Vikraant and Kushal run out the door to the courtyard with the others following behind. They are forced to stand on the steps by the security. They see Jaimi and Aarush crouching behind a car door as security personnel run around the premises in search of the suspect. Aarush is hugging Jaimi and is covering her petite frame with his.

After a few minutes, the situation is under control. A few security officers drag a man to a car and drive off. The royal family is standing there like it's a normal thing while the others are shocked. A car pulls up in the driveway and Siddharth steps out of it with security personnel, looking confused. They all walk around the car to where Jaimi and Aarush are crouching. Aarush helps Jaimi up who is a bit shaken. They look at the car door where they can clearly see close to 15 or more bullet holes.

Aarna: Tum dono thik ho?

Aarush nods and checks Jaimi for any injuries.

Aarush: What the hell were you thinking? Why the fuck would you follow me?

Jaimi: You were angry.

Aarush: Tumhe kuch ho jaata toh? Can't have a fucking normal day with these damn serpents around!

Ratan: Yaha firing hue kaise? Itni security ke saath?

Security: Sir, shift change chal raha tha aur achanak se hi firing shuru ho gae.

Ratan: Mujhe koi bahana nahi chahiye!

Aarna: Mere baccho ko kuch ho jata toh? Inn dono ke saath humesha mujhe security chahiye aur Bhavan ke security 3 gunah bada do.

Kiara: Tum dono jaake aaraam karo. 

Aarush and Jaimi head back into the house. The security asks the Mehta's and Patel's to leave the property, but they constantly put up a scene.

Ratan: Inn sab ko guesthouse le jaiye. Inke drame ke liye kisi ke paas time nahi hain.

The security nods and leads them to the guesthouse which is about two minute drive from the main driveway. The security head returns to the driveway where the others are standing.

Security: Rana Sa, aap jo chahte the woh sab ho gaya hain!

Ratan: Inn sab pe khaas nazar rakhna. Aarush aur Jaimi inn sab ke saath kabhi akele nahi rehne chahiye. Inn logo pe mujhe bharosa nahi hain!

Aarna: Yeh sab bhavan se door rehne chahiye!

The security chief nods his head.

Ratan: Chandresh aap sab ko aap ka room dikha dega.

Kiara is heading towards the bhavan, but is stopped by Aarna's voice.

Aarna: Kiara, tum kaha jaa rahi ho?

Kiara: Jaimi aur Aarush ke paas-

Aarna: Unse shaam ko mil lena. Abhi unn dono ko aaraam karne do.

Kiara: Yeh log jab bhi humari life mein aae hain tab musibat hi laae hain. 7 saal baad Jaimi aur Aarush ko dekha par mil bhi nahi paae!

Ratan: Kuch hi din ki baat hain. Chandresh!

Chandresh bows. The royal family leaves for the palace.

Chandresh: Mein bhavan ka butler hoon, Chandresh Chauhan. Aap sab mere saath aaiye. Mein aap ko aapka room dikha deta hoon.

They all follow him inside of the bhavan.

Chandresh: Left wing mein kitchen, dining, utility areas aur personal spaces hain. Aap sab right wing mein rahenge. Please follow!

He takes them through under the stairs into a hallway that leads to the guest wing.

Esha: Humara luggage?

Chandresh: Kuch derr mein aap ke rooms mein hum pahucha denge.

The first three rooms on the left are given to Ayesha, her parents, Naushad, and Mehjabeen. Darshan, Hardik, Jyugal, and Siddharth are assigned the room at the end of the hall. The rest of the rooms are assigned to Darshan's family and relatives. 

Bhakti: Kya hume tour mil sakhti hain?

Ayesha: Aap sab thoda rest kar dijiye phir aap ko tour denge.

They all nod their head and retire to their designated room. Hardik locks the door behind them. They walk down a small hallway into the guest suite. There are two king-size beds. There is a desk and chair placed against the wall. A tv is mounted above a fireplace on the left. A small lounge is set in front of the fireplace with a small coffee table. Two doors on either side of the fireplace give access to the bathroom and walk-in closet. Their luggage is delivered shortly into their room as they chat in the lounge.

Hardik: Can you believe ki Jaimi Wilson ki rani hain?

Siddharth: That doesn't make sense! Wilson ka royal parivaar Singh hain aur Jaimi Patel hain so?

Hardik: Woh Jaimi Ved Patel hain woh bhi usne chupaya!

Jyugal: Uske inn relatives ki wajah se chupaya hoga!

Siddharth: Woh kyu?

They fill in Siddharth on everything that happened before he came.

Siddharth: So uske relative usse nafrat karte hain? That is so stupid!

Hardik: Jaimi se kaise koi nafrat kar sakhta hain? She's so sweet!

