At evening, preeta and lorraine was present in luthra house, Preeta to get ready and lorraine to check the decorations.

Karan : (making faces) kisse matlab kya, obviously meri babydoll se.

Lorraine : (giggling) acchaa, lekin preeta to apne room me ready ho rahi hai, Mai abhi abhi aai waha se.

Karan wide his eyes listening it. While lorraine laughed out.

Preeta smiled, he too passed it.
While he was busy giving teasing smiles to karan.

After a minute, Sameer went from there.

Sunyoji Isko, Rakhyo Jatan Se

Preeta looked at Karan smilingly, he too smiled seeing him. He then signed her to look at a bowl.

Preeta saw it.

"My to be..." was craved on a normal haldi bowl. She gestured it to be beautiful.

Karan in while, was only admiring her, and signed her as beautiful.

Preeta immediately took away her eyes, but her cheeks had a red flush due to his complement.

Karan giggled seeing her.

Aaoji Aao... Thumka Lagaoon...
Zara Behko Ji Behko Ji Behko
Khushiyon Ke Baaje Dhol
Khushiyon Ke Baaje Dhol.

In between, asmina too joined the girls dancing infront of them. She came around preeta, and was dancing around her, while she was smiling.

Asmina pulled her cheeks lightly and resume dancing.

Navrai Chali Sharmati, Ghabrati Woh
Piya Ke Ghar Itlathi Balkathi Woh
Surmai Naina Chalkati Chalkati Woh
Piya Ke Ghar Bharmathi Sakuchati Woh !

Asmina made rakhi and sarla too join with her. All were enjoying happily.

Lorraine went near preeta.

Lorraine : (in her ears) kaisa lag raha hai to be bride.

Preeta look at her. Lorraine was so happy seeing her best friend.

But there was a tear drop in preeta's eyes. Lorraine immediately wiped it, and nodded in no.

Lorraine : itni khushi ke mauke pe udaas nahi hote meri jaan. Mai to hamesha hu na tere saath.

Preeta smiled and nodded in yes.

Lorraine side hug her. Both closed their eyes.

After sometime, dance stopped, and function was over now.
