Everyone were in the mini bus waiting for Siya to come. Siya enters the bus and looks at Ram who actioned her asking about Kranti- whether she has agreed or not. She smile and looks at the door from where Kranti was coming. Everyone gets happy including Manvi as she sighs in relief looking at Kranti with Siya. 
Chal pade hain hum aisi raah pe
Befikar hue ke ab jaana kahan...
Siya makes Kranti to sit beside Dashrath and she lightly smile at Siya. The driver starts the bus and everyone started singing and enjoying the journey. Sumitra asked kranti if she is fine and Kranti nods her head agreeing.
Lapata hue saare raaste
Dhoondega humein yeh zamana kahan...
They played antakshari and also did dance in the middle while the elders clapped for them. Kranti looks at Ram and Siya and then bows down looking smiling sadly.
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah...
After a journey of one to two hours, they reached Raghuvanshis farm house in Panvel. The boys helped the elders to get down the bus and also carried their baskets and other stuffs from bus.
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah...
Siya looks at the whole farmhouse and gets happy looking at the soothing surrounding. The plants, chirping of birds and the beautiful atmosphere made her happy while Ram side hugs her smiling at her happy face.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
They moved inside where everyone were present. Manvi and Urmila started giving sandwiches and cold drinks to everyone while Lakshman and Shruti argued for the games to play.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
Ram gave the idea of playing cricket while everyone agrees to him. Everyone except Kranti and Sunaina started playing the cricket in the back side of their farm house. Ram started batting and hits the long shots while Bharat was bowling for him. He hits the shot and the bowl goes in air while Shruti and Shatrughan started running towards each other to catch it.
Paani hoon paani main
Haan behne do mujhe
Jaisa hoon waisa hi
Rehne do mujhe...
They both bumped into each other and falls down while everyone started laughing at them. Shruti scolded Shatrughan while he complains against her to Siya. Ram and Siya makes them understand which goes noticed by kranti. 
Duniya ki bandishon se
Mera naata hai kahan
Rukna theharna mujhko aata hai kahan...
Next, Dashrath started batting while Kushal was bowling at him. Urmila takes the bowl and hits it directly to the stumps making Dashrath run out while Lakshman gets happy picking her in arms. Everyone started teasing them while Urmila hides herself hugging Siya.
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah...
Siya started batting and shatrughan was bowling at her. Ram intensionally drops her catch while everyone started shouting and blaming him. Siya giggle at him while he pouts looking at her reaction.
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah...
Sunaina interrupts the play and calls them to have some refreshments. Siya takes the water bottles and chips packets to the boys while the boys thanks her. Kranti watches her doing that.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
Bharat feeds Manvi a biscuit while she looks around at everyone. She smile at him and both of them stare each other not realising that everyone is watching their cute romance. Lakshman clips his fingers before them and they bows down looking embarrassed while everyone laughs at them.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
After a while, the kids started playing tug of war while the elders watched them sitting under a roof. At one side, Ram, Bharat Shruti and Urmila were there. While on the opposite side, Siya Manvi lakshaman and Shatrughan were there. 
Neeli hai kyun zameen
Neela hai kyun samaa
Lagta hai ghaas par soya aasmaan...
They started pulling each other's side towards them. After a while Siya's side gets a jerk and she falls on Ram who was standing at the front. They both looks at each other smiling while everyone started teasing them making a sound of "oooo..."
Yeh mastiyan meri
Manmaniyan meri
Lo mil gayi mujhe aazadiyan meri...
Lakshman looks at Urmila who was laughing and teases her by hitting her. Urmila runs behind him to catch while Manvi started recording the Tom and Jerry fight.
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah...
Urmila complaints to Ram about Lakshman while Ram scolded him. He holds his ears in front of Urmila while she embrace Ram in a hug. Siya smile at them and nods her head in disbelief.
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah...
