After leaving the Mansion and driving their car around for a bit Mahesh and Angel park their car next to an open, grassy field that leads to the jungle. With Tuffy wagging her tail between them, they begin taking a leisurely stroll.
Mahesh glances at Angel. As usual, she looks happy to spend some time between them but she must probably be worried about Ishika.
"I'm so worried! Ishika ko weird dreams aate rehte hai!" Angel says, speaking her thoughts out loud. She's not someone who can keep it all inside. "Ab hum yaha is ajeeb si jagah par hai. Pata nahi kya hoga. Mujhe usko akele nahi chodna hai wahan, Mahi! Especially jab Naman us ghar me ho!"

Mahesh sighs. He doesn't know what Angel's problem is, and why she doesn't trust Naman, but he agrees with her. This mansion, this place is strange. His head hurts constantly after coming here. Does this mean he should be fearful too?
He looks at Angel and Tuffy who are both acting cheerful now. He is not worried about himself, but he's worried for these priceless angels next to him. He's worried about his beloved, his friends and everyone in the SFTU. And he's also worried about his Dad. Of course, he can't speak his mind to Angel and worry her more.
Angel is trying to be extra cheerful that she's dashing forward fast. He holds her by the arm.

"Let's slow down okay!" Mahesh says as she looks at him with wide eyes. "Ishika will be fine. Once mera dost yaha aa jaye, toh wo kabhi akeli nahi hogi. Aur waise bhi, wo akeli nahi hai abhi bhi, humare staff hai remember?"
Angel nods. Yes, she knows they have come here with a few assistants but how good are they against the supernatural? She looks at Mahesh who's now smiling at her.
"Relax, yaar! Tum humesha aisi chapad-chapad karti rehti ho! Achanak aise serious na bano! Aur please, aise don't force yourself to act cheerful. That's even worse."
Angel smiles a little. Mahesh always sees through her act. This is proof of their bond. In moments like these, she feels hopeful, and she feels that he treasures her.
