Mehak and all Sharmas are doing pooja and praying to Mata Rani. Kc does the aarti and gives it to Mehek. Mehek takes the Aarti and turns to PD and seeks her blessings so that her first day at jon will be good. PD tells Mehek why only today, her every day will be rocking and just like her Yusufs movies she will celebrate a golden jubilee in her career and they both hug happily while the entire family smiles at them. Dadaji is standing there with his head bowed down and looks dejected. Mehek goes to him and touches his feet, he holds her, says not to do it and he is the one who has to touch her feet, he has always mistreated her. Mehek makes him sit and she herself kneels down and asks Dadaji not to think so, Dadaji asks Mehek to let him speak today, for years he has hated her and the family members tried to convince him but he didn't listen to anyone and forced Mehek to marry the cheater (Ajay) and it was his biggest mistake in life and what if Mehek had got to married to that fellow, Mehek's life would have been destroyed for ever. Mehek consoles him saying that it did not happen na, looks at Maata Rani and says they all have blessing of Mata Rani and asks him not to worry about it. All others agree with Mehek. Mehek tells Dadaji that his hand will rise only to bless her. Dadaji agrees, they both get up and Mehek keeps his hand on her head and asks him to bless her fast as she is getting late and he does saying his blessings are always with her and she'll get it even without asking. They both hug while the entire Sharma family looks on contentedly and happily.
KC comes to Mehek and gives her Prasad and a spoonful of curd n sugar for good luck as it is her first day at work. Mehek take blessings from other elders too and hugs her siblings and they wish her all the best in chorus. JC tells that he and RC will go and drop Mehek at her work place. Mehek says no and she is not going to school but to office and that she'll go on her own and asks them to go to their shops. PD says her laddo is all grown up now and KC tells Mehek to have lunch on time and not to forget about it being in work. Hugs Mehek and Mehek leaves for her work, alone.
Mehek is trying to stop auto rickshaw but they just go through. A car comes and stops in front of Mehek and it's Shaurya in the car. Mehek is surprised to see him. Shaurya wishes her a "Good morning but Mehek is unable to speak and just acknowledges his greeting. Shaurya asks Mehek she must be wondering what he's doing there, she must remember that he did not give her lift when she was almost late getting to ISC competition and to compensate that her Maata Rani has sent him here, today. Mehek just listens to all this without much of a reaction and is about to turn away, Shaurya tells her that first impression is the last impression and he doesn't want her to be late on her first day of her job and requests Mehek to get into the car. Mehek is sceptical about it and he insists Mehek to sit in the car. Mehek complies and gets into the car. Shaurya gives out his signature smirk and the audio player in the car starts playing "Aapke aankhon mein kuch... Mehek is sitting with her head down and Shaurya keeps looking at her while driving the car. After a while Mehek looks at him and they stare at each other. They both reach KD's restaurant "Delite Grand Hotel. Shaurya stops the car and tells Mehek that they have reached Mehek's destination. Mehek thanks him and is about to get down, he stops her saying that the color she is wearing looks very good on her and she looks very beautiful, Mehek is all flustered hearing this and Shaurya holds her hand and asks her if she is all right, her hand is very cold. Mehek replies it's due to cold weather. Shaurya asks her to look and him and tells that KD is very lucky to have her in his team, tells her to go and weave the magic of her hands (cooking), holds her hand about and is about to kiss Mehek's hand. Mehek snatches her hand and Shaurya is like "what the... Wishes Mehek all the best and asks her to go. Mehek gets down from the car and on her way to her workplace, stops and looks back at Shaurya and her hand. Shaurya is looking at her with a slight smile, Mehek looks all confused and again looks back at Shaurya and goes away from there.
KD is on phone with Svethlana and wishes her Good morning. Svethlana is on the swing with a piping hot cup of tea/coffee and asks KD how is he felling being a step ahead of Shaurya Khanna. KD tells her to wait and watch to see what happens next and that he is just going to meet his newly appointed staff. Svethlana says good and his morning will be more good after this and says superb and that he nailed it and they have to celebrate this victory tonight and asks what does he think. KD agrees and to this she remarks they'll wine and dine, they both agree meet and say their byes. Svethlana cuts the call and says now she has someone who can fight with him, challenge him and that she'll beat Shaurya in his own game.
KD comes and meets his new staff, Mehek is also there and they are all in proper Chef attire.His Secretary Shalini introduces him to the newly recruited staff. Tells the staff that there now will be an ice breaking event, KD stops her and says normal is boring, they'll not do the routine and that he has a suggestion and as they all know that it's fusion food restaurant, they have to prepare one dish with a good presentation which he can put on the menu next day. Asks them to go ahead and they have the entire kitchen to themselves and wishes them best of luck. Mehek starts preparing her dish along with others and KD looks at her from outside the closed doors. His Secretary comes with the new employees list and gives it to KD. He reads their details and says "Mehek Sharma ", Shalini says she is their direct recruit and she was one of the top contestant of ISC. KD asks her if she is the same slapping fiasco girl Mehek Sharma and Shalini says yes, it's the same girl. KD looks at Mehek who is giving final touches to her dish.
