I Bow Down To You -Sajde Mein Yuh Hee Jhukta:Pg 95

As Dadi tries to get a good look at Garima, Payal and Manorama layer so much Haldi on Garima's face that only Haldi can be seen on her face. "Hmm.. Now you look like the groom's in-law!" Mami declares happily. Garima looks at Dadi with scared eyes.. worried that she might recognize her.. but Buaji bursts out laughing! Says, "Haye re Nand Kisore.. Hey, Payaliya, you have put so much Haldi on your mother that even I cannot recognize her. Look what mess you have made on her face!" That relieves Garima though, tension disappears from her face. Payal, Mami and Nani smile as Haldi drips from Garima's face. As Garima reaches for her face, Buaji says, pointing towards Dadi, "Now you also put some Haldi on her!" Dadi nods slightly as Nani touches her shoulder, and says to Garima, "Congratulations!" Then she takes few steps forward, still holding her body stiff, dips her thumb in the Haldi bowl and makes a tika on Garima's face. Garima reciprocates, puts a Haldi tika on Dadi's forehead and says in a gentle voice, "To you too!" Dadi does not move a muscle on her face. Garima lowers her gaze and takes off. Payal moves to grab the bowl and everyone disperse.

Inside Khushi's beautifully decorated room, stand Arnav and Khushi wrapped in each others arms. Arnav's hands rest around Khushi's waist and Khushi's hands wrapped around his neck.. their bodies snug together. Their faces so close.. they can feel each others breath.. Arnav says in hoarse, husky voice, "How much do I have to do to bring you home!" Khushi's gaze gently sweeps over his face before lowering bashfully. " Can we not skip all other rituals... and quickly we..." Arnav adds, looking deep into Khushi's eyes.. Khushi interrupts him, "Life is not a song in a movie.. that you can fast forward!" Arnav asks her softly, with a slight amusement in his voice, "Really?... then all those songs they are playing outside non-stop.. why?" Khushi smiles and explains to Arnav in a soft voice, "Every ritual has importance of its own." "Accha.. Okay!" says Arnav raising his eyebrows slightly, "Like..?" Khushi's eyes wander here and there for a few seconds as she thinks.. then she pulls herself away from Arnav and holds her arms up in front of him. Says, "Like this.. " showing the flowers around her wrist, "There was a worship.. some chants of Mantras... for my protection..." Arnav looks at her as she talks enthusiastically.. her eyes twinkle and she glows with happiness.. he cannot take his eyes off her as she explains further, "So that my married life can continue without any problems.. " The way she explains everything only makes Arnav's heart long more and more for her.. an affectionate smile flickers on his lips as Khushi continues after showing the 'raksha dhaga' tied around her wrist, "And this red thread... was tied so that no one can cast an evil eye towards me!" He watches her mesmerized as she continues animated, "If you saw it carefully.. then you might have noticed that they applied Haldi to my shoulders. .. Lets.. arms.. head and heart.. that's why.." Arnav now cannot control his passion... he reaches for Khushi's hand slowly and holds it in his hand as he says in a hoarse and husky voice, "I know.." His touch speaks to Khushi... she forgets her words as she looks at her hand into his. Arnav's gaze stays focused on Khushi's face as he says, "First... Legs..." Khushi looks up with quivering lips and anticipatory eyes... Arnav now reaches for her other hand and holds that as well, as he says, ".. then arms.. , " just the way he says it with passion oozing from his voice and eyes, makes Khushi breathless.. he slowly pulls her closer.. , ".. then shoulders.." Breathless Khushi looks him into the eye.. anticipation mounts as Arnav leaves her hand and reaches for her face. He touches her face with his hand passionately... lightly... as he says, "then head.." his caressing hand rolls over her temple.. Khushi almost forgets to breath as his touch creates a fire inside her.. she closes her eyes.. as her heart fills with anticipation.. her lips continue to quiver.. that face steals Arnav's heart some more.. mesmerized, he looks at her passionately... and continues to caress her face with a passionate touch of his fingers.. brings his passionate finger to her quivering luscious lips.. unable to take so much anticipation.. so much passion .. so much fire.. Khushi slowly moves away from Arnav and stands with her back towards him.. The passionate lover in Arnav is now more intrigued by the game his beloved started.. As Khushi stands breathless.. struggles to control her pounding heart.. Arnav's passionate gaze stays fixed over her..

