It was Sunday morning. Everyone at Poddar House was busy chatting with each other. Armaan Abhira came down had there seats. Everyone were having breakfast.

Krish said, "Yr bhayya bhabhi Aaj bahar chalte hai n. Waise bhi aaj Sunday hi hai."

"Haa bhabhi, bohot din ho gaye hum log bahar chill krne nahi gaye. Aaj chalte hai n." Kiara pleaded with pouting.

"Haa bhayya, mujhe bi Jana hai. Fir sab busy ho jayenge kal firse." Charu complained.

Everyone began to look at them.

When Manisha said, "Ye kya bachpana hai beta. Tumhare bhayya bhabhi bhi kitne busy rehte hai, unko Aaj Jake thoda rest krne ka mauka mila hai, aur tum log ho ki..."

"Are nahi nahi Chachisa, it's alright. Waise to mujhe bhi bahar jane ki wish thi so.... Koi baat nahi hai.. hum chale jayenge." Abhira consoled. And Manisha smiled with others.

"Armaan tujhe nahi jana kya?" Kajol asked mockingly.

"Are kajal tum bhi kise puch rahi ho. Ab Abhira jayegi to hamara Armaan thodi ghar baitha rahega?" Manoj said.

"Sahi kaha tumne Manoj. Armaan mai kaha itna dum jo Abhira ko mana kare." Madhav said playfully. Everyone laughed.

Armaan became visibly embarrassed. He began to scratch the back of his head and said.

"Aisi koi baat nahi hai. Mai... Wo .... Mai mana kyu karunga.... Mujhe bhi bahar jana tha... Itne din ho gye hai... Ghar ka khana kha kha ke bore ho gya hu... And I'm not saying because of Abhira...." Armaan began to baffle. Everyone laughed at him except Vidya. She somehow didn't take it lightly when Armaan said he was bored with eating the same food everyday.

"Haa haa ab bahane banana band kr. Hume sab pata hai." Manisha said mockingly.

"Are Chachisa aap Abhira se puchiye. Usi ne kaha tha, wo ghar ka khana kha ke bore ho gyi thi..."

"Aeee... Jhoote maine aisa nahi kaha Chachisa. Armaan... Mai tumhe.." Abhira defended herself.

"Maine nahi isne kaha tha."

"Nahi maa I swear,  Armaan is lying." They both began bickering and blaming each other. Everyone laughed.

"Tum dono bacho ki tarah jhagadna band kro aur khana khalo pahele." Dadisa said seriously. Everyone stopped laughing and began to eat.

After some time it was decided that Armaan Abhira along with chorus gang will go for outing.

It was 5:30 pm, since it was late winters the sky had already turned blackish blue shade. It seemed like they were late. Then again they all were being ready when suddenly Armaan said,

"Are Rohit kaha hai? Use bhi sath le chalte hai n"

"Haa acha idea hai. Kiara Rohit bhayya kaha hai dekho jara, aur unse puchna wo chal rahe hai ya nahi" Abhira said. Kiara ran away. When Vidya stopped her saying she will call him.

Meanwhile Rohit was in his room. Going through some files trying to concentrate on his work. He suddenly got a call, it was from a client of the case he was currently working.

"Yes Mr Mathur. Mai abhi apko call krne hi wala tha sir..."

"Mr Rohit Poddar let me get this straight, aap hamara case sambhal payenge ya nahi. Saaf saaf kahiye please."

"Haa Mr Mathur. Ofcourse sir aap aisa kyu keh rahe hai."

"Pichle 2 dino se hum aapko reach out krne ki koshish kr rahe hai. Aap beave aise kr rahe hai as if you are not interested. Agar aisa hi tha to pahele kehna tha. Waise bhi humane aapki firm ko ye case isiliye diya tha kyu ki hume laga case important hai to Mr Armaan Poddar handle krenge."
