Next Morning

Kavya's Room, Armaan's Mansion

Kavya wakes up to the strong aroma of coffee and vanilla. She rotates to lay on her back and open her eyes to find her husband, staring down at her.

He greets with a smile, "Good morning."

She greets back after a yawn, "Good morning."

He chuckles and informs, "I have got breakfast for you."

Kavya's eyes widen and follows the direction, Armaan pointed to find a tray with two coffee mugs, two plates of vanilla pancakes and a bowl of fresh assorted fruits.

She turns to face him with a smile and he asks, "Let's eat?"

Kavya nods and sits up before shifting backwards to press her back against the bed rest. While Armaan grabs the tray and sits on the bed after she pushed away the duvet to make room for him.

He places the tray on the bed and grabs a mug of coffee to offer to Kavya, which she accepts with a smile.

After taking a sip, she comments, "Mary has made good coffee today."

Armaan smiles before informing, "Today, I have made breakfast."

Kavya's hand freezes mid-way in shock as she was about to take another sip. He smiles again and pushes her hand up to press the rip of the mug against her lips.

She takes a sip and he states, "Thanks for the compliment, Mrs. Raichand, only replace Mary's name with mine."

Kavya asks without taking away her eyes from his face, "Why did you make breakfast?"

Armaan mocks, "Because I can make certain things, which are edible."

She glares at words, making him chuckle and he grabs a strawberry to feed her.

After chewing, Kavya takes a raspberry and moves her hand towards his mouth. He parts his lips to eat, but she pulls her hand back and eats the fruit herself, making him stare in surprise with wide eyes and hung mouth.

She giggles at his expression and grabs another raspberry to offer him. Though he stares at her suspiciously and grabs her wrist to eat the fruit.

Kavya comments with fake hurt look, "Hawww....you don't trust me."

Armaan replies, "After your dang-advantageous stunt last night, I have learned, I need to stay cautious around you."

She accuses dramatically, while narrowing her eyes, "But you enjoyed mister."

He agrees with a nod, "I won't deny, still precaution is better than cure."

Armaan grabs a piece of kiwi to offer her and Kavya stares at him through her eyelashes before opening her mouth and biting his finger, while taking the fruit in her mouth.

He yelp in pain and stares at his crazy wife, who mocks with a chuckle, "Precaution is better than cure."

Armaan watches her laughing and couldn't stop his lips from curling up into a smile.

He grabs another piece of fruit and offers her, not caring if she bites him and watches his mischievous wife, smirking at him.

Bedroom, Ruhi's Apartment

Ruhi wakes up with the notification sound of her phone and grabs her phone with closed eyes from the night stand. Bringing her phone close to her face, she opens her left eye lazily to check the notification.

Her both eyes widens, reading Rihan's name on the screen and she clicks on the notification to read the message.

Msg - It's morning my dear friend, time to work on your responsibilities, time to work on your dreams, time to work on yourself to prove it to the world, you are the strongest person on earth. So, a very good and happy Sunday morning......from a lazy bone, who is still laying on his bed 😁😜🙈

Ruhi chuckles at the last line and starts typing a reply - Its morning my dear friend, time to leave the bed, time to work on yourself to prove it to the world, you are not the laziest person on earth. So, a very good and happy morning......from an active bone, who is gearing up for a hardcore advance defense training 🏋🏃💪

Ruhi sends the message and stands to start her day by moving to take a bath.

Bedroom, Rihan's Penthouse

Manasvi enters Rihan's room with a mug of coffee in her hand and finds her son, laughing with his phone in his hand and legs tangled with the duvet. She smiles and makes her way towards the bed.

Meanwhile Rihan sends a reply - In that case, I should spoil my super active friend by sharing the wonderful experience of spending time with the comfy bed and soft, soft pillows, forgetting the world 😉🙈😴

Manasvi speaks, grabbing his attention, "Flirting with Ruhi through messages?"

Rihan jumps at his spot and finds his mother, standing at the end of the bed and raising her eyebrows in a demanding way.

He sits up and watches her now taking a seat on the bed, facing him.

She demands, "So?"

Rihan shifts closer to sit in front of his mother and grabs the mug before informing, "Not flirting, just trying to make her happy. She cried yesterday and unintentionally I am responsible for that."