Arnav takes slow steps towards Khushi' Khushi stands with her back to him but her heart anticipating his move... Arnav reaches for her.. passion oozes from his eyes as he gently touches with fingers clad in Haldi on her bare back, between the shoulder blades.. Khushi instantly shivers as a current runs through her body with his touch.. passion deepens in Arnav's eyes as Khushi's body responds to his touch.. His passionate fingers slowly torture Khushi as he pulls them down her bare back leaving smears of Haldi on her back.. his eyes sip in his restless beauty as she grows more breathless with every touch of his and closes her eyes with quivering lips.. his passion deepens further as the fire inside him blows even stronger.. As Arnav immerses himself and Khushi in his passionate love, the mischievous lover in Khushi wakes up.. Her eyes shine as a smile spreads across her lips.. Arnav's hand rests on her bare back as Khushi reaches for the Haldi on her other arm without Arnav's knowledge.. Her body reacts again as Arnav's fingers leave her back.. Khushi suppresses her mischievous smile as she turns around and surprises Arnav by quickly smearing some Haldi over his nose.. His passionate face stays sharp as Khushi smiles and giggles mischievously, happily.. and jumps slightly... with joy! The passion once again deepens in his eyes as he watches Khushi's beautiful face glow with happy smile and the mischievous twinkle in her eyes..

Arnav takes some quick forward steps... his passionate eyes stay fixed over her face.. Khushi's eyes go wide... he sweeps Khushi with himself as he takes forward steps bringing their bodies close together.. Khushi's hands immediately grab him on shoulders, Arnav wraps his right arm around her waist as she gets flushed against the foot-board of the bed.. Khushi looks over her shoulder, realizes that Arnav has trapped her in his embrace once again.. She holds onto the bed... with one arm... as Arnav's one arm stays wrapped around her waist... holding her close to him.. his passionate gaze stays on Khushi's face... Khushi looks him into the eye and cannot help but gets drowned in that passion. She closes her eyes as Arnav's face comes closer and closer... Arnav leans over and passionately but gently swipes his Haldi clad cheek over Khushi's cheek.. moving her face with his... drowning both of them into deeper passion.. his yearning heart reflects through his eyes as he slowly pulls his face away from a breathless Khushi.. Her eyes stay closed as Arnav then reaches for the other side of her face with his face getting closer to her on the other side as their bodies stay flushed.. Arnav slowly but passionately now swipes his other cheek against Khushi's cheek smearing his Haldi over her.. his passion makes his face and eyes vulnerable as his heart reflects through his eyes.. his passion now knows no bounds.. He looks at Khushi as he brings his face in front of hers.. their foreheads touch.. Khushi's eyes stay closed, her lips quiver.. she breaths heavily... his eyes.. desire her lips now.. as his gaze lowers to settle on her lips.. OMG.. I died a thousand times blushing away my way to the heavens! More in my special note later'

Garima rushes inside her room, in tears she runs to the cupboard' sobs softly.. she opens the cupboard.. as she continues to cry she looks at the box inside her cupboard underneath a red saree.. Immediately her crying stops..Garima reaches inside the cupboard and pulls out a decorative medium sized wooden box . She opens the box and looks inside.. Just then Shyam's searching eyes find her.. he spies on her through the slit between the open door and its frame as Garima takes out some folded papers from the box.. As Shyam leans against the door, the door opens slightly more making noise. That startles and alerts Garima.. she looks up, quickly puts the note inside and closes the box, rushes to put it inside in the cupboard underneath the red saree.. in front of Shyam's prying eyes.. She stands with her hand on the closed doors of the cupboard.. Cunning Shyam makes up an excuse, "Buaji is calling for you!" Garima gives him a smile and leaves the room from another door! Leaves Shyam looking inside the room through the other door! THIS BUGGED ME LIKE ANYTHING! Okay, calming myself down.. !

Shyam wonders, "What was in that box?'that made Masi ji emotional initially and then she got scared!" He now starts putting two and two together, "And when dadi ji arrived.. she panicked! .. There has to be a secret! .. There must be something between Dadi ji and Masi ji! .. that made Masi ji hide from her..!" An evil smile spreads across the soulless evil's face, "And who else but me can find such things out!"

