Sharmas house

Anand Sharma, the elder member of the family in Sharma's house, values family reputation above all else. According to him, a word is a word, unwavering till the end.

Anand: Where's Prakruti Sumalatha?

Suma: She went to the temple. She may come now.

Anand: prepare for the arrival of our future son-in-law. They may come now.

(Rathod family stays in separate house as bride and groom can't stay together till marriage day.)

Suma: Okay, father-in-law. Says frightened tone,

Suma directs all workers to gather in front of the house and welcome their son-in-law with a flower shower. Labour's nod their heads.

Prakruti and Anu arrive home.

Anand Sharma enters prakruti room. As Anand wants to talk to Prakruti. Anu leaves the room.

Prakruti: What do you want to talk, grandpa?

Anand hugs Prakruti. Prakruti breaks the hug and says, "No need, grandpa. Just be happy that you're finally free from your 21 years of burden."

Anand: You're not a burden, you are my favorite grand-daughter.

Prakruti: I wish I wasn't, grandpa.

Anand: I did it for my reputation and for your safety.

Prakruti: Be happy, nothing will affect your reputation. I want to be alone, don't want to talk to anyone.

Anand: Prakruti, listen child.

Prakruti: I get it grandpa . I must be a good wife, daughter-in-law, and mother to my future kids. I'll ensure that I don't harm your reputation. Now I need some peace grandpa please go from here.

Anand sadly leaves.

Workers stands with flower and Shashi, the son-in-law of Anand Sharma, waiting with a garland to welcome the son-in-law of the Sharma family.

A car arrives and a handsome man steps out. They threw flowers on him. He was confused but assumed it was a wedding tradition. Shashi garlands himself and welcomes him.

Anand who came gets shocked. Anand got angry and asked, "What did you guys do?

Shashi: I greeted our son-in-law.

Anand :he is not Adik.

Advay and Shridar both understand the situation Anand turns to advay

Anand: Who are you?

Advay: Sorry, sir. , I believe there was some misunderstanding. I'm Advay Adik's cousin. Late Aravind Rathod , and Kavya Rathod's Son

Advay : grandpa used talk about you sir.

Adik's family arrived and were surprised to see Advay with a garland. Pallavi, Adik's mother, greets and hugs Advay. Sorry Advay, I couldn't call you child.

Advay: It's fine, Auntie. Everyone greets him and asks about him while hugging him. Shridhara rolls his eyes.

Anand welcomes Rathod family.

Raj Sharma prakruti's father gives Groom dress to Adik.

Adik: Thank you uncle.

Raj Sharma: No need to thank me, it's our custom.

Anand: Suma, take them to guest rooms.

Advay commented Uncle, this house looks like a house from an old Hindi film." I loved this house.

Shridhar: Oh yeah, (Lost in thought)

Advay noticed it. Advay: What's on your mind, uncle?

Shridhara: Nothing.

Advay: Uncle, you take rest. I'll take a quick tour of the house,

Shridhar: Okay,

Advay goes to check the house. He saw people making arrangements for the alter. He helps them and then goes to the kitchen. He tastes some sweets and praises the women who cooked them. The women thanked him. He was on the first floor now.

He hears someone crying and saying, "I wish you were here. Why did you leave me?" "Why? She screams, 'I hate you! It's all your fault." "I wish I was never born; I hate you." He halted as someone interrupted him from opening the door.

Anu: What are you doing?
