The moment Swara and Ragini walk down the aisle to check out the arrangements one last time before the wedding rituals start, they see Sanskaar and Laksh glaring at them...!! Smiling nervously, both of them walk towards their boyfriends with slow steps fearing because of their angry glare and before they could say anything in their defense, Laksh takes the lead and speaks,

Laksh: What were you two doing with that jerk...?!!
Ragini: Huhh...?!! What...?!!
Swara: What were we doing...?!!

Sanskaar gives her a threatening look and in two long strides he stands closer to her; much more close than she expected...!! His hot breath fans over her face and realizing the situation they are in, Swara retreats back...!!

Swara: What are you doing...?!!
Sanskaar: I know you better than you expect of me...!! So, stop fooling around and tell me what were you talking about or shall I go and ask him directly...!!
Swara: (smiles and holds his hand) Don't worry, everything is going to be alright...!!
Sanskaar: Why do I have a feeling that you two are up to something...?!!

Swara walks a little bit closer to him and places her palm on his cheek...

Swara: Just trust me...!! You've done so much for me, so, at least let me do a little bit of my part...!!
Sanskaar: I'm not stopping you from doing anything Swara...!! Just... it's just I don't want to see you in any type of trouble...!!
Laksh: Exactly, we don't want you both to get hurt in any manner...!!
Ragini: Laksh...!! Sanskaar...!! Trust us...!! Nothing will happen...!!
Laksh: But what are you both doing exactly...?!!
Swara: (smirks looking at Ragini) Just wait until the wedding rituals are completed...!!
Laksh: I told you bhai...!!
Sanskaar: What...?!!
Laksh: That our two 'knights in shining armor' won't let it go so easily...!!

Sanskaar takes a deep breath looking at Swara who in turn just keeps smirking thinking of how to execute her further plan...!!

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

As the wedding rituals start reaching the verge of completion, Tarun starts getting hysterical...!! Rubbing his hands together, he wipes off the tiny droplets of sweat forming on his forehead from time to time...!! He just keeps praying that the rituals might get delayed so that he can find an escape route...!!

But to his dismay, before he could think of something, Aman fills Uttara's hairline with vermillion and adorns her neck with the auspicious black thread, the 'mangalsutra'.

Tarun's heart skips a beat as his eyes land on Swara and Ragini who in turn smirk looking at him as if threatening him with their looks and saying, 'Now-is-the-time'.

Soon enough the newly weds start taking the blessing from all the elders but Tarun could feel the land beneath his feet shaking...!! He just wishes if could just disappear for the moment...!! Swara chuckles looking at his condition and as she tosses her mobile phone in her hands, Tarun feels thousands of hammers banging his head at the same time...!!

Swara gives him a final glance and walks towards Aman with steady steps...!! Standing right next to him, she speaks...

Swara: Jiju...!! I want to...

Before she could complete, Tarun jumps in between...

Tarun: Bhai, I want to say something...!!
Aman: What happened Tarun...?!!
Tarun: Actually... I... umm... that...
Aman: What is it Tarun...?!!
Tarun: I... I...
Swara: Jiju, by the time he decides what to say, why don't you see this...!!
Aman: Yes, Swara...

Swara unlocks her mobile and starts browsing through the folders...!! With each passing moment, Tarun could see the situation slipping off his hand and finally he concludes that revealing everything himself will cause much less loss to him...

Swara: Yes, here it is...!!

She forwards her mobile towards Aman and as he tries to hold it, Tarun shouts all of a sudden...

Tarun: (shouts) It was all because of me...!!
Aman: (retreats his hand back and looks at him) What...?!! What was because of you...?!!
Tarun: Umm... That...

As he starts stuttering again, Swara folds her arms across her chest and waves her mobile slightly threatening him...!!

Aman: (anxiously) Are you telling me or not Tarun...?!!

Seeing his elder brother losing his control, Tarun lowers down his head and confesses...

Tarun: It wasn't Sanskaar's fault...!!

Aman looks at him angrily as everyone turns their attention towards them...

Aman: What wasn't his fault...?!! Is it what I think it is...?!!
Tarun: (nods his head slowly) I asked Tanisha to do everything...!! Sanskaar is innocent...!! He didn't
Aman: (angrily) What the hell Tarun...?!! I know you and Sanskaar don't go along very well but...
Ragini: Well, you asked for this...

Saying this she leaps towards Tarun landing a punch right on his nose...!! As Tarun winces in pain Laksh comes and holds Ragini by her waist...

Laksh: No, Ragini stop...!!
Ragini: Leave me Laksh...!! Nobody messes with Ragini Gaddodia's friends...!!
Laksh: No, Ragini...!! You don't have to do this...!! We can handle...
Swara: If she can't do this then let me do the honors...!!

