Next day Misha enjoyed with her family consisting of her parents and a younger cousin living with them.

Here at the palace Rishabh kept wondering who could mix laxative and recalled the whole sequence. He had a hunch that it was Misha but he wasn't sure so he asked Meenakshi who told him that Misha was alone in the room for good 10 minutes.

Knowing this Rishabh wanted to go to Banaras soon but  doctor asked him to rest for one more day.

Meanwhile Misha had the time of her life. Meeting her friends, her cousins and her favorite spot at Ganga Ghat. She used to sit there for hours looking at the river and the birds. Little did she know that there was going to be an eclipse on her happiness soon and the eclipse was Rishabh Raj Singh who was to arrive the next day.

Next day morning:

Mom: Mishu come down, see who is here to meet you.

Her younger cousin Shivam came running to her.

Shivam: Di.... he has a Mercedes. He looks like a prince.

Misha frowned but then thought that it can't be Rishabh as he didn't knew her address. She went down and while she was on stairs she heard his voice and was petrified. She wasn't able to either go back or to meet
Rishabh. Her mom saw her at that time.

Mom: Mishu, what happened? He has been waiting for you.

Misha: Yes Maa! Coming.

She was very nervous but she went down and sat next to her mom. Shivam also shyly sat near to her. Rishabh gave a loving gaze to her and then called Shivam.

Rishabh: Hey champ! What's your name?
Shivam: I am Shivam and are you a king?

Rishabh smiled and looked at Misha.

Rishabh: Well not yet. I am a prince and if I get a queen I will be the king. By the way this chocolate is for you..

Shivam grabbed the chocolate and squealed of joy.

Shivam: Didi, look he gave me a chocolate. He is my friend now.

Misha just smiled and ruffled his hair. Rishabh just loved her smile. Finally he knew what can make her happy. Meanwhile her mother went to get the breakfast ready. Shivam ran off to keep the chocolate in his room. Now only Misha and Rishabh were alone in the room.

Misha: Why are you here Rishabh Raj Singh? And how did you know my address?

Rishabh: Humse bachna mushkil hi nhi namumkin hai. And after what you have done your escape was more difficult. Mixing laxative huh! Smart move.

Misha: Oh so you know now. Well I don't regret it at all. After all you did it was just a small move.... best is yet to come.

Her mom came in the room just then and asked Misha to show him the garden.

Misha: Maa I have some work to do. Please ask Shivam to take him to the garden.

Mom<warning tone>: Misha!!!!

Misha: Ok chill. Shivam let's go to the garden.

Shivam came running to her and went out with both of them. All the while he held Rishabh's hand and was talking to him. Misha was looking at the new plants.

Shivam: Do you play cricket?

Rishabh: Yes.

Shivam: Will you play with me?

Rishabh: Of course why not?

Shivam: Didi.... will you play too?

Misha: No dear, you play. I have some work.
