Sanskaar: I really really love painting...!! I just expect Mom's support and consent as it matters the most to me...!!

Swara: (smiles and places her hand on his shoulder) Trust me Sanskaar, after seeing this she definitely will do that...!!

Sanskaar: (looks at her with hopeful eyes) You think so...??

Swara: I know so...!! I'm proud that I fell in love with you...!!

Saying this she stands on her tippy toes and gives a light peck on his lips...!! Sanskaar smiles against her lips before pulling back...

Sanskaar: Now who's doing things we weren't supposed to do right now...?!!

Swara: (punches his arms) Shut up...!! And you say that I'm unromantic...!! (folds her arms across her chest) How I'm supposed to get romantic when I have a dumb head like you as my boyfriend...?!!

Sanskaar smiles and back hugs her kissing her shoulder...!! He leans towards her ear and whispers in a husky voice...

Sanskaar: Don't insult me...!! You can never find a boyfriend as romantic as me...!! I can show it if you want...!!

Swara: (hits her elbow on his stomach) Don't take this otherwise Mr. Maheshwari...!! Grandma might be calling us...!!

Sanskaar: Alright, but don't blame me later on that I'm the romance buster...!!

Swara: Yeah...!! Yeah...!! I got that...!! Now, come let's go...!!

Saying this she holds his hand and that's when he notices the bandage on her hand...

Sanskaar: Swara, what happened...?!! How did you get hurt...?!!

Swara: I'm not hurt...!!

Sanskaar: (looks at her with worry written all over his face) Then why do you have this bandage...?!!

Swara: (looks at the bandage and smiles sheepishly) Aaahhh...!! This is not because I'm hurt...!!

Sanskaar: (folds his arms across his chest) Oh really...!!

Swara: It's actually to hide something...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!!

Swara: Your name, that got written on palm accidentally...!!

Sanskaar: But why do you need to hide it...?!! After all I'm your boyfriend...!!

Swara: Yes, but not officially...!!

Sanskaar: Huhh...?!!

Swara: Ofoo...!! You know that...!! I know that...!! But everyone else in the house doesn't...!!

Sanskaar: So, do you want me to announce it officially...?!!

Swara: Shut up Sanskaar...!! Let's go...!!

Saying this she locks her arm with his and drags him along with her...

Sanskaar: No, seriously I can do that...!!

Swara: Not now...!!

Sanskaar: Then when...?!!

Swara: Later...!! When the time is right...!!

Sanskaar: But I will announce it...!!

Swara: Alright...!! You'll do that...!! Happy...?!!

Sanskaar: (grinning widely) Happy to the power infinity...!!

With this both of them smile looking at each other and leave for Grandma's urgent meeting...!!

-------------------.

Everyone is gathered in the main hall including Uttara's in-laws...!!

Grandma: I have called you all to discuss the schedule for the Sangeet ceremony tomorrow...!!

Annapurna: But Maa, we have already made a schedule...!!

Grandma: I don't believe you boring people. I know what you all could have possibly planned out...!! So, cancel everything that you all have planned and listen to me...!!

Sujata: Maa...!! But the auspicious 'muhurat' for the prayer by the bride and groom falls in between the schedule...!!

Grandma: Then, we'll stop the performance at that time and continue after the prayer is done...!! Now, since all the problems are solved, listen to the schedule carefully...!!

Everyone has their eyes and ears all set as Grandma starts telling them what has she planned...

Grandma: Now, to begin with I want a dance from all the oldies of both the families, which includes, Durga and Annu, Ram and Sujata, Mr. and Mrs. Mehrotra...!! After that a dance by the bride and the groom...!! Followed by a performance by Ragini along with...

Ragini: (shouts almost immediately) Laksh...!!

Laksh: (shocked) What...?!! No...!!

Grandma: So, it will be Laksh and Ragini...!!

Laksh: (pouts) This is not fair Dadi...!!

Grandma: (winks at him and continues) After that, we'll need something refreshing...!! So, I want a dance on some latest item number...!! Now, who'll be doing it...?!!

Ragini: (shouts again) Me and Swara...!!

Laksh: Do you need to shout every time...?!!

Swara: (shouts next) With Sanskaar and Laksh...!!

Grandma: (claps her hand) Perfect...!! Now, the group performance is done...!! But other than the bride and groom, I wanted two more romantic performances...!! One will be given by Laksh and Ragini...

