Everyone is seated at the breakfast table while Bela and Sumitra are serving them. Bela finds it weird seeing everyone looking at her and Mahir with a cute smile. She looks at Mahir asks him in sign what happened to which he shrugs his shoulders denying.

Bela: Maa, today everyone is looking happy. Any good news?

Neha: Not yet but we are sure we will hear a good news very soon.

Hearing Neha, Vikram, Andy and Sumitra chuckle while the confused Behir look at each other and then at the four parents.

Mahir: What happened Mom? Why are you all laughing so much?

Sumitra: You will get your answer very soon. (Looking at Pari) Pari, where is your father's phone?

Mahir: How will she know about my....

Mahir stops speaking when he recalls how Pari took one of the phones kept on the side table near bed to take pictures and ran away with the phone from the room. He realises that now those pictures are leaked and everyone is interested in teasing the couple. He looks at Sumitra with shock who smirks at him. He then pleads her with eyes saying No but she shrugs her shoulders off.

Sumitra: Now I have nothing in my hands. You should have thought before the pictures went viral.

Bela: What pictures? What are they talking about, Mahirji?

Mahir: No.... Nothing... I ... I will leave for office.

Bela: You haven't eaten anything. You will fall sick. Finish your breakfast.

Sumitra (controlling her smile) : Yes Mahir, eat or else you will fall weak. You have so many works to do all day and night.

Mahir holds his head trying to hide his blush and then runs away from the table after signing Bela to follow him. Mahir goes to his room and waits. Bela reaches there two minutes later.

Bela: What is going there Mahirji?

Mahir: Ok... I don't know how to say this... But...

His gaze falls on his phone kept near the bed. He opens the gallery and then shows their pictures to Bela who widens her eyes while her cheeks start turning red.

Bela: This... These pictures? Who took it? And when?

Mahir then tells her the morning incident how Pari took their pictures and then showed it to everyone.

Bela closes her mouth and then turns away in shyness. Mahir goes in front of her and holds her hands.

Mahir: I am sorry... I didn't know she will show these pictures to our parents.

Bela: No its fine... I mean obviously you didn't think she will do that... But how are we going to face them?

Mahir: Exactly!

Bela ( faking anger) : What exactly? You will go to your work and escape all these easily. Now I have to stay here and face them. I don't know what they will think and how....

Cutting her words in between, Mahir pecks Bela's cheek and whispers in her ears by leaning towards her.

Mahir: We are husband and wife. So its ok. Don't worry. I will come home early today.

He moves back and winks at her while Bela turns the darkest shade of red. He leaves for his office. Bela sits on the bed feeling shy. After few minutes, she hears knock on the door and looks there to find Neha with a plate of breakfast.

Bela: Yes Ma... Come in.

Neha enters the room, sits beside Bela and then forwards her the plate.

Neha: I am happy for you, Bela. This is what we wanted you to do. We all are really happy. Mahir is perfect for you.

Bela nods in yes. Neha then makes Bela eat her breakfast and leaves the room with the plate. Bela lies on the bed recalling all the sweet moments they shared since morning.
