Priyankit after their pool and rain dance get into warm clothes after having a hot shower. Priyanka who is super sensitive to cold weather, catches cold and starts sneezing. Ankit though he enjoyed his time with Priyanka, felt guilty looking at her condition.
Pri goes to medical room and gets tablet which she had to take after her dinner. Meanwhile Anki prepares his speciality ginger tea and makes Priyanka have it. Pri could sense that Anki is feeling guilty as he is the one who insisted her to get into pool though the water was cool and followed by rain dance.

Pri- (pulling Anki's cheeks) Bachhiiii! Tera chehra kyu utra hua hai?

Anki- sorry yar

Pri- don't be. I wasn't forced to do what I did with you. I did it willingly. So I'm responsible for my condition. Don't be guilty. And it was my idea to get into the pool.

Anki still couldn't be at ease. His major worry was, if she doesn't recover by the time he leaves, who will take care of her? She will be low on energy and the housemates will take it as an advantage and start attacking her and she won't even have energy to fight back. Even if she fights back, she might fall more sick.

It was dinner time. Anki asks Pri to wait at the dining table and he goes to the kitchen to get food for them and returns with single plate.

Pri- why did you get food in single plate?

Anki- what sort of question is that? that is how we always eat right?

Pri- but I'm not well. I don't want to transfer you my viruses. I'll go get another plate.

Anki- tu idar chup chaap bait jaa. Nothing will happen to me. I've got very strong immunity.

Pri- touchwood

Pri leans forward and extends her hand to take her first bite from the plate. Anki stops her from touching food and he takes a piece of roti sabzi and starts feeding her. It was usually Pri who used to feed Anki. But this time it was Anki feeding her. She was enjoying how she was being pampered. She remembers her mom who used to feed her food whenever fell ill. Anki felt like family to her.

On the other hand Anki was doing all this for the first time to someone. He never knew taking care of someone can give so much pleasure. May be it is because it's not a random someone but it's Pri whom he is taking care of. He starts wondering how and why Pri is different from others and how can she make him feel the way which he never felt before. His thoughts were interrupted by Neha.

Neha- can we join you guys?
She comes with Gautam with their plates.

Gautam- #jorahi wants to have dinner with #FaTejo.. oh sorry #PriyAnkit.. sorry again #JanYa

Pri- ab yeh #JanYa kaun hai bhai?

Gautam- audience wants Udaariyan's Tanya and Junooniyat's Jahaan to unite

Pri- seriously? Is this all happening outside? Interesting.

Pri is happy that people still wants to see Anki and Pri together having no clue about the craze #PriyAnkit has outside the BB house. Neha was observing how adoringly Anki was feeding Pri. Pri was sort of insecure about Neha.

Neha- you both look so cute. No wonder why people are gaga over you guys.

Anki- of course we look cute together and thank you!

They all finish their dinner. Gautam and Neha goes to the kitchen to wash their plates. Pri kept on observing Neha and Ankit could sense Pri's insecurity.

Pri- Neha is beautiful
*with blank expression, still her eyes on Neha

Ankit- ki farak painda hai? You know that main apne me hi rehne wala ladka hoon

Pri- did I ask if you are interested in her? Why are you justifying yourself.
Pri is feeling insecure. And Ankit was just trying not to make her worry. Anki holds Pri's hands to get her attention.

Anki- sorry sorry. I feel you are the most beautiful girl. Beautiful inside out

He presses her hand giving assurance and smiles. Pri blushes and gently slaps Anki on his cheeks. Anki tries to lock her hands so that she won't hit him more.

Pri- dirty fellow. Don't touch me. You haven't washed your hands yet
And she runs away. She goes and sit on their green sofa hugging black and white checkered pillow. Anki washes his plate and comes to her.

Pri- will you not talk to everyone? You are with me since the time you are in the house. Go talk to him once at least.

Anki- no. They don't matter to me. Mujhe baat nahi karni.

Pri- Ankiiii
She pulls his cheeks adorably

Anki- you are not well already and you are sitting here in the cold. Come let's go to the bed and you still have to take tablet.

Pri- let's sit here just for a min.
She rests her head on his shoulder. Anki removes the pillow she was hugging and holds her in both hands, resting his head on her's. They both were remembering the moments they had spent on his sofa and this brought a wide smile on both of their faces.

Anki- let's go in. It's really cool here. I don't want you to fall more sick.

He stands and pulls Pari off the sofa and drags her to the bedroom. He makes her sit on the bed, gives her tablet and bottle. Priyanka takes her tablet and lays on the bed. Anki covers her with blanket and later he also gets into the same blanket.

Anki- abi tak lights off nahi hua hai. But you are not well. You can sleep I guess.

Pri- I don't want to sleep actually. Kal tu chala jayega.

Anki- for me the most important thing is you recovering asap. Warna I won't be at peace outside.

Pri- tu kaha soyega? Don't sleep here. I'm not well.

Anki- Pri yaar. I'm not able to sleep well these days. I'll be awake till 2:30-3 am checking Twitter/ Instagram and all. Hum saat me soyenge.

Pri- that's strange. Tu toh shooting days me bi shots ke beech me Power Nap leta tha. You can sleep anywhere and everywhere in no time. Ab kya hogaya? Pyar hua hai tuje?

Anki smiles and nods his head. Pri laughs and starts to play with Anki's hair like she always does.

Anki- ab tu chup chaap so ja. Recovery happens during sleep. So it's impt you sleep well. Tablet will also make you drowsy. Get a good night sleep.

He puts his hand under her head so that she can sleep on his arms. Pri turns sideways and rests her head on his chest, putting her hand on his stomach. Anki with the other hand starts running his fingers through her hair. Pri sleeps in no time. After a while Anki calls Pri's name, but there was no response. He realises that she is asleep. He slowly bends his face making sure not to disturb her to see the peacefully sleeping beauty lying in his arms. He couldn't resist and places a gentle kiss on her temple and smiles. Even he falls asleep in no time having Pri in his arms. After several days both slept peacefully throughout the night.