Darshan: Woh hume kuch batae tab kuch pata nahi chal sakhta par woh hum se kabhi kuch nahi kahegi.

Jyugal: Puchne mein kya jaata hain?

Darshan: Mile toh try kar lena aur mujhe bhi bata dena!

He grabs his bag and makes his way to the bathroom with a scowl on his face.

Siddharth: Isko kya hua?

Jyugal: Subah se Jaimi ka naam sunte hain uske andar ka shaitaan jaag gaata hain!

They all freshen up and rest for a while. Ayesha gives them a tour of the Bhavan avoiding the second floor and a few personal spaces. They all gather in the dining area for dinner where they meet up with the Mehtas and Patels. Shraddha and Arasi are about to sit at the head of the table seat on either end of the table but are stopped by the employee.

Arasi: Yeh kya badtameezi hain?

Chandresh: Aap waha nahi baith sakhti!

Shraddha: Kyu?

Anjali: Kyu ki woh adhikaar sirf rani sa aur family members ka hota hain aur aap dono unmein se ek bhi nahi hain.

Avantika: Aarush kaha hain?

Adhiraj: Jaimi aur Aarush dono ko bula dijiye!

Chandresh nods and leaves the room. Shraddha occupies the seat across from Darshan while Arasi sits by Ayesha who glares at her. Jyugal raises his brow in question at Ayesha's sudden change of mood. A few minutes later, Chandresh returns and asks them to start dinner as a few employees serve them.

Ayesha: Jay aur Aarush kaha hain?

Chandresh: Woh dono khaana nahi chahte.

Ayesha nods and starts dinner. Towards the end of dinner, Aarush walks down. He walks through the dining area into the kitchen. He hurriedly makes two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He puts them on a tray along with two glasses of milk. He walks out of the kitchen and is about to move toward the stairs when Avantika's voice stops him.

Avantika: Beta, yaha sab ke saath baith ke khaao. Aur, do glass?

Sangeeta: Unn maharani se kahiye ki bhukh lagi ho toh khud aake banae aur khaae. Tujhse apne kaam karva rahi hain!

Anil: Itni badi ho gae par itni bhi samajh nahi hain ki khaane ke liye mana nahi karte aur akele khaana Patel khaandan mein allowed nahi hain.

Aarush: Meine hi usse niche khaane ke liye aane se mana kiya tha.

Nisha: Kyu?

Aarush: Kyu ki yaha kuch logo pe mujhe bharosa nahi hain! Kya pata phirse khaane mein zeher mila de? Kyu?

Chandani: Beta woh galti se hua tha!

Aarush: Haan, zaroor! Ek baar hota hain toh galti hain par kahi baar unn hi do baccho ke khaane mein zeher daalna galti nahi hoti na, Ms. Patel.

He walks out saying that.

Avantika: Adhiraj, tum apne bhatije ko samjhate kyu nahi ho? Tum hi ho jisse woh nafrat nahi karta! Aise kaise bol raha hain?

Adhiraj: Jo sach hain wahi toh bola! Sach bolne se thodi rok sakhta hoon?

They all finish dinner and step out of the dining room into the entry. Nisha and Khushi try to walk up the stairs but the security officers block their path.

Security: Aap waha nahi jaa sakhti. Aur, mahal se order hain ki aap sab ab guesthouse wapas jaae aur wahi rahe. Guesthouse se bahar paae gae toh legal action liye jaaenge sab ke khilaaf. Security aap ko escort karegi.

Four bulky men escort them back to the guesthouse and stay there to keep an eye on them. Ayesha walks out of the Bhavan and disappears into the forest behind the parking lot. Darshan, Jyugal, Hardik, Siddharth, Naushad, Mehjbeen, and the others chit-chat in the lounge before deciding to go to the garden Kartik told them about earlier. 

After half an hour of walking around, they see water fountains, a cherry blossom park, multiple flower gardens, fruit trees, and beautiful sculptures. They walk further and see a palace-like structure with arches and corinthian columns. It is surrounded by a metal fence that is covered by beautiful Wisteria vines. They are stopped by security officials they failed to see earlier.

Security: Abhi aap yaha nahi jaa sakhte!

Bhakti: Hum sirf dekh ke chale jaaenge.

Security: Aap kal subah wapas aa jaana. Hum abhi nahi jaane de sakhte.

They are about to turn around when a voice tells the guard to allow them in. The guards step aside and allow them through the gate. It felt like they walked into a fairytale. The structure is completely white going along with the theme of Krishna Bhavan. As they walk up the stairs, they get a beautiful view of the full moon through one of the arches. They stop at the edge of the water body that has a reflection of the moon and two figures sitting on the other end.

