Being in their own world of happiness, everyone forgot about Dr. Mahajan who was standing still without any expressions on his face. It looked as if he's completely shook by Ranjeet's statement. He took some time to process Ranjeet's words and came out of the trance and glared at Ranjeet with wide eyes and flaring nostrils.

Ranjeet (hopefully) - Dr. Sahab, kaha kho gaye? Banegi na Monami humare ghar ki chhoti bahu??

Ranjeet's question seemed delighting to all except Dr. Deepak Mahajan. Dr. Mahajan took a few minutes to process what just happened right now. Just a few hours ago, he got to witness a whole new side of Karan, just a few minutes ago his daughter revealed that she loves the man whom he hates the most and now...one of his patients who is Karan's father as well, is asking his daughter's hand for his son. It felt as if the commando who has just got out of coma, dropped a bomb through his question on Dr. Mahajan. Everything happened so swiftly that it was difficult for Dr. Mahajan to process.

Ranjeet was about to say something when Dr. Mahajan interrupted him.

Dr. Mahajan (angrily) - What nonsense?! Ye koi mazaak chal raha hai yaha?

Sid (stunned) - UncleG, aap ye..ye kya keh rahe hain?

Not just Sid, but everyone was surprised by Dr. Mahajan's tone. Dr. Mahajan's tone was much harsh than ever before. He's a composed man who gets angry very rarely. His nose could be seen turning slight red in anger. Not paying any heed to Sid's question & ignoring his daughter's scared face, Dr. Mahajan took a few rageous steps towards Ranjeet and sarcastically joined his hands in front of him making the Shergills offended.

Dr. Mahajan (gritting his teeth) - Maaf kijiyega Mr. Shergill, magar main apni beti ka haath aapke bete ke saath mein to kabhi nahi dunga! Mujhe beti ghar par kuwari bithana manzoor hai lekin ek fauji se shaadi karvana nahi!

Few cruel words of Dr. Mahajan and Monami's heart broke into zillion pieces. All dreams of Karan & Monami came down crashing in a second listening to what Deepak said. A small world of their own, a happy family and a beautiful future together...that's what they only desired for, but this didn't go right with Dr. Mahajan. Definitely Deepak's insult towards commandos and the way he spoke to Ranjeet irked and angered the rest who were standing there, but they kept mum as its MoRan & Deepak's thing right now & their interference might make it more difficult.

Without caring about anyone's reaction or even respecting the person whom he's talking to, he turned furiously towards Monami. His words were enough to bring bitter tears to Monami's eyes. She knew the amount of hatred her father had for commandos, especially Karan. But somewhere in her heart, she still had ignited the hope that her father might accept Karan for her happiness. But the way Deepak behaved with Ranjeet was completely unexpected for everyone.

Tears were constantly streaming down Monami's cheek, and she was trying to control her hiccups in order to not to breakdown in the hospital itself. One tear from Monami's eye and a sting of pain occurred in Karan's heart. He shuts his eyes tightly in order to not to burst out on Dr. Mahajan as he's well aware that it'd only worsen the things. He took a few deep breaths and calmed down himself.

Monami (shocked) - Pa..papa, aap ye k..kya keh rahe hain?

Dr. Mahajan - Monami, I don't want to create any scene here. (Sarcastically) Our patients are all fine and can be discharged. Tum ghar chalo mere saath!

Dr. Mahajan held Monami's wrist and moved forward but Monami didn't budge from her place. Deepak turned back only to find Monami standing straight with a poker yet determined face. Her aura itself reflected how changed and determined she is.

Dr. Mahajan - Monami, I won't repeat. GHAR CHALO!

Monami thought that if she didn't take a stand for herself and her love now, then she won't be able to take any stand ever.

Nahi jeena tere baaju
Nahi jeena, nahi jeena
Nahi jeena tere baaju
Nahi jeena, nahi jeena

Monami - Sorry to break your heart papa, but main kahi nahi ja rahi hoon! I understand that discussing personal stuff in the hospital is not our thing. But mera aapke saath na jaana is professional. I'm a part of Parakram SAF & Karan is my chief instructor, so main uski permission ke bagair aapke saath nahi jaa sakti.

A proud smile lingered on Karan's face due to the courage with which she's keeping her opinion to her father. Also, he felt proud of his love which was successful in transforming a fumbling- tumbling Monami into a much stronger one.

Dr. Mahajan - Mujhe apni beti ko apne ghar le jaane ke liye kisi Special Agent ki permission ki zaroorat nahi hai!