At evening, Siya fries some pakodas in the kitchen while Urmila helped her. Everyone were settled in the living room playing cards together. Shatrughan calls Siya and Urmila to join while both the girls started serving everyone.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
Bharat holds Siya's hand and pulls her to sit and takes the plate himself to serve everyone. Kranti watches him do that while Manvi watches her reactions.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
Everyone started playing the cards, enjoying their evening with pakodas and tea. Sumitra hits Shatrughan as he was peeping near her to check for her cards. 
Chal pade hain hum aisi raah pe
Befikar hue ke ab jaana kahan...
Chandra shows her cards to Lakshman to help him while Urmila watches them do that. She started shouting "cheating" while Lakshman disagreed to her.
Lapata hue saare raaste
Dhoondega humein yeh zamana kahan...
Dashrath and Janak discuss with each other while Shruti too stops them for doing cheating. They started shouting, and disagreeing while everyone laughs at them.
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah...
They continued their play for sometime time and after that had their dinner prepared by the workers. Ram moves towards Siya as she was busy instructing the workers and feeds her by himself. She smile at him nodding her head in disbelief.
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah...
Lakshman and urmila had their food from one plate. While Manvi served Bharat intensionally as he was denying to have anything. Shatrughan and Shruti too feed each other while the elders continued talking.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara...
Siya gives medicines to Dashrath while he caresses her head. She asked Kranti about her health for which she lightly nods at her telling that she is fine now. 
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara.
Everyone gets into the bus to leave after the dinner. The elders were sleeping while the kids were still talking and laughing. Siya asked them to keep quiet as the elders were sleeping while they started giggling over Lakshman's jokes. After a while everyone closed their eyes to rest. Ram looks at Siya who was leaning at the window. He slowly takes her head to rest it on his shoulder. He lightly caresses her head and smile looking at the sleeping Siya...

SHRUTI- kya maa.? You all are leaving today. Otherwise we could have gone for shopping or other places here in Mumbai..
Complaints Shruti, as the girls were helping Sunaina and Chandra to pack their bags.
MANVI- yes taiji. Itni bhi kya jaldi hai jane ki..?
Manvi pouts at her, forwarding some clothes to Sunaina.
SUNAINA- areh baba your tauji and papa have lots of work there. Bade mushkil se to 2 din ke liye aye the..
Said Sunaina nodding in disbelief. Chandra too agreed with her.
CHANDRA- ha. And this is all of yours sasural. How can we stay here longer? 
Urmila rolls her eyes hearing from chandra.
URMILA- kya chachi.? Yaha aisa koi nahi sochta. And hum log shadi ke bad ab mile hai. Atleast you all could have stayed for few days..
Said Urmila while Sunaina caresses her head lovingly. 
SIYA- Urmila...
Siya stops her from complaining further.
SIYA- bas ab..you all don't say these things. Papa and chacha ji ko zarur urgent kam pending honge. Otherwise they would have not been leaving soon. 
Said Siya trying to explain the girls while they nods at her lightly. Janak and Kushal smile at Siya standing on the door.
KUSHAL- aur fir Delhi hai hi kitna dur for you girls. Catch a flight and be with us within few hours.
The girls look at Kushal and nods in agreement. Janak moves towards the girls.
JANAK- today we four of us are really very happy..
The girls turns towards him with a smile, confused by his sudden statement.
JANAK- our daughters are the part of Raghuvanshi family, this itself is making us satisfied. 
The girls look at each other and then at Janak.
KUSHAL- yes.. and above that, you four have made this house a heaven with your behavior. We are really proud of you..
SIYA- these are all of yours upbringing chacha-ji.. we are trying our best to fulfill all the responsibilities of a wife and daughters-in-law..
Said Siya assuring the Rajrishis while they smile at her proudly.
CHANDRA- me to pehele se hi keh rahi thi. Our daughters are the bahus of that family where Siya is the eldest bahu..
Said Chandra caressing Siya's head lovingly. Janak takes a step forward near them.