They look across to see Ayesha sitting with Jaimi. Darshan scans Jaimi from top to bottom. She is wearing a black t-shirt that she paired with white denim shorts. Her long is flying with the wind. Her hands grip the edge as her feet are submerged in the cold water. A blanket of fog starts to spread around them.

Jaimi: Aap sab baithiye!

They all reluctantly sit down where they are. The boys dip their legs in water like Jaimi and Ayesha while the ladies sit with their legs crossed. They all look at Jaimi with a questioning look.

Ayesha: Jay, it's time for the truth.

She nods at Ayesha and looks back at the others.

Jaimi: Aap sab mujhse jo puchna chahe puch sakhte hain!

There is silence for a few moments before Bhakti speaks out. 

Bhakti: Tum ho kaun exactly? It's too confusing! 

Jaimi: Mera naam Jaimi Ved Patel hain. Mein Ved Jai Patel ki eklauti beti hoon. 

Mehjbeen: Woh log tumhe najaiz kyu bula rahe the?

Jaimi: Mein surrogate hoon aur during that time surrogacy India mein famous nahi thi. Uss wajah se unke liye mein shaadi ke bina paida hue bacchi hoon. 

Nikhil: Woh sab tumse aur Aarush se kuch zyada hi nafrat karte hain. Aisa kyu?

Jaimi: Jab Aarush 2 saal ka tha tab hi Daksha bua aur Abhishek uncle ne divorce liya tha. Uss time pe divorce bahot shameful maana jaata tha and still is. Daksha bua ki family jinse aap mile the unhone bua se saare rishte tod diye divorce ke baad. Dada aur Dadi ne bua aur Aarush ko apne saath Wilson leke aa gae. Vishnu dada aur sab ko woh baat pasand nahi aae kyu ki unko lagta tha ki Patel Industries ka maliqana haq Aarush ko milega! 

RU: Waisa kyu? Property toh tumhare papa ke paas hi jaaegi na?

Jaimi: Dada aur Dadi ko ek beti chahiye thi par medical reasons ki wajah se possible nahi tha. Unn dono ne bua ko adopt karne ke liye bhi pucha tha par Vishnu dada ne mana kar diya tha. Unka shaq yakeen mein badal gaya jab Dadi ke jaane ke baad unki will se pata chala ki unhone apni kuch properties Aarush ke naam kar di thi. 

Esha: Tum kab aae? 

Jaimi: Ek saal baad! Bua ke divorce ke kuch hi waqt baad Dadi had passed away. Dad ko shaadi nahi karni thi, so a kid was out of the question. Phir, kuch waqt baad surrogacy ka pata chala. Surrogate bhi mil gae and she became pregnant with me. Uss waqt sirf Bua, Dada, royal family, aur Ayesha ke parents ko hi pata tha ki surrogacy karne wale hain. Mere paida hone ke baad announce karne wale the par mein mein premature thi. 

DA: Premature?

Jaimi: Mein 5 mahine mein hi paida ho gae thi. Health concern ki wajah se nahi bataya tha. 4-5 mahine tak mein hospital mein hi thi. 

Esha: Maharani Aarna tumse bahot pyaar karti hain? Tumhari surrogate woh hain?

Jaimi: Nahi. Kiara ki ek judwaa behen thi jo pregnancy ke 5 mahine mein hi pet mein marr gae thi. Aarna Kaki was shaken up. Mein Kiara se ek mahina hi choti hoon, so jab mein paida hue thi it was almost like unko apni dusri beti mil gae. 

Jyugal: Aage kya hua?

Jaimi: Mein jab ek saal ki thi tab pehli baar Dada aur Dad mujhe apne saath Ahmedabad leke gae the. Unhone Vishnu dada ke family ko mere baare mein bataya aur mein surrogate hoon par un sab ne mujhe accept karne se mana kar diya. 

Hardik: Aarush kaunse zeher ki baat kar raha tha?

Jaimi: Unn sab se milne ke dusre ya tisre din Diwali thi. Sab baccho ko dudh diya tha with breakfast par meri dudh ki bottle aur Aarush ke glass mein zeher mila hua tha. 

Ayesha: Jaimi aur Aarush ko diwali gift mein ek mahine ke liye hospital ka bed mila tha. 

Jaimi: Uss incident ke baad Dada mujhe aur Aarush ko lekar abroad shift ho gae inn sab se door. Aarush do saal baad wapas aa gaya aur usne boarding school join ki along with Vikraant, Vikram, and Kushal. Jab mein 3 saal ki thi tab meine bhi wohi boarding school join ki with Ayesha, Kiara, Meera, Atmiya, and Tej. Kuch logo ko hi pata tha mein aur Aarush kaha the. Hum dono ko sab se durr rakhte the par jab bhi hum unn sab se milte the tab khaane mein zeher ya phir seediyon se dhakka dena ya phir kabhi hum dono ko unke ghar mein nahi aane dete the. Hum jaana bhi pasand nahi karte the kyu ki hum dono se koi baat nahi karta tha aur bahot bura treat karte the. Kahi baar hum pe goliyon aur chaaku se bhi humle ho chuke hain.  

