Scene: Jadon Haveli – Udaipur

Ganga (calling out):
“Samyukta! Beta, come downstairs!”

Samyukta (in her room, frustrated):
“Coming, Maasa! Just a minute!”
(searching drawers, muttering)
“Where the hell are those earrings? Ugh, Sam, you had one job! Seriously... you're hopeless sometimes.”

(she groans, gives up)
“Forget it. I’ll deal with it later. She’s gonna kill me if I take any longer.”

Scene: The Hall

Samyukta (hurrying down):
“Yes, Maasa? You called?”

Ganga:
“Haan, beta. We have a very important guest coming today. I need you to handle lunch prep.”

Samyukta (confused, hesitant):
“Me? Maasa, I’ve got some work to finish. Can’t Choti Ma take care of it?”

Ganga (gently but firmly):
“She’s not home, beta. And this isn’t just any guest—it’s Ratan Singh Rajvansh. You know, the Maharaj of Rajasthan. He’s coming with his son.”

Samyukta (wide-eyed):
“Wait—the Ratan Singh Rajvansh?”

Ganga:
“Yes. So no excuses. Please head to the kitchen. I’ll handle the rest.”

Samyukta (resigned):
“Okay, okay… going now.”

Later That Evening – Jadon Haveli

The haveli buzzes with quiet anticipation. At exactly 11 PM, two luxury cars roll into the courtyard. Ratan Singh Rajvansh steps out, regal in every sense. With him is Pratap Singh, his younger brother.

Ratan (smiling warmly):
“Mahendra! It’s been far too long.”

Mahendra (hugging him):
“Too long indeed, Ratan. The last time we met was at Gayatri’s wedding! You've become a big man now, hard to get hold of.”

Ratan (chuckling):
“Maybe. But today, I’ve come with a reason that’ll bring us even closer.”

Mahendra (raising an eyebrow):
“Oh? What’s cooking in that royal head of yours?”

Ratan (grinning):
“Let’s talk in the garden.”

Scene: Garden – Night

Ratan (serious now):
“Mahendra, this isn’t just a social visit. I’m here with a proposal. I want your granddaughter Samyukta to marry my grandson, Ekansh.”

Mahendra (blinking in disbelief):
“Samyukta? With Ekansh Rajvansh?”

Ratan (nodding):
“Yes. We believe she’s the right one for our family.”

Mahendra (still stunned):
“You’re serious?”

Ratan:
“I don’t make such decisions lightly. I’ve seen her values, her grace. She fits the Rajvansh legacy.”

Mahendra (softly):
“But… does Ekansh know?”

Ratan:
“He doesn’t need to. When I make a decision for this family, it stands.”

Mahendra (smiling slowly):
“She won’t go against my word either. You have my yes.”

Scene: Dining Hall – A Little Later

Ratan (looking around):
“Where’s Samyukta?”

Mahendra:
“She’s just finishing up in the kitchen.”

(Samyukta walks in, carrying a tray, slightly flushed from the heat and nerves)

Samyukta:
“Namaste, Bade Hukum.”

Ratan (smiling gently):
“No need for formalities, beta. Just call me Dada Sa.”

Samyukta (a little shyly):
“Okay… Dada Sa.”

(She begins serving food, hands slightly trembling under the scrutiny.)

Mahendra:
“Samyukta, sit. Eat with us.”

Samyukta:
“Ji…”

(They begin eating. Samyukta tries to avoid eye contact. Then suddenly—)

Mahendra (casually):
“Beta, I’ve been thinking. We’ve found a suitable match for you.”

(Samyukta freezes mid-bite, coughs in surprise.)

Mahendra (chuckling):
“Relax, take a sip of water.”

Samyukta:
“So… who is it?”

Mahendra:
“What matters is—do you trust me to make the right choice for you?”

Samyukta (quietly):
“Of course, Dada Sa. If you think he’s right, I’ll say yes.”

Ratan (smiling, pleased):
“Well said, beta.”

Samyukta (confused):
“Wait… who is it though?”

Mahendra (grinning):
“Maharaj Ekansh Pratap Singh Rajvansh.”

(Samyukta almost drops the glass in her hand.)

Next Day – Paris, After Deal Closure

Aditya (grinning ear to ear):
“Bhai Sa, the deal’s done! That calls for a party, right?”

Karthik:
“Yes, let’s celebrate properly this time. We earned it!”

Aditya & Karthik (in sync):
“Party! Party!”

Ekansh (flatly):
“You two are not ten. No party.”

Aditya:
“Come on, Bhai Sa… just this once!”

Ekansh:
“We’re flying home in a few hours. Start packing.”

Karthik (surprised):
“Now? Why the rush?”

Ekansh (seriously):
“Dada Sa wants us back immediately after the meeting. Something’s up.”

Scene: Rajvansh Palace – Jodhpur

The entire family is gathered in the grand hall.

Ratan (addressing everyone):
“I’ve called you here because I have important news to share.”

Meera:
“What’s going on, Dada Sa?”

Ratan:
“Ekansh is getting married.”

(Gasps around the room)

Saanvi:
“Wait—Bhai Sa agreed to that?”

Shiv:
“Did someone blackmail him?”

Bhavaya (Ekansh’s mother):
“Ratanji… are you sure?”

Devyani (grandmother):
“And who is the girl?”

Gayatri:
“What about Shivani?”

Ratan (firmly):
“Quiet, all of you. The decision is made. It’s Mahendra’s granddaughter—Samyukta.”

(Everyone goes quiet again.)

Devyani (softly):
“Mahendra Jadon? From Udaipur?”

Ratan:
“Yes. And Ekansh doesn’t know yet. No one is to tell him until I do.”

Meera:
“Well, surprise or shock, this is going to be interesting.”

Shiv (grinning):
“Let’s just welcome our new Bhabhi Maa properly. Before she figures out Bhai Sa’s temper.”

Saanvi:
“True. Poor girl doesn't know what she’s signing up for.”

(They all laugh, except Gayatri, whose face remains unreadable.)