Nahi jeena tere baaju
Nahi jeena, nahi jeena
Nahi jeena tere baaju
Nahi jeena, nahi jeena

Monami (looking straight in his eyes) - Papa, Ranjeet sir & Varsha ma'am humare patients hain. As far as I remember, doctors do not leave their patients like that. Also, Ranjeet sir & Varsha ma'am Karan ke parents hain...I need to go with them for some personal reasons! I hope you understand Dr. Mahajan!

Monami was about to turn towards the audience who've been watching the father-daughter duo from long. Before she could turn, Deepak held her by her elbow and made her stand aside in anger. While he stormed towards Karan & pulled him by his collar harshly making everyone surprised. This act again irked the rest, but they chose silence over any action.

Dr. Mahajan (yelling) - Kya fitoor bhara hai tumne meri beti ke dimaag mein? She was never like this before! She never answered me back!

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

Karan (calmy yet strongly) - Fitoor mere pyaar ka hai, 'sir' jo aaj aapki beti ne himmat karkar apna opinion rakha rather than following your words blindly.

Dr. Mahajan (angrily) - You...

Before Deepak could complete, Monami came forward and separated Karan from Deepak's hold. Monami was standing between Deepak and Karan as if she's shielding him from all the disgust and anger her father's eyes contain for Karan.

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

Monami - Papa, aapko mere senior cum boyfriend se iss tarah baat karne ka koi haq nahi hai. About our matter, hum shaam ko baat karenge because I have many other important things to do as well.

Monami's confident and strong baritone had Deepak completely shut. She turned softly towards Ranjeet & Varsha who were smiling looking at their soon to be daughter-in-law taking a stand for their son.

Monami - Sir, Ma'am, aap dono ko abhi discharge mil jaega but aapko fir bhi ek particular diet follow karni padegi along with medications. (Cutely) Main personally dhyaan rakhungi aapki diet or dawaiyon ka!

All chuckled on Monami's cute change of behavior and felt family-like as Monami wasn't shying to show her haq on them.

Monami - Sid, zara tu papa ko lekar ghar chala ja. You know jab blood pressure badha ho to drive karna isn't safe.

Sid nodded with a smirk and went and stood beside Dr. Mahajan who was throwing daggers at him through his eyes.

Barkha (smiling widely) - Monami, main aur Param pehle jaate hain. Hume kuchh special arrangements karni hain ghar mein!

Monami - Ji bhabhi! Faizi, zara tab-tak tum sir or ma'am ko parking tak le ja loge or reception se discharge papers bhi collect kar loge? Main wheelchairs mangvalu?

Faizi - Haan haan Monami, bilkul! Lekin tum aur Karan?

Monami - I wanna have an important conversation with him!

Monami nodded thankfully at Faizi and held Karan's wrist rightfully and took him out of the ward. She did it deliberately to show Dr. Mahajan the amount of authority she has on Karan. Also, she wanted to show him how changed she is. She isn't the previous Monami who accepted crying the whole night rather questioning her dad. Karan too smiled widely with the way she took him out and he didn't budge in following his sherni like a lost puppy.

Tu ki jaane pyaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri

Dr. Mahajan left the ward immediately as his ego was hurt badly and Sid went along with him. ParKha too left and VarJeet were now left behind as Faizi went to ask for the wheelchairs.

Ranjeet (sadly) - Dr. Sahab easily accept nahi karenge Karan ko.

Varsha (confidently) - Lekin mujhe apne bete aur uski choice par pura bharosa hai. Aasani se haar nahi maanenge dono!

Ranjeet - Pehle to ek hi ulti khopdi tha ghar mein, ab lagta hai ek aur aa jaegi!

Varsha and Ranjeet had a good laughter and by the time Faizi too came. He along with a nurse helped Varsha & Ranjeet in sitting on the wheelchairs and pushed the wheelchairs towards the parking lot.

Whereas Monami took Karan to her cabin and hugged him tight immediately. Karan could hear her sobs & could feel his t-shirt getting wet due to her tears. He was expecting such a breakdown and decided to comfort her with his love. She hid her face in the crook of his neck and her sobs grew louder. He was feeling shortage of words, so he started rubbing her back and patting her head slowly.

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Tu ki jaane pyaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri

Karan - Meri Rani Sahiba aise roti hui achhi lagti hai kya?

Monami (crying hard) - Pa..pa na..nahi maa..nenge!

Karan (softly) - Shhh...koi baat nahi, hum mana lenge. Pehle tum rona band karo, chalo!