Amit: Woh accident?

Jaimi: Woh bhi unn hi hamlo mein se ek tha! Uss raat hum chaar Ahmedabad se Wilson aane ke liye nikal rahe the tab ek car ne speed se humari car ko takkar maari thi. 

Esha: Woh accident bhi ho sakhta tha. 

Jaimi: Uss hi ghaadi ne ek baar nahi kahi baar takkar mari thi. Uss ki wajah se humari car flip ho gae thi and it lit on fire. Kuch logo ne hume ghaadi se nikal diya tha aag lagne se pehle aur hume Krishna hospital le gae the. Mein aur Aarush kuch 3 hafte baad uthe the. Tab hume pata chala ki Dad and Bua were no more. 

Darshan could see Jaimi trying to hold it in together as her voice starts to crack a bit. 

Jaimi: Hospital mein bhi kisi ne mere aur Aarush ke ventilator ke plug khich diya tha par uss waqt Ratan Kaka aur Adhiraj uncle aa gae the aur hum dono bach gae. Ratan uncle ne hum dono ko raato raat hospital se nikal ke abroad ke hospital mein shift kar diya. India mein kabhi kisi ko nahi bataya ki hum dono ke saath kya hua aur unn sab ne kabhi jaanane ki koshish bhi nahi ki. Unn sab ne yeh maan liya ki hum dono marr gae aur woh usse khush the kyu ki unko ab saare paise milenge par Dad aur Dada ki will saamne aae. Bua ne bhi apni will banae thi par sab will ko aise secure kiya tha ki jab tak mein 25 ki nahi ho jaati tab tak will mein kya likha hain woh koi nahi jaan sakhta. Mein aur Aarush thik ho kar padhai ke liye chale gae. Mein USA mein chali gae aur Aarush 3 saal ke liye London mein tha aur baad me Belgium chala gaya. 

Jyugal: Tum dono saath mein bhi reh sakhte the?

Jaimi: Safety ki wajah se ek dusre se durr rehna hi behtar tha. Agar ek mil gaya toh dusra safe rehta aur uski help kar sakhta. 

Darshan: Tum Ahmedabad issi wajah se nahi aana chahti thi?

Jaimi: Haan. 

DU: Inn sab mein tum Wilson ki Rani kaise ban gae?

Jaimi: Wilson ke rules yeh hain ki agar koi raja ke do bacche hain toh dono hi bacche rajghaadee pe baithenge aur phir unke bacche. Raja Prithvi Singh jo Dadi ke Papa the unke baad Dadi aur Uday dada rajghaadee pe baithe. Unke baad, Dad aur Ratan Kaka. Ab jab Kaka ghadee se utar rahe hain tab mein aur Vikraant baithenge. 

Naushad: Aur Rajkumari Kiara?

Kiara: Mein nahi baithna chahti!

They all turn to the source of the voice. Kiara walks up the steps with a bright smile on her face. She walks to Jaimi and Ayesha and hugs them as tight as she can. 

Kiara: I missed you two so much!

Jaimi/Ayesha: We did too!

Kiara: Mujhe itni badi responsibility nahi chahiye aur mere yeh dono siblings mujhe bhi zyada acche se kar sakhte hain toh mein tension kyu loon? I'm going to be a free bird aur yeh dono kaam karenge! 

Vikraant: We'll be sure to assign you an important role in the royal court. 

Aarush and Vikraant walk to the ladies. Vikraant hugs Jaimi and Aarush hugs Kiara. Vikraant hugs and greets Ayesha. 

Kiara: Kaunsa role?

Vikraant/Aarush: Darbaan! 

Kiara: I hate you two! 

Jaimi shakes her head at their childishness. Darshan sees a genuine smile on her face. A security guard walks up to Jaimi and whispers something in her ear. 

Jaimi: Raat bahot ho gae hain. Hume so jaana chahiye. 

They all retire to rooms. Jaimi and Aarush are surrounded by guards until they went inside their bedroom. There are two guards at their door guarding them.

Hardik: Jaimi aur Aarush ke liye bura lag raha hain! Hum log kya kya soch rahe the aur kya nikla. 

Siddharth: Jaimi aur Aarush ki unn sab ke liye nafrat jaiz hain. 

Jyugal: Paiso ke liye kitna sab kiya unhone!

Darshan: Kaise ghatiya log hain! Apno ko hi maarne ki koshish karna. For what? Money!

They chat for some time before dozing off.
