Thahaan's room
Thapki was ironing their clothes for tomorrow so that they would not be late tomorrow.
Bihaan: You are wearing a saree tomorrow. You will take a lot of time to get ready then. Why don't you wear something simpler?
Thapki placed the saree on the bed.
Thapki: I am not the one who takes a lot of time to get ready.
Bihaan: Yes yes. It's me who take more time. Now keep this saree elsewhere. I want to sleep.
Thapki: Two minutes. I'll iron your shirt, and then keep them on the sofa.
Dhruv's room
Dhruv was watching the video again. Aditi looked in so much pain. He had not ever thought to see her in this state. She could not even move out of the bed. Dhruv feared that she was being drugged. Else, the Aditi he knew would not stay like this. She would have tried to escape. Some days more and all her sufferings will be over.
23:30
Balcony
Thapki came there and saw Bihaan standing there alone and lost in his thoughts.
Thapki: You're not asleep yet. Want some tea?
Bihaan: There is only one mug. It's okay, you can drink it.
Thapki: If I knew you were awake I would have make one cup for you. You can take some sips from mine.
Thapki handed the mug to him.
Bihaan: Thank you.
Bihaan took a sip.
Bihaan: You did not put sugar in it.
Thapki: There was hardly any sugar left after making the kids' milk. I thought I will open a new packet in the morning.
Bihaan: Take it. I want something sweeter.
He smiled naughtily at Thapki.
Thapki: Don't look at me like this. You won't get anything from me.
Bihaan: I am your poor husband, tired, nervous and worried about tomorrow but my wife is not doing anything for me. That's not fair.
Thapki: What are you talking about? You don't look that worried. And being nervous is normal. Even I am. My husband is also not doing anything for me.
Bihaan kept looking at Thapki cutely while she was finishing her tea. Thapki started to go from there when Bihaan stopped her.
Bihaan: You won't give it.
Thapki smiled and gave him a deep kiss on his cheek. She tried to go from there again but Bihaan stopped her again by pulling her and giving her a back hug. Only they know how long they stayed there.
Morning
PN
Dhruv was about to leave when Bihaan called him from behind.
Bihaan: Dhr...
Dhruv: Don't worry. I'll be on time but right now I have some urgent work to do.
He then left from there.
Preeti: Where is Dhruv devarji going. It's still 7 o'clock.
Preeti(looking at Bihaan): You're already ready. Where are you going?
Bihaan: Office. We still have to check some things.
Preeti: Don't become like your brother. Or you will also not be seen at home.
Bihaan: He is busy these days. Else he would also be there.
Preeti: Did you see Ashwin? He said that he had to talk to you.
Bihaan: No. I'll meet him before leaving.
Bihaan searched for Ashwin and found him in the garden with Sanjay.
Ashwin: Here he is. Come Bihaan. Before you went, we wanted to give you something.
Ashwin gave him a small Ganesh.
Ashwin: Place it somewhere in your Juniors' news.
Bihaan: You bought this.
Ashwin: Yeah. Actually it's Dadima who told us to buy and give this to you. Indirectly that is her gift to you. Don't tell her that we told you this.
Bihaan: Okay I won't say anything to her. Okay, bye. We'll meet in the evening.
Bihaan went from there.
Sanjay: I had never imagined Bihaan will be this eager for this business.
Ashwin: No one could have thought something like this will happen.
8:15
Unknown building
Saurav: Why are you so late? We had planned to come at eight o'clock. This publisher is very strict about the timing.
Thapki: We reached before 8:30.
Saurav: Let's not wait our time. Dad is already upstairs talking to the one in charge of the launch.
Saurav: By the way, thanks. After yesterday Dad is talking normally to me. Your plan indirectly helped me too. But I know him. He might not say sorry even if he wants to. Please, if possible behave normally towards him as if nothing has happened.
Hall
Mr. Gupta: You two are looking really good. This is the first time I'm seeing you like this. Saree and suit.
Mr. Gupta(seeing them nervous): It's always like this for the first time. There is nothing to worry about. I still remember when the first time Saurav had taken the responsibility of handling the work of a client. He was so nervous. Now look how confident he is.
Man responsible for the launch: So, I'm finally meeting the persons behind this magazine. Got to say that you have put a lot effort in that. I'm pretty sure that it will not take long before the magazine becomes famous. Let's start a new journey. Best luck.
Dhruv's office
Lawyer: Do you mind if I ask you something?
Dhruv: What?
Lawyer: Why do you want to transfer this channel to someone else? You have never mentioned about doing this before. What happened suddenly that you are doing this?
Dhruv: Errr... I got an offer that I cannot refuse. Don't worry. Only the ownership will change. The rest will stay the same.
