After parking the car in the parking lot of the building, Arshi went upstairs to get home, when Ayan found them on the way ascending the stairs, Ayan excitedly pulled Arnav close to him, "Bhai come.. I want to show you something now."
As they were about to enter, Ayan gestured for them not to make any noise, so they silently went to the corner where the water tanks were located and hid behind them.
The three hiding behind three water tanks placed in a horizontal row, peeked to see what was in front of them as Ayan gestured for them to do so with a sly smile. Khushi was the first to quickly look away as she closed her eyes tightly, feeling embarrassed after what she saw.
Arnav and Ayan were busy looking at the scene and laughing silently. Arnav motioned for Ayan to take pictures and after Ayan finished, he silently jumped to the water tank side where Arnav was hiding, showing his brother, "Ye dekho bhai (Look at this)."
Arnav was still in disbelief, "Akash bhai itna naughty ho sakta hai ye toh maine socha hi nahi (I never thought Akash could be naughty like this). What the hell is he doing here?"
"I think he's trying to impress Payal didi," Ayan said. Both brothers peeked in to watch the scene again. Akash was standing next to the potted plants on the terrace, striking shirtless bodybuilder poses for Payal, his neighbor who lived in the building across the street, she was standing on her terrace, smiling, blushing and sending him flying kisses.
Arnav and Ayan laughed again after seeing Payal blowing flying kisses to Akash, who took her invisible kisses and kept them securely in his heart. They turned to leave now, as they might get caught by Akash, when they realized that Khushi had been looking at them all this time with
disapproving looks.
Arnav and Ayan composed themselves and became serious. They took her back to the staircase so they could talk properly without any fear of getting caught by Akash.
"Khushi please try to understand this is our opportunity to take revenge now. Mami insults and taunts us everytime as if we're good for nothing in this house. Akash is always the good guy and we're the bad ones in this family. Now this is a good opportunity to show to everyone that Akash is not that innocent as they think and to shut Mami's mouth directly by handling proofs to her about her son's not so innocent secret activities too," Arnav explained to her as they descended the stairs.
Khushi shook her head negatively, "Ye galat hai (this is wrong)."
"Khushi didi please.. jo humare saath hota hai voh bhi galat hai (what happens with us is wrong too)," Ayan cried.
"That doesn't mean you should take revenge on Akash bhai for it. Please think how embarrassed he would feel when you show these pictures to everyone at home," Khushi said disagreeing with them, "Please let's not do this to him."
Arnav and Ayan looked at each other for a minute as if thinking what to do. Arnav spoke first, "Okay.. galat hai yeh.. Ayan delete these pictures now."
Khushi sighed in relief, what she didn't notice was Arnav and Ayan communication through eyes as Arnav signaled Ayan to delete the pictures just to show Khushi but the pictures won't get deleted as they would be transferred to Deleted Recently folder in his phone and they could restore them at anytime.
Ayan did as Arnav said and showed his gallery to Khushi, "See.. I've deleted the pictures Khushi didi."
Khushi nodded acknowledgingly as she whispered, "Thank you."
Ayan smile innocently at her. When she left from there, Arnav and Ayan looked at each other smirking.
"We won't show these pictures to anyone at home," Arnav said.