Saying this she gives him a tight slap...!! Tarun feels a searing pain across his cheeks as her palm comes in contact with his face...!! Sanskaar, literally, slaps his forehead and runs towards Swara to stop her but she gets so adamant that he picks her up holding her waist and twirls her around...!!

Sanskaar: Swara, don't...!!
Swara: You think you can stop me...?!! Leave, Sanskaar...!!

But before he could say anything else, all of them notice Sujata matching towards Tarun and soon enough she places a second slap on his another cheek...

Sanskaar: God, Mom...!! Please, not you at least...!!

But Sujata decides to ignore everyone and keeps on ranting and thrashing him...

Sujata: How can you even dare to do this...?!! You... you tried to disgrace my son... My Sanskaar...!! You are from groom's side doesn't mean that we'll tolerate this...!! Even I believed this...!! You made me feel...
Sanskaar: Mom, stop slapping him at least...!!

With one hand, Sanskaar grabs Swara by waist and with other hand he tries to get a hold of his mother...!! With much difficulty he gets a hold of her arms and he pulls her away from Tarun...

Sanskaar: Mom...!! Mom...!! Please stop...!!
Sujata: Why...?!! Why should I stop...?!!
Sanskaar: Why all my ladies are in action mode today...?!!
Aman: Don't stop them, Sanskaar...!! This punishment is much less in comparison to what he has done...!! But why did you do this Tarun...?!!
Sanskaar: (speaks in a low voice) Because he likes Swara and he thought...
Aman: (cuts in between) That he can impress her by putting you down in front of everyone...!!

Sanskaar slowly nods his head trying to hold Swara back from slapping him again...!! Aman looks at Tarun furiously and raises his hand but Sanskaar stops him in the nick of time...

Sanskaar: Jiju, stop...!! I think that's enough...!! I know he did wrong but we shouldn't embarrass him like that...!! It will only make the situation worse...!! I have nothing against him and I think we all should give him another chance...!!
Swara: (cuts in between and looks at Tarun) Now, did you get that why I chose him...?!! If Sanskaar has forgotten everything, then so will I...!! You're a great person with a wonderful family...!! Just don't ruin yourself and I hope you to get a life partner who supports you in every ups and downs of your life...!!

Tarun feels guilty for everything he did in a fit of rage and looks at Sanskaar...!!
Asking for an apology from him, he just walks out...!! Mr. and Mrs. Mehrotra ask for forgiveness from the entire Maheshwari family....

Mr. Mehrotra: We are really sorry for everything that our son did...!!
Durga Prasad: You don't have to apologize for anything...!! We are a family now and Tarun is already guilty for everything that has happened...!!
Sanskaar: Uncle...!! Aunty...!!
Mrs. Mehrotra: Yes Sanskaar...!!
Sanskaar: I know I don't have to say this but please don't let this incident affect our sister's life in any manner...!!
Aman: You don't have to worry about that Sanskaar...!! I'll make sure to keep Uttara more happy than you all expect me to...!!
Mrs. Mehrotra: Yes, Sanskaar...!! After this marriage we are taking a daughter with us...!!

Sanskaar smiles and nods his head...!!

Later the Mehrotra family is given a farewell with full respect along with the bride and groom....!!

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

Now, everyone will be going back to Mumbai the next day, so, Swara, Sanskaar, Laksh and Ragini, all four are sitting on the terrace talking and enjoying the last night in Kolkata after all the ruction which almost turned their lives upside down...!!

Sitting on a mat placed on the floor of the terrace, Swara leans her head on Sanskaar's shoulder whereas Laksh and Ragini sit in front of them...

Laksh: What did you both say exactly that he blurted out everything...?!!
Ragini: That we have a video that shows Tanisha revealing it was him who was behind everything...!!
Swara: And he thought it would be better if he confesses everything himself rather than us...!!
Sanskaar: And where is the video...?!!
Swara: (shrugs her shoulders) We don't have it...!!
Sanskaar: Then who does...?!!
Swara: No one...!!
Laksh: Wait, what...?!!

Seeing the expressions on Sanskaar's and Laksh's face, Swara and Ragini burst into a fit of laughter rolling on the floor...

Laksh: Are you both going to tell us what happened...?!!
Swara: Actually, we planned to record everything once Tanisha starts confessing...!! Everything was going well as per the plan...!! With just once punch from Ragini she blurts out everything and Ragini was in-charge of the recording...!! Once everything was over we found out that...

Swara stops and starts giggling once again...

