In the evening. Akshar, Vardan, Shravan, and Harsh are walking on a beach.

Akshar: Whose idea was it to come to this area?

Harsh: You forgot again?

Vardan: Mine. Why?

Akshar: Tonight, I will make some delicious food for you. Actually, it's therapy.

Harsh: Right. Thank goodness we had a villa around here.

Akshar: It's mine. (Harsh hits Akshar's head.) Dad!

Harsh: You are flaunting in front of your Dad?! Did you forget who raised you?

Akshar: Sorry. But mom raised me.

Harsh: You...

Shravan: Okay, enough! We hardly had this time of togetherness. So, don't ruin it, boys.

Akshar, Harsh: Sorry.

Vardan: Look at the front.

They are coming towards the villa. Everyone looks at the terrace at the front where an arrangement was for sitting. There Gajraj and Tara are playing with Tushar and Tuhi is unpacking the food.

Akshar: Tuhi is unpacking the food.

Harsh: You idiot!

Akshar: Why?

Vardan: Nothing.

Shravan: It just feels magical seeing someone with Naina.

Harsh: Yeah. Isn't this scene unimaginable?

Shravan: (Shivering voice.) But here it is.

Vardan: I have a question.

Akshar: Don't ask. I am not Naina who will give you an answer calmly.

Shravan: No, dear. Ask.

Vardan: Why can't Mom marry him right away?

Akshar: Because she doesn't want to give you another person to call Dad. (Everyone smiles.)

Vardan: Brother!

Harsh: You will understand it later.

Vardan: Why later?

Harsh: Did you start volleyball when you were 2 years old?

Vardan: No.

Harsh: Just like that, there is time needed to understand emotions too.

Vardan: Okay.

Shravan: Let's hurry. I am hungry.

Everyone has been chatting for a long time. Tuhi and Tushar fall asleep, whom Akshar holds in his arms and takes to the room. Shravan and Vardan went into their room as they were also feeling sleepy. Tara falls asleep on Gajraj's shoulder while Harsh is clearing the floor.

Uncle, what should I do? She is in deep sleep.

Stay with her here for tonight. She is sleeping peacefully after a long time. (Harsh clears the trash and sits with them.)

Uncle!

Hmm.

What did you mean after a long time?

Do you believe in fate?

Yeah.

It wasn't until I met you.

I don't understand.

(Smiles.) Until I met you, the person who is made for my nephew and who has fallen in love with her too.

Why didn't you believe it before? Isn't that the way you guys got saved?
