The episode starts in the living room of the Goenka Villa. 

The men are hanging out there, while the ladies are gathered in the function hall on the second floor for the Teej Puja.

The scene shifts to Kartik

He is with Manish and Akhilesh. The three of them are discussing something related to business. Just then thundering strikes all of a sudden, startling the three of them.

Akhilesh: Aaj kal mausam kab bigad jaye, kuch pata nahi chalta...subah se tezz dhoop thi, ab dekho baarish shuru ho gayi...(sips juice)

Manish(looking around): Sahi keh rahe ho Akhilesh...

Just then, Akhilesh notices Kartik lost in his thoughts.

He wasn't even participating much in the conversation. He was just nodding his head at everything or pointing out a few things here and there. Nothing more than that. He didn't seem as cheerful as he usually does.

Akhilesh: Kartik...kya hua beta...dopeher se dekh raha hoon tera mood thoda off lag raha hai...

Kartik raises his gaze and looks at Akhilesh with a blank face.

Manish(doubtfully): Naira se jhagda - wagda kar liya hai kya tumne? Uska bhi mood shaam se theek nahi lag raha...kya chal raha hai tum dono ke beech?

Akhilesh: Kuch hua hai toh bata de hume...hum inn sab maamlo mein zyada experienced hain...acchi advice denge...(to Manish) hai na bhaisaab?

Manish(agreeing): Yess...you can count on us.

Kartik looks at both of them for some time, then sighs.

Kartik: Aisa kuch nahi hai...I'm just a little worn out.

Manish(nodding): Haan woh toh tum dikh hi rahe ho...

Kartik(diverting the topic): Papa...woh Mumbai wale project ka kya hua?

Manish: Maine wahan ke heads se baat kar li hai...they are considering to partner with us...however, it is still in talks...(sighs) ho sakta hai tumhe Mumbai jaana pade to discuss the terms with them...lekin usme time hai abhi...(sips his juice)

Kartik nods and turns his face away. 

Akhilesh: Waise Kartik...

Kartik turns to him.

Akhilesh: Woh vendor ka kya hua jisne tumhe baar baar call karke pareshan kar rakha tha?

Kartik: Woh issue ab resolve ho gaya hai chachu...aaj dobara phone aaya tha uska...iss baar maine dhamka diya usey...I don't think woh dobara call karega...

Akhilesh nods and sips his juice.

Kartik stands there for some more time, then makes an excuse -

Kartik: I'll be right back...

Saying this, he walks away hurriedly. Manish and Akhilesh are perplexed by his behavior.

Manish(concerned): Something's definitely wrong with him...

Akhilesh: Even I feel so...lekin woh kuch bataye tab na kuch kare hum...

Manish sighs in defeat and stares blankly at the retreating figure of his son.
