Recap: Riddhima has a cute dream where she is on a date with an unknown guy. The dream is interrupted by Sejal waking her up. Dadi and Vansh discuss about the guests from Inder Anand’s family coming home.
Ab aage…
Vansh: Ohh the owner of the Inder Anand company.
Dadi: Yes.
Ishani: Dadi, How many of them are coming?
Dadi: 4
Ishani: (to Dadi)Ok Dadi. (To the cook) Remember to make some food for 4 guests at 5.
Cook: Yes ma’am.
At 6pm, VR mansion
The guests arrive
Dadi: Have a seat please
Anupriya: I am Anupriya Anand nice to meet you. These are my children.
Kabir: I’m-
(Before Kabir could complete)Sejal (interrupts): I am Sejal Anand and this is Kabir Anand, my twin brother.
Kabir’s reaction:
Uma: I am Uma Rai Singhania.
Vansh: Hi, I am Vansh Rai Singhania.
Everyone else in the Rai Singhania family introduces themselves.
Chanchal (to Dadi): Ma ji, Aapne kaha ki char mehmaan aane wale hai, main sirf teen mehmaan dekh sakti hoon. (Mother [in law] ,You said that 4 guests are going to come, I can only see 3 guests)
Dadi: Yes you said that there will be four. Where is the 4th one?
Anupriya: Ohh Riddhima did not come as she had to go out for an important reason. Anupriya recites the whole story.
Flashback starts
In IA mansion,
At 4pm
Riddhima coughs and sneezes very badly. She starts shivering and taking short breaths.
Anupriya (touching her forehead): Oh no! You have got high fever and the signs you are showing are of Covid-19.
Anupriya (worriedly): Take some rest. And I will prepare some hot soup for you.
Riddhima goes to her room and rests.
At 4:30,
Anupriya: We have to go to meet the Rai Singhanias. Riddhima, you take rest today ok? Tomorrow we will go to check if you have Covid- 19.
Riddhima: Chachi, I am fine now I don’t have any more symptoms. But I might be asymptomatic so I won’t go to meet the Rai Singhanias and spread the disease if I have it. I am feeling fine for now, so I will go to a Coronavirus testing centre.
Anupriya: Ok beta, take care we will have to leave now since their place is far.
Flashback ends
Vansh: I hope she tests negative. I wanted to meet her too.
Kabir: Maybe you could come to our place and meet her some other day.
Aryan (winks in a flirty way): Can I come too? I bet she is gonna be beautiful. She is just mine.
Ishani (hitting him slightly): What kind of talks are these Aryan? You are in only in 11th standard, a sixteen year old kid. At this age, I and Vansh Bhai only thought of studies. You haven’t even met her yet! So stop these rubbish flirty talks.
Aryan (in the weirdest way possible): Interesting, Very Interesting.
Vansh: You do not know to say my dialogue properly. If you want to say it, say it with proper intonations.
Aryan (giggles): Proper intonations.
At the Covid -19 testing centre, Riddhima is registering.
Man: Hello, can you please tell your name?
Riddhima: Oh hello, I am Riddhima Agrawal.
Man: Age
Riddhima: 23
Man: Can you write your phone number? We will SMS you you COVID test results.
Riddhima writes down her phone number.
Riddhima goes for testing.
The person takes a sample for testing using cotton swab.
Person: Finished.
Riddhima: Thank you
At VR mansion,
Sejal: That Riddhima Agrawal will test negative only. Don’t worry guys.
Vansh: Agrawal? But she is your daughter, right Mrs. Anand?
Anupriya: Actually no. Her parents died when she was 5, so we brought her up ever since. She is Inder’s elder brother Akul Anand’s daughter. I am Riddhima’s chachi.
Uma: Then why is her last name Agrawal?
Anupriya: Her parents wanted to do something different so they did not go with the father’s surname. They went for her mother Tara Agrawal’s surname. Even Tara did not change her surname after marriage. She was Tara Agrawal only from the time she was born till she died.
Chanchal: But that means that Tara did not love Akul. Only a wife who doesn’t love her husband does not change her name after marriage.
Anupriya: But according to them, love isn’t defined by wife’s changed name. Love just has to be true from the heart.
Uma: Their thoughts were very modern I must say.
Vansh: I too agree with their thinking.
At 8:00 pm,
Dadi: Won’t you stay for dinner?
Anupriya: No thank you, we don’t want to trouble you all anymore.
Uma: No, You aren’t troubling us as all.
Anupriya: Still we need to go home since it’s far, otherwise it will get late.
Uma: Oh ok, please do come to meet us next time.
Sejal: You can come to our place one day.
Ishani: Sure!
They wave goodbye and leave.