JANAK- yes.. ofcourse.. but now I want you all to think something about Rajrishi industries..
The girls looks at him in confusion.
MANVI- what about that tauji.? 
Asked Manvi while Janak nods at her lightly, continuing his words.
JANAK- this company was started by our father, I and Kushal were college going that time. We took the charge of this company and dedicated our whole life to build this empire. 
Janak started telling them about his and Kushal's contribution while Sunaina and Chandra smile at them. The girls were still standing confused.
KUSHAL- after that.. you girls took charge of this and we started growing more. We are so lucky that you all are able to handle everything being here in mumbai..
URMILA- chacha-ji.. aap dono kya kehna chahte hai.?
Asked Urmila sounding confused. Janak and Kushal looks at each other and then at the girls..
JANAK- we are thinking to give all the charge of this business to you four...
Announced Janak making the girls shocked.
SHRUTI- kya..! Aap retirement ka soch rahe hai tauji..? 
MANVI- why tauji.? And papa.. you too.? What's the sudden need for this.? 
Shruti and Manvi started asking them questions while Urmila nods her head in disbelief.
URMILA- papa.. chacha-ji.. we are learners right now. And another thing is.. we live here in mumbai. How can we manage everything of Delhi here.? 
JANAK- you are taking us wrong urmila..
Janak interrupts her while the girls looks confused.
JANAK- we both are not planning our retirement. We will continue our work.. but.. as a normal employees..we want you all to handle this on your own now..
Janak explained them what they are thinking while Kushal continued his sentence.
KUSHAL- and we know it's bit difficult to handle everything being here. But hum hai na.. we are always there to help you all out..
The girls looks unconvinced. Janak looks at Siya who was thinking something.
JANAK- what happened siya .? Tum kuch kyu nahi keh rahi.?
Questioned Janak, bringing Siya out of her thoughts. She moves towards Janak and Kushal.
SIYA- papa.. chacha-ji.. I know you both care for us a lot.. and I know aap dono ne jo hamarw liye socha hai wo sahi hi hoga.. 
Janak and Kushal smile hearing her words while the girls looks surprised.
SIYA- but papa.. we don't need this..
Janak scrunched his eyebrows to look at Siya in confusion.
JANAK- matlab..?
SIYA- we are happy with what we have now papa.. we do not wish to have a position in board of directors panel.. jab tak you and chacha-ji can handle the business, we will be at same position working...
Siya announced making the girls agree to her while Janak and Kushal looks at each other.
SIYA- aur rahi bat aapke aur chacha-ji ke retirement ke bad ki..to aap ne hi hume hamesha sikhaya hai papa.. to live for people. To help them out at any possible way we can... so we can think to give half of the profits of the business to any charity or NGO... 
Everyone became happy hearing Siya's suggestions. Siya looks at Janak hoping to get a positive response from him. He moved near her and embrace her in a hug.
JANAK- I don't know from where you've learnt to be so kind Siya.. we are really proud of you..
Said Janak caressing Siya's head. She released him from the hug and smile at him.
SIYA- hum sab ne to aap sab se hi sikha hai papa.. we have learnt to live simple life from you all. You have always choosen the life which is away from the limelight. Simple living kya hai ye humne aap se hi to sikha hai na papa..
The elders became emotional hearing Siya's words. The girls too agreed with her.
MANVI- papa . Tauji.. hum sab dii ke bato se agree karte hai. We don't want any position of MD or directors.. all we want is to help you both in any way possible..
KUSHAL- and.. we respect your decisions...
Said Kushal with a smile.. Janak calls the girls towards him and the four of them embrace him in a hug.
JANAK- sachme.. hamari betiyan badi hogayi hai...
Sunaina and Chandra wipes their tears while the girls tightens their grip on Janak getting emotional...

At night, Siya was keeping the ironed clothes in cupboard while Ram was looking into his files.
RAM- sab log Delhi pohoch gaye na.?
