Smiling, blushing and with a huge smile on her face, Naina reaches in front of Pooja's house. She stops in her tracks and her smile vanishes as she thinks about Payal. How will she tell Payal the truth about Rajveer being her father? It is going to be hard but she has to tell Payal because now, they will all be living together as a happy family!
With tons of courage, Naina rings the doorbell. Within seconds, Payal runs towards the door and opens it up. A huge smile creeps on her face as she finds Naina standing at the door.
"Mama!!!", yells Payal in excitement as she runs towards Naina and huge her legs, due to her small height.
Naina immediately picks her princess up in her arms . Payal puts her small hands around Naina's neck and gives her a warm hug.
"Kya meri princess ne apni Mama ko miss kia?", questions Naina smiling
"Bohut sara!!", replies Payal.
With that, they both head inside and sit at a couch as they wait for Pooja to come downstairs. In the meantime, Naina decides to talk to payal about Rajveer.
Sitting at a couch, Naina pulls Payal closer and Payal lands on Naina's lap.
"Payal mama ko aap ko kuch batana hai", says Naina softly
"Payal sun rahi hai mama!", replies Payal cutely
"Beta aap ka kabhi dil nahi karta ke aap apne papa ke baray mein jaano?", questions Naina
Payal cups Naina's face with her little hands and gives her a small kiss on her forehead.
"Mama Payal ne aapko ek din rotay dekha tha jab Naveen mamu ne aapse Papa ke baray mein sawal kia. Payal apni mama se bohut pyaar karti hai issi liye Payal aisa kuch bhi nahi janna chahti jis se meri mama roye", replies Payal
Naina's eyes starts tearing up as she hears such words from her little baby. She feels sven more guilty for hiding Rajveer from Payal and Payal from Rajveer.
"Kya aap ab janna chahti ho apne papa ke baray mein my baby?", questions Naina
Payal's eyes twinkles at the thought of knowing about her father. Her mind goes back to the incident that took place earlier and she remembers Rajveer's touch. Tears starts to take place in Payal's eyes.
Seeing that, Naina immediately wipes Payal's tears away and kisses her forehead.
"Ji mama! Mujhe papa ke baray mein bataiye", requests Payal sweetly
Smiling, Naina pulls Payal even closer and gives her a tight hug.
"Payal aapko yaad hai aaj aap kisi se mili thi?", questions Naina
"Ji mana! Kon thay wo?", questions Payal
Naina closes her eyes tightly in order to gather some courage up to speak..
"Papa hain wo aapke or wo apni princess se bohut pyaar karte hain"
Comes a voice from the main door. Naina immediately opens her eyes. This drags the attention of both Payal and Naina. Looking towards the direction, they find none other than Payal's father and Naina's husband, Rajveer!
There he stands at the door, smiling, yet tears are evident in his eyes which he tries to hold back, but fails to hide his emotions in front of his daughter.
Hearing this, Payal immediately gets off from Naina's lap and runs towards Rajveer. Tears takes place in Payal's eyes as she learns the truth. These tears are of happiness as she is finally meeting her father.
As soon as Payal reaches him, Rajveer immediately pulls her up in his arms while Payal puts her arms around his neck and gives him a hug, tightly.
"Papa!!", mumbles Payal softly between her sobs.
Rajveer's heart skips a beat as he hears his daughter calling him "papa" for the first time. And what breaks his heart is seeing his daughter cry. Today he has realised that not only in Naina's eyes, but he cannot see tears in Payal's eyes as well. He just met his daughter but the connection he feels towards her is priceless which cannot be described in words.
Breaking the hug, Rajveer sits on the floor while Payal sits on his lap.
"I am sorry my princess ke mein itne dino tak aapse door raha! I love you darling", says Rajveer sobbing.
Payal's heart breaks seeing her father cry. She immediately cups his face and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too papa! Please aap Payal ko sorry mut kahiye", says Payal
This gestures of Payal swells Rajveer's heart with so much love for his daughter. He showers her with so many kisses.
Naina has been watching this from the distance and there are tears in her eyes, tears of happiness. Finally Payal got what she wanted, her father! Naina's heart fills with so much love seeing the father-daughter bond. Today, she feels as her life is complete with the two most important people of her life, her husband and her daughter.
Walking towards them, Naina puts a hand on Payal's shoulder. Payal looks towards Naina and gives her a warm and a big smile. Picking Payal up in his arms, Rajveer stands up and gives Naina a smile. Naina is so glad that he is here with her as they disclose the truth to Payal.
"Payal ko ek family hug chahiye", demands Payal sweetly.
Naina and Rajveer both laugh at her sweet demand. Smiling, they all come closer for a family hug. Hugging each other tightly, they finally find their happiness.
Breaking the hug, Payal still being in Rajveer's arms, looks towards Naina and then Rajveer.
"Mama hum papa ke sath rahege na ab?", questions Payal
Smiling, Naina nods her head in a yes, but then a thought crosses her mind and she gives a naughty smile to Rajveer. Rajveer understands what exactly is going in Naina's mind and he smirks.
"Yes my princess ab hum sab sath rahege", replies Rajveer
"Yayyy!!", Payal yells in excitement as she claps her hands together.
"Itni jaldi nahi beta. Aap ke papa ko thora intzaar karna padega. Hum aaj shaam 8 bjy ke baad jaiyege aapke papa ke pass", says Naina smirking as she remembers the bet.
"Bilkul nahi meri Payal aaj 8 bjy se pehle apne papa ke paas hogi", says Rajveer with a smirk
Payal looks confused at what exactly is going on.
"Aisa kyun?", questions Payal
"Kyunke beta aapke papa or mere beech ek shart lagi hai. Unh ka kehna hai ke hum inh ke pass 8 bjy se pehle jaiyege lekin aapki mama ka kehna hai ke hum 8 bjy ke baad jaiyge", replies Naina smiling
Payal smiles at this and kisses Rajveer on his forehead.
"Jo bhi ho shart toh papa hi jeetege", says Payal
"That's like my princess", says Rajveer happily and kisses Payal back, hugging her even tighter.
Naina crosses her arms over her chest and glares at Payal and Rajveer, pretending to be angry. Payal and Rajveer give each other a high five.
"Lo mil gayye baap beti meri band bajane", says Naina pretending to be angry.
The next thing that happens is they all burst out into fits of laughter. All this time, Rajveer does not let go off Payal even for a second.
Giving Payal a hug and a kiss, Rajveer gives her to Naina. Before leaving, he winks at Naina which clearly states "I'll win wifey". With that, he goes out of the house smiling at his next plan which will make Naina lose.
