"Preeta, we don't need to rush, let's take it slowly," he said and she broke the hug and looked at him, he held her close. "You okay with it?" he asked and she nodded. "You're right, we should take it slow," she said and began to leave but he stopped her and moved all her wet fringes away from her face. "Preeta, when I try doing something, I feel as if I am forcing myself on you," he said and she once again tried to leave, he pulled her again and slowly pinned her to the wall.

They kept looking at each other. "Do you doubt my love for you?" he asked and she shook her head and just hugged him tight. They slipped and fell in the bathtub and laughed. "Are you okay?" he asked and she nodded. They got up and he closed the shower. He draped the towel on her shoulders and she smiled and walked outside. He dressed himself closing the washroom door a little and walked outside and saw her wiping her hair. "Preeta, should I bring your clothes here? You're drenched, you will slip," he said.

She shook her head. "Its okay I will go," she said and began to leave but slipped and he held her. "Careful Preeta," he said and picked her in his arms and dropped her till her room. "Thanks," she said and he went.

At evening, the mehndi function was held. Preeta got mehndi on her hands with the letter A hidden. She showed her mehndi to Arjun. "Look, there's your name hidden somewhere," she said and blushed showing her hands. He scanned the mehndi and then after sometime found his name on her wrist.

"Found it, but why here?" he asked. "Because this vein is vena cava and it goes to my heart, and my heart also goes out to you, love," she said and blushed, he smiled and softly pecked her cheek, Sandhya and Gajendra smiled seeing the duo.

Alia had gone to school. And as Karan had promised to meet her by hiding, he had come to school but by taking principal's permission. Alia was called to principal's office and she came and as she saw Karan, she smiled and hugged him. "Beta, I will make you meet your brother, you just have to come with me right now," he said and she agreed and got her bag from the classroom and came back to him. He went taking her and the duo sat in the car and drove off, the car halted at his house.

He got out and made her also come out. "But papa, why did you bring me here? Is bhai here?" she asked, he grabbed her hand and went inside with her and they sat on the couch. "He's not here, but I will make you meet him," he said and she got confused. "How and when?" she asked. "Soon baby, but for that, you have to wait for some days, and stay with me, okay?" he asked, she thought for a while and nodded. He smiled.
