“Come on Sanjana, it’s my birthday, and it is just a one-day outing. Convince your grandparents. Try to understand dear you are getting married in some months .please enjoy your remaining days in Dehradun with your friends. “

Kritika started in a pleading tone,Kritika and Sunita were the only friends of Sanjana. As they belong to well-to-do families, Sanjana’s grandparents have no problem. Although Kritika and Sunita’s families were not as conservative like chauhans.

Still, these three friends get along well. 

Three days before Sanjana’s engagement, kritika has planned to celebrate her birthday in some resort as a full day outing,the other friends has no issues with that but Sanjana wants to be there, but her grandparents will never allow her to go .sanjana was always accompanied with her Nani to attend even friends birthday . So this outing going alone with friends is out of the question .The present argument was going about that only ,Sanjana was trying to explain her situation to her friends.

“You know na Nanaji will never allow this, for once Nani will agree, but the other family members will make a big issue out of it.”

“agree,Why don’t you give your party at your place or some nearby restaurant in the city? Jungle Mein mangal Karna jaroori hai kya “Sunita suggested after seeing Sanjana’s state. (it’s a Hindi quote referring to do fun in the forest )

“Oh, come on, it’s my birthday after all, and I have invited only close friends. There are about only 15 girls. Trust me, it will be a memorable outing for us “

“Ok, I am not sure, but I will request my Nanaji. Let’s hope for the best.” Sanjana replied hopefully. 

Kritika and Sunita bunked the last lectures and went shopping. They wanted some warm clothes and some new pairs of jeans and tops for the trip. They tag sanjana with them as her habit was denied first, but kritika didn’t listen to her excuses and assure her they will return to college before her driver uncle‘s arrival.

After reaching the mall, Sanjana was looking at the western clothes in awe , how much she wanted a life in which she can wear whatever she likes with no restrictions, but she knew it was not in her fate.

    She expected nothing from the Batra family, too. After all, they are her in-laws. It was more than enough that they were ready for her further education. As she wanted to be an independent woman in life. 

Kritika and Sunita bought jeans and tops, but Sanjana chose a suit from a boutique.. Her Nani always deposits some pocket money in her account and she used to carry the card as her Nani requested her to.

 Kritika and Sunita smiled at their naïve friend 

They both really wanted Sanjana to come for the trip as before getting married, she should have at least some fun in her boring life.

As the time was passing by, sanjana panicked so kritika and Sunita wind up her leftover shopping and leave for their college 

They make it on time as Sanjana’s driver uncle just reached there. 

   At Chauhan villa, the same evening.

It was the evening time when Dhani Chauhan was having her evening tea sitting on the lawn of her house. She was making her list of the arrangements for the upcoming engagement. 

    Nandini was sitting beside her, helping her in the arrangements after she had the habit of acting like a perfect daughter-in-law .She was showing her fake excitement about Sanjana’s engagement.

   Any addition to expenses makes Nandini more worried about the expenses her in-laws were doing on Sanjana's engagement and after this the wedding is still left . Nandini talks to Narendra about this as she cannot allow her in-laws to waste the money like this that to on that girl