Manasvi frowns and Rihan shares their conversation during dinner, which makes her sad for Ruhi.

She states, "It won't be easy for her to live alone and handle everything."

Rihan agrees after taking a sip, "I know and now when she is here, away from Kavya's family, I feel she is missing the family atmosphere."

She nods in response and Rihan continues to drink his coffee.

Suddenly Manasvi's eyes widen in excitement and she yells, "Idea."

He request playfully, "Mom relax, the neighbours will get scared with your yelling."

She rolls her eyes and orders, "Shut up."

Rihan chuckles and she shares her idea, "How about we invite Ruhi here for a dinner?"

He asks with a raised eyebrow, "Here? You mean our home."

She replies after a shrug, "Yes."

He asks again, "In your presence?"

She explains, "Rihan, I want her get a family atmosphere, so I have to be a part of the dinner."

Rihan smiles, taking her hands in his free one and states, "I appreciate your gesture Mom, but what will I tell her? My mom invited you for dinner? What do you think, she will think about it?"

Manasvi lowers her gaze with a sad face, which immediately brightens up with another idea and she shares, "Invite her by saying, we are celebrating 4th anniversary of our stay in Mumbai."

He chuckles and informs, "Mom, we still have good 6 months for celebrating 4th anniversary."

She slaps his head playfully and informs, "That you know and I know, but not Ruhi, so stop spoiling my brilliant plan and invite her for tonight right now."

Rihan shakes his head in disbelief and informs, "Ok my over excited Mom, I will call her later. Let me finish my coffee."

He drinks his coffee and Manasvi shares another idea, "You call her, meanwhile I will go and check the groceries in kitchen. I will cook famous Delhi food for dinner. Ruhi will feel as if she has come home."

She stands in excitement to exit the room, leaving his son to shake his head in disbelief again.

He comments, "Her excitement crosses new levels each time."

Bedroom, Ruhi's Apartment

Ruhi combs her hair to tie in a ponytail after dressing up for the training when her phone starts ringing. Her eyes fall on her phone to find Rihan's name flashing on the screen and she grabs the phone to answer.

She greets with a smile, "Hello."

Rihan greets back cheerfully, "Hello Ms. Active Bone."

Ruhi giggles, remembering their earlier chat and teases him, "How did Mr. Lazy Bone decided to do a heavy workout by lifting his huge phone and dialing my number?"

Rihan chuckles in response and informs, "Well, I had an important work, so I had to do this heavy workout."

She asks with a grin, "And that important work is?"

He answers, "To invite you over my home for a small celebration. Actually it's been 4 years since I and my Mom have shifted to Mumbai. So, Mom is making a special dinner and usually we celebrate it alone. But this time I thought to invite you."

Ruhi enquires with surprise, "Me?"

He confirms, "Yes, you are my friend and I would like you to meet my Mom...I mean Mom has met my every friend, so it's your turn to meet her now."

Ruhi thinks for a moment and agrees, "Oh...alright, when is the celebration?"

Rihan informs, "Tonight, I will pick you at 7.30 pm."

She replies, "Ok, I will see you then."

They bid their farewell and disconnect the call.

Living Room, Armaan's Mansion

Mary rolls her eyes, sitting on the couch and watches a confused Armaan's activity, besides her.

He glances at his phone, thinks to dial the number then shakes his head and drops the idea.

He has taken Myra's number from Kavya before she left for Ruhi's apartment. He expressed his wish to talk with her to have good relation with her family and she was delighted with the idea.

Now, it is almost the time for Kavya to return and Armaan is still debating whether to call or not, and if he calls, then what should he say.

Mary sighs after he dropped the idea for the hundredth time and states, "Armaan, Myra won't emerge from the phone to slap you, if you failed to put up a good chat. Plus, she is an animal lover, so she must be kind and soft hearted."

Armaan asks after facing her, "Were you encouraging me or scaring me?"

She answers after a chuckle, "Pushing you to try."

He sighs, but didn't call and she scolds him, "Armaan now please call. You have wasted 7 hours in playing with your phone. Kavya will come any moment and ask, how was the chat, then what will you tell her?"

Armaan argues, "But Mary what if Myra still hates me for what I did with her sister? When she wished me for one month anniversary, she was disappointed."