As everyone gathers Dadi declares, "I am tired! I wish to go home and rest!" To everyone's dislike except Anjali, Shyam appears and says to Dadi, "Dadi ji, let's go! I will come with you!... How can you be alone at home!" Aakash says in a firm voice, 'Let it be!" then smiles at Dadi and says, 'Dadi, I will come with you!" Shyam insists, "No, Saale Sahaab! I will manage! You complete all the rituals, then come with everyone!" Okay, I have had it! Shyam can spy, Shyam can think, Shyam can figure out all the secrets in few minutes.. Is he the hero? Or.. is he the evil? Does Devi Maiyya exist? Is Arnav going to take out his brain from the safe deposit box in the Swiss Bank?

Buaji says to Dadi, "Wait a moment! Let me call Garima!" Calls out for her, 'Garima.. Garima'" Garima hears her in the bathroom as she washes the Haldi off her face, "Garima, come quick! .. Dadi is leaving!.. At least see her!" Garima gets very scared. Outside, all eyes search for her, including Dadi's. Buaji shouts, "Garima, come quickly!" Dadi ji says, "Let it be! She must be busy doing something! I shall leave!" Buaji and her "Namaste" each other. Shyam does the same but Buaji does not reciprocate. They leave together. Buaji thinks.. as she walks towards the bathroom, she realizes, "If water supply gets turned off then no one will be able to wash their Haldi off!.. Everyone, wash it off quickly!" Garima who listens from the door of the bathroom, comes rushing says, "Yes, Jiji! Wash it off quickly! I will set the dinner table!" Buaji takes a firm stand, "Stop! I called for you so many times, why did you not come?" "Jiji, the Haldi just was not coming off.. also I checked it the water tank was full or not!" Buaji gets distracted with her excuse, "Haye re Nand Kisore! It will be tough after the water gets turned off!" She calls everyone, "Why are you guys not coming to wash off! Can't you hear me? Come quick! If the water gets turned off then be done!"

Inside Khushi's room, stands Khushi enveloped in Arnav's lose embrace.. he leans forward.. his passionate gaze now stays on her lips' Khushi braves the passion, says hesitatantly, "Arnav ji' we.. should.. go .. outside.." She looks him into the eye and says softly, "They must be wondering outside where we are!" The passionate lover in Arnav is not going to fall for such an excuse. He looks Khushi into the eye and says in an almost whispering voice, "If they are thinking then they must have guessed where we are!" A subtle suppressed smile flickers across his lips as he looks into Khushi's eyes.. Khushi makes another attempt as she gazes into his passionate eyes she asks him, "You said that you would complete all the rituals!" Arnav looks at her with slight amusement as she asks him, "Is this the way to complete rituals?" His eyes caress her face affectionately, passionately as she attempts further, "Do you know, The girl and the boy cannot see each other after the Haldi!" Arnav asks her softly, "So, when have I seen you?" He answers the question in Khushi's eyes, "You can't be seen behind all this Haldi!" He says wittily. Khushi smiles sweetly as she understands her lover boy's excuse.. that brings a smile to Arnav's face' The fierce lover in Khushi now playfully gets close to him and then in a jiffy pushes him away from her.. still has her hand on his chest as he stands with his hand stretched by her side over to the bed.. she says, "In fact, there is more Haldi on you than me!" Her playful gesture brings the exact effect that it is supposed to do.. lures Arnav's heart further.. he quickly wraps his arm around Khushi's waist pulling her in a tight embrace.. surprised, Khushi rests her hand on his shoulder.. Arnav looks her deep into the eye and asks in a husky voice, "Who applied it on me?" he seems to refer to the face swipe they had just few moments before.. His passionate eyes once again caress her face, search her soul in her eyes.. as he brings his face closer to her.. Khushi again becomes breathless.. she just cannot seem to escape his passion' She holds his Kurta in her hand and surrenders as she gets enveloped by his passion.. closes her eyes and leans forward.. There lips are about to touch when she suddenly comes back to her senses with Buaji's frustrated voice, "I will go first! You all just sit here!" Arnav and Khushi look at the door as their magic spell breaks once again.. Khushi pushes Arnav, 'Go!" He looks at her with surprise' "Why me?" his gaze asks.. as she pushes more, he leaves. Khushi follows him outside..

