Common corridor outside Bhalla-Iyer residence:
Adi and Pihu come out from Iyer house. Pihu is sad. Adi lovingly holds his hand with one hand. In the other hand he is carrying the bag of food packed by Ishita. They turn to go inside Bhalla house. Just then Romi opens the Bhalla house door and walks out hurriedly. He does not see Adi and Pihu and bumps into Adi. All three of them are startled.
Adi: Romi Chachu! Sorry aapko lagi toh nahin na?
Romi: Sorry Adi maine tum dono ko dekha nahi. Tum dono ka dinner ho gaya? Pihu kya hua tum itni sad kyun ho beta?
Pihu: Haan dinner kar liya. Ishimaa ne mujhe in fact hum dono ko khilaya. Chachu Ishimaa ko hum apne sath ghar nahi la sakte kya?
Adi: don't worry Pihu jab hum sab aisa chahte hai toh aisa hi hoga.
Pihu: chachu ek idea hai!
Romi: kaisa idea Pihu?
Pihu: hum Ishimaa ko convince karte hai ek aur new disguise mein hamare ghar aane ke liye. And is baar humein pata hoga ki woh Ishimaa hai toh hum unki help karenge aur koi unko trap nahi kar payega. Aise woh hamare pas bhi rahengi aur kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega.
Romi and Adi smile at Pihu's innocence and look at her with love and sadness in their eyes. They both know that Pihu is smarter than this but they understand she is coming up with such silly ideas because she is desperate to have Ishita back in her life as are they too.
Romi: Pihu aapka idea toh bahut accha hai but problem yeh hai ki abhi abhi yeh plan flop hua hai na isliye sab high alert pe honge. Woh aise kisi ko disguise mein aane nahin denge. Is plan ko execute karne ke liye humein wait karna hoga. Jab sab log is bat ko bhul jayenge tab iske bare mein socha ja sakta hai. But don't worry. Romi Chachu hai na tum sabke sath. Hum koi naya solid plan banayenge.
Pihu: Thank you Chachu.
Pihu hugs Romi. Romi smiles at her. Just then Romi's mobile beeps and he sees a message from a private number and reads the SMS.
Private Number
9:47 pm : Delivery waiting downstairs.
Romi quickly keeps his phone back in his pocket.
Romi: Acha Pihu, Adi tum dono ab andar jao. Mujhe kuch zaroori kaam hai main thodi der mein aata hoon.
Pihu and Adi go inside and Romi hurriedly heads out. He steps outside the building and looks around to make sure that no one saw him. He quietly heads to the parking lot. He goes to a corner where he can see a man hiding in the shadow. He goes to the man and the man discreetly hands him over a package and leaves. Romi looks at the package and then quickly hides it in his jackets inner pocket. He then takes his phone out and quickly texts back to the private number.
Private Number
9:47 pm : Delivery waiting downstairs.
Romi
9.52 pm: Package mil gaya. got it.
Private Number
9.53 pm: Kaam aj hi ho jana chahiye. Kahin der na ho jaye.
Romi
9.53 pm: Mauka milte hi kam ho jayega.
Private Number
9.54 pm: Kam pura hote hi khabar karna aur baki baton ke bare mein bhi keep me posted.
Romi hurriedly heads back to Bhalla house thinking how on earth will he do this impossible task.
Ruhi's Bedroom:
Ruhi and Aliya are sitting lost in their thoughts. They both are thinking back at all the drama that happened during the day with Ishita. Just then Pihu and Adi enter the room with big smiles on their faces.
Pihu: Ruhi didi... Aliya bhabhi!! Hum aa gaye and aap dono ke liye surprise sath laye hain.
Aliya: Kaisa surprise?
Adi: Sab ne dinner kar liya?
Ruhi: Nahin. Kisi ne theek se khana nahin khaya. Papa ne toh khane ko hath bhi nahin lagaya.
Adi: Par kyun?
Aliya and Ruhi tell Adi everything that happened at the dining table. While Ruhi and Aliya are worried, Adi is standing there with a big smile on his face.
