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.

After this she came to her room and looked at them playing. Usually men look cute while playing with children but Misha thought of it as a show off.
She was getting angrier every minute.
Suddenly Shivam caught her looking at them.

Shivam: Didi come down. You are my lucky charm. I am not able to get him bowled.

Reluctantly Misha went down.... Of course she couldn't deny her little brother. Rishabh was taking full pleasure in teasing Shivam.

Shivam <in tears>: Didi!!!

Misha: Don't worry. This time he will be out surely.

As if either by luck or by Rishabh's grace, he got out. It was Shivam's chance to bat. He ran to Misha and she kissed him on his cheek. He started then.

Rishabh noticed that whenever Shivam would score a six Misha would kiss him. Finally he got out and it was Rishabh's chance again. On the very first ball he got a six.

Shivam innocently turned to Misha and," Di will you kiss him too? " At this Rishabh started laughing and Misha smiled at Shivam's innocence but frowned at Rishabh's laughing.
Her dad came at that time.

Dad: Rishabh, you will have lunch with us only, isn't it?

Misha<sarcastically>: But dad he must be having his cuisines ready at his haveli.

Dad: Anyway he is going to eat with us.

Misha <under her breath>: Why don't you guys adopt him then?

Rishabh smirked at this comment, Indicating he had heard it which made Misha sigh.

With this all went inside and had lunch. Misha's mom noticed Rishabh's gaze at Misha all the time and smiled to herself. After lunch they decided to have some rest.

Mom: Mishu why don't you  take Rishabh to Ganga Ghat?

Misha: Maa he has lived here since forever. The way he came to my house he can go to the Ghat too.

Mom: Why are you so angry at him? He is your friend.

Misha: Oh God Maa. He is not my friend. He is my nobody. Don't know why he is clinging on me!!!

Mom: Yes he is not your friend. The way he looks at you it's more than a friend.

Misha got irritated and went out of the room.

Misha: Shivam call your friend. We are going to Ghat.

They got ready.

Rishabh: Let's go by my car.

Shivam laughed and told him that the Ghat was only at a stone's throw.

Misha<sarcastically>: Oh... he is a prince. He is not used to of walking this much.

After this they reached and Shivam and Rishabh started strolling. Misha sat at her favorite spot and looked into horizon. In her childhood she wanted to get married here at the Ganga Ghat only. Silly her ! She smiled at this thought and suddenly a ' click ' sound came with a flash which startled her. She saw Rishabh and Shivam laughing and frowned. Rishabh had captured a picture of her.

Rishabh: Sorry Misha, your smile was very beautiful so I wasn't able to stop myself.

Misha was about to say something when her phone rang and she went to other side.

Shivam: Why is di angry at you? What have you done?

Rishabh: I forgot her birthday.

Shivam: Oh, it's on 4 April. Don't worry when di is angry at me I bring a rose, a chocolate and a sorry note. She hugs me then and we are good.

Rishabh: She won't take these from me. Why don't you go and give them to her, just tell her that it was by me after she has ended.

After a moment, Shivam went to her with all these stuff and gave it to her.

Misha: What have you done now?

Shivam: First say that you forgive, eat this chocolate and tuck this rose. Read this note too.

Misha did the same. She loved the note.

On the note it was written,
Haan ho gayi galti mujhse main janta hoon. To kya maafi milegi?

Translation:
I know I made a mistake. Will you please forgive me?

She smiled and kept it in her purse.

Shivam: Now this was from Rishabh. Go and hug him.

Misha's face hardened and she went back to home with Shivam and Rishabh following her.
From there Rishabh went back to his haveli but not before getting an invitation for tomorrow's breakfast.
In her room,