Payal pours water on their hands to wet the Haldi so that it would come off easily with water. Arnav and Khushi wet the Haldi on their face, hands.. Buaji steps out of bathroom, says, "You guys also wash up quickly.. the water will get turned off!" Arnav points to the towel on the table. As Khushi and he move to get the towel, Mami rushes through, "Excuse Me!" Then turns around and tells Arnav and Khushi off, "It's my turn now!.. Cutting in the middle of the line!" Arnav and Khushi look at each other with amusement. A smirk appears on Arnav's face. Khushi nervously rolls her hands.. Arnav watches her as he paces around the room. Mami then steps out of the bathroom, complains, "This Haldi is flop! It did not bring the glow to the face!" Arnav smiles and shakes his head at her comment and gestures for the towel. Khushi picks up the towel and is about to hand it to Arnav, when Aakash walks in rushed, happenes to grab onto the towel from Khushi's hand, says, "Thanks so much!" Khushi looks at him with her mouth open as he walks into the bathroom. Arnav and Khushi look at each other and smile. OMG, I burst out laughing so loudly every time I see this! Poor Khushi and Arnav, not do they have these interruptions in their kiss but also seem to have the same with rushing to the only bathroom! With smiles on their faces, they wait for Aakash to be done. He emerges from the bathroom, offers Arnav the towel, thanks him and leaves. Arnav gestures to Khushi with a smile on his face that she should go first! Khushi smiles and heads to the bathroom when Payal comes rushing, "Khushi, let me go! Too much work is pending!" and rushes inside the bathroom. Khushi turns around and looks at Arnav with dejected face.. He smirks and smiles.. Khushi and Arnav wait fro Payal to be done. As Payal walks out of the bathroom, Arnav points to the towel, "Towel!" and smiles at Khushi.. almost anticipating another arrival.. Payal mutters as she leaves, "Good, I am done! Now the water has been turned off!" .. Arnav and Khushi look at her stunned! Khushi says, "Whaaat? I and Arnav ji are still left behind!" Everyone looks at them stunned. Mami goes on chirpily in her style, "Hello Hello Dirty Fellow, Bride and Broom still yellow!" Arnav and Khushi are not amused at Mami's remark, but Bauji, bursts out laughing. Arnav looks at the bathroom door with a frustrated gaze' Khushi thinks for a moment and excitedly says to Arnav, 'There is one more option!" Just by looking at her enthusiasm, Arnav realizes what she is about to suggest, he goes, "No! . No.. No.. " but Khushi keeps going on, "It's either the pipe from Happy ji's garage or the hand pump! There is no water around at this time otherwise!" "No.. No.. " Arnav continues. But Khushi grabs his hand enthusiastically and pulls him with her against his protest, "Shall we go?" Arnav cannot stop Khushi.. , "Khu,.. shi.."

At RM:

Dadi offers Shyam a snack. He says, "Dadi ji, I don't feel like having anything." Then he offers her, she says no as he starts talking, ' I noticed how you were sidelined at the time of Haldi!.. I can understand how much it must have hurt!" Shrewd Shyam smiles and shakes it off, 'Oh, No, Dadi ji! It's not like that. After all that happened, naturally it will take same time for everyone to accept me again!. Dadi ji, I have full confidence in myself that soon I will win all these hearts again!" Dadi gives him a sweet smile. Shyam strategically pushes his agenda, "Let it be! Today was such a happy day.. both the families celebrated Haldi together!" He notices the unhappiness on Dadi's face, realizes that it is the right time to attack, says, "I understand, Dadi ji!" Offers tea to Dadi and says, "You think that what Khushi ji did was wrong!" Dadi nods. I think that Shyam has told Dadi the same thing he told Anjali that it was Khushi after him! Shyam says in a patronizing way, "These things happen in this age!.. But even you will agree, Dadi ji, that Khushi ji's family is very nice, especially her Masi ji!" The arrow hits the target! Dadi says, "I have not met with her properly yet! I have not seen her face properly." Shyam recalls in his mind how Garima tried to hide from Dadi. Dadi stands up after finishing her tea, declares, " I am going to relax now!" She leaves. Shyam wonders, "How weird! Dadi ji has not seen Masi ji's face yet?.. Is it that.. Mamsi ji is hiding from Dadi ji intentionally? Why would she do it? What's this twisted matter?

