Rhama comes back home and meets Rheka and Ranveer in the living room.
Rheka asks how the haldi ceremony with Abhay went.
Rheka continues talking because she wants Ranveer to be even more upset than he already is. She says Rhama should let Lisa know about the indian rituals and customs since she’s a foreigner.
Ranveer walks up to Rhama and Rheka in anger. He gives them a serious look, then he turns away.
Rheka is left wondering what he has on his mind.


Udey thanks Rheka for making Rhama go to the hotel to perform Abhay's haldi ceremony.
She says she will do what she needs to do, to ensure that Abhay and Lisa come home since that’s what Udey wants.


Rhama meets Ranveer in the room and tells him she went to perform the haldi ceremony without informing him. She looks contrite
Ranveer surprises her by saying she's not at fault because he knows she was made to do it.
He hugs her and she asks if he's happy with both weddings happening on the same day.
Ranveer turns to walk away and she begs him not to do anything drastic
He says he won't but Rheka is trying to have her way by any means necessary and he won’t fall for it.

Rheka looks suspicious.
Grandfather says they should start the preparations.

Rheka is uncomfortable because she expected Ranveer to have backed out of the entire arrangement but he is even making more plans.


Jatan tells his family that they have been invited for the henna ceremony.
Govind, his brother, says they won't go to the house for the henna ceremony; Lumita will only go for her wedding on the day of the wedding because it is not part of their custome to go to the in-laws before the wedding.
Jatan tells him that Lumita is marrying into a prominent family and that is how things are done in the city.
Govind tells him to cancel the invite.
Jatan says nobody cares about it in the city.
Their sister, Hadeed, concurs with what Jatan is saying.
They manage to convince Govind in the end.

He brings up Abhay’s name but Ranveer gives him a warning look.
Banwari asks if he has planned anything for Abhay.
Ranveer tells him not to worry about that.
Rheka is eavesdropping on their conversation. She is wondering why Ranveer has not even told Banwari of his plans.

Rheka is watching.

Lisa tries to touch her feet but Rheka says there's no need, she just wants a hug.
Abhay thanks Rheka for all her help.
Rheka says the family wants them home.
She says Rhama forgot to tell them about the henna ceremony so Lisa should be there.
She tells Abhay that it is his chance to apologise to his father.
Abhay says they will be there.
Rheka says goodbye and leaves.