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

After many efforts & cooing Monami like a baby, Karan was successful in calming down Monami and her sobs gradually stopped. But still the tears were present in her eyes which was completely unacceptable to Karan. He sighed sadly and wiped them off. He made her sit on her doctor's chair and made her drink some water, while he himself squatted on the ground.

Monami (almost on the verge of crying) - Ka..ran papa nahi ma..manenge!

Karan - Shh..chup! Main hoon na! Tum firse mat rona. Mona darling, I hate tears!

Mere dil ne chun laiya ne
Tere dil diyan rahaan
Tu jo mere naal tu rehnta
Turpe meriyaan saaha

And with this, Monami chuckled shyly making Karan too smile with contentment. He softly cupped Monami's face and placed a deep kiss on her forehead. She closed her eyes feeling his love & support through that kiss. Karan & Monami looked deeply into each other's eyes and joined their foreheads while several thoughts were lingering in their heads.

Monami (in mind) - Oh god! Papa nahi manenge kya?! Main aur Karan kahi alag...(Realizing) Nahi nahi! Main apne pyaar ke khatir har had paar karne ke liye taiyaar hoon! Duniya ki koi taakat Monami aur Karan ko juda nahi kar sakti!

Jeena mera haye
Hun hai tera, ki main karaan
Tu kar eitbaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri!

Karan (in mind) - Sirf Monami ke aansu hi hain jo main bardaash nahi kar sakta aur aaj Dr. Mahajan ki wajeh se Monami kitna royi hai. Main kuchh bhi nahi kar paaya, bus khade dekhta raha! Bhale hi maine Monami aur uske papa ke beech mein nahi bola because it was their matter. (Determinedly) Lekin aaj ke baad agar Dr. Mahajan ne Monami ko hurt kiya na, mujhe bhi nahi pata fir main kya karunga!

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

Wiping her tears off and composing herself, Monami moved a little bit away from Karan and took his hands in hers. Karan looked confusingly at her but didn't question.

Monami - Karan, promise me...

Karan - What?

Monami (emotionally) - Karan, promise me that no matter what hum kabhi alag nahi honge! Promise me ki chahe papa maane ya na maane humara pyaar ek dusre ke liye kabhi kam nahi hoga! Promise me ki humare beech koi teesra kabhi issues create nahi karega! Kar sakte ho ye vaada?!

Ve changa nahion keeta beeba,
Ve changa nahion keeta beeba
Dil mera tod ke
Ve bada pachtaiyaan akhaan,
Ve bada pachtaiyaan akhaan
Naal tere jod ke

Karan freed his hands from Monami's hold and instead, he held her hands in a secure grip and gave an assuring nod while blinking his eyes assuringly to sooth her insecurity. He knew that Dr. Mahajan's word would definitely affect Monami negatively. No matter how strong she stays in front of him, but his harsh words definitely affect her, he's her father after all!

Karan (looking straight in her eyes) - Rani Sahiba, chahe mushkilon ke kitni bhi tufaan kyu na aa jaye, chahe log hume todne ki ya hume alag karne ki kitni bhi koshish kyu na kare, chahe koi humare pyaar ko accept kare ya na kare...aapka Khadoos Shergill chattan (rock) bankar humesha aapko protect karega! Aapka ye Khadoos Shergill aap se humesha be-intehaa mohabbat karega aur kisi teesre ko humare beech nahi aane dega! Mujhe tumhari kasam!

Tenu chadd ke kitthe jawaan tu mera parchanwa
Tere mukhde vich hi main taan
Rabb nu apni pawaan

A layer of tears of happiness and pride formed in Monami's eyes, along with a wide toothsy smile. She felt proud on her choice & how well Karan understands her.

Monami (pouting) - Itna pyaar karte ho mujhse? Kabhi chhodkar nahi jaoge na??

Karan - Duniya jahaan se zyada pyaar karte hain hum aapse, madam! Aapke pyaar ke liye to puri duniya se lad jau, to ye Dr. Mahajan kya cheez hain. Main tumhare papa ko kisi bhi haal mein manakar hi rahunga, bus tum chinta mat karna! Aur agar aapko chhod diya to bhala hum zinda kaise rahenge hum?!

Meri duya haye, sajda tera, karti sada
Tu sun ekraar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil, tunhion jaan meri

Monami chuckled and nodded as a few tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks as well. Karan too smiled looking at his love's smiling face. Not being able to wait any further & control her emotions, Monami literally jumped on Karan making him stumble back a little, but he was quick to engulf Monami in his arms. Their hug was getting tighter and closer due to the insecurity and fear they had because of the recent incident. But their love conquered all! The amount of love they have for each other is enough to dodge any obstacle.

Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee...