Mary explains, "Things have changed after that night and I am sure, she is aware of your efforts, Kavya shares everything with her."

He nods in understanding and Mary continues, "Plus, Ruhi was equally disappointed earlier, but now she isn't and talks with you comfortably. Armaan, don't worry, these girls are mature enough to understand. So, please call Myra."

Armaan agrees and finally clicks the dial button before pressing the device to his ear.

Mary smiles, watching him pinching the bridge of his nose in nervousness.

Suddenly he stiffen as Myra answers the call, "Hello."

Armaan clears his throat and greets, "Hello Myra, this is Armaan."

Myra's Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Myra's eyes widen in shock as she hears Armaan's voice over the speaker of her phone.

She stops stroking the back of the kitten, sitting in her lap and turns to see the phone.

Armaan's voice fills the air, "Myra? Are you there?"

She pulls herself out of the daze and shifts the kitten on the bed before grabbing the phone, and turning off the speaker.

She presses the phone to her ear to talk, "Yes, Jiju I am here."

Myra strokes the kitten's back, who purrs in response as Armaan takes a minute to ask, "How are you? How is your preparation for final year going on?"

She answers, "I am fine and preparations are going as per schedule."

She hears his appreciation in response, "That's great. You are studious, I guess."

There is silence again from the other end and Myra thinks, 'Yesterday he talked with Mamma and Papa, today he is calling me to ask my whereabouts. Ruhi was right, he is trying every possible way to win Didu's trust back.'

The kitten meow, grabbing her attention and Armaan asks, "Was that a cat?"

Myra can sense the hesitation in his voice and decides to make him comfortable by sharing, "Yes, I rescued a kitten from two nasty dogs yesterday evening. She is a cute white kitten and really adorable. But I will handover her to an animal welfare NGO tomorrow for further care. Mamma, doesn't allow to keep pets."

Living Room, Armaan's Mansion, Mumbai

Armaan asks, taking interest in the chat, "Why?"

Mary smiles and he listens to her answer, "Mamma thinks if she allowed once, then I won't take much time to convert Kapoor Mansion into Kapoor Zoo Centre."

He laughs, making Mary sigh in relief at his comfort and turns to find a tired Kavya entering the Mansion. She stands to walk closer and takes her handbag, while greeting her.

Kavya eyes her husband and whispers, "Work call?"

Mary shakes her head and denies, "No, your sister."

Kavya's eyes widen in shock and she asks, "Till now?"

Mary whispers after a chuckle, "No, he was hesitating and finally called 5 minutes back."

Kavya shakes her head in disbelief at the information and they stand at their spot to not disturb Armaan as he speaks, "Then how did the kitten get an entry to your home?"

Myra informs, "By hiding in my bag."

He raises his eyebrows and thinks, 'Both sisters are adventurous.'

Armaan asks, "What if your mother finds out? Does Papa support you?"

She answers, "I have not left my room since yesterday evening and told Mamma, I am studying, so she won't disturb me, hopefully. Whereas Papa is supportive, he never stops us from doing anything we wish."

He comments, "That's good."

Myra's Room, Kapoor Mansion, Delhi

Myra hears her mother's voice, "Myra, what are you doing inside your room since morning?"

Her eyes widen as she hears her mother's footsteps and panics, "Oh no! Mamma is coming and Papa is out for work. Plus, the maid, who helps me to hide the animals is on holiday. I will be thrown out along with the kitten."

Armaan instructs after a moment, "Myra relax. Go out of your room and give your phone to Mamma. I will distract her till you hide the kitten in a safe place."

Living Room, Armaan's Mansion, Mumbai

Kavya stares at her husband with wide eyes and hung mouth after hearing his words.

While Mary smiles and Armaan assures on the call, "Just trust me and do as I say."

After a minute, he greets Nimrit with a lie, "Hi Mamma, I was trying to call you, but your phone was unreachable."

He hears Nimrit's voice, "But my phone has good network."

Armaan pulls the phone away and lies, "Even now, I am unable to hear you. Can you please step outside? I want to discuss something important with you."

Kavya watches her husband, repeating hello with the phone from his mouth to convince her mother to walk away from Myra's room.

She thinks, 'From when did he became so dramatic?'

Mary thinks, 'Kavya's side....no Kavya's good effect on Armaan.'