Laksh: (shouts at the top of his voice) Romantic...?!!

Grandma: Obviously, I don't expect you two to do a horror show...!!

Everyone starts giggling seeing Laksh's expressions...

Grandma: Now, Swara will give me the next romantic performance...!!

Swara: (shocked) Me...?!! Dadi, why are you giving heart attacks to each one of us...?!!

Grandma: Come on, you all are quite young...!! If your Grandad would have been alive, I bet we would have received the award for being the most romantic couple even at this age...!! So, stop complaining and decide with whom you would want to dance, Sanskaar or Tarun, as these two are only left...!! Other than this if you all want you can give other performances too...!!

Swara simply nods her head and looks at Sanskaar who in turns wiggles his eyebrows giving a mischievous smile...!!

Later, when everyone leaves, Tarun stops Sanskaar by grabbing his arm...

Tarun: Get ready to lose tomorrow as she's going to chose me as her dance partner...!!

Sanskaar: (frees his arm and pats Tarun's shoulders) All the best for that...!!

------------------.

Next day, the Sangeet ceremony is about to start and everyone is busy welcoming the guests when Sanskaar goes near Swara and whispers in her ears...

Sanskaar: So, all set for the dance today...?!!

Swara: Yup...!! We did quite some practice yesterday for the group performance...!!

Sanskaar: I'm not talking about that...!!

Swara: (acting innocent) Then...?!!

Sanskaar: The couple performance...!!

Swara: (teasingly) Who said I'm going to dance with you...?!!

Sanskaar: Then...?!!

Swara: You never know...!!

Saying this she winks at him and goes to stand beside Ragini...!! After sometime, the Mehrotra family arrives but this time with a friend of theirs. A pretty looking girl almost twenty or twenty one years of age, who is introduced to everyone as Tarun's friend...!!

Tarun: Sanskaar, meet my friend...!! Tanisha...!! Tanisha, he is Sanskaar...!!

Tanisha smiles suggestively looking at him and forwards her hand for a handshake...

Tanisha: Pleasure meeting you...!!

Sanskaar looks at her hands and then stuffs his own hands into the side pockets of his black sherwani...

Sanskaar: Hi...!!

Tarun: Oh come on Sanskaar...!! Don't be so rude to a beautiful lady...!!

Sanskaar: (rolls his eyes) Do I look like I care...?!!

Saying this he walks away...!! Tarun and Tanisha smirk looking at his retreating figure which couldn't go unnoticed by Swara and Ragini...

Ragini: Is it only me or this girl is actually giving a bad feel...?!!

Swara: I feel that too, Ragini...!!

-------------------.

The performances start and after the performance by the elder ones and the bride-groom couple, now it's the turn of Laksh and Ragini's couple dance...!! Laksh holds her by waist and pulls her closer as the song starts...

Pal, do pal, ki hi kyun hai zindagi
Iss, pyar, ko hai sadiyaan kaafi nahi
Toh khuda se maang lun
Mohalat main ik nayi
Rehna hai bas yahaan
Ab door tujhse jaana nahi

Jo tu mera humdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Teri muskurahatein hain taaqat meri
Mujhko inhi se ummeed mili
Chaahe kare koi sitam ye jahaan
Inme hi hai sadaa hifaazat meri
Zindagani badi khoobsurat hui
Jannat ab aur kya hogi kahin

Jo tu mera Humdard hai
Jo tu mera Humdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera Humdard hai
Woooo...
Teri dhadkano se hai zindagi meri
Khwahishein teri ab duaaein meri
Kitna anokha bandhan hai ye
Teri meri jaan jo ek hui
Lotunga yahaan tere paas main haan
Waada hai mera mar bhi jaaun kahin

Jo tu mera humdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Suhaana har dard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
hmmm.. humdard hai
hmmm.. humdard hai
hmmm.. humdard hai
hmmm.. humdard hai...

The whole hall roars with the sounds of applauses as their performance ends...

Grandma: Well done my kids...!! Maybe I'll start thinking of marrying you both too...!!

Laksh: What...?!! No...?!!

Ragini: (glares at him) Excuse me...!! What do you mean by no...?!!

Laksh: I mean... I mean not now...!! After sometimes...!!

Ragini: Oh...!! That's okay then, otherwise I almost started thinking of different ways to kill you.

