The episode begins with shaurya talking on the phone , looking busy and restless .
Palki comes to him and says gently , "Shaurya, breakfast is ready . Come and eat ."
Shaurya doesn't even look up . "I don't have time to eat . I have to leave now."
Palki crosses her arms and says " I told you that you should have food . Just eat a little atleast ."
" I am getting continuous calls ," Shaurya says, frustrated. "I can't eat right now."
Palki grabs the phone from his hand and says , "Don't Show me your mobile again . You're being too stubborn."
Shaurya raises his eyebrows ." Did you just call me stubborn?"
"Yes," Palki said firmly . " What will you do ? Will you go now ?"
Shaurya gives her a confused look “Why are you saying like this?”
“Because you don’t care for me,” Palki says sadly, looking down.
Shaurya softens. “No, it’s not like that.”
Palki sighs, “At least have some sympathy for the hard work I did.”
Shaurya finally gives in, “Okay, fine. Serve me breakfast. I’ll eat while standing.”
He adds playfully, “This is emotional blackmail, you know.”
“I know,” Palki smiles. “And did it work?”
Shaurya smirks, “When did I say it didn’t?”
“You’re getting smarter now,” she teases.
Karan walks by and quietly watches them from a distance.
Palki serves Shaurya and feeds him with her own hands as he attends his call. Sudeep comes and smiles, gesturing her to continue.
Shaurya notices everything and ends his call. He sees Karan watching them.
Karan says calmly, “I have work with Sudeep. Let’s go.” He leaves with him.
Shaurya finishes eating and heads out. “I’ll go to the office now.”
As Palki turns to leave for the kitchen, she trips slightly. Shaurya quickly catches her and says, “Careful, Palki.”
He walks out, but suddenly stops and comes back. “Thank you for the breakfast,” he says softly.
Palki smiles and walks with him to the door to wave goodbye.
He turns and says, “Bye.”
Palki smiles brightly as he leaves.
The doorbell rings.
She smiles thinking, Shaurya must have come back again. She opens the door.
Her smile fades a bit when she sees Dada ji and Viraj at the door.
Scene shift to Raajveer in the market
Raajveer is walking and suddenly bumps into Neha, Anika’s cousin.
“What are you doing here?” he asks.
“Came to buy vegetables,” Neha replies casually.
Raajveer jokes, “Then buy aloo for Anika,” and starts to leave.
“Ouch!” Neha suddenly acts like she sprained her foot.
Raajveer comes back, concerned. “Are you okay?”
Neha gives a sweet smile. “Can you please take me to the doctor?”
Raajveer sighs and agrees. “Okay, let’s go.” He helps her to his car.