Meanwhile Armaan smiles after Nimrit said, she came to the lawn and he presses the phone to his ear.

He informs with a smirk, "Now I can hear you, crystal clear."

Kavya rolls her eyes, nevertheless chuckles silently on his antics to save her sister from their mother's long lecture on 'how these animals can be dangerous.'

While Armaan speaks through the phone, "I have signed a new contract yesterday, but there is a point in the contract, which I think can be problematic for me. You are a lawyer, so if you are free, can we discuss?"

Nimrit agrees, "Armaan, I am always free for my kids, tell me."

He starts discussing a point for which, he already knows the answer and made the necessary arrangements. But to save Myra, he didn't mind repeating.

After 15 minutes into the discussion, Armaan hears Myra's cheerful voice in the background, "Hi Mamma, what's up?"

He chuckles silently, catching the hint that the kitten is hidden in a safe spot and speaks, "Ok Mamma, I will ask my production team to take these measures. Thank you for the advice."

Nimrit replies lovingly, "No need to thank me, Armaan. You can call me for anything, I am happy to help you."

He smiles and talk for a minute casually before disconnecting the call with a promise to chat some other time.

Armaan turns to face Mary, but finds her standing away with Kavya, who is smiling at him.

He pinches the bridge of his nose and enquires, "How much did you listen?"

She walks closer and informs, "Enough to know Mr. Raichand can be a drama queen, if needed."

He looks away in embarrassment, making her and Mary laugh at his reaction.

Rihan's Penthouse

At 8 pm, Manasvi opens the door after hearing the doorbell and finds at Ruhi and Rihan at the doorstep.

She smiles at Ruhi, eyeing her from top to bottom, who suddenly feels shy and lowers her gaze.

Sensing her discomfort, Rihan glares at his mother and gestures at Ruhi. Manasvi gives him an apologetic look, then winks, silently appreciating his choice and he smiles.

Manasvi faces Ruhi and states, "Come inside dear, welcome to our home."

Ruhi lifts her face and Rihan gestures her to enter first. Ruhi obeys and Manasvi places her hand on Ruhi's back to guide her towards the living room. Rihan shuts the door and follows them.

Manasvi requests, "Have a seat, Ruhi."

Ruhi turns around and forwards an orchid bouquet, she brought for them and wishes, "Happy fourth anniversary."

Manasvi asks with a frown, "What fourth anniversary?"

Rihan, standing at their right, slaps his forehead gently as his mother forgot the excuse.

While Ruhi enquires in confusion, "Rihan informed, you both have completed four years in Mumbai? So, it's a celebration."

Manasvi remembers her own created excuse to invite Ruhi and mentally rolls her eyes on her weak memory.

She accepts the bouquet and responds, "Oh, of course we have completed four years and it calls for celebration. But we don't call it as fourth anniversary, we call it fourth birthday of our home."

Manasvi giggles nervously on her words to cover up for the mistake and Ruhi smiles awkwardly with a slight frown.

Whereas Rihan again slaps his forehead and thinks, 'First Mom plans everything, then ruins by getting overexcited.'

Rihan walks closer, taking charge of the situation and requests, "Please ladies, have a seat."

He takes the bouquet from his mother's hand and the ladies take their seat on a single couch.

Rihan states, "I will get something to drink."

They nod and Rihan secretly gives a warning look to his mother, before making his way towards the kitchen.

Manasvi faces Ruhi and smiles nervously, controlling her excitement, so she doesn't commit another mistake and create doubts in Ruhi's mind.

Whereas Ruhi feels shy to start a conversation and decides to stay quiet.

Suddenly Manasvi gets an idea and takes her name to draw her attention, "Ruhi."

Ruhi faces her and she continues, "Till Rihan is making our drinks, how about I give you a tour of our home?"

Ruhi agrees with a nod and they stand. Manasvi grabs her hand in excitement to start showing her around.

Office Room, Armaan's Mansion

Kavya watches Armaan, having a video chat with his overseas client to discuss some urgent matter as she waits for him to finish, sitting on the couch.

As she continues to stare at him, her mind recalls the memory of the morning incident.

FLASHBACK

Kavya's Room

Kavya walks out of the bathroom after taking a bath and dressing in a tracksuit for DID training when she finds Mary in the room, who didn't acknowledge her presence.

