Gupta House :

Khushi : Jiji, have you seen Rakshas (devil) anytime.

Payal : What type of question is that Khushi?

Khushi : I have seen Jiji, in the restaurant. Let me think what that Rakshas name is?

Payal : I think you are destined to meet that Rakshas only. See, for whom you have gone there and whom you have met.

Khushi : I hope we never meet again Jiji. Even now I feel scared when I imagine him and his anger.

Payal : Waise Khushi,I told you that I met a guy in the market today. He is just opposite to your Rakshas na , so sweet.(she told this imagining how Akash helped that little girl and their little talk).

Khushi waved her hand before Payal and Payal came out of her thoughts.

Khushi : Hone wala Jijaji hey kya? (In future, will he be my brother-in-law or what??) (she asked while smiling)

Payal : pagli, kuch bhi bol dethe kya (mad girl, you will talk anything just like that...) (saying this Payal hits Khushi's head)

Khushi's phone beeps. It's a message "aapko naukre mil gaya" (got job??)

Khushi smiled and replied 'Nahi(no), he hasn't arrived'

'Let's meet and talk in our regular place tomorrow,good night Khushiji', phone beeped again with this message.

'apko bi Good night',she replied.

Payal snatched the phone and read the messages. Khushi feeded that number as 'temple dosth'.(temple friend)

Khushi snatched the cell phone back.

Payal : Who is this temple dosth Khushi?

Khushi : You will know it tomorrow, Jiji. Now you sleep and dream about my Jijaji you met today. Good night.

Payal : I am not like you Khushi who always dreams about her prince charming.

Khushi : How unlucky, my Jijaji would be. You just know to sleep. Sometimes, get some dreams on him too. I must say you are so unromantic.Poor Jijaji.(she chuckled)

Payal : Khushi, stop teasing me ok. Gud night .

Saying this Payal closed her eyes to make Khushi stop her teasing section. Khushi could only smile seeing her reactions. She also slept dreaming about her Rajkumar.

Next morning, Khushi got a Call. She attended it and then went to Payal .

Khushi : Jiji, shall we go to the temple, today evening.

Payal : I think your temple dosth will come there today and you want to make me meet that person, right?

Khushi(smiling) ; Ha, Jiji. Now, I am going to the park along with Aarav. You know he needs to be in other environment atleast for some time.

Payal : I know Khushi. He is just a 7 year old boy and only god knows what what he have to face yet. Take care of him. Bye.

Khusi hugs Payal and bids bye to her

In park:

Khushi goes to park along with Aarav. While Aarav is engrossed in playing with other boys, Khushi sat on a bench observing him. Just then, she sees a person and can't believe her fate. 'This is the same Arnav Singh Raizada', she thinks. He is on a call and is checking some file.

Khushi(to herself): He always gets a file with him in such odd places and yells at people.

He keeps that file in his bag but forgets to zip the bag. He is still on the call when a small girl hits him while playing and runs away. Some of the papers fall down. Khushi notices them.

Khushi(to herself) : Now who would scold him for his own mistake.

Thinking that, she collects all the papers and keeps them in her bag, only after confirming that Arnav is out of her sight. She doesn't want to face that person who has insulted her the day before, in the restaurant. So she calls Aarav, gives him the bag in which she has put the papers. She points towards Arnav and asks Aarav to hand over the bag to that person.

Aarav walks towards Arnav.

Aarav : Excuse me

Arnav who is talking with Aman still now, turns to see a little boy with a bag in his hands.

Arnav : Yeah.

Aarav : Jiji told me to give this bag to you. I think it has some papers which belongs to you.

Arnav takes the bag and sees some of the deal papers in it. Those papers are indeed important for him. He looks at his bag and finds it unzipped. He thinks what might have happened. He takes those papers and places them inside his bag not forgetting to zip it this time.

Arnav(to Aarav) : Thanks champ. By the way who told you that these papers belonged to me?

Aarav : My jiji.

Aarav turns to see If he could see his jiji and show Arnav whom he is referring as jiji. But she is seen nowhere.

Aarav : I can't see her now. Actually, she won't stay in one place.

Arnav smiles at the comment which Aarav made on his jiji.

Arnav : She has done a great job. Convey my thanks to her.

Saying this he also returns the bag which Aarav handed over to him. Little did Arnav know there is another paper belonged to Khushi which is now in his bag.

Arnav is irked to know from Aman that one of the board members disobeyed his orders and also advised to think about it again. He now started going out of the park and Aman came back to his family with whom he is in the park. Actually, Aman and his wife along with their 3 year old son came to the park to spend some time. So Arnav landed there to meet Aman and discuss something important as Aman is on leave. He also ordered Aman not to take more leaves as he can't meet him like this daily.

Many children are running here and there in the park entertaining themselves playing different games. Khushi sees 2 kids fighting with each other holding their water guns. Before Khushi could reach them and sort out the problem, one of them presses the water gun to splash water on the other and runs away. So the second boy starts running behind the first boy. Khushi also follows them.

The second boy throws the gun towards the first boy but it hits Arnav who came in middle. Khushi immediately rushes and takes the gun in her hands as she doesn't wish Arnav to concentrate on that boy and scold him. Arnav turns only to see her again.
