Sunny's initial anger is gradually eased by Agnes's vibrant and amusing demeanor. Despite his refusal to acknowledge it, Sunny begins to smile as a result of her hilarious pranks rather than becoming even more irritated. "Sunny,halka hona! Gambheer jeevan jeene ke liye jeevan bahut chota hai(lighten up! Life is too short to live a serious life.)" Sunny finds himself secretly appreciating Agnes's ability to bring fun into his otherwise structured life as her shenanigans persist. Still, pride and stubbornness keep him from realizing how much she's changing him. Sunny is grumbling. "Vah bas ek upadrav hai, bas itana hi(She's just a nuisance, that's all.)" Sunny constantly makes use of Agnes' status in society to keep his ego and control over the situation, ignoring any signs of developing affection. He feels that these jabs act as a defense against Agnes's obvious appeal. "Agnes,apani sthiti ko dhyaan mein rakhe. Yahaan, aap sirf ek worker hai(keep your position in mind. Here, you're just a worker.)" Despite Sunny's taunting, Agnes chooses to engage in some games. She conjures up the character of Solicitor Nisha Rajeev and plays it to perfection. She plays the part precisely, using this lighthearted persona to thwart Sunny's attempts to diminish her. "Mr. Kuruvilla,aapaki tippaniyaan poori tarah galat hai. Main sabase bada sammaan maangana chaahoonga(your comments are entirely wrong. I'd like to ask for the greatest respect.)" 

Agnes deftly slips past Sunny's attempts to put her down while posing as Solicitor Nisha Rajeev. She irritates him by turning his taunts into casual chat. "Is Nisha charitr ke saath kya hai? Agnes utani pareshaan karane vaali nahi hai jitani vah hai(What's with this Nisha character? Agnes is not nearly as bothersome as she is.)" Although Sunny appears annoyed he begins to respect Agnes's courage and her capacity to reverse the situation. He has no idea that their playful conversation is fostering an unnoticed bond between them. "Tum jo chaaho taana maar sakate ho, Sunny, lekin Nisha yahaan rahane ke liye hai(You can taunt all you want, Sunny, but Nisha is here to stay.)" Agnes's simultaneous role-playing continues, and things at Thakadiel take an unexpected turn. The boundary between irritation and affection becomes unclear, allowing for a strange voyage of self-realization and perspective-altering experiences. Thakadiel is illuminated with vivid colors and exuberant celebrations during Diwali, the festival of lights. Sunny and Agnes are captivated by the joyous atmosphere as the estate is illuminated by diyas and laughter fills the air. "Sunny, this Diwali is truly magical!" A customary bonfire is set in the courtyard amid the celebrations. Guests congregate and start dancing to the upbeat tunes. Sunny and Agnes find themselves standing near the fire as the flames dance and crackle because they are lured to its warmth.