She smiles at first, but it soon drops, when she observes Mary is using Kavya's phone and walks closer.

She calls, "Mary."

Mary shivers in fear and turns to face Kavya, while hiding the phone behind her back. She smiles nervously, then lowers her gaze and presses her lips together.

Her reaction stuns Kavya and she walks more closer to ask, "What are you doing, Mary?"

Mary shakes her head and denies, "No..nothing."

Kavya frowns and states in a stern voice, "Mary, I saw my phone in your hand."

Mary doesn't say a word and Kavya continues in a softer tone, "And I know, you were not doing anything wrong. I trust you."

Mary faces her and apologises, while bring the phone to her front, "I am sorry."

Kavya opens her mouth to speak, but her eyes catch her phone's screen, which is displaying Armaan's photos from last night in the car after they escaped from the security guard. She takes the phone to see Mary is transferring these pictures to her phone and faces Mary with a frown.

Kavya asks, "If you wanted these pictures, you could have asked me last night when I showed you. I know, you consider Armaan as your son and adore him dearly. I would never deny you nor would he object as he acknowledges your emotions and respects you. You realise that, right?"

Mary nods with a smile and explains, "I do realise, that's why he asked me to shift here and I know, if I ask, none of you would deny. But why do I need pictures when I can see him and his happy, cheerful self with my eyes."

Kavya's frown deepens and Mary informs, "I am taking these pictures to send to his mother."

Kavya repeats in surprise, "His mother?"

Mary takes a step ahead and states with a nod, "Dear, I know, what happened with you was wrong and Mrs. Raichand is somewhere responsible. But she is genuinely concerned for you and Armaan. Since the day, he left for his business trip, she has been in regular touch with me to take your whereabouts. She is guilty to make you suffer and for her deeds in the past, which has made Armaan, a lonely and arrogant man."

Kavya lowers her gaze, absorbing her words and Mary continues, "Even Mr. Raichand is guilty, but they have no courage to face you and Armaan has always avoided them, even before the marriage. Since 3 years, they are trying to mend their relation with him, but he isn't giving them a chance. Armaan is too hurt and prefers to bury himself in work to avoid talking to them."

Mary wipes the lone tear, escaped from her eye and continues, "And now they have given up, though they wish you forgive him and stay happy together. They know, they deserve to suffer for what they did with him and you. But a mother's heart is greedy, Mrs. Raichand wanted to see the changes in Armaan, so I send her pictures. I am sorry to use your phone without permission, I have even send your and his selfies to her."

PRESENT TIME

Office Room

Armaan's voice pulls Kavya out of her memory land and she cranes her head to find him, standing in front of her.

He asks with an amused smile, "I am calling you since a minute, where are you lost?"

She smiles nervously before making an excuse and standing to her feet, while informing, "I was thinking to follow your lead."

Armaan asks with a frown, "Lead? What lead?"

Kavya takes a deep breath before answering, "You talked with my parents yesterday and my sister today, so-"

She bites her lower lip in nervousness and he encourages to speak, "So?"

She completes with fear, "So....I...I should talk and mingle with your parents."

Manasvi's Room, Rihan's Penthouse

Rihan enters the room, after searching for his mother and Ruhi in the rest of the place with a tray of mocktail in his hand.

He hears their giggles and gazes his mother and Ruhi are sitting on the bed with many photo albums of his childhood.

He walks closer and his eyes widens in shock, finding an embarrassing photo in Ruhi's hand.

In that photo, Rihan is 4 years old, dressed in a pink frock with pink blush applied on his cheek and a white pearl necklace around his neck. He was dressed in these clothes by his Aunty, who has a daughter of similar age.

Recovering from his shock, Rihan places the tray on the dressing table and moves closer to snatch the photo from Ruhi's hand, drawing both the ladies attention.

He yells, "What the hell!"

Manasvi giggles and Ruhi lowers her head to hide her smile, annoying him further and he glares at them.

Manasvi ignores his glare and continues to share the incident, "You know Ruhi, my sister has a daughter and once she dressed Rihan in her clothes. This picture was clicked at that time."

Rihan scolds, "Excuse me, I am standing here."

Manasvi responds playfully, "I know my baby coo."

