As Vivek looks towards the door, his eyes widen in shock. 😳
At the door stands Vinita, who has overheard everything he just said.
Vinita steps inside, shuts the door, and walks up to Vivek with a stern expression.
😠 Vinita: "What are you hiding, Vivek?"
Vivek: "Nothing, Di. Why are you asking this?"
Vinita: "Don't lie to me. I heard everything. That Juhi... she's Sri's sister, isn't she?"
Vivek lowers his head and nods in agreement.
Vinita: "What were you talking about with Juhi?"
Vivek: "Di, Juhi and I love each other."
😳 Vinita: "Have you lost your mind? Do you even realize what you're saying? Your wedding to Sri is the day after tomorrow! And you're saying you love Juhi?"
Vivek: "I don't want to marry Sri, Di. I love Juhi, and she loves me too. How can I keep Sri happy if I don't love her?"
Vinita: "Then why didn't you tell Mom and Dad about this?"
Vivek: "I did, Di, but Dad refused to listen. 😔 Now, you tell me what I should do. On one hand, there's this wedding; if I refuse, it will disgrace both families. On the other hand, there's Juhi, threatening to end her life if I marry Sri."
Vinita whispers to herself: "Uncle is doing the same thing again. 🥺 First, he ruined my life, and now he's after my brother."
Vivek: "What are you saying, Di?"
Vinita: "I'm telling the truth. When they were planning my marriage with Rahul, I told them I didn't want to marry an orphan, but they didn't listen to me. They forced me to marry Rahul. And now they're doing the same with you."
Vinita: "If you don't want to marry Sri, no one can force you. You love Juhi, and you will marry Juhi. Don't worry; even if no one stands with you, I will."
Vivek's face lights up as he hugs Vinita tightly. "Thank you, Di! Thank you so much! You don't know how much you've helped me. I was completely stuck in this mess, but now that you're here, I'm not afraid anymore."
Vinita: "Save the celebrations for later. First, call Juhi. If we want to resolve this, we need a solid plan."

Meanwhile, Juhi is casually applying nail polish when her phone rings. Seeing Vivek's name, she sighs in disappointment. "Why is he calling again? I just spoke to him. Do I really have to put on another emotional drama for him? 😠"
She picks up the call. "Hello, Vivek."
Vivek: "Juhi, we don't need to worry anymore. Di is on our side. She's going to help us get together."
Juhi: "Are you serious? Is your sister really going to help us?"
Vinita takes the phone. "Yes, Juhi. You and Vivek don't need to worry anymore. I'll make sure you both are together. But you have to do exactly as I say."
Juhi: "Thank you, Di. You have no idea how much this means to us. I'll do everything you tell me to."

The wedding day arrives. A mix of nervousness and anxiety clouds Sri's mind.
The mehendi ceremony took place last night, and her best friend Priya stayed over, too exhausted to go home. Now, she's asleep on Sri's bed.
Sri stands by the window, lost in thought about her future. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in her life. How will it turn out? Good or bad, right or wrong? She has no idea, but at least her uncle is happy.
Suddenly, Juhi enters the room and tosses a bag onto the bed.
Juhi: "Your wedding outfit has arrived from Vivek's house. You're supposed to wear this today."
Sri looks at Juhi, who stands there with an air of arrogance.
Sri: "Juhi, just for today, can you treat me like a sister? Because from tomorrow, I won't be here anymore. Can't you talk to me kindly, like a sister or a friend, just for today?"
Juhi: "😏 Who knows what will happen tomorrow? How can you be so sure you'll even leave this house? Maybe you won't go anywhere at all."
Priya (waking up): "You may have a pretty face, but your words are always so bitter. 😏🤨"
Juhi (annoyed): "Just because you're a cop's daughter doesn't mean you can talk to me like this. You're being disrespectful in my house!"
Priya: "First of all, this isn't your house; it's my friend Sri's house. After her parents passed away, your family moved in here. And for the record, once Sri gets married, I swear I won't ever step foot in this house again."
Sri grabs Priya's hand. "Priya, calm down. She's just a kid and didn't mean it."
Priya: "Kid? Where do you see a kid here? 🤨 She should've been married before you. If she were, she'd probably have a kid by now. 😛"
Juhi: "Don't worry; I'll get married before Sri anyway." She storms out, stomping her feet in frustration.

Meanwhile, Rahul is worried about Vivek's disappearance. Despite the preparations, the groom is nowhere to be found, leaving everyone on edge. As tensions rise, the family begins to suspect something is amiss.
Finally, the wedding venue echoes with a bold declaration:
"There will be no wedding here."
Everyone turns toward the door, shocked. 😳
Standing there are Vivek and Juhi.