Mehek finishes her work and comes out of the hotel. Sees Shaurya parked outside the hotel, ignores him and goes in search of an auto rickshaw and keeps glancing at Shaurya. Shaurya is looking at her efforts to ignore him with exasperation. Mehek stops an auto and asks the driver if he'll go to Chandini Chowk. Keeps her handbag and is about to sit, an angry Shaurya gets down from his car and comes there, pulls her back and tells Mehek that it' easy to ignore. Says he has been waiting there since morning and she is ..(ignoring him). Mehek questions him why was he waiting for her, did she ask him to and asks him to leave her hand, she is getting late and needs to go home. Shaurya tells her that it sure will be late if she goes away ??!!!! Mehek asks him what is he upto since yesterday, he came home and said nothing, even though he wants her to work for him, he didn't say so and even in his restaurant he was speaking in riddles like what do you know what I want etc etc. She is unable to understand his cryptic language and asks him to leave her alnone and let her go home as it is getting late. Shaurya acts funny and says to Mehek why, you wanna go home, I wanna go too and even he has to go home and shows the auto driver. Driver looks almost irritated at their banter. Shaurya continues and says before you go let's have a cup of coffee. Mehek denies that she doesn't like coffee, Shaurya asks her to have tea instead and he wants to know how her first day at work was. Mehek tells him that it's getting late and she has to go home and questions him why does he want to know about her day and Shaurya replies sweetly that he wants to know. Mehek looks shocked hearing this.
Auto driver calls Mehek, bhabhiji and asks her if she wants to go with in the auto or wants to go with bhaiyya (Shaurya). Mehek asks him be quiet and that she'll go along with him in two minutes. Turns towards Shaurya and tells him that just because she is single now, he can't take his chances with her and she won't go for coffee with him. Shaurya says "you know what, few things cannot be spelt out, one has to feel it in their heart (kuch batein na zuban se bataya nahi jaate bus dil se mehasoos karna hote hai). Warns ehek that if she goes away, he'll never come to her again, never again. Mehek gives him looks and asks if he is done with his dialogue baazi and she is not mad to come running back to him, no way. Shaurya leaves his hold on her hand and pushes her back and asks Mehek to go and promises her that she'll come running to him in the next 24 hours. Mehek stares at him, turns back and gets inside the auto. Driver calls her Bhabhiji again and asks her where to go. Meherk is angry at this and warns him not to call her Bhabhiji, tells him to drive straight ahead and if he has to take a turn, she'll let him know and looks at Shaurya who is smiling at her in anger. Auto moves and Mehek keeps looking at Shaurya who is looking at smiling away thru' mirror and is actually feeling bad for her own behaviour, for him, for her. We have beautiful Darmiyaan song in the background.
Shaurya comes home and seems to be in angry mood. Karuna Maa calls him, but he doesn't listen to her and goes straight to his room. Throws his phone on the bed, removes his coat and takes the timer in his hand and keeps looking at it, remembers how Mehek denied his coffee offer and went away in the auto. Karuna Maa comes there and teases him, says "Hello Mr Busy Businessman, where is he lost these days, doesn't even hear his Maa's voice calling out for him and asks him what's the matter. Shaurya says it's nothing, few people sit on our heads if given much importance., settles on his bed and starts removing his shoes. Karuna Maa is worried hearing his words and asks him if everything is ok and what happened today. Asks his Mom to say something. Karuna tells him when we come home we wipe our feet on the door mat so that outside dirt remains outside doesn't end up inside the house, asks him to come home with a clean heart and when he brings home his outside worries, even her mood turns bad along with his. Shaurya asks her to forgive him and that he was thinking on something. Tells his Mom that he has thrown away all his anger and smiles, gets up and hugs Karuna Maa. Asks his Mom what he can do for her, take her on a pilgrimage or for shopping. Karuna Maa says "marriage (shaadi). Shaurya shows his exasperation. Karuna Maa tells him that her friend Sudha who stays in US is coming to India next week. Shaurya jokes saying isn't Sudha's age bit more for him. Karuna scolds him not to change the subject and she is talking about Sudha's daughter, Nikita and will he meet her. Shaurya bows to his Mom and does namaskar ana says no way, he doesn't want to marry, these girls are very confusing, even if you give up your life for them, they will not acknowledge it, if possible they'll make a hole in your brain, put a straw and suck the entire blood and will not even burp after that. Karuna Maa laughs and asks him if he had a fight with someone. Shaurya says, fight, with whom will he fight, he is not some vagabond or a good for nothing fella to park his vehicle outside and fight. Karuna Maa smiles and says something has definitely happened today, SHaurya is silent on this.
Mehek comes home and is in deep thoughts. KC sees her and shouts o everyone in the household that Mehek has come. All Sharmas come running to her and start questing about her job, her work and the about the people at restaurant, how they were etc etc . Nehal questions Mehek if it is better than Ratan Chacha's Dhaba, Ravi Chachu asks Mehek will they get staff discount if they go to eat at her restaurant. PD tells Mehek that they'll get her a gearless two wheeler so that she need not struggle about her movements. Mohit asks her if her boss is cool and not a head strong fella.Insists Mehek to speak as he came early from his college to hear all about her first day at work. All keep bombarding Mhek with their questions who is in her own world and has not listened to a single word they spoke.
Mehek suddenly gets back to the real world and screams to stop the nonsense. JC asks everyone to stop talking. JC tells them that Mehek is tensed as she went to work today, did not sit at the Billing counter Mehek regains her senses and asks everyone sorry individually. KC is reprimanding her silently. Mehek tells them that she was not screaming at them, her mind was elsewhere. JC asks her if she had some tussle with people at work and Dadaji tells her if she doesn't feel good about the people at the work place, she can discontinue her job, now they have learnt a lesson along with her that if there is no connect, relationships don't work. RC tells them that he has heard about KD and he is a good person and has won best employer award the previous year from Delhi Traders Association, so the place must be congenial. Mehek assures them that the place is good and people are also good, it's just that as it was her first day at work, there was more work pressure and she got tired because of that and asks them if can go upstairs and rest, don't know why she screamed at them. KC is keenly observing Mehek, not believing her words. KC tells her it's ok, not her fault, but it's their madness, she(Mehek) came home tired and they didn't ask her if she wants water or tea but started asking her questions, tells Mehek to go and take rest. Screen splits on a remorseful Mehek and a restless Shaurya.