Asked Ram enquiring about the Rajrishis.
SIYA- ya.. maa had called to inform..
Answered Siya for which Ram nods in agreement. 
SIYA- ram.. actually.. ek bat thi..
Said Siya suddenly gaining Ram's attention. 
RAM- ha.. kahiye.. what happened..?
SIYA- today.. before going, papa and chacha-ji said something regarding our business..
Ram looks at her in confusion.
RAM- about what ?
SIYA- they wanted to hand us everything.. matlab.. Rajrishi industries ka.. sab responsibilities...
Said Siya in a stammer while Ram just nodded waiting for her to continue..
SIYA- you don't want to say anything.?
RAM- I am waiting for your response..
Siya sighed and smile at him lightly.
SIYA- you are guessing it right.. I denied.. 
Said Siya with a smile while Ram nods at her proudly. 
SIYA- we don't need it Ram. Papa aur chacha-ji unki betiyon ke liye itna sochte hai yahi hamare liye bohot hai... 
Ram moves towards her and holds her from shoulder.
RAM- I knew it.. meri Siya kuch na kuch samajhdari wala kam hi karengi..
Ram praises her while Siya embrace him in a hug. 
SIYA- it's not any samajhdari wala kam.. it's just that. We are not thinking about these things right now. 
Said Siya releasing him with a smile and keeps the clothes in the cupboard. 
RAM- I'm cool with your decision. And I know other three will also be fine with this..
Said Ram with a smile and Siya nods at him in agreement. Suddenly the door knocks disturbing their talks. 
SHRUTI- dii.. 
Siya- yes Shruti...
Shruti enters the room and looks at both of them.
SHRUTI- meeting call..
Said Shruti while siya nods at her.
RAM- meeting..? This time.?
Asked Ram looking for the time and getting confused.
SIYA- ram.. though we are Rajrishi's daughters.. but work is work for us..
Ram pouts at her words and Shruti giggles at them.
SIYA- thode der me aayi.. aap so jayiye..
Siya smile and leaves from there while Ram nods in disbelief. His eyes falls on Kaushalya's photo at the wall. 
RAM- have you heard it maa.? What your Siya said.? 
Said Ram smiling in disbelief. He keeps his files aside and moves towards Kaushalya.
RAM- I know you are happy looking at us.. hai na ? 
Kranti was about to knock the door but stops witnessing Ram talking with Kaushalya.
RAM- maa.. I've read that letter you've left for my wife. And I hope I am fulfilling the duties you expected from me to do.. 
Kranti bows down hearing him. She was about to leave but stops when she heard Ram continuing.
RAM- and I hope I am fulfilling my other duties too. As a son.. specially as a brother... 
Ram smile looking at the smiling Kaushalya while Kranti looks other ways. 
RAM- aapki absence mujhe akela kar deti hai maa. But you've given me such a beautiful family.. kranti maa.. choti maa.. Bharat Lakshman and Shatrughan..
Kranti stares him without having any expressions. Ram smile thinking about them. Kranti was about to leave when she hits the door and Ram turns to look at her.
RAM- maa .??
Kranti looks at Ram as he moves towards her.
RAM- kuch kam tha.?
Asked Ram while Kranti nods denying. She looks at Kaushalya's photo and then at Ram.
KRANTI- you are missing your mother.?
Asked kranti making Ram a little surprised.
RAM- my maa is standing in front of me..
Said Ram folding his hands while Kranti gave him a light smile.
KRANTI- yes.. but... Kaushalya didi is your biological maa.. so...
Ram felt little bad hearing her words. Kranti observed his change of expressions. She wanted to apologise but was interrupted by Ram.
RAM- though she is my biological mother, but for me your place is above her. 
Said Ram with a smile. Kranti bows down feeling bad for her words. 
KRANTI- I... I will go... Tum so... Sojao...
Ram nods at her in agreement. She leaves from there while Ram kept on looking at her and thinking about her changed behavior...