"Yah kaafi shaanadaar hai, Agnes(It's quite a spectacle, Agnes.)" A silent moment occurs as the night goes on, when Sunny and Agnes are lost in one other's sight and momentarily unaware of their surroundings. The intimate bond between them is highlighted by the diyas' flickering light. Agnes has a quiet voice. "Diwali logo ko kareeb laane ka ek tareeka hai, hai na(Diwali has a way of bringing people closer, doesn't it?)" During an unplanned intimate moment, Sunny instinctively brushes a strand of Agnes's hair off her face. Agnes feels a chill down her spine at the tender touch, awaking feelings she has never experienced before. "Aapake baal, yah raaste mein the(Your hair, it was in the way.)" After the gentle touch, Sunny feels a flood of perplexity rush over him. His intellect keeps reminding him that he is meant to marry Tara after two weeks, but he is living in denial. Agnes struggles with her own emotions as well, not knowing what to expect from this uncharted environment. In his own little voice, Sunny murmurs. "Aisa nahi ho sakata. Mainne Tara ko propose kiya hai(This is not possible. I have proposed to Tara.)" They can never forget the personal moment as Diwali night progresses. Unspoken emotions dominate the atmosphere, and despite the festivities surrounding them, Sunny and Agnes end up interconnected in a web of feelings none of them expected. "Aaj ki raat yaadagaar rahegi, Sunny(Tonight will be one to remember, Sunny.)" Though intended to be a night of celebration, Diwali turns into an important turning point for Sunny and Agnes, laying the foundation for a complicated journey involving love, denial, and the depths of their hearts they have yet to discover. Thakadiel is plunged into darkness by an unexpected interruption in electricity while the Diwali night sparkles with the light of diyas. Agnes knows something is off in the hubbub and chooses to investigate into the electrical problem. "Main bijali katauti se Diwali barbaad nahi hone de sakata. Mujhe sthiti par gaur karana hoga(I can't allow a power outage to ruin Diwali. I have to look into the situation.)" Agnes accidentally becomes trapped in the broken circuits while attempting to resolve the problem. It's difficult to see the delicate wires in the dark, and before she knows it, she's trapped. "Yah yojanaabaddh nahi tha. Main is sthiti mein kaise pahuncha(This was not planned. How did I end up in this situation?)" Sensing that something is off, Sunny dashes into the shadows to locate Agnes. He hears a muffled plea for aid and panics. He investigates the sound and finds Agnes stumbling among the cables. "Agnes! Aap kya kar rahe ho(What are you doing?)" With a rush of adrenaline, Sunny acts quickly out of concern for Agnes's safety. He succeeds in turning off the electricity, sparing Agnes from the possible harm caused by the malfunctioning circuits. She falls on the hard floor, nonetheless, as a result of the sudden release. "Tum theek ho? Tum kya soch rahe the Dammit(Are you okay? What were you thinking Dammit?)" With a mixture of relief and frustration, Sunny reproaches Agnes for putting herself in danger as she lies on the ground. His severe tone conceals his sincere worries for her safety. "Dammit,ho sakata hai aapane sachamuch khud ko ghaayal kar liya ho! Tumne kya dikhaane ki koshish ki(you might have really injured yourself! What did you try to show?)" Overcome with a wave of emotions, Sunny takes up Agnes in a traditional bridal style, unable to control his fear. His acts are a result of both an unconscious need to protect her and sincere compassion. "Tumhe is tarah apani jaan jokhim mein nahi daalani chaahiye, Dammit(You're not supposed to be risking your life like this, Dammit.)" A thought crosses Sunny's mind as he supports Agnes in his arms. He reconsiders every aspect of their relationship out of fear of losing her. But the weight of his upcoming marriage to Tara forces him to face his obligations. Sunny murmured to himself. 

