Anjali entering the room informs Preeta has arrived, he replies he knows advising her to be ready for tonight as even if tomorrow the sun shines still the mark of this night would not be left from them, she must wait for it so Anjali rushes away when he calls someone advising them to arrive by nine thirty.
The Luthra’s reach the venue when they all enter but Preeta is really tensed and is still walking while the rest of them are really happy but the light suddenly go off so they wonder if it is because of a faulty fuse however Anjali comes on the stage with the dance performance, seeing which everyone starts enjoying but Preeta suddenly notices Arjun walking down the stairs, she feels as if he is Karan and even informs Rishab but Arjun walks over with Anjali to Preeta, she is constantly staring at him and even he is looking back to her, she remembers how she would look to karan so feels uncomfortable and even gets tears in her eyes. Anjali ends her performance with the clapping from the guests.

Rakhi is waiting for karan and when he arrives, she starts performing his arti, so he hugs Rakhi. Dadi says he told her about his arrival but Rakhi replied her heart told her that karan is about to arrive and she can feel him, Preeta asked him if he was coming tomorrow. So Karan revealed he really likes surprises and the smile on his mother’s face.
Rakhi exclaims even today she is feeling as if her karan is about to arrive and so she rushes into the party calling the name of karan, he also opens his arms but she walks away from him to the other side towards the door waiting for her son, Karan thinks her son has returned and is standing in front of him, Rakhi starts crying and turns away depressed, he also wipes of tears from his face.

She mentions she gave the blessings with full heart seeing which Mahesh is smiling and then thanks arjun who exclaims he also wants to take the blessings from him so even Mahesh gives him the blessings. Karan is not able to bear it so takes an excuse, thinking that Preeta has snatched everything from him so he is also going to take everything from her.