Ruhi couldn't help the giggles to escape from her lips and immediately covers her mouth, while lowering her head.

However Manasvi encourages her by laughing and wrapping her arm around Ruhi's shoulder. Soon Ruhi joins her, unable to resist more.

Rihan's​ anger turns into a big smile, watching them laughter together and developing a healthy bond.

He thinks, 'If embarrassing myself costs me their smile, then I would love to be embarrassed every minute of my life.'

Rihan clears his throat and taunts with a fake glare, "Now if the laughing session is completed, can we proceed towards the dining table for dinner? I am hungry."

Manasvi slaps her forehead and states, "Oh, I have to warm up the food and set the table."

She withdraws​ her arm from Ruhi's shoulder and gestures Rihan to clean up the mess on the bed. He glares her, though she winks and rushes out, while grabbing her mocktail.

Rihan grabs one glass from the remaining​ two and passes to Ruhi, while asking, "Had fun by knowing my embarrassment story?"

Ruhi grin, taking the glass and apologises, "Sorry, your Mom said she has something interesting to show, but I wasn't aware, it were your photos in awkward situations."

Rihan rolls his eyes, eyeing the other pictures where he is cleaning the utensils, his face and hands are covered in chocolate, falling off the cycle, applying lipstick and many more, as he gathers them to keep back in the wardrobe.

His eyes widen in shock, finding his naked photo, when he was 3 years cold and bathing in the small orange color bathtub.

Rihan hides the photo behind his back and Ruhi informs, while taking a sip, "I have seen that photo."

He thinks, 'What was Mom thinking?'

Rihan shifts his gaze away in embarrassment and Ruhi takes that opportunity to grab her phone and click a picture of him.

He scolds, hearing the camera click sound, "Ruhi."

She giggles, while standing up, "I don't have my friend's photo, so thought to take one."

Rihan orders, while approaching her, "Ruhi delete that."

Ruhi places her glass aside, while walking backwards to stay away from Rihan and denies, "No."

He glares at her and increases his speed, however she escapes by turning around and running around the bed. Rihan chases her, matching her speed.

Feeling trapped between the wall and Rihan, Ruhi glances around to find a way to escape.

He keeps approaching her with a mischievous grin and suddenly she climbs on the bed, surprising him.

Before Rihan could react, Ruhi walks on the bed to the other side and jumps on the floor, then runs out of the room. Rihan follows behind.

Dining Area

Ruhi comes running with her phone in her hand and rushes towards Manasvi. Manasvi frowns, as Ruhi shoves her phone in Manasvi's hand and hides behind her to save herself from Rihan, who is still chasing her.

Glancing at the screen, Manasvi starts giggling and pulls Rihan's cheek, annoying him further.

She teases him, "Aww, you still look adorable, when you feel shy, my baby coo."

Ruhi giggles from behind and he glares at his mother, who then orders, "Now stop glaring and bring the plate of salad from the kitchen."

Rihan orders, "First delete that photo."

Ruhi yells from behind, "No."

Manasvi announces, "Decision taken, the photo will not be deleted."

Before Rihan can argue, Manasvi glares at him and Ruhi peeps through Manasvi's shoulder, while giggling. Accepting his defeat, he sighs and makes his way towards the kitchen. Manasvi turns to face Ruhi to return her phone.

She appreciates, "Good click."

Ruhi grins and Manasvi places her hands over her shoulders to make her sit on the dining chair.

She informs, "I have made Delhi special food today."

Ruhi's asks in surprise, "Really?"

Manasvi nods, uncovering the lids of the serving bowl and Ruhi finds some assorted kebabs​, parathas, butter chicken and biryani.

She comments with a gin, "Thank you, it looks so delicious."

Manasvi serves in her plate and replies, "It will even taste delicious."

Taking her seat besides Ruhi, Manasvi grabs a fork to poke in a piece of kabab and forwards towards Ruhi's mouth. She eats happily and gestures with her hand, that she loves the taste.

Rihan returns with the salad and finds Manasvi feeding Ruhi with her hand. Then Ruhi feeds his mother in return.

He thinks, 'My mother has officially adopted Ruhi.'

Happy with the progress, Rihan joins the ladies on the dining table and serves dinner for himself, while witnessing the growing bond of the two important ladies of his life.

