Gauri: Hmein khusiyon ka to haq hi nhi Hai bhaiyya.

Gaurav (Hugging her): Esa nhi bolte pagal.

Gaurav: Chup kr... Ese nhi bolte.

Gauri (Crying): Kon krega hm se saadi... KSI k laiq nhi rhe ab hm.

Gauri: Pr bhaiyya usy to hm ne thukra kr bhej dia tha Ajay ki khatir... Ab to hm unse nazrein BHi nhi Mila skte.

Gaurav: Gauri wo purani bat thi or jhanvi ji ne khud kaha Hai k unhe ya Omkara ko is rishte SE koi aitraz nhi hai.

Gauri: (Crying)) Hmein ab Kya Krna chahiye.... Hmein kuch smjh nhi arha... Akhir wo hm jesi badnam lrki se kyun Saadi krna chahega.

Gaurav: Tu esa kyun soch rhi hai... Duniya main ache log BHi hote hain... Or main Jhanvi ji ko kafi arse SE janta hun... Buht achi hain wo.

Gauri was still confused.