"Main kya kar raha hoon? Mujhe Tara ko najarandaaj karana asambhav lagata hai(What am I doing? I find it impossible to overlook Tara.)" After an unexpected turn to the festivities on Diwali night, Sunny finds himself conflicted between his growing love for Agnes and his promises to Tara. The mechanics of their developing relationship are complicated by the residual effects of their quiet moment. Sunny takes a snap decision as he struggles with the intensity of the Diwali night and the feelings it evokes. In the face of his own inner turmoil, he chooses to marry Tara the next morning. The lines carved into his face show how much this decision weighs on him. "Mujhe is galatafahami ko khatm karana hoga. Agale haphte, Tara aur main shaadi ke bandhan mein bandh jaenge aur jindagi saamaany ho jaegi(I have to put an end to this misunderstanding. Next week, Tara and I will tie the knot, and life will return to normal.)" As dawn breaks on the mansion the following day, Sunny gathers the family to make a statement. His statements are a mixture of resolve and internal conflict. "Mainne apani pratibaddhata ko poora karane ka nirnay liya hai. Agale haphte Tara aur meri shaadi ho jaayegi(I've made the decision to carry out my commitment. Next week, Tara and I will get married.)" Agnes receives the news like a lightning strike. She withdraws to her room, distraught and perplexed, her heart heaving with suppressed emotions. When Agnes learns of Sunny's declaration, the weight of his choice gradually breaks her. "Yah itani buri tarah dard kyon kar raha hai? Main ise samajh nahi pa raha hoon(Why is this hurting so badly? I don't understand it.)" When Agnes is by herself in her room, she breaks down quietly. Her tears turn into a silent testament to the emotional tempest that is raging inside of her. She finds it hard to understand the anguish that flows through her heart. A whisper is coming from Agnes's lips. "Is baat se dukh kyon hota hai ki Tara usaki pasand hai? Mainne socha ki main bas ek moorkh yuva ladaki thi jo us par crush thi(Why does it hurt that Tara is his choice? I thought I was just a foolish young girl with a crush.)" Agnes begins to doubt herself as she mulls over her emotions. In a vulnerable moment, she lists the obvious differences between Tara and herself and wonders if she is worthy. With her room to herself, Agnes had a private talk with herself. "Vah kabhi bhi mere jaise kisi vyakti ko kyon chunega? Tara sundar, dhani aur khoobsurat hai. Main sirf madhyam varg ki ladaki hoon(Why would he ever choose someone like me? Tara is elegant, wealthy, and beautiful. I'm just a girl from the middle class.)" She struggles with the truth of her own sentiments and the seeming difference in her and Tara's feelings as she makes her way through the perplexing maze of emotions. "Shaayad mere liye yah vishvaas karana ek galati thi ki mere jaise kisi vyakti ke liye usake man mein bhaavanae hongi. Vah jis mahila ka hakadaar hai vah Tara hai(Maybe it was a mistake for me to believe he would have emotions for someone like me. The woman who he deserves is Tara.)" 

Unspoken and weighted with regret, it hangs in the air. Agnes analyzes the path not taken, wondering if her own refusal to admit her feelings played a role in the unfolding anguish. "Mujhe cheejon ke baare mein adhik jaagarook hona chaahiye tha. Mainne khud ko yah sochane ki anumati kyon di ki vah mujhe chun sakata hai(I should have been more aware of things. Why did I ever give myself permission to think that he could choose me?)" Agnes struggles with her own feelings and wonders where she fits into Sunny's plans as Sunny's resolve to wed Tara becomes more and more strong. Both characters are left in a state of emotional anguish by the tragedy that is developing, which paves the way for an intricate and painful resolution. With a grudge against Sunny and desire for Agnes, Rony makes the decision to act boldly. In an effort to win Agnes's love and secure his position in her life, he prepares a sincere proposal. "Main Agnes ko lambe samay se jaanata hoon, aur eemaanadaari se kahoon to main tumhaare bina apane jeevan ki kalpana bhi nahi kar sakata. Kya tum karenge mujhase shaadi(I've known Agnes for a long time, and I honestly cannot imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?)" Agnes is confused as a result of Sunny's decision and the tornado of emotions that surrounds it. Her already turbulent feelings become even more complicated as a result of the proposal. Agnes whispers to herself. "Shaayad yah vahi cheez hai jisaki mujhe zaroorat hai - koi sthir vyakti, koi aisa vyakti jo mere dil ke tukade na kare(Maybe this is exactly what I need – someone stable, someone who