Grandma: Now, next...!! Group performance...!! Where are my four champions...?!!

As soon as she says this the lights get switched off and, Swara and Ragini are seen gracing the center stage as the recent item number hits the music system...

Dha ni saa... Dha ni saa...

(Swara) Kaliyon jaisa husn jo paya
Har adaa mein noor hai aaya

(Ragini) Saat mare aur sathattar ghayal
Blame doon Rab ko kyun aisa banaya?

(Sanskaar) Tera jis se pad gaya paala
Acche ko ghalat kar daala

(Laksh) Tera.. nahi tera koi dosh dosh
Tera husn hi jabardast dast

(SanLak) Tu cheez badi hai mast mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast mast

(Swaragini) Main cheez badi hoon mast

Cheez badi..

(Laksh) Nahi tujhko koi hosh hosh
Us par joban ka josh josh

(Sanskaar) Tera.. nahi tera
Nahi tera koi dosh dosh
Madhosh hai tu har waqt waqt

(SanLak) Tu cheez badi hai mast mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast mast

(Swaragini) Main cheez badi hoon mast

Cheez badi..

(Swara) Ho ankhiyan farebi, shaitani hain
Ishq mein tere marjani hai

(Ragini) Kitna koi khud ko bachaaye
Aag dilon mein lag jaani hai

(Sanskaar) Jaadu aisa kar daala
Na hosh kisi ne sambhala
Tera..

(Laksh) Nahi tera koi dosh dosh
Tera husn hi jabardast dast

(Just then Yash runs to the stage and starts dancing jumping in between them)

(SanLakYash) Tu cheez badi hai mast mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast
Tu cheez badi hai mast mast

(Swaragini) Main cheez badi hoon mast

And the song gets over as Swara and Ragini give a kiss on either cheeks of Yash...!!

Laksh: (whispers to Sanskaar) Look Bhai...!! We danced on the whole song and this Yash took away our kisses just on jumping on the last line of the song...!!

Sanskaar: Woah...!! I don't believe this...!! Now we are jealous of a seven years old child...!!

Just after a few moments, Annapurna informs Grandma that it's the time for the prayer by the bride and the groom...

Grandma: Now, everyone...!! We'll be doing the prayer first and the last performance will be continued after that...!!

With this everyone proceeds for the in-house temple...!! And when no one was paying attention, Tarun spills some orange juice on Sanskaar's clothes intentionally...

Sanskaar: (angrily) What the heck...?!!

Tarun: (smirks) I'm... I'm so sorry...!!

Sanskaar: (looks at him) Well you don't look much sorry...!! The smirk on your face is actually contradicting your words...!!

Tarun: Alright, may be I'm not sorry but instead of wasting your time on arguing with me, why don't you go and get changed...!!

Sanskaar: (rolls his eyes) Unbelievable...!!

Saying this he goes back to the boys' room...!!

------------------.

Sanskaar reaches the room and goes straight away to the washroom without even switching on the lights of the room...!! A few moments later when he returns back to the room in just his track pants and decides to turn on the lights, he feels someone's presence in there...!! Seeing around, in the dim light coming in from the window, he gets shocked to find someone lying on the bed...!! Switching on the lights instantly he gets all the more shocked on seeing Tanisha lying over there in the minimum clothing possible...!!

Sanskaar panics for a moment unable to realize what actually might have happened...!! Evading all the thoughts arising in his mind, he goes near her slowly to check whether she is alright or not...!!

But the moment, he bends a little towards her, somebody flung the door of the room open and everyone of both the families enter inside leaving Sanskaar in a haphazard condition...!! Everything happens so suddenly that he couldn't even realize that everyone standing in the room might be doubting him for something he can never do...

Tarun: (shouts) Oh my God...!! Tanisha...!! What did you do to her, Sanskaar...?!!

Sanskaar: I... I... haven't done anything...!!

Sanskaar scans the faces of everyone in the room when his eyes land on Swara...!! Her eyes looking straight into his soul but her face emotionless...!! Sanskaar looks at her with pleading eyes shaking his head slightly as if trying to prove his innocence...!! Swara looks at him and then at Ragini, who in turn, runs quickly and covers Tanisha, lying over there almost unconsciously and whispers in her ears...

Ragini: I knew it that you are up to