That night: Everyone at the dining table in RM. As Anjali gets up, Shyam jumps to his feet offers to bring her to her room. Anjali says that she can manage and he should come after finishing his dinner. Dadi looks at them happily. Arnav looks at Shyam apprehensively. As she leaves, Shyam looks at Arnav with a gaze full of revenge. He sits at the table, makes his face vulnerable again. Mami comes rushing, takes her sit. Purposefully Shyam offeres the bowl of lentil to Arnav. Absent mindedly Arnav almost reaches for the bowl when his gaze spots Shyam. Every eye looks at them. Arnav pulls his hand back. Shyam pushes it, "Saale Sahaab, you have not yet tasted the pickles!" Arnav says without lifting his gaze, "I don't want it!" Shyam pushes further, "Okay, at least have this salad!" Arnav says flatly, "I said that I don't want it!" Nani watches them as Shyam makes a vulnerable face and says, 'Saale Sahaab, I know that you are upset with me!" Arnav clenches his teeth to control his emotions as he looks at him and Shyam continues, "After all that happened, your being upset is very valid. But I just want one chance! I am not related to just Rani Sahiba but to you.. to this family as well!.. Just needs to strengthen that relationship!" Aakash and NK look at each other with disapproval. Arnav's anger mounts, he clenches his teeth and says in a controlled voice, "Don't you misunderstand that you have any relationship with me or the Raizadas! You are here just because of Di! That's it!" I love you, Arnav! For telling the Creepwa off straight in his face! Arnav gets up and leaves the table. "Arnav!" Calls Dadi from behind. His feet stop but he does not turn, clenches his teeth as Dadi goes on, "Is this a way to talk to Damad ji? Damad ji is trying to mend the broken relationships and you here are insulting him over and over!.. That's enough, Arnav! You must forget the past and forgive Damad ji!" Arnav says, "I can never forgive this man!" Dadi says ferociously, "Just the way you never have forgiven your father!" Arnav tightens his fist to control his anger. He walks away. Shyam now has a new link with Arnav's past! His shrewd mind gets to work.

Shyam gives Anjali her meds. As she swallows her pills, he makes a worried face. Anjali asks why he is so worried. He shakes hi head to make excuses. Anjali does exactly as he expects her to do. She says that she can sense his mood by just looking at him. She insists that he tells her. Shyam makes his next move, hits on Anjali's weakness, "Rani Sahiba! Today Dadi scolded Saale Sahaab because of me. You know me, I can take it all. But, I don't want any problems between them because of me. Today she said, in front of me, that just the same way he never could forgive his father, he is not forgiving me!.. It's not good that your family's secret comes out in front of me!" Shyam wins again! Anjali says, "Are you not part of this family?" Shyam brings her back on track to gather further information, "No, I did not know all this that's why!" Anjali says with a mellow face, "I never told you about it as I and Chhotey wanted to forget our past!" Then Anjali starts revealing the past to Shyam's benefit, "There is a reason why Chhotey is like this! He was very young when our mother committed suicide. He was really affected by that. As you know, my first marriage alliance broke.. and you also know that my parents were in a mishap.. and died' unfortunately. But I never told you about how this all happened. Since it never came up.. sorry! I should have told you this before." Shyam is a seasoned player, "No, Rani Sahiba! I did not want to hurt you..but such a big thing?" Anjali says as tears roll down her face, "How could I tell you that because of some other woman my parents committed suicide! I and Chhotey have not ever discussed this!" "That means you r father." Shyam pushes. Anjali adds, "Yes! There was another woman in my father's life!.. because of her my mother committed suicide!" Now that Shyam has the most important missing piece of the story, he soothes Anjali, wipes off her tears and says that he won't talk about it again. As Anjali hugs him, his mind recalls the events with Garima from earlier that day. Now he must work on getting the final link together!

