Lakshmi laughs and takes Rishi to the living room where everyone had calmed down and were waiting for the food
Lalkshmi made Rishi sit down on one of the chairs and went to the kitchen to see the state of dinner
"Jaldi karo Shalu Bani, sab wait kar rahe hain, sabko bhook lagi hui hai" Lakshmi says, joining in
"Sabko ya jiju ko?" Shalu asks, teasing her
"Chup kar" She says, trying not to blush, and then takes the 6 rotis to the dining table where everyone was staring at Rishi, trying to understand his feelings
"Us bichare ko taadna band karo sab, khao Rishi" Lakshmi says, gigling
Rishi nods in a no, and tries to get up, but Lakshmi makes him sit down again
"Di, tu bhi jiju ke saath bhet ja, hum bana lenge" Shalu suggests, coming to the dinner table with 4 more rotisher
"Are nahi, main chalti hoon na" Lakshmi says, but Shalu made her sit down
"Tune subha ki chai pee hui hai bas, chup karke bhet jaa" Shalu says, and goes back to the kitchen
Lakshmi serves Gurucharan and Nani, and then sits back down to plate Rishi's food
Ayush smiles at them, and so does nani, she had softened up after seeing Rishi supporting his wife, and wanted the best for her, even if it meant sending her back home with Rishi
While Lakshmi was plating Rishi's food, Rishi kept looking around, trying not to make eye contact with Gurucharan chacha; he was ashamed of himself
He pulled Lakshmi closer ever so slightly and whispered in her ear
"Tum ache se kha lo, main andar jaa raha hun" He says, before getting up and left
Lakshmi questions him, but then, when she looks at Gurucharan staring at him, she understands why he left
"Chacha ji, usse khana toh khane dete" She says, taking the food plate to the room
"Amma ji, ye phirse meri beti ko phasana chahta hai, dekhe ab tak Lakshmi ko iska khayal hai" Gc says
"Nahi puttar, kya pata woh badal chukka ho, uski aankhon main maine Lakshmi puttar ke liye pyar aur izzat dekhi hai, tum fikar mat kar, jo inki kismat main likha hai, wohi hoga" Nani says, making Ayush smile at her
"Tere daant kyun khil rahe hain, khana kha aur apne bhai ko samjha, ke meri beti ki jaan chod de" GC says to Ayush, he embarassingly looks down
Shalu comes back and supports him
"Chacha ji, usne kuch nahi kiya, ap usko kyun suna rahe hain" Shalu says, disappointing him even more
RishMi's room
"Tum wahan se kyun andar aagaye, Rishi tumne subha se kuch nahi khaya, please" Lakshmi says, placing the food plate on the side table
Rishi tears up again, he felt ashamed, he didn't know how he could be so dumb, how did he not fall in love with her, how did he think the relationship he and Malishka shared was love
Malishka hadn't called him once to ask him where he was; she didn't care about him, and then there was Lakshmi, who always made him her first priority
Lakshmi sees the tears forming in his eyes and holds his hand
"Tum ro kyun rahe ho, itni bhook lagi hai tumhe?" She says, giggling
"Main tumhare layak hi nahi hun Lakshmi, kaisy mujhe tumse pyaar nahi hua pehle, tum hamesha khud se pehle mere baare main sochti ho, humesha mujhe khush karne ki khaatir, khud ki khushi ko nazar andaz karti ho" Rishi starts, making Lakshmi tear up
He continues to melt her heart with his emotional words, and in the end he says
"I...I love you Lakshmi, main pyaar karne laga hun tumse, tum mere liye bohut khaas ho, finally I realized, please mera yakeen karo, mujhe aik chance de do Lakshmi please!" He begs her
Lakshmi felt bad for him, she tightens her hold on Rishi's hand and hugs him
He tightens it, crushing their bodies as if they had merged into one
"I love you Lakshmi...I love you...I love you" He states, hugging her with passion and zest
Lakshmi breaks down completely and hugs him tight, having both her hands stuck on his back
