Harsh owns a small business in his sleepy village of Shikarpur and has recently been married to Dipika. It was an arranged marriage and they are trying to find comfort in each other's zone. Dipika is a big-city girl and this movement to a rural village was a difficult choice for her. Harsh is always busy with his work and usually reaches late to home. Dipika is not happy with how this relationship is shaping ahead as she feels that Harsh lives in his own world and is not putting enough efforts to make her comfortable. In fact she has decided that she is going to speak this up to Harsh today once he is back from work. 

Harsh rings the door bell, Dipika opens the door and as usual welcomes him and asks to come to the dining table for dinner. She has been mustering courage to speak to him today about divorce. Suddenly Harsh remembers that today is the 1st month anniversary of their marriage. He tells Dipika that he will quickly go out and come back as he forgot to take some documents from office. In fact he was planning to buy a gift and chocolate box for their 30-day marriage completion celebration. 

After some time, Harsh rings the door bell. Dipika opens the door and Harsh hands over the gift and chocolate to her. Dipika is puzzled as she was expecting to share separation news while Harsh is behaving the other way round. Harsh feels that she is not happy with the gift and asks her if something was wrong. Dipika starts sobbing and suddenly the door bell rings. Harsh tells Dipika to open the door.


Dipika opens the door and is amazed to find Harsh at the door with same chocolate box and gift. She gets frightened and runs back to dining room to see that no one is there. She returns back to door and welcome Harsh inside. As Harsh begins to gift her she understands that it will spoil her chance of making the first move and discussing on her agenda of divorce. So she stops Harsh from saying anything and tells him that she wants a divorce. Harsh is shocked to hear that and the chocolate box falls down from his hand to the floor. There is an utter silence for next one minute. Harsh asks her if this could be patched up as he never felt that Dipika is not happy with her. Harsh please with her not to break this relationship and atleast give him one more chance to correct his mistakes if any. Dipika shares a long list of her issues like coming home early, going once a while to metro city for outing etc. Harsh listens carefully and promises to abide by them. Seeing this Dipika gets emotional as she feels that Harsh is really a good guy and there were some communication issues which needed to be sorted out rather than giving him a shocker of divorce!


At this moment of realisation, door bell rings again. Dipika is in a delusional state as she moves towards opening the door. There seems to be some kind of time loop playing with her which is giving her a chance to re-think about her decisions. She opens the door to find Harsh standing there with chocolate box and gift. It's time for her to make a decision on whether to take this opportunity as a blessing or curse. She starts crying and gives a tight hug to Harsh as he stands there clueless on what happened!
