DevTa and ShiVi go out shopping. While the girls head to the makeup section, Dev pulls Shiva aside to show him a bracelet he wants to buy for Rishita. Shiva hesitantly wonders if he should get something for Raavi. He picks up a necklace with a simple but classy half moon pendant, unsure if this is something she will wear.
Dev, after finally settling on a bracelet for Rishita chuckles next to him. He tells Shiva this pendant is too simple and girls like shiny jewelry. Dev picks out a more intricate neckpiece and shows it to Shiva. He tells him that Raavi would definitely like this and he should get it.
Shiva, a bit upset tells him to drop the idea all together and that MKBKB doesn’t need gifts from him. Dev insist that they buy gifts for both of their wives. How will Raavi feel when Rishita gets her gift? He asks out loud.
Shiva reluctantly buys the necklace. A part of him can’t stop thinking about the difference between the two pieces. Maybe that’s why Raavi wants someone like Dev. He couldn’t even pick a proper gift for her. Still a part of him wondered if she would like the pendant. Something about that piece stood out to him in a store full of shiny and loud jewelry. There was a strange appeal to it .
The brothers walk towards the door when Shiva feels restless and uncomfortable. He asks Dev to wait outside and goes back in.
The four do some more shopping and head home after an early dinner. In the evening, Shiva hesitantly looks at the necklace Dev forced him to buy. He hates how shiny and flashy it is. There is no reason to give it a second look. But if it’s Raavi choice, so be it. He keeps it on the bedside table, hoping to avoid Raavi’s questioning look as to why he got her a gift.
Shiva reaches in his pocket and pulls out the pendant that caught his eye earlier. A lone tear escapes as he acknowledges that Raavi will never wear something so simple.
He caressed the piece and keeps it hidden inside the cupboard, with no intention of ever giving it to her.
The next morning he wakes up to find the necklace beside the side table missing from its spot. A bitter laugh escapes his throat as he prepares himself for a long day.
After taking a shower, he walks back into his room to see Raavi holding the pendant with a smile on her face. She looks up at him and her eyes light up instantly. Shiva is shocked as she twirls around him in happiness yelling how much she loves his surprise. Raavi tells Shiva that she saw a similar piece a long time back but wasn’t sure if it would suit her. Since then, she regrets not getting it. She pulls him into a hug, thanking him over and over while Shiva stands rooted to the spot.