won't break my heart into pieces.)" In the midst of the emotional tumult, Agnes accepts Rony's proposal when she is weak and looking for comfort. Her answer is a complex mix of anguish, perplexity, and a need for comfort. Agnes murmured. "Yes, Rony. Let's do this." When Agnes's family learns of her acceptance, they celebrate what appears to be a joyous occasion without realizing the underlying turmoil. There is a sincere joy and joyful applause in the room. "Agnes shaadi kar rahi hai! Yah khabar aashcharyajanak hai(Agnes is getting married! This news is amazing!)" Rony can't control his delight, as he feels thrilled by Agnes's acceptance. Ignoring Agnes's inner turmoil, he imagines a time in the future when he can finally have Agnes at his side. "Tumane mujhe jeevit sabase khush insaan bana diya hai, Agnes. Main vaada karata hoon ki main tumhe hamesha sanjokar rakhoonga(You've made me the happiest man alive, Agnes. I promise to always treasure you.)" Agnes fights with her inner conflict as the celebrations for her engagement get started. Her heart aches for closure, but she forces a grin, trying to convince herself that this is the best course. A whisper is coming from Agnes. "Shaayad isase mujhe vah sthirata milegi jisaki mujhe zaroorat hai, bheetar ki araajakata se mukti milegi(Maybe this will bring the stability I need, an escape from the chaos within.)" Behind the happy exterior, Agnes's eye trails a single tear. It is a tear shed for the feelings that remain unsaid, the emotions that are left unsolved, and the bittersweet acceptance of an uncertain but essential future. Agnes is turning her head away. "Mujhe ummeed hai ki main sahi chunaav kar raha hoon(I hope I'm making the right choice.)" Agnes's choice to accept Rony during the engagement festivities is a moving scene that foreshadows a complex investigation of love, bewilderment, and the search for stability in the face of emotional upheaval. When Sunny learns that Agnes has become engaged, he feels a twinge of disappointment. The realization intensifies the inner turmoil he has been attempting to repress. "Agnes...sagai?Ye mujhe kaise nahi pata(Agnes...engaged? How could I have missed this?)" Engulfed by the wave of feelings, Sunny finds himself reverting to the well-known behaviors of his past, protecting his haughtiness and sarcasm from his own weaknesses. "Agar usaki sagai ho gai hai to mujhe chinta kyon karani chaahiye? Usane apana nirnay le liya(Why should I worry if she's engaged? She made her decision.)"Unaware that his verbal taunts are motivated by his own sense of loss, Sunny uses a string of scathing comments to vent his wrath on Agnes after receiving the unexpected news. "Agnes,kya aapai sagai ho rahi hai? Mujhe nahi pata tha ki aap itani jaldi ghar basaane ki koshish kar rahe the(are you engaged? I had no idea you were trying to settle down so quickly.)" Sunny is still struggling with his mixed feelings and doesn't know who Agnes's fiancé is. His aggravation is heightened by the uncertainty, which also makes him more determined to emotionally detach himself. "Vaise bhi, yah ladaka kaun hai? Mahatvapoorn nahi. Mujhe koi paravaah nahi karani chaahiye(Anyway, who is this guy? Not important. I shouldn't give a damn.)" Sunny takes on an almost frigid and uncaring manner in an effort to shield his own feelings. He doesn't see that the resentment is a mirror of his own uncertainty and disillusionment. "Use ek mangetar mil gaya hai. Sunny, aage badho. Aisa nahi hai ki yah vaastav mein maayane rakhata hai(She's got a fiancé. Sunny, move on. Not that it matters, really.)" Agnes, meantime, withstands Sunny's verbal assault with fortitude despite being ignorant of his inner agony. Her engagement acts as a buffer against the psychological damage Sunny appears intent on causing. "Mainne jo nirnay liya hai us par kaayam rahoonga. Unhonne jo kaha usase main prabhaavit hone se inakaar karata hoon(I'll stick to the decision I made. I refuse to be impacted by what he said.)" Beneath Sunny's exterior of indifference, there is a whirlwind of mixed emotions that include regret, love, and a strong need to know why Sunny is affected so strongly by Agnes's engagement. "Vah mujhe kyon pareshaan kar raha hai? Mainne, usake saath, apana nirnay liya hai(Why is that bothering me? I, along with her, have made our decision.)" 

