"Riya, yeh kya hai? Yeh toh Raj bhai ka kamara hai na?"
(Riya, what is this? This is Raj bhai's room right?)
"Chachu aap dekhte rahiye. Kye hai abhi pata chal jayega."
(Chachu just keep watching. Whatever it is will unfold really soon.)
The screen stayed still for a few seconds before the door to the room slightly opens, it was Shourya and Aarav. They enter as quietly as possible and gently close the door behind them, they stand near the door to block the exit.
"Aab yeh dono wahan kya kr rahe hai? If this is some sort of joke then. . ."
(Now what are these two doing there? If this is some kind of joke then. . ."
"No chachi, please keep watching. I'm sure you'll love this."
Meera gazes at Suman, giving her hand a squeeze for comfort, but her heart was also running a marathon.
The family watches the screen, the realisation sets in that things are serious. Rohan looks around for his wife. He couldn't find her, his palms start to sweat as he looks at Riya's smirk.
"Priya! Where's Priya?"
"I don't bhai, aapki biwi hai. You should know."
(She's your wife.)
"Yeh bag kaisa hai mere bed pr? Suman, tumne rakha hai kya?"
(What is this bag on my bed? Suman, did you put it there?)
Suman glances at Sunita Devi before shaking her head and turning back to the screen, followed by everyone else. The screen shows the brothers watching the wardrobe, everything was still on the screen and out of it too. Until there was a slight shuffle on the screen. A shadow, walks past the wardrobe entrance.
"Bhai, did you see that?" Neel asks his brother.
Raj nods his head, on the edge of his seat, his eyes not leaving the screen. And then the shadow passed again, before moving closer to coming inside the room. Then there it was. The person they've been waiting for, hands filled with jewellery and expensive sarees. They were huddled close to the person's chest, shining in the dim light resent in the dark room. Shourya's hand moves to the light, turning it on to reveal the culprit.

"Priya?"
"Yeh gehne toh. . . ."
(This jewellery is. . . .)
"Suman, yeh toh tumne Meera aur Riya ke liye hai na?"
(Suman, you got these for Meera and Riya right?)
"J-ji."
(Y-yes.)
"Wha-"
The screen shows Priya's steps stalling as she drops the items on the bed, the audience can't hear anything but it's obvious that she was trying to explain. Her hands flailing around, her steps retreating, the colour of her face draining. The Singhania's stand up and move towards the room.
