Arjun - It's not like you think Anitha

Anitha- Don't try to control your feelings.I can see your eyes are becoming red .

( Arjun who couldn't control his tears anymore, hugged her and started crying)

Arjun - What will I do now Anitha? Even now she asked whether I am happy with her marriage. Before telling that I am not happy I asked her what if I say no. She said she'll not marry that person. I asked why? She said that she trusts me because I am her close friend.

Yes Anitha , if she tells that she likes me I would have confessed her. But she told me that I am her close friend. She asked my opinion out of trust and friend's responsibility.

(Poorva and Anand were hearing their conversation all these while)

Poorva - I'll ask Rani, what she thinks about and ask her Will she marry you?

Arjun - No amma, Don't do that .I will get hurt if she rejects and She'll feel guilt on seeing me hurt. She may marry me out of sympathy. I don't want a marriage which is out of sympathy. And you know what, she loved a person when she was 11-12 . she loved him secretly. But she stopped loving him from college as he loves another girl. With that I confirmed that she considers me her close friend.

Poorva -What if that person was you?

Arjun - Not a chance amma, we got separated when we were 10. and we met 8 yrs later.

Poorva - shall I check with her once?

Arjun - No. amma, Anitha ,appa promise me that you'll not ask about this to her or her chinamma.

Poorva - We'll promise you.But we have one condition

Arjun - What?

Poorva - You should get Married. Yours and Rani marriage will happen at the same date and in same hall.

Arjun - Amma, please stop. I am not going to marry anyone.

Poorva - You don't have choice. We'll give a day time. Tell me if you want to marry someone or I'll ask Rani will she marry you.

Arjun - Amma stop blackmailing. Ok I 'll think and let you know, but promise me that you'll not ask Aaradhana .

Poorva (with smile)- I promise you.

Arjun in room

(Poorva words What if the person is you .echoed his mind)

Arjun- what if the person Aaradhana loved is me ? No..What if she considers me only as a friend... Oh God tell me what should I do now....I have to check.

( Next day in Office)

Rupali - Hi Arjun, the meeting went well. YZU Chairman signed the contract .'Uraa Indian spices ' will be opened in London within 6 months. YZU chairman also said the name will not be changed. It will be "Uraa Indian Spices". He said that he liked the name "Uraa".He told that the name seemed to be special. Tell me What so special about the name?

(Arjun face reveals that he was caught by YZU' Chairman)

Rupali - What's wrong Arjun ? Is something special about the name 'Uraa'.

Arjun ( Knowing she doesn't note it got relieved )- Nothing.I just found it fancy.

Rupali - Oh..

(Arjun thinks How did he find out?)

Rupali - Arjun..?

(No response)

Rupali - Arjun !!!!!

(Rupali claps her hand in front of Arjun ear.)

Rupali (shouts)- Arjun....

Arjun - Ehhhhhhhhh. Why are you shouting in my ear?

( Aaradhana enters and greeted him)

(Arjun lowers his face down and clears throat)

Arjun- Mmhmm. Good Morning Aaradhana. What's the schedule for the day?

(Arjun eyes Rupali)

Arjun - Do you have anything to say?

Rupali - No Arjun .

( Rupali leaves the room. Aaradhana continues reading his scedhule)

Arjun - Hey Aaradhana. Leave that. I have to ask you something.

Aaradhana- Tell me Sir..

Arjun - ssssszzzz. Call me 'Arjun'. We are alone.

Aaradhana - Oh...Kay...Tell me Arjun

Arjun - What do you think about Rupali?

Aaradhana - What??

Arjun- You are my best friend right?

Aaradhana - Yes

Arjun - Like you asked my opinion for my marriage.I also like to ask your opinion for my marriage .Got it?

Aaradhana - Got it.

Arjun - Now Tell me , What you think about Rupali? Will she be perfect for me? you have to tell Yes or No with reason.

Aaradhana(innervoice 1) - Aaradhana, He's asking your opinion for his marriage. Tell no. Tell him that you love him.

Aaradhana (Innervoice 2) - Tell Rupali is perfect for him. You can't be his friend if he rejects your proposal. So tell Rupali is perfect for him

Aaradhana ( hesitantly) - Yes , she's perfect for you..

Arjun- Why are you hesitant? If you say no then I'll not marry her. Now Tell me, Yes or no?

(Getting no reply)

Are you not happy with my marriage?

Aaradhana- Yes.

Arjun( with hope.smiled lightly) - What?

Aaradhana (realizes what she said) - Arjun don't mistake me. Rupali loves you from high school, so she will try to make you happy.She is perfect match for you

Arjun( getting disappointed) -Ok. So will you be happy,if I marry her?

Aaradhana - I am happy if you are happy.

(Rupali who was hearing their conversation.came inside and hugged Aaradhana)

Rupali - Thank you so much Aaradhana. sorry for misunderstanding you all these days. Now I got to know about your friendship with Arjun.

Arjun(with evil smile)- Yes Rupali, so will you marry me?

Rupali - Ofcourse Arjun.

(Rupali hugs Arjun)

Arjun (with evil voice)- Rupali, You know something, Aaradhana is also going to get married. My amma told our marriage and Aaradhana marriage will be held at same place and at same it. But I want our marriage to happen first. Then we can share our responsibility in Aaradhana marriage. We should atleast repay her help in this way.

Rupali- Ofcourse Arjun. Don't worry, Aaradhana marriage will be unforgettable marriage in our family. Sorry... can I call "our family " as we are going to get married.

(Arjun looks at Aaradhana for her approval with evil smile and raising his eyebrows. Aaradhana smiles back with difficult and shakes her head as 'yes')

Arjun - Ofcourse Rupali. Aaradhana, though I am son of my father and mother,then listen to you. So you should convince them that my marriage will happen before yours. Will you do that "Rani"?

Rupali gets shocked.As in Uma akka mehendi Poorva said to write letter 'R' in Arjun hand.So 'R' refers to 'Rani' and not 'Rupali'.She then thinks every thing will be normal when Arjun marries her.

Aaradhana (hesitantly) - Yes Arjun.I'll convince them.

Arjun - And One more thing.Promise me that you will take responsibility for my wedding.

Aaradhana (with hesitant voice) - Sure Arjun.

(she gets chinamma call )

Arjun ,I'll attend this call.

Arjun - Ofcourse Aaradhana. Tell her that I 'll pick you and her in evening.Inform your fiance also . I'll announce my marriage in front of all.

(Arjun seeing Rupali)

Is that fine Rupali?Or am I going too fast? Because if we delay our wedding Aaradhana wedding will also be delayed.I don't want her wedding to be delayed.

Rupali - Sure Arjun.I'll tell this to my parents.I am sure they'll be happy.

(Arjun Smiles at Rupali)

(Aaradhana leaves the room)
