Meena went out... keeping her jewels & dress to wear ready...
Roli: Siddhant.. where are you yaar.. only few more minutes left to get ready...
She started getting ready without any interest...
She was wondering where Siddhant will be.. and what is he going to do...
But she was confident that he will do something for sure...
In that confidence.. Roli got ready & looked at herself in the mirror...
Roli: Siddhant... with the hope that you will do something in my engagement.. i got ready.. if you dont come.. i am sure to stop myself or do something.. ok...
She told herself...

Meena: You got ready.. come.. lets go...

While Roli was not at all interested... She was wondering what is going to happen...
Engament was arranged in a hall like place in that village itself...
Its walkable from Roli house and all went to that hall with Roli...
When Roli was about to enter...
All from Veeru side came to give warm welcome to Roli & family...
Roli was unable to understand.. how to react...
When Roli was showing a confused face...
'My friend.. give this flower and welcome the bride...'
Roli swiftly lift her face knowing its Siddhant voice...
He was standing with a bouquet and forward it to Veeru...
Roli was thinking.. Siddhant.. with him as friend...
And he is telling to welcome me...
Whats happening...
Siddhant expressed to be relaxed...
Veeru took the bouquet and gave it to Roli...
Roli accept it with a smile...
Veeru was not on the floor seeing beautiful Roli & that too with a smile...
Roli went inside with others towards the stage...
As they were already getting late... Meena took her to the stage to start engagement...
Veeru too came to stage with his relatives & Siddhant too...
Roli was thinking.. he is coming as friend of him instead of stopping the marriage...
Does this mean... engagement going to happen with this guy...
Jamanlal: Exchange rings...
Roli looked at Siddhant... While Siddhant expressed to be relax...
How she can be relaxed.. she was wondering...
Veeru open the box of ring and took the ring which he bought for Roli...
He took out the ring and forward his hand...
Roli again looked at Siddhant...
Siddhant expressed to proceed...
Roli with anger filled look at Siddhant forward his hand...
While Veeru tried to put the ring... it was not getting into her ring finger...
Krishna: Veeru.. you buy this ring taking her size only right...
Veeru: Yes pappa.. i did purchase with her size only...
Krishna: Then how come the ring is not going inside...
Veeru: That is what i am also wondering...
Roli looked at Siddhant while Siddhant gave a mischief smile...
Roli knows its because of Siddhant...
Jamanlal: Its ok.. you put on the little finger... what can be done now...
Veeru put the ring on her little finger... but it was little loose on her little finger...
Then he open the box of his ring... and forwarded towards Roli...
Roli took out that ring and looked at Siddhant...
On seeing him smiling.. Roli knows he did something on that too...
Roli forward her hand with the ring...
Veeru forward his hand... WHile again the ring was not going inside his ring finger...

Veeru: No pappa.. actually i purchased putting it in my hand...
Krishna: Then how come both ring are small...
Veeru: Thats what i am confused pappa... there is no chance for my own ring to become smaller...
Jamanlal: No problem ROli.. put it on his little finger...
Roli put the ring on his little finger...
Jamanlal: What matters if the ring is put in ring finger or little finger... Rings exchanged and engagement complete.. anyway 10 more days for their marriage...
Krishna: Thats right...
All started to talk between them and few went to have food...
Veeru: Roli.. you know i purchased some items for you...
Veeru looked at Siddhant... while Siddhant gave the cover to Veeru...
Veeru gave it to Roli while Roli was looking at Siddhant...

Roli: Siddhant.. we did our engagement secretly.. what are we going to do further...
Siddhant; Lets think and do something Roli.. i will take care dont worry..

Siddhant; Let me move out of this room...
When Siddhant tried to open the door.. Roli hold his hand...

She showed her mom her ring so that she look down her fingers...
Meena: How come it went Roli...
Roli: I slowly tried and did it...

Roli: Dont worry mom... my engagement happened with whom it should happen...
Meena: Roli.. what do you mean...
Roli: Nothing mom.. now ring is put right.. just leave it...
When they were talking all these Siddhant came out of the room with the plate which he bring with food and rushed towards the dining to return the plate...