Agnes's engagement serves as a trigger for a fresh struggle within Sunny as he struggles with his disappointment and confusion, allowing for a more in-depth examination of their complex feelings. Sunny's cousin Matthew has a deep understanding that he feels something for Juanita, and love starts to blossom in his heart. "Mere lie Juanita sirf dost se badhakar hai. Main usake saath apane din bitaana chaahata hoon(To me, Juanita is more than just a friend. I wish to live out my days with her.)" Matthew finds the confidence to tell Juanita he loves her despite the possibility that their relationship would never be the same. His courage comes from the depth of his growing feelings. "Main ab ise apane tak nahi rakh sakata. Mujhe Juanita ke saamane apani bhaavanaen vyakt karani hongi(I can no longer keep this to myself. I must express my feelings to Juanita.)" Unaware of Matthew's emotions, Juanita is shocked when he declares his love and makes a marriage proposal. The realization prepares her for a range of feelings. "Matthew...yah vah nahi tha jisaki mujhe aasha thi. Mujhe kaise jaana chaahiye(This was not what I expected to happen. How should I go?)" Matthew opens up completely, sharing the breadth of his emotions and the sincerity of his goals. He waits for Juanita to respond, and the air is heavy with expectation. "Juanita,main tumase pyaar karata hoon. Tum mujhase shaadi karogi(I love you. Will you marry me?)" Taken aback, Juanita pauses to consider her emotions and what might come out of Matthew's sincere admission. Juanita is pondering. "Matthew ek avishvasaneey roop se adbhut vyakti hai. Kya main hamaare ek saath bhavishy ki kalpana kar sakata hoon(is an incredibly amazing person. Could I envision us having a future together?)" Juanita gives Matthew's proposition some serious thought and, moved by his genuineness, chooses to accept it. "Matthew,shaayad main aisa hi mahasoos ho, lekin mujhe kabhi isaka ehasaas nahi hua. Haan, main tum se shaadi karoonga(I might feel the same way, but I never realized. Yes, I will marry you.)" With the goal of creating a future together, Matthew and Juanita set off on a romantic and committed adventure. Their engagement adds a whole new level of happiness and hope to their lives. "Juanita,main yah dekhane ke liye utsuk hoon ki hamaare liye aage kya hoga. Hum milakar kuch pyaara banaenge(I'm eager to see what lies ahead for us. We'll make something lovely together.)" 

In the midst of Sunny and Agnes' emotional turmoil, Matthew and Juanita's engagement turns into a ray of hope as they work through the challenges of love and commitment. Agnes's adoptive father, Joseph, discovers the startling information that Rony is already married to Lynette. He is shocked by the revelation as he realizes the deception that has taken place. "Rony itane mahatvapoorn saty ko kaise chupa sakata tha? Agnes ka bhavishy bachaane ke liye, mujhe yah jaanakaari avashy bataani hogi(How could Rony keep such an important truth hidden? To save Agnes's future, I must make this information known.)" Joseph makes the decision to approach Rony and reveal the truth to the family prior to the wedding festivities getting out of control, driven by a sense of duty and worry for Agnes. "Main Agnes ko dhokha dene ki anumati nahi de sakata. Mujhe Rony ki asali prakrti ko ujaagar karana hoga(I cannot allow Agnes to be tricked. I have to expose Rony's true nature.)" When Rony senses that his concealment is about to be revealed, he takes extreme steps to keep his lie intact. He approaches Joseph and responds in an aggressive way. "Kya aap maanate hai ki aap har cheez par vipatti la sakate hai? Tumhe meri kshamata ka andaaza nahi hai(You believe you can cause disaster on everything? You're not aware of my potential.)" In a sinister turn of events, Rony uses force to get Joseph to keep silent. Joseph is rendered partially paralyzed by the attack, which also takes away his capacity to tell the truth. Speechless, in misery, is Joseph. "Mujhe unhe chetaavani dene ki zaroorat hai, lekin mera shareer sahayog nahi karega(I need to warn them, but my body won't cooperate.)" Joseph struggles with the distress of not being able to warn Agnes and the rest