Shyam comes to Dadi's room as she makes her bed. She wonders why he has not gone to bed this late at night. Shyam knows how to keep an upper hand, says, "Dadi ji, I don't think that you should get angry with Saale Sahaab because of me.. give him some time, everything will be alright!" Then pushes his luck, "But yes, it certainly bothered me the way he thinks about his father.." Dadi responds, "No one stopped him all these years. Nor did anyone try to calm him down. Even I wasn't here to help him understand. But now it's too late!" Shyam uses his new found information as if he has known it for years, 'Rani Sahiba told me how her parents committed suicide.. That other woman.. You know Dadi ji, that's why it is natural for Saale Sahaab to be this way!" He gets what he wants, Dadi says, "Natural? It would be appropriate only if Arnav would not repeat the mistake from the past! Had learned something from that! If his father strayed despite my warnings, his mother should have controlled him. ! It's the duty of a wife to make sure her husband does not go stray!" Well done, Dadi! I knew exactly this is what you would say one of these days! "That other woman is the culprit.. she broke my son's home!.. shattered the whole family.. just the same way it happened in your married life!" Dadi herself assures Shyam, 'Yes, I know it was a misunderstanding this time! But didn't all of this happen because of the other woman? History is repeating itself in this house! Same way Arnav has concluded that you are guilty and is going with Khushi!.. Same way he had concluded that his father was guilty!.. and never said anything about the other woman!.. This time it was Khushi.. then it was Garima!" Finally Shyam gets what he wants. He must confirm though, "Garima?" "yes, that Garima! She trapped my son in her love! All the pains in this house were because of Garima! If she comes in front of me.. then.. " Dadi clenches her teeth to control herself! As Dadi closes her eyes to calm herself down, Shyam puts two and two together and wonders if this Garima is the same one! He rejoices that now all the cards are in his control and that he has already won this battle!

Next day at Buaji's: As the nurse wheels Shashi, Garima becomes restless. Outside, Arnav waits for them with Buaji and Khushi. As soon as they reach the living room, Buaji says to Arnav, "Let's go, Nand Kisore! We are all ready! Say now!" Arnav says with a smile, "Let's go!" Garima comes up with an excuse, 'Jiji, I am worried about him." "Why?" asks Buaji. Garima says, 'It's not right for him to travel this much!" Arnav points out, "But, it is not a long travel!" Garima struggles to find an excuse, "Yes, bitwa.. still.. " Arnav says with a smile, 'No.. No! Not this time! I am not leaving without you and uncle!.. Come, let's go!" Garima tries.. Khushi says to Garima, "Amma, this time Arnav ji is not going to listen to any of your excuses!" Garima prays to God that any unfortunate incident should not take place. Khushi looks her as she clenches her Mangalsutra. Buaji calls from the door, 'Come on!" Khushi closes the door behind them as they all leave. As soon as they elave, Shyam enters the house. He thinks that now he can get his work done while they all at Shantivan. He wants to find out what is in that box that made Garima so emotional. He heads for the cupboard straight. Opens it! Hidden behind the clothes is the decorative wooden box. He takes it out. Sits on the bed and starts going through it.

Outside, Arnav gets Shashi seated in the car. Garima remembers that she forgot the medications. Khushi tells her that she would get it. As Shyam starts going through the stuff, Khushi's feet near the room. Frustrated, Shyam puts everything back in the box not thinking much of it, when he looks at something that is a folded photograph. He stands up as he looks at the picture. It's Garima with someone else. That he does not know.. Now he wants to look inside the box again. As he sits down on the bed, he hears footsteps. It's Khushi. She enters the room but Shyam is not there. He watches Khushi from behind the other door. She opens the cupboard,, looks for the medications.. locates it under the folds of a saree' grabs the medications and off she goes. Shyam comes out from behind the door as they al leave. He vows to reveal the past to Garima's picture.

At RM: NK describes to Dadi the game the family would be playing. Excitedly he explains, "When the music stops the one who holds the pillow will get a punishment!" Dadi gives him a stern look and leaves. Aakash explains to NK," Actually, Dadi does not like al these things!.. Don't worry, everything will be fine!" As soon as Dadi leaves, the Gupta family enters RM. NK says excitedly, 'Oh, everyone has arrived!. Come in! Welcome!" Mami and Anjali.. Payal as well rush to welcome them. NK declares, "Now that we know everyone is fine, let's go and let the games begin!" Anjali wonders, "Where is he? Has he not arrived yet?"