While talking to Roli.. she did look at the place the person was going...
Meena: Roli.. you relax in the room.. i will come soon...
Meena went from there with a smile towrads the place Siddhant went...
She noticed Siddhant giving the plate to catering people...
Siddhant; Thanks...
Meena tried to remember who is this came from Roli room...
Then she remembered he was standing with Veeru in the stage...
Also he was the one who bring the bouquet...
Meena was wondering who is this??? how he is related to Veeru...
Why he was coming from Roli room...
What does this means...
So many puzzle were going inside her mind...
She was thinking whether to ask Roli about this...
But no.. she didn't think it as wise idea as she may tell some lie or try to hide the truth...
Meena decided to find our on her own...
At that time.. Veeru came in search of Siddhant...
Veeru: oh friend where you went.. i didn't see you for sometime...
Siddhant; I was here only...
Veeru: I am tensed bro...
Siddhant: Why what happened???
Veeru: I gave those gifts..but not sure whether Roli like it...
Siddhant; Surely Delhi girls like those like gifts only.. i am telling for sure being myself residing in Delhi...
Veeru: Thats why i purchased all those told by you and gave her.. hope she likes...
Siddhant; She will.. dont worry.. just relax...
Siddhant & Veeru were talking on those gifts and moved from there...
Meena was shocked to know he is from Delhi...
And he become friend with Veeru...
What is happening???
Meena was puzzled...
Part 40Roli wake up early in the morning...
She wanted to meet Siddhant before others come out to go here & there...
Roli message to Siddhant to come to the place where she meet him in the field...
Roli arranged the pillows like earlier...
Then started from home...
When she opened the back door... Meena heard the sound and came out of her room...
She went near the back door and found someone going somewhere secretly...
But she doubt it is Roli...
To confirm she went to Roli room & tried to check and found like someone sleeping...
Still she got doubt and went near and found only pillows arranged...
Now its confirmed as Roli who was going secretly...
Meena rushed to know the truth on the way Roli was going..
After going some distance... She did found Roli going towards the field...
Meena was wondering why Roli is going to field in this early morning time...
When she followed further.. Meena was shocked...
Yes Siddhant was waiting for Roli while Roli rushed towards him as soon as seeing him...
Roli lean on his shoulder and hug him tightly while Siddhant too hug her tightly...
Meena now got everything confirmed... as she doubt... there is some connection between these two...
Meena rushed towards them...
Meena: Roli...
Roli as well as Siddhant were shocked on the call and turned towards the direction of voice...
On seeing Meena there.. both were shocked...
Roli: Mom..
Roli & Siddhant looked at each other without knowing how to react...
They swiftly moved away from each other...
Meena: Roli.. what is this...
Roli: Mom.. i am sorry mom... This is Siddhant.. he is my lover...
Meena: Roli.. what are you talking??? you know right your marriage got fixed in your childhood itself...
Roli: But mom... i am not interested in this marriage mom.. please understand me...
Meena: Then why you were hiding all these days.. since how long this is happening...
Roli; Mom.. we just meet during this trip... and as soon as we return.. we came here.. thats why unable to tell anything there...
Meena; Roli.. do you think your father will accept for this...
Roli: I Know mom.. he wont accept easily.. but in the same way.. how can i live with someone i dont love...
Meena: Roli.. that you are telling after getting even engagement with him and next week is your marriage...
Roli: No mom.. engagement happened between us... this ring is put by Siddhant only yesterday...
Meena: What??? Roli.. i really cant understand what to tell you...
Siddhant: Sorry Aunty to interfere between you both talks.. but myself as well as Roli were not knowing each other few days back.. in the trip when we fall in love with each other.. as i am the dream man of Roli.. She was loving me inside her heart...
Meena: Roli??? what is this new story???
Roli: he is right mom.. i was getting dream of a man who i love a lot.. and its Siddhant which i found during the trip...
Meena: I really cant understand what to tell...
Siddhant; AUnty... you please keep yourself in Roli place.. how she can marry someone she dont love at all just because her marriage got fixed when she was just born.. till date she didn't see that person or know about him... If Roli marries such person for family sake.. can she live happily...
Meena got no reply...
Roli: Yes mom.. i dont know anything about that guy.. i am not even interested to look at him.. then how can i live with him getting married...
Meena: But Roli.. arranged marriage happens in that way only.. i mean elders arrange the marriage and it happens...
Siddhant: Aunty.. even in such arranged marriages.. now a days both are allowed to talk to each other.. try to understand and decide whether they suit for their life.. then only they give their acceptance to their parents.. am i wrong???
Meena: I agree...
Siddhant; Aunty.. i am not some playboy for you to worry in giving Roli.. i am the only son of Rajender & Sujatha bharatwaj... Only heir of Bharatwaj industries... my parents are already ok with this and they are ready to accept our marriage.. our only consent is from your side...
Meena: If you both decided and love so much why you both came here for all these arrangements.. you both might have decided something there itself as per your wish...
Siddhant; No aunty.. that is not our intention... we might have done it if we dont care for our family.. but we dont think so.. we wish to join hands with blessings of all the elders... i know Roli is your only daughter.. how many dreams you might have got about her marriage and life.. we dont want to spoil everything and elope.. instead wish to live happily in front of you all with all your blessings...
Meena got tears of happiness...
Meena: I am proud of you.. and now i realised.. my daughter didn't took a wrong decision... by selecting you...
Roli & Siddhant got breathe of relief...
Roli & Siddhant swiftly touch Meena feet and took her blessings...
Meena: I wish you both get your love success and live happily...
She gave her blessings...
Meena: Now you got plans to come back or not ROli..
Roli: Yes coming mom...
Meena & Roli started walking from there... while Roli was turning towards Siddhant again & again...
Meena noticed that & chuckled...
Meena: Roli.. Go and be with him for sometime... but come back soon before someone else see you...
Roli: Mom...
Meena: I am sorry.. you both came to spend time together and i spoiled coming here...
Roli: Its ok mom...
Meena: Go.. i will handle at home.. but not for so long...
Roli: Thanks mom...
Roli turned towards Siddhant and took couple of steps...
Meena: Roli...