Sanskaar: That...?!!
Ragini: (smiles nervously and scratches the back of her neck) That I forgot to switch on the recorder in a hurry...!!
Laksh: What...?!! Seriously...?!!
Sanskaar: Then you had no video at all...?!!
Swara: Nope...!!
Ragini: (smiles widely) But that Tarun didn't know that...!!
Laksh: So, you both fooled him...?!!
Sanskaar: But what if he would have asked for the video...?!!
Swara: He wouldn't have...!! Because once a person is wrong, he lives in a constant fear and we took advantage of that fear...!!
Sanskaar: Gosh...!! I got to say that I have quite an intelligent girlfriend...!!
Swara: And don't you even doubt that...!!

With that all four of them burst into laughter once again...!!

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

Next day, everyone reaches Mumbai...!! Where the Maheshwari family leaves for the Maheshwari Mansion, Sanskaar accompanies Simmy, Swara and Yash...!!

Reaching their home, Swara goes to bring back Mr. TR from the neighbor's house whereas everyone else goes inside...!!

After a few minutes, Swara returns and places Mr. TR in her room and turns to Sanskaar...

Swara: You just stay here...!! I'll go and get some water to drink...!!

Sanskaar nods his head and decides to talk to Mr. TR a little bit...!!

Sanskaar: Hii...!! Missed me...?!!
Mr. TR: Stupid...!! Idiot...!!
Sanskaar: Woah...!! You are back to your ungrateful mode from the first sentence itself...?!!
Mr. TR: East or West...
Sanskaar: Sanky is the best...!!
Mr. TR: (scratches his head with the back of his wings before speaking again) Cutie pie is the best...!!
Sanskaar: Right...!! Wait... what...?!! Who taught you that...?!! You know how much it took me to get you memorize that line...?!!
Mr. TR: East or West, Cutie pie is the best...!!
Sanskaar: I know this...!! My Girlfriend has done this...!!
Mr. TR: My Girlfriend...!! My Girlfriend...!!
Sanskaar: Excuse me...!! My Girlfriend...!!
Mr. TR: Stupid...!! My Girlfriend...!!
Sanskaar: I'll kill you...!! Say my... my... my girlfriend...!!
Mr. TR: My... my... my girlfriend...!!
Sanskaar: Ughh...!! Okay, say Sanskaar's girlfriend...!!
Mr. TR: My girlfriend...!! Idiot...!!

Sanskaar mentally slaps his forehead finding it a lot more difficult this time...

Sanskaar: Okay, let Swara decide then....!!

Just then Swara arrives with two glasses of water...

Swara: What's happening...?!!
Sanskaar: First sit down...!!
Swara: But...
Sanskaar: Stop asking questions and sit down first...!!

Sanskaar pulls her with a force towards himself that she falls right in his arms with water all over them...

Swara: (shrieks) Ughh...!! Sanskaar, can't you do anything with a little patience...?!! See I'm all wet because of you now...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!! It wasn't my fault...!!
Swara: Seriously...?!!
Sanskaar: Alright...!! I'm sorry...!! Come here, I'll help you out...!!
Swara: No...
Mr. TR: (cuts in between) My Girlfriend...!!
Swara: Wait...!! What did he say...?!!
Sanskaar: See...!! That's what I was saying...!! He is fighting with me now...!! You decide... who's your boyfriend...!! Me, right...?!!
Swara: Of course, it's you but I think Mr. TR is more cute...!!
Mr. TR: My Girlfriend...!!
Sanskaar: Ugh...!! It's official, I hate you now, Mr. TR...!! And you (looks at Swara) what are you doing above me if I look less cute to you...?!!
Swara: (innocently) But you only say that boys are not cute...!!
Sanskaar: Yeah whatever...!! Get up from me and let me go....!! I have some important work...!!
Swara: But, at least drink some water before you go...!!
Sanskaar: Geez...!! Now, you are not even trying to stop me...!!
Swara: But you have some important work...!!
Sanskaar: Ugh...!! Forget it...!!

Saying this he picks up his car keys and leaves whereas Swara starts laughing as soon as he exits the main door...

Swara: Don't you think he looks cutest when he's angry and jealous at the same time...!! I don't believe that he got jealous over such a small thing...!!
Mr. TR: East or West, Cutie Pie is the best...!!
Swara: Yup...!! He is the best...!! But that's our secret that he's my Cutie Pie...!!

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

Same night, Sanskaar is sitting on his bed expecting Swara's call to convince him after he left...!! As he starts getting anxious and impatient, his phone rings but not the way he expected...!! Instead of a phone call, he receives a message...

Sanskaar: (glares at the mobile screen) You stupid mobile...!! Can't you ring a bit longer...?!!

Tapping on the message icon, he reads the message...

(Swa) Are you still angry...?!! 😯😯

Episode ends...!!
