The episode was very enjoyable thanks to little Aaru.. He is such a charmer, he never fails to draw a smile from me. The initial Ram - Aarav scene was a pretty long one, and it was throughly enjoyable and realistic. Araav, being the kid he is, telling his father all about the stay at grandfather's house, the ill-treatment at the hands of his cousins and massi from hell, and also the support of their grandfather, it is natural for the kid to share all these with the father he meets after a king while, and for Ram's part, he didn't badmouth or instigate the boy against AK, Ram Ahuja is indeed a fair and straightforward person. But he is very much concerned about how the kids are treated at the Kapoor's place, with little Aarav frank assessment on how the grandfather sometimes shouts, but he also apologies later put Ram's concerns to rest. Aarav telling his father that he wants the gaming console from his father, and not from grandfather, a very touchy scene. Kids do know who are family, and who are outsiders.
Ram promising Aarav that soon they will come to be with him, and also that Aarav can call him whenever he wants, Aarav demanding to know when Ram coming to meet him again, asking for promise to meet him on his b'day, Ram promising to get the gaming console for his b'day. Guess, Ram really can't deny the boy what he wants when they are meeting after a while, and also the boy is so sweet, nobody can really deny him anything. Ram noticing Disha'a arrival, bids bye, instructs the boy not to inform Disha about their meeting.
All the while, Ayaan managed to hold Disha occupied with his stupid antics, he distracted her, get scolded by her, poor guy he might never have got scolded so much even by his parents. :)
Now the reason for party is clear, Aarav's b'day.. And Ram is certainly going to gate-crash as he promised Aarav to attend the b'day, but what will be the repercussions?
AK fuming against Manav's incompetency and the loss incurred. First time ever Manav impressed with his acting, his rants with Manika and later the evil smile, really good. He had some trick up his sleeve to increase the sales, is the trick involves Ram's music? Only time will tell..
Ram finding how expensive the gaming console his son wants, shares his desperation with Karan, asking Karan to get him some job for him to earn money.. It does give out some vibes of whether Ram will again attempt to sell his music underhandedly to Manav for some quick cash, but somehow I felt he wouldn't do it as Anu prohibited him from doing so.
A very sensible scene between Ayaan and his senior, the senior is a smart guy, he is also taking personal interest in Ram. He telling Ayaan that even if Ram gets acquitted by law, Disha may not trust him, and Ayaan telling acquittal by court is the first step, the senior is a very good judge character. He also warns Ayaan about how AK must be pressurising prosecution to get Ram's bail to get cancelled, and might be arranging for more high profile lawyer. Ayaan deciding to start the search of the elusive letter from post office. Good that he does something more than being unofficial watchdog of AK ;).
Rest of the episode was the fun and cute moments of Aarav, he was just flying in happiness today. Disha is aware of his happiness, but not the reason. Aarav tells her about some mischief at school, and also about his upcoming b'day which she had forgotten.. He replies to his cousins's taunts that he too is getting the gaming console, as a gift for his b'day but smartly didn't reveal from whom he will get it. Last scene of the kids taking to their mom at sky was sweet, but sad too, Aarav complaining to his mom about Disha forgetting his b'day, then feeling sad that his mom won't be with him for this b'day, Disha consoling him saying their mom will also be looking out for them, and then asking about how he wants to celebrate it, for which Aarav replying that as they do always. A beautiful scene between the bro-sis with the mom's silent presence. Hope the words of Aarav about his first b'day without mom melts Disha enough to let their father attend the party.
Precap: Ram at Manav's office for work (or to sell his album), Manav asking him to get out, Karan suggesting Ram to join the enemy's enemy, Ram smiles with new found enthusiasm, guess, the enemy's enemy is some competitor of AK's music company. Probably it is the start of Ram's rise in music scene, and also the start of AK's company's downfall (as it is incurring some heavy losses as mentioned by AK).