of the family about the impending danger while he is now restricted to a state of silent agony. Joseph is distraught and powerless. "Mainne unaki raksha karane ki koshish ki, lekin ab main is khaamosh jail mein phans gaya hoon(I tried to protect them, but now I'm trapped in this silent prison.)" While the wedding is being planned, Agnes is blissfully oblivious to the tragedy that is transpiring. She is too thrilled about her upcoming marriage to see the danger that could be hiding beneath the surface. "Mujhe ab bhi aashchary hota hai ki main aur meri bahan Juanita shaadi kar rahe hai. Sab kuch uttam prateet hota hai(It still amazes me that me and my sister Juanita are getting married. Everything appears to be perfect.)" A shadow of danger and secrecy hangs over the family as they get together to celebrate. Agnes and the others are unaware that Rony's efforts have created the conditions for a storm that could topple the appearance of contentment. They had no idea that a storm is building underneath the surface, preparing to ruin this happy occasion. A tense and compelling environment is created by the revelation of Rony's secret, the violent attack on Joseph, and the approaching wedding, which could alter Agnes's entire existence. With the truth of his marriage still a mystery, Rony takes advantage of the situation by posing as Agnes's aunt Joanna and offering to take on certain family responsibilities. "Aunty ji,main is parivaar ke sangharsho ko pahachaanata hoon. Main yahaan madad karane, jimmedaari lene aur sabhi kee bhalai ka dhyaan rakhane ke liye hoon(I recognize the struggles this family is facing. I'm here to help, take responsibility, and look out for everyone's wellbeing.)" Joanna first has faith in Rony's intentions because she isn't aware of his secret plans. He is someone she looks up to during trying times, so she appreciates the offer of help. "Kisi ko sahaayata ki peshakash karane ko ichchuk dekhana utsaahajanak hai. Abhi, hum sahaayata ka upayog kar sakate hai(Seeing someone willing to offer assistance is uplifting. Right now, we could use the assistance.)" With his ability to manipulate people, Rony starts to ingratiate himself more and more into the family dynamics, gradually influencing choices to suit him. "Main keval sabhi ke sarvottam hiton ki paravaah karata hoon. Hum isase milakar nipatenge, main vaada karata hoon(I only care about everyone's best interests. We'll go through this together, I promise.)" Rony carefully plots to separate himself from Joseph—the only person who can reveal his deceit—while posing as helpful. Unaware that she is a pawn in this risky game, Joanna does so. "Aisa prateet hota hai ki Rony ko parivaar ke prati gambheer chinta hai. Kisi ko prabhaari banaana aaraamadaayak hai(It appears that Rony has sincere worries for the family. Having someone in charge is comforting.)" Rony gently modifies Joanna's perspective by sowing the seeds of doubt and false information, leading her to mistrust the veracity of Joseph's worries and assertions. Joseph has experienced a great deal. "Shaayad unaki haaliya harakate tanaav se prabhaavit hai. Isake bajaay, hame mere samarthan par bharosa rakhana chaahiye(Perhaps his recent actions are influenced by stress. Instead, we should have faith in my support.)" Joseph starts to lose Joanna's allegiance as Rony's schemes gain traction. The once-clear seas of trust get muddled by doubts as the family dynamic begins to tilt. "Rony sahaayata ki chattaan raha hai. Mujhe unaki baat ko bhi dhyaan mein rakhana hoga(Rony has been a rock of assistance. I also have to take his point of view into consideration.)" Now posing as a puppeteer in the background, Rony manipulates a small change in the dynamics of the family while hiding his own motivations and spinning a web of lies. A sly smile crosses Rony's face. "Step by step. Yah unhe tab tak spasht nahi hoga jab tak ki bahut der na ho jae(It won't be apparent to them until it's too late.)" As it gets created against the backdrop of family duty, Rony's manipulation of Joanna and subtle manipulation of the family dynamics create the stage for an engrossing story of treachery and deceit inside the formerly close-knit group.