Adi: Tum dono ne bhi khana nahin khaya na? Bhook toh lagi hogi na tum dono ko. Chalo iska bhi solution hai mere paas. Dekho Ishimaa ne tum dono aur papa ke liye apne hathon se pack karke khana bheja hai.
Ruhi: Door reh ke bhi Ishimaa ko hum sabka kitna khayal rehta hai.
Aliya: Adi hum toh kha lenge lekin Papa ko jab pata chalega ki Amma ne yeh bheja hai toh woh nahin khayenge.
Adi: Pata tab chalega jab hum unhein kuch batayenge.
Pihu: But Papa ke pass yeh khana leke kaun jayega?
Adi: Khana papa ke pass nahi jayega. Papa khane ke pass ayenge.
Adi looks at all three of them and winks. All four of them huddle together and Adi tells them his plan.
Pihu: great idea Adi bhaiya. Main abhi jati hoon and apne plan pe action shuru karti hoon.
Adi: All the best Pihu. Tum jao and tab tak Aliya aur Ruhi tum dono kitchen se sab zarurat ki cheezein le aao aur main yahan sab kuch set karta hoon.
They all quickly leave leaving Adi alone in Ruhi's room. Adi smiles and thinks that even today its only because of Ishita that papa wont sleep without eating. Adi then starts arranging things as per his plan.
Raman's bedroom:
Raman is sitting on this bed. He is still thinking about Ishita and Pihu. He is frustrated that he can't seem to understand the depth of their relationship. As frustrated as he is with this dilemma he also feels a certain kind of calm every time he thinks about Ishita.
He is suddenly shocked when a pair of arms hug him from behind. Startled he looks back only to find Pihu behind him. Before he can react Pihu gives him a loving kiss on his cheek.
Pihu: Papa aap itne quietly kya soch rahe ho? Aapko toh yeh bhi pata nahin chala ki main kab room mein aai and chupke se aapke peeche aa gai!
Raman lovingly looks at Pihu. He thinks no matter what bond Pihu and Ishita share my daughter loves me too.
Raman: Pihu aapko toh main aapki Sassoon se pehchan leta hoon.
Pihu: Kuch bhi Papa. Aap aise hi bol rahe ho. Apko kuch bhi pata Nahi chalta tabhi toh aap ek second ke liye dar gaye the!! Ha ha!!
Raman: Hmmm...
Raman thinks Pihu is right. I have no clue about anything. That is why miss Ishita was able to come to our house in disguise. If that wasn't enough i feel like so many parts of my life are missing. My life is like an incomplete puzzle and I have no clue where the missing pieces are to complete it.
Pihu: Papa main proove kar sakti hoon ki aapko kuch nahin pata.
Raman: Woh kaise?
Pihu: Acha batao aaj TGIF hangout kahan ho raha hai?
Raman: TGIF hangout? Yeh kya hota hai?
Pihu: Dekha. You have no idea!!
Raman: Ok Pihu. I have no idea. Chalo ab so jao. Warna school ke liye kal late ho jaogi.
Pihu: Oh ho Papa! Kal Saturday hai so no school. Tabhi toh aaj TGIF hangout matlab Thank God Its Friday Hangout.
Raman: ok. Aur yeh hangout hota hai kahan? Aur aapko rat ko bahar jane ka aur hangout attend karne ka permission kisne diya?
Pihu: oh ho Papa! Yeh hamare ghar mein hi hota hai!! But main apko hamara secret bataungi toh ab ghar mein sabko bata toh nahin doge na? Warna main us hangout se out ho jaungi aur phir main aur sad ho jaungi.
Raman: Haan bilkul nahin bataunga.
Pihu: Phir toh aap bhi chalo hamare TGIF hangout mein!
Raman gets very happy. He thinks this is a good way to come close to Pihu. The closer I come to her the lesser she will want to be around Ishita. Pihu grabs Raman's hand and drags him out of his room.
