Headquarters...
There were many things that Bandana didn't tell Rohit. She knew that his answer was a yes, but she didn't want their relation to start with a lie.

Everything was done. Bandana was resting in her room after dinner. Sameeksha came. "Finally..." Bandana sighed. Sameeksha sat on the bed and Bandana immediately laid resting her head on Sameeksha'a lap.

"Ohkay, kya hua?" Sameeksha asked as she didn't expect it. "Yaar, boht confusion chal raha dimaag me" She said holding Sameeksha's hand.

Sameeksha understood that it was something serious. "Mene Rohit ko nhi btaya ke me unki fan hu" Bandana said in a low voice. "Yeah, so?" Sameeksha asked. Bandana looked at her giving a 'seriously?' look. "Mene itni badi baat chupai hai dude!" Bandana said sitting in the bed.

"Bandana, look, yeh baat chupani hi hogi. Koi celebrity kyu chahega ke uski shaadi fan se ho?" Sameeksha asked. "Why not??" Bandana asked shocked. "Bandana c'mon! Ek fan ka pyaar kab takk hota hai? Crush hi to hai, kab takk tikega? Ek mahina? Do mahine? Ek saal? Zada se zada paanch saal? Shaadi ka risk koi kyu le fir?" Sameeksha asked. "Na mera pyaar esa hai aur na Rohit ki soch" Bandana said.

Sameeksha chuckled. "Rohit apne fans ko kese treat karta hai yeh ham dono ko pta hai. Kabhi kisi fanpage ke posts ko like nhi krta, messages ko reply nhi krta, comments pe jawaab nhi deta...aur ab dusre celebrities ko dekh. Kitna khayal rakhte hai sab apne fans ka, aur yeh..." Sameeksha said.

"Show nhi krte iska matlab yeh nhi ke unke dil me nhi kucch...aur mujhe unhe yeh baat btani hai, me jhooth nhi bolna chahti unse" Bandana said.

"Sach chupana hai Bandana, jhooth bolne ko kon keh raha hai?" Shahveer, who was standing at the door, said. He came in and sat next to the ladies. "Sameeksha theek keh rhi hai" He said.

After many discussions, finally Bandana agreed.

Next morning, Negi Nivaas...
Devaki was waiting for Karan to come out of the bathroom. She was ready, however the most important thing was missing: sindhoor.

"Karan? Aur kitna time lag..." She stopped as he came out, drying his hair with a towel. Drops of water were falling from his shirtless upper body on his jeans.

"Haan?" Karan asked going towards her. She looked down and then looked at him again. She repeated this for a couple of times. Karan smiled a bit.

"Devaki? You're okay na?" He asked placing his right hand on her cheek. She nodded. "Woh...sindhoor...laga dijie" She said showing him the small box of sindhoor. He smiled and nodded. She closed her eyes and he applied sindhoor in her partition.

She smiled, and was about to leave when Karan held her elbow. She looked at him. "Mene tumhara kaam kia aur tum khush ho geyi, ab tum mera kaam karo aur mujhe khush kardo" He said wrapping his arms around her neck.

"Apne tayaar hone me vese hi boht time laga dia, ab aur time waste mat kijie varna late ho jaoghe" She said. "Abhi boht time hai" He said. She placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Ho gaya" She said. "What? Wait! Yeh kya tha!?" He asked confused. "Ab itne me yehi milega...ab dekhie, shaadi ki to suhaag raat manai, sindhoor lagaya to kiss hi milegi na shoti si" She said with a smirk plastered on her face. She got rid of his grip and left.

"Yeh accha nhi hai Devaki!! Me badla zarur lunga!!!" He said loudly. She chuckled and left.

He wore his shirt. "Kya ladki hai yaar, kiss deke chalti bani" He said in disbelief. "Koi na, me bhi Karan Negi hu Mrs Devaki Karan Negi" He said wearing his tie and blazer.