Arnav declares, "You guys carry on!" and starts to leave. Khushi looks at him with surprise. NK says, "Hey, Nannav! Where are you going? Come one.. don't be spoilt sport!" Aakash tries to explain, "Bhai, there is nothing much to do in the game! Come on!" Arnav says, "I don't think so! I will be fine!" Khushi says, 'Let it be, Jijaji! He is afraid of punishment. He probably is thinking that about what extent we might go if he is the one with the pillow!" Aakash realizes what she is trying to do. Khushi lists her eyebrows and asks teasingly, 'Right?" Arnav walks over to her and says, 'Really?" Then turns to Aakash and NK, says, 'Alright! I will play!" Then he turns to Khushi and says, "If I win then you will do as I say!" Khushi thinks for a moment and says, "OK! And if I win, then you will do as I say!" Ahhh.. a challenge! How Arnav and Khushi love to challenge each other!

Everyone sits in a circle. Nani ji plays the music. Garima and Shashi watch. Garima's fearful eyes continue to look for Dadi. The game goes on. Just then Shyam walks in. HP brings everyone a snack as Shyam comes where everyone is. Anjali asks, "You have arrived! Where were you?" Shyam makes up an excuse, "Rani sahiba, I had an important meeting!" Arnav clenches his teeth as he knows that's a lie most likely. Anjali says, "The work will always be there. Come, sit next to me!" Then she looks around. Everyone looks away or down. Shyam again wants to keep an upper hand and still do what he wants to do, he gestures to Anjali that it is Okay as he says that he will come back in a while. Anjali gets sad for a few moments. Shyam goes looking for Dadi. The game resumes.

Shyam comes to Dadi. She reads something religious. Shyam asks, "What are you doing alone here?" "I don't like those non-sense games!" she says. Shyam says, "Even I am not interested, Dadi ji! I also know that you are not happy about this marriage. .. But Dadi ji, today Khushi ji's whole family is here. They are our guests! They will feel better if you meet with them." Dadi tells him off, "I am tired now, will meet with them later!" Shyam gets worried thinking that Garima would find some excuse to leave by then. He starts thinking about a new plan to bring them in front of each other.

The game progresses downstairs. This go around the pillow is with payal when the music stops. Khushi runs to Nani ji and whispers something in her ear.. Nani ji gets excited. As Khushi goes back in her place, Nani ji says that Payal has to mimic her mother-in-law. Hesitant Payal says how can she do that in front of Manorama. Nani demands that she must do it given that Nani happens to the ma-in-law of her ma-in-law!" Payal finally gets up and enacts Manorama, "Hello Hi Bye Bye! I need to go the beauty parlour! I must look beautiful in Arnav bitwa's maariage.' Everyone claps. Next it is Aakash. Garima wheels Shashi out of the lounge to give his medication. As Shyam comes downstairs, he gets frustrated not to find Garima and Shashi. Ultimately he finds them in the kitchen. HP helps them out. He walks over to Garima and says, "Masi ji, if Masa ji wants to relax, you can use my room!" "Thank You! I am just making his medication." Garima says. Garima takes the glass of milk that HP gives her and turns her back to mix it. HP picks up another tray with a glass of milk and Dadi's medication and leaves the kitchen. Shyam quickly grabs the pills and puts those in his pocket, takes off. As Garima comes back looking for the medication, it is no more there.

As HP gets close to the stirs, Shyam cals, "Hari Prakash ji!" 'Ji!' "I am having severe headache. Can you get me some tea?" HP says, "Shyam Babu, I have to bring dadi ji's meds!" Shyam pretends of headache.. hold his hand pressing on his sinuses.. Poor HP falls for it, "Okay! Let me make tea first for you!" He puts the tray aside and goes back to the kitchen. Shyam quickly exchanges the medication with Shashi's making sure no one watches him.

HP brings Shyam a tea and picks up the tray to bring to Dadi. In the kitchen, Garima goes crazy looking for Shashi's medication. Outside, Nani declares that now only Khushi and Arnav are left in the game. Khushi playfully lifts her eyebrows and smiles teasingly at Arnav. Arnav smiles as if he knows what he needs to do.