Office Room, Armaan's Mansion

Armaan frowns, while asking with fake amusement, "What did you just say?"

Kavya takes a step closer, sensing the compressed anger in his voice and repeats carefully, "Armaan, you have tried to talk and mingle with my family as we are working on our relation, where this step has equal importance. So, similarly I should-"

He interrupts in a harsh tone, "You think, both are same? Our parents are same? Did your parents blackmailed you to marry me?"

She tries to explain, "Armaan, what happened in the past-"

Armaan interrupts bitterly with a glare, "Change of time and situation, doesn't change the deeds, Kavya."

Kavya grabs his hand and agrees, "Yes, the deeds never change, but people do."

He retorts, "Kavya, your father might say in a joking manner, but his threats and warning are serious. He cares for you and can do anything for you. Your mother worries for you even now, she calls you on daily basis. How are you comparing Mamma and Papa with Mom and Dad? Mom Dad can never be good parents."

She frowns at the harsh tone, he used to address his parents and finds a mixture of pain, anger and longing appearing in his eyes. She can observe the damages caused by Yash and Sonia, but it was high time to fix it.

Kavya tries to explain again, "Armaan, how will you know, they haven't change by sitting here? We should-"

Armaan stops her with controlled voice, "Kavya, for heaven's sake, end this topic here and never mention again, please."

She states, "But-"

He yells with anger, lacing his voice, "I SAID END THIS TOPIC HERE."

Kavya takes a step back in fear with his sudden outburst and he continues, avoiding her reaction, "I don't want you to mention their names and this topic ever again, I am warning you, Kavya. Don't force me to show you my worst side."

Without waiting for a reply or caring to notice the look of hurt in her teary eyes, Armaan glares at her before turning to walk out of the room and shuts the door with a loud bang.

A lone tear escapes her eyes, which she wipes and presses her lips to not cry over his harsh behaviour. But ends up crying as his furious eyes and tone, clouds her mind.

Living Room, Rihan's Penthouse

Ruhi and Manasvi are sitting on the couch, while having an emotional talk on the tragedies of their life.

Manasvi grabs Ruhi's hand to caress and consoles, "I can't relate to your pain Ruhi, I still had Rihan, who was my motivation to fight with the problems, but you were completely alone. I am afraid to think, what would have been your condition, if Kavya and her family wouldn't have taken care of you."

Ruhi wipes her tear and informs, "How can I be alone? Kavy had practically adopted me after my relatives dropped me at the orphanage. You know, she got her and her sister's piggy bank to pay for my school fees."

Manasvi chuckles, while wiping her own tears and comments, "She sounds adorable, I wish to meet her."

Ruhi agrees, "Yes, you should."

Rihan enters the room, while bidding farewell to the client, who called for some work. As he takes his seat on the other couch, across them, he observes their moist eyes.

He demands with concern, "What happened?"

Manasvi explains, "Oh nothing, just sharing of some old stuffs."

Rihan speaks with concern, "Mom."

She assures, "I am fine."

He nods in response, not dragging the topic and Ruhi glances at the wall clock to know its 10'o clock.

Ruhi states, "I should leave now, its 10'o clock."

Rihan nods and offers, "I will drop you home."

They stand and Manasvi takes Ruhi in a motherly hug and states, "I enjoyed the evening with you, hope to see you again."

Rihan smiles and they break the hug as Ruhi replies, "Even I had a wonderful time, you should come home some day and meet Kavya as well."

Manasvi assure with a grin, "Oh! I would love to come."

Rihan chuckles silently as his mother got, what she wanted, an opportunity to meet Ruhi again.

He watches his mother grabbing a shopping bag from the wooden cabinet nearby and offering to Ruhi with a smile.

Manasvi states, "I got you a small gift."

Ruhi hesitates to take and faces Rihan, but Manasvi insists, "Please."

Ruhi agrees with a nod, making Manasvi grin and grabs the bag. She finds a pair of gold earring and thanked her for the gift with a compliment for the floral design.

While Rihan stares at them in disbelief and thinks, 'In just 2 hours, they are acting as real mother and daughter.....Rihan beware, it won't be surprising if Mom kicks you out of your own home and bring Ruhi home, if she rejected you.'

Ruhi bids her farewell with a hug to Manasvi and follows Rihan towards the exit door